MINES AND MINING.

The Cordelia Mining Co. at Rockford
it is said is making excellent cleanup's
from their ten stamp mill and is pro-
nounced a success. This property is
situated near the mouth of Silver creek
and is owned by l.. NJ. Kearney of
Rockford.
The Ivanhoe Mining company have
paid off the men and have started up
anew on the first of May with force of
six men. This force will be added to
as fast as men can be worked to advan-
tage. DR.. Rate is still in the east but is
expected in few days.
There is said to be new and improv-
ed smelter recently invented and now
owned by r. S. Murray and l.. A. Tail.
lon of Ottawa, Canada. This smelter,
according to reports will save not only
the gold and silver but all the other
metals as well. We hope this is true.
1t is now announced that the Globe
mill with DIR. J. A. Ogden in charge will
be ready to start up about June lst.
There are many in Custer county who
have great confidence in Mr.. Ogden
and in the efficiency Of his process to
save the gold in our southern Hills ores
If he makes success Of saving the val.
ues contained in the phonolite ores Of
the Globe mine his process will become
very popular in the Southern Hills. We
await the trial.
The largest mining transaction which
has been pulled off in the northern Hills
for many years is the merging Of the
Columbus and Hidden Fortune, which
are now united in the name of the Col
umbus Consolidated. This includes 800
acres of mineral ground with vast
amount of development work, which
have disclosed large ore bodies of ore of
good grade which will soon be subject
to the grinding Of the mill. The capital
stock has been increased from S5,000,-
| 600 TO 100000.

Death of Chas. Mccormick Rogers.

Again we are called upon to chronicle
the untimely death Of a young man
who was compelled to lay down the bur
den before his sun had reached meridian
height. Mr.. Rogers was for time a
resident of Custer, but for several years
he has lived in Rapid City and other
towns in the Hills where he followed
the avocation of stenographer and an
artist, in both of which be exceled. His
death occurred at Rapid on the night of
the 4th of May, and he was brought to
the home of his mother and sister who
at present are residing at Oreyille, and
who are left to mourn his untimely de.
parture from the scenes of earth. The
funeral was held at the residence in
Oreville, and he was buried in the Gus
ter cemetery on the 9TH, Rev. Katherine
Powell officiating.
Chas. Rogers was bright and talent
ed man of fine education and gentle
manly ways. The sympathy of many
friends in this community goes out to
the bereaved mother and sister, and
other relatives of the deceased. 1t
should be consoling and comforting
thought that we live in an age when we
can ascertain to a certainty that death
does not end all, and that we shall meet
again.
Mr.. Rogers was born in Brooklyn, n.
Y, Sept. 7th, 1866, and was in his 41st
year at the time of his death. Brooklyn
had always been his home until about
five years ago when he came with his
mother to reside in Custer. The sur
viving relatives are Mrs. Erme Rogers
his mother. Mrs. August Gundlach with
her husband and three children, and
Mrs. ID. w. Webster who were all pres.
ent at the funeral.
He was the son of the late Frank Rog.
ers, an eminent and we'll known civil
engineer of Brooklyn, n. Y, and was
the last male member of the family.

The Cost of Living,

Statistics on the increased cost of liv-
ing are given in bulletin issued by the
department of commerce and labor. For
seventeen years the government has
conducted an investigation of wholesale
and retail prices. The present investi-
CATION shows that wholesale prices
reached higher level in 1906 than at
any other time during the seventeen
year period covered.
The average for the year 1906 was SO
per cent higher than for 1905; 365 per
cent higher than that for 1897, the year
of lowest prices, and pa per cent high
er than the average for the ten years
from 1890 to 1899. Prices reached their
highest point in December, 1906, the
average for that month being Al pei
cent higher than the average for the
year 1906 and 6.3 per cent higher than
the average for December, 1900.
Only two groups of commodities, farm
products and drugs and chemicals show
ed decrease in price for 1906 as COM
pared with 1905. The decrease was .
and 7.2 respectively. Food increased

MAY Weather.

In his weather forecasts for May Rev.
Erl K. Hicks, the st. Louis weather pro-
phet says: A regular storm period runs
from the 10th to the 18th, central on the
18th. On the same date, moon is in
conjunction with earth and sun, making
this whole storm period also a time of
great seismic probability, notably on or
within two days of the 10Th. We will
name Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, the
18th, 18th and l4th as central dates of
severe storm probabilities. Warm hum
id atmosphere, with low barometer and
southerly winds, should cause apprehen.
sion and watchfuness in the face of
gathering storm clouds at this time. If
the Mars period should have proven
cold prior to this period in any part Of
this or other continents, such sections
northward will have unreasonable cold,
with probable snow and sleet and frost,
in the areas of west winds and rising
barometer behind these storms. Such
change to cooler will start in the north
ward about the 18th, and spread pro.
gressively eastward-southeast dur
ing the l4th to 18th.

Changes IN School Laws.

A dispatch from Sioux Falls states
that while in the city on a visit, Ii. A.
Ustrud, state superintendent of public
instruction gave an outline ofthe changes
which the last legislature made in the
school laws regarding boards of educa-
| ton.
1t was generally known that change
was made in the law, but it was thought
by many that the change was in connec-
tion with the Galveston plan of govern
ment and would not be operative unless
the Galveston plan was adopted. State
Superintendent Ustrud states that this
is an incorrect impression. He states
that the school board clause was elimin-
ated from the Galveston plan as adopt
ed by the legislature, but that an amend
ment to the school law provides that
after July /, next, the membership of
boards Of education like the boards in
Sioux Falls, now consisting of thirteen
members, will be cut to five members
and that instead of being elected by
wards or districts, as vas the case under
the former law, the five members will
be elected at large.
In other words, next year the entire
thirteen members Of the board of edu-
cation retire from Office, and in their
places will be elected the five members
who, under the new law, will constitute
the board. The members of similar
boards in Sioux Falls and other cities of
the state will hold Office until the third
Tuesday in June of next year, when the
board of five members will be elected
State superintendent Ustrud states fur
ther that the changing of the date for
the holding of the school board election
from April to June was for two purposes
First it was thought best to get the
school election separated from the regu.
lar municipal elections and second there
has been considerable discussion and
friction on the different boards regard
ing which, the old or the new, had the
right to select teachers for the second
year. With the election held in June, a
number of weeks after the regular mum
icipal election, it will devolve upon the
old board to secure the teachers for the
next school year.

DIBBLE's SLIME FILTER.

The advent of the Dibble Centrigal
Slime Filter promises to be one of the
greatest boons to the mining interests of
the Black Hills of any solution.slime
separating scheme that has been intro
duCed in recent years. 1t is machine
that by the use of centrifugal force will
instantly and successfully separate the
clear solution or liquid from shines or
fine sands, at a cost of not over two or
three cents ton. 1t is automatic from
beginning to end, with stream of mill
tailings passing continually in one place,
with the clear solution passing out at
another, while the separated sands or
shines pass to their respective place and
are conveyed or sluiced away, as most
convenient. The machine is very sim.
pie and easy TO construct, when compar-
ed to the manufacture of the high priced
machinery it bids fair to displace. A
model of the machine has recently been
constructed and it's practicability thor
oughly demonstrated to al who have
witnessed its operations, and is exciting
much interest among those who have
seen the scheme of centrifugal force
worked out.
1t has proven to be neither myth nor
theory but an invention that will awak-
en- practical and scientific mining men
of the world when ifs canahilities ara
fully realized, and in time will find its
way into every reduction works of the
world.
II. d. Dibble, of Mystic, is the author
of the invention. He is a chemist of
recognized ability, a practical mining
man, competent miIlman, and deep
student of machinery, with many pat.
ents to his credit His abilities in all
these lines have been highly recognized.
