and all the public works are owned
by the Homestake company. The
employees are permitted to lease
lots and build houses upon them,
but in case the owner desires to dis
pose Of his property the company
agrees to purchase it at an apprais-
ment. But it has never evicted a
tenant, and, although more than
|2,100 of it's employees are members of
the Western Federation of Miners
there has never been a strike. The
union owns some of the finest build
ings in the city, has handsome sur
plus in its treasury and is one OF
the most effective as it is one of the
most conservative labor organiza-
lions in the world.
Three or four years ago certain
notorious agitators from the fedora
ton in Colorado came here to or
ganize a strike, but they left Lead
very suddenly and have never re-
turned. The officials of the Lead
Union permit no outsiders to inter-
fere in their relations with the
Homestake company.
Lead has a million dollar water
plant, an electric light plant. its
streets are paved and macadamized
it has a modern hospital founded
and maintained by the company
seven Of the finest schoolhouses in
the United States, the forty teachers
in its public schools receive the
highest salaries paid to their profess
sion in the entire world; the children
are provided with Fairgrounds and
gymnasiums, and Mrs. Hearst sup
ports personally a free library and
"a free kindergarten for children be-
low school age at an average cost of
$1,000 a month The kindergarten is
located in the most attractive section
Of the city, surrounded by a play
ground and adjoining park.
The principal trading establish
ment, and, in fact, the only one in
Lead, belongs to Mrs. Hearst and is
conducted under the title of the
Hearst Mercantile Company
That good LADY has not been here
for several years, but the people of
Lead hold her in high esteem and at
the time of her last visit presented
her a loving cup costing $500,
which was paid for by small contri-
buttons from almost every man,
woman and child in the city.
Mrs. Hearst owns the hotel and al
most all the other property in the
city. Her income from the City of
Lead is estimated at $2,5oo,o0 a
year.

died and watered his horse and eaten
a few mouthfuls of hard tack, every
soldier dropped in the softest place
he could find on the ground and
went to sleep.
And that was the way mutiny was
prevented. That was the end Of the
first mining camp in the Black Hills.
The guide books and some of the
histories Of South Dakota say that
H. N. Ross was Clusters chief of
scouts, but that is q mistake, which
Ross himself would be the first to
correct. Lonesome Charley Rey-
holds was the chief Of scouts, the
man whose body lay across that of
General Custer when the dead were
counted after the battle of the Little
Big Horn. Ross was a professional
miner from Bismarck, and after the
treaty was signed was one OF the
first to return to the Black Hills. He
lived until 1906 at Custer City, near
1y thirty years, and was city marshal
there for long time. When l visit
ed Custer City in 1902 I met him for
the first time since the Custer ex-
petition disbanded at Fort lincoln,
N. D., in October, 1S74--that would
be twenty-eight years previous, hut
he remembered me. AS I offered
him my hand said:
II don't expect you know me, Mr.
Ross, but was with you IN the
Custer expedition, and you taught
me how to pan out gold."

John Allen Of Montana was an

eighteen years, and then went to
Alaska, where he died in 1893. +

order had been issued forbidding CIV
ilians from accompanying the expe-
dition. It was my good fortune to
be one Of three newspaper cores
pondents with the command. but, in
order that I might go, it was neces-
sary for General Sheridan to ap-
point me as a clerk to the sergeant
major of the Seventh Cavary
The miners found traces Of gold
in the grass roots soon after we
entered the Black Hills, and On July
8, 1874, a sensational discovery was
made about one mile east of the site
Of the town now called; Custer City,
1t is delightful spot and, having
penty of grass and plenty of water,
the expedition went into camp there
for several days, while General Gus
ter sent out scouting parties and es-
corts for the scientists who were
making inspections in different parts
Of, the hills. During his absence the
soldiers, having nothing else to do,
initiated the professional miners in
prospecting along the banks of the
creeks, using their tin plates, wash
basins, coffee cups, bucket covers and
everything else that would hold
water in washing out the sand
With the instructions of H. N. Ross,
one of the miners, in my wash basin
I washed out gold dust enough to
fill a small vial, and almost every
body who tried got "color." -.
The consequences were serious.
The soldiers became very much OK
cited and held mass meeting at
which they organized town and
elected officials, with determination
to remain there instead of following
Clusters march during the rest OF the
summer and back to Fort Lincoln.
The general, who had been or on
a four days reconnaissance, returned
to camp about IL o'clock the night
after the town meeting His mutt

Custer was a man Of great resources
ana great determination. and realiz-

morning the camp was aroused by
what was supposed to be an attack

the command they had not attacked

| The Homastake mine, which be-
longs to Mrs. Phoebe A. Hearst,
widow of the late Senator Hearst
of California, and J. B. Haggin and
brother, is probably the greatest gold
producer in the world, and has paid
more than s45,O00,0o0 in dividends.
The company owns an area of $500
acres, including the town of Lead,
I and its plant reduces about 1000
tons of ore a day, with an average
value of $s.72 per ton. There is ore
enough exposed to last fifty years at
that rate The mills are equipped
with 1000 stamps. The company
employs about $500 men. The ore
is mined in 1oo-foot drifts through
six main shafts, ranging from 900
to 1,400 feet deep.
The company has a monthly pay
roll of about ,$25o,o00, and, among
other wonders Of the place, it owns
the largest stamp mill in the world;
the largest cyanide reducing plant
in the world; the largest system Of
underground railroads in any mine;
and since it has been owned by the
present proprietors, it has produced
more than $165, 200, 900 in gold up to

Independent SulnQ Trust.

The allegations in the bill of
complaint filed with the United
States Circuit Court at Raleigh
by the Ware Kramer Tobacco
Company. of Wilson, suing the
American Tobacco Company for
81. 400, 900, are certainly far from
meaningless. They purport to
show how the defendant, in the
alleged language of one of its
representatives at Wilson, plan
ned to crush hell out of you and
your new company" and follow
you to China, Japan or anywhere
else in the world" 1t is declar-
ed that a trust agent, (whose
name is given) traced a Chinese
shipment of the Ware-Kramer
cigarettes, the trust desiring to
dispute even this remot, terri
tory. Wilson business men were
prosecuted for their connection
with the Ware-Kramer people,
says the plaintiff, and all such
trust methods as extra discounts
to jobbers were employed. The
picture presented shows en-
trenched capital and business or
ganization brutally crushing by
brute weight a small competitor
who challenges its divine right
to do the tobacco business of the
country. Whether this picture
is in any or all respects true we
cannot say-that is The courts
province; but that it may prove
largely true is far from improba.
BILE. We hope that the suit will
be pushed theoretically to a con-
clusion. In relation to public
sentiment, at least, there are lar.
ger possibilities than we could
ever see in any of the various
prosecutions instituted against
the American Tobacco Company
by the government. Charlotte
