NEWS OF THE MINES
The Commodore Mining Company Has One
Of the Richest Showlngs In
the District.
CRITTENDeM COMPANY TO BEGIN WORK

The latest aud best mine in this
level zinc and Auorspar district is
the Commodore near the Crittenden
Springs, owned and operated by the
Commodore Mining Company, Of
Louisville. The company territory
comprises about 200 acres in the
vicinity Of such we'll known mines
as the Leona, Cartwright, Big Four,
Larue and Crittenden mines, all Of
them being on the Larue vein. This
great mine, a genuine bonanza, came
into existence two months ago,
though the shaft was sunk a year
ago to the depth of 100 feet. Two
months ago John l.. Harpending
was employed by the company as
superintendent. After spending
three weeks in putting the machinery
in shape and pumping out the shaft
he opened up at the seventy and
ninety foot levels, the richest ore
body of lead and zinc ever found in
this district and In twenty shifts has
mined, hoisted and platformed over
200 tons of this rich ore, and this
has been done with an average of
SIX men per shift. The mine now
employs three men underground, one
mucker, and two machine men USE
ing lngersoll- Rand air drill and five
men ON top to handle ore and ma.
chinery. The underground works
are so arranged with two levels and
four drifts, that the drills and hoist
are kept running every hour Of the
shift. The mine is equipped with
three fifty horse power boilers, one
lOxl2 Ingersoll-Sargent air com
pressor, Lidgerwood hoist and two
Ingersoll-R3nd air drills. Mr.
Harpendiug informs US that he has
thousands of tons of this ore blocked
out and will have no trouble in max
ing On average output Of 500 tons
of ore per month. He has also mad,
arrangements to tap the ore body al
a greater depth to add more slopine
room to the mines, and invites any
one interested in mining in this dis
trict to visit his mine at any time.
The Leander Mining Company
composed of Marion capitalists, hav'
taken over the property of the Glen
dale Mining Company, near tn
Commodore mines and on the sam
vein, and short time ago opened VI
the largest vein of lead and Auorspa'
ever found in this district, measur
ing twenty-four feet wide Thi
vein was opened up at a depth o
three feet. This company Is nov
sinking two shafts 12x12 and hav
mined about 600 tons of this ore
Supt. A j. Pickens put severa
wagons to hauling this ore to tn
railroad at Marion last week.
The Eagle Fluor Spar Company a
the Cullen mine near Salem are bus
installing three ore perfection sizers
and as soon as completed will stal
their 200 ton separating mill.
W. S. Lowery, general manage
for the Pope's interest IN this dis
trict, has the best of the big thin
in the New Salem district at hi
mine, the Watson. This is spa
mine to depth of ninety feet, q
which depth lead becomes very muc
in evidence. Mr.. Lowery inform
us that, if the weather permits, h
will have in a sinking plant an
mill within sixty days. He resun
ed the sinking Of his shaft last wee
and will push things until he add

A Long, Running Fight.

On the morning OF Sept. 10, two grey
hounds discovered the hiding place of
a timber wolf. which was in small
body of timber just south Of Moreau
river, in Butte county. The hounds
attacked the terror of pralries, aud for
a time the latter seemed to have the
best OF the fight, but later the wolf
started south. The hounds giving a
hot chase, The day was divided be.
tween running and fighting. Late in
the evening the hounds succeeded ia
killing the wolf near the Bad Land
creek, north of the Cheyenne river,
more than seventy miles from the
point OF beginning. A rancher who
followed for distance declares that it
was little the fiercest fight between
animals he had ever witnessed, and it
was SO swift he didn't see much of it
either. a

Scholarship and Tobacco.

1t is reported that the president Of a
South Dakota normal school has issued
proclamation by which every person
W no uses tobacco in any form or de-
gree is barred from entering the school.
He takes this action because afrom his
long experience he has found that
students who use tobacco even in the
slightest degree never attain to scholar.
ship and do not make broad minded
men and women.
That's going little hard on several
OF u.s. But it is not quite clear as to
which is cause and which is effect. Is
it that nobody but a fool would smoke,
or is it that if smart man should
smoke he would thereby be transform.
ed into fool? And supposing that
one should "attain to scholarship and
then begin the use of tobacco how
long would it take him to forget what
he had learned? And then, supposina
that some of us ignorant old chaps
who are pretty we'll saturated should
swear off--say the first of next year
would there be any hope that we
might still attain to scholarship before
we died. That it is to say, is the men
tai debility permanent or only con
temporaneous with the indulgence?
However, to look at the question
seriously, it is just such pronounce
ments as this of the South Dakota
educator that do harm to the cause q
temperance. Tobacco in any degree il
harmful to growing children, and over
indulgence is harmful to anybody
But there is no use of making your
self ridiculous by wild assertions tina
weaken your own case.

Selling Off Capitol Lands.

The state land department is max
ing strong effort to clear up all the
capitol lands east of the river this fall.
Several dealers are negotiating for the
lands left in the different counties, and
everything looks favorable for clear
ing up east Of the river. The lands in
NJ Pherssciii, Ed Ed iniiuds and Suiiy coun-
ties have all been sold, and those left
are in Hyde, Potter and Faux coun-
ties. If this can be disposed of there
will be enough cash on hand for active
operations until the close of next year
and by that time it is believed that a
portion Of the land west of the river
can he disposed of, especially in Butte
and Meade counties, and enough Sc
cured to complete the buildings with
out drawing upon the optional ap
preparations made for that purpose.

First Train Over Big Bridge.

The first work train crossed the new
railway bridge Sunday, and the
ment OF the road promises to be ready
to handle cattle across the bridge by
the fifth of next month. A nun Der of
shipments are being held west of the
river for that opportunity to get them
to market and it is estimated that if
the crossing can be made by that date
about fifteen hundred cars of cattle will
be sent to the Chicago market through
this city before the end of October. Up
to the present there has been but little
shipping through here this year as it
was necessary to ferry cattle to get
them loaded, and as a result most of
the shipments have been from points
on on the Milwaukee line west of Cham
btesrlain, the stuff being driven to the
small stations along that line, from
Forth sl Of the Northwestern. 81

Crowds See Capitol Work.

Construction work on the capitol
proved a great attraction to residents
OF the state who attended the Gas Belt
exposition, and the grounds had many
visitors every day. The foundation is
lar enough along so that the contractor
feels assured all that part of the WORK
Will oe completed before cold weather
While there were large crowds at the
exposition there was but little rowdy-
Ism, and no light finger work was re-
ported until the last ds;y when several
pocketbooks were stolen. The boldest
crime was the stealing of tbs cash box
from the safe in the Mallory dry goods
store. The thief secured about $500
in cash and several checks.
