State News of Interest
GREATEST MINES NOT OPENED.
Experts Investigate the Vertical
Formation of Ore Bodies.

Experts Investigate the Vertical
Formation of Ore Bodies.
II the investigations of a well.
known mining expert and some South
ern Hills mining men of prominence
are carried out into practical form,
and it is believed that they will be,
the vertical formation in the Black
Hills before long will be much more
thoroughly exploited and developed
than in the past. These examinations
tend to show that the vertical lodges
in the Hills are far more extensive
than Is generally believed, and that,
with scientific work, there is ample
opportunity for the opening up Of
much greater ore bodies.
Three parallel systems of vertical
lodges traverse the hills in almost a
northerly and southeasterly direction,
converging at the northern end. One
passes through the country along a
line drawn through Rockerville, Pac-
tola, and extending through the North
ern Hills, includes the Galena district.
The central belt tracing it from the
south, passes through the Keystone
district, through Silver City, Custer
Peak, Roubaix, and finds 1t greatest
prominence in the Homestake work
ings, near Deadwood. The third ledge
goes through Custer, Hill City, Mystic,
Rockford and in the Northern Hills
appears in the fiat formations of the
Bald Mountain district. Their width
is not infrequently several hundred
feet, the ledge containing low grade
values found in slate, quartz, iron py-
rites and gold formations, with a lit
tie silver in spots.
Crossing these lodges are three
cross-ledges containing the higher
grade gold values. This has been
more explointed in the Keystone and
Custer districts. Here the veins are
narrow, true assures and easier
mined. In the southern part of the
Hills these cross-ledges contain tin
deposits and in the eastern part gold
exclusively The northerly system of
cross-veins contains gold in one por-
ton and anthony, lead, silver and
copper in another.
According to the examinations the
greatest richness is to be found in the
central portion of these vertical
lodges, and it is here that future min
ing operations are to receive more en-
ergy. This section has seen numerous
strikes of Importance and character,
but has received comparatively little
development The whole system of
siderable attention in mining quarters
sideravle attention in mining quarters
in the Hills, and it is probable that a
concerted form of development along
some more practical lines will be
adopted this summer.

BoNDSMEN TO DO WORK.
Orman & Crook Job at Belle Fourche
Is Let to Contractors.

Orman & Crook Job at Belle Fourche
Is Let to Contractors.
After several months of uncertainty
the bondsmen of the bankrupt Orman
& Crook company, contractors, have
decided to take up the unfinished
work on the $1,O00,000 contract in the
irrigation district near Belle Fourche,
and carry 1t on to conclusion.
It has been thought that the gov
eminent would be obliged to COM
plete the work, but the New York
company that is on the bond of the
defunct firm, after thorough investiga-
ton, believes that profit still can be
made on the work 1t Is estimated
that about 100000 worth of work will
have to be done to complete the con-
tract
Hayes Bros, contractors Of James
vile, Wis, have been engaged by the
bonding company to handle the work,
which will be started this week in or
der to come within the terms OF the
original contract with the government.
The figure on which Hayes Bros. have
taken the contract is not made public,
but it is better than the price receiv-
ed by Orman & Crook.

poison in the oatmeal of which she

in Jail quietly and has enjoyed good
health, although it was supposed
when he was lodged there he soon
would die of natural causes. He looks
ahead to acquittal OF the charge
against him, when he will depart for
his native land of Germany.
1t is alleged that it was because his
wife would not let him sell the prop

formed toward her a hatred that many
believe was the motive which led him
to poison her. The old man denies
any such attitude.

BIG cur IN FREIGHT RATES.
Western South Dakota Favored by
Railroad Commission.

Western South Dakota Favored BY
Railroad Commission.
Residents Of the western half Of
South Dakota and shippers in general
who send goods to that part of the
state will be greatly benefited by
new schedule of freight rates which
was adopted by the state board OF
railroad commissioners at a meeting
in Sioux Falls. The schedule has been
under consideration for some months.
The entire reductions in freight
rates In Western South Dakota made
by the board range from Al per cent
to 10 per cent on merchandise clesses.
and will show an average reduction
|of Is per cent on such classes. On i'm
migrant movables, on a distance OF
300 miles, the rate on carload lots is
reduced from 43 cents per hundred
pounds to IL 1-2 cents per hundred
pounds, or an average reduction a
about so per cent The new rate,
based on distance of $40 miles,
which perhaps is the greatest distance
freight can be hauled from east to
west In South Dakota, shows a reduc-
ton from rs cents per hundred pounds
to IS cents per hundred pounds on i'm
migrant goods.
1t was shown by the Investigations
of the railroad commissioner that
So 1-2 per cent Of local freight in the
various classes of all local freight in
the various classes is moved inside of
1875 miles The largest reductions
have been made in the classes and
distances that move the most freight.
The great reductions made by the
board is on that class of goods in
which the reduction will benefit the
greatest number of people, such as
groceries and other articles which go
to make up the necessaries of life,
and immigrant movables. 1t is believ-
ed the railroad companies affected
will accept the judgment OF the board
and not resort to the courts in an eff
fort to prevent the new rates going
into effect.

HIRE TEACHERS FOR NEXT TERM
Attorney General Clark Gives New
Opinion on Law.

Attorney General Clark Gives New
Opinion on Law.
The citation of the old opinion OF
Attorney General Pyle by Attorney
General Clark in regard to the right
of present school boards to contract
for teachers for the next school year
has brought him bundle of requests
for an opinion as to his holding on the
matter, under the present conditions
in South Dakota, where most of the
school boards are cut off entirely in
their makeup by the workings OF the
new educational law.
Attorney General Clark has been
looking into the matter since his cita-
ton of the Pyle opinion, and now
holds that he will be compelled to diff.
fer with his predecessor in that re-
gard.
Mr.. Clark holds in effect that a
school board is continuing body,
even If from any cause the member
ship of the board is changed in its en-
tirety at one time; that as such con-
tinuing body it can contract for a
year in which none of the old mem
bership may remain as a part of the
board. In other words he declares
that the individuality of the member
ship does not make the board, IL it is
a fixed legal organization, and as such
its individual makeup does not affect
it's official existance. He finds that
most of the authorities have held that
even in case where a board has en-
ployed a teacher to prevent a new
membership following from taking
such action, if the teacher was an in
nocent party in the transaction the
contract can be enforced.
Under present conditions in South
Dakota, he says, the present boards
would be working in the best inter
ests Of the schools in every way by
making contracts when teachers are
available.
