Mark Twain's story of His Life.

y
Mark Twain refuses to let his cap
tivating autobiography be published
in book form until after his death,
but Journalistic enterprise has come
to the rescue and we are TO have
Marks masterpiece after all He
has consented to let it appear as
serial. 1t has been secured at
enormous cost by the Sunday Mag
azine of the Chicago Record Herald,
which has a name for capturing big
prizes of this sort, such as Conan
Doyle's "Sir Nigel" and Kipling't
Sons of Martha
Thus it falls out that the readers
of the Sunday Record-Herald are to
have a delightful treat without ex-
ira cost. For months to come Mark
Twain will go on telling in his droll
way about the famous people he
has met, how he came to create
Colonel Sellers and Tom Sawyer,
and all the funny things that have
happened to him. The whole is to
be profusely illustrated The first
installment-in the issue of October
27-is accompanied by magnificent
portrait of the humorist. Every
body who likes Mark Twain will
want to read this great biography.

HARRY MILAN INJURED.
Premature Explosion of Dynamite
Has Serious Resu1ts.

mas SeflOllS Results,
AS the result of a premature ex-
plosion Of a stick of dynamite last
Sunday, Harry McLain, an employe
at the G. & N. w. gravel pit, re-
ceived injuries which probably
would have proven fatal had not
medical assistance been rendered
promptly.
The accident occurred near the
electric light plant, and spectators
who We're watching the movements
of McLain. from point above,
state that the man lighted the fuse
and the explosion followed immedi-
ately, tearing away the hand which
held the dynamite and partially af-
fecting the eyes Of the unfortunate
victim.
A tourniquet was applied to the
injured arm and upon reaching town
'Drs. Minty and Robinson dressed
the wounds, which are reported as
healing quite rapidly.

Back from Shoshoni.

B. V. Matson, son of Ole Matson,
and a graduate of the Rapid City
School of mines, has returned from
the Shoshoni country where he has
been engaged for some time past in
examining mining ground for var
ious prospective investors. He has
given consideral time to the differ
ent mineral properties of the dis
trict but was particularly interest
ed in the copper prospects. He
Iound some of them interesting, but
was obliged to turn down number
that did not satisfy him as being
worthy Of investment
On the whole Mr.. Matson believes
that the Black Hills copper prospects
are more deserving of attention than
those CT Shoshoni. The latter are
only prospects at the best and there
is no one property that can yet be
called mine. The more he sees of
the outside copper propositions, the
more he is convinced that the prop
CT development of the Black Hills
properties of the copper variety will
eventually be developed into big
producers. He went down to Rapid
City last evening where he will be
engaged for week Or more making
tests on samples he brought back
from the Shoshoni country.-Pionear

who was sentenced from Fall River

Northwestern Closes Big Tie Con-
tract, y

A deal that is attracting more
than passing attention was closed
this week at Belle Fourche, where
by w. II. Sutherland, a contractor
at that place, will furnish 100000
ties to the Northwestern railroad
people. The material will be OBJ
tanned in the Bear Lodge district,
part of the consignment going to
Aladdin, Wyo., and the remainder
to Belle Fourche. This lot will be
floated down the Belle Fourche
river, a feat never before attempted
in the history Of that stream.
Surmises as to the railroads in
tentions are numerous and the wise
ones are predicting that the tie con-
tract mentioned above is the first
tangible evidence Of the Northwest
ern's intention to commence opera
tions on a coast extension at the
earliest possible moment Alad-
din, Wyo., is situated in the heart
of the Wyoming coal fields, a fact
of especial significance, when it is
borne in mind that some of the ties
have been ordered to that point.

quired fee and to obtain an extension
of their permits will be required to
keep their stock within enclosures

Local hunters have been awaiting
the coming of November list with
growing impatience dring the past
week or two, for with it's advent, the
local deer season opens and the re-
port of the gun will re-echo among
the crags in the Limestone" and
other haunts Of the deer for the next
month.
Several parties from here have
made that region known as the
Limestone" their objective point and
judging from the quantities Of warm
clothing the nimrods took along,

weather in addition to the game,
each one expects to bag.
The local fishing season closed to-
day, and for time the finny tribe
will have an opportunity to recuper-
ate and get in shape for the trials
and tribulations next spring has in
store for them. In spite of unfavor-
able conditions, local disciples of the
rod have had exceptionally fine luck
this year, and the trout in Rapid
