TIN, Tungsten. and Tantaium Deposits of
South Dakota-by Frank L. Hess.
[From Bulletin No. $50, Contributions to Eco
nomic Geology, 1908, Part IL
SUMMARY, COMPARISONS AND CONCLUSIONS.
The tin deposits of the Black Hills
occur in pegmatites and in quartz. They
are nowhere equally disseminated but
occur in shoots. Possibly a
solution of the problem of profitable
exploitation would be the establishment
of a central milling plant at Hill City
which would take tin, tungsten, and, if
the demand justified, tantalum ores, on
a custom basis. This would give the
men owning claims a chance to realize
on the comparatively small amounts of
good ore, running from 2 to 100 tons or
more, which they would get out dur
ing a season, and the quantity of such
ore that would thus be offered for sale
would probably be sufficient to keep a
5 or 10 stamp mill busy, or mill of
other design of like capacity. An elec-
tromagnetic separating plant would be
necessary to separate the tungsten and
tantalum ores from the cassiterite. There
is, of course, a possibility that much
larger mines than are indicated here
may be developed.
Tin veins in granite, from which most
of the worlds lode tin is obtained, are,
however, closely allied to pegmatites in
that they have crystallized from emana-
tions that were among the very last given
off by granite magmas. The likeness
between the deposits of the two types is
close, 80 that no reason is apparent why
the deposits in pegmatites should not
be as large and last as we'll as the better
known veins in granite.
Tourmaline occurs in fair abundance
in the dikes, reaching II to 2 inches in
diameter at linton. Columbite, tanta-
ute and wolframite, are common access
sories, though the last is known with
the cassiterite of the region, except as a
rarity, only in quartz veins. In those
dikes which carry only little cassterite
the list of accessory minerals is large.
From the Eta mine the following min
erals are enumerated by O'Harra:

EXEMPT MONEY AT SIX PER CENT

The question of the exemption of
money loaned at six per cent Is up
again for discussion and is attractins
a good deal of notice throughout the
state. This money should be exmpt
from taxation. The whole principle
of taxing money loaned on property
and then taxing the property too is
wrong and is double taxation and
the man who owns the property pays
both taxes. In justice to this class of
our citizens, money loaned them at
six per cent should be exempt from
taxation.
1t is a well-known fact that money.
more or less, escapes taxation any
way and that all kinds of subterfuges
are resorted to to dodge this tax
Thus the money lender often gets
both the advantage of a higher rate
of interest because his loan is subject
to taxation and escapes the taxation
as well.-Pascogoula Democrats

PLAYGROUND FACTS.

The following statistical Informal

Association of America; a benevolent
association for the promotion of build

grounds for children; moved to their
work by the belief that such recrea-

of the moral and physical man, and
the making thereby of better citizens.
THE International Congress on III
berculosis, which met in Washington
in 1908, passed a resolution favoring
the establishment of Fairgrounds as an
important agency in the prevention
of tuberculosis.
Approximately 275 cities have now
established Fairgrounds. Previous to
1908 only 80 cities had Fairgrounds.
In POI cities there are 1924 play
grounds.
In 1908 Massachusetts, enacted a
law providing int effect that the cities
OF the State with a population Of TO-
900 or more should vote whether or
not to establish Fairgrounds. All but
TWO cities voted to have Fairgrounds
supported by PUBLIC TAXES.

Kidnaper Makes Vague
Threats About Third
Person Implicated

Mercer, Pa, May 10.-James H.
Boyle and wife, Helen Boyle, convict
ed of kidnapping Willie Whitla, were
given the maximum sentences today
when Boyle was sentenced to life i'm
prisonment and his wife to twenty-five
years in the penitentiary. They will
begin their sentences at once, though
an appeal to the supreme court will
be taken. Boyle declares that a Pitts
burg lawyer of high standing has been
engaged and will plead their cases. He
also says that the name of a promi-
nent person will be made known which
will shock the country. He says he
has been made the butt in the case
and will make others who are guilty
suffer.
Both Boyle and wife collapsed COM
pletely upon hearing their sentences.
When started back to the Jail Boyle
managed to walk with assistance down
the steps, but reaching the front door
became limp and had to be carried
into an omnibus which carried him to
jail. Mrs. Boyle was even worse She
had to be carried down three fights of
stairs to the street. She was carried
into vehicle and then into Jail where
she wept violently. Because of their
condition it was considered unneces-
sary to manacle them. Boyle had moth
ing to say when sentenced and the
Judge told him Of the heinous nature
OF the crime he committed. "In ancient
times punishment was death" said the
Judge, "but the Pennsylvania law is
more lenient"
Mrs. Boyle declared herself innocent
and thought the evidence flimsy, but
the court said that was a matter for
the jury.
That the threats of Mrs. Boyle Of
double suicide are not IDLE was demon
strated today BY the discovery Of a
razor hidden in his necktie by Boyle.
Mrs. Boyle had taken a quantity Of
morphine in the night but this had
only an effect Of making her sick. All
dangerous things were taken from
Boyle and his wife. Both are being
carefully watched.
Sheriff Chess believes it was Boyle's
intention to kill his wife and himself
last night. Boyle asked permission
to visit his wife's cell, but was re-
fused, the sheriff being suspicious. "a
vagrant in jail said he loaned Boyle
a razor to shave himself. A special
guard has been placed over Boyle and
his wife.

speech Of Carter, Of Montana, in
which the latter referred to the
abundance of information at the dis
posal of Senators on the tariff. He
then had the clerk read an extract
from the speech of McCumber in
which the latter complained of the
lack of information at hand. The
clerk also read an extract from the
speech Of Aldrich saying that he had
no knowledge, Of what occurred on
the ways and means committee. Al
drich then said .sarcastically that he
had not the ability of the Senator
from Indiana. but. If the latter would
devote little time to the study of
these questions he would serve his
country better than by proclaiming
his lack of information. Senator
Hepburn having the floor, refused to
give way further and took up the
lead schedule.
