IRON IN TIL HILLS
RICH DEPOSIT OF THE MIN
ERAL NEAR RAPID
on CROUCH LINES
Prospects Have Been Developed
and Mine is to be Put in
Operation

Few people there are who
know that there are 100 acres
of iron ore within about twelve
miles of Rapid City. 1t is,
however up the Crouch Line,
about that distance, contingent
and near to Big Bend. It is no
new discovery by any means
for its development has been
going quietly forward for more
than a year past. A reporter
Of the Union was shown this
week a series Of correspondence
by one Of the members Of this
developing company which, by
the way, is made up of Frank
Lockhart, DR.. Gilbert and
Charles Fallon of this city,
This correspondence is from
eastern parties who last year
passed upon the assay Of the
ore and who made propositions
anent Incorporating the mine
|and development and early
working during the year. The
assay Of the ore by several ex-
perts, one OF them a practical
iron man Of Michigan, seems to
indicate that this ore is espe-
cially adapted to the making of
armor plate, having all the pc
culiar qualities and adaptation
along that line. The Downie-
Wright iron works people of
Rapid City, who sometime
since gave this ore a test, are
arranging to cupalo a large
body Of this ore in the near fut-
llre with a view to finally deter
mining its value, The Downie-
Wright Company now pro-
nounce the ore an at.once mar
ketable product and insist that
they will prove the same be-
yond all reasonable doubt with
their test.
If it proves to be an iron
adaptable to the making Of ar
Nor plate there is no question
but that the iron mine up in the
hills will become a most valua-

BURNING OF MEN IN A CAR
LAST OCTOBER
CASE BROUGHT TO LIsar AGAIN
Requisition from the Governor for
Larry Seaman and VIM.
Portal

eOILall
Deputy sheriff Tom Hewitt is
in Chicago this week armed
with a requisition from the gov
ernor that calls for Larry Scan
Ian and William Portall who
when returned will have to an
swer to the charge of murder in
the first degree. 1t will be re-
membered that on the night of
October Doth last that a lodging
car was discovered on fire and
despite the efforts Of the fire de-
partment was burned, and that
subsequently the almost unrec-
ognizable remains of two men
were found in the ashes. The
dead men, were however, iden-
titled as Homer Parish and j.
Hanley, employees ofthe North
western. Larry Scanlan and
Wm. Portal, railroad men in
the employ Of the Northwestern
also were known to have visited
the car that evening when it
was alleged that a general rough
house was pulled off, it being
pay, day and that out Of it all
there grew a general mlx-up
whereby the stove in the car
was upset with the result that
the car was set on fire. An ex-
animation Of the skulls Of the
dead men,by the p olice and ply
sicians aroused suspicion that
there had been foul play, and
subsequently Scanlan and Por-
tall were arrested on suspicion
and brought before Justice Scri-
Der, but for want Of direct evi-
dence were dismissed, They
had a months pay coming,
but made no at tie mpt
to draw it till they appeared at
the Omaha office Of the com
pany. Here, by direction OF
the railroad directors, who
were working the case,
they were referred to the
Chicago pay office and trans
ported to that point for the pur-
pose Of deferring for further
developments in Rapid City.
It transipired about this time
that there were certain parties
about town who were "next"
to the inside of the affair in the
car, but who dared not give
away the information as long as
the "strong arm" gang was in
town for fear Of their own per-
sona| safety. Following the
''cleaning up" Of the Rialto on
the order Of the mayor they i'm
mediately alet go" the infor-
nation that will in the courts
convict Scanlan and Portal of
the crime IF numbering in cold
blood Homer Parrish and j.
nanley. Testimony will be
given to the grand jury to the
effect that there was a quarrel
among them, that there was
some drinking and that the ac-
cused fell upon Hanley and
Parrish with angle bars OF
compiling pins then murdered
them. To hide their crime they
deliberately upset the stove tc
set fire to the car, with the enc

that the men had been burned

While the attending physi-
clans at the coroner's inquest

TO HAV[ A THEATRE
RAPID O1TY TO HAVE A NEW
$4,000 HOUSE
COMPANY UNDER ORGANIZATION.
Only Another Result of the Rapid
but Natural Growth of
Rapid City


One OF the new enterprises in
the natural growth Of Rapid
City has this week come to a
definite ending that means the
Immediate building Of a $50, 600
Opera House. This PROPOSE
ton will be financed by a stock
company Of representative mon
Of Rapid City Who will insist
that the house go up at once
and be ready for business early
the coming season. The plans
for this house are already
drawn by the projectors, and
only waits the final draft of the
architects in Chicago. The
plans and specifications will
call for a seating capacity Of
one Thousand people. It will
have a parquette circle and two
galleries. The stage is to be Of
dimensions adequate for the
production Of first class operas
in all their entirety, no matter
how extensive or elaborate.
The plans will also call for pri-
yate parties and distinguished
individuals, these to be placed
in tiers to the right and left Of
the stage. The theatre is to be
built on the fire proof plan
throughout, and perfect safety
as to exits. The site for the
new building, however, has not
been definitely decided upon.
The company have two sitesin
view, one on Main street and
the other is the old Masonic
corner at Sixth and st. Joe. II
is probable, however, that the
deal will be made for the latter
site. In either case the plans
will call for two or more store
buildings on the first foorand q
basement to be used for Office
purposes.
This proposition is a sure 90,
and it means a great deal to
Rapid City. In fact the busi-
ness men of the town are wax
ing up TO the fact that their
town is TpE HUB OF THE WHEEL
of the Hills country, and that
theythave got to get good and
ready to take care Of what they
have in hand.
The natural location Of the
town, as it now is, in the heart
OF the Hills, and being il
touch with the great country
west of the Missouri will make
it also a convention town. IL
is probable that the next State
Convention will oe held here
provided that the new opera
house can be finished in time
and it is up to the company to
see that Rapid City makes good,
and it surely will. The Union
will be able next week to give
further and definite plans of
the new Opera House and to
outline in detail the project

Tom Sweeney Hardware Co:
General trade here has been
very satisfactory the past
twelve months, the increase; in
the volume Of business expert
enced by most Of the merchants
being from fifty to one hundred
per cent above what it was a
year ago.
The hardware business in
particular has been favored by
the exceptionally favorable To-
cal conditions that exist. The
building Of the two railroad ex
tensions to this country from
the Missouri River, one by the
G. & N. W. Ry. from Pierre.
the other by the G. NJ. & St,
Paul Ry.. from Chamberlain,
has caused arush of homestead
ers this way who are rapidly
taking up government land.
Nearly all are making improve
ments Of a permanent nature.
This city is experiencing quite
a building boom. The number
Of buildings now being erected
will exceed the total of build
ings constructed in the past ten
or twelve years, and yet the de-
mand exceeds the supply. Sew
eral industrial enterprises have
also been started within the
past year, including a plant for
the manufacture Of Portland
cement, that will cost, when
completed, three quarters of a
million dollars.
Bountiful crops for several
consecutive years and good
prices for cattle this season
placed the farmers on Easy
Street.
While there has been no un-
usual activity in mining, the
annual output Of gold from the
Black Hills for 1906 will show
an increase over former years,
The tin mines are again attract
ing considerable attention,
which gives encouragement TO
believe that work on these prop
critics will soon be ,enewed.
We see no indication Of a
break in the present prosperity,
at least for along time to come.
A reaction, should it occur in
the near future, will be caused
mainly, we think, by unwisa
state legislation in reference to
railroads, which may retard de,
velopment and extensions.
