Dam at Chamberlain May Become q
Permanent Roadway.
Chamberlain. S. D., San. lS,-Manager 4
W. Sanford, of the Chamberlain Pontoom
Bridge company, has a large force of men
and teams at work, building a dam from
American island 10 The West bank of the
lsvcr. The main channel is on the eash
side of the island. but during high water
there is always much water west of the
island. The Gam is being built in the hope
Of establishing a permanent roadway from
the island TO the wese bank, thus shorten
ing the bridge by 1850 feet.
The dam VIII be made forty feet wide
n The base, and twenty feet wide on the
top, with a hc,ght Of about fifteen feet,
which IS supposed 70 be above the high
water mark. 1t is being made of sand,
and large quantities Of chalk rock will he
blasted from the banks CT the river with
which to face the dam on both sides,
along lis entire length of 1,5CJ feet. The
test as 10 the durability OF the dam will
come with high water next spring. If it
holds, sand and soil viii lie washed in so
as to be make it secure for all time.
The construction of this dam at large
expense has given rise to the belief llI;lt
Sht carly extension of the Milwaukee
road, from Chamberlain to the Black Hills
is probable. BY making a permanent
roadway from the island to the west bank
of the rover. in connection with the long
dlkeS already constructed on the east side
OF the island, it would require but n half
dozen large iron p%ontoon boats to give the
railroad a crossing that would answer the
purpose.

CAPITALISTS INTERESTED.
A Search for Oil Being Carried on a
White Rock.

White Rock. S. D., Jan. lS.-Thc talk
Of oil in this territory will not down.
Every few months some one comes in with
fresh specimens, or reports gas or oil as
flowing from shallow wells dug for water.
Now Two farmers from "a new district re-
port places on their farms where nothing
grows, where the horses slip when walk
ing over it, and also show samples Of
earth that burns with a fierce heat.
From Il reliable source it is learned that
Minnesota capitalists are forming a com
pany to begin operations next spring.
They have secured the services of an cx-
pert from oil fields. who says that in other
states where prospects We're no better,
some Of the finest wells have been diScov-
cred. 1t is three months since these re-
ports came in, but as the persons were
working quietly, nothing could be learned
definitely until Tow. a representative OF
the Standard Oil was here some
months ago making inquiries, but there
is so much talk OF this kind that little
notice of him was taken at the time.
There are no less than twenty wells in
y few miles of White Rock that have
either spouted gas or flowed Oil in small
quantities at different times. 1t is be-
lieved that the prospects are such as to
warrant Il careful Investigation and the
expenditure of sufficient funds to sink
