CAPITAL Means Activity.

Work will be resumed at the old
keystone Holy Terror mine within the
next six weeks. A deal has been made
by which enough money has been rails
ed to put the mine OF a good sound
financial working basis.
The advantages contemplated in
clude a cyanide to the COM
pany's mill. The Holy Terror will now
treat it's own ore by the cyanide and
concentrating systems. The mill with
thirty-five stamps will probably be in
creased to fifty-five. The Holy Terror
is one of the oldest and best known
mines in the southern Hills and had
the name at n time of being the
richest mine in the world. The vein
of ore, while narrow, carried phenom-
enally high values.
The Keystone property that adjoins
has a large body of concentrating and
cyaniding ore, and now that the two
mines can be worked in conjunction
there Is no reason why the company
should not have great financial sue.

Seven prisoners in the county Jail

SQUIRRELS FOUND USEFUL.
Gathering Of Pine Cones Saves Them
From determination.

The Black Hills forest reserve, the
most important of all reserves in the
country, is conducting a line of exper-
iments that is resulting in establishing
a unique industry.
1t is Capt. Bullock's plan to smooth
over every burnt spot in the reserve
by seeding broadcast in the spring
with pine cones. This experiment was
tried on thirty acres of ground last
spring and yielded very good results,
the thirty acres producing one pine
seeding TO each square foot. This was
encouraging to the forestry depart.
ment, which at nee decided to push
the work.
Capt. Bullock has a large army of
helpers composed of the small boys of
the Black Hills. They are gathering
pine cones. for which they are paid by
the forestry department % cents a
bushel. Under them is still a larger
army, that of the red squirrels. The
squirrels are the greatest cone gather.
ers in the country and so valuable are
they now that the bounty which has
been offered by the forestry depart.
ment for their pelts has ceased, and
instead. these little animals are gath.
ering cones for the boys, who, in turn,
gather them for the department.
The boys have already gathered
some 1900 bushels, which will make
about 1900 pounds of seed. They are
not allowed to pick them. but gather
them from the ground or from the
squirrels dens. AS high as nine bush
els of have been found in one
den, and several of the holes of these
little forest rangers have yielded at
least six bushels.

LOS GRIEVANCES SLIGHT.
Little Testimony Of Value 10 Secured
at Cheyenne River.

The investigation of affairs at Chey.

has been completed, and the Indians
have been given the fullest opportun-

who was present for the whole time.
The Indians made numerous charges,
but few of them had anything further
than personal opinions to back them.
The Indian Rights representative has
gone to Cherry Creek subagency and
will give the Indians at that point a
chance to tell their grievances. After
that he will make his report to the as

LAND BRINGS A GOOD PRICE.
State Capitol Lands In Mcpherson
County Sell at $40 to SIS Per Acre.

Sounty SeH at SlU 10 @lo FER acre.
The sale of state building lands in
Mcpherson county was a most salts.
factory one to the members of the
state capitol commission. While the
lands offered were appraised at from
$40 to SIS per acre, the sale price was
above that figure, the tracts offered
bringing 1915 above the appraised
price. The highest price paid for any
one tract was SIS per acre, and a num-
Der of sales were made above the $40
minimum.
Commissioner Bach reports that he
could have sold at least twice as much
land had it not been for the fact that
the farmers have been delayed in
threshing operations and are not Just
now in position to purchase. Before he
left Euraka a number of German farm
ers asked that he make a second Offer
ing OF lands there at a later date, after
they had marketed their summer crop.
While the lands were sold with an OBJ
ton OF three payments, over half the
land purchased was paid for in cash.
One point shows what kind of land
was offered, it being that all of it was
taken by residents or land owners in
the county, who bought adjoining
tracts to land they already W and
farm. They bought because they knew
Just what they were getting, and it
was not a matter of speculation on
their part. Offerings will be made in
Faulk and Hyde counties this week,
and good sales are looked for.

About Fort Pierre,

Maj. Chittenden, who has charge of
the department of the Missouri, was at
Fort Pierre inspecting the location of
the Chicago & Northwestern railroad
bridge which will cross from Pierre to
Marion's island, above Fort Pierre.
From this point the road will turn
south through town, options for most
OF the land along the right of way al.
ready having been secured. Maj. Chit
tenden is inspecting also the damage
done the government work at this
point by the July fiJod, and in com.
pany with Congressman Burke and
Mayor Lavery is going over the
ground carefully with a view to rec
ommending improvements which will
eliminate any danger of a recurrence
OF the disaster. Mr.. Bowen of the en-.
cheering corps will arrive in a few
days, at which time the details of the
work will be entered into and recon-.

THE HILLS N
Northwestern Surveyors at Work 80
Miles Up Bad River.

"sS ~ Soo VtVSbs
The railroad situation is moving
along satisfactorily. The surveyors
are nov about thirty miles up Bad riv-
er in the location of the main line. The
sidetrack work is practically done at
Pierre, the track being laid down to
the water edge at the point where the
temporary bridge is to be constructed.
This temporary bridge will not be a
pontoon but a straight pile bridge, and
will not be put in until the ice stops
navigation. II 1t stands the pressure
of the ice going out next year a draw
may be put in and the bridge be left
for operation during the summer, but
it is the intention of the company to
put in extensive yards on the west side
of the river and cross about all the
material which they will need for the
extension from this end while the
bridge Is in for the winter.
The location of the permanent bridge
has been fixed at a point near the stock
yards, at the upper end of the city,
and work will be commenced on it as
soon as the plans are permanently APP
proved by the government. The bridge
Is to be a Glow" one with a draw. Maj.
Chittenden of the government service,
while in Pierre, had a conference with
the railroad men in regard to this
work. He stated that while the plans
had not all been approved in detail,
they generally met the requirements
OF the government and were satisfac-
tory so far as the government is con-
cerned.
A high official of the road, in Chi
cago, announced a few days ago that
the road would be in operation from
Pierre to Rapid City within a year
from the present time.
While the location of the new depot
has not been announced. it is a prac-
tical certainty that when it is con-
structed it will be north of the pres
ent location about a block on a new
track which will be constructed on
what is known as the second bench
back from the river.
Large piles of ties and rails are be-
Ing piled up in the storage yards on
this side of the river, and materials
for the bridges, both permanent and
temporary. are now on their way to
Pierre to begin the construction on
both of them.

Homesteaders have been coming in
rapidly for the last month and the land
office in Pierre has received 461 FL
lngs, the greater number for any other
month in it's history. This means that
over three and one-half townships of
the land west of the Missouri river
was taken in this Office alone for the
month. and at the same time the
Chamberlain. and Rapid City offices
have been accepting a large number.
For the last three months four and a
half townships of the government land
in the Pierre district alone have been
taken and are no longer open to entry.
