The Black Hills Mining association ia putting
in complaint before the state board on account
Of the assessment Of mining lands this year at
the rate which was fixed. for that class Of lands.
The assessment as returned from Lawrence coun-
ty was little over Sill an acre, and this was
raised % per cent by the state board The
other Black Hills counties returned lower valua-
lions, and all were raised by the board, but not
to the assessment rate in Lawrence as that
county is known to be better mining section
than the southern Hills. sE% 2 II 8
Ever since the organization of the state efforts
have been made in the legislature to secure a
different listing of mining lands from agricul-
tural lands. and the Black Hills members have
always been able to defeat the measure but the
last legislature pushed it thru, and with the
first listing under the new schedule there is
complaint, which will no doubt be brought before
the board at its meeting on the ED. -. Il

MIRACULOUS WORK

Samples of the Demonstrations
Which Have Been the Talk of East

What His Preparation Will Do.

less than three minutes3 The answer
to this question would seem to be a
very positive no, yet certain incidents
occurred Wednesday, which well may
cause those who witnessed them to hes
itate before answering this question.
Callers at Voegeli Bros. main store,
Wednesday afternoon were treated to
sensation by a specimen of the demon
strations which have made the Great
Cooper, as he is called, the talk of the
leading cities of the east.
In rapid succession number of peo-
pie who were afflicted with deafness
were given demonstration of one OF
the Cooper preparations with results
that seemed to border on the mlrac-
ulous.
The demonstration consisted OF an ap-
plication of this preparation. A few
moments after it had been applied
these people undoubtedly heard again.
At the first question asked them, a
look of extreme surprise spread over
their faces and the question would be
hesitatinglv answered. These questions
were asked by Mr.. Cooper himself, and
hear me now,' or chow long have you
been deaf etc.
The questions were asked in an ordi-
NARY tone of voice, at first at distance
of only few feet, but the auestioner
would gradually step further away un-
til the distance of about twenty feet
hid been reached when he would snap
his finger ard say "Do you hear that7'
In almost every case he received an
affirmative reply.
How this remarkable work is accom-
plished would be difficult to say, but it
seems certain that there could have
been no subterfuge in the results &C
complished to those who were eye-wit
nesses of the expressions on the faces
CT these people at the first sound OF
Cooper S voice. T..

ing one Of the demonstrations said:

done, but I would swear that the ole
man I saw, heard and heard distinctly

left. He was as surprised as myself
and said he was going home to show

Mr.. Cooper stated that he had made
: demonstrations of this character in pub

e Missoula, Mont, Aug. 17.-Forest fires are
raging in the western part Of Montana with
increased fury, according to reports last night
from Clinton, and the damage will be heavy.
II. H. Dickinson, who in company with a
crew Of men, is assisting Special Land Agent
Sharp in lighting the fire, says that ten men
are engaged III stubbornly fighting the dense
wall of flames. The fire near Clinton started
from tree that was struck by lightning. 1t
spread quickly from this tree to the grass
and underbrush,. and burned in a straight line
almost seven miles north of Clinton.
From this line it has burned west as far as
the EYE can see, and as there is much fallen
and dead timber In that part Of the country,
the fire at times has been very fierce and de-
structiye. There seems to be a regular wall of
fame running for seven miles north and south,
and this flame was spreading westward when
Mr.. Dickinson left the scene. -
Men have been fighting and beating back the
fire all along the line in an endeavor to keep
1t from spreading eastward across the Clinton.
