MIST is MYSTERY.
Phenomenon Is Said to BE Sign of
Earthquake.

Phenomenon Is Said to BE Sign of
Earthquake.
Word has been brought from Piolo
Creek of an unusual happening at a
porphyry dixie ON the southern spur
of Sheep mountain. At different times
men working near the dixie have OBJ
served a mist or vapor rising from it.
This would last about an hour and
then would pass away without leaving
any trace. Various causes have been
given for this phenomenon.
One observer has noted that the va
por rises just before an earthquake
In one case it was noted before the
severe earthquake in Italy, and again
prior to an earthquake which did
some damage on the Isthmus of Pan
anna
The explanation most generally ac-
cepted is that the mountain overlies
q cave similar to the Wind cave near
Hot Springs, and that when certain
atmospheric conditions obtain the
wind rushes up from the cave through
cracks near the dixie.

An analysis OF the divorce record of
South Dakota for the first six months
Of the operation of the vital statistics
bureau shows that Sioux Falls is far
in the lead of any other point in the
state, more than one-third of the de-

circuit. A total of 217 couples sought
separation in that time, and out Of
that number 1877 came from outside
states to this state for divorce pur-
poses.
The causes advanced for securing
relief from matrimonial troubles
showed desertion to be in the lead,
with 101 cases. Among the causes
were 80 divorces on the grounds Of
non-support, 80 for cruelty, IA for in
temperance and for neglect. Twelve
cases were heard and granted in
which the reason given has not been
reported.

at the front OF the house was badly
wrecked, but as the dynamite had

BENEFIT OF MINING INTEREST
Mining Experimental Stations to 5e
tablished.

Mining Experimental Stations to he
tabIlshed.
Mining men of Deadwood are advo-
eating certain changes in the bill for
mining experimental stations which
has been favorably reported upon by
the committee on mines and mining.
This bill, as introduced by Represen.
tatice Martin, authorizes the secretary
Of commerce and labor to establish at
his discretion, in each of the states,
mining experimental station. He
also to appoint at each station an ex-
pert geologist- He is authorized to
spend sum not to exceed $4,000 In
establishing, equipping and maintain
ing each of the stations created 1t
10 the duty Of this geologist and chem
list TO analyze, for any citizen of the
United States at a nominal charge
samples of all mineral-bearing sub
stances and to determine the exact
amount of mineral in the sample,
They are also required to make clas-
SAhSdtAOn vi assays bl CclapAC9 va tOShB
cement, clay, etc. The geologist is
also expected to explore and examine
the mineral regions within his juris-
Adiction.
Mining men have advanced the be-
lief that such an Office would be over
loaded with the work of assaying
rock, much OF which has no special
value, as enthusiastic prospectors
would take up the larger part of the
time of such officials. The change
suggested by men familiar with con-
ditions is that one of two high class
chemists be employed to work in con-
nection with the mills with a view to
ascertaining methods by which
larger percentage OF the ore values
could be saved. At present but few
companies save more than rs per
cent of the assay value of their ore,
through the Homestake, when its new
shines plant is completed, will save
practically all the gold. 1t is esti-
mated that nearly $1.000,000 is car.
ried off annually from the tailings OF
the cyanide plants of the Black Hills
alone, and that if some method could
be discovered by which these values
could be saved it would mean much
not only to the mining district itself,
but to the country in general.

Show Falling OFF.
Washburn, Wis, Feb, 81. 49, The
warm weather of the last week in this
section of the country has had bad
effect on logging companies operating
in the woods, and the roads are be-
coming in such a condition that opera
tons for this winter will have to be
suspended unless colder weather sets
in soon. The companies thus far have
had successful season in the woods
and much timber has been cut, but if
operations have to cease now 1t will
put big hole in the amounts that
were to have been logged and likely
will shorten the cuts of number of
mills that are supplied by the several
loggeFs. The snow is melting rapidly
and large streams of water are flow
ing everywhere.
