Central Black Hills.

The Central Black Hills are about to
have their innings in the game of gold
production, and, we note with pleasure
the many Improvements now being
naugurated to that end. The Golden
West is running steadily on an immense
ore body Of profitable grade and will
soon increase their capacity from 80 to
$50 stamps
The Montezuma having struck a new
vein of excellent ore and of dimensions
has ore enough in sight to justify a mill
and it is announced that the company
will during the summer build mill of
100 stamps.
The Standby company has announced
that they will start up the mill on the
They will run by water power during
the summer but contemplate putting in
steam power in time for winter work
when the water in the flume is frozen.
The Standby is low grade proposition,
but they are prepared to meet that con-
dition as we are told that the expense
for mining and milling will not exceed
60c per ton. There is nothing thatsuc-
ceeds like success" and these companies
starting up has stimulated others who
own good ground in that district, and it
is probable that other mills will be added
during the season, and the Rockford dis
| trict will exhibit bee hive of mining
industry during the year 1907. 1t is an
illustration of the old saying that one
calls two, and two calls four, but fail
ure and shut down reverses the rule
and a "bIack eye" to the whole camp is
the result.
1t has been to common in the past to
class the mining district of Lawrence
county as the northern Hills, and all
south of the Dumont divide as the south
ern Hills. 1t is time now for the Roch
ford country to assert itself and have il
understood there is central Hills Thi.
to Us means all that country that i:
drained by the waters of Rapid and Cas-
tie creeks. as they pass through the min
eralized portion ofthe Hills. tits fitting
too that it be thus designated, as there
is physical as well as a Biographies
difference and it is this. In the north
ern Hills the igneous, or intrusive rocks
which seemingly governs the mineral
ization is porphyry. In the central Hill
it is hornblende, and in the southern
Hills there is no porphyry, but tn,
whole district is marked by vast anC
continuous dikes of granite Which o
these is superior as mineralizing agen
does not yet appear, but they produce {
vast difference in the character of th,
ore in the different sections of the coun
try. Nevertheless our interests are iden
tical, and we rejoice in the upbuildin,
of all parts Of the commonwealth as 81
!, to speak we are all members of one fam
/ lily and should do all we can to help eacl
other and stand together.

A Permanent Board

Under the new law which goes into
effect July /, teachers papers of all
grades must come to the office of the
state superintendent of education for
marking. With that change, instead of
two examinations year one will be
held each month through the fall sea-
son. The dates fixed for such examina-
tions are August Is l6, September l2.l3,
October l7.lS, November 81 %, The
change will mean great deal more
work in the department, as the third
grade applications exceed all others
which have in the past come to the state
board for marking.
The county superintendents meeting
will be held at Sioux Falls, June 9th and
9TH.
Under the new plan of markings of
papers. permanent board has been Sc
lected for that work, consisting of the
Office force of the superintendents de
partment; and Prof J. F. Orander OF
Brookings; Miss May Farrell of Moody
county; and Miss Mabel Dempster OF
Sioux Falls.

Woman's Work on a Ranch.

A special dispatch from Custer to cas-
tern papers under date of April 18th
says: One of the pluckiest girls in all
the West is Miss Amy Gurney, county
perintendent of schools of Custer coun-
ty. Miss Gurney is little woman, with
modest air, not at all indictive of her
bravery and cool-headedness AS this
county is not thickly settled and as
there are not great number of schools,
the county superintendent has consider
able spare time on her hands. Miss
Gurney spends her time looking after
her cattle ranch, located some fifteen
miles from town in picturesque, rocky
draw known as Helps Canon. The bit
of a house sits down well in the gulch,
through which flows rapidly running
stream of clear water where the stock
come to water. Stretches of smooth
park lands near by make ideal grazing
land for the stock.
A short time ago Miss Gurney, was as
usual, spending some time alone on her
ranch, fully six miles from neighbors
One afternoon while at work near the
house she was startled by cry of agony
almost human in its intensity. Turning
quickly in the direction from which the
sound came, she saw a splendid horse
with nostrils dilated with fright, plung-
ing frantically up the gulch, closely pur-
sued by two tremendous gray timber
wolves. The horse made directly for
the corral, the bars of which were up.
With speed which was marvellous,
Miss Gurney gained the corral before
the frenzied brutes reached it, let the
horse in, and secured him from further
attacks.
1t was but few days afterwards that
the little county superintendent discov-
cred fire in the upper story other house.
Her first thought was to telephone to
her neighbors, but she soon realized
that long before they could reach her,
the house would be totally destroyed.
Selling two buckets she hurried to the
spring, and back and forth for two hours,
carried water, putting the flames out in
one place, only to see them leap forth in
another. Her plucky fight was not, how
ever, in vain, for alone and obliged to
carry in buckets every bit of water, she
succeeded in suppressing the fire and in

Mining Items.

Samples of ore taken from the drift
eight feet from the foot wall in the
Crown vein in the Hornbende district
west of Rockford, were assayed recently
at the school of mines at Rapid City.
The assay value was $2S93 per ton,
mostly free gold.
The Downie-W Wright company of Ra-
pid have recently shipped to the Globe
mine at Deadwood one of their new
Chilian mills. These improved mills
have six wheels and are said to far ex-
Gel the old style and if so they must be a
very effective mill indeed.
The strike of the mines at Goldfield
which has lasted for seven weeks has at
last been settled and the miners have
returned to work. 1t was compromise
settlement, the miners getting part OF
what they asked for but not all. There
was strong pressure pointing to set
tlement on both sides from the fact that
the mine owners needed the workmen
and needed them bad, and the miners
needed employ yment because they were
out of grub.

The band of Ute Indians numbering
about 400 that strayed away from their
reservation in eastern Utah, it will be
remembered were rounded up
and taken to Fort Meade last fall. The
Indians say they could not live on their
reserve as between the Mormons on the
one side and the miners on the other
they were robbed and their game killed
and driven off and they were on the
point of starvation. They were kept
through the winter at the Fort, fed and
clothed, but it became an embarrassing
question with the government what TO
do with them. 1t has been decided to
place them temporarily on the Chey-
enne River reservation and this will
probably be their home for while

THE RANGE LAW,

The decision of the supreme court in
the case of George Moore VS.. Per Per-
son, says Pierre dispatch of April 20,
was brought into the supreme court to
test the old laws which gave a different
trespass code to the west side ofthe river
than that which prevailed on the east
side of the stream. When the case was
up for argument the attempt was made
to secure ruling on the constitutional
ity of the statute in question, but the de-
cision of the court is based on the fact
that when the statute was passed provid-
ing for free range west of the river it
specifically named a number of counties
in which that law should be effective.
A later enactment attempted to apply
this same law to any unorganized coun-
ties in the state as well as to counties
organized after 1885, but the court holds
that so long as specific territory was not
named, the law could not be made to APP
ply to Lyman county, the county in
which the suit was brought. The deci-
sion would also effect Stanley as we'll as
Lyman, and portions of Pennington and
Meade counties, The counties which
were included in Butte county under the
consolidation act, were specifically nam
ed, and such decision would not apply
to that county
But this decision has been practically
nullitied by the law of the last legisla-
tive session, in case that law should be
held good by the supreme court on
test. The new law applying to all coun-
ties of the state, and allowing the peo-
pie of any county who so desire to se-
cure the submission to a vote of the peo-
pie of the county, the questions of free
range or herd law. This enactment was
secured as a compromise between the
contending forces from west Of the river,
one side desiring a complete wiping out
Of the free range, and the other desiring
it to be continued and the result Of the
present situation indicates that the
rangement, as under the present deci-
sion of the supreme court their privi.
leges would be at an end at the present
time, while under the new law they
hold their privileges until a vote is ta-
ken, and take their chances on being de-
feated.
In the meantime petitions are being
circulated in Lyman county to bring the
matter to vote at the special election to
be called for that purpose, and the set
tlement of the question in that way.
The stockmen also say the settlers are
getting the best Of them by chasing their
stock with dogs, and keeping them on
the run most Of the time. Although it
now looks as if the different factors in
the situation will soon leave the coun-
try to the farmer and dairyman, and the
range steer will be seen no more in South
Dakota.

Capt. Chas. A. Haserodt Dead.

few days ago Judge A. T. Feay re-
ceived letter from Mr.. d. ]. Sullivan,
dated at Kalama, Washington, April 49,
This letter stated that Capt. Haserodt
had been suffering from a frozen toe and
as he was getting worse they took him
to st. Vincent's hospital at Portland,
where he had the toe amputated. 1t
did not heal as it should and he was
growing weaker and it was thought he
could not survive many days.
Later, Judge Feay received telegram
dated April 23rd stating that Captain
Haserodt died at o'clock that morning.
His daughter Gussie, and grand daugh-
ter Margurite were with him, and every :
thing was done that could be done to
relieve bin of his suffering but it was
no use.
And thus passes away another of the
old pioneers of the Hills, and an old
time resident of Custer, having resided
here since the spring of 1876 with the
SACCPtiuh Vi dOOub wv ySdlo cpohe III
| Deadwood.
Capt. Haserodt was a soldier in the
war of the rebellion, and for meritorious
action and acts of bravery was raised to
the command of captain. After the
war he came to Omaha and kept the
| Atlantic Hotel until he came to the
Hills in 1876. Mrs. Haserodt died in
| Custer some years ago, and his two
daughters who survive him are married
of the daughters, Mrs. Ward, resides at
San Diego, CAL, and the other, Mrs. D
J. Sullivan, at Kalama, Washington, anC
it was with the latter daughter he wai
visiting when he was called away from
the scenes Of earth at the ripe age of Il
years.

Tom McKean In CharRe.

1t was stated this morning that Mar
ion Moor, who has been representing
the Western Federation of Miners at
Terry during the misunderstanding be.
tween the miners and mine owners, will
leave The country tomorrow morning
going to Bisbee, Arz. 1t was further
stated that Tom Mexican, president of
the Terry Miners union had been ap.
pointed to act as the member Of the ex.
ecutive board of the Western Federation
in the place of Mr.. Moor, and he will
have charge Of affairs at Terry so far as
they relate to the present difficulty Mr..
Mexican is au enthusiastic union man,
level.headed and of acknowledged exec
utive ability, and his appointment to
the position vacated by Mr. Moor gives
cause for hope that the troubles 0etween
the men and the mine owners will be
speedily adjusted. He has been in the
district for long number of years, and
| during the time he has been employed
there he has gained the confidence and
respect of everyone in it, so it is more
| than probable that his energies and his
| intelligence will be directed toward a
settlement of the controversy. Lead

The rapid settlement of the country
west Of the Missouri river is crowding
the stockmen and they are calling on
the government for leases on grazing
land. This privilege should be, and
probably will be accorded them, as there
is vast amount of land of such char
acter as to make it unfit for cultivation
and undesirable for settlement. In the
interest of economy there should be an
arrangement whereby all the land should
be brought into use and for the purpose
for which it is best adapted.

There is movement in portion of
the northwest to carve out new com.
monwealth, and to put new state on
the map. This new state will consist of
portion of east Washington, northwest
Oregon, western Montana and northern
Idaho. If the country was comparative
ly level, there would be no call for this
change but it is not. 1t is mountainous
and the facilities for communication and
transportation are such that it is consid.
cred too irksome and expensive toreach

necessary to establish better facilities

AT THE STANDBY.

On the first of May it is probable that
the Standby mine at Rockford will be
started up and the milling plant placed
in condition for long run James
Baker, the principal owner of the prop
erty and its general manager is expect
ed from California in short time, and
when he gets here work will begin. The
Standby is one of the oldest mines in
the Hills, and has upon it one of the
best milling plants in the country, now
that it has been overhauled and brought
up to date and one of the finest water
powers. Last fall, while work was be-
ing prosecuted in the mine a fine body
of free milling ore, carrying excellent
values was uncovered, and it is from
this ore body that the material for the
mill to work on will be taken, although
in the old workings there is an immense
amount of ore of good grade. The new
ore body has been opened up on the
mill level, and it will be an easy matter
to work it and get out the rock.-Lead

Col. j. A. Clark, agreeable to promise
has started the work on the Dorothy
and on the Pettigrew tunnels on his
mines near Keystone. They are al
ready into the mountain 1l5 feet in each
of these mines and the work will be
continued to cut the large ore bodies
further in. In addition to this they are
excayating for an air compressor oflarge
capacity, and it begins to look as if the
Col. bad a company that meant busi-
ness. That's the way to do it.
Manager A. b. Crocker of Hill City
has started the work on the old j. r.
mine and will continue to sink the shaft
which has now attained depth of $50
feet. Five stamps will be added to the
present five, making an up to date ten
stamp mill. The j. r. has been grand
producer in days gone by and as the
ore we understand has been found again
in the lower workings we see no reason
why Hill City should not have another
paying institution right at her doors.

Mr.. G. f. Hart, of the Hartwell Min
ing company, arrived in Custer a few
days ago and drove out to the mine. He
was accompanied by a Mr.. Downing
who we understand is an influential
stockholder in the company. The COM
pany has crew of men running tun-
mel nto the mountain to cross cut the
formation and strike the main vein fur
ther in. Mr.. Hart says the force will be
increased at the mine and its merits dis
closed. This is the old Caledonia mine
by which it is known to the old timers.
Mr.. Sam Scott has laid upon our table
a specimen of mineral which is new and
in fact the first we have seen in the
Black Hills. 1t is a piece of white
quartz thickly studied with crystals that
are black and shining, something in APP
pearance like cassiterite but more bril-.
liant. 1t looks too something like the
crystals of hornblende and somewhat
like tourmaline but it is neither of these.
1t is called "Epidote" and has no value
so far as we are aware except as gem
stone for which the most perfect crystals
are used This makes 10l kinds of min
era found in the southern Hills.
