BIG ISSUE RAISED AT SPRINGS
To License or Not to License a Bowl
ing Alley.


ing Alley.
A question before citizens of Wes
sington Springs Just at present is the
advisability of allowing a bowling al
ley to be started. 1t being rUmored
that license was about to be issued
to C. B. Bartlett of Woonsocket for
that purpose, mass meeting was held
to discuss the proposition. Resolu.
tions were adopted to have two peti.
tions presented to the mayor and city
council, one asking the council to re.
peal that part of the ordinance which
provides for the licensing OF bowling
alleys, the other asking the mayor to
refuse to sign such license until the
council can take action on the first
petition.
Another petition has been circulated
asking the mayor and council to allow
the bowling alley to run. The question
will not be decided until the council
meets on Dec 3. Because of the agi.
tation, Bartlett, who had commenced
work on building to be used for an
alley, has returned to Woonsocket.

PRODUCE LESS GOLD.
Lack Of Water Is Serious Handicap
in Production Of the Mines.


The report of the state mine inspect
or for the last year has been filed with
the governor, showing a reduction of
204,653.71 in gold from the prior year.
But the report this year shows that
a large mine did not report, this mine
being credited with $110,665 last year.
The last years report also contained
an estimate of $4,000 placer gold,
which was omitted this year. While
there has been general reductior
the great Homestake mine shows an
increase, reporting s5,OS0,O00 last year
and $5,250000 for this year
The report shows 1000 men work
ing in the mining industry in the
Black Hills, the average wage being
$3.50 for surface men to $3.50 for
miners, and higher for skilled men.
Lack of water is being looked upon
as serious and is hampering the de-
velopment of the mineral industries
of the Hills.
The report recommends amendments
to the present laws regarding safety
devices in mines to make them more
specific in their terms. It asks for
law requiring heavy wire screens
around cages when men are being car.
ried in or out of the shafts, and also
asks for a specific law in regard to
handling and thawing dynamite.
The school of mines is commended
for the work which it is doing for the
mining industry of the Hills.
The report shows seven deaths and
fourteen serious injuries from acci.
dents the past year.

FORGET TWINE PLANT.
But Many South Dakota Counties Fa-
vor the Prison Project,


Notwithstanding that three weeks
have elapsed since the election, COM
plete returns have not yet been Sc
cured as to the vote cast upon the
proposed amendment to the constitu-
ton of the state providing for the
levying of a special tax for the year
1907 for operating binder twine plant
at the Sioux Falls penitentiary.
The interest in the result Of the
election on the state and county tick
cts was so keen that no attention was
paid to the twine plant amendment
when the returns were sent to central
points, and in only a few precinc'
was an effort made to keep a me
randum of the vote on this quest
prior to the poll books being sea-
up and delivered to the county audi
tors.
The county canvassing boards met
last week, but in the published tables
of the vote cast in many of the coun-
ties the vote upon the twine plant
amendment Is omitted.
However, sufficient returns have
been secured to indicate that the vote
in favor of the proposed twine plant
was nearly double that cast against 1t.
So far as reported, Hand and Gus
ter counties are the only counties in
which majorities were cast against the
proposition to establish the twine
plant, the vote being: Hand county,
319 for, 443 against; Custer county,
215 for, 229 against.
The official vote from twenty light
of the ffty-two counties in South Da-
kota gives the following totals of the
vote cast for and against the twir
plant amendment: For the twine p
1864; against the twine plant, IL,
sos.
The state canvassing board will meet
the first week of December, and
doubtless not until that time will the
exact vote upon the twine plant
amendment be known.
