marks where colonial patriots died and

$50 feet, making 1t the Hottest shaft In
this country excepting the Washington

sessions at Hot Springs. The educa-
ton committee submitted its report
in regard to the location OF an acad-
envy in the Black Hills, which was

property of the old Black Hills col
lege here. This property can be
bought for s13, 900, and Hot Springs
has raised its bonus to $1,000. 1t au-
thorized a committee, consisting Of

of the mission; Hon. E. w. Martin, j..
A. Stanley and S. f. Wilson, to act
in conjunction with William Seaman

to the extent of $4,000 1t was after
midnight before the fire was put un-
der control. Three buildings, togeth-
err with their stocks of goods, We're
practically destroyed. 1t is believed
that a quantity of dynamite kept in
stock was Jared, causing it to ex-
plode. Another theory is that escap-
ing gas was ignited, setting fire to the
building, thus causing the dynamite
to go off. The shock OF the explosion
was felt for several miles, II hun
dreds of windows were broken.

Chicago Packer Secures 10000 Acres
and VIII Try New Experiment.
Great possibilities in the cattle ship
ping industry at Rapid City have been
opened up through the leasing by Mel
son Morris, the Chicago packer, Of
more than 100000 acres of grazing
land northeast of here on the Stand
ing Rock Indian reservation. For
nearly ten years this land has been
controlled or a lease by the at" cat
tie outfit, whose bid for renewal was
a fraction of a cent per acre less than
of Morris.
Five years ago tbs at" people fenced
the land, and for years have had sew
eral large droves of cattle on this
range, but with the coming of Morris
this number is to be largely increased.
Morris owns much land in Texas, and
always has grazed his cattle here.
Since securing this lease in South Da-
kota he has moved 5000 Of his cattle
here, and intends to bring in many
other herds as soon as possible. This
is the first instance where Morris ever
has fed any OF his big cattle holdings
In the North, and the result will be of
considerable interest to cattlemen.
This tract that Morris has secured
is one o fthe finest in the Northwest.
1t is we'll watered and close to the
Evarts trail land is not accessible to
outsiders for grazing purposes, owing
to its fencing. The lease is to run foe
five years, and in case it is not re-
newed. the fencing, which is more
than 800 miles in length, will revert to
the Indians.

Ina some of the yeggmen have turn
ed their attention to robbing post
offices is shown by the fact that the
postoftice at Darwin was entered a
few nights ago and stamps to the
value OF 1925 were carried away. On
the same night Christianson's drug
store and one of the hardware stores
at Bryant were b~urglarized, goods to
the value of about $500 being carried
away by the thieves.

Both Valuations and Assessments Are
Lowered.
Bank stock valuations were reduced
this year by the state board more than
half a million dollars from the returns
sent in by the counties on that class
of property. They also are assessed
in the aggregate 1880 0 less for 1907
they were assessed for the year
1906. From the returns made to the
state Aurora county citizens hold none
OF that class of property, as no bank
stock was returned.
For a number of years it has been
an established custom to fix the valu-
atoms of bark stock at so per cent of
its par value, without regard to its
selling value. This custom has become
SO we'll understood that thirty-one out
of fifty-two counties in the state made
their return at that figure this year.
For some reason the state board de-
clded upon a change in basis of as
sessment and took 40 per cent as the
base to work from, and this makes
the reduction from last year, with a
higher return from the counties. The
county returns showed a valuation on
such property at $2,SS0,S 500; and the
work of the state board left it at 3d.
33S, $50.
The extremes of the returns were
Aurora county with no bank stock,
and Buffalo county with a return at
100 per cent of its value.
