The force employed for this purpose
consists Of about seventy Indian police
men, who constantly patrol the border
of the reservation. Every effort wiz
be made to keep sQuatters and pros

NEW PEST ATTACKS CORN,
Strange Worm Makes Raid on Cribs
and Cranaries.

Strange Worm Makes Raid on Cribs
and Granaries.
Some alarm has been created among
the corn raisers Of the northeastern
portion of the state by the discovery
that some OF the corn has been attack
ed by a pest which may do consider
able damage to corn in cribs and gran
aries.
The pest is a pew one so far as most
farmers are concerned, and none OF
them has been able to clearly identity
it. The pest resembles the gray cut
worm and works entirely on the ears
Of the corn. 1t attacks the ears at or
near the tips, and burrows into them,
eating out cavity and causing rot
So far as the observation Of the
farmers whose corn mas been damaged
extends. the worm appears to hatch
out from nit that is deposited in the
silk and works itself into the busks.
They develop into large worm very
quickly, and then attack the ears. The
extent Of the damage thus far done by
the new pest cannot even be guessed

WORMS nv THE CORN.
Not Much Damage, but Farmers Fear
for Next Season.

Not Much Damage, but Farmers Fear
for Next Season.
Farmers report what is termed the
corn worm" in corn fields in South Da-
kota. It is similar to the pest reported
several years ago in Iowa corn fields,
and is a brown worm from three
fourths OF an inch to an niche in length
and resembling the cutworm in appear
ance. 1t appears first at the tip Of the
corn ear, working in the silk and bur.
rowing down the rows, often half way
to TIE butt of the ear. When exposed
to light it curls and dies.
While little damage to fields gener-
ally is reported, there Is some appre-
hension as to what may result next
season, as it is said brown-winged
butterfly deposits innumerable eggs
early in the fall which do not hatch
till the following spring. and are sell
dom killed by frost. The worm ID said
to do most damage in wet seasons.
Many farmers will burn over their
corn fields as soon as the crop Is gath
cred. hoping thereby to destroy what
promises to be a pest to the corn next
season

wheel and cut off. There was only one
witness to the accident, and it is I'M

members of the train crew denied
having thrown Lindsay from the train,
claiming that they knew nothing OF
what had occurred until some time al

It is believed that the railroad com

HoMEsTAkg CYANIDE PLANT

Treat Tailinos.
The Homestake Mining company will
build 1.500-ton cyanide plant at once
for the purpose Of treating the shines
in Deadwood. About 1000 tons OF ore
are milled daily at the Homestake
mills, the tailings for $500 OF which
can be reduced by gravity percolation
and go to the sand plants. The other
$500 tons are known as shines and re-
Quire to be filter pressed in order to
have the cyanide solution penetrate
them. 1t is for the purpose of treating
this latter class of tailings that the
plant will be built In Deadwood. The
company has had for a long time the
options on a large amount Of land
which they are now taking up. AS
soon as the houses can be removed
from the location work will begin on
grading and excayating, SO that this
can all be completed while the weather
is favorable. The shines will be
brought down in iron pipes from Lead
City, three and one-half miles away
A good deal OF the machinery to be
used is being made In the company
shops, and the main part OF the presses
will come from Perrin. in Chicago
About twenty-four Of these presses will
be used. The entire cost of the plant

Belle Fcnrche Project Is Being Rapid.
~ Advanced.
Good progress is being made In the
preliminary work in connection with
the mammoth irrigation system near
Belle Fourche, on which the United
States government win expend the
sum Of several millions of dollars.
The construction OF both the diver
sion dam and the inlet canal has pro
crossed satisfactorily during the last
few weeks, and good showing Is now
being made The excessive rainfall
during the early part OF the season de-
layed the work greatly, but since the
dry weather came the contractors have
been able rapidly to push the work
Hundreds Of men and teams are now
employed in the work, which the con-
tractors hope to have completed with
in the time limit. The work on the d.
| version dam is further advanced than
on the inlet canal. An electric lighting
system was recently installed, and now
both. day and night shifts are being
| worked.
Ii Is estimated that more than one
third of the work onthedam is complet-
/ ed. and that onefourth of the work on
the inlet canal has been completed.
At the present time only a small .por-
ton OF the canal has been entirely
completed. A stretch of probably
three fourths of a mile from the dam
to Crow Creek requires only the nm
| fishing touches, while about the same
distance near what is known as Giles
ranch is also nearing completion. A
distance OF about one and one-fourth
miles on the proposed canal as yet has
had no work whatever done upon II,
Work on a big cut Of forty-five fee

well. This is at the point where tnt
