Assessment Work is Suspended.

Under date of December 2lst a Wash
ington dispatch says, at the instance o.
Senator Teller the senate today passed a
bill suspending for the year 1907 the re,
quirement that 800 worth of labor be
done on mining claims in the course OF
perfecting patent in the states of Colo.
rado, California, Oregon, South Dakota
and Idaho.
The Pioneer-Times of the 25th says,
the latest and best advice relative to
the proposed legislation governing as
sessment work to be done on impatient
ed mining ground, was received by a
local attorney Monday in answer to a
telegram sent by him to Congressman
Parker.
The congressman stated that a reso-
luton which permitted the extepsion
of the time in which the assessment
work for the year 1907 must be done to
May lst, 1908, had passed the senate,
but had not passed the house at the
time his message was sent to Dead
wood.
Consequently the resolution is not yet
but will doubtless be passed
by the house as soon as congress recon
venes after the holidays on January
9th.
The safest plan is to commence the as.
work before the expiration of
the present year and await the further
action of congress.

An Obiect Lesson.

"The indictments found by the Feder-
al Grand Jury at Des Moines, Ia, against
the Chicago catalogue firm of Sears,
Roebuck & Company, upon the charge
of using the mails to defraud are expect
ed to lead to an airing ofcatalogue meth
DDS that will be a good thing for the
country.
"The indictments found specifically
in one count that paint was sold as be-
ing of the highest grade, of the firms
own special make, and containing white
lead, whereas the paint was of inferior
quality, was not made by the firm and
contained no white lead. In two other
counts it if charged that rings were sold
by catalogue numbers as containing a
certain number of pearls, sapphires and
rubies, and it is alleged that none of
these stones were genuine.
"These indictments were secured
through the effort Of W. J. Pinkington,
editor of the Merchants Trade Journal,
of Des Moines, who announces in his
paper this week that he has been col.
lecting evidence of this character, not
only against the firm indicted, but
against catalogue houses, and that he
will continue to gather evidence in
campaign to teach the catalogue houses
that they cannot use the United States
mails to win the trade away from the
country merchants by the misrepresent-
alton of quality of goods in order that
they may appear to be selling at lower
priceS "

Morality Wave at Rapid City.

Mayor Emrick of Rapid City. has de
termined to observe Sunday closing
The mayor, however, did not start the
wave. 1t originated with three minis.
tiers of the gospel, but now that it has
been thrust upon him, the Mayor will
see the thing through.
The chief of police Saturday served
notice that all work forbidden by the
statutes of South Dakota on Sunday
should cease. Along the line of forbid
den Sunday work he mentioned the fol-
lowing:
Livery barns-No rigs to be let out.
Hacks and omnibuses.
Bowling alleys.
Pool and billiard halls.
Theatres and places of amusement.
Saloons.
Photograph galleries.
Dray lines.
Express delivery wagons.
Cinnamon (any line of work..
The publication, delivery and sale of
newspapers.
Stores.
Popcorn stands.
Runners for hotels at the trains.
Milk wagons (after a. M
Meat markets (after a. m.
Barber shops.
Sunday was Rapid City's first "Blue
Sunday" and the experiment worked
like charm. There was hardly move
on the part of the citizens. All were
afraid to stick their heads out of doors
for fear of being arrested.

Many Miles Of New Track.

According to the statistics compiled
by the Railway Age, railroad construc-
ton in the United States has been near
ly as heavy in 1907 as in 1906, which was
the heaviest year since 1888. The total
number of miles of new track laid this
year has been $3.50, of which 422 miles
were in Louisiana, 34l in Florida, 3S5
in South Dakota, 3l4 in Texas and 81
in Washington. In Canada during the
same time, 723 miles we're built and 349
in Mexico.
The greater part of the new track was
laid before the financial strit ..ency, only
small amount of mileage being con-
structed after September.
The orders for freight and passenger
cars and locomotives in 1907 were small
er than at any time during the last seven
years. The volume of orders for this
part OF railroad equipment was about 90
per cent of the total of 1905 and 1906.
The year has been notable for the in
crease in the number of block signals
installed, the increase having been 1921

Future of Mining.

Inc demands OF CIVILIZATION Tor MI n
erals and their products are likely to in
crease with time rather than decrease.
Of course all the big deposits of the
world have not yet been discovered, but
a large portion of the world has been
searched for the required minerals with
more or less success. AS the ores of use.
fu metals are not produced by nature,
as fast as man depletes existing deposits
it is simply a matter of time before the
human race will have exhausted the
more easily accessible and richer depos-
its, and will have to fall back on those
at present considered unpayable under
existing conditions. In olden days
slave labor made it possible for ore to
be worked that otherwise must have
been left for later date. At the pres.
ent day not only is the condition of the
working miner better than of yore, but
modern appliances and methods enable
very low grade stone to be handled
There is no reason why future genera
tious should not improve on present
practice, so that they can deal with ore
of grade now considered not worth
while touching. When reporting on
property it is not sufficient to look at it
from the past or even the present, but
one must look ahead TO a certain extent.
Some properties can be condemned as
out of the question right away, others
often the combined opinions of two or
more specialists for one man cannot be
an expert on all subjects. He may be
very good on technical points concern
ing the working of mine, but may lack
the intimate knowledge necessary to ex-
tract the metal from the ore by the most
up to date methods suitable for that par
ticular ore, allowing for local conditions.
Again, his business knowledge may be
so slight that be would be unable 10
market the product to the best advan-
tages or advise as to the best method of
financing the enterprise, for mine may
be good, and the ore successfully treat
ed, aud yet the venture prove failure
from financial point of view, owing to
unsuitably capitalization, or some other
market price to be considered, requiring
u knowledge of the worlds supply and
demand. If a high price is likely to be
sustained, then small deposits that
would not otherwise be worked may be
brought forward with advantage as has
recently been the case with copper ven-
lures. If a metal reaches too high a
price, then some substitute is sought for
it's common uses. This tends to bring
the price down again. Or one meta
may be affected by another. or by some
special trade, such as tin, which is large
ly produced in silver currency coun
tries, so that when silver is high it can
not purchase the same amount of labor
as when low Also, tin being chiefly
employed in the manufacture of tir
plate, und tin plate being largely useC
in meat preserving works, the demand
for that metal may be influenced by tn,
timed meat industry. AS an engineer
has enough to do to keep up-to-date il
his own particular line, he has to de
pend on the business man to great ex
tent for information of the wheels with
in wheels likely to affect the deman,
and price of a metal in which he is in
terested. Mining Science.

Thursday morning, December 10, 1907,
John Lewis McKenna, of stomach and
bowel trouble.

to this union were born ten children,
eight of whom still survive him, and
who were all with him when he died
except one daughter, Mrs. Martin Kel-
ley, who lives in Des Moines, Iowa.
In 1884 he moved to Fl. Robinson,
Neb., and lived there three years, COM
ing to Custer in 1887, where he has since
made his home. He was one of the old
settlers and prospectors of Caster coun-
ty. Since coming here he has been en-
gagged chiefly in mining and stock rails.
ing. He was a man who was loved and
respected and who made and kept many
friends where ever he was.
Those who are left behind to mourn
his loss and grieve for him are consoled
by the thought that in all situations he
was good man. AS a parent he was
affectionate and kind, and as a citizen
he was honest and upright, always ready
and willing to do his share in the up
building of the community.

HoMEsTAKE DIVIDENDS.

Latest advices from New York are to
the effect that at the Homestake com
pany's meeting on Monday evening, it
was decided that in order to put the
treasury in first class condition it would
be necessary to postpone the payment of
dividends until the month of January,
after which time they win be resumed
at the old rate of fifty cents per share
month. The last dividends were paid
about April 10th, and payments were
suspended on account of the extensive
fire in the Homestake mine, and have
not been resumed. The Homestake is
making splendid record these days in
the amount of gold that is being turned
out and only brief time remains until
the old order of things is resumed.
