Blsmuth Ore.

MIR. Herman Renbold shipped car
load of bismuth ore to 0revile, where
it was concentrated at Frank Hebert's
mill. Mr.. Reinbold states that the test
was satisfactory in every respect but the
exact value Of the ore can only be deter.
mined after all the ore is milled The
ore is quartz containing native bismuth
and bismuthinite and there are several
veins on the property, which have been
developed to some extent by his COM
pany. The property is situated on Iron
creek about four miles from Keystone
near the Spokane road.
Bismuth is used mostly for medicinal
purposes and its market value at present
is about 81 so pound, the demand for
it however being limited. the total an
nual consumption in the United States
being about 100000 pounds Some ore
is obtained from the Leadville mining
district in Colorado, but most of it is
supplied to the Chemical works by a
syndicate composed of the Saxon gov.
ernment which controls the German
mines, and a London company which
owns the bismuth mines in Bolivia.
Mr.. Reinbod says, that from the de.
velopment done on the claims near
Keystone and the results of the concen-
tration tests, his company will probably
carry on further work and put up con-
cen,raiion plant on the ground in the
near future.

Bark Pealer IN Southern Hills.

Uncle Sam is trying economy in the
Black Hills, says the Pioneer.Times.
That is to say that he is adopting new
inventions in the forestry service as fast
as they appear practicable, all of which
is in the line Of progress.
The latest invention to come up for
government favor is device for scaling
the bark from the trees. This scaling is
made necessary by the ravages of the
bark beetle and is part Of the relentless
campaign that the government is waging
against this destructive bug. Hitherto
it has been necessary to cut down the
tree when its bark is bug infected and
then scale the bark, pile it and burn it.
All this takes time and money. By the
new invention bevel edged knife on
an adjustable handle that permits it to
reach twenty feet up tree, the bark can
be scaled without cutting down the tree,
providing the infection is not higher
than twenty fee. In most trees it
reaches from six to fifteen feet and sell
dom higher.
1t is the plan of the government to
test the machine thoroughly Special
Field Agent Webb of the bureau of en-.
tomology, who is in the Southern Hills
at present, will have charge Of the test
and will work six machines at once for
one week and satisfactory the machine
will be officially adopted.

Re duced the Fare.

News that should be of great interest
and importance to the Black Hills in
particular and the rest of the state gen.
orally; was received last evening, when
it was announced that the Burlington
and Missouri railroad would reduce Us
passenger rates all over the state, COM
mencing September L. This communi-
cation came in message to J. l.. Bent
ley, the commercial agent of the road at
Deadwood, from the general passenger
agents office in Chicago. 1t was stated
that the present rate of 4 cents a mile
in South Dakota, would on that date be
cut 10 cents per mile being a saving of
$40 on every 900 miles travelled.
The effect of this reduction will be
most felt in the Hills between here and
Edgemont and Deadwood and Spearfsh.
But at the same time on tickets to other
parts Of the state the reduction will be
accordingly. 1t is probable that the
Northwestern and other roads operating
in the state will make a similar reduc-
tion in this state.-Pioneer-T Times

REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

The republicans of South Dakota re-
new faith in the fundamental principles
of the party as set forth in the last ma
tonal platform, and congratulate the
people on the universal prosperity that
prevails throughout the country. In the
midst of our prosperity great combna-
tons have been formed to destroy COM
petition in the various industries and
monopclize the trade and commerce of
the country, and new problems have
come which require the wisest states
manship and purest integrity and pat
riotism for their solution. In this emer-
gency, as in those of the past, the hand
of Providence is manifest. 1t gave us
Washington and Lincoln to meet the
great problems of their day, and it has
given our illustrious Roosevelt who
stands at the head of the nation as
wise and courageous champion of the
rights of free people, fighting the bat
tie against special interests that seek to
control the political affairs of the coun-
try. His administration has been wise
and fearless and commands the univer-
sal respect of the American people re.
gardless of party. We congratulate him
upon his victory in securing the passage
by congress of the recent law for the
regulation of railroad rates and COM
mend our senators and representatives,
in congress for their support of this pol
icy.
We steadfastly adhere TO the republi.
can policy of protection OF American in
dustries but believe that tariff rates
should be modified from time to time,
to change conditions, such modifica-
tions to be made by the friends of pro-
lection and not by its enemies. For the
benefit of the American home builder
and the protection of our forests, we
favor the abolition of all tariff on lum-

Especially Reported for This Paper by
Clay, Robinson Company Live
Stock Commission

The cattle trade the first half of last
week was in very strong state. Re-
celpts were quite moderate and prices
of all grades of killing stock advanced
fully a quarter. Top range steers sold
up to S525 which price we obtained for
choice car from Horse Creek, Wyo.,
belonging to d. Il. Whitaker, these
steers averaging 1875 lbs. Good kinds
of steers sold at $3.50 a. $500; fair TO
good S4.00 a. 81 80. The COW market
was also very strong with prices adj
vanced fully as much as in steers. Top
cows brought up TO $3.50, obtained for
the same man above. Choice heifers
were quotable up to 1890; good cows
1925 O. S365; fair to good 1915 "a $500
Gamers Sl.75 a. $500. Late last week
the run became so moderate that there
were hardly enough cattle to make
market. Prices were generally conceded
to be 10 a. l5c lower than the best time
which was Wednesday.
There was strong inquiry most of last
week for heavy heshy feeding steers.
The early part Of the week witnessed an
advance Of right at quarter, but the
trade was inclined to drag toward the
close ofthe week, and at this time prices
are not as high by I5c per cwt. as they
were last Monday, although the trade
today is on a steady basis as compared
with the close last week. As yet there
is a rather restricted inquiry for light
and medium weight cattle. While they
have sold strong at times, the general
market is little higher than a week ago.
Good to choice heavy steers are quotable
at $4.l5 "a S4.40; fair to good 1885 (9
$4l5 good to choice light and medium
weight steers S3.65 a. So 3S5; fair to good
$3.4O a 1865.
There has been only fair run of
sheep, considerably lighter than last
week. Taken altogether there has been
but little change in either fat or feeding
grades. The inquiry is quite strong for
feeding stock, and this in manner has
caused active trade on most classes
Good kinds of killing lambs are selling
at $6.75 a. $3.50; good yearlings $3.50 "a
$685. good wethers 81 50 "a $50; good
ewes $440 a. $475; good feeding lambs
$500 "a So As; good yearlings $500 a.
$40; good wethers S4.65 "a $3.50; good
ewes $3.50 a. S400.

New N aturall2ation Laws.

Attorney General Hall has sent out to
clerks OF courts of the state a circular
letter covering the new naturalization
law which will go into effect on the 9th
of September. After that date all blanks
used in naturalization cases must be
secured from the department at Wash
ington and will be numbered, the clerks
receiving them being held accountable
for all the numbers received. Any ap.
plication for naturalization must be filed
for period of not less than ninety days
before final action is taken by the court
which action must be on set day of a
term, but no such naturalization can be
completed within the thirty days, pre-.
ceding a general election. The whole
matter of naturalization is practically
placed under federal control, though
through the machinery of the state
courts, and it is evident that the intent
is stricter supervision and to prevent
wholesale naturalizations just preceding,
an election.
Clerk Of courts who have received co.
pies of the new law, and who have care.
fully examined it, state that it is decid-
eddy stringent in It's provisions. They
say that under the new law 1t is now
necessary for them to take the age,
height, color of hair and eyes; and in
fact, complete description of any for
eign person who makes application to
become citizen. Under the provisions
of the new law it is also necessary for an
alien to procure his naturalization pa
pers before September 2Sth next, if he
wishes to vote at the general election in
