Land opened to Settlement

CHAMBERLAIN, s. D. Oct. 5.-This was the first day of registration for the surplus lands of the Rosebud Indian reservation in Tripp county, which are to be opened to settlement in accord ance with a proclamation issued by the President last August. Dallas and Gregory are the registration points; and for several weeks past both plac s have been filling with prospective settlers. Though large crowds are re- ported at both places, the "rushes" that accompanied land openings in the past have been eliminated to a great extent by the regulation permitting the registration by mail under certain prescribed conditions.
 It is beleived that the total regis trations will reach nearly 100000. Of this number, of course, only a reia- lively small proportion will be able to secure homesteads. The drawing will take place at Dallas, on October 19, to determine who of the persons regist- cred will be given the right to make entry. If a person draws a number smaller than 4001 he will be notified by mail.
 The area opened to settlemcnt u' cludes about S0O,00o acres. The n'- imum price fixed on the land Is S6 per acre, and the homestead laws are made applicable to all entres. The general character of the land Is gently undulating prairie, thickly covered luxuriant grasses. The soil Is a deep rich black loam, very fertile and very productive. Corn, barley, flax, millet oats, wheat, rye and all cereals and vegetable give extra heavy yields.

THoRAcIc SURGERY.
New Method Which Makes the Opera
 ton Less PeriIous.

Prof. Ernest Sauerbruch, of the Uni versity of Marburg, Germany, recent ly read a paper before the surgical section of the American Medical as- soCiation. in which he described a new method of performing operations on the organs of the chest without sub jecting the patient to possible death by lung collapse. Prof. Sauerbruch performs his operations within cab met from which part of the air has been exhausted, the object being to preserve 50 far as possible the bal ance between the air pressure in the lungs and that without the body. Normally, the air within the lungs is lighter than the air of the outer at mcsphere fecause of the difference in pressure. When the lungs are exposed they are subjected to an increased pressure which flattens them, with the result that the patient is exposed to much danger. Prof. s, uerbruch demonstrated the efficiency of his method by operating on a dog. Only the patients body is confined within the cabinet, so that he may breathe the outer air. The operation is said to have been successfully used in 1i instances.

BIG GOLD LEDGE NEAR
 BENSON TO BE OPENED

Five miners. unnder the direction of Miguel Pacheco, wen out today to begin opening up the big gold silver ore ledge owned by Frank Massaletu and Miguel Pacheco, thirteen miles northwest of Benson.
 Location work has been done. and now they are starting to sink shaft on the principal vein of the group at the place where $S9 per ton in gold and silver was returned from sample assays by two different assayers.
 This vein has been traced by sur face croppings for 5000 feet, a solid ledge of ore from twenty to fifty feet wide, between well defined walls.
 It is the intention to bring in some large blocks of this rich ore and send it to the Arizona Fair at Phoenix.
 Lew Roche, who has a large group of claims five miles beyond ths above group. was in town last night and re- ported that he has struck silver ore while doing his. annual assessment. lt is in lime and has the appearance or tcing a large body of good ore.-Ben' son Press.

 Good support was rendered on the decline. and the list recovered under the leadership of the Hill issues and remained strong until the last hour when realizing caused general Teces- sions and the close was generally lower than Saturday, with the excep- ton of Great Northern and Northern Pacific.

Fire in Wool Ships,

The frequency of fires on wool-car. rying ships within the past two years has led to an investigation by a New Zealand royal commission, whose re port, recently published, indicates that spontaneous combustion is responsible for the mischief. Experiments in an Australian factory showed that while the surface temperature of a heap ot wool was only S7 degrees, at 6 depth of three feet the temperature was 66C degrees, and the mass was charre6 and smoldering. The cause of the heat is ascribed to the presence of 8 great amount of tallow, which readily oxidizes. The experiments indicated that wool containing only ordinary wool fat, with no tallow from the fat of the animal, is not subject to spon taneous combustion.
