and that carload from the
Mainstay mine at Keystone is
already en- route.
Besides the furnaces, two in
number, which give at least $50
tons daily capacity, a large
amount of other machinery is
necessary. There are two big
blowers to furnish the blast,
tach with it's own engine, small
engines for elevators, crushers,
ETC., and a number of pumps.
The smelter has it's own water
supply but in addition it is con
nected with city water so that
the supply can never fail.
There is a we'll equipped lab
oratory in connection. and it is
here that most Of the work is
being done just now. Super
intendent Hall and Mr.. Reed
were both busy when the writer
called preparing standard solu-
tions and the like for the COM
ing campaign.
Mr.. Hall the superintendent,
is a Rapid City man and gradu-
ate Of the School of Mines. He
specialized in copper smelling
in school and worked under DR..
Carpenter. Then he went
through the west working in
various camps from Montana to
Arizona. He has done every
thing from wrestling copper
pigs to the most delicate labora-
tory work, and a training of
this kind added to a good tech
nical education is almost a
guarantee of success.
The Belle Fourche Post has
an interesting letter from Pres
ident Uhler, of the Northwest
ern Stock Growers Association
in answer to some correspond
ence in the Chicago Live Stock
Report. This paper, in writing
Of the stockmeeting at Belle
Fourche rather roasts the local
association and advises it to
"jcin the procession" saying
that the work of inspection as
carried out by the local associa-
ton is a practical failure.
Mr.. Uhler replies that there
has been from the outset a
strenuous opposition on the
part Of associations already in
the field against the local asso-
citation. The Wyoming associ-
alton comes in for a hard roast,
Mr.. Uhler practically accusing
it of graft. He blames the sys-
tenn that has grown up by which
cattle owners, not only about
Belle Fourche but over the en-
tire range have lost hundreds OF
heads Of cattle, and says that
J the association he represents
/; means only to enforce the Law
and stop the abuses Of the ship.

LAND FOR5Q CENTS An ACRE
Government Gener-
Gus to Commuters
on the Big Sioux
Reservation in this
State.

Homestead entries on the
Great Sioux Reservation can be
commuted on payment of so
cents an acre instead of $l.25
as in other portion of the pub
lie domain.
This is the gist of a commu-
nication which has been re-
ceived by the local land office
from the department Of the In
terror and it is important to
many persons who intend to
settle in this district.
The Great Sioux reservation
begins on the Nebraska line
and extends north on the
lO3d meridian to the intersec-
ton of the South fork Of the
Cheyenne, up the Cheyenne to
the Belle Fourche river; west
on the Belle Fourche to the 1O3d
meridian and thence north.
This land was formerly sold
by the government forthe bene-
fit Of the Sioux Indians. It's
original price as fixed by the
act Of 1889 was $1.25 per acre.
After five years it's price was
lowered to rs cents per acre, and
at the end Of five years more to
80 cents per acre. It was fur
ther provided in the act that
any land remaining unsold after
a certain lapse of time should
be bought in by the government
at peice Of SO cents per acre
and become a part Of the pub
lie domain.
ALI the conditions of the act
have been fulfilled and such
part Of the reservation as has
remained unsold has been
bought by the national govern
menu at the 0U cent price.
AS this land is a part Of the
public domain and not includ-
ed in any reserve it is Of course
open for settlement. It was at
first thought that all the rules
applying to homestead entries
would apply to this. In such
case if a homesteader wished to
commute after his Ia months of
residence he would have had to
pay $l.25 ali acre on receiving
his patent. The department.
has decided thatin this case
however the $1.25 per acre rule
does not apply, and settlers may
commute by paying only 80
cents per acre.
We presume that this decis-
ion Of the department. is based
upon the the theory that such
land having been sold for the
uniform price of so cents can
not be sold for the higher fig
Iure without injustice.

Operate.
The National Smelter, which
has been shut down now for
two years, has been repaired
and put in order and stands
ready to start smelling ore. By
the time this reaches the reader
it may be running full blast
producing thousands Of dollars
worth daily of the precious
metal for which all men in one
way or another strive and toll.
That this industry is to sue
ceed in Rapid City is due prin-
cipally to the new Crouch lines
railroad. This road by the inn
proved facilities it offers for
bringing the ore and fluxes to
the city will make success pos
sible where otherwise would be
a failure.
The company which now has
the plant is known as the Stand
ard Smelling Co. Prof. Fulton,
Of the School of Mines will be
consulting engineer for the es-
tablishment. The treatment
charges will vary from Sc to So
per ton according to the class
Of ore, and we understand that
the railroad has fixed a freight
charge of ST per ton from all
Burlington stations.
The smelter will work upon
practically the same ores as
formerly, for the present. It
is the intention of the manage
ment to treat the Jamesonite,
or lead-antimony ores, of the
Silver City and Pactola country,
at later date, but at present
there are none Of the mines suf-
fciently developed to insure a
regular supply of ore. For this
reason the ore will be drawn
from the Ruby Basin district in
the Northern Hills. The lar
gest producer Of smelling ores
there is the Golden Reward,
with the Horseshoe a close sec
ond. These two mines will
supply the bulk Of the ore with
smaller mines contributing pro-
portionally.
This ore is the refractory
quartzite which is commonly
called "blue" ore. It contains
about 20 per cent Of silica the
remainder being small percent
ages of alumina, iron and sui
pher, and traces of rare metals.
In just what form the gold is
contained is a puzzle to even
the most learned metallurgists,
but it is certain that it is not
amenable to treatment by the
usual processes Of amalgama-
ton and cyanide. For this
reason carloads Of this are go
daily to Denver and other
points where there ore smelters.
The ore will be brought in
railroad cars which will dump
on plates below the track and
above the ore bins, every 18th
shovel being put into a sample
chute. Thus from a 80 ton car
a two ton sample will be taken.
This sample goes to a Blake
crusher where it is cut in two
after crushing. From the
crusher it goes to the first rolls
where it is further crushed and
again divided. The half saved
is shovelled on plates with a
split shovel to get a sample of
200 pounds and this is crushed
throughsthe second rolls. This
sample is then squartered
down" upon the plates, a ten
pound sample being finally
made from which assays, mois-
ture content and other deter.
mlnations are made.
Sampling is one Of the most
important things about a smell
ter since all payments are made
from the assays, and it is the

Improvement League.

The Improvement League takes
up its summers work next Monday
with the hope that this will be the
most useful year it has yet had.
There is certainly something that
could be done in every ward to add
to the appearance of our city, if on
ly we catch the inspiration and set
about the work with willing hands.
Can we not have more help this
year?
We must remember that this is
not private enterprise to which we
can gain access only by special in
vitation or favor, but is open to one
and all who are willing to add their
mite in money or work to carry on
this worthy cause. Come out to
the meeting next Monday at $3.50 p.

DIR. Willis. Last Lecture
of the Course.

The lecture Of DR.. Willis Satur-
day evening closed the series in the
Course for the season. The course
the past season was patronized to
the capacity of the audience room
available, and would have been
more generally attended with ample
accommodations. On the occasion
of one of these lectures the necessi-
ty for an auditorium is made appa-
rent.
All the numbers in the course
were we'll received. We have heard
no adverse criticism. AS would be
expected some people liked some of
the entertainments better than they
liked others, while others were
most pleased with what did not so
we'll suit some others. Some people
found their chief delight in the mu-
steal numbers while others are best
suited with the lectures. The con-
certs were praised by the music low
ers; the lectures by those who find
more satisfaction in oratory and the
discussion of abstruse subjects.
The lecture of DR.. Willis is high
ly commended by all who heard it.
And had DR.. Osler, who advises
the chloroforming of old men as i'm
beetles heard this lecture, given by
a man past "a, he would have been
compelled to take it all back.
DR.. Willis can give better lecture
to-day than he could have given 40
years ago.

The Dunn Pocket Ballot.

There seems to be much adverse
criticism of the Dunn Pocket Ballot
and little in it's favor. From a study
of the ballot as explained by its au-
thor it seemed to us that it was an
improvement upon the cumbersome
and complicated Australian ballot,
but there are certain provisions in
this bill embodying this ballot, pro-
visions that it would be risky to
adopt. Our attention has been call
ed to section lo of this bill to be vot-
ed on next Tuesday. Is there a
ssnigger in the fence?" 1t will be
seen by this section that the author
Of this ballot, Moncena Dunn, will
claim the exclusive ownership of the
scheme and if the ballot is used it
must be bought of him; and in
adopting this ballot we at the same
time authorize the secretary of state
to buy this patent ballot of Moncena
Dunn, regardless of what he may
ask for it. 1t will be better to let
Mr.. Dunn pocket his old Pocket
Ballot. We don't have to have it.
The next Legislature will remove
the circle from the Australian bal
lot and that will give us chance to
vote for whom we intend to and ex-
clude those we do not wish to vote
for. g
