HlstOrY of Dakota.

The CHRONICLE is in receipt of copy
of Doane Robinson's "A Brief History
of South Dakota published by the Am
erican Book Co, OF Chicago and we wish
to call the attention of teachers, school
boards and the general public to the
book. Nothing is Of more importance
to the local student than history of his
own state, nor will anything so surely
promote a spirit of civic patriotism in
youth than recital of the struggles and
stirring events of early times, and the
writer of this history has told the story
of the state in concise and most inter
esting manner.
Section 22s6 of the South Dakota Laws
governing teachers certificates requires
that applicants must show satisfactory
proficiency in South Dakota history, and
this law is to take effect July |, 1906
This history will fit applicants to pass a
satisfactory examination in the subject.
The book can be had from the pub
fishers, or by leaving orders at the
CHRONICLE Office.

The Saginaw group is crossed by two
streams, namely the north and south
forks of French creek. The north fork
| would think the most available for
milling purposes. l estimate that there
is ample water for two hundred ton
mill on the ground.
Most Of the ground is now patented
and the remainder will be as soon as the
government officers come to its turn in
their work. In this connection it must
be considered that the timber growing
on the ground adds very much to the
value OF this property, as this timber can
be used for the mining purposes, much
of it being large enough for the saw.
find that Mr.. L. p Woodbury., altho
comparatively new to mining, is saga
cious, sound and practical business man,
and has brought his business methods
to bear in the management Of the prop
erty in q way that ia admirable and
worthy of much praise. learn that he
has designed and supervised the CON
struction Of the plant, the locating and
sinking Of the main working shaft, and,
in fact all that has been done and in
so far as my knowledge goes after forty
three years in the mining business,
call it good. As an example Of his in
telligence, find that he has made it his
first care to find what was in the ore,
and which is more important still, the
best method of treatment for same, or in
other words the best process of extract
ing the precious metal from the rock. |
have been allowed to read some ofthese
reports of tests and up to date the pro-
cess which indicates the greatest saving
is this, first, crushing; next, fine stamp
ing then amalgamation; then, concen-
tration; then cyaniding the taiIings.
The shines should be collected in filter
press and the concentrates shipped to a
smelter. The average ore from the
Saginaw should yield, according to the
tests about $500 per ton in gold.
The elevation at the Saginaw is about
six thousand feet. The climate is pleas
ant and healthful, the water pure, and
the scenery exceedingly picturesque.
