BLACK HILLS MINING.
Preparations Are Being Made to Re-
open Several Of tho Old Properties.


open Several Of the Old Properties.
Near Hill City there Is apt to be
some important developments on the
old Golden Slipper ground this sum-
mer. This is one Of the old rich gold
properties OF the Southern Hills that
in earlier days yielded picture values
and then gave way TO the introduction
of modern mining. For some time
past, Jack Forsythe, the caretaker OF
the ground, has been making calcu-
lations looking toward the rediscov-
cry Of the old rich ledge. Finally he
commenced q shaft about 200 feet
southeast of the old workings and had
ran across the ledge for which he was
looking. At that depth 1t had a width
Of two feet with every indication OF
increasing width with greater depth.
The ore from this ledge gives splendid
values in the pan and with the mortar
test, but not as rich as formerly. This
is attributed to the fact that the Gold
IN slipper ore always milled much
richer than it. yielded In the prelim-
mary tests. In all probability this old
mine will not longer be permitted to
remain idle, but some plan to extract
the gold ore and treat it will be reach
ed soon.
It is stated that the pending deal
for the sale Of the Wandering Boy
property, near Custer, has been lie.
clared off, but the property viii likely
be operated by local people within the
, near future. Messrs. Gillespie. Haz-
lett and others of Pittsburg, who were
here conducting negotiations, have re-
turned home. Mr.. Gillespie held an
option on the mine for $4,000. but
wished to further develop it, offering
$4,000 at the end of three months if
this development proved satisfactory.
He offered to sink the shaft another
100 feet and do 100 feet of drift work.
but the owners of the property feel
F, that they can better operate It hem
selves.
Both the Extreme property, former
iy the Minnie May, and the Grand
Junction and Hartford mines, are 10
ne reopened. if plans carry. J. Wayne
Won Leer has just completed his ex-
animation of the latter property and
it is I'm lerstOod to be satisfactory for
development. while II. McCielland,
owner OF considerable ground there,
Is negotiating with some Eastern men
for the operation of the Extreme,
which has 81 small plant on the ground
and al alluring gold prospect. It is
also one of the %b0nanZas of the earlier
days.

DEcALOGUE STALLS AUTO.
Religious Mechanics All Refuse tc
Make Repairs on Sabbath.

The first automobile s%corching in
his state was ~practiced by l.. l.. Row
ley on his way from Pierre to Sioux
City. He made the eighty miles to
Miller in four hours. He could have
made the run to Sioux City. but his
machine gave out at Miller, rs ne
came into town. Believing he could
get his machine repaired on hat day,
Mr.. Rowley sought a %machinist, but
found him at church and he refused
o work on the Sabbath. Another one
was then found. but he refused to
work on Sunday. In despair the III
DIST went to a plumber to get him to
help him, but he. too. was religiously
inclined and would do nothing. The
stalled traveller, who really had a
sentimental reason for hurrying back
% Sioux City, had to wait until Mon
day to get his auto repaired. when he
started on at terrific speed.

Dreams and Niuhtmares.

Many Of u cOmmOnest dreams are
occasioned by bodily conditions Oh
surroundings. Loosened sheets at the
foot of the bed on a cold night soon
deposit a sleeper's feet in rivers or
snow banks, just as a second helping
at dinner or a tendency to lie on ones
back in bed readily conjures up whole
legions of spooks.
Certain evidence on this point was
collected in DR.. G. Stanley Halls psy-
Geological laboratory at Clark univer-
sity from personal testimony. From
this it would appear that children
prefer animals for their nightmares.
whereas adults incline toward bur-
glars, jailers and the like.

TWO DROWN IN RIVER.
Boat Was Capsized by Running Foul
Of Sunken Wire Fence.

An accident resulting in the drown
ing of Mary, aged seven years. and
Joseph, aged three years and a half,
children OF Joe Calavan, occurred
about three miles west OF Nashua.
The children. three in number, accom-
panied by their father, were crossing
Milk river in a rowboat. A wire
stretched across the stream below the
surface of the water caught the Dot
tom of the boat and upset IT., catching
the children underneath. One child
was pulled out by the father and
taken safely ashore. and he then came
back and got the little girl, Mary. and
started for the shore with her, but be-
came so exhausted that he could not
reach the bank with her and vas
obliged to surrender her to the cur
rent. The little body was recovered
about three hundred feet below the
point where it went down, and the
body of the boy. Joseph, was found
under the boat. about a mile and a
half down stream.

SCHOOL INCOME LARGEST YET.
Per Capita Apportionment Is s2.4s In
South Dakota.


The state land department has
made It's June semi-annual apportion-
ment Of the income from the perma-
nent school fund, which income goes
directly to the schools Of the state.
apportioned on a basis Of school popu-
lation. The total amount apportioned
is 1859, 70S. 10, on a school population
of 1929, or s2.46 for each pupil in
the state.
This is the largest apportionment
of the fund which has ever been made
by the state, and with the December
apportionment holding up in proper
ton to that of June, will give the
state its best year IN distribution Of
school funds.
The total sum and the amount for
each pupil has increased, regardless
of the fact that the greater part Of
the fund is now in the 5 per cent in
terest class instead OF the s per cent;
and the further fact of an increase
of 4,625 in school population since
the apportionment of last year was
made. The total apportionment for
this June is $15,625.10 in excess Of
that for June Of last year, and is 3
cents to each pupil greater than the
last June apportionment.
While the fund yet leaves a large
share of school expenses to local tax
alton, it grows every year, and is
helping to cut local school expenses
to a greater extent as each year
comes around.

Condor Individuality.

We had the best chance of studying
the colors of the condor head. The bill
was horn color, and the red skin Of the
head extended down, covering 1t about
halfway. The legs were tan, but on
each knee was patch Of red. On the
breast of each bird the skin was blood
red and could be seen occasionally
when the breast feathers were spread
and the birds were preening. Both had
light colored wing bars, and the pri-
maries were well worn. The skin on
the throat hung loose, and the Lowell
mandible fitted close under the upper.
The chin was orange red, and below
this on the neck was a strip Of green
ish yellow merging into the orange
about the sides and back of the neck.
The top and front Of the head were
red, but between the eyes was small
patch Of black feathers, and these ex-
tended down in front of the, eye into
the orange red Of the cheek. The pupil
of the eye was black, but the iris was
deep and red and conspicuous. The
bald and wrinkled pate, the fabby
FOWLS, with the cave-in expression of
toothless old woman-these helped to
make up the condor individuality
