WILL TEST TAX LAW.

Judge Jones of the state circuit
court in Sioux Falls has been called
upon to determine an important ques.
ton, that of whether the county treas.
urers of the various counties of South
Dakota are entitled to 4 or / per cent
for the collection of city and school
taxes.
The suit was instituted as a test by
the board of education of Salem on a
writ of manGamus to compel the cOun.
ty treasurer of McCook county to turn
over to the treasurer of the board of
education all of the school tax money,
less l per cent. The practice in prac-
tically all of the counties of the state
has been for the county t~reasurers to
retain 4 per cen for collecting the
city and school taxes.
The 4 per cent commission is ex.
acted under a general law passed in
1877. The contention of the attorneys
representing the Salem board of edu.
cation is that under section 1865 of
the political code, county t~reasurers
are allowed to hold back only / per
cent of the city and school tax collec.
ted by them.
Judge Jones after hearing the argu.
ments in the case, took the matter
under adisement.

The Parmley Dad bill came up as a
special order and was amended 10 al

it was opened for reconsideration, the

The senate passed a number OF
minor bills and walked up two commit
tee reports on the divorce bill requir-
ing a years residence in the state and
three months in the county before ap

divorce hearings to be in open court.
This has been taken under the wing
of the South Dakota Civic Federation,
which was bombarding the members
with letters asking that il be forced out
of committee. Goodner, Dillon and
Dudley all opposed the bill as taking
away rights and after discussion IL
went over to Monday for final action.

IN SAND.

The deposits of black sands
throughout the Hills are of late re,
ceiving considerable attention, as
they have been found to contain sew.
eral are and valuable minerals.
These sands, occurring largely in
Rapid and Castle creeks, in Bear
Gulch and in Two Bit and Spruce
Gulch. in the old placer workings,
have been discovered TO contain the
best quality of iron ore for the mon".
facture of highest grade of steel. That
this steel can be turned out at a mini.
mum cost was demonstrated al the
Portland exposition, where an expe.
rimental electric smelter treated
quantities of similar sand from the
Pacific coast. Another valuable metal
contained therein is monozite, which
can be substituted for carbon calcite
in the manufacture of in~candescent
electric lights. Systematic prospect.
ing for this metal. meeting with more
or less success, has been done by
large electric companies.
