 The extractor house will be com pletely equipped with combined melting and drying furnaces, gold retort, drying pans, acid tanks, amalgsm safe and all necessary accessories. The power plant con- sists of two 60x16 so h. p. station arv tubular boilers, one high pres. sure side of 12x36 Corliss engine rated at 107 h. p. at 125 lbs. work ing pressure. The engine is so arranged that when the size of the mill is increased beyond present capacity the low pressure side can be installed, converting the engine into cross compound Corliss en- zine of about 200 h. p.
 A 20 k. W. generator will supply electrical power for operating the motor driven agitation and so- lution pumps, and supply incandescent lamps for light ing the mill, cyanide plant, mine tunnels, office, store and other buildings of the company. This generator is arranged to be driven from a countershaft belted direct to the main Corliss engine. The plant is also provided with an auxiliary 30.h. D. dynamo engine which will drive the generator whenever for any reason the Corliss engine is not running. This department is also provided with heater, boiler feed pumps, etc., and is a thoroughly economical and efficient power plant.
 The entire plant is so designed that the capacity can be increased to double that of the present mill without interfering with the pres ent arrangement or operation of the plant. Roy < Titcomb have contracted for the manufacture and erection of the entire plant, trans porting all material from the rail- road to the mine, furnishing all building material and labor, doing all grading and turning the plant over to the company with steam up and running.
 The plans for the plant were pre- pared by Roy < Titcomb, and be- fore adoption they received the ex- animation and approval of some of the most eminent experts in mill construction in the United States. Everything is to be of the very best make, and when complete the mill and entire plant are to be turned over to the Tribune Company in splendid working order.

Gregory, s. D.. Feb. 2O.-The Chi

has surveyors at work on it's lines west
OF Gregory. One party is locating a
crossing over the White river near
Murdo. while another is at work north
west OF Phillip in the direction Of Belle

'struction is to be commenced in the
early spring.
The completion Of these lines will be
OF insstimable advantage to Gregory as
1t Will not only give good connection
with the great agricultural country to
the north and west. but 1t will also
open up direct railroad connection with
the great coal and lumber regions Of

Gregory is now the largest town In
the state between the Missouri liver
and the Black Hills and occupies the
same relative location with references
to the vast territory west of the rlyer

by Mrs. G.. w. Kuhn against her hus-
band, Bill Kuhn. both being pioneer
residents Of this (Deuel) county. The
above assertion of the husband when.

DAKOTA DIVORCE
TRADE YIELDS AN
ENORMOUS INCOME
Five Million Dollars Expended
for Divorces in Last Ten
Years.

Pierre, S. d., Feb. 21.--In the an
hual report of the bureau of vital sta
tistics is made plain the reason why
South Dakota doesn't want to give up
the divorce business.
The bureaus report shows that dur
ing the past year 5000 a total of $50
divorces were granted in the state, OF
which 800 We're to nonresidents. And
ket. too.
The average spent by Divorces dur-
ing their six months residence in
South Dakota Is not less than 5000 a
month. and probably much higher.
But. estimating the average cost of
a Dakota divorce. including the ex-
pense of setting up a residence. pay
ment of attorney and court costs, at
$1,500. the state of South Dakota last
ear took in $480,OOO as inducement for
granting the 800 divorces to nonresi-
dents.
100000 in Ten Years.
While 1907 was decidedly bearish
in the divorce trade. owing to the agi-
tation In the state for its abolish
ment, If the income for the past year
is X as an average, South Dakota
has realized 5000. 900 from her divorce
mill in he last decade.
This really is a low estimate, for
most OF those who come to South Da-
kota to be freed of chatting ties, are
ready %spenders. Merchants send spe-
cial orders for high grade goods in an
ticipation OF the divorce patronage,
hotels fit up whole suites of rooms in
the best of trappings. to make the
sojourn pleasant, while it is a reg
ular business to furnish houses and
rent them to unhappy wives for SIS
to 500 Il month.
To Vote on Traffic.
Lawyers profit to the extent Of $12,-
600 Il year from the outside divorce
business. physicians find opportunity to
charge fancy fees and dentists and
dog fanciers count upon this trade in
their yearly estimates.
Because this stream of money is
constantly pouring into the state, and
for no other reason. whatever, Sioux
Falls divorce lawyers caused the prep
aration OF a petition submitting to IA
referendum vote II law passed by the
Il year ago., that, if APP
proved. will effectually end the d.
vorce trade in South Dakota. The stat
ute is very simple, providing that the
plaintiff in action for divorce must
have been an actual resident, in good
faith, of the state for one year.
Such a law would make South Da-
kota nc more attractive than a score
of other states. The divorce lawyers
n all who share in receipts from
the business. are hoping. that the law
will fail 6rapproval simply by over
sight. Sentiment undoubtedly fayors
