Gong After water Again.

After fifteen years Of slumber the arte-

there was stir few years ago and it
looked as though the government was
going to put the well down to the arte-

gresham Martin the chief engineers Of
the geological department were ordered
here to make thorough examination
of the we'll now down 500 feet and the
surrounding country, aod report on the
same. Nearly one summer was spent
by Prof Darton and his men in making
their geological surveys. A careful ex-
animation was made of the well by both
Mr.. Darton and the chief engineer, Mr..
Newell, and as result of their labors
they recommended that this well and
three others in different portions of the
state west of the Missouri River be put
down as test wells. Onthis recommend
alton the department ordered the wells
down. Legal transfers were made de-
manded by the government and deeds
delivered All at once Secretary Hitch

A Year of Promise.

The year 1906, says the Black Hills

the most prosperous in the history OF
the Black Hills. All those little indica

new gold mills put in commission this
year. Several others are to go in COM

are to be organized. Mining is going to
be active. For the mining districts of
the Hills the outlook is particularly
bright.
Especially is this true of the Southern
Hills, where the activity is pronounced.
energetic and productive of good results
In that section there is more real mining
being carried on than for number of
years past, and the well informed of that
section are anticipating even greater
achievements during the coming sum.

The agricultural section tributary to
the Hills is going to witness great
changes. The construction of three lines
of railroad through virgin district east
and north of US is bound to be fraught
with beneficial results. The cultivation
of these lands will directly benefit the
mining section by furnishing cheaper
provisions, while the commercial inter,
ests of the district will derive new busi-
aess.

w hich Machine.

The Aberdeen News is an ultraradical
organization paper but a truer state
ment never was made than the follow
ing: The republican voters Of South
Dakota are called upon to choose be-
tween two machines. That the insur-
gents have machine, and that the in
surgent machine eXacts strict loyalty
from its followers is evidenced by the
proposition made TO Senator Lightner
to become a member of that machine
provided he would pledge himself to
support all the other members oft even
to Crawford, who has repeatedly Viii
fed and abused the state senate Of
South Dakota of which Lightner is a
member.
1t is not question, therefore, OF ma
chine and anti.machiae. but of which
machine. viii the Republicans of
South Dakota choose the present state
organization, TO which be'ong such men
as Elrod, Kittredge, McDougail, Burke,

Next to the last stage In the railroad
rate drama has been reached. The Sen
ate is about to vote on the as yet un-
amended Hepburn bill. Events have
moved so rapidly that it is hard now TO
realize that railroad rate legislation
shortly before tie session began was de-
clared an impossibiity. 1t was said
then that it would be a queer spectacle
if the Executive dominated the coming
congress to the point Of forcing rate con-
sideration. That happened. Then came
the rumors of compromise and it was
said that first this and then that pro-
vision for the benefit of the railroads
had met with the approval of the White
House. As the case stands up TO daee,
the President has not expressed his ap
proval of a single bill that has been Ia
troduced, and the Hepburn bill has
come to be regarded as an admlnistra-
ton measure simply because it has been
allowed TO 90 thus far without oPposl'
ton from the Executive Mansion
