Artesian Fish.

When the 'artesian well on the
north side Of the town OF Aberdeen
which was the first artesian we'll in
the artesian basin of South Dakota
or at least in the northern part of
the state, vas sunk twenty years ago,
the assertion was made that there
were fish in the waters. Everyone
secuted the idea and the person who
first made the discovery was accused
of drinking a poorer brand of whis-
key than usually the custom even in
those pioneer days. Other citizens
investigated the matter, among them
W. K. Finch, at present steward of
the Aberdeen Commercial club, and
an affidavit of Mr.. Finch is now on
file in the government archievss at
Washington testifying that minnows
had been taken from the artesian
we'll.
The matter has been lost sight of
until this week, when workmen were
repairing the old we'll and a number
OF minnows were thrown out by the
force:of the water. The fish we're
picked up and placed in a glass jar
and are now on exhibition in Whites
hardware storesWhere they are at
tracing much attention. Mayor
Aldrich, a number of alderman ard
other citizens were present at the
we'll when the minnows were thrown
to the surface and vouch for for the
t%ruthfulness of the story. The fish
have eyes, indicating that they r
natives of surface water and did not
originate in subterranean depths.
The discovery Of the fish renews in
terest in the origin OF the South
Dakota artesian basin, and renders
it still more probable that it origin
ates from some large stream, probu-
bly, the Missouri river. The fact
that the fish manage to live despite
the strong pressure OF the ~ar,esian
stream is so fur unaccountcd for.

Japanese Professor Here.

Masaloshi Abe, K. NJ, professor
OF mining at the Imperial university
in kyota, Japan, has been in the
Black Hills for two weeks past, for
the purpose OF looking through the
mines and mills and famililriZing
himself with the PRACTICES Of the re-
gion. He bears letters Of introduce
ton, and so far has been through
the Homestake at Lead. Monday
evening he came down to this city,
and has been looking over the School
of Mines. He has also been visiting
different points of interest in our
section and was much pleased with
what he saw.
Prof. Abe has been an extensive
traveller, and is now on his way
home from Europe. After gradu-
ating in his W country he spent
five years in Germany attending
university. Since then he has been
in all parts OF the world where there
was anything of interest to his pro-
fession
He was in the United States seven
years ago and saw some of the prin-
cipal mining operations. He is a
member of the American Institute
OF Mining Engineers, and also holds
membership in other technical So
ciet:cs in various parts of the world.
He is evidently devoted thorough
ly TO his profession, and while ma
turally interested in the war be-
tween his country and Russia, pre-
fers mining and kindred subjects in
conversation.

large purchase of stock was not made
we do not know OF any mining ven
venture in the world we would pre-
fer to invest in than this one having
Mr.. Trenam at the head and his
word back of it. He has invested his
own money in the proposition and
enlisted the support of q few friends
and the investment is really q case
of picking the investor rather than
than the investor picking the invest
ment, His property is showing up
beautifully and we sincerely hope
that the proposition will exceed the
widest dreams of the promoters and
and outrival the wonderful gold pro-
duc:ng mines near Goldteld, New.
E. B. Andrews, who was at school
here with Mr.. Trenam is with the
company at Fey, Nevada, and with
him is also Earl W. Badger, both
young men we'll and fuvorably known
here.

two children in the best of health
and good spirits added that he would
be reprimanded on his return home
for not making a longer stay here
and meeting more Of Mrs. Trenams

business was in such a shape that 1t
necessitated him leaving Thursday

Iaturday afternoon a big commo-

mh shorter time than it takes to

a'ived they discovered in the cen

Mdenls from the School OF Mines
slling their throats hoarse.
The boys had just come up from

Lennox Independent: "The In

1t is not much-simply this. That

putting themselves in a position to

parents to sorrow; and that there are

MOntana's Wool Clip,

Montana's wool clip fer this sea-
son will aggregate slightly more
than 1900, 900 pounds, and of this
amount more than %, 900, 900 pounds
have been contracted for on the
Sleeps backs at prices averaging
about q cents q pound. 1t is esti-
mated that there are about Z, 900, 900
sheep in Montana, and the average
clip will be about 6 pounds.
Thus Montana sheepmen will real
ize close to 80, 900, 900 for wool alone,
and, as the price for mutton is above
the usual figure, the year will be one
OF the most prosperous in the his
tory of the state, SO far as sheepmen
are concerned,
Never before in the history of the
state has there been such activity
on the part of buyers for eastern
houses. Indeed, the buying of wool
on the animals backs will have the
effect of doing away with the wool
markets this year.
In ordinary years the wool is
carted to the principal centers-
Great Falls, Billings, Big Timber
and Dillon, 70 be examined and bid
upon by the eastern representatives.
These sales generally begin on July
4, but it is predicted that ere tina,
date approaches this season upward
OF 80 per cent OF the clip will have
been contracted.

Bismarck Officers Pleased

Work is beng pushed night and
day at the Bismarck mill. The q
agement has not been entirely free
from the delays that come t, all
large plants at starting time, but
nothing Of IN unsurmountable ma
ture has been encountered. DR.. A..
W. McCandless and DR.. w. II. Tag
CART, OF Chicago, both officers OF aud
heavy stockholders in the company,
have put in ten days here looking
the property over and examining
all the details in connection with the
mine and mill, and express them
selves is perfectly satisfied with the
equipment.
They say the thing that has i'm
pressed them above all else is the
fine class OF men employed. In point
OF intelligence they r far above
the men of like employment in Chi
cago. They are apparently as much
interested in the progress of the
work as the owners themselves.
They are very capable and willing
and leave n branch OF the work to
take up another without the least
hesitation or delay. When it comes
to working: over time Or doing any
or everything they can lay their
hands to, they have amazed our Wis
itors by the avidity with which they
accept the tasks.
Messrs. Taggart and McCandless
feel that the Mainstay company is
very fortunate in. having such men
as 7. R. Griffith for manager and e.
C. Engle for superintendent, and
for the quality of men they have
gathered around them. They also
express their appreciation of the
cordial and hospit lble treatment
they have received at the hands Of
our people during their visit here

Squatters In the Black Hills Forest
Reserve.

T. E. Blanchard and &C. Barney,
OF the state land department., have
returned. They we're here with At
torney General Hall to push cases
in regard to the department in this
section of the state. Two cases were
considered, on which hinges a large
amount of state lands Of the Black
Hills. One was in regard to squat
,ters filing on school lands in the for
est reserve, where squatters have
gone onto either section 10 and 36,
and have rendered their filings at
the land Office after the same was
surveyed. In the test case on this
the land Office ruled with the state,
that such filings cannot be accepted.
although a large number of such FL
ihgs have been placed on the records
in the past.
The other class of claims, in which
no ruling has yet been made by the
local land officers, was in relation to
mineral lands on the state tracts.
Under the law, it is claimed that
the state has no right to sections lG
and 36 in casc they are mineral
lands. AS a matter of fact, there
arc none other than mineral lands
in the Black Hills. In cases claims
have been made as mineral lands on
tracts in which the amount of gold
in the soil is not sufficient to pay to
work it over by any methods, not
being more than a few cents to the
ton, but the land is valued for either
agriculture or timber, and, in fact,
is taken for these purposes, but
claimed as mineral and held as such.
1t is a fine question to settle in such
cases, as there is no question as to
the small amount of mineral, but
IS IL suhclent to place the lands in
the mineral" class?

Arts and Crafts Exhibit.

Perhaps the most interesting ex.
hibition of the kind ever held in the
city was the Arts and Crafts ex.
hibit, held the latter part of last
week, in which vas exhibited paint
ings, books of past centuries, valua-
BILE pieces of glassware, crockery,
Indian relics, and in fact most every
thing in the way of curios and
mementos Of past deeds was to be
seen.
The method of securing the diff
ferent displays was through the
agency of committees in soliciting
the different ladies and gentlemen
OF the town and getting from each
II some thing that would be of in
terest to put on exhibition. The re.
suit was Truly wonderful in the
number and valuation of many of
the exhibits.

Of the many exhibits would take

the, returns going TO the public
library. One display that deserves
especial mention from a truly artistic
standpoint was the paintings by
Miss French. The lady has spent
her life studying her chosen work,
and the results she obtains are mar
%velous, to say the least. Mere praise
for such work sounds empty, indeed,
and the work must be seer to be ap-
rreciated. Miss French has a class
OF pupils, and it is fortunate that
we have such an artist in our city
so that those who wish may receive
instruction IN the work.
The Arts and Crafts exhibit was
astonishing to all who visited the
display. and it is to be hoped tina,
such affairs will be continued in the
future, If for nothing else than from
an educational point of view.
