Taxpayers sue state.

An interesting case will shortly come
up in the circuit court at Deadw God
The suit will be brought by the taxpay-
ers Of Lawrence county against the state
of south Dakota for the purpose Of eff.
tecting a reduction Of taxes for the year
1905.
At the annual meeting of the state
board Of equalization, held in Pierre last
August, the board increased the valua-
ton as returned by the county auditor
on all city and town realty in Lawrence
county l?3 per cent This created a
great stir among the property holders in
the county, as the value of realty had
not Increased during the last year, and
the valuation was much higher than the
valuation returned by other counties.
The Commercial club of Lead. through
their representative, Chambers KeIar,
endesvored to have the board reconsid-
er it's action, but was unsuccessful. The
club. therefore, presented the matter to
the city councils and school boards of
Lead, Desdwood and Spearfsh.
The result las been that the treasurer
Of Lawrence county has been enjoined
from accepting more than eight-ninths
of all taxes assessed against town and
city realty in Lawrence county for 1905.
The petition through which this action
was taken has been received enthusas-
tically by all taxpayers, not one proper
ty holder of the county having come
forward and stated that they wished to
put down their names. The committee
appointed by the Lead Commercial club,
and having this in charge, consists Of
Horace Clark, John Walsh and David
Morgan, and they are requesting that
each taxpayer in the county contribute
at least one dollar on each thousand dol
lars on town and city property to help
pay the expense of litigation
Coe l. Crawford, of Huron; S. C. Pol
ley, of Deadwood. and G. B. Thompson
of Lead, have been retained as counsel
for the plaintiff.

No Race Suicide IN so. Dakota.

The December report of the South Da-
kota bureau Of vital statistics contains a
summary of the reports for the first six
months of operation of the law.
Commissioner Robinson says of the
new law With the sole exception of
the slowness of physicians and parents
in reporting the given names Of infants,
the law is working splendidy. The
names Of infants are an important part
Of the record and should be promptly
reported. With much effort on the
part Of this office the names ofpractical-
ly all the infants born during the first
quarter are now recorded
There we're S42 births in December
and 1865 during the six months.
The deaths in December numbered
347 and for six months l,722. During
the six months l25, or . per cent died
from tuberculosis; l34, or II per cent,
from heart failure; 10, or per cent,
from pneumonia and 80, or per cent.
from cancer Accidents have been the
cause of l34 deaths, the same number as
from heart failure. The accidental
deaths from drowning were "a from
gunshot Is lightning, 10; railroad 8,
and burned, >. There were 10 suicides
and murders
During December there were 45l mar
riages, very many more than for the
previous month For the six months
there were 500 couples united in mar
rage.
In December A. divorces were grant
ed and in the six months 2l7. In these
cases 1877, or GO per cent, the parties
were non-resdents. This leaves but so
cases for the six months in which the
parties were actual residents of the state.
Two hundred foreigners were natural
lied in December, and 500 in the six
months. Almost all these people came
from the north Of Europe and Canada

Meetine Of Forest Rangers.

The annual meeting of the Black Hills
forest reserve rangers was held at the
Franklin hotel, Deadwood on Friday
evening Of last week Tn response toan
invitation from Captain Bullock, the
rangers assembled at dinner and the
meeting was made both business and
social one. Reports of last year showed
conditions good throughout the Black
Hills and also that the bark beetle, the
great fos 10 the Black Hills forest, has
made no advance during the past year
In Custer and Pennington counties it il
true that much timber is still being des
troyed, but in the northern Hills the
improvement is so great that if an aver
age were struck it would show that the
beetle has really gained no ground In
this discussion an Interesting fact hith-
erto unnoticed was brought out and that
is that the bark beetle is natural born
coward and never attacks tree unless
it Is in some way injured or weakened.
If the tree has been struck by lightning
or its vitality is low then the beetle
starts in on its winning fight, but if the
tree is strong enough to withstand the
attack for even a short time, beetle
will leave. At this dinner Captain Bnl-
lock made his farewell address to the
men with whom he has been associated
for thp Dasf fpur WARS opl ipfroJucoJ a {
successor, J. + Smith of Custer When
Mr. Smith takes Captain Bulock's posi-
ton Of forest supervisor on the first OF
February, his former position of deputy
forest ranger will be taken by c. II.
Dodge of Hill City. Another change is

Win Petition Congress- Ald.

Pioneer Times At an enthusiastic
meeting Of the Black Hills Mining Mems
association held in Lead Wednesday
evening, the question of homestead
lands was taken up. Chambers kellar
chairman of the committee appointed
to look into the matter, reported in fa
vor of legislation for the enactment of a
law by congress giving to bona fide set
tiers a chance for a clear title to their
ground at the cost of $3.50 per acre.
This is the same as the mining men pay
for their placer claims. This report will
be sent in the form of memorial to
congress at once.
A committee was appointed to look
into the matter of taxing mining lands
The mining men will try to get reduc
tion on the non.productive mining
ground. At present the tax is the same
on ten acres of non-productive mining
ground as ii is on one hundred acres
Of agricultural ground that is yielding
report on the subject will be made al

Review Of Mining Conditions In South
Dakota.

Dakota.
With a mineralized area that is small
when compared with that of the two
states which exceed her in the value of
gold and silver production, South Dakota
continues to hold third place, being ex-
ceeded by only Colorado and California.
The estimated output of gold and silver
for 1905 is approximately the same as
that for 1904, being slightly less in the
case of each metal. A number of factors
have contributed to this decrease, the
destruction by fire of the Horseshoe mill
at Terry being the most important With
the reconstruction Of this plant and the
completion of number which are now
in process Of erection the deficiency oil
the past year should not only be made
up in 1906, but the output should be ma.
terially increased. The figures rs given
out by the director of the mint are as
follows Gold value SG95l 600, fine
ounces silver l38,409
The dividends paid by the Black Hills
are the best evidence oftheir prosperity
In all 81 100000 has been paid to stock
holders during 1908 and represents the
largest amount ever paid in single year.
The Homestake company continues, as
IN the past, to be the heaviest producer
and largest dividend payer, in the latter
respect having contributed 81 100000 to
the total dividends declared by the
mines ofthe state. The Golden Reward
Company has been one OF the successful
companies IN the Bald Mountain dis
trlct and has returned profits to the
amount OF approximately 100000. The
company s smeIter was not IN operation
last year, and the returns were entirely
from the 200 ton cyanide plant

MlnInR IteuR.

| The ten stamp mill at the Black Tom
mine near Hill City was started up last
week The News reports everything as
running nicely and the stockholders
feeling good over the very promising
| outlook
A rich strike in gold and silver is re-
ported on Copper Mountain, twelve
miles south Of Thermopolis, Wyoming
The ore is said to run $500 ton in val.
ne. The discovery has created great ex.
element.
| All the machinery for the new Clara
Belle mill is reported to be on the
ground and crew Of men at work in
stalling it and making the plant ready
| for an early commencement of opera
tions The battery blocks have been
| placed, and excavations are complete.
Work is progressing favorably at the
mine, the shaft having reached depth
Of 250 feet. Values hold good on the
lower levels, and with the new mill in
operation it is expected that closer saw
ing of the values will be effected 1t is
believed that the mill will be completed
by the first of March
WORK AT THE CUYAHoGA.
Everything has the appearance of ac-
! tivity and business at the Cuyahoga
camp. With a new shaft being sunk
and the Old one continued boarding
house in the course of erection, plans
drawn for new gaw mill, a new hoist
and other machinery already on the way
| to the mine the camp is and will be
most active one. The prospects so far
| of gold bearing quartz are Of high
grade and the company feel confident
| that they have a mine we'll worth the
contemplated extensive development
work. At the bottom of the old shaft
| which is down something over 100 feet
the ledge shows some very rich ore and
! plenty of it, In the new shaft hither-
to unknown ledge has been struck which
prospects we'll.
This new shaft will be one Of the larg-
est in the southern Hills. composed of
three compartments each of which will
measure AZ by feet in the clear.
The dimensions of the boarding house
are 40 by q feet with two stories. 1t
will be fitted up with view towards
the comfort of the men, as can be seen
by the fact that one large room will be
set apart for reading room. In the
construction and fitting of this boarding
house the company have always kept in
view the fact that comfortable quarters
for their men adds n great deal to the
working propensities of the men.
In fitting mp the saw mill all the raw
materials for lumber, of which there is
an abundance will be utilized. Besides
this the expense of hauling will be OBJ
liberated, and when particular lumber
is needed the entire plant will not be
obliged to shut down awaiting the con.
venience of the ordinary custom saw
mills.
Altogether from the present prosper
ity of the camp and its bright outlook
the future welfare ofthe Camp Cuyahoga
seems assured keystone Recorder.
