To Begin Work at Pierre.

Pierre, Nov l5.-After weeks of pre-
liminary work the Northwestern road is
about ready for active construction work
from this end of their line TO Rapid City.
One train load of piling has been re-
ceived, and another is expected soon.
The machinery is here for driving the
piIing and it is expected to begin work
on the temporary bridge by Monday.
Winston Bros, of Minneapolis, the
contractors on the line have sent in their
drst grading outfit, and it will be taken
across the river ready to begin grading
work the first of the week.
The company has had hard time
holding its Italian crews here, they leav-
ing for Chicago as soon as the mornings
began to get cold. This lack of men is
being remedied by the bringing in of
laDorers from Minneapolis and ST. Paul,
most of them being Scand navians who
are not afraid of little frost. These
crews will be boarded in camp which
has been established by the company
near the stookyards, and with their help
they will be able to get the side tracks
cleared of the loaded cars which have
been piling up for a week.
1t is the evident intention of the com
pany to get az much as possible done on
the grading this fall, and to keep the
work going on as long as the weather
will permit. Spring work is much more
likely to be delayed by rains, and bet.
ter grade can be secured by fall work
than in the spring.

VIII w work ali Winter.

From Sioux City comes the report that
the Chicago, Milwaukee and st. Paul
Railway company is preparing for win
ter work on its extension from Cham
berIain to Rapid City. At AtChamberlain,
where the road crosses the Missouri
river, piers are being constructed to di-
vert the ice into the main channel ofthe
stream.
1t is said that if the winter shall be an
open one the graders will be kept at
work on the west end, in the Hills, right
straight through until spring. The in
tention is to get as much of the grade in
shape for the steel before spring as pos
sble. The roadbed is being well con-
structed, and wheA balasted will make
first class line across the state. Mil.
waukee trainmen are prophesying that
trains will be running through from Ra-
pid City to Sioux City by next Septem-

Special letter from Clay, Robinson &

Supplies of cattle this week have been
liberal, although about 5000 smaller
than a week ago. Packers were pretty
we'll filled up at the close of last week +,
and the market at the outset this week
was rather weak. There were no very
eager buyers, and the trade dragged
along with a lower tendancy This was
the case all week, and at the close FRI
day prices for the most part on all kinds
of killing steers was right around 10 a.
20c lower than a week ago. There have
been no very choice steers here this
week, and pretty good class is selling
around $3.40 a. 1915, although undoubt-
edly something choice would command
a considerably better figure. The slack
ened demand for feeders has also had a
depressing effect on the medium flesh
grades that have met competition from
feeder buyers and packers. Cow stuff
has also been in about the same fix as
steers; prices are at least 20c lower than
n week ago, good kinds selling around
$3.50 a. $500; fair to good S2.40 a.
S2.75; Gamers $3.50 a. Sl.75. The in
quiry for stockers and feeders has let up
considerably during the past couple ol
weeks, and there has been decline this
week of fully % per cwt. on the big end
of the run. However, choice yearlings
and the better classes of heavy cattle
where they had good quality have hard.

GOLD OUTPUT OF THE BLACK HILLS
Lead Call; Several inquiries have
been made as to the amount of gold that
has been produced in the Black Hills
since It's opening by the whites. and a
considerable interest has been taken in
the matter by great many people, go
the Call has been to the trouble TO in
vestigate the matter, and finds that the
gold output of South Dakota, (the Black
Hills from the time than any record
has been kept of it in the United States
assay offices and mints, to December 81
| 1904, inclusive, has been Sll2,l63, 759.
| Add to this the amount which has been
produced so far this year, approximate
ly S8,000,000, it gives total of Sl20, ,l63,-
659
This is far less than the actual amount,
when it is taken into consideration that
very large amount of gold has been
used in the arts of which no account has
been kept, while large amount has also
| been taken from the country and accred-
tied to other districts. These figures
only include the gold mined in the Hills
! from the time the records were kept, for
before then there had been much placer
gold shipped from the country and taken
out by miners and disposed of in the
east, and were it possible to get at the
exact figures. it is safe to say that TIE
grand total would he something like
$l40,000,0O0.
This does not, by any means, repre-
sent the entire mineral production of the
Black Hills, for during the time covered
by the figures given above there has
been large amount Of silver mined in
the country, and its value has been cen.
siderable, amounting to many millions
Of dollars. However, it is pretty good
showing for country which is so small
in extent, and which has been worked
for years by crude methods of milling
but now that more perfect methods Of
treating the ores of the country have
been employed and larger development,
given to the various districts, it is sure
that the yearly output of the preciou:
metals will increase, and continue tC
grow, and the Black Hills take rank soor
as one of the largest producers in the
world

HING OSCAR 4

to be arbitrated the kindly Swedish
king was in demand. He seems almost
to belong to another era, the old viking
days, with their glorious sea kings. In
fact, he may be imagined to resemble
one Of the most famous of these, the
first Olaf, he who converted Norway to
Christianity some 900 years ago.
Olaf, whom Carlyle has described as
the most beautiful soul in the north
and whom Longfellow has immortalized
in his TALES of a Wayside Inn" was
tall and blue eyed, jOviaf and sunny,
but a very Cromwell in his wrath. In
the year 1000 he was surrounded at sea
by a force much larger than his own
and forced to fight for his kingdom.
All day the battle ragged. and finally
none OF Olafs ships, except his own,
the Long Serpent, was left. Einar
Tamberskelver, his best bowman had
fought till set Of sun by the side of his
monarch. At last the bow snapped in
his hands, and Olaf asked. what was
that?'
'''Tis the realm Of Norway breaking
From thy hand. o kingl"
cried Einar, and so it proved. In the
end Olaf Ieaped overheard and never
again was seen in Norway.
So one today might say to Oscar:
'''Tis the realm Of Norway breaking
From thy hand, o kingi"
Oscar II. who was born Jan. 21.
1929. is the grandson of the famous
marshal of Napoleon, Jean Baptiste
Jules Bernadotte, prince of Ponte
Zorro. who assembled the throne OF
Sweden and Norway under the name
Of Charles XIV. in 1913. Bernadotte
was the son of a lawyer of Pau, France.
and distinguished himself as a soldier
in the revolutionary wars. He occu-
pied diplomatic post at Vienna and
in 1888 served as French minister of
war. In 1905 he bore a conspicuous
part in the battle OF Austerlitz, for
which Napoleon made him field mar
shall and prince OF Ponte Zorro. Despite
this fact, Napoleon and Benadotte
were never good friends, and the French
emperor had nothing to do with the
election Of his field marshal as crown
prince of Sweden in 1910. Bernadotte
was required to abjure the Roman
Catholic church and become a Protes-
tant which he did. Some time prior
to this he had married Desiree Clary,
daughter of a French stoclbroker and
sister of the wife of Joseph Bonaparte.
One of the present King Oscars
novels revoIves around this incident.

gagged to Desiree Clary himself The
