The New Strike.

The following article, taken from the
Keystone Recorder, chronicles a rich
strike recently made in the southern
Hills:
A group of claims owned by Gunder-
son and Williams situated between the
head of Grizzly Creek and the base of
Harvey Peak have been the means of
throwing the prospectors and mining
men into a fever of high excitement.
In the last few days nearly everyone
has visited the vicinity and as a result
the country is staked solid for miles
around.
1t is reported as being the biggest
thing that ever happened in the south
ern Hills il not in the entire Black Hills
district, and if it turns out to be one half
as rich as they think 1t is, and we have
no reason to doubt the report, We will
have one of the iveliest camps in the
west.
The group consists of about forty
claims on which the owners have done
a vast amount of work, having assays
and tests made at various times, the re-
suits of which they kept secret until
they were confident that they had a
wonderfully rich proposition. When
they thought the proper time had come
they sought the aid of James A. Clark
and took him over to look the property
over. He took samples from the differ
ent dumps and had them tested. The
results were far beyond his expectations
as the tests gave high values of gold,
nickel, cobalt and two or three other
precious metals any Of which could be
worked at big profit.
Mr.. Clark told US in all confidence that
he thought it was the biggest thing in
the Hills and if the thorough analysis
which he is having made comes to what
he thinks it will, the details of the deal
will be made in q short time. The pur.
chase price is $2OO, 1000.

According to the government reports
the estimate yield for 1908 on spring
wheat is 200, ,O00, 900 bushels, on winter
wheat is 100000 bushels and oats
i, ,0o6, 600, 900 bushels. This is about
twenty per cent more than the yield for
1907. OF course there is many slip be-
tween the cup and the lip but if all goes
we'll the crop for 1908 will break the
record. Talk about the restoration of
confidence there is nothing that will do
that like booming big crop. Europe
buys 100, 900, 900 bushels of grain from
the U. s. more than she did twenty
years ago, and the demand from other
countries is Increasing every year. We
have only to keep our shirt on to be-
come the richest nation in the world,

Montrose. Colo. Coming to the Front

Montrose, Colo, Coming to the Front.
Plans for the early and rapid develop
meut of the resources of the Naturita
and Paradox valley district of Montrose
county are we'll under way. A railroad
that will connect the town of Norwood
with the outside world is contemplated.
George w. Knox, Harmon Layton and
J. Z. Van Lew, all of Des Moines, are
back of the enterprise. 1t is their OBJ
ject to get sufficient capital interested to
assure the building of the road into Nor
wood, and thus furnish an outlet to a
vast acreage of irrigated lands.
The railroad is really second to an i'm
mense irrigating scheme. The Des
Moines men recently purchased a small
irrigating system in the vicinity of Nor
wood. They have obtained dredgers
and moved twenty carloads of machin-
cry into the district.
The work of widening and deepening
the bitches of the system is under way
and the laterals will be extended. 1t is
expected that when completed the irri-
eating plant will provide water for more
than 00,000 acres of as rich land as
Colorado boasts.
Norwood is located in the northeast
corner of San Miguel county, thirty six
miles from Telluride. The town has a
population of about 900 and is growing
rapidly. As the gateway to the big dis
trict under irrigation railroad is a
practical necessity. Knox, Layton and
Van Liew want to give the town the
long-felt want.
Capitalists who have been Apr ~ached
by Layton have taken keen interest in
the project. He has party of engineers
looking over the territory for rich men
of the east.
1t is proposed to run the road to Nor
wood, either from Montrose on the main
line of the Denver and Rio Grande road
or from Placeryille on the Rio Grande
Southern.
In the vicinity of Norwood about zoe
acres of land already is under cultiva.
ton. With the irrigation projects now
under way completed at least 100000
acres will be brought under water.
The section gets it's principal water
supply from the Lone Cone and Dolores
peaks,

The first session Of the republican
leaders with Chairman Hitchcock OF
the national committee, opened at two
O'Clock, July Goth, at Colorado Springs,
Colorado. During that time the mem-
bers of the national committee and the
chairman of the state central commit
tees from sixteen states and territories,
addressed the assembly and explained
state conditions. Representatives from
Colorado, Wyoming and South Dakota
declared in positive terms that their
states can be carried for Taft and Sher-
man, but at the same time, insisted the
campaign should be carried on with the
greatest vigor. 1t has not been decided
by Hitchcock when he will call the
leaders of the central states to meeting
in Chicago, but it is probable that the
date will be soon after the notification
of Taft in Cincinnati.

state Revenue From National Forests
Increased.

| State Revenue From National Forests
Increased.
In addition to the benefits secured by
| fire protection and by regulations which
| control the use of timber land and range
30 as to insure permanent supplies for
local wants, the states having National
Forests now receive, under the new Ag-
ricultural Bill, twenty-five per cent of
the gross proceeds derived from the sale
of National Forest resources. This
amount, according to law, goes to Offset
any losses to the states through with
drawal of forest areas from taxation,
and is devoted to the public roads and
schools.
Several years ago complaints were
made that the withdrawal of timber
lands for forest purposes reduced the
taxable areas of the states in which
Withdrawals we're made. The Forest
Service quick to see the justice of these
complaints recommended at first that 10
per cent, and later that rs per cent, ofthe
gross proceeds from the National Forests
should be paid to the states. AS re-
suit, the states are assured of school and
road funds, doubtless more certainly
than they otherwise could have been,
since the permanence of the Forest re-
sources is now secured by conservative
management. Had the Forests never
been established, their resources would
undoubtedly have been exhausted by
hasty and improvident methods of ex-
ploitation, leaving the land wasted and
unproductive.

Editors are Coming.

Il
John T. Cogan, secretary of the South
Dakota Press association, informs the
CHRoSIcLE that the final arrangement.
for the trip to the Black Hills beginning
Thursday, the 23rd provides for the ar
rival at Rapid City Friday morning
The editors will remain there until sat,
urday afternoon when the entire party
will go to Hot Springs. There they will
visit Wind Cave, the Soldiers Home,
the National Sanitarium, the great
plunge bath and other points of interest
until Monday afternoon when special
train on the Burlington road will con-
vey the party to Custer. After brief
stop here a drive will be taken to
Sylvan lake, the Switzerland of Amer
lea.
Besides the beautiful lake, on which
are boats for the use of the guests, there
are many other attractions. Harney
Peak, 400 feet elevation, is three and
one-half miles distant by trail, passing
the Needles and Cathedral park en-
route. Donkeys and saddle horses will
be used for this trip, also to visit The
Pools, st. Elmo mine, The Gorge and
other places. Magnificent views abound
here, unrivalled in any country. Syl-
van lake is 6,2OO feet above the sea
level.
Tuesday afternoon the party will re-
turn to Custer and take their special
train for Spearfish, over one of the most
wonderful railroads in the world. 1t
cost over 50, 600, 900 to build thirty five
miles of this road. 1t has 375 curves
and thirty-three bridges in that dis
tance. For good part of the way the
grade is 2l6 feet to the mile. At one
place the track can be seen 900 feet be-
low the track on which the train rests.
1t is the intention to reach Spearfish
about nine o'clock in the evening, where
a reception will be rendered by the
citizens. Wednesday afternoon a tally
no drive will be taken TO Belle Fourche,
where public reception will be given
in the evening and an early start made
for the inspection of the great govern
nent irrigation project that is now near
ing completion. Thursday evening the
party will take the train at Belle Four
che for Deadwood and Lead, where Fri
day and Saturday will he spent. Dead
wood is the financial, and to a large
extent, the social center of the Black
Hills.
1t is but two mile ride from Dead
wood to Lead City, and the ride is most
enjoyable. Lead is $50 feet higher than
Deadwood and the little railroad which
the two cities runs up hill al
most every foot of the way. Lead is the
home Of the great Homestake Mining
company, and trip through the mines
will be made, and a thorough inspec
ton of all the interesting processes in
producing and preparing the ore. At
Deadwood and Lead much attention will
be given the party, the Commercial
clubs being desirous of making the visit
exceedingly delightful. At this point
many of the editors and their families |
will return to Hot Springs and to Sylvan
Lake and other points to remain from
one to four weeks. There will be over
100 people on the excursion.
