People generally do not realize how
rapidly our country has developed, but
little study of the situation will make
it clear that our people have been doing
business. A recent publication of the
department Of Commerce and Labor
shows that in the year 1900 there were
62 persons to every square mile of ter.
ritory while at present with all the in
crease of territory that has been made,
there are 2S persons to the square mile.
In 1900 the per capita Of our money was
only S., now it is 1922. In 1900 if all
the wealth had been equally distributed
each person would have had 1907 while
now distribution on the same basis
would give each $3.50. When We come
to figure up what the possibilities are
within the next century ofdevelopment,
one is lost in higher mathematical calcu.

Railroads Nearly Completed.

Not many people of Rapid City or in
the Black Hills realize the nearness Of
the completion of the railroads to Rapid
City from the Missouri river. For
months it has been generally conceded
that the first railroad to be completed
from the east would be the Chicago &
Northwestern from Pierre for the reason
that this railroad had trains running to
the end Of the track from both the east
and west terminus. The road at the
time of the food had about twenty-five
miles of steel to lay to fill the gap, the
eastern line being completed to a point
about four miles west of Philip while
the western division had steel in place
to point about two miles east of Quinn,
leaving gap of about twenty-five miles
to be filed before that line would be
completed. The heavy food retarded
work on the western division on account
of a number Of washouts so that track
laying supplies could not be forwarded
to the front and over two weeks were
lost in getting the line between this city
and the Cheyenne river again in opera.
tion SO that tracklaying could be resum'
ed.
On the Chicago. Milwaukee and st,
Paul railroad it was different. East OF
the Cheyenne river there was no trou'
BILE from the high waters originating in
the Black Hills section, and the track
layers were kept on the move. At the
present time the rails are laid from the
east to the river, go that a gap of but
twelve miles remains to be filed until
Rapid City will be given another east
ern outlet for both passengers and
freight. A large force of men is engag
ed in building the bridge across the
Cheyenne river, and by the time The
tracklayers working eastward can reach
the river the bridge will have been com
pleted, and the first train will reach thin
city from the Missouri river. BY thu
middle of July, Rapid City will have ar
opportunity Of welcoming another grea
railroad into the Black Hills country.
The Northwestern line is also pushing
along and as like as not both roads vii
enter Rapid City the same day-RapiG

To Testify at Boise.

The Black Hills is now about to have
witness in the celebrated trial at Boise
City, Idaho, in the person Of w. H.
Grimshaw. The Telegram says
"R. +. Grimshaw will leave on the
Burlington tomorrow morning to testify
for the prosecution in the trial of Viii.
liam ID. Haywood, now going on at
Boise, Idaho.
"The prosecution is anxious to inves-
tigate the record of O'Neill, and all ol
the facts connected with the killing OF
Falyey at Central City in 1881, and will
probably seek TO show anything that
can be discovered detrimental to the
previous character Of O'Neill, who is
now editor of the Miners Magazine, the
official organ of the Western Federation
of Miners. O'Neii recently testified for
the defense. 1t is not known as yet
whether the prosecution will attempt to
impugn ONeill's testimony or not.
"Mr. Grimshaw lived in this country
at the time of the trial, knew O'Neill
well. having considerable dealings with
him in connection with politics, O'Neill
being, at that time, a spellbinder for
the republicans. O'Neill spoke for the
party at several places in the county
during the election preceding the shoot
ing of Falvey and created very favor
able impression on account of his ready
command of language and his nimble
wit.
More than that Grimshaw vas one
of the jury which found O'Neill guilty
and hence is quite conyersant with all
the facts in the case. He has been very
busy since receiving the wire getting
full report of the testimony which he
will take with him for use when giving
his evidence at Boise"

Destroyers Of Youth.

The anti.cigarette law passed by the
last legislature went into effect July lst
The law is about as stringent as it could
be made. One section reads:
"Any person who harbors any person
under 81 years Of age, or grants to them
the privilege of gathering upon or fire.
quenting any property held by him, fol
the purpose of indulging in the use Of
cigarettes, shall upon conviction be fined
in sum not to exceed $50 or imprison
ment in the county Jail not to exceed
thirty days. Provided, That this act
shall not be construed so as to interfere
with the rights of parents or guardians
in rearing or managing minors or ward;
| within the bounds of their own private
Judgment"
Another section reads:
"Any person within the state who
sells, gives to or in any way furnishes
any cigarettes in any form to any per.
son under the age of 81 years shall upon
conviction be fined in the sum of not
more than $50 or thirty days in the
county jail"
Another, and the most interesting sec.
ton reads:
"Any person under the age OF 81 years
who shall smoke cigarettes on any OF
the public streets or highways, or in any
public place, shall upon conviction be
subject to imprisonment in the county
Jail for a period of ten days" There is a
provision in this section which says that
sentence may be suspended if the party
caught smoking the cigarette will give
information against the party who sold
the cigarettes.
1t will thus be seen that the legisla-
ture surrounded the sale and use of Gig
arettes with safeguards that are going to
make it rather ticklish business for the
sale or giving away Of the same. And,
as good share Of the product is con-
sumed by youths of less than 2l years
in age, the new law will make big in
roads into the cigarette business in the
entire state.

A Game Worth Winning.

The best ball game of the season was
played Sunday last between Keystone
and Custer on the Keystone grounds
the final score, 4 to 0, showing the quail
ity of the playing.
1t was a game well worth seeing, and
one our team should be proud of win.
ming. The first shut out game in which
Custer ever played was won on strange
diamond, and from a good team, by a
score which indicates real ball playing
In the first six innings, there was but
one run. The Keystone boys were in
the game every minute, and deserve
congratulations upon the excellence OF
th cir work, for our boys batted we'll, and
there we're many chances accepted.
To our own players, too much praise
cannot be given. But four hits were
made off Heidepriem, and he faced only
thirty batters in the whole game. Only
one Keystone player rea ched third base
and only two others got as far as second
Ten batters were struck out. The sup
port was equal to the pitching. But one
error was made by Custer players ir
eighteen chances accepted. Every mar
on the infield took what came his way
and smothered it. There was no care
less work with the ball, no fumbling oil
overthrowing. Each man played sta
game. The outtield had little opportun
| ity, only two balls going to them, bu
both of these were nicely cared for b.
Layton in right. The catching, as usua
was Of the best.
Three double plays were made, one b,
Keystone and two by Custer. But on,
bit went for more than one base, tha
being secured by Eugene Courtney, ant
resulting in o score, after a sacrifice b,
Cottrell and a single by Pitcher.
A number of Obstetrics we're at tn,
game, and all agree that they were wei
repaid for their drive ever. Their pres
/ ence also encouraged the team, and tina
to marked extent.
Both of the games played with Ho
Springs by our team this week were VOL
by Custer, the 6rst with score of to
and the second 2 to 5. Both were fin
gumes, and our team evidently perform
cd creditably. A more complete accoun
will be givenin our next issue.

MINES AND MINING.

Charles Anderson, formerly connected
with the Auburn mine, near Mystic, is
the new Superintendent at the Saginaw
mine.
1t is again reported that the Standby
will start up for continuous run in
few days. We hope so, but it is tire
some to be made to cry wolf, wolf and
no wolf appear. too long and too often.
The next time we speak of it, it will be
after it has started.
The Saginaw mill building is up and
the workmen are at work placing the
machinery. The company are sinking a
shaft north of the main shaft, which
shows up wonderfully in free gold and
telluride. This is good news, as it gives
evidence that they will have plenty of
ore on the dump and in sight when the
mill is ready to run.

mine in the Transvaal has been selected
