Celebrates Land Case Over.

The celebrated land case, known as
the Dean placers, which consisted Of
nearly 900 acres of land southwest of
Custer, and comprising standing timber
approximately valued at $25, 900 has fin
ally been settled and the officials of the
local land office were sustained in the
decision rendered when the case was
first given a hearing about four years
ago.
A company or syndicate several years
ago made strenuous effort TO acquire
title to this tract of land as placer claims,
but the application for patent was sus-
pended on request of p. r. Wadswortb, i,
special agent of the government land Of
fee who then claimed that the land was
more valuable for timber than for any
other purpose. A hearing was held in
the local land Office some four years ago,
and the officials held that the land was
valuable for its timber and not for plac.
er claims. The decision of the register
and receiver of the land office was sus-
tanned by, the honorable commissioners
of the general land Office. The case
was appealed to the secretary of the in
terror and he also sustained the deci-
sion rendered by the local land officials.
A final decision was demanded and
this was handed down few weeks ago
and the entry and applications of claim
ants we're cancelled and the land, which
is now government land, is under the
supervision of the Black Hills forest re.

shape all through the week, and all de-
sirable killing steers sold at steady to
little stronger prices, Feeder buyers

Rushing to RAPID.

The officials declare that trains will
run through to Rapid City yet this fall
unless the weather is unusually severe.
More men will be added to the force at
the front, and the work will be pushed
as vigorously as possible. On Monday
eighty Japs were taken west to assist in
the work of construction.
When the track is completed to the
Black Hills the passenger crews will all
run through from Chamberlain to Ra-
pid City, while at some midway point
freight crews will change, at least local
freight crews.
In railroad circles it is also said that
repair shops are to be installed at Cham
berlain, and that the initiative would
very likely be taken in this matter yet
this fall. The nearest repair shops at
present are at Mason City, and another
plant of this sort on the Missouri river
is certainly needed. ed.--Chamberlain Dem.

GERTIE TO RESUME.

Although the Gerte tin property near
Hill City is closed down atpresent, work
will be resumed in about week or ten
days. Superintendent Meyer has just
returned from trip TO Pttsburg, Pa,
where his young son submitted to an
operation and says the prospects of the
company are just as bright as they have
been pictured. About ten days ago a
second vein of ore was discovered in the
shaft that runs as high as per cent tin
The shaft is an incline and 500 feet deep.
During the summer the company has
treated quite little ore and has turned
out several pigs of tin from its small mill.
The difficulty with the tables which do
| not match, is being Strengthened out and
| it is believed that it can be entirely done
away with in time. The ore is treated
| on rolls and the concentrates obtained
from Whitley tables. These concentra
tes run 81 per cent tin and are smelted
| in a furnace Of one half ton capacity
The pigs weigh % pounds each.-Pion-

Ask Awkward Questions.

INDIANAPOLIS, March 2S.-At the after
noon session of the conference of min
ers and operators w. D. Ryan Of the

bill has got no business in this conven-
ton but the miners would take it up
with the operators at home. The seven
cent differential, the mine run system
and the present inside and outside day
wage scales are in Illinois to stay, he
said.
r. r. Hammond. of the Illinois op-
orators. was willing to leave the dif-
ferences to a committee.
Il will close my mines forever rather
than be forced to do anything against
my judgment" Mr.. Hammond contin-
ued.
President Mitchell replied to Mr.. Ham
mond:
close his coal companies forever he viii
find Us waiting when he wants to open
them again
This statement was loudly applauded by
the miners
