Theater Site Full of Gold,

A foundation Of gold will uphold the new
DeadWood theater. 1t was only few days ago
that excayating began for the foundation of
the new playhouse. 1t necessary to go to
bedrock in order to obtain a good foundation,
and bedrock IS from sixteen to eighteen feet
below the surface. A force of men, with SHOW
els, teams and wagons, went to work and found
indications of rich placer deposit. The CLEAN,
of the golden metal caught their eyes at once.
The news spread like wldfre, and it was not
long until each man had pan and was wash
Ing for gold. No disappointed. Every
painful of dirt showed colors and even a few
nuggets were found. H. II
| The trenches grew deeper day by day and the
| gold has not yet failed them. The MANAGEMENT
has taken hold Of this claim in earnest and
will sluice all the dirt thrown up in excavating
Conservative estimates show that the lot will
yield at least sufficient gold to pay the cost OF
the expensive foundation. ,.-..- 2
In the early days, when placer claims were
new In this gulch, the present theater site was
part of one Of the richest claims in Deadwood
Hundreds of thousands of dollars were taken
1 out of these claims. The gold found in this re-
cent excavation is undoubtedly an old channel
that was accidentally left untouched at the time

The spot is directly across the street from

Deadwood s. D.. Sept 15.-Mrs. Alma Tom
linson of Quincy, ILL., is better off by $4,000
than she was a few days ago, while Jerry Har-
rington of this city, mining man and prospector,
has regained possession Of bunch of letters
which he valued at that price.
Three years ago Mrs. Tomlnson and her three
children came to Deadwood for visit, and while
here met Mr. Harrington. He made love to her
from the beginning, adding present after pres
ent, paying all the expenses Of summer outings
for herself and her children and devoting his
time, attention and money to them all. Finally
he proposed marriage and was accepted. Having
been successful so far, Mrs. Tomlinson thought
she might with safety leave the field for short
time. Accordingly she returned to her home in
Illinois and began at once to receive the letters
which have been SO annoying to Mr.. Harring-
ton. E q ~ ~ ..t
Attic well along in years, he is by no means
slow In the matter of letter-writing. What
Mrs. Tomlinson wrote in reply no one knows,
but all of his letters were carefully kept and
offered as evidence in the suit which she in
stituted against him for breach of promise She
wanted $4,000, but Mr.. Harrington was unwill-
ing to have the suit come into court. He CON-
promised, receiving his packet of letters and
giving her in exchange $40, 600. ~ ,-- s.-.-

Blood Poison, for which these minerals

The Movements Progress

That the good roads movement is
popular and has come to stay is evil
denced by the attention now given to
good roads engineering in our educa-
tional institutions. The Rhode Island
College of Agriculture and Mechanic
Arts has recently issued a circular con-
corning its our of Highway Engi-
neering, which circular can be had
from the president by addressing him
at Kingston, r. I. This medium is to
call the attention Of any young men
who are thinking of doing engineering
work to the advantages of including
education along good roads lines. This
last addition is badly needed and will
be of immense value in the Southern
States of the Union where less atten-
ton, perhaps. has been given to this
than in those further north. That it
seriously concerns us all is evident
without any argument, and the action
of President Butterield. of the Rhode
Island College of Agriculture. is to be
highly commended.
In addition to this we learn that in
the Iowa State College at Ames, Iowa,
the Iowa highway commission has es-
tablished a road school in which every
piece Of the work, including class work,
work, field work, modern road machin-
cry. cement in highway improvements,
etc., is taught. Plans are being made
to build model sections of earth. gra-
vel and macadam roads, and practical
men have been engaged for the schools,
and it is thought that the results win
be very 1attering.
Certainly the Iowa people deserve
great credit for their enterprise in this
direction.

OF specIal Value.

In Southern Louisiana the good roads
movement is Of special value from the
fact that our great crops Of cane and
rice weigh more in proportion to the
area of land on which they are grown
than do the crops of any others Of the
States Of the Union. Thousands or
acres Of sugar cane have been lost in
Louisiana during rainy harvesting sea-
sons from the practical impassability
of our roads, and while no good roads
movement a change our climate, we

stumbled Into Rich Mine.

Mamie Brown, eighteen years old, a
negro servant, while searching for a
stray cow near the Homestake mine,
half a mile east of Butte, stumbled in
to a gopher hole out of which had been
thrown several small particles OF
quartz in which gold %glittered. The
girl carried the sparkling rock home
and assays in Butte show that the rock
carries more than 81, 900 in gold to the
ton. The girl led her employers to the
gopher hole and the whole country
was staked off, the locaters being
"Con" Conklin, s.. W. Brown, "Al"
Stevens and Miss Brown, each taking
an equal share. Two shafts have been
sunk thirty feet, revealing two large
gold leads in which the free gold can
be easily seen. About $500 worth OF
rock is in sight and excitement runs
high over the discovery.

Need For Good Highways.


continues to attract wide
@ @ spread public interest,
judging from the extern
%0@ sive discussion Of the SUBJ
ject in the public press: The PROPOSE
ton of Federal support in this respect
seems to be gaining strength in the
country at large, and the good roads
propositions al presented to recent
Congresses are being earnestly exam
ined by many interested citizens, as
he demand upon the Capitol document
rooms at Washington attests. These
bills seek to enlist the financial sup
port of the Federal Government in the
improvement Of the wagon roads of
the country, the plan being for Uncle
Sam to supply a sum equal to the sum
any State will supply up to the maxi
mum provided for.
Congressman Brownlow, in explain
ing the provisions of his bill, said that
Federal cooperation in the premises
was but just in order to fairly distrib-
ute the burden of taxation necessary
to improve the public highways. He
makes this telling point:
$50 long as we pursue the original
method of taxation the entire burden
of cost for highway Improvement falls
upon the Owner of agricultural lands
and the persons living in the rural dis
tricts. When the great mass Of the
people lived in the rural districts this
was a just and equitable distribution
Of taxes for such purposes, but with
the changed conditions of the present
day, when one-half of the people live
in cities, and much more than one-half
Of the wealth is concentrated in these
cities and in the corporations that are
so powerful at the present time, it is
absolutely necessary that some means
should be devised whereby the reven-
ues requisite for the great improve
ment tina is called for should be de-
rived from all of the people and re-
sources Of the country as nearly as pos
sible. and not rest, as heretofore, upon
the farming classes, who are the imme-
date losers by every failure of crops
and suffer by every decline in price of
agricultural products"
Another important consideration is
that, in the last analysis, the cities and
towns benefit from good roads just as
much as do the people living along
them. 1t is to the interest of the mer-
chant as well as of the farmer to have
an improved system of roads in every
part Of the country.
The development of the rural free
delivery system has served to bring
the people of the country into closer
touch with % only the towns, but
with the Federal Government, than
ever before. The Government, speak
ing and acting for the country at large,
has, therefore, a direct interest in the
welfare of the people living in the rural
sections, and the benefits to be derived
from good roads would be shared not
merely by those living upon them, but
by all the people.-Atlanta Constitu-

A nervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge of Mysteries, is unfit to care
for children ; it ruins q child'S DISPOSE
ton and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves; it is impossible
for her to do anything calmly.
The ills of women actl like a frebrand
upon the nerves, consequently nine
tenths of the p~rostration, ner-
vous dependency. 1.-The blues,'' sleep
lessness, and nervous irritability of
women arise from some arrangement

Do o experience fits of depression
with restlessness, alternating with
extreme irritability? Are your spirits
easily affected, so that one minute You

Do you feel something like q ball ris-

choke you; all the senses perverted,
morbidly sensitive to light and sound

If so, your are in a shattered
