WANT GUM.
They Have Learned the Habit from Us
and Would Import.

T, Washington, d. c., Nov. IAN un-
usual request has come to the depart
ment of commerce from Germany from
d firm which wants to be put in touch
with some manufacturer of chewing
gum with a view to importing the gum
for sale to natives and tourists. 1t APP
pears lat the United States Is the only
country in the world where such an
~larticle as chewing gum is made, and
that American tourists have introduced
1t into Germany and caused the Ger
mans themselves to set aside their
stems long enough to try it. The re-
suit has been that they now relish and
crave 1t, and it may be that a great
temperance movement win thereby be
.iinaugurated in the Fatherland. Ger
tainly the jaws which are champing
gum cannot drink beer at the same
time.

Committee to Consider Ways and
Means-Proposition Not a
New One.

agent, have made the proposition to the
business mems association of this city
that IL three miles of right of way is
donated on each side of this city and
a franchise granted for building the
line through Elk Point, this city will be
located on the map Of a proposed cleo
trio interurban railroad between Sioux

Mr.. Morcum is a director In a COM
pany, said to have sufficient capital to-
build such a line, and which is anxious
to begin work early next year if ar
-rangements for right Of way can be-
made during the winter. The proposed

Worthlng, then to Beresford, Alsen and;
Elk Point to North Riverside, where
connection can be made with the line
of the Sioux City Traction company.

the company a franchise to run through
the city, and will refer the matter OF
granting the right to run along the
county roads to the commissioners or
Union county.

Sioux Falls to Sioux City is not a new
thing. Such lines rave been in the

meet with the proposed interurban up

Who Were Thrown from Their
Beds Are Hurt.

switch Of the main track turned and
the brakes on an incoming passenger
train on the Burlington road refusing
to work, causing it TO crash at full
speed into a long string of bunk cars
on a side track occupied by Italian
laborers, ii remains a mirac that none
were hurled into eternity or at least
not injured.
When nearing the station the engi-
neer on the train discovered that the
brakes refused absolutely to work and
whistling for a clear track he was hor-
rified to find hat the switch was
turned and that his train must crash
into the bunk cars that filled the side
track. The crash a few seconds later
was a terrific one and four Of the bunk
cars were shattered into kindling wood.
The Italians were thrown from their
hunks into the snow banks and pine
brush by the side Of the racks but
were not injured, and neither were the
passengers on the train hurt beyond be-
ing shaken up a little.

at Depth of 1916 Feet.

Madison. S. D., Nov. 2.-Work on
the test artesian well sunk in this city
by the county and city combined has
been permanently Stopped, owing to
the drill striking granite, which could
not be penetrated.
Chairman Bingham, Of the board Of
county commissioners, has concluded
the work Of measuring the well and a
settlement has been effected with the
contractors. The measurement shows
that the well is 1916 feet In depth, for
which the county paid at the rate Of
$3.50 per foot. or a total of $4,000. AL
though the water does not flow over
the top OF the pipe, it reaches to within
a short distance of the surface of the
ground and can be utilized by placing
a pump over the top of the we'll casing.
The city will make use Of the well In
this way, so 1t will not be an entire
loss.

IS an insignificant rise of land. not over
800 feet above h river level In the
valley, says the Wall Street Summary:
It is, approximately, two m a hair
miles In length by two miles In width,
and is an irregular oval In shape. The
richest ore producing portion, however,
is conferred in a space OF about two
SQUARE miles. Within that limit there
are no fewer than forty principal shafts:
from 1000 to 2,400 feet In depth, bel
sides many smaller and less import
ant developments and prospects. I'M,
derground there is a network OF drifts,
cross-cuts and galleries, frequently In
tersecting each other and connecting
the deep workings of different mines.
1t Is estimated that there Is more h
500 miles OF UGH underground excava-I
lions. The output from this single hill
is upward of $4,000 tons OF ore a day.,
yielding more thar $1,000 tons OF re-
fined copper a month, exclusive OF
gold and silver, which is fully 80 per
