New Saw Mill at Pringle.

Thomas p. Mullen, who sold his liv-
cry business at O'Neill, Nebraska, and
came back to the Black Hills again some
three or four weeks ago, left for O'Neil
Wednesday evening to settle up his
business affairs there, intending to re-
turn here again in about week. In
conversation with Mr. Mullen we were
informed that he has bought tract of
good pine timber near Pringle, and in
tends putting in a saw mill and lumber
yard at that place. The machinery, in
Guiding planer, etc, has already been
ordered and is expected to arrive within
few days. He has already secured one
large order for 100000 feet of lumber to
be cut and ready for delivery within the
next three or four months, besides other
smaller ones. The Hustler hopes and
believes he will make a success of his
new business venture. Mr. Mullen mar
ried Miss Edith Hoy, a sister, Mrs T. l..
Monaghan and Miss Bertha Hoy, of this
place also of T. G. Hoy at Keystone,
and Wm, Hoy and Mrs. Jack Mallon Of
Custer. He is by no means a stranger
in our county, as he formerly resided in
the Hills for about nine years, most OF
which time was spent in Custer City,
where he still has many friends who
will doubtless be pleased to welcome
him back as permanent resident and
business man of the county.-Hustler.

Important Decision.

The Secretary of the Interior recently
handed down a decision of importance
to locators of lode mining claims in the
case of the State of South Dakota VS..
Thomas w. Delicate, Trustee, in the ap-
plication for a patent of the Atlantic
lode claim near Keystone. A portion
of the superficial areG of the lode claim
extended somewhat upon the school
section. No mineral had been disclosed
or work done upon the conflicting area.
The State contended that in the absence
of mineral the state could not be de-
prived of the land, hence the contest.
The decision is to the effect that the
owner of valid lode mining claim is
entitled to all the surface within its
boundaries, regardless of the mineral or
non mineral character of the area in
conflict. The Secretary holds that prior
to the law of 1872 the locator held the
vein by his act of location, but under
the act of 1872 the location of tract OF
land limited in area to 1900 by 600 feet
within which is disclosed the top OF
apex of lode.
Ed Il. Grantham represented the
trustee in the case, and patent will now
issue for the benefit of Henry Robinson
and his associates for the property, they
being represented by the Trustee.

To Detect Estrays

Now that the marketing of range cat
tie has begun, the Northwestern Stock
growers association has taken up new
plan for the detection of estrays in reg
ular shipments. William Moses and
James Davis haye been appointed de-
tectiyes to search all shipments between
and including Rapid City and Belle
Fourche, and the shipper will have to
give satisfactory reason for his evident
intent to market other brands than his
own. A watcher will also be placed at
Eyarts and it is thought that this plan
will be more satisfactory than the old
one of endeavoring to catch the estrays
at the market stockyards.

Getting a Move or.

Oscar Silver has had his goods boxed
up for some time, and has been waiting
for cars into which to load them. The
cars have arrived and this morning Os-
car his clerks and gang of laborers
and teamsters were busy transferring
them from the building on Main street
to the freight cars. AS soon as loaded
the goods will be taken to Moscow,
Idaho, and added 20 the stock which Os
car has already sent to that place from
recent purchases in the east. When he
opens in the Idaho town he will have
in stock one of the largest assortments
of dry goods and clothing in the west.
When the train starts out from Lead
with the goods of Mr. Silver, it will be
quite a large one. Mr.. Silver, so soon as
the last consignment has been shipped
will leave Lead for his new home in the
west, and see personally 10 the opening
of the new store. He still has large
property interests in the Black Hills, so
be will not be stranger in these parts
after his removal. Oscar, who was one
Of the pioneer business men Of Custer
City, and one of its earliest settlers, still
has large real estate holdings there which
he believes will some day be worth
looking after, for he has kept his taxes
paid up on the lots ever since 1876

A Change Coming.

Argus Leader: The Omaha Bee fell
citates the Nebraska metropolis on its
Black Hills trade in the following:
''The Commercial Club is about to set
out on another trade excursion, headed
this time for the Black Hills. The Black
Hills country has always looked upon
Omaha as its base Of supplies and its
friendship and favor should not be neg.
lecied The Black Hills trade excur.
sion is sure to produce results"
The Bee may be excused for making
hay while the sun shines. With three
lines of railroad crossing the Missouri
river running to the Black Hills, the long
divorce between the eastern and western
parts of the state will soon be annulled
Connections will be made which will
place Sioux Falls as close to the Hills as
Omaha and the latter place will not have
the same monopoly on the Black Hills
business that it has now.
Black Hills merchants have no fault
to find with the Omaha iobbers who
have always given them square deal
but as competition is the life of trade, oil
something Of that sort, Sioux Falls and
Mitchell will be welcomed among the

lection of the bark and exposed to the
weather. the larvae soon die. The
change from the larvae to the full grown
beetle takes place in June and July and
seems to be assisted by the heat of the
san on the bark of the trees. Very Of
ten the timber strippers find that on the
southern side of the trees more exposed
to the sun, the larvae have developed
into bugs, while those on the northern
side are still in the larvae state.
Besides this method of warfare the
bounty on squirrel tails still stands, a
box of % calibre cartridges for every ten
tails delivered to any ranger Lately
the interest in this seems to be tagging
among the Black Hills boys and very
few tails have been brought in 1t is
likely however that when the hunting
season begins, there will be resumption
Of activity on the part of the juvenile

Proposed Amendments

Four constitutional amendments are
to be voted upon at the next general
election to be held in November of this
year.
The first Of these amendments relates
to the office of superintendent of schools.
At present any person may be elected
uperintendent, who can muster the
necessary votes, regardless of his quail
tications for the position, and the legis-
lature is powerless to alter the situation
without an express constitutional provi-
sion. The amendment in question adds
to the provision Of the constitution
which prescribes the qualifications of
public officers, this proviso: provided
further that the legislature shall have
authority to prescribe further qualifica-
tions for superintendent of schools 1t
seems reasonable that the superintend-
ent should possess a certain amount of
learning.
The rext amendment proposed auth
orizes the legislature 10 provide for mum
icipal courts in cities having more than
five thousand population. At present
only a police magistrate is permitted, but
a regular municipal court possessing
larger powers than justices of the peace
possess, is deemed des rable. The real
significance of the amendment appears
to be to give the municipal court exclu-
sive jurisdiction of all justice business
arising in the towns, thus cutting out
the county justices. There may be some
question of the prudence of this propo-
sition.
The third amendment submitted re-
lates to the drainage of agricultural
lands. 1t seeks to establish the principle
that such drains are for a public pur-
pose, and hence that land may be con.
demned for drainage purposes, and the
costs Of the improvement assessed against
property benefited There are consid.
erable sections of the state where the
matter Of drainage is of vital import
ance, and it seems fitting and necessary
that the public should have charge of
the subject.
Finally the legislature saw fit to sub
NIT to the people the question ofprovid.
ing a special fund for the establishment
and operation of twine plant at the
state penitentiary. It is estimated that
a revolving fund Of two hundred thous-
and dollars will be needed to handle
the business, and the amendment pro-
poses that the next legislature be au-
thorized to levy a tax of not to exceed
one and one half mills for the purpose
Of establishing such revolving fund.
The success of the Minnesota and Kan
sas twine plants, and the popularity of
the enterprise with the farmers, who
will be the chief consumers of the pro.
duet, assures the adoption of the amend
ment. Upon the basis of this years as
sessment, the levy will produce about
S325,000, so that il is probable that levy
of one mill will be found sufficient for
the required revenue.
To summarize then, it appears that
three Of the amendments are proper and
necessary and should prevail, while the
fourth, relating to the establishment Of
municipal courts, should be carefully
considered before passing upon its adj
visibility. Pierre Dakotan.

Warfare on the Bark Beetle Continues.

Warfare on the Bark Beetle Continues.
Quietly but persistently, the warfare
on the bark beetle with which great por-
tions of the timber in the forest reserve
are affected, is being carried on by the
rangers all over the reserve.
The full grown beetle emerges from
the bark of the pines during the warm
days of June and July and Immediately
proceeds to infest the neighboring trees
by LAYING afresh eggs in the bark. The
succeeding spring these become larvae
and it is during this period while they
are in the larvae stage that the rangers
cut down the affected trees and strip the
bark from them. Deprived Of the pro-

GER1IE.


After running small experimental
plant several months and thoroughly
| demonstrating the values ofthe ores and
| the proper method for their treatment,
| the Gertie company is now installing a
mill that will be complete and up.to-
date in every particular. The new plant
will occupy the building constructed to
house the old one. This building was
erected to be available in just such an
emergency as the present. 1t is thirty
by one hundred feet, and will easily hold
the machinery.
The ore as it comes from the mine in
skips will dump into bin above Stur-
tevant roll jaw crusber that will reduce
it to pass ope-half inch ring. This
product will be further crushed to 20 or
80 mesh in two sets of new, special pat
tern Sturtevant rolls, the sands concen-
trated on three Whitley tables, and the
shines handled by a new model machine
that is said to be first class.
The plant as outlined will have ca
pacity of fifty tons day, and it is pro-
posed at some future time to arrange for
regrnding the middlings from the vii.
feys (crushing primarily to 10 or II
mesh and bring the capacity of the mill
up to 20 to so tons per day.
] The ore handled last winter produced
good grade of concentrates that were
smelted and refined by "poling" with a
green stick, giving a grade of tin that
finds ready market. 1t was remarkably
free from impurities. Four different an
alyses showed from 9939 per cent to
| 90 90 per cent. tin in the smelter pro-
duct, and the Burlington railway took
the entire lot, paying 45f centspe pound,

uses immense quantities of tin in max
ing babbit metal, and told sthe manage

that could be produced with seventy

NORTH PI.ATTE-Nearly thirty miles OF
the new Union Pacific railroad up the fer
tile valley of the North Platte river has
been constructed. The North Platte river
has been bridged and crossed by the new
track, and now two crews OF trains are
working on the new road to Northport.
The steel Is being laid at the rate of a
mile day. and the rate at which the
work is progressing bids fair TO compile
ton of the route by the middle or end Of
September. The station sidetracks are be-
ing laid as the road is built, as Is also
the telegraph lines and the section houses.
As the road further advances greater and
more numerous come the reports Of the
richness and fertility and beauty OF the
North Platte river valley as the same eN-
tends from Hershey on out to the state
line. The sentiment prevails that tho
Union Pacific Railroad company does not
Intend to end the route at Northport, but
will undoubtedly build on to Medicine Bow,
and thus cut short their transcontinental
line by about forty miles and have a much
better and easier grade
