MOSES DEATH FIGHT
REVEALS GOLD DEPOSITS
TO A LUCKY HUNTER

Spokane, Wash, Dec. 15.-Oscar T..
Nelson, formerly manager OF the Fairy
land Skating rink at Bellingham,
Wash, writes to relatives in Spokane,
from Fairbanks, Alaska, that by KILL
ing q bull moose e Fairbanks creek
he and his partners, Washburn and
Johnson, prospectors, have come into
a fortune by the discovery Of a vein OF
gold, uncovered by the lonEhorn in Its
death struggles. The animal was shot
from q blind" at q distance Of $50
yards, the first bullet striking a vital
spot.
While quartering the moose, Nelson
discovered that the rock, which had
been exposed from under a layer OF
moss torn loose by the animal. bore
gold in large quantities. The hunters
made a closer investigation with their
magnifying glasses and Immediately
staked put several claims, on which
they filed at Fairbanks. Nelson says
the rock bears a high percentage OF
gold. A rush of miners from Fair
banks followed the discovery.
Nelson adds that the animal is be-
lieVed to be the famous Anaconda
moose, which was frequently seen by
miners operating the creek. The spread
Of antlers is a little more than seven
feet and the carcass weighed 1900

UNCLE SAM SHORT
OF PUBLIC LANDS
FOR HIS CITIZENS
Standing Rock and Cheyenne
Last Chances in Former
Great American Desert.

Washington. Dec. 14.-Uncle Sam In
no longer rich enough to give US all a
farm, but last session of congress he
made preliminary arrangements TO give
farms to over 10000 of us, and the peo-
pie of South Dakota want them just as
soon as possible.
They will be carved out of the stand
ing Rock and Cheyenne river reserva-
tons in that state, and 1900, 600 acres
of good land will be given away just
as soon as the preliminaries can be at
ended to. They will not be actually
donated; the land u be appraised
and sold: but in fact II will amount to
Rlmost a donation.
The opening of this immense tract
said TO be the last great area which
the government will have at Its dis
posal for homesteading purposes-illus-
trates the sad fate of the Great Amer
ican Desert. Two generation & eV-
erything west of the Mississippi was
the desert. Then 1t moved along, and
everything, west of the Missouri as Tar
as the Cascade mountains was desert:
Then states grew up in the desert, n
great cities fiourished, and the desert
was driven int colse quarters. n
the bad lands Of South Dakota became
a sort of last stronghold OF the theory
that a Great American Desert really
existed. Parcel by parcel these We're
taken up and turned into thrifty farms.
Still, the Standing Rock and Chey-
enne reservations, inhabited by some
thousands Of Indians, We're regarded as
hopeless. One day the Chicago, MIL
waukee g. st. Paul road announced
that II would build to the Pacific coast,
and thai its line would pass sQuarely
through these lands. Thereupon people
began wondering II they were worth
while. The result was that 1t was sud
= - kkAk. NhAN TIM Nnara
good lands, and that they needed moth
Ing but att"ntion. r .
Last session congress passed an act
for opening 100000 acres Of these res
ervations to settlement. The govern
ment must buy them from the Indians,
and then in turn sell them to settlers.
AS soon as the law passed the desert
began to gain popularity with home
steaders. IT developed that these were
excellent agricultural lands. lying along
splendid streams. 1t was an unex-
plored region, with a bad reputation
because II had long been set of as an
Indian reservation.
With about soc, 900 people, the state or
South Dakota has for a number or
years been credited with producing a
larger per capita Of wealth than any
other state in h union. It's andsh have
been coming into corresponding de-
mand, and when 1t was announced that
this big DOMAIN was to be opened, in
quiries came from all sections.
1t Is now expected that the lands will
be opened for the registration OF would
be homesteaders in the autumn Of 1903,
and for entry Of the lucky ones in the
spring OF 1910. The opening will be
by the accepted process Of registration
and lottery drawing: the man with the
first number having first choice OF
piats. The best tracts VIII be WORTH

MUST
INVEST MONEY IN
DAKOTA MORTGAGES
Three Fourths Of Reserve Fund
Gathered Within State to
BE Invested Locally.

Sioux Falls, 8. D., Dec. 12.-With In
fiuential support behind 1t, a bill will
be introduced In the approaching SEES
sion OF the South Dakota legislature,
requiring nonresident life insurance
companies to invest in South Dakota
securities rs per cent OF their reserve
fund on South Dakota policies. 1t is
estimated hat in the last Is years the
life insurance companies W. received
about $11, 900, 900 in premiums from
South Dakota, and now their annual
receipts from South Dakota are near
the million mark. 1t Is estimated that
a law OF this kind would mean h in
vestment Of about half a million dol
lars in South Dakota every year.
II Is argued that the West needs life
Insurance funds for its development,
more than the Cast for speculative
ventures. In South Dakota IL is nec-
essary to pay from 6 to 10 per cent on
farm mortgages, and IL is asserted that
IL the life insurance companies gave
South Dakota a chance to borrow their
funds under such a law, h interest
rate, would fall. Such a law has been
in force In Texas and the insurance
commissioner OF that state, in response
to inquiry from South Dakota, stated
the law has proved very satisfactory to
Texas. .". ..

THE SELECTION OF FEEDERS.

1t requires several years of experience
In the feed lot to enable any man to Judge
what the thin animal will be when II is
fattened, says Wallace Farmer. There
are certain brood lines, however, which il
followed would enable the feeder to start
into bushes and get this experience with
out costing him too much money.
Many a young feeder, fearful of paying
the price for the best cattle, buys the
poorer, and hence pay dear for his exper-
fence. others would prefer to buy a car
load according to their best judgment as
cheap as they can and still get the quail
ity, and get their experience in a shorter
time and at less expense.
A good feeder Is always a b~road-backed
chap. Therefore look at the back first.
He has always good lung power, because
without good lungs he cannot have a SUI
ficient supply OF air and hence cannot
have pure blood; and II he has not pure
blood he cannot make beef rapidly.
The particular breed, with half q dozen
good breeds to select from, is a negligible
quantity provided the animal Ia a high
grade and has plenty of good blood Of
some OF the beef breeds. 1t Is, OF course.
preferable to have a car load OF cattle
all of one breed and, therefore, of one
color as nearly as possible, except in the
case of Shorthorns, whege there Is a var
iety of coloring; but no farmer should
select his feeders simply because of col
or. First class cattle never nave q bad
color.
If you are feeding for the first time or
nave but, little experience with feeders,
do not go in too heavy. Buy what you
can pay for and buy the best that is go
ing, not necessarily fancy or all of one
color, IL the breed permits different col
ors; but buy the best, thus limiting the
expense Of you experience on the one
hand and making profitable results more
certain. t'..a.. .|.
Don't go in debt for feeders unless YOU
have the feed and the hogs to follow. You
can afford to 60 in debt to some extent in
ordinary years, II the corn and hogs are
your own and paid for. II you have the
ford to 20 in debt for the cattle, but ii is
not safe to go In debt for both.
II you have to 20 In debt, go in debt
at your own bank and give yourself time
enough so that you know II will not ma
ture until your cattle are ready to 20.
II you borrow for 80 days and II requires
four or five months to feed, make sure
that your note can be renewed at the end
| of that time IL necessary. Don't do as
many farmers do. go to the market and
buy your cattle from q commission man
| and give your note for the cattle plus the
| commission, and thus be forced to send
| them back to the same commission man
when 1t suits him and not you. and then
| pay an additional commission and inter
| est. The old and experienced feeder may
| sometimes do this thing, but the young
and inexperienced feeder should not. II
you go in debt for cattle or anything elss
20 in debt TO a man who knows you and
has confidence In your integrity and your
! ability. You are then reasonably safe.
