ger could make little or no Roadway,
and his attempt at rescue proved futile
Three experts have been examining
the mammoth blowout of iron ore in
the Bear gulch mining district near
Lead for large fuel and iron company
of Denver There is one of the largest
iron deposits in this mining district.
Former examinations have shown 1t to
be specially fine grade for smelling.
South of Lead twenty five miles is the

a mountain of iron ore. This deposit is
several miles in extent and of unknown
depth. Several experts have been exam
lining this deposit recently with view
of building a railroad to the camp and
erecting large iron works
The late Legislative session made a
radical change in the railroad assess
ment laws of the state, and the railroad
companies say chat IL is physically
impossible for them to present reports
under the new law by the 10th of this
month, as the law demands, but that
they will be gotten in just as soon as
possible They will be given all the
time possible by the state board to get
IN their reports, but all assessments by
/, and the roads have but little leeway.
Ii is expected that the assessment on
this class of property will take mp much
more of the time of the board than il
has IN former years, and that the valua.
ton will be much higher.

There was practical benevolence in
the action of the Black Hills delegation
to the knights of Pythias grand lodge
at Aberdeen, who made mp purse for
the benefit of Young couple from
Broken Bow, Nebraska, whose child

out means TO employ an undertaken, but
the Black Hills men quickly supplied

The state administration seems deter
mined to draw the attention Of the tax
payers from the glaring fact that state
taxes will be higher than ever before
this year and next, and in order to
unduly excite the people and rivet their
attention to some other point they have
sent up terrific wall because Senator
Kittredge, Secretary Taft and dozen
or so of Sioux Falls men ate breakfast
in private dining room without asking
Gamble and Crawford to eat with them.
OF course, the people will 60 wild and
tear their hair over this matter. Still,
there is bare possibility that they will

and all.consuming conceit of Crawford
and Gamble. The people pay the taxes
and not the breakfast expense, there
fore they are considerably more inter
ested in the matter
