Newspaper Men Coming.

The plans of the South Dakota Press
association for spending the summer va
cation in the Black Hills are going along
finely. Satisfactory arrangements have
been made with the Milwaukee and
Northwestern lines insuring good accom-
modations for the entire trip.
All indications point to a record
breaking excursion with representative
newspaper men from all parts of South
Dakota taking part. 1t goes without
saying that the trip will be greatly en-
joyed by all who decide to go and this
will probably include every man who
can possibly figure out way to turn his
editorial duties over to somebody else
for week or two.
The following is a portion of the first
circular issued by ]. T. Cogan, secretary
of the Press association, giving a gen.
eral idea of the plans egarding the out
ing:
"It is proposed to rendezvous at Ra-
pid City, on July "a, 1908. A business
meeting of the Association will be held
during the stay at Rapid City. When
the visit to the Gate City is completed,
the party will visit in a body, Hot
Springs, Custer, Sylvan Lake, Sturgis,
spearfish, Deadwood, Lead, Belle Four
che and other points of interest.
"The Black Hills affords some of the
most beautiful picturesque scenery in
the country, Sylvan Lake and Spearfish
canon being among the noted places Of
the world. strawberries, cherries and
other native fruits will be in abundance
at the date of our visit. Trout fishing,
boating, bathing and drives can be en-
joyed to your hearts content. The
Black Hills country-the western por-
ton Of our state-is practically new
world, and every minute of the entire
trip will be delightfully."- interesting. The
outing will without doubt be one of the
most pleasant and enjoyable, and at the
same time, inexpensive ever taken by
the association"

Deoision 5ustains 0rasing Regulations.
The Government has Just won its six
th important case concerning the valid
ity Of the regulations made by the Sec
retary of Agriculture to control grazing
in the National Forests. In the United
States Court, at Denver, Colo, Judge
Robert E. Lewis has overruled the de-
murrer of Fred Light, q wealthy stock
man of Pitkin county, Colorado, which
contended that the grazing regulations
in force on the National Forests are un-
constitutional.
The whole case revolved around the
contention raised by some Colorado
stockmen that the Government 10 no
more than private land owner in the
matter of state fence laws. A number
Of states have fence laws which make 1t
impossible for private person to col
lect fees or damages from owners of
stock which stray upon his land unless
the land is fenced. The National For
ests are not fenced and on this the
stockmen based their refusal to pay
grazing fees.
A friendly suit to test the regulations
of the Secretary of Agriculture prohibit
ing the drifting of stock upon the forest.
At the Public Lands Convention held in
Denver last June the forest officers and
representatives Of the Colorado Cattle
and Horse Growers Association, of
which Mr.. Light is a member agreed to
friendly suit. The case is practically
the same as the famous Shannon case In
Montana, in which the grazing regula-
lations were also upheld.
The decision of Judge Hunt in this
Montana case was affirmed by the Unit
ed States Circuit Court Of Appeals at the
ninth circuit sitting at San Francisco on
February 3rd, this year. That decision
stated without qualification that the
grazing regulations are reasonable and
valid and that the state land laws do not
apply to the National Forests and that
therefore the drifting of stock upon the
Forests in violation of the regulations is
trespassing, notwithstanding the state
law.
The Light decision simply affirmed
the same principle in another jurisdic-
ton. The attorneys for Mr.. Light, un-
der the agreements made before the
trial, are bound not to dispute the facts,
but will probably appeal the legal ques-
ton for decision by the Circuit Court Of
Appeals at st. Louis. Eventually it will
be carried up to the Supreme Court.
The other suits attacking the grazing
regulations won by the Government are
the following cases: The United States
versus Shannon, Montana; the United
States versus Bale, South Dakota; the
United States versus Doguirre, Northern
California; the United States versus
Domingo, Idaho; the United States ver-
sus Dent, Arizona.

New Mining Ventura.

1t is announced that the Continental
Copper company, owning a large tract of
ground near Sheridan in Pennington
county, says a special to the Sioux City
Journal, has decided to sink a shaft
1000 feet and to thoroughly explore
the lower contacts. This ground ad-
joins the old Maloney Blue Lead prop
erty, and it owners have for some time
past been actively engaged in develop
nient. The main shaft has reached a
depth of 500 feet, where a station was
cut and prospecting commenced. At
this point attempts have been made to
sink a diamond drill without success,
but a new man has been given charge
and it is thought will be able to COM
plete this contract. Considerable new
machinery has been ordered, some of
which has arrived. A new hoist will be
installed and the shaft continued to
800 feet, making it one of the deepest
in the Hills. There cross cutting will be
started. An electric pump will supplant
the old steam pump at the 500-foot level
and electricity will be generated through
an electric pumping station. This sta
tion will be built on the other side of
the mountain and used to force the wa
ter for general purposes. 1t is planned
to make the property producing at an
early date, as the company is we'll t.
nanced.
Electric smelling in the Black Hills
is coming to be regarded as something
of a possibility. The Boileau system, it
is claimed, can be used with advantage
to harness the waters of Rapid creek
where there is fall that is at present
not utilized. BY system of fumes and
tunnels for the transmission of the wa
ter it is declared by experts that enough
power can be generated to serve a plant
of thousands of horse power and per-
NIT of extensive experimenting with
the quantities Of smelling ores in the
Black Hills. Some of the leading min
ing men here who have fostered an idea
of the smelter for the Hills are investi-
eating the merits of the electric system,
and should their conclusions be adopted
it is thought that development of many
properties today idle would be the re-
suit Rock containing silicon and lime
abound in various parts of the Black
Hills and other ingredients are not lack
ing.

Preparations now beino;made indicate
that the coming annual state Encamp-
ment of the G. A. r. to bs held In Hot
Springs on June 23rd, a1th and 25th,
will be the grandest affair of the kind
ever held in the state. TO this end the
people of Hot Springs viii contribute
literally.
The attendance of the old vets and
their friends will not be limited to South
Dakota, as many from adjoining states
will attend, II for no other reason than a
desire to locate some old comrade, ifnot
in the State Soldiers Home here then in
the Sanitarium where they may be
found from all the states. There is an
unexplainsble attraction, for, each other
among the old vets, taassonly those who
stood side by side in battle can under
stand, and many of them will travel q
long distance to meet a comrade who
stood by his side in fight and perhaps
toated him off the field wounded.
Such meetings are possible here as all
the states and arms are represented in
the Sanitarium. As an attraction the
Sanitarium building itself is marvel in
design and construction and walk
around the arcade through the various
wards and over the grounds will repay
visit thereto. Notable speakers will
be in attendance, the names of whom
will appear later.
Negotiations are now being made to
secure the lowest railroad rates posi-
BILE for all who attend the encampment,
announcement of which will soon be
made.
To assist in defraying the expenses of
the encampment a series Of entertain
ments will be given in the intervening
time, notable of which will be war
drama, entitled, "The Deserter," now
being prepared for the stage by o. R.
Gard and wife which will revive war
scenes in the campaign Of Gen. Custer
and Crook against the Indians. Aside
from the natural attractions of Hot
Springs and environments the members
of the G. A. r. and w. r. C. will be as
sisted in every possible way by the citi-
zens of Hot Springs to make the visit Of
the vets and all in attendance the most
pleasing entertainment of their lives. -
