Prospectors Occasionally Realize
Their Dreams Of Great Riches.

I'D In the Black hills in South Da-
kota are a number OF those queer H.
dividuals. the prOspector or Erubstaker,
whose prospect holes dot the hillside
for miles like q great rabbit warren.
Their little log cabins are usually Tar
from the haunts Of man in the fast
uesses OF the mountains. and their
lonely labors are only occasionally re-
Warded by discoveries Of the hidden
riches OF the earth. One OF these
strange charaCters-in fact the most
eccentric in the hills-was a big red
headed Irishman-
Fer twenty years he had tunneled
and blasted without a strike Eeward-
ing his toll. Last summer Dame For
tune smiled upon him. He opened up
n rich lode. which he quickly disposed
of for q good round sum. With the
money in his pocket he FASTENED TO
Deadwood, where he announced his in
tenuOu OF taking a trip to the Emerald
isle. IN arranging the itinerary Of the
journey the ticket agent asked him If
he wanted cabin or saloon passage.

Fponded. "A cabin is it, Phat the

COST HIGH; SERVICE POOR
EIND MORE SATISFACTION IN
COAL OIL LAMPS.

a boycott is threatened by a number
Of residents in this city unless better
service and lower rates are given by
the Titan Light < Railway company
During the last four weeks a large
number Of persons, formerly patrons
or the company, have purchased lamps
and are preparing TO use kerosene oil
as an iuumina tor. Those who have
made the change express themselves as
being mere than satisfied with the re-
suits and from present indications iU is
not unlikely that a large percentage Of
the light burners of this city VIII dis
card the incandescent lamps altOgeth-
err
Two reasons are advanced for max
ing the change. First, Il y claimed
that the cost Of electric lights has in
creased 50 much of late as TO make
them almost beyond the reach OF the
citizen Of average means. The sec
oud and principal reason Is the poor
service given by the local company.
Says Light Bills Are Doubled.
one man who has made the change
said yesterday:
My light bills have been doubled
the past Two months but I would not
mind the expense SO much If the ser
vice was satisfactory. But when they
double the price OF electricity and the
lights are so dim that YOU have 10 look
twice TO see yourself in a mirror, OBJ
ject."
Many people believe that their me-
tiers do not register correctly, and have
complained TO the power company
about the matter. The majority Of
salt Lakers are unable to read their
meters and have TO depend upon the
company's agent. This fact alone has
caused much dissatisfaction among the
consumers
A short time ago The Herald ex-
planned to its readers how to read a
meter. This afforded some relief, but
stiu there are complaints. one man who
tried 10 protect himself by reading his
meter makes the following protest;
Il clipped the instructions out Of the
paper down at my office the other
morning and decided that I would see
what could be done. When 1 went
home that evening I repaired TO the
darkest corner of my cellar where the
meter was placed and attempted to de
cipher the meaning Of the sheirOgly-
phics on the dial The company had
very thoughtfully placed the meter out
of range Of the nearest light and after

the figures by the pickering light Of
matches, 1 gave up in disgust
Demand For Lamps Heavy.
The manager OF wei known china

cIared yesterday that the demand for
lamps had been heavier during the
month of January than ever before.
"The persons who are purchasing

quite vvelI-to-do," he said. Most of
them sayn4 nat they have become dis
