O. IL. Olson of Saltwater, Mimi.
to Build it---Bedford Sand

Pierre. S. D.. June 1.-THE capitol
commission, after a session lasting un-
Til midnight yesterday. awarded the
contract for the construction of the new
capitol building to O. HI. Olsen, of Still
water. Mimi. for $52S ,552.
This bid proved to be S103.2I2 less
than the highest bid on the same propo-
sition. Six bids We're submitted on
fourteen different combinations. The
accepted bid calls for Sioux Falls Jas
per granite from the grade and up to
the water table. and Bedford sandstone
for the remaining part of the building.
Ortonville granite is to be used for
stairways and the polished olumns in
front of the building.
Governor Is Pleased.
In competition with the Bedford
sandstone the Black Hills stone came
"a per cent. higher than the former and
had under the law to be left out.
Governor Crawford. chairman of the
commission, expressed himself as very
much pleased with the action taken.
He feels confident, with figures on
hand. that the building will be com-
pleted and furnished and grounds and
walks laid u without having to ask
for any additional appropriation.
1t is interesting to note. owing to the
cry for home products, that the lowest
bid for constructing the building out
of Sioux Falls Jasper was 500. 900.

FARM WORK ADVANCES
IN SPITE OF COLD

Huron. S. D., June 1.-THE South Da-
kota weather and crop bulletin for the
week ending June 8 follows:
There was much partly cloudy
to cloudy weather during the week,
especially the latter part. AS indi-
Gated in Bulletin No. s. light to heavy
frosts occurred over most of the east
ern portion of the state the morning of
May %, but there has been no frost
since then.
The mean temperature was below the
normal. the greatest average daily de-
f~iciency being in the Black Hills district
and parts of the southeastern portion
of the state. While there were some
moderately warm afternoons. the tenn
p%erature did not reach so degrees, the
highest beng u slightly above IS. The
nights were for the most part COOL.
The precipitation averaged below the
normal. and in a humble of counties
was light. The rain occurred mostly
after Wednesday, but there were light
showers in the Black Hills district OH
Tuesday and Wednesday,. Unsettled
weather with occasional scattered
showers predominated from Thursday
until Sunday.
On the whole. good growing condi-
lions prevailed. The soil is amply
moist generally. due to the copious
rains of the latter part of'the preceding
week Although some low lands are
still rather wet. the weather was on
the whole favorable for s~easonable out
door work, which appears to have been
but little interrupted by the rains of
the week just ended.

PILE DRIVING CREW srIRs

Yankton, s. d.. June "A reminder

came to hand Tuesday here when a
Great Northern crew. using a pile driv-
err on a small bridge in town, brought
20 the surface of the creek a small
satchel containing eight sticks of dyna-
mite. some fuse, a box of caps and a
3s-caliber revolver. The find was bad
ly w~atersoaked. but for which fact the
heavy pounding of a pile driver might
easily have done considerable damage.
Several years ago some yeggmen were
discovered here. but seeming trouble
had planted their outfit, which could
not be found when the men were ar
rested. They were finally allowed to
to hold then on. The plant Just roueh

and required 500, 900, 900 gallons of

In order to effect this flooding. water
was turned in through the Ellison shaft,
the open spout, and even the old Lin
coin shaft was opened up for this pur-
fsasar@Ry-naeans of a fume. water was
trough in through Il tunnel at the
north end and a great part of White
wood creek was turned in through the
Savage unnel by II flume 1920 feet
inches deep. This gave a volume of
water equal to about 1900 gallons a
minute. and this in addition to the wa
ter the mine make and the additional
supply caused by heavy rains and

possible point, about eighty feet on the
300 level, by the 10Th of May, only
thirty-seven days from the commence
ment. When his was accomplished,
there was no question blu thai the fire
was out.
Loss Is Great.
1t is impossible at this date, to es-
innate the actual loss to the
The greatest item, of course. comes
In the loss of product, which can be
reckoned very fairly. From April 3 to
April %, there We're only GOO out of
h 1000 stamps dropping and from
April % to May 30, there was no out
put whatever. The average monthly
bullion output of this company is about
$44O, 700. and hence the bullion loss for
this time approXimates $943,16O. There
must be taken into consideration also,
the fact that when the mills began
work on May 30. only 44O stamps were
dropping out of the 1000. This means
that the monthly product Will be di-
minished by over one-half' while this
continues. and how long that will be,
it is impossible to say. The loss in
bullion may, however. be placed very
~conservatively at 81 zoo. 900. The cost
of flooding the mine was but little more
than nominal. while the cost of remov-
ing the water will include the cost of
labor and of fuel for operating the
skips.
Definite figures are here again inn
possible, for two reasons. In the first
place, it is impossible to tell in what
condition the u~Ner levels will be after
flooding; how nan V there will
be. and how much of the expense of
cleaning up Will amount to: in the sec
ond place. the length OF time which
it will take to unwater is uncertain,
as some of the shafts through which
water is now being hoisted may soon
be used for bringing up ore.
The Unwatering Process.
The mine will be unwatered by means
of ten skips of Il combined capacity of
10000 gallons. As it is thought that
HAIL VI tiSse Suti uIlWdteT every minute.
the capacity will be about 5000 gall
Ions a minute, If all are employed
steadily.
That the fire is out, is however. a
great source of satisfaction to the en-
tire country. Several hundred men
have already gone to work and this
force will be increased steadily. 1t is
not too much to hope that the mine
will be unwatered and running at its
full capacity by the first of August.
at the farthest. and the loss to the
company. inclusive of the bullion loss.
will probably not exceed $3.50. 600.
1t has been estimated that LOCO feet
OF lumber has burned. Laborers proh-
ably lest 100000 by the closing down
OF the mine.

Deadwood, S. d., June THE great
est fire ever occurring in a gold mine
In this country, and one of the great
est in the world, has just been success
fully overcome by the Homestake Min
ing company at Lead.
For over two months the company
struggled with this fire. and it was
not until 1t had burned for thirty days
that 1t was found necessary to turn
into the mine all the available water
and to flood the scores of miles of
underground workings.
The most remarkable feature in con
nection with this event is that. al
out of the mine unconscious from the
effects of the deadly gas though caves
occurred. and the red hot rock was
mined from the slopes in the hope of
getting at the fire. though the shafts
are full of water. and are hundreds
of feet deep, yet. among all the men
who have 50 persistently and bravely
fought the fire, there has not been a
single fatality, and the death of two
horses has been the only loss of life.
On the evening of March 25, the fire
started. 1t was supposed from the
blasting out of some old timbers by the
day shift just before they went off.
Fine Equipment U%navailins.
The Homestake has always beer
considered an especially well prepared
mine for all fire emergencies. 1t has
ample water on all levels, pipe lines
hose, and all equipment for fighting
fire; and yet from the very beginning
the flames were beyond control. The
great difficulty was caused by the
forming Of the deadly carbon dioXide

men to approach near the fire, an6
