COTTON LETTER.


New Orleans, La, Aug. Stalking
sides with the interest of the consum-
er, a leading operator working on the
short side of the market, issued an
other lengthy unfavorable review as
to the probable course of cotton mar
ket the coming year. This same par.
ty one month ago was of opinion that
"A crop of 100000 bales was not inn
probable and that If the government
at that time was to place the condi-
tion of the crop at 70, which was the
exact figure reported, the indicated
yield would not be more than for a
crop of 9,S5s 900 bales, and at about
that time, it was said that the con
sumption of the world was upwards
OF $4,000 900 bales of American. Meth.
er of these statements was To be SER
iously considered, however not any
more than is the substance of bearish
report issued today. The point is now
made that the worlds visible is with.
in $4,000 bales of the largest on rec
ord, but this will not be the case by
the end of August as ON which date
the probable visible of American will
have been reduced to about l,3O0,0U0
compared with l,534,OO in 1905 and
1,97i,OOO in 1899 and in this connec
tion IT, might be said that It was In
the year of 1899, the record carr
over of visible stocks, that the south
was emancipated from the bonds OF
depression, caused by low price cot
ton which il said that only been three
years ince the expectation of crop
of l2,000.000 bales carried the mar
ket below six and a half cents. II Is
to be recalled on that account the
fact that last years expectations for
crop OF 100000 which eventually
proved to be about 13,5OO,0O0 did not
prevent the market from advancing
to l3 cents. In the way of subml5
sion II Is stated that there is very lit.
tie question but that the growing crop
will be as large as 100000 bales
probably more because Of seeing fit

Mining Items.

The Ideal Mining company are push
ing work at the mine running the tun-
mel and excavating for their new air
compressor. Supt. Conover was in town
Wednesday last and informs ;ic that
everything is progressing favorably at
the mine,
We learn that the trouble which has
existed for some time between the Holy
Terror Keystone company, and Supt. Z.
F. Collins has been settled. MIR. G. hae
turned over the books and list of stock
holders in his possession to Mr.. w. A.
Babson, the attorney for the company
and preparations are being made to start
the mill at an early date.
Mr.. A. II. Roosevelt, cousin of fresi.
dent Roosevelt has an option on the old
Bullion mine at Keystone and it is an
nounced that work preparatory to re-
duction plant will be started in short
time The Bullion is an immense vein
OF salphide ore OF medium stade, aud
with reduction plant we'll adapted to
the ore, and of capscity for treating the
output on grand scale, there should
be no doubt of lis becoming one of the
grand producers Of the precious metal il

is said to be excellent, and the district
generally in prosperous condition. All
this we are glad to hear, and not sur
prised at it as from personal examina-
tion we are prepared to say, that the
largest ore bodies that we have yet seen
in the Black Hills mot excepting the
HOmestake) are in the vicinity of My
ersville and in the hornblende district.
The Clara Belle Mining company as
per announcement in last weeks issue
has struck their ore in the new drift and
are now going through a large body of
good milling material. However, Supt.
Hebert informs us that it is not the vein
they are running for, as it is diGeren. in
appearance and not nearly so high grade.
Nevertheless it is good milling stuff and
adds much to the value of the mine as it
assures them Of plenty Of ore for many
years to come. They are driving ahead
and expect to strike their high grade
shoot any day.
The Saginaw mine is employing quite
a crew OF men at the mine but at pres
ent it is mostly confined to the surface.
They are busy getting out logs and saw
ing lumber for the new mill, which will
be erected sometime during the sum
mer. The mine is now fairly we'll de-
veloped and with large ore bodies in
sight sufficient to justify the starting of
a plant on the ground. We are told that
the capacity of the mill contemplated
will be 100 tons per day with concentra-
tors and a cyanide annex and should be
profitable producer.

| The Black Hills Union contains the
following of the case of Beatty VS.. Beat.
ty wherein the eI.wife of John Beatty
of Hermosa is sueng for division OF
the property. The case was before
Judge McGee al Rapid City last week
Less than a year ago John Beatty and
children, we're the living characters in a
happy household drama, they had an
estate, they had cattle and goods to have
and to hold galore, and they were pros
| pering after the manner of all South Da-
kotans and to all outward appearances
seemed to be happy in their prosperity.
But there came a time perhaps unknown
to both Of them when cloud appeared
upon the domestic horizon, although
slight at the time it developed afterward
into a gigantic background. Harry
Terwilliger was renter and employee
of Beatty and relations ran along smooth.
ly for time and nothing seemel to be
doing out of the ordinary until Terwil-
Tiger, the hired man, and Mrs. Beatty
simultaneously eyaporated as it were,
into thin air. AT least one fine morning
about year ago John Beatty awoke TO
the fact that he had no wife, neither did
he have hired hand. He was no Sher-
lock Holmes, was honest old John, but
he made deduction, that is, he put two
and two together, in his way, that his
former fond wife and his trusty hired
hand had gone together to seek newer
and greener fields where they could tell
their love without interruption. Mr..
Beatty at once sought surCease Of
sorrow in the courts, asking
that he be legally separated from his
wife, Linnie, on the grounds of deser-
ton. Here in the dead easy divorce
laws of South Dakota came into action
and he was given his decree. Sturdy
man that he was, be, together with his
mother and his children remained on
the old ranch, pursuing his way as best
he could Less than year passed " hen
his recreant wife returned, not to beg
his forgiveness but to set up claim for
a part of the property and that Is the
contest which is now pending before
Judge McGee. Mrs. Beatty alleges in
the action that she had invested in live
stock to be put on the ranch, money to
the amount of several hundred dollars
which she had inherited some time after
her marriage to John Beatty, and this
amount she brought action for, before
the court.
Attorney Grantham, of Custer, was
here to take care of the interests of Mr..
Beatty, while Chauncey Wood appeared
for the prosecution.
Judgment was rendered in favor oi
Mr.. Beatty, but attorney for the prose.

Tungsten Ores,

We anticipate some action during the
coming summer in our mines Of tung.
sten ores of which we have a goodly
number in Custer county. THESE mines
are at present only prospects, entirely
undeveloped and deserve investigation.
The Colorado syndicate that have pur
chased the mines of wolfram west OF
Key stone, we understand, are going
ahead developing and they will do
something towards proving the merits
of that property. W. have investigated
to some extent tungsten ores of this dis
trict so far as the surface prospects go,
and have obtained returns of 30 per cent
tungsten and that too without concen-
tration. We find also that the richer
the ore in tungsten the richer It is in
gold, but what fern or condition :ae
gold is in, is more than has been a,cdr-
tanned as yet. The gold is not free and
there may be some difficulty in making
the separation on commercial scale.
All these things remain yet to be tested
and we think the work tnat will be done
this summer will go far to solve this
problem.

The Blue Mountain American CON-
mented editorially upon Senator Fulton's
letter as follows.
FULToN's INFECTIOUS AnvIcE.

| FULToN's INFECTIOUS AnvICE.
Elsewhere in this issue is printed a
letter from Senator Fulton to Joe Combs,
a well-known stockman of the John Day
country. 1t is certainly remarkable
| communication, and, as it has been for
warded to the forest-reserve chiefs at
Washington, an adjustment must be
| forthcoming within few weeks o. the
condition will be somewhat chaotic, if
rot anarchic within the borders of not
only the Blue Mountain Reserve, but all
other reserves in Oregon, where Full
ton, by reason of his position, stands for
| something. That he has made a serious
mistake in advising Combs and others
that they can range their stock at will
| and without compliance with the regu-
lations and requirements of the Service
will hardly admit of question. That
these regulations and restrictions are
based upon the law which created the
reserves and has prepared for their po-
licing through service of rangers is
pretty well understood. Because Sena-
tor Fulton, like good many others, op-
posed the enactment of that measure is
no reason why it should not be complied
with at this time.
Pinchot evidently understands his po-
sition pretty thoroughly as Chief of the
Departmental Division in control, and
in springing his advice to Combs et al.
to do as they please and take the chance
of merely having their stock driven off
by constituted authorities Senator Full
ton is going up against bunch of trou-
BILE both out here and in Washington
that will hurt him to an Unreasonable
degree.
We will await Pine! >ss response to
the Senator's position " "A considerable
interest as the time for reserve ranging

1t is understood that the new COM
mandant at the Soldiers Home at Hot
Springs is soon to be appointed. The
place will undoubtedly be filled by a
member of the Grand Army. The Un.
ion is well acquainted with the man
who is eminently qualified to fill this
place in every particular He is in
every way worthy along all lines. He
is not only an old veteran, but he is also
pioneer and pathfinder of the Hills
country. He is man in every sense of
the term, wEo has the interests of the
old soldier at heart and who would put
his heart and soul into the work ofmak
ing practically the new Soldiers Home
at Hot Springs. We do not know Of a
better appointment that could be made
that would more enhance the general
interests of this important institution in
South Dakota. And when asked where
he halls from, he resides at Piedmont,
South Dakota, and his name is Captain
e. V. Gardner - Rapid City Union.

No city property was touched and
there was no change made in mineral
land values. The mineral land question
was, however, brought up by Mr. Nc.
Laughlin of Lawrence county, and was
favorably regarded by the governor,
who presided at the meeting and by the
other members. 1t is probable that a
reduction of ) per cent will be made in
the case of unproductive mineral
ground.
In the matter of personal property
very little change was made as the fol-
