sistant District Attorney Ham, to COM
nit Lane to an asylum, was denied by
Judge Dodge on the ground that the

Canton, S. D., Oct. 1.-THE question
OF replacing the Milwaukee depot at
this point is still a matter of great in
terest to Canton people and the travel
ing public. A few months ago the old
shack, which for years had done SER
vice at this point al a depot. was
burned, and a movement for the con-
struction of a fine new edifice was i'm
mediately taken up by the company.
The railroad officials asked for the
vacation of a street and h city coun-
Gil had promised to accede to this re-
quest. A large majority Of he Pesi-
dents interested Joined in the petition
for the vacation of the street and it
was supposed that all matters were
settled until 1t became known that the
company was planning the erection OF
a wooden structure. This did not
please certain parties and threats of the
referendum were freely INDUCED In,
with the result that the company with
drew it's workmen and stopped all
work on the new edifice.

when 1t is expected that h street will
be duly vacated n work resumed.

EALp MOUNTAIN ORE
INCREASES WITH DEPTH

Deadwood, S. D., Oct. 16.-Expora-
ton work that promises much for the
Bald mountain district is being prose-
cuted by several companies. The dis
trict has long been one of the most
prolific in the Black Hills. While most
of the ore has been a low grade, it's
production has been steady enough to
insure continuous working.
1t has not been until recently that
development took a deeper trend. The
result was what has long been prophe-
sled, the discovery Of larger and better
grade ore bodies as depth was attained.
Rather than pinching out, the ore has
been found to increase, and several
companies plan to go much deeper and
increase the scope of their work.
Among these Is the Portland and
Clinton properties, which are worked
jointly under the supervision of H. s..
Vincent. He is now driving O. big
working tunnel on the lower quartzite
and is in 400 feet. On the upper
quartzite alone there are $50, 900 tons
of ore of milling grade blocked out. Ex-
tensive sampling of this ore has shown
1t to average $3.50 a ton.
Besides these companies, the Impe-
rial, Reliance and Dividend are all ex-
ploring the lower quartzjte with favor
able results The Lundberg company
is beginning TO develop a vertical Of
blue quartz found on the Buxton claim.
