Sheep Lost for Fifty Years.

ST. Louis Reporter: A flock of
Tunis sheep was exhibited at the
worlds fair last week and excited
considerable interest. The Tunis
type OF sheep is rare breed and the
flock exhibited was descended di..
rectly from two animals that were
brought from Africa to this coun try
in 1899 by General William Eaton,
who was at that time United States
consul to Tunis. He purchased
them from the, Bey OF Tunis,. but
only one ram and one eve survived
the voyage to this country.
This pair, Caramelli and Selma,
were placed under the care of Judge
Richard Peters, noted sheep breed
er near Philadelphia, and flock OF
Tunis 0sheep were raised. These
were all sent south to North and
South Carolina, Virginia and Georg-
ia, where they were. successfully
bred until the beginning of the Civil
war. The breed was then entirely
lost until small flock was discover
ed in the swamps Of South Carolina
in 1890 by Maynard r. Springer Of
Columbia. The half dozen were
caught and the breed again started.
The flock which are being exhibited
at the worlds fair were the progeny
of this remnant Of the flock of Tunis
sheep that were lost sight OF for
fifty years.

The Union takes the position that
it is not intended to open indiscrim-
in ately the western half of the state
to the 64O-acre proposition. None
of these 64O-acre tracts shall include
any lands that may, in the opinion
of the secretary of the interior, he
reasonably practicable to irrigate
either under the national irrigation
law or by private enterprise; and
that the secretary shall first desg-
nate and exclude from entry under
this act the lands, which in his
opinion may be possible to irrigate
as stated, and shall thereafter from
time to time, open to entry under
this act any Of the lands so excluded
which, u pom further investigation,
ne may conclude cannot be practi-
casly irrigated in the manner afore
said.
The opening Of these South Da-
kota lards is up to the secretary of
the interior and it is not probable
that the rights of the men with Sc
cure and established farms will be
interfered with. The lands to be
opened under this act are only those
that cannot be irrigated, which will
apply only to scattering sections.
This matter will be taken up more
in detail BY the Union at an early
date, and mean while the signatures
to the petitions are rolling in fast,

moved from the cattle corporation

made applicable to the land of the

Homestake Production.

1t is difficult to believe a single
mining company should produce as
much as one hundred and fifty tons
"f gold bullion, and yet this is the
record made by the famous Home
stake Mining company, the princi-
pal gold producer of the Black Hills
mining district.
The regular semi-monthly ship
ment of gold bricks was made from
the Homestake mine few days ago,
An interesting feature of the ship
ment was the. fact that the gold
bricks which comprised the ship
ment bore the number 1000 stamped
upon hem.
It has been the custom to number
the bricks consecutively ever since
the Homestake first operated, and
the fact that the com pany has now
sent out 1000 large bricks OF the
precious metal gives one an idea OF
the great amount Of gold that has
been taken from this great mine.
Of the two thousand gold bricks
shipped by the mine, twelve hun
dred bricks have been shipped dur
in ing .tl7's.lF the last eight eaS
Figured approximately this makes
in the nelghborhood of I2O tons of

TOT the year. He expects 10 plant
the last Of those on hand this month
or next.
The output Of this hatchery last
year was $500, 900. The falling off
is attributed to the damage sustain
ed by the hatchery owing to tho
floods Of last June. The hatchery
did not lose many fish, but the dam
age interfered with operations and
it was not posriole to obtain the
greatest efficiency.
The force at the hatchery is at

two egg gathering seasons il this
