TIE ANTI-PAss LAW.

The following is the new state law for
bidding the use of free transportation on
railroads in South Dakota:
An act to regulate, restrain and pro.

Unions Reject Terms.

The mine owners of the Bald Noun
tain district have submitted PROPOSE
ton TO the miners unions to settle the
strike. Below we give a copy Of the
proposition which at meeting of the
miners was unanimously rejected. The
signs we regret to say are not favorable
to a settlement yet:
Working day at the mines shall be
eight hours at the faces. Men to be
ready to work at starting time and holes
to be spitted at quitting time. No short
shift

fix the hour at which work shall com.

Mining Items.

The Saginaw Mining company have
been busy during the week cleaning up,
making some necessary repairs and get.
ting ready to commence stopeing ore
from the l3 foot vein disclosed in the
west drift. 1t is said that this ore will
average better than $1,000 per ton.
Manager l. w. Herber is still at the
mine.
The subject of black sand has some
what subsided here, but the investiga-
ton of that commodity for platinum is
still kept up on the Pacific coast, and
like Bancho's ghost, ''it will not down"
There is platinum in the black sand OF
French creek also, but there is more in
the ore from the quartz mines, and it is
to these we must look for profit in the
future. This is no joke but veritable
fact as the writer has proved, but it
takes a skillful chemist to make the ex.
traction.
Report comes in that Mr.. Henry Pill.
ger has struck it rich in the Caledonia
mine which is at present in his charge.
We could not learn the particulars as to
the size Of the vein, or the exact amount
per ton, but we make no question that
the report is correct so far as the assay
returns show that the ore is very rich.
We are not disposed to question this as
we predicted years ago that the Gale
donia would yet develope into one of
the richest mines in Custer county
This is the mine that old man Beuter
owned, and he lived and died on the
ground.

One of the most important bills of the
session comes from the committee on
judiciary, says a dispatch from Pierre
under date of February 23rd. 1t pro-
poses to increase the number ofsupreme
court judges from three to five, and for
this purpose redistricts the state. One
of the new districts will comprise that
part of the state lying south ofthe south
ern boundary of Dawson county and
taking in with it the new counties of
Gregory, Tripp and Meyer on the west
of the river. A new judge will naturally
be supplied from this district.
Judge Haneys district will extend to
the northern line of Lake and Miner
and on through west, taking in also Ly-
man on the west of the river.
Judge Fuller's district will extend to
the Northern boundary of Duel, taking
in also Sphinx, Faulk, Potter and Camp.
bell and Stanley on the west side of the
| river.
Another new district will be formed OF
the balance of the state lying north OF
Fuller's district, including the counties
of Boreman, and Dewey and Schnasse
on the west side of the river.
Judge Corsons district will take in the
big county of Butte on the north, now
sparsely settled, but while he will have
the smallest of the districts from the
standpoint of population, settlement viii
equalize it.
There is said to be some politics in
yolved in the boundaries of the districts
as provided in this bill, which will ap
pear as the discussion of the measure
proceeds. 1t is probable that another
formation of districts will appear if the
parties interested can get committee
report favoring such bill.

The anti-treating bill has been killed
in the lower house of our legislature,
and although it may pass the senate it
is probable that it will not be made a
law at this session. 1t is foolish piece
of legislation as we view the matter,
easily evaded AMI would only add an
other to the many foolish laws that now
cucumber our statutes. Every law
should be enforced, and all those laws
which are impractical and nonsensical,
should be expunged from our statutes.

The above letter from the Rev. Father
will be of interest to his many friends in
Custer and shows that the Fathers at
tention is not entirely taken up with
spiritual affairs, but that he has an eye
to the temporal as we'll 1t would be
well if all the clergy were thus practical.
1t is said that he is a benefactor to the
race, who makes two blades of grass to
grow where only one grew before. By
the same rule he is benefactor who
causes two ounces of gold to be produc.
ed where only one was produced
before. 1t seems that the Father is
trying to do this, but whether he will
succeed as he hopes is still an open
question. 1t is our opinion that the de-
tails of the process requires too much
manipulation, and unless it can be sim
plifed it will hardly pay as applied to
low grade gravel. OF course We as a
community are interested in all inven-
tions that will increase the output or les.
sen the expense of production of the
precious metal from our mines. Still,
we must remind the Father that the in
vention of mining machinery is a well
wrought field, and there are hundreds
of new inventions along this line that
have been relagated to the scrap pile as
failures. We hope the Father will not
ind it so in this case, but we are from
/ Missouri and must be shown.

terial for profitable lumber operations

The method of getting out mahog-
any in the Honduras forests are primi-
tive. The climate of the country is
tropical and the forests low lying and
Swampy. Only eight weeks in a year
are available for moving the cut from

done solely by oxen, its rapidly may

Mahogany is abundant, but the diff

investigating the methods of handling
timber in the southern yellow pine dis
tricts. and If we can adapt them to tbs
| woods OF Honduras the problem OF the
mahogany industry in Honduras will
have been solved.
The system of labor with which we
have TO contend down there Is peculiar
too. Laborers are hired for one year.
under contract which calls for three
months wages to be paid them in add

The men go to the woods and re-
main there until Christmas. Then they

the men return to the forests.
This refers only TO the common la
borers. The numbering of mahogany
requires the services of expert woods
men. who are paid according to the
tasks they accomplish.
Mahogany trees do not grow in
clusters, but are scattered throughout
the forests and are hidden in dense
growths of underbrush. vines and
creepers. 1t requires a skillful woods
man to find them.
He seeks the highest ground in

tree and surveys the surrounding
country. The mahogany tree has

tree will take two men a day to fell

THE trees have large spurs which

scaffolds must be erected so the tree

THE mahogany hunter has nothing
to do with the telling or removing OF
the tree. His duty is simply to locate
it. Often he may earn -, much as
$1,000 in month. as he is paid by the
tree. but then again he may prospect
for weeks. without detecting an avail
able tree.
Mahogany commands big price in
the markets to which it is exported,
