At the meeting of the city council
Monday evening the following COM
munication was presented by Mayor
Clark:
Hot SPRINGS, s. D., Aug. Z, 1905.
10 the City Council, Hot Springs, s. D.,
Gentlemen: l hereby tender to you
my resignation as mayor of the city of

ways accorded me during my incum-
bency of the Office.
l wish also at this time to express to
the people of Hot Springs my high ap-
probation of the honor conferred upon
me in electing me to this important
position entered upon the duties
of the Office with an earnest desire to
perform them faithfully and to the
best of my ability for the full term to
which vas elected, but business af
fairs and the health of my family have
seemed to require my absence from the
state indefinitely.
For fifteen years / have, upon all oo-
casions and in all places, used my best
endeavors to further the interests of
Hot Springs and assure you that it
shall be my pleasure to continue to do
so wherever l may be and whenever
the opportunity is offered.
Very respectfully,
HARRY d. CLARK,
1t will be remembered that Mr.. Clark
was elected mayor without any opposi-
tion, and his resignation will be re-
gretted by all, although he has been
absent from the city for several months
and has not been mayor in fact during
that time. Yet there has been linger
ing hope among his friends that he
might not sever his connections com
pletely. But this settles the matter
and for year or more he will doubt
less be away. Mr.. Clark will begir
packing his household goods next weel
and soon thereafter will 60 with hi!

splendid opportunity to do something

MAKING A STILL HUNT.
The Railroads Being Watched but Moth.
ing Sure Learned

The Railroads Being Watched but Noth-
ing Sure Learned.
From evidence at hand it develops
that the Northwestern is making still
hunt west of the river at this time.
Two weeks ago crew of surveyors
were on the bottoms above Fort Pierre
some four miles, laying lines back to
the bluffs and taking elevations across
the river.
The past month or two an engineer
named Vincent, who is we'll and favor
ably known in Pierre, has been put
ting in his time making sight surveys
over that country aud picking out the
most available route for railroad. 1t
was understood he was in the employ
of the Northwestern. His work, it
seems, was only preliminary to the
crew of engineers that are now follow
ing over the routes he has selected.
Whatever the termination of it there
seems to be every Indication and in
centive for the Northwestern to get
busy with its road west. This is indi
Gated no better than by the following
extract from the Sioux City journal,
showing what that wonderfully rich
country has to offer:
"rhe Black Hills is rapidly coming
to be equal in resources to the eastern
half of the state. Over sl,00O,O00 is
now being expended on the irrigation
scheme at Belle Fourche. The gold
output of the Black Hills for this year
will be close to slO.OoO,000. There are
thousands of acres of mineral land as
yet unexplored. The cattle interests
are gigantic, the shipping interests are
gigantic, the shipping station at Belle
Fourche being the largest in the world
Every station along the railways is re-
ceiving wool for the eastern market.
The plains on all sides of the Hills are
covered with sheep, which are doubling
the money each year for their owners.
Railroads are being built in several
places into the coal and oil fields, and
there is an unlimited amount of avail
able timber and building material"
Considering all this it is not unreas.
enable to think that the Northwestern
is bestirring itself, and intends even to
beat the Milwaukee in the race the
latter road has already started to enter
the richest one hundred square miles
in the world.-Rapid City journal.
When these railroads begin to look
about for a landing place in the Hills
and good route around the Hills
they will not overlook Hot Springs
whose immense tourist trade, extens
sive stone quarries, stucco and plaster
industries, the large and valuable Full
ler's earth deposits, the business o
the State Soldiers Home and Nationa
Sanitarium, together with the grea

CAPTURE THE PENNANT
Hot Springs Base Fan Team Champions
of the Riacll Hills--Ering Home


the Flag.
The base ball team returned Sunday
evening from their last tour OF the
Hills, bringing home the flag which.
they captured at Deaawood, when they
defeated Rapid City Sunday afternoon
in a fine game of bah, In fact the pen
nant was already ven, out the series
was not completed until then. The
pennant. which is an expensive and
therefore valuable sinhlcn, may be
seen at Hargens' pharmacy. The
Lead Call gives the following account
of the game ct Deadwood:
The ball game yesterday between tho
Hot Springs and Rapid City teams at
Mcdonald park drew a large crowd,
filling the grand stand, the bleachers
and overhowing into the field. Lead
gave the game quite as heavy patron
age as did Deadwood. and the crowd
was strictly impartial and generous in
their applause.
The game was a snappy one, played
for all it was worth from start to finish.
1t was marked by clever pitching and
clean, snappy fielding. The first four
innings we're without a score on either
side; and only five hits on both sides.
The first score getting began in the
fifth inning, each team pulling down
two. In Rapids half a two Dagger and
player hit by pitcher followed by q
sacrifice and three Dagger netted two
runs; for Hot Springs, after one man
had struck out, three men got life on
bases by errors the third error field
tumble which let in two runs.
After the fifth Rapid was unable to
reach home plate. In the sixth, Hot
Springs nailed down the winning run
by base on balls, an error and a hit.
Neumeyer pitching for Hot Springs,
struck out six men, hit two batters,
and was touched up for six safe hits
including two bagger by Brockett
and three Dagger by Parry. Clark,
pitching for Rapid, showed remarkable
curves, and clever head work. He
gave three bases on balls, struck out
four men, two of them at critical times,
and allowed but five hits off his deliv-
cry; but the field work of this team fell
somewhat short of the Hot Springs
work at critical times.
The score: l23 4 8 6 Z SO

After the close of the seventh inning
the Hot Springs team was called to tn,
home plate and in behalf of the man
agement of the league, Attorney Joh1
heffron presented the pennant to then
in we'll chosen words giving the histor.
of the seasons ball playing. He spok,
regretfully of the fact that Deadwoot
and Lead having felt it necessary t,
drop out before the close of the season
paid high tribute to the quality o
ball which has been put up through
the season by the various teams, ant
stated that even before yesterday
games Hot Springs held so strong
lead as to cinch the pennant. He state,
that the race for second place between
Belle Fourche and Fort Meade WAS g
close that the game between those tw

teams being played yesterday would
decide which was entitled to it.


In the ball game at Belle Fourche
yesterday, the home team beat the Fort
Meade team by score of II to Z, thus
winning second place in the pennant
race. The Saturday game between the
two teams was hot one i'm which Belle
fonrche won by score of to only
after ten innings In the pennant race,
Hot Springs, the pennant winners,
have percentage for the season of $50,
and Belle Fourche, second place, of 600.
With the closing of the league games
the Hot Springs base ball team dis
banded. The boys have made numer-
Gus friends here who regret that the
team could not be held together longer.
Charlie LaCroix intends staying in
Hot Springs for some time yet, which
is good news to his many friends. AS
pitcher he stands without peer in
this league.
The only Joe Garvey may finish the
season with the Sheridan ball team. 1T
he does Sheridan will secure the fast
est shortstop in the northwest. Good
luck to you, Joe, old boy.
Nick Wighardt goes to Hastings,
Neb., to finish the season with that
club. Hastings can consider itself
lucky i'm services of Nick, as several of
the larger leagues are after him. We
can safely say that Nick is the fastest
catcher who ever showed up in the
Black Hills.
Genial Bill Lussi, the crack second
sacker of this league, will return to
Denver to finish the season with one of
the best teams of Colorado. It's easy
to predict his future. Keep up, old
boy, ard you will soon be up among
the big ones.
Carl Peterson, the genial third base
man, will return to the northern Hills
where he will probably assist his broth.
er in mining. Carl finished up the
season in whirlwind style. He stands
without an equal as third. sacker il
this league.
Jack Diamond will return to Omaha
