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
I'D 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 to 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 a ring like a
piece OF silver.

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

Cemetery.
The discovery by the United States
authorities in Sioux Falls of counter
letters 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 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 ons the molds, and has not hes
itated to talk, even with officers Of the
law, as to his experiences in this re-
gard.
The counterfeiters den was located
III the shelter of clump of bushes in
the old cemetery and was cutie well
of q fa IT, roI
spurious coins were found in the den,
but the authorities captured COM
plete outfit of dies. molds and other
implements and material. The capture
OF the dies and molds indicates that
Clark was confederate of a 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 We're made of pewter and
given a silvery finish by being dipped
in quicksilver. While fresh from the
4diHhol'ei tiiSy dle Soou couillellcllS
and during a rush of business would
be readily taken.
The dies and molds captured in the
counterfeters' 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 1Ilanufac-
ture the spurious coin, while Sharp,
and perhaps other confederates, took
care of the matter of getting the coun-
terfet money into circulation.

HEALTHY GROWTH.
All South Dakota Crops Are poino

All South Dakota Crops Are pojno

The following is the weekly cron ra.

The temperature during the week
averaged higher than usual, and the
last three days We're quite warm. The
conditions were favorable for nro.

There were scattered but mostly light
showers, and fair weather predominant
ed. The soil was already amply moist
however, from preceding rains. In
several counties there was some local
damage from hail.
Wheat continues in healthy condi-
ton, is looking we'll, and made very
good progress. Oats, barley, spring
rye and spelt made healthy and very
good growth. While there is still COM
plant of some scattered fields of wheat
and oats being thin and weedy it is
less than in last weeks reports, and
on the whole the outlook for all small
grains is very gratifying, though they
are little less advanced than usual.
Winter rye and winter wheat are
thrifty. Winter rye is beginning to
head, also some winter wheat.
Corn planting, except some neces-
sary replanting due to poor seed, is
practically completed The earlier
planted corn is generally up, with
mostly good stand indicated. and the
late planted is coming mp favorably,
but there is some local complaint of
cutworms being troublesome. Consd-
cradle early corn is being cultivated.
Grass is making rapid growth, pas
turage is good, the outlook for hay
has improved, and live stock is doing
very well.
The sowing of flax and millet was
very favorably advanced, and on the
whole the growing portions of these
crops did we'll
Potatoes and garden stuff made very
good progress, and potato planting is
aear completion.
The outlook for early fruits is fairly
good. There is some complaint of the
outlook for apples, where grown, not
being generally promising.

Some months ago President Nichol

had concluded 10 make a donation
He offered an entire block of land in
pagney. formerly known as Puerto
Principi. 1t is a city Of 10000 inhab
itants, and the land is now worth per-

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

cAsTLEWooD's NEW SCHOOL.
Plans Are Drawn and Bids Will Be
Opened June 27.

Opened June 27.
In accordance with the result Of a
recent special election at Castlewood,
when bonds in the sum Of s11 900 We're
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
tons for the new building. Bids for
the erection of the new school building
will be opened on June 81, and it is ex-
pected the contract will be awarded
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 900 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 new school building for
several years, and will now have one
of the finest structures Of the kind in
this part of the state.

Faukton 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
Faullton, that city has had the great
est difficulty in securing good arte-
sian wells. Recently such well 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 Faulllton,
only enc of which has had a good flow.
The wells in the aggregate have cost
great many thousands of dollars.
The failure 10 strike good flows in all
the wells sunk at this place is stated
to be due to the fact that, unlike 9th
sr portions of the state, the water
bearing rock which forms the famous
artesian basin Of South Dakota is Of a
very poor quality Immediately under
Faulkton. The rock at this point Is
CAScSuiNSlS udlu? LlolC SoihPoNt nhN
less porous than even in the near vi
entity of the town. Artesian well drill
drillers have been compelled to go to
the great depth Of from 1900 to 1,4OO
feet at this point, and at that depth
experience considerable difficulty in
penetrating the rock owing to its I'M
usual hardness. At no other point in
the state are the same conditions
found as at Faulkton.
