Carroll's Ground Adjoins Saginaw,

T. J. Carroll is the owner of a grour
of claims, adjoining the Saginaw prop
erty in the Custer district and lies be-
tween this mine and the we'll known
Roosevelt group, the latter owned by
Otto P. Th. Grantz of this city. The
Carroll ground has been pretty thorough.
ly opened up, or enough at least to show
it's possibilities. There have been sunk
three shafts of respectively so, 20 and 75
feet in depth, all of them on ledges
which show considerable value in gold.
The property has been opened up in
other places by means of open cuts and
drifts and while this work was in pro-
gress careful system of sampling was
kept up. The work has demonstrated
the fact that there are five principal
veins on the property which show as
say values of from 81 to s. per ton in
gold.
The veins are not large ones, but they
appear to be permanent and are un-
doubtedly in place. Several years ago
mill run was made of ore taken from
this ground, and it was stated at that
time that a saving of $6.l5 per ton in
gold was recovered on the plates. This
ore was taken from the veins running
from two to four and half feet in width
and was said to be fair average of all
the ledges mined at that time. Mr.. Car
roll is figuring on further development
in the near future and expects to be able
to open up ledges of greater proportions.

A Halloween Party.

Friday night October 20, a jolly crowd
of eighteen boys and girls gathered at
the home of Miss Gladys Fitch, In Hal
lowe'en merry-making. The party was
the first of a series of parties to be given
this winter by the Seniors of the High
School.
The guests were hidden to come as
ghosts, and just after dark they began
silently to arrive. A light at the rear
of the house indicated an entrance,
where each was met by ghost and es-
corted through mysterious passage to
an upper hall. There another white
robbed figure met him with jacko'lan-
tern and ushered him into a dainty lit
chamber.
When at length all the guests had ar.
rived they found their partners for sup
per by unwinding q dextrously woven
cobweb of silk threadss On the table
prettily decorated in ribbons and a jacko-
centerpiece, were found neat pumpkin
place cards.
After delicious supper, the guests re-
paired to the shadowy corner of hall
where sat veritable old witch. Each
one in turn had his palm read and his
faith revealed to him. The witch told
SO accurately incidents of the past and
present, that no one could doubt that
the future too was told alright. The
fortunes afforded much amusement for
the crowd, and satisfaction to each in
dividual, for the Fates that night SEEM
ed kind and for each guest was a rosy
future pictured.
The remainder of the evening was
spent in doing Stunts" until the clock
struck the witching hour of midnight
and the happy guests bade their hostess
goodnight.

May Resume Diamond Drill Work at the
Saginaw Mine.

President 1. w. Herber ofthe Saginaw
Mining company, whose ground is To-
Gated in the Custer district is working
on plan to resume diamond drill work
on the property and believes that they
will yet be able to locate the position of
the big ledge, which there is every rea-
son to believe will be found at depth in
that ground. The surface indications all
over the property and the existence of
valuable ore veins, disclosed in the shaft
and tunnel work, make it certain that
there should be large body of material
at no great depth from the surface, but
1t appears that an incorrect estimate was
made as to the location of this vein and
consequently the diamond drill work
was prospected without satisfactory re-
suits. 1t is the opinion of mining men
who have recently examined the prop
erty, that the diamond drill hole was
put down entirely too far to the west
aud that if another attempt is made at
the same character of work, different re-
suits will be obtained. The drill hole
was sunk by W. Seineke, to a depth of
500 feet and although it encountered
stringers of good grade ore, it did not
open up the ledge that was being pros
pected for.
The Saginaw Mining company have
worked faithfully to develop their ground
and have succeeded in demonstrating
that they have one of the best PROPOSE
tions in that section of the country.
They have expended upwards of $780,
600 in mining and building and have a
thoroughly equipped plant for the carry
ing on of similar work for long time to
come. Their main shaft, which was
sunk to develop four foot vein of free
milling quartz, has been put down to a
depth of $50 feet and they have accom-
plished about $50 feet of drifting and
cross cutting. The ore vein is one of
fair milling value, but the object of the
company has been to open up q larger
body and increase their mill work grad
ually. They have constructed well de-
signed ten stamp mill, with a concen-
trating equipment and cyanide annex,
which did excellent service while In op-
GRAFTON. 1t was built with view to in.
creasing its capacity and can be readily
added to when occasion requires. The
property is we'll provided with timber
and the water supply is ample for all
present needs.-Pioneer.Times

Have r eason to be Proud.

The future prosperity of the State o.
South Dakota, aside from its geographic
cal position with its magnificent river
making 1t valuable asset of commerce,
consists in its natural resources. Chief
of which is its mineral wealth which in
its broadest sense includes its rich vir-
gin soil, the foundation and support OF
agriculture, the basis upon which the
prosperity, the civilization, and inde-
pendence of a people mainly rests. The
gold mines of that portion of our state
called the Black Hills are as remarkable
for their production as any equal area
in the world, while her mountains of
gypsum, her rich veins Of tin and her
inexhaustible quarries of beautiful vari-
egated sandstone for building purposes
are nowhere to be surpassed. On our
northern border the outcropping veins
OF coal are sufficient to supply our peo'
pie for years. In the eastern portion of
our state we have quarries of granite of
unsurpassed beauty and quality. Our
artesian supply of mineral and health.
giving water is one of our valuable as
sets, and so far as partial investigation
has been made warrant the belief that
we will soon be drawing FROM beneath
our feet the great illuminating oil of the
world. 1t is unnecessary to 60 into fur
ther details, but from the foregoing cita-
tions of our mineral resources the peo-
pie of South Dakota have reason to be
proud of their state and anticipate the
time when it will become one of the
richest states of our federal union

James J. Hill, builder Of the Great
Northern railway, is to deliver an ad-
dress to the farmers and visitors at the
National Corn exposition to be held in
Omaha, December 9th to IS. Mr.. Hill
says he will present some figures to
show that the west and northwest are
not indebted to favorable seasons and
brute force alone for the good crops
which will be harvested this year. He
is firm believer in the mixing of fbrains
with muscle and gives brains most ofthe
credit. His address is one of the big
drawing cards of the exposition.

Stock Losses on National Forests.

In the future the Forest Service viii
endeavor to obtain complete reports al
to the causes of all losses of live stock
upon the National Forests. Forest
guards and rangers have been instructed
to keep a strict account of all live stock
found dead in their districts, reporting
to the Forester at the end of each month
the number found and listing the causes
of death as far as possible under one OF
four heads-accident, disease, poison
and wild animals.
1t is believed that such record will
be of great value to stockmen in assist
ing them to figure up the percentage of
their losses and materially aiding them
in preventing some of the losses through
corrective measures. For instance, if an
unusually large number of stock are
found dead in some particular locality,
due to poison from dangerous plants, it
will be possible to meet this condition
by fencing up the area, or perhaps dig
ging up the poisonous plants.
If several animals are found killed by
wild animals in some lone canyon, the
hunter employed for that purpose, or
the ranger himself can investigate the
matter and either trap, poison, or shoot
the mountain lion or predatory animal
responsible for the damage. The rangers
and guards are constantly riding over
their districts in the Forests and have
better opportunities for finding dead
live stock than the stockmen themselves,
and as each Forest ranger is supplied
with the brands of all stock in his dist
trict, he can generally identify the stock
by brands and marks and thus advise
the owners.

Is Your Family Reading Worth While

Is Your Family Reading Worth While P
So much of current reading is merely
entertaining at best that the question
naturally arises, Is it worth while ?
Your sons and daughters are bound to
read something. They hunger for stor-
les which take them into the half of the
world-the world of adventure, of valor,
of fortune-making. The problem is to
give them such reading without putting
into their hands the literature that is
either silly or demoralizing. The edi-
tors of The Youths Companion believe
that periodical can be made entertain
ing and yet "worth WHILE" and The
Companion is conducted on that theory.
And that is one reason why more than
half million American families read it,
The paper is safe, but not dull. It's
tales of adventure illustrate the advan-
tages of fortitude and self-reliance. Its
stories of character lay stress on the
truth that right conduct is never a mis-
take.

was simply a case of reckless, criminal
carelessness. He thought he would save
little work and instead of blowing a
fire break, as the law requires he under
took to burn fire break or he thought
he could watch the burning of an old
stack bottom that was in his way, and
not having sufficient help the fire got
away from him, burning some of his
own property besides property of his
neighbors, and in so much as by his
carelessness he disobeyed the law, the
Fire Marshal had to secure his arrest
and fine or imprisonment, and, if he
was worth any money, his neighbors
may get satisfaction. He must not only
stand the loss of his own property but
pay the neighbors also for the loss Of
their property.
