Threaten to Devastate Lake
Andes of Fish-Large
Flock.

Sioux City Journal: Pelicans are
causing grave alarm to the sportsmen
near Lake Andes, S. D., depicting the
lake of its fish supply, is the story of J.
w Eggers, editor of the Wagner Jour
nal, who was in Sioux City yesterday.
big white birds numbering perhaps
several hundred, apparently have made
their summer home OH the lake, y said
Mr.. Wagner They have been there
for some weeks. and it does not look
as if they have any longing for further
northern flight. They are voracious
feeders, living entirely on the fish, and
the way they have been going after the
bass and the other varieties threatens
to destroy the fishing entirely. 1t is
interesting to watch them, as they
form large circle and drive the fish
into some pocket, where they can dip
into the shallow water and get hearty
meal.
"The nimrods that, live near the
lake, and many who come there from
distance, have been making efforts to
drive them away, and although num-
Der have been shot, the flock appears to
be as large as ever There is some talk
of An organized effort either to drive the
industrious fishermen away from the
lake or kill the flock If something is
not done, l don't believe there will be
q fish left in the lake within six
weeks

RUSH OF STEAM.
Shows Water Has Reached the
Fire in Homestake
Mine.

Lead, May 18.-The cutpouring of
steam from the workings Of the Home
stake company is the most welcome
sight that has greeted the eyes of the
people Of this city for many months,
as it is conclusive evidence that the
water has at last reached the flames
and that it is now question of few
days only until the flames will have
been completely extinguished. Flood
ing of the mine commenced on the 22d
of April, almost a month after the fire
had broken out. and has been accom-
plished il a much shorter time than
was anticipated even by the most hope
full. There were 6S, 900, 900 cubic feet
of space to be filed, but there has been
almost no loss from seepage. The
water is now thirty feet deep on the
500 foot level, and as it is purposed to
food only to the 300foot level the task
is almost completed. The question
now is that of unwatering, and work
in this direction will begin in few
weeks. The company states that this
will not be expensive, and further, that
there are Sufnclenb IunuS Oh manu- 10
meet all of these expenses. The May
dividend was passed. the first time in
the history of the company for the past
twenty eight years that it has failed to
pay it's monthly dividend. The rea-
sons given were the loss from the shut
down incidental to the fire and the fact
that the company desired to preserve
the excellent financial condition in
which it found itself
