The run of grass cattle has been fairly
liberal, the past week, in fact, the sup
ply has held up remarkably well for this
season of the year. The trade for the
most part has been in fair shape, consid-
ering the number of cattle on sale. Most
of the decline during the past week vas

grades and the short-fed and warmed up

"Uncle Josh SprucebY !"

The most beautiful story of American
life told on the stage will be presented
at the opera house Friday evening, De-
cember 2Stb. The famous play of "Un-
cls Josh Spruceby" is story of New
England farm life full of fun that keeps
the audience in merry mood through
the four acts, and with vein of pathos
that will cause tear or two to trickle
down the cheek. The scene is laid in
Vermont and some o. the characters are
taken from the life and daily habits of
the people the author met there. The
company presenting the play this season
is an efficient one. and in addition to
considerable special scenery, first class
orchestra fills al important part.

Globe Mine Sold.

Capt. G.. A. Haserodt came in from the
Penobscot camp on Wednesday and from
him we CLEAN the information that the
Globe group of mines, situated about
eight miles northwest of Custer have
been sold. The transfer was made to
Mr.. A. Cornell Of Elkton, Michigan, but
it is presumed that other stockholders of
the Saginaw participated with him in
the deal. There are ten claims in the
group. The purchase price was $4,000,
10 per cent was paid in cash and the
balance to be paid in one year
The Globe has long been reckoned as
one of the best properties in the Penob-
scot mining district, and the price paid
is considered very low. The veins run
ming through these claims are presumed
to be the direct extension of the Sagi-
nav belt and the openings most all show
excellent veins of quartz, which by pro
per test show up rich in gold.
The ores of this camp, while they
yield considerable free gold by the pan
and mortar test, contain some bismuth
and tellurium, and must be carefully
treated to obtain the full measure of the
gold in the rock. This is now under
stood and we may confidently look for
ward to rich yield of the precious
metal from the Globe, and we congratu-
late the new owners on the acquisition
of so excellent mine.
The former owners Of the property
were Mr.. Chas. Harbach and Capt. c. A
Haserodt of Custer, the latter of whom
is accredited with being the chief pro-
motef of the deal.

LEGISLATION OF INTEREST
To the People of the Western Part OF
South Dakota.


South Dakota.
At the coming session of the state leg
isIature which is to convene in Pierre
January Sth a number of measures of
much local importance will be present
ed, says the Belle Fourche Bee. Per-
haps those of the most importance will
be the appropriation for carrying out
the provisions of the state irrigation
code, the fence law, wolf bounty, pro-
posed scheme to take the state school
lands off the market for period of ten
years more, appropriation for the Spear
fish normal and the School of Mines at
Rapid City, and new game laws.
STATE IRRIGATION CODE.
The state irrigation code passed at the
last session of the state legislature carri-
ed only an appropriation of $1,000 for
the ensuing two years of which sum $500
was to be used for stream measurements
in case Of suits. The balance was for the
general expenses of the state engineer,
his assistants and the three water com
missioners. OF the appropriation of
1905 the sum of S., ,46S was expended as
follows: State engineer, salary and ex-
penses, $l,S66.25; w. S. Hamilton, wa
ter commissioner first district, per diem
and travelling expenses, $500; S. +.
Wilson, water commissioner, second dis
trict, yer diem and travelling expenses,
So4O5; printing, stationery, etc, $20.50;
postage, $40. Fees were received by the
state engineer as follows: Filing appli
cations and recording permits to appro
pirate water 5000. All fees received
are paid into the state general fund.
As the sum appropriated for the sal.
aries and expenses authorized by the
law leaves only balance of $500 year
after the payment of the state engineer
it is apparent that this appropriation
must be increased if the provisions of
the irrigation code are to be carried into
effect Butte county has more water
rights for irrigation purposes than any
other county in the state. Many of them
are conflicting rights and the sooner
they are adjusted and determined the
less cost it will be to the state and the
owners of the different water rights. At
least $4,000 year is needed for the
next two years to carry the irrigation
code into effect.

The estimated cost of the needed extern

amount the legislature will be asked to

THE NEW GAME LAWS.

members of the South Dakota Game and

at Sioux Falls last week, will also be of
importance to the people Of this end of

fish is in the Black Hills.
The provisions of this law were set

spEARFIsH NORMAL SCHOOL.

The State Normal school located at
Spear6sh is badly in need of larger quar-.
ters, last week the regents of education
together with eight members of the leg
islature visited the school for the pur-
pose of determining what was needed.
Ibis state normal school has for many
years been the largest one in the state,
and at present an enrolment of AIS, in
Guiding the training department. The
attendance would have been much larg-
er this year had there been more room
and more teachers, as it is now the
school has turned away one hundred
pupils who sought admission to the
training school this year, and twenty
FIVE young ladies who sought admission
to the dormitory. 1t is now necessary
to take two much needed class rooms
from teachers in which to seat the over
flow of students from the maan school
room. Seventeen teachers have to get
along as best they can with eight class
rooms with teachers in which to seat the
overflow of students from the main
school room. Seventeen teachers have
to get along as best they can with eight
class rooms. One class room is being
used as library, and il is not more than
