Slack HlIls Sending Out More Bullion
Than Ever.
There Is at the present time moro
gold being shipped out Of the Black
Hills than for many years past. Here
tofore the average monthly shipment
has been about $500 including
the Homestake, but at the present
time the figure is nearer l 1000, 900
every thirty days, which will be ma
terially added to by the output of the
Gilt-Edge-Maid, Branch Mint and
Globe, whose first c%leanups will be
made this month. BY Jan. ! of the
coming year the output of the white
Hills will be over one million a
month, and when the Hills are COM
pleted this figure should be brought
to nearly n and ~one-quarter million.
Practically all Of this bullion is
shipped to Philadelphia through the
United States assay office here, but
has always been done so quietly that
it attracted no attention. An innova-
ton In this line has just been started
with the appearance of armed guards
who escort the bullion between the
assay and express Offices and then on
the train.
The Homestake Mining company
has practically adopted a new drill
that has Deer tested for the past two
weeks. 1t is an electric air drill,
Temple pattern, and an improvement
on the regulation Ingersoll, as it fur
nishes its own compressed air. Dur
in gthe test the drill is said to have
accomplished considerably more work
in a day than any other drill company
has ever tried. BY reason Of having
its own motive power 1t can be read

have been made, and the run from
now on Is expected to be continuous.
The mill has a total capacity OF 800
tons daily. which will be worked up

suspected of the crime is +. A. Bowen.
While it was first stated that the
woman was killed by having her head
crushed, the physicians examination
at the inquest showed that death was
caused by a pistol shot, the ball en-
tering her head just back of the ear.

Parson MarrIes Widow After Many

Over a Of years ago, when he
first came to Deadwood as a young
missionary from the East, Rev. George
Perry, then the first Presbyterian
clergyman in the Black Hills, met Mrs.
Katherine Lane Of WhitewoOd. Mr..
Perry had his work cut out and stuck
to it nobly, enduring many privations
during the early days, that the dozen
churches he established in that section
might thrive, and he succeeded.
A a few days ago Rev. Perry surpris-
ed his old friends by leading Mrs.
Lane, a comely and well-to-do widow,
to the altar, and before they could re-
ceive congratulations they made their
escape on a Southern honeymoon.
Mrs. Lane is a large ranchowner.

ENEMIES WRECKED TRAINS.

Crouch Line Is Victim of Murderous
Vandais.
Secret enemies who, In seeking to
hamper the operations OF the road,
have already caused two fatal wrecks,
in each of which one life was lost,
and cost thousands Of dollars in dam
age, is the sensational statement of
one OF the officials of the Missouri &
Northwestern railroad running be
tween Rapid City and Mystic. made
at the end of a lengthy investigation.
The operation of these persons who,
it is said. are suspected, but still un-
known. have bafled the roads au-
thorities, so ~cleverly was the work
done, but expert detectives who now
are on the case, expect to unravel the
mystery.
Certain little peculiartties in the
wrecking of two of the company's
trains during the last few weeks
caused the officials to suspect that
some n was purposely trying to
harm them. Then it is said 1t was
discovered that the last wreck. caused
by the burning of a bridge, was the
direct result Of the work Of an incen-
diary. This was followed a few days
later by the burning Of a locomotive
left on the tracks over night. after its
machinery had been, deliberately
broken and twisted out of shape. Still
later the gasoline motor was visited
during the night and left a mass of
ashes.
Spikes have been lifted from rails:
switches turned as though by acct
dent. and one by one the incidents of
the last few weeks are being shown
the work of spite or a maniac. The
Crouch line. as the railroad is known,
has been operating less than a year,
and has operated its t~hirty-nine miles
Of track under a constant hoodoO. 1t
is controlled principally by capitalists
in Cleveland. Ohio.

Indian allotment. Owing to e~xtenuat-

The two men who recently had ar
rived in South Dakota from Iowa

Philip in the western part of Stanley
county, near the boundary line Of the
Cheyenne Indian reservation. Not re-
allzlng that they were violating the
federal statutes, they went a short
distance into the reservation to land
which had been allotted to individual
Indians, and cut timber with which
to construct their claim 'shanties."

Complaint then was made to the fed
