OUTPUT OF COLD IN THE BLACK HILLS.
Total for the Year Amounts About s8oooo Which Is Slight
Increase Over Last Yeor

'When the Imperial company pur-
Portland in the Bald mountain dis
trlct it began a new era of success.
Lying west of the Homestake belt is
small district set off by itself which
has not come to the attention OF the
mining people in the Hills very much,
is called by some the phonolite dis
trict. There are several strong COM
panies holding properties in this belt,
such rs the Globe, PENNSYLVANIA, Big
q, an / Gladiator, all of which have
done good, substantial development
work. The Globe company has
shaft 500 feet deep and 5000 feet of
under rcund workings, which have
disclosed a large amount of high
grade ore. The other companies are
planning to do more work this COM
ing year and some of them will build
mills.
Central and Southern Sections.
The Central and Southern Black
Hills have been behind Lawrence
county in actual ore production There
are great many well-developed mines
in both Pennington and Custer coun-
ties. but for some reason in the past
they have not been steady producers
During the year there have been more
mines in operation and doing some
thing than in any previous year. At
10 Gc1l
James Cochran mills were in opera
ton during thesummer season and
both mines produced heavily. At
Hill City the Clara Bell mine worked
Tremain mill part of the year on
very high grade free milling ore.
Along Rapid river l.. A. Richards kept
several hydraulic outfits in operation
during the placer season, working
over some very rich beds and the
clean-ups amounted to quite large
sum. He is preparing to work more
extensively next season.
The old keystone camp has been
active and before another twelve
months passes there will be half a
dozen mills in operation within a ra-
dius of five miles of the city Money
has been raised by the Keystone Holy
Terror company, recently reorganized,
for the resumption Of work in both
the old mines. The Bullion Mining
company is eXcavating for large mill
on a property adjoining the keystone
mine, and the Lucky Boy company.
across the gulch from the keystone,
has put a shaft down following a
strong vein of ore which has opened
up one of the biggest things in the
keystone district.
Great progress is noted throughout
the Black Hills and future possibilities
look exceedingly bright.

MORAL TRAINING.
Suggestions Of State Superintendent
Meet With Favor.

State Superintendent of Instruction
Ramer Is highly encouraged over the
reception of his plans for moral train
ing in the state schools by the State
Educational association at Brookings
at the recent session. In his annual
address as president of the associa-
ton Prof. Kramer advanced the fol-
lowing proposition: That moral STAN
ina is not assured by intellectual
power, and that the present day child
Is In great danger of becoming moral
ly insensible; that every institution Of
learning must look after the moral
training of it's students; that the aver
age person is moral only in conse-
quence Of religious sentiment; that
Christianity is the only religion that
ever exercised restraining influence
on the morals of it's adherents; that
the Bible is the basis of Christianity
and therefore its authority-not nee
essarily the book itself-must be rec
ognized in institutions of learning;
failure to plan for effective moral and
ethical training is sure to lead to the
death of high ideals and finally to the
destruction of American institutions:
that the United States is a Christian
nation, and failure to recognize the
authority of the nations great basal
book is unamerican and unpatriotic
President Nash of Aberdeen takes the
ground that it is the mission of nor
mai schools to turn out teachers who
can give moral training to their pupils
Bishop O'Gorman of Sioux Falls, in
paper read by Father Hogan of De
Christian nation whose very founda-
lions were laid in Christian senti-
ment. He pleads for more definite at
tention to moral and religious train
Ing In our schools. Prof. Smith of
the state university at Vermillion
takes the ground that when a uni
versity gets to the place where it can
not turn out a stream Of pure men and
women graduates 1t should close it's
doors. He thinks that the spirit Of
the Sermon on the Mount should per-
wade the education Of students every
wrere. Prof. Ramer has been in
structed by the educational associa-
ton to appoint committee Of fifteen
to definitely work out a plan of moral
training. Prof. Kramer states this
committee will be of all denomina-
tions and will be appointed soon.

SCHIfF SEES PANIC AHEAD
UNLESS SOMETHING is DONE TO
MAKE CURRENCY MORE
ELASTIC.

New York, Jan. 6.-Unless there is
currency reform, a panic beside which
former panics will seem insignificant
was predicted by Jacob H. Schiff,
head of the banking firm of Kuhn,
Loeb & Co., in a speech yesterday be-
fore the New York chamber of COM
merce. Mr.. Schiff said he did not re-
gard such a panic as imminent, but
he believed it will come unless some
thing is done to remedy the lack of
elasticity of the present currency sys-
TEN. He declared that he did not
favor the plan proposed by Secretary
of the Treasury Shaw for relief of the
situation, it being his opinion that the
secretarys plan
Would Aid Speculation
rather than legitimate business. Mr..
Schiff favored currency based on
commercial paper as more helpful to
the general business interests of the
country.
The speech created a sensation in
financial circles and caused a sharp
break in prices on the stock exchange.
The meeting of the chamber was at
tended by large number of business
men and financiers and a resolution
on the subject offered by Mr.. Schiff
was unanimously adopted.
Supplements His Speech.
After the close of the market Mr..
Schff made this supplementary state
ment:
My remarks were dictated simply
by the conviction that something must
be done to correct our inelastic cur
rency system If we are not to run in
time into great disaster. We are try
ing to play the role of giants while
still in our swaddling clothes.
IF the president could be made to
see that this is a question of vastly
more Importance to the material in
terests of the country than that OF
railroad rate regulation, to which he
has devoted himself with such admira-
BILE energy, congress would soon set
at work to remedy our circulation evil
in a manner which would safeguard
our prosperity"

COUNTY WINS IMPORTANT SUIT.

One of the most important decisions
of the supreme court in recent years
has just been handed down. 1t re-
lates to the taxation of moneys and
credits. The higher authority re-
verses the decision of Judge Smith,
which was to the effect that the board
of county commissioners had no right
to assess certain moneys and credits
owned by residents of Clay county.
This decision will mean that the city
of Vermillion alone will secure about
S1,1O0 Of taxes for 1904. 1t has more
than local significance, for it will
affect nearly every town, city and
county in the state. In the year 1904
there was general movement to as
sess mortgages and moneys, but the
proposition met with stubborn resist
ance.
AS test case G. T. Salmer, a
wealthy citizen of Vermillion, went
into court with his trouble. He was
represented by Dean Thomas Sterling
of the state university law depart
ment, and the county board employed
Attorney H. G. Tilton of Vermillion
and Attorney c. III. Dillon of Yankton
for counsel. Arguments were heard
before Judge r. G. Smith in Vermil-
lion during term of circuit court.
The contention of counsel for Mr..
Salmer was that under the present
law it was unconstitutional for the
board to make any assessment of this
nature, since no return had been made
by the various township assessors.
The boards attorneys argued that if
the present law We're unconstitutional.
then the old law was in force, and If
the old law could not be used, then
the court was in position to do the
assessing itself. Judge Smith held
that the board was in error, where
upon the commissioners appealed to
the supreme court.
Many Of the citizens who will be
obliged to pay taxes on mortgages for
the year. 1904 will not be caught nan
ping again. There has been a general.
assignment of mortgages since the
question arose, and when the time for
the next assessment arrives it will be
found that most of the mortgages are
owned by by Iowa and Nebraska peo-
pie.

REWARD 700 SMALL.
Fugitive Finds Difficulty in Getting
Arrested at Rierre.

Several weeks ago Sheriff Logan of
Hughes county was approached by an
individual who said he had escaped
from custody in Kansas City and de-
sired to return to face the charge
against him, and wanted the sheriff
to take him in charge and return him
to the Missouri authorities for the re-
ward. The Missouri authorities were
notified and replied that the man was
wanted all right and that a reward OF
$50 was out for his return After fig
uring out the cost of two tickets to
Kansas City and a return trip for one,
Sheriff Logan decided that he was
not looking for any such snap and
told the Missouri people to come on
and he would show them their man
They evidently figured the same way,
and after the man had loafed around
Pierre several days in his attempt to
brea k into Jail, he vanished as he
had come, no one apparently knowing
from where or to where. He is sup
posed to have made his way to some
point where an officer could figure
with his expenses on $50 deal be-
fore he found any one willing to pay
his fare back to Missouri.

TOWNSHIPS IN AoMEsr1Aos.
South Dakota Reports Many Settlers
In 1so5-Banking Business Shows
Remarkable Growth,

Over nine townships of land in the
Pierre district were taken by home
steaders in 1905. OF this over six
townships We're taken in the last four
months of the year, since the extern
sion Of the Northwestern road has be-
come certainty The total number
of homestead filings for the year were
1869, of which S63 were in the
months of September, October, No
vember and December. These filings
took up an acreage of 203,040.
Besides the homesteads, there was
a township or more taken up in state
filings and declarations for the year.
This record promises to be distanced
long way in this year, as the in
quiries for homestead lands are COM
ing from practically every state in
the Union, and as soon as spring
opens people will be coming to the
western part of the state by train
loads.
The construction of three lines of
railway across the western part of the
state being assured for the year, and
indications pointing to still further
railway development, is going to bring
an awakening after twenty-five years
of waiting which will go long way
toward pushing South Dakota farther
to the front, and continue to keep it in
the list of states as the one which pro-
duces more wealth per capita than
any other in the Union.
Patents Are Popular.
The state land department has also
been doing something in the way of
bringing state lands under private
ownership. In the last year patents
have been granted to 379 purchasers
of state lands who have made full pay
ments, and before the end of this
month many more patents will have
been sent out.
The largest number of such patents
are called for about the end Of the
old and the beginning of the new
year. In January last III purchasers
of state lands called in their contracts
and secured patents, and in December
70 patents were sent out. In all these
cases the purchaser is compelled to
pay a full years interest in advance
for the privilege of taking up his
contract, but the prosperity Of South
Dakota farmers for the past few years
has been such that they prefer to do
this and stop the interest charge, as
they are in position to loan rather
than borrow money.
Another evidence of state prosper
ity is found in the number of new
banks which are being organized I'M
der the state banking law. The rec
ords Of the Office of secretary of state
show that forty-three such banks were
organized for the year, the largest
number being organized in December,
when seven were authorized to trans
act business.
These banks were we'll scattered
over the state, the only specially ia
vored section being west of the river,
where new towns have sprung up
along railroad extensions. On ac-
count of such work the coming year
promises to see large extension of
banking facilities for the whole of the
western part of the state.

New York, Jan. 6. - A verdict for
s5,2SO.33333 against Edward e. Harper,

National Bank of Cincinnati, was at
firmed yesterday by Judge Coke in
the United States circuit court Eigh-
teen years ago Harper was convicted

The great value Of small artesian
wells to farmers in the district east
of the Missouri river is shown by the
practical use to which such we'll is
put by II T. Zimmerman, a Miner
county farmer. Zimmerman is the
owner of $50 acres of land upon which
is an artesiap we'll which has a flow
of ei2hty-four gallons per minute. The
surplus water from it has formed a
lake covering about five acres and the
lake is filed with fish With power

DEMAND FOR HoMEsTEAps.
Land Spectators Give Way Befor,
Advance of Settlera

Advance Of Settlers.
The past twelve months were busy
months for Huron real estate declers
and the year closes with smile of
satisfaction, indicating fat bank ac-
counts. II land men in other sections
Of the state have been correspond
ingly successful the volume of bust
ness transacted is beyond computa-
ton except by estimate, and no one
would dare present figures for serious
consideration.
A very large per cent Of the lands
transferred are now owned by actual
settlers, or those who will make
homes in this section of the state the
approaching season. During the past
three years much of the land held by
Eastern spectators has passed out
of their control, and If the coming
year is characterized by as large i'm
migration as the year just closed what
is known as Speculative land" will
be quite out of market. A drive into
the country in any direction from
Huron will attest the truth of this
statement.
New houses, barns, stock sheds and
other improvements indicate the pur-
pose of the new settlers to remain on
their lands and make homes for them
selves and families.
Splendid crops have been grown
and scores of farmers who few years
ago were Gin pinched quarters" now
have bank accounts and are free from
debt.
A banker, well posted, said that he
could name score of men, without
reference to his books, who a few
credit. now have credit for almost
any amount they might name, and are
loaning money at per cent; when
they borrowed they paid from 10 to II
per cent.
All over the county the small shack,
house has been superseded by large
and commodious modern houses, and
artesian wells are fast taking the
place of the bucket and chain and the
windmill. Instead of coming to town
in the heavy road wagon, farmers of
to-day ride in buggies and carriages.
Prosperity is seen and enjoyed ev-
erywhere, and more contented peo-
pie would be hard to find than those
to be met daily in this part of South
Dakota.
Business at the United States land
Office was exceptionally good during
the year, and much government land
was entered under the homestead
laws. A goodly number Of people
from Huron and immediate vicinity
went little farther west or north and
took up homesteads: they were most
ly young people full of pioneer push
and energy.
These lands entered were largely in
Hyde county-some were in Sully
and few hundred acres in Hand
county.
Except in the southern part Of Hyde
county, where there is yet about 90
900 acres, land within the Huron land
district is quite scarce.
A few manifestations remain in
Sphinx county, and in Faux and Hand
counties, but next to Hyde county the
bulk of the land is in Sully county.
