Judge j. P. Allison, 7. j. Steele, prom

tune Mining company, and their at
torney. Henry Frawley, are in Denver
attending an important meeting be-
tween the Denver faction of this COM
pany and themselves. For some months
back there has been trouble brewing
in this company. there having been
formed several factions to such an ex-
tent that a receivership vas threatened
Sioux City has several hundred thou
sand dollars invested in the company,
and thereSis scarcely a city of any size
in the continent that has not some
stockholders. The control of the stock
ard the board of directors was in the
hands of he Denver crowd in whom
the outside stockholders lost confidence.
The Deadwond Stockholders went tic
Denver with the determination to
know how much stock and bonds re-
manned unsold. the Denver promoters.
1T is stated, made a complete bac1down.

I. j. Steele is general manager, prin.
cipal office moved from Denver to Lead
There is now no question locally about
the future of the company. The mine
and mill have been doing great work
for several months past. The stock
1otation of his company has injured
the Black Hills mining and has acted
as a damper to other investments that
might have been made. The adjust.
ment of the fractional differences Of the
company is considered the turning
point in the mining promotions of this
district. 1t is believed here that the
Hidden Fortune company can easily be
made II of the greatest dividend pay,
ers of the west.

THURSDAYS PROCEEDINGS.

Pierre, S. D.. FEB. 2.-The bill to pro-
vide regulations for the organizations and
control of life insurance companies in the
state brought out a hot exchange in the
senate between Lawson and Rice.
Bonney moved to amend the bill to ppro-
hibit the investment of their surplus out
side South Dakota, North Dakota and
AinncSOta.
Rice attacked the bill generally. He
said it allowed any seven men to or
ganize and did not require amy reserve
from them until after the first years
premiums had been received and that
they could secure the premiums and do
soon trust a hrigand with a bludgeon as
the average life insurance agent.
The bill is intended for an Aberdeen
company, which is well known expects to
organize under its provisions. 1t was de.
Tended by Senator Lawson. who took the
remarks of the Moody county senator as
applying to the proposed organizers of
the Aberdeen company.
He declared that every age brought INFO
existence .ta Don QuiXote who was fitting
at imaginary enemies, and that the Moody
county senator was in the lists. Thai if
a company was organized of seven such
men as Senator Rice it would be a calam-
ity to the state, but he named the pro-
posed incorporators of the new company
and detied him to show anything against
any of them.
Rice replied heatedly that no personal
allusion was meant, and that the was OPP
posing the bill generally.
Senate bills We're presented as follows:
BY Cooper, requiring all persons liable
for road work to put in time or pay S1.50 a
day, and requiring claims against estates

This picture is nearly a failure,
because the marble columns which
support the upper portion Of the
temple are SO covered with flowers
that nearly everything else is hidden
from view. The chiseled marble
represents the dead president lying
with his head onthe arm Of a female,
tigurative Of the Republic of Mexico.
President Juarez is unquestion-
ably the most distinguished charac-
ter in modern Mexico. He is the
Washington of that country. He
was president Of Mexico from 1857
till his death in 1872, but had to
struggle desperately to maintain his
authority, in even asmall portion Of
the country, while Macmillan had
the support Of French soldiers.
Juarez was reduced so low at one
time that Macmillan decreed the
war with him at an end. and all
persons in arms against the empire
to be bandits and when captured to
be shot. Under this decree four
Of President Juarez most noted
generals were executed as well as
many other soldiers belonging to the
army Of the republic. This action
on the part Of Macmillan cost him
his life, and the lives of two Of his
best generals.
When the war of the rebellion in
this country was over, Secretary
Seward automatically informed
France that the United States could
not tolerate the establishment of an
empire in Mexico based on the mill
tary support of a foreign country.
In other words, FraHce was told to
get out of Mexico, or this country
would assist her departure. At that
time we had a million veterans, the
equal Of any soldiers the sun ever
looked down upon, and France
abandoned Mexico without waiting
Tor their invitation to do SO. With
the departure of the French soldiers
in 1867, President Juarez commence
ed his advance southwark and in a
few weeks had Macmillan and his
army pened up in the city of Quere-
taro. After a seige, which lasted
from March until the 18th of May
1867, Macmillan and his army were
forced to surrender. The Emperor
and q of his generals were condemn
ed to be shot, i'll retaliation for their
execution of prisoners captured by
them. The United States govern
ment requested President Juarez to
spare MaXimilian's life, but the re-
quest was not needed. Nineteen,
however, of the convicted generals
were pardoned. Out on the stony
hillside where the surrender took
place, Maximilain and his generals,
Miramon and Mejia, were shot at
seven o'clock on the morning of June
10Th, 1867. Macmillan had been
led to believe that his wife was dead,
a story told him through pity, to
which he replied: "One tie less TO
bind me to earth" These executions
constitute the last grand tragedy in
the history OF Mexico.
In the same panteon and only
few PAGES distant from Juarez' tomb
are the tombs of Generals Miramon
and Mejia. The monuments of
these men, who were enemies during
their lives, are practically side by
side, and are cared for by friends
who extrol their virtues to inquiring
visitors.

Macmillan and these generals were
