game animals from being depleted too
fast.
The section of country strikes us as be-
ing very favorable for the object in view.
The rugged character of the ground af-
fording good shelter, and the surround
ing hills and open parks leave nothing
!, to be desired in the way of grazing land
and pasture. Ihe tract is also we'll tim
bered in places and the scenery is pic
turesque and grand 1t is also well va
tered by Hell Canyon creek and en-
braces the mammoth springs known as
Buck, Bear, aud other springs which
have been the favorie camping places
for our hunters in all the years OF the
past. Another great feature of the pre-
serve will always be a grand attraction
aud that is the mammoth Jewel Cave. J"
This beauty spot was for many years
| owned by the Mlchaud Bros. and others
who opened up miles Of underground
cayerns adorned with stalactites, staIay-
mites which glitter by lamp light in all
their fantastic splendor We under
stand that the cave has lately changed
| hands and that the property is now
owned by the Jewel Cave company who
are inaugurating many improvements
| and fitting it up as a public resort. This
| land is embraced within the boundaries
of the Black Hills forest reserve and Will
be under the supervision of its officers.
| The project has been laid before Con-
gresham Z. w. Martin, who has prom
| ised to use his best endeayors to have it
favorably legislated upon during this
term of congress. Mr.. Martin has been
very successful in times past in his eff
forts to procure good things for the state
and it is hoped and believed that his
| influence has not departed.
There is a small nerd of buffalo in the
state {something over 100 head) owned
by Mr.. Scotty Phillips, cattleman of
note, and these animals might be pur-
chased by the government, and put up
on this ground for protection and pro-
pogation. These would form the nu.
cleous of a herd which in time might
grow to large proportions and preserve
from utter extinction that noble animal
that once roamed over the prairies OF
this and adjoining states in the days
gone by when they were numbered by
millions 1t should be the duty and the
pleasure of all the people of the state to
use their influence in favor of this pre-.
serve as once established it will add
much to the attraction of this portion ol
the state and be a lasting benefit to all.

South Dakota w ealth.

State and national banks of South ns
kota, at the date of the call of condition
on the 18th of November, showed depos-
its to the amount Of over S5O,0OO,00O by
the people Of the state, which on a pop
uation of approximately 10000 means
500 per capita in the banks, and helps
to uphold the assertion that this state
leads all the others in the union in the
amount of new wealth created by its
people each year. The state banks are
the most numerous, numbering 1863 un-
der state supervision, and but seventy
nine under federal care. The state
banks showed deposits at that date of
S3l OF ,427 A, which was almost So ,000,-
900 more than they carried at the date
of the call in September and 81 ,234 1851
greater than the amount carried year
ago. In the three years in which the
affairs of state banks have been under
the care OF Examiner Bramble he has
found it necessary to take charge of and
liquidate the affairs of several such
banks, but there has not been failure
in that time through which the deposit
ors lost anything. Under the manage
ment of South Dakota banks the past
few years the people have shown their
confidence in such repositories by the
placing of savings to the amount which
they have in care of the bankers.
The national banks carried at the date
of the November call $1,000, ,339 10,
which was an increase ofS4, 100000 since
the September call and an increase OF
about $ll 100000 since the call of Janu-
AIRY of this year.
The total amount of deposits of the
people ia banks of both classes at the
date of the November call was S50,l47,.
766 50, of which Sll,2l6,l HIP is the
increase for the past year This GER
tainly is good showing for an agricul-
tural state with the population of south

Funds From Timber Sale.

A Pierre special of December 2Sy says
The legislature will be called upon to
decide whether several counties in the
Black Hills will divide several thousand
dollars among them for school or road
purposes. The last congress provided
that a certain percentage OF the money
derived from timber sales on forest re-
serves should 90 to the counties in which
the reserves are located, for the benefit
of either schools or roads as the state
legislature should designate, and Cover
nor Elrod has just received the first re-
mittance of that fund amounting TO
s., ,5963G, which will go to the counties
of Lawrence, Meade, Pennington and

hiHE out inc ldist, IiuB III tic tiuc'
The old year has gone, it has slipped
from its moorings, and drifted away on
the river of time. 1t has been proud
year for America, and the record year
for its prosperity not only for the nation
as a whole but it has been the banner
year for our state, and our own little
kingdom of the Black Hills has kept step
with the march of progress and shared
in its general advancement. In our
own county prosperity has marked it's
progress in every department. This is
shown by the improvements in our
town, the development of our mines, the
bountiful harvests reaped by our ranch
men, the inflow of capital, and the gen
eral good health of the people.
Money has been more abundant
There has been constant and good de-
mand for labor at good prices and our
merchants all testify that their trade has
never been better. The new year en-
ters the ring and promises US even a bet
ter Performance. than ihat which we
have already witnessed, and we greet it
with a cheer of acclamation and hope.
The old year had it's changes and trans
itions and it is to be expected the new
will witness the same, and some of us
who begin to feel the weight of years
may not live to see the fruition of all
that the new year promises. No mat
ter, we will greet it with the sentiment
expressed by the old soldier.
"Tis pleasure to grow old when the
years that bring decay to ourselves, do
but ripen the prosperity of our coun-
try.

The New Game Preserve In Custer

The New Game Preserve IN Custer Co.
In an interview with Judge Charles
Smith we are informed there is a move
ment on foot to establish a game reserve
in the western part ofthis county. Judge
Smith has worked upon the project for
some time and says that there is a fair
prospect of its consummation.
The design is to have the government
set aside about nine miles square in the
section known as Hells Canyon as a
game preserve where all kinds of game
animals and birds will be propogated
and where no game will be permitted to
he hunted or killed. The Black Hills
of South Dakota has long been favorite
hunting ground not only for those who
are fond of the sport but hunters from
all parts of the states and even from
Europe. The result has been that the
game is being killed off to fast, and un
less some provision is made for keeping
up the supply, the game will soon be ex-
terminated. The plan now put forward
seems the best and in fact the only plan
that has thus far been devised to pre-
serve the elk, deer, antelope and other
