Gonzales, a Porto Rican, was on the
4th OF August, 1902, denied admission at
the port OF New York Commissioner
Williams took the ground that she was
an alien immigrant. likely TO become a
public charge and thus liable to ex-
clusion under the immigration act OF
1891. On appeal, the Supreme court
decides that the Porto Ricans, owing no
allegiance TO any other power, are ma
tionals' OF the United States and en-
titled to freedom OF passage. In other
words, they are virtually subjects. and
under conditions which are generally
applied, say, 10 natives In the French
colonies, or to our own Indians; they
are entitled to all civil rights under
our Constitution and laws.

Worth Reading.

In all the Baking Powder "Wars" that
have been intermittently waged in the
last twenty years, there is one point that
has been overlooked by the belligerent
makers of these goods. Rival manufac.
turers have contended themselves with
accusing their competitors of making an
unwholesome product. The question OF
keeping quality, and, therefore, effici
ency in raising bread, the only purpose
for which baking powder is used, APP
pears to have been generally ignored.
There are many powders which, when
fresh, and the can is first uncovered, will
do fairly good work, but after standing
for some time on the pantry shelf, the
powder becomes so weak as TO be almost
worthless as far as raising bread is con-
cerned. This is especially true in the
case of the so called "Phospate" pow
ders, which, were it not for this fatal
defect, would be satisfactory baking pow
ders. The unsuccessful attempts to over
come this fault of the "Phospate" pow
ders has enlisted the services of more
chemists and cost more money than the
solution of any other problem connected
with the raising Of bread The makers
of these phosphate" powders raise a
great cry about the wonderful healthful-
ness of their product, but what matters
all this if the powder will not fulfill the
only object for which it is purchased ?
The housewife to whom economy is an
object will avoid these Phosphate" pow
ders

w. +. Hanley Of our city has been So
licited by many of his friends to become
a candidate for the position of senator
from this district. The CHRONICLE can
say that Mr.. Hanley has consented to
become candidate for the place, which
is fact pleasing to US, as we know ofno
man in either county that is better quail
flied for the position than Mr.. Hanley.
He has been a resident of Custer for
many years and is thoroughly familiar
with the needs of the district and of the
Hills for that matter. 1t cannot be said
that Mr.. Hanley is seeking the Office, as
he has been many times in the past
years solicited to become q candidate for
the place but has always declined until
now. While he has always been closely
identified with the affairs of the repubi-
can party and has always worked for its
success, he has never sought office hold
ing. He has. however, kept in close
touch with public affairs, and has been
close student of public matters, and is in
every way equipped to render valuable
service to the district and to the state in
a legislative position. OF his candidacy
the CHRONICLE will have more to say

Death of James Mcdonald.

Word was received Wednesday Of the
death of James G. Mcdonald at his home
in Hill City on Tuesday evening, after
few moments ofsevere coughing. From
the Pioneer-Times of April 81, we learn
that Mr.. Mcdonald had been at his du.
ties at the st. Elmo mine during the day
and returned to his home in the evening
as usual where he was taken with the
spell which resulted in his death. lie
had not been feeling the best for some
time, and was subject to spells. At the
time of his death he was about rs years
of age, and lefta loving wife to mourn
his loss. MIR. Mcdonald has been iden-
titled with the upbulding of the mining
industries since the early seventies. Be-
fore coming to the Hills he was heavily
interested in mining properties in Me-
vada, where he was very successful.
During the last few years he was in
charge of the st. Elmo property near

The Sundry Civil Bill, recently passed
by the house, and soon to be passed by
the senate, carries an item Of $4,000 Ia
furtherance of bill introduced by Rep
resentative Martin, to be used in the re-
survey and the erection of permanent
stone monuments to mark the boundary
line between the states of South Dakota
and Wyoming. The original survey Of
the west line of South Dakota was very
inefficient, aud it has been marked for
many years with merely wooden posts.
Now it will be re-suryeyed in careful
manner and permanently and properly
marked by large stone monuments. The
necessity of this has long been apparent
and the provision is very gratifying to
both states. Mineral claimants along
the western boundary line of South Da-
kota will then know in which state they
are in.

The Lead Call is authority for the
statement that the Puritan Mining Com
pany has purchased the North Star mill,
and will have the same removed imme.
diately to site on the Puritan property
in Strawberry gulch. From a reliable
source the CHRONICLE learns that the
reason for disposing of the mill was its
failure to successfully treat the ore. We
further learn that il Is the intention of
the North Star Company to carry on de-
velopment work on its mines.
The new mill of the Extreme Gold
Mining & Milling Company on Ruby
gulch, three miles west from Custer, was
to have been started yesterday. The
plant is equipped with ten stamps, and
the process employed in the treatment
of the ore is the same as that in other
stamp mills, amalgamation after stamp
ing and concentration, the mill being
supplied with concentrating tables. A.

To make clear the actual effect of pro.
visions of the recent age pensioner or
der of Commissioner Ware, about which
a large number Of inquiries are being
made, the following official statement
has been made: There appears to be
an impression among many of the old
soldiers that allowances of pension un-
der the age order of the commissioner
of pensions are in addition to pensions
allowed heretofore. This is an erron-
eous idea of the order. The law pro-
hibits the payment of more than one
pension to person for the same period
and the effect of the order on those hav-
ing pension already, only will be to
increase such pension up to the age limit
if the pension already drawn is below
that amount"
