COAL IN SOUTH DAKOTA.
Rich Vein at a Depth Of 1900 Feet Nea
Miller.

Miller. S d.. Jan "A vein of coal
eight feet thick and equal in quality to
the best Hooking Valley soft coal was
discovered about twenty-five miles
northwest of here by William Deuei
while boring an artesian well on the
Martin Moore ranch. 1t is 1900 feet
below the surface of the ground in
chalk stone and below the first flow OF
artesian. water. The seeming impos-
sibility of working 4 coal mine thus
situated caused contempt and disgust
rather han a celebration of joy over
the discovery, but it is believed by
many hat the tim will come when
by some method the coal will be raised
to the top Of the ground and used.
The extent of the vein is not known,
but it is believed to underlie a large
area.
In the carly sos a vein OF coat was
discovered about twenty miles farther
northwest that furnished fuel for the
pioneers of that neighborhood for some
time. That vein was near the surface
and was a poorer quality Of coal than
the vein discovered by Deuel. SO deep
Town in the earth. The gentleman
states that of the scores of artesian
wells he has sunk there has been no
coal found III any of them to speak of
except his one, although more or less
gas escapes from all of them. The
Hyde county well that is reported to
be quite heavily charged with gas
is only q few miles west of the Moore
we'll where the thick vein of coal is.
and the theory is advanced that the
coal underlies hat whole section,
though under the artesian t1ow.

in the brothers each taking a shot at

NEED CARS.
South Dakota Railroads Cannot Meet
the Demand. =

SfIC 1SE1dnC. -
Sioux Falls, S. D., Jan. 3.-From all
parts of South Dakota come urgent
calls for cars in which to ship to mar
lket the bumper crops raised in the state
this year.
/. The various railroads With lines en-
terinS Il state are simply Swamped
with calls for cars, which are pouring
in in ever increasing numbers. The
railroads are making strenuous efforts
10 keep the crop moving, but SO vast is
the quantity of grain awaiting ship
ment that the railroads are utterly UNI
able TO supply cars fast enough to
meet the demand. owing to their rolling
stock not being ample to care for such
mammoth crops as We're raised in the
state this year.
In the northern part of the state.
where the car shortage is the more APP
parent. the grain dealers and elevator
men have reSorted to a novel method of
informing the distant farmer when
their elevators are not full, by flying
flags on The highest pinnacle of their
elevators.
Farmers for the last month have
waited in vain for the unfurling of the
desired signal that grain again has
commenced to move. Elevators are
tlled TO the bursting point, and at many
points the buyers ave long since been
compelled TO cease purchasing grain.
Relief from the car shortage is ex-
pected in the near future, when South
Dakota's grain crop will again COM
mence to move toward the big market

Sioux Falls. S., D., Jan. Sit Is now a
certainty that, failing to induce any rail-
road company.t to make the connection, cit
liens of Sioux Falls will construct an cleo
trio railroad from this city southwest
ward to Parker or Marion Junction. A
railroad in that direction has been de-
sired for many years by the business men
iof Sioux Falls. With the object OF con-
STRUGGLING the connecting link between the
city and one of the towns mentioned a
company has been Incorporated under the
name OF the Sioux Falls Interurban COM
pany, with DR.. II. Il. Brown president and
George A. Pettlsrew secretary. Both are

ing citizens. Messrs. Germ and Gross al
ready have started out in the country with
the object of securing the right-of-way for
the proposed road. and they will not re-
turn to the city until this purpose is ac-
tomplished. The work of constructing
tho new road will commence as carly in
abe spring as the weather will permit.

AN IMPORTANT RULING.
State Supreme Court Rules That Taxes
Must. Be Paid on Credits.


Nermillion. S. d., Jan. 3-One of the
most important decisions of the su-
preme court in recent years was handed
down last Saturday. IT relates to the
taxation of moneys n credits, n the
higher authority reverses the decision
of Judge Smith to the effect hat the
board of county commissioners Il no
right to assess certain money and
credits owned by residents Of Clay
county. The decision will mean tina
the city Of Nermillion alone will Sc
cure about $1.100 for taxes OF 1904 tina
otherwise would not have been in sight.
The decision of the supreme court has
more than a local significance. 1t will
affect nearly every town, city and coun-
ty in the state. During the year 1904
there was Il general movement TO as
sess mortgages and moneys, but the
propositiln met with a stubborn resist
ance. AS a test case G. 4. Salmer, u
wealthy citizen of Vermillion. went into
court with his trouble. He was repre-
scented by Dean Thomas Sterling, of
the state university law department,
and the county board employed Attor-
ney II. G. Tilton, of this city, and Attor-
ney Z. II. Dillon, of Yankton, for coun-
sci. Arguments were heard before
Judge T.. G.. Smith in this city during
"a term of circuit court.
The contention of counsel for Mr.. Sal
mer was that undc the present law it
was unconstitutional for the board to
make any assessment of this nature,
since no return had been made by the
various township assessors. The
boards attorney argued that il the
present law was unconStitutional then
the old law was in force, and if the old
law could not be used, then the court
was in a position to do the assessing
himself. Judge Smith held hat the
board was in error, whereupon the COM
missioners appealed to the supreme
court.
Many of the citizens who Will be
obliged to pay on mortgages for
the year 1904, however. will not be
caught mapping again. There has been
IL general assignment OF mortgages
since the question arose, and when time
for the next assessment comes it Will

Jones, of the state circuit court, to the
disappointment of the striking printers
in this city, has continued to the spring
term of our the trial of the injunction
cases instituted against the members
of the local typographical union as the
outgrowth of the strike. At the sug-

printers. who some weeks g secured

solving of the injunction against the
women members of II local typo
graphical union and other members of.
the union who have not been partic-
ularly conspicuous in the strike. The
striking printers wished the injunction
cases tried at the present term, but the.
attorneys for the employing printers
declared they wished to bring to Sioux
Falls the officers of the International
Typographical union and all h CORE
spondence that has taken place be-
tween the officers of the local union and
the international union, II that there
fore they could not get their cases
