Rotating crops harms land
less, controls weeds, insect and

too large an acreage is not
tackled, makes the work Of
farming lighter and distributes

The last point is important,

do better each task as 1t

The kind OF farming man
does should depend on what
kind OF markets he can COM

either within driving distance
or within rail shipping distance.
In the latter case i! heavy or

Changes IN School LAWS.

The last legislature made some i'm
portant changes in our school laws. One
of these affects the certifcation of teach
ers. Hereafter all teachers certificates
will be issued by the state superntend-
ent, and recommendation of the state
board of examiners, who will grade all
papers or appoint some one to do this
work.
The new compulsory attendance law
provides that all pupils between seven
and fourteen years Of age, inclusive
must attend school the first six months
in which school is held in the district in
each year. The exceptions are invalids,
holding physicians certificate, pupils
TO whom the law might work hardship
when a request stating a reason for such
excuse is presented by the parent or
guardian TO the trustees and pupils who
tor legal reasons have been excluded
from the regular schools.

Mining Items.

A new copper strike is reported to
have been made by Mr.. Miner and part
ner, about two miles northwest from
Ike Clark's cabin on S4uaw creek. This
is said to be a solid vein ofcopper pyrite
about three feet in width which gives a
return of S36 90 in copper and $500 in
gold per ton of ore. Good enough.
L. W. Herber, manager of the Saginaw
Gold Mining company, in company with
Mr.. Geo. Z. Good, consulting mining
engineer, took the train for Detroit,
Mich, on the 18th. They go to attend a
special meeting Of the directors with a
view to making arrangements to erect a
mill at the mine. The plant proposed
is one Of 100 ton per day capacity and
will, it is said, be one of the most com
plete and up-to-date that has been put
up in the Hills.
The Auburn Mining company, whose
property is located near Mystic, is push
ing work with all yigor and preparing
to erect a mill the coming summer. w
Ii. Stowell, the Supt., reports that they
have tunnel 100 feet deep which dis
closes a mineral vein 60 feet in width
which gives a return by fire assay of al
the way from $3.50 to S2040 per ton il
gold. This is good enough to make i
worthy of notice, and we may expect Il
hear further report in the not distan
hence.

Custer Acre of Eagles.

The Eagles in full feather flew into
Custer on the 18th and organized an
Aerie of that order and many of the
prominent citizens of the town were in
itated and are now full fedged Eagles
The ceremony took place at the Ma.
sonic hall, after which grand banquet
was furnished at the Kleemann hotel
with Taney Elliott as chief chef Hav.
ing replenished the inner man they
again repaired to the hall where the
evening was spent in speech making and
birds kept soaring around till the dawn
as they were having such good time
that they had made up their minds to
the tune of Eve won't 90 home till
morning. At their gathering we are in
formed that 46 new members were initi-
ated and that the charter membership
would be about 100.
There were quite a delegation Of
Eagles from Deadwood, Sturgis, Edge
mont and Alliance to assist in the initi-
alton and installing of the new officers.
Most Of the order are comparatively
young men. but we noticed Col. James
Allen among the rest whose stalwart
form and flowing beard whitened with
the frosts of three score years and ten,
made him look to be the noblest old
Eagle of them all. The following are
the names of the officers elected

Outer Guard-H. L. Palmer.

At the next meeting there will be a
physician elected to administer TO the
ailing of the Aerie if any there be. The
Eagles are growing order and said TO
be the most active and prompt in their
benevolence, while their ritual is said to
be the most beautiful, pleasing and in
spring of all the fraternal orders in the
United States. We may congratulate
the town on the acquisition of the new
order, and wish that each indiyidu a
member may live up to the sentiment
embodied in the following verse:
What is that mother? The Eagle boy,
Proudly careering his course OF JOY,
Firm on his own mountain yig0r relying,

Freight Tariff Sheet Issued.

In conformity with the request ofGov.
Crawford the state railway commission
has issued tariff sheet ofrailway freight
rates recently ordered into effect by
them. the sheet being gotten up in a
form which anyone can understand and
use in computing the rate on commodi-
ties for themselves for a specified dis
tance. The reduction from existing
rates which has been promulgated by
the commission is about 10 per cent. and
it is understood by the commission that
the roads will accept the new rate with

Meyer, Haywood and Pettibone, who
have been in prison over year unable
to get hearing or be brought to trial
will, it is now said be tried at Boise,
Idaho, about the middle Of April next.
These men are all prominent officers
representing the Federated Labor un-
ions of America and are charged with
the murder of Governor Stunenberg Of
Idaho over year ago. The charge is
denied and they have clamored for a
trial ever since but it seems the political
authorities Of Idaho are afraid to give
them trial, aud they have been kept
in durance vile all this time. There is
something wrong about this.

Some Of the uses to which this mater
ial is now being put, are: Mining tim
Der of all kinds, railroad ties, and lum-
Der such as dimension stuff, sheeting,
flooring, siding, lath, etc.
As stated above, over a large portion
of this area the dead and insect-infested
timber constitutes from fifty to seventy
five per cent of the standing timber.
Since the cutting of insect-infested trees
and the removal of the bark from the
infested trunk in the process of making
ties or mining timbers or the burning or
thorough drying of the slabs from saw
timber etiectually disposes ofthe insects,
the Forest Service is especially eager to
have the insect.infested trees removed.
As an inducement TO interest purchasers
on large scale, who alone can remove
millions of feet which otherwise in few
years would be total loss, the Govern
ment is offering this timber at the mini
mum price of one dollar per thousand
feet, board measure. Green timber of.
ten no better than this dead and insect
infested material, is being sold in small
quantities on this same area for FIVE dol.
lars per thousand feet, board measure.
In the least infected portions of this
area the Forest Service has planned to
supplement the cutting of the infested
timber on areas sold to private parties,
by cutting and peeling or otherwise dis,
posing of the insect-infested trees too
small TO be merchantable, or those in
small isolated patches or in inaccessible
places The Forest Service is assured
that by vigorous campaign of this kind
the insects can be brought under control
within few years. The resulting bene-
fit to the Forest Reserve will be shared
in a financial way by persons taking ad
vantage Of this liberal offer
Officers of the Forest Service on the
Black Hills Forest Reserve will receive
applications to purchase this material,
and persons desiring to investigate this
offer, or their agents, will be shown
over any particular area on which they
desire to bid. Attention is called to the
advertisement of this timber in this pa
per, which contains instructions for bid
ding and a description of the area. Let
ters Of inquiry about this timber should
be addressed to J. f. Smith, Forest Sup
ervisor, Deadwood, South Dakota.

OF Interest Here.

Some of the measures passed by the
legislature just closed of special interest
to residents of the Black Hills are given
as follows
l. Joint resolution to congress re-
questing that Fort Meade be made bril-
gade post
,. Timber bill to sell bug infested
timber at public sale.
3. Joint resolution to extend lease OF
school and endowment lands not to ex-
ceed 20 years.
4. Joint resolution for uniform boun-
ty on wolves, coyotes and other preda-
tory animals.
8. Establishing experimental sta.
tions; one in Lyman or Stanley county
and one in Meade or Butte county and
appropriating $4,000 acres Of land there
for, that being all the land left not al.
ready appropriated.
8. Doing away with the herd law.
Fence law was cut out when the Code
was revised fonr years ago, and the law
is changed back as it was before.
Z. Horse inspection law was changed
so that brands can be advertised as here
tofore, and horses inspected at the most
convenient shipping point.
s. Irrigation land was amended so
that it applies to only about four or five
streams III the Hills.
8. Hide inspection law was repealed.

The Mlca FACTORY.

Mr. Joseph Pyne, Supt. of the New
York Mica mine, informs us that there
are at present employed at the mine 45
men, and in addition to this there are
ten operatives employed in sorting the
mica They are drifting on the l00-foot
level and the showing of mica is more
abundant as they proceed. The White
Spar mine, which is another group of
mica mines belonging to the Westing-
house Electric q Manufacturing com.
pany is producing some excellent mica.
and altogether he anticipates that the
product for March will be about double
that Of the previous month. At the
White Spar they are drifting on the 80
foot level and the improved showing of
mica is beyond their expectations.
At the factory which is in charge OF
Mr.. j. Guertin they have at present en-
ployed 80 boys and girls splitting and
trimming mica. They are pleased lot
for they are now permitted to work on
the pound basis and are making all the
way from 81 90 to $500 per day, which
is much better than when they were en-
ployed by the day. The company are
now excavating and making ready to
put up an electric light plant which will
afford light for all their mines and build.
lngs. And if it should be found desir.
| able by our people, there will be power
enough to furnish electric light 10 the
houses in Custer and the surrounding
country.
Some two weeks ago the Custer Com
| mercial Club received letter from Mr.
Longmore, the company's Purchasing
Agent residing at Pittsburg, Pa. In this
letter is expressed very favorable and
friendly disposition towards Custer and
its people. He further said in substance
that he realized the fact that Custer was
the logical point for their factory when
they should build He further referred
to the fact that if sufficient help could
be got here and maintained, to supply
the demand, it would be an advantage
to have it in Custer as it would obviate
the necessity of keeping up two estab
lishments when the business could be
done in one. We think that this can be
brought about in the near future as our
town is growing and the population is
daily increasing. Mr.. Longmore will
visit Custer again in June next to inves
tigate conditions here and talk matters
over with our people, and we feel EN-.
powered to say that Custer will give him
a glad welcome, and the Commercial
Club anticipates pleasant conference
at their Club rooms when he next comes
to visit us.

The railroad magnates complain bit
terly of the interference of the railroad
commission and the law compelling re-
duced rates and two cent fare. They
say that if these laws are enforced that
there will be no profit in the business
and many of the roads will be compelled
to sell out to the government or go into
receivers hands. They predict that il
this thing continues there will be dis
astrous panic in this couLtry, and that
too in very short time There may be
something in all this and it is possible
that in regulating the roads the govern
ment is carrying the regulating business
too far. There is a possibility that our
government is PLAYING the part of the
bull in china shop.
