WILL TRY, TRY AGAIN.
FauIkton Has Difficulty in Securing
Artesian Well.

Because of a popularity in the for
nation Of the great artesian basin at
the point where it extends under
Faulkton, that city has had the great
est difficulty in securing good arte-
sian wells. Recently such a we'll was
completed for the county on the court
house grounds IN Faulkton, but like
other wells of the kind drilled here, it
was not a success, and another will
be sunk by the contractors in the eff
fort to secure we'll with a good flow
Thus far four artesian wells have been
drilled within the limits of Faulkton,
only che of which has had good flow.
The wells in the aggregate have cost
a great many thousands of dollars.
The failure TO strike good flows in all
the wells sunk at this place is stated
to be due to the fact that, unlike 9TH
err portions Of the state, the water
bearing rock which forms the famous
artesian basin of South Dakota is of
very poor quality Immediately under
Faulkton. The rock at this point is
exceedingly hard, more compact and
less porous than even in the near vi
entity of the town. Artesian we'll drill
drillers have been compelled to go to
the great depth of from 1000 to 14OO
feet at this point, and at that depth
experience considerable difficulty in
penetrating the rock owing to it's I'M
usual hardness. At no other point in
the state are the same conditions
found as at Faulkton

Plans Are Drawn and Bids Will Be
Opened June II.

opened June ~.
In accordance with the result of a
recent special election at Castlewood,
when bonds in the sum of $11 900 were
voted for the construction of new
school building, preliminary steps are
being taken for the erection of the
building. Only one vote was cast
against the issuance of the bonds for
the purpose stated. A Minneapolis
firm has been awarded the contract
for preparing the plans and specifca-
tions for the new building Bids for
the erection of the new school building
will be opened on June q, and it is ex-
without delay, the intention being to
have the structure completed and
ready for occupancy when the fall term
of school commences. While bonds to
the amount of $1,000 were voted for
the erection of the building, the struc-
ture will cost about $4,000. The board
of education, when the bonds are sold,
with cash on hand, will have ample
to cover the cost of the building. The
structure will be constructed of press
ed brick 1t will be two stories in
height, with basement, and will con-
tain eight school rooms. Castlewood
has needed a new school building for
several years, and will now have one
of the finest structures of the kind in
this part of the state.

BIG BLAST.
It 10 Expected to Break 5000 Tons Of
Gold Rock

The Wasp No. 2 company is about
to set off very large blast at the
mine south of Deadwood. which will
break something like 5000 tons of
rock. 1t is the custom of this company
to spend several weeks making holes
IN the face of the quartZite ore and
putting in several pounds of powder,
which will break enough ore to run
the mill full capacity for several
weeks. This company is working at
the lowest grade of ore found in the
Black Hills. The stock is owned by
local people who have been receiving
dividends ever since the mill was IN
ished. Originally the company built
small mill, expecting to treat about II,
300 tons of ore then in sight The COM
pany has heated over 100000 tons. and
has close to a million tons that can be
figured on to a certainty.

encountered another body of ore south

CAPTURE OF MONEY EXPERT.
Counterfeiters' Den Found in an Old
Cemetery,

The discovery by the United States
authorities in Sioux Falls of counter.
feiters' den in what is known as the
old Rowland cemetery, situated near
Sioux Falls, explains the mystery sur,
rounding recent developments of a
strange nature in the vicinity of the
old home of the dead.
AS the result of raid on the den.
the federal authorities succeeded in
capturing the man Who 1t is alleged is
the maker of a great amount of coun.
terfeit money which has recently been
placed in circulation at Yankton and
other places in the southeastern por.
ton Of the state.
The only occupant of the den at the
time of the raid by the federal officers
was Levi Clark. an eX-cCnvict. Ever
since it was discovered that spurious
coins were being circulated at Yank.
ton and elsewhere Clark had been
watched by the federal authorities.
The making of molds and counterfeit
money is a mania with Clark. He is an
eccentric character and takes great
pride in the expert manner in which
he fashi ms the molds, and has not hes.
ltated to talk, even with officers of the
law, as to his experiences in this re.
gard.
The counterfeiters den was located
IN the shelter of a clump of bushes in
the old cemetery and was quite we'll
concealed None of the manufactured
spurious coins were found in the den,
but the authorities captured COM
plete outfit of lies. molds and other
implements and material. The capture
of the dies and molds indicates that
Clark was a confederate of man Civ
ing his name as A. G. Sharp, who was
recently arrested at Yankton on the
charge of passing counterfeit money.
When taken before a United States
commissioner for his preliminary hear
ing, Sharp waived his examination and
was held for appearance at the next
term of federal court.
The coins were made of pewter and
given a silvery finish by being dipped
in quicksilver. While fresh from the
quicksilver they are good counterfeits
and during rush of business would
be readily taken.
The dies and molds captured in the
counterfeiters' den in the cemetery ex-
actlv fit the coins passed by Sharp at
Yankton, which points to the fact that
Clark was engaged simply to 11lanufac-
ture the spurious coin, while Sharp,
and perhaps other confederates, took
care of the matter of getting the coun-
terfeit money into circulation.

FINDS PREHISTORIC RELIC.

Mrs. Mary Small of Pinedale, situat
ed on the western slope of the Black
Hills, discovered an interesting relic
of a prehistoric race. While rounding
up cattle she noticed what appeared to
be bar Of iron protruding from a
huge boulder. With the assistance Of
some Of the men employed on her
ranch the boulder was broken open
and the bar of iron fell to the ground.
The pin was sent to the Columbian
university and there put ts severe
tests.
The results Of the tests have Just
been announced by Mrs. Small. The
experts who examined the bar pro.
nounce it an iron implement used in
mining by prehistoric race. The met.
al is much harder than the iron OF
the present Gay and has ring like a
piece OF silver.

DONATES LAND.
Block In Cuba for the Mitchell Univer.
ci<v

Some months ago President Nichol
son of Dakota university delivered an
address in Sioux Falls setting forth
the needs and prospects of the univer-
sity. Some weeks afterwards he re-
ceived letter from a gentlen~n,
former we'll known citizen of Sioux
Falls, now residing in the island of
Cuba, stating that he had been very
much impressed with the university as
presented by it's president, and that he
had concluded TO make donation.
He offered an entire block of land in
a new addition to the city of KAN
pagney, formerly known as Puerto
Principi. 1t is a city of 10000 inhab-
ltants, and the land is now worth per-
haps as much as the same tract of
land would be in Mitchell but every
thing points to the fact that in the
near future it will be much more val
liable. Within the last few days some
extended correspondence looking to-
ward the Investigation of the property
has resulted in definite donation of
this land to the university for endow-
ment purposes.
Rev. ]. P. Jenkins, who has been in
the East during the month of MAJ, has
sent several moderate donations from
Eastern friends to the university, and
now announces that Rev. Daniel
Steele, for a long time professor in
Boston university and a friend of Pres.
ident Nicholson of number of years
standing, has donated 240 volumes
from his private library to the college,
The books will be shipped in about
two weeks. This following upon the
notable and useful donation of Dr.
Brush announced last year, will be
gratefully received by the students
and friends of our university.

OUT.
That polygamy is still in vogue
among some of the older Sioux Indians
notwithstanding the strict orders of
the Indian bureau at Washington,
which for years has been endeavoring
to discouragethe practice, is shown by
the case of Swift Bear, venerable but
robust Sioux warrior, whose home is
on the Grow Creek reservation. In re-
ferring to the matter he stated that he
fnds it very inconvenient getting along
with only two wives after enjoying the
association of three for a period Of
sixty years. Swift Bear was one of
party of several Indians who have just
visited some of the towns in the CEN
trail part of the state for the purpose
of giving a miniature wild West
show on their own account and for
their own profit.
