this will put thirty car loads Of these
catalogues in the hands Of South Da-
kota farmers within the next thirty
or forty days. 1t is declared that
the catalogues will be distributed in
every county in the state and the
fight between the retailers and job
bers and their travelling men on
one side and the catalogue houses on
the other may be said to have fierce
ly begun in South Dakota.
The matter is one of great i'm
portance to the peop.e of the state.
The mail order houses pay no taxes
In South Dakota, but milk the com
munities Of their ready cash. The
dollar which goes to the mail or
der house never comes back. Thus
the community which buys of the
mail order houses puts a knife thro'
the heart of its own prosperity,
and. merely becomes a satrapy of the
big mail order trust, whose only in
terest is to squeeze the lemon dry.
Just what more can be done to stop
the invasion of the mail order houses
is not clear, but that the fight for
self preservation will he continued
by the merchants of the state there
is no reason to doubt.-Argus
Leader.

That TrIp to the Hills.

Argus-Leader: The midsummer
trip taken by the editors of the state
to the Black Hills was one Of the
most sensible outings yet planned for
the members of the association. No
portion of the state is so little APP
preciated as the Black Hills by those
who live in the eastern part, and the
reason for this is that the jewellers
in the eastern half of the state have
not yet learned what the Black Hills
is and what it's resources are. There
are now about one hundred editors
who know something of the re-
sources of the Black Hills and they
will from time to time exploit those
resources in their newspapers; speak
ing from information secured at first
hand, and the result will be that
the Black Hills will secure the adj
Vertlslng which it needs to help in
lhe development of its resources.
The editors We're entertained in
the Black Hills in way which VIM
not soon be forgotten by them. In
addition they secured an insight in
to what the back Hills really are.
Ihey found a section in which pop
ulatlon is growing. They saw min
ing on the biggest scale in the wor4u.
They saw immense forests which sur-
prlsed the jewellers on the prairie.
Before their vision was unfolded q
scenic panorama which few places in
the world can equal. They saw the
possibilities of water power develop
ment which means manufacturing on
large scale in the future. They
saw how much had been done in lr-
rlgation and learned of the move
ment already made for fruit culture
on large scale. And better than
all they met sturdy and ambitious
people who believe in their state and
section.
The Black Hills needs advertising,
1t wants the world to know of what
is there. The mining interests are
pretty well understood. The other
resources which are equally valuable
need to be told to the world and ey-
erything which is done to this end
Will bring back big returns on the
investment.

ANA QUEEN RESUMES WORK
Work Of Development Will Be TAX
en- Tn Again in September.

The Sherman brothers of Pactola
have been obliged to temporarily
suspend work on the ANA Queen
ground in the Custer Peak district
owing to the fact that several of
their miners were obliged to lay
off for a time and other men in that
section Of the country were not i'm
mediately available. Everything
was running smoothly and they
were in hopes of keeping the devel-
opment work going continuously
but they will resume at the earliest
possible date and expect to be at it
in September.
At the present time the mine is
looking better than it ever has and
as work progresses the ore ledge APP
pears to be stronger and more per-
manent. That they have opened up
a big and rich proposition, there is
in their opinion, no doubt. The
last work prosecuted has been DRIFT
ing both ways on the ledge which
they encountered about thirty feet
west of the bottom of the seventy
foot shaft. The north drift was run
distance of fifteen feet and the
drift to the south was carried TWEEN
ty feet. At various points the ledge
has been cross-cut from wall to
wall, and has been found to have a
uniform width OF a little over five
feet.
There is no part of the quartz
vein which will assay less than SIP
in gold per ton and an amount of
this value is in the free state. The
principal values however, are car
r!ed in the iron sulphides which APP
pear to be very evenly distributed
throughout the rock. There is a
streak of high grade stuff, eight
inches in width lying on the foot
wall, which assays from $500 to
$1,000 per ton and has maintained
its width all along the ledge as far
as it has been drifted upon.
The operations have now plenty
of pump capacity and this year have
experienced no difficulty in handling
the water OF which there has been
but little owing to the dry weather
which has produced scarcely any
surface water.
There was some talk of overhaul
ing the old Tremain of two stamps
which stands near the mine on the
north fork of Box Elder creek, and
introducing gravity stamps, but this
plan has been abandoned and when
operations are resumed it is likeis
shipments will be made to Denver
or some other smelter point. The
ore is Of sufficiently high grade to
stand shipment and it is proposed to
raise capital for future improve
ments in this vay.-Deadwood Pho

The Passing of the Cattlemen.

There is being waged in stanely
and Lyman counties the last fight
OF a people who have made South
Dakota famous-the large holding
cattlemen. Their defeat is already
assured, for they are fighting against
a wholly different class of men
the agriculturists- the men who
bring civilization and prosperity to
any community. The cattlemen of
the period of fifteen and twenty
years ago are fighting CALAMITY to
the last against the encroachment of
these tillers Of the soil and although
their cause is already lost, the gal
antry which they show in defending
their rights-or what they consider
their rights-to the bitter end, can
not do otherwise than compel ad-
miration.
Locking back over the history of
the state-and especially that part
OF it lying west of the Missouri river
for the past thirty years, we can
not but appreciate the view now TAX
en- by the cattle men in this their
last fight. Between the Missouri
River and the Bad Lands there was
an immense area which belonged to
no one man but to a large number
OF men in common. Over this area
wandered the large herd of cattle.
thousands of them belonging to one
owner. The life on the western
ranges in raising cattle and caring
for these was free. They owned the
prairies almost by divine right-for
the prairies were open to them. Is
1t any wonder with the approach of
the small farmer, with the erection
OF houses and barns and fences
which kept gradually combining their
herds to smaller areas; with the
growing crops which forbade the
primiscuous rowing of cattle that a
spirit of enmity sprang up between
cattle kings and small farmers. The
cattle men held the prairies by long
usage and the farmers owned their
land by government right. Each
class sought to overcome the other
until at last the farmers have sought
protection OF the courts-and the
courts are in duty bound to Uphold
them.
But someone's loss Is always a
source OF gain to others. The en-
ercachment Of the farming class has
sounded the death knei1 of the cat
TIC king; but 1t has assured the
Proper Development of a large area.

sympathy for the cattlemen, at the

Deadwood, that little VILLAGE In

Deadwood, that little village To-
Gated somewhere in a gulch near
Terry, is becoming smaller and more
contracted with the advent of time.
The village recently made arrang-
ments with show concern to put
on side show, and incorporated in
the contract that the show COM
pany should not SHOW in any other
town within 100 miles of that place.
1t is presumed that the proyiso was
put in the contract to preclude Ter
ry, Puma, Preston and other neigh
boring towns of the same proper
lions as the Deadtown, from having

town-about on her last pins-noth-
ing remaining but the stencil from

Omaha Man Asks for Patent.

ABERDEEN, S. D., Aug. 1-(Special)-
A device to save coal and increase the
steam power OF traction engines has been
invented by c. II. Noyes OF Omaha, who
came. here a short time ago to work out
the details of the invention and test It's
value. Noyes made a test on a 12O-horse
power engine. The device was attached to
the engine for two weeks ana investiga-
ton showed that a saving of 1875 per cent
Of coal had been made and that better
work had been accomplished. Noyes
planned his device on the theory that when
water gets mixed in the cylinders with the
steam there is bound TO be a reduction OF
power. He sought to overcome this and
he claims his device causes the cylinder to
be filled with nothing but dry" steam.
which increases the power Of the engine
and reduces the consumption of coal. A
machinery house here has become inter
ested in the invention and a patent has
just been applied for.
