One of the sterling policies Of their ia
ther was that no partner should ever suf-
fer by becoming interested with the Gug
genheims and his sons, regarding the
Nipissing underwriters as partners, saw
to it that they lost nothing.
Mrs Guggenhem who, before her mar
riage eight years ago, was Miss Olga
Hirsch of New York, is beautiful and
accomplished woman. She has travelled
extensively abroad and has rare linguis-
tic and musical attainments. They have
one child, John Simon, in whose name
many of Mr.. Guggenheim s benefactions
have been bestowed since his birth. The
magnificent buildings at the Golden
School Of Mines, which cost 10000, was
presented to the state by Mr.. Guggen-
helm on the birth Of his son.
Mr.. Guggenheim home life is ideal.
He is far from being altogether prac-
teal man of business, for he combines
with surprising talent as a financier. a
delicate fancy and rare capacity for SEN
timent
1t has been supposed by many that
Mr.. Guggenheim s lavish gifts to chari-
ties and educational institutions of Col
orado were singular instances in his his
tory. Meyer Guggenheim, many years
ago, gave 100000 to erect a department
of hospital in Philadelphia for patients
who had sufficient funds to pay for
treatment, stipulating that the income
from this department should go to sup
port rooms for poor patients unable to
pay, who were cared for in the general
hospital The firm of M. Guggenheim s
Sons recently gave 100000 to found
department in Mt Sinai hospital in New
York, the proceeds received from pa
tients cared for there who were able to
pay to 90 to another department OF the
hospital and provide care and medical at
tendance for the poor.
Mr.. Guggenheim will take his seat in
the United States Senate, when elected,
under the most creditable circumstances.
The Republican party in Colorado was
overwhelmingly victorious at the last
election and it was naturally expected
that several candidates would enter the
field to contest for the Republican votes
for senator So firmly have all the lead
ers of the party and the majority OF its
rank and file become attached to Mr..
Guggenheim, however, that from the be-
ginning there was no serious opposition
to his being elected to the high honor.
Senators who come from other states usu-
ally secure their victory after keen rlv-
airy with their party compeers, but Mr..
Guggenheim will probably stand alone

A Girls Rescue Home.

Capt. Samson, who has had charge oi
the Salvation Army work here for some
time, has resigned to organze society
to establish Black Hills rescue home
for fallen women. He will be superin-
tendent and III. @. Cornwell assistant
with their wives as matrons. They have
rented the Edmund Petty residence
which has been occupied by Mrs. Coll
and will get started in their work at
once. The home will be undepomina-
tional, but wholly charitable, depending
upon soliciting all over the state for sup
port. They make this home for girls
and women who have gone estray and
desire to correct their ways and seek
honorable employment. This will be
the only home of its kind in the state
and those in charge have had expert
ence elsewhere in this line of work they
believe there is great need of one in this
state and that Hot Springs is an excel.
lent location. They will start out and 90
over the state at once and open the
home for those who seek admission

Delay in Sioux Opening.

According to the commissioner of the
general land office considerable time
must elapse before the allotments to the
Sioux Indians Of Tripp county, this state,
can be completed, and it is not possible
at this time to state approximately the
date when the reservation will be OPEN
ed Under the most favorable condi-
tions Of weather and taking all other
problems into consideration it appears
that this reservation cannot be thrown
open to white settlement for at least
nine months or year. The lands that
will eventually be thrown open to settle
ment and entry aggregate, approximate.
iy $4,000 acres.
The price to be paid for these lands
entered under the homestead laws is to
be as follows: For lands filed upon
within three months after they shall
have been opened to entry, SO per acre
for lands entered after the expiration of
three months and within six months af
ter they shall have been opened to en-.
try, S4.5 80 per acre, and for lands entered
after the expiration of six months from
the date oftheir opening to entry, 81 so
per acre. Payment for these lands will
be cash payment of one-fifth of the
purchase price at the time of entry and
the balance in five equal installments.

MINES AND MINING.

The Ivanhoe is running with a good
force and the manager, DR.. Ratte, is ex-
pected back from the east in few days.
James Demereau has ceased doing
assessment for the present on the Gran
ite Reef group of mines and is now en-.
gagged in work on the Demereau placer
bar, two miles above town on French
creek.
1t is announced that the Holy Terror
Keystone will start up in few DAYS for
a continuous run but the first task is to
unwater the mine. Mr.. Chas. Morgan
is president of the company and Mr.. r..
III. McNulty is to be the future manager,
but the work will be started by Mr.. +.
A. II. Tays, mining engineer who has
examined and reported on the mine
The workings in the mine has attained
the depth of 1900 feet. The work of un-
watering the mine will be quite task
but the ore is known to be rich and will
no doubt prove remunerative.
John Truax has returned from the
east accompanied by Mr.. Gustave Muel-
Ter who will examine the wolfram mines
controlled by Mr. Truax and if the ma
terial is found sufficient to give encour-
agement work will be commenced on the
mines in the near future. The mines
are situated just east from Hill City and
are reported to be rich in tungstic acid
which is now very much in demand as
an alloy of steel. The effect of tungstc
acid is to harden and toughen the steel
and is largely used in the manufacture
of armor plate for warships and many
other purposes.
There is a rumor which is creating
some interest in mining circles to the
effect that most of the prominent mines
in the Bald Mountain district will be
consolidated and merged into one COM
pany and controlled by one manage
ment. This, if true, may be an excel
lent thing for the parties directly con-
cerned, and for the community at large,
whose interests are so deeply effected
| by the success or failure of the mines.
The larger the scale upon which mining
is conducted the cheaper it can be car
ried on and this move may enable the
mine owners to pay better wages than
they are able to do under present cir
Il
cumstances. This lessening of the ex.
pense of production may be sufficient to
set the wheels going round and that is
all that is needed to make Bald Noun.

CUSTER CRY, S. D., May 20, 1907.
EDITOR OF THE CUSTER CHRONICLE.
DEAR SIR R:-Under the above caption
a recent issue of "The Retail Druggist
publishes the following article to which
| desire to call the attention Of our far.
mers.
"We are only just beginning to recog.
nize the great value to mankind of the
whale. Prof Muller, who has spent
several years on and near the Canadian
| coast, has found means of extracting
the milk of the whale, and analysis OF
this shows it to be quite as nutritious as
ordinary cows milk. 1t contains, at the
same time, additional valuable medicin
al properties, somewhat similar to those
contained in cod-liver oil, and it is dis.
tinctly pleasant to taste"
This article may serve to call the at
tention of our farmers to source of in
come that has been much overlooked
hitherto. Whilst the writer would not
advise farmers at the start, to
invest too heavily in the raising of
whales, it would appear that those who
have suitable locations on which it
would be possible to make ponds for
their culture, could increase their in
comes by raising good milking strain
of whales. OF course it is generally un-
derstood that whales prefer salt water,
but this need not deter anyone from
raising these interesting animals, for a
few barrels of salt would overcome this
difficulty.
The whale when thoroughly domesti-
Gated is of a gentle and kindly nature,
and is never known to get hockey or
kick milk pail over as so many of our
cows are apt to. 1t is advisable to start
in with young stock rather than with
full grown animals, as they can be more
easily handled and broken to milk.
There is much less loss from rustling
| in the case of whales than there is with
|
than one or two whales across the coun
try without attracting more or less at
tention, as anyone will admit who has
ever seen man driving herd of them
The farmers living withiE the Forest
Reserve would not be hampered by re-
strictions concerning their grazing per
mits, as Freme Smith has not prohibit
ed the grazing of whales at any time o.
the year. This should be great poin
in their favor in this part of the coun
try.
For start would suggest to farmers
thinking of raising small flock o
whales, that they could not do better
than to write to the Spearfish Hatchery
and no doubt the courteous officials o
that institution would be pleased to fur
nish the young stock and give advice a
to the best strains and the care to be ia
ken in their raising.
Respectfully yours,

Wolves Destroy Deer.

There is no doubt, says the Lead Call
that large numbers of deer were killed
in sections of the Black Hills last season
by timber wolves. Wolves have beer
increasing in numbers and the north
west section of the Hills was infested
with them last fall.
Secretary Wilson of the department o.
agriculture, recently sent agents into the
west and northwest to make inquiries
into the destruction of deer by timber
wolves. The reports made by the agents
indicate that, unless measures are tax en-
to exterminate the wolves they will ex.
| terminate the deer.
One of the agents, Vernon Bailey, re-
ported that in the late winter and early
spring the deer had gathered in yards
hundred or more in each yard. Run
aways from these yards enabled the
deer to obtain all the food they needed.
If left unmoested, the deer would have
wintered in good condition, but in al
most every instance they were attacked
by wolves in the yards themselves. In
the yards Mr.. Bailey found many dead
deer, some of them apparently killed by
the wolves merely for the lust of killing
and others partly devonred. The agent
learned that in the spring after the melt
ing of the snow, hundreds of carcasses
of deer are found in the yards, the ami
mails having been killed by wolves dur
ing the winter.
Instructions are being issued by the
department to the inhabitants of those
portions of the country infested by
wolves as to the best method Of locating
and killing them. The breeding season
of the wolf is in the spring and the in.
structions indicate that the best time to
locate the dens is in May and June. The
people are urged to find the dens when
ever possible and destroy the pups. The
department officials who have investi-
gated the subjects are convinced that
only by the destruction of the wolves
can the determination of the deer be
prevented

Death of an old Veteran.

Mr.. A. w. Carey, aged rs years, died
very suddenly on May 22nd at his home
in Hot Springs. Mr.. Carey was an old
soldier and served three years in Co. b

to Custer county in 1880 and located on
a ranch on Battle river, where the fam
lily remained until 1904, when they NOV

so Mr.. Carey had been suffering from
stomach troubles. He leaves wife, one
son at Hermosa, and two daughters in

County Bridges.

The recent heavy rains have been
quite severe on the bridges in the coun-
ty, and in fact in all the counties and on
all the streams in the Hills. 1t is not
only so this year, but every year it is
the old old story. Last year we lost
twenty bridges on French creek carried
out by one freshet which subjected ira
velers to great inconvenience besides
entailing heavy expense on the coun-
ty This seems to the writer as largely
a needless expense and on account of a
wrong method of bridge building.
The writer has had some experience
in road repairs and bridge building of a
certain kind, having been a freighter
and wagon master in his earlier years.
Upon the strength Of our experience we
venture the assertion that bridges across
small streams like French creek can be
constructed to answer all purposes
which will not cost more than one quar-
ter the amount of money that our bridges
cost and guarantee that they will never
go out even in the highest water We
will explain briefly the kind of bridge
we mean by saying that to build a
cheap, safe and substantial bridge il
should be laid so low that the water al
any unusual stage will pass over it and
not under it. 1t should be weighted
down by rock on each end of the bridge
planks and considerable rock at the ap
proaches which should be graded back
and made gradual. Such bridge al
ways gives safe firm bottom for heavy
loaded wagons, and offers but slight re
sistance to the pressure of water and
always remains in its place.
Bridges are usually Carried away by
the drift wood, logs and debris which
comes floating down stream. Tbes,
come with such en- irresistible force as
to carry all before it. But low bridgs
such as here described would not be
affected as everything would pass owe

The little village of Seim in the north
eastern corner of Butte county is about
to take up its people, it's business, and
even some of its buildings and move
bodily twelve miles to the new townsite
on the Milwaukee extension. The news
paper, the bank, some of the stores, to.
gether with their proprietors and many
of the inhabitants, are making prepara-
tions to move at once. The new loca-
zion has no special advantage except
that it is on the line Of the railroad, and
will have direct communication with
the east and west. The hitherto pros
porous village of Seim will soon go to
help swell the large list os towns in the
west that have been killed by the rail-
roads; towns that were growing and
hourishing, until the establishment of q
rival townsite by the railroad completely
killed the original town.

Baseball can be played on Sunday and
admission charged. The referendum
has been invoked on the Sunday amuse-
ment law, and the law will not 90 into
effect until year from next November,
when the general election is held, and
not then if the voters of South Dakota
see fit to turn it down. A great deal OF
sentiment has been aroused over this
law, especially in regard to Sunday ball
playing, and undoubtedly an effort will
be made to defeat it.
