Decision Rendered.

A case that has been watched with
much interest by the people of the
country. more especially those living
near Edgemont, was decided June 9th.
1t was the matter of the hearing of SIM
ultaneous applications of Newton s Tubbs
and Thomas j. Kerr, both of Edgemont.
1t seems that on the 22nd day of July
1908, both filed entries at the land Office,
Kerr for homestead entry and Tubbs for
desert entry, to a piece of land adjoining
the Edgemont canal, about seven miles
north of the above named town. As the
land Office could not decide until hear
ing was had, both parties secured the
services of attorneys to look after their
interests. EASTMAN & Dudley, of this
place and c. L. Wood, ofRapid City, ap'
peared for Kerr, and Wilson & Wilson,
of this place, and A. K. Gardener, ol
Rapid City, appeared for Tubbs. A hear
ling was held about three months ago be-
fore Clerk of Courts Dudley, and then
referred to the land Office at Rapid City
who after due deliberation decided il
favor of Kerr, basing their decision or
other similar cases over the state. Any
person willing to take land as home
stead under the law takes that land from
the desert claim list, therefore Mr.. Kerr
was awarded the decision Spring'
Star.

OF interest to Miner and Prospector.

Since the arrival in Deadwood several
days ago of Mrs. Della Jamison of Omaha
and Fl. A. Gallup Of Grand Island, Neb.,
company has been organized for the
purpose ofdeyeloping the ground former
ly owned by the Redfern Mining COM
pany. The new company is called the
Mount Rath Mining company and has
already received its articles of incorpora-
ton and is ready for businiss. The Red.
fern company was organized about eight
years ago and commenced the develop
of tract of ground just west of the Bur-
lington station at Redfern, nine miles
north of Hill City. The property ad-
joins the Pittsburg ground on the north,
which latter includes in its holdings the
King Solomon and the Kimball claims.
The Redfern property was originally
owned by Joe brennan, Maurice Walsh,
Dennis O'Brien an others, and had been
developed to a sufficient extent to show
up some excellent pro spects.-Deadwood

Life IN the West and its Possibilities.

The Stockton Qlls.) Herald, in its
closing article on the Black Hills, says
in part: The fact is its little cities and
villages are as up to date and progressive
as our Illinois towns. It's business and
professional men as enterprising and
prosperous as those of Illinois Its In
dians, the remnant of that heroic band
of red skins who roamed those hills in
an early day, are as peaceful, industrious
and prosperous as their pale faced neigh
bors, and its cowboys who ride the hills
and plains adjoining for a livelihood are
no better nor worse than our own farmer
boys.
But the question which most concerns
the homeseeker and investor is the
future Of that region. Does it offer
prosperity to the emigrant who is will
ing to rough it few years for the
ownership of some of its virgin soil?
Does it offer opportunities for the ener-
getic business or professional business
man to prosper? In a word, will the
country eventually become rich and
prosperous despite its draw backs, and
yield good home and prosperity to all
industrious men who take hand in
reclaiming it from the domain of nature.
At present there are vast streches of
undeveloped country surrounding the
hills which may be taken up under the
homestead laws or desert act or which
may be bought for few dollars per acre.
A large proportion of it is adapted to
farming as we'll as grazing. The fear of
drought is the only thing which has pre-
vented it from being settled up and de-
veloped long ago. Is it we'll founded
fear or will it prove to have been only
scare as was the experience in other
parts of the west which aftetward devel-
oped into rich and prosperous country.
To our mind the man whether young
or old, who is able and willing to rough
it for few years can prosper by taking
up some of that land and engaging In
mixed farming and stock raising. The
country is more subject to drought tEan
the country farther east but even with
this handicap farming and stock raising
can be made to pay on land that costs
practically nothing. Then it is GER
tainty that land out there as elsewhere
will continue to advance in value and
double and treble in very few years
Our advice therefore, to homeseekers
who are not able to buy higher priced
lands in the more favored sections o.
country is to look up the prospects il
| the so.called dry regions.

Hope For O Tin Tariff.

&c. Johnson of the Gertie tin mine
at Hill City, returned from the east this
week and reports the best OF prospects
for a tariff on tin. Ever since the tariff
bill has been before congress at Wash
ington, Mr.. johnson has been working
in his quiet but usually effective way,
through our South Dakota senators,
Gamble and Crawford to get an amend
ment to the bill, providing for duty on
pig tin and tin ore concentrates. AT a
meeting before the senate finance com
mittee, before the bill was reported ont
to the senate, the committee, of which
Senator Aldrich is chairman, declined
to recommend a tariff on tin. Meyer
theless after the bill reached the senate,
Senator Gamble introduced resolution
fayoring tariff on tin. Just recently
the committee of the whole in the sem
ate has accepted the proposed amend
ment. As soon as tin is reached on the
Free. List" where it is now included,
Senator Gamble will address the senate
in support of the amendment. The
Senator assures Mr.. Johnson that he
has now every confidence that the
amendment will be adopted By majori-
ty vote of the senate. 1t is expected
that tin will be reached on the free list
within the next few days, and if favor
ably passed b. the senate, will soon go
10 conference between the Senate and
House committees, where its fate will
be finally sealed as far as congress is
concerned. Then it will survive or fall
with the whole bill by stroke of Presi-
dent Taft's pen.
Ex-senator Gamble succeeds, as now
seems probable, in getting a tariff on
pig tin and tin ore concentrates, it will
mean a great deal to the tin mining
Industry of the Black Hills. With the
Gertie tin mill at Hill City, all CON-
pleted and ready to handle 100 tons OF
ore per day, as soon as the power plant
is installed, and another mill of equal
capacity about ready to start at linton,
1t will greatly stimulate the activity that
has already commenced among the
owners of tin properties, in developing
their mines; and it is predicted by those
best posted as to the tin resources of the
Black Hills, that within a very few
wears, this famous "Richest one hun.
dred square miles on Earth" will be
producing all the tin that this country
can use.. Senator Gamble and Mr.. John:
son are entitled to much credit for their
indefatigable efforts.

Buffalo Gap FAIR.

Last Saturday large crowd was out
to the Fair meeting and very enthusi-
astic business meeting was transacted,
not only the members ofthe association,
but the public in general taking an active
part. The meeting was opened by an
interesting address by F. M. Stewart
after which the minutes ofthe last meet
ing were read and approved. 1t was
decided that the organization should be
called the Buffalo Gap Fair Association.
E. L. Grantham, of Custer, gave an ex-
cellent talk on the fair question and ex-
planned in very plain way how such
things were great advertisement for the
country, and how the exhibit of produce
advanced the price of land, etc.
DR.. Bently, of Hot Springs, was selected
TO look after the interest of the associa-
ton in that vicinity aud q. B. Smith in
the vicinity of French Creek.
Arrangements were made for the
erection of good buildings, as we'll as for
grounds in good location on which to
conduct the fair. Itwas decided to hold
the Fair at about the same dates as those
of last year. Itisa sure thing that there
will be lively fair held here this fall
There was no discord whatever in the
meeting and everyons seemed to be full
os "push" for the association. The asso
citation is in the hands Of competen
officers, backed up by the people il
general, and that the fair will be grant
success ID assured. Gap Re

Convinced That 1t Pays to Advertise.

The first of this week }. W. Morris
came into the CHRONICLE Office and
ordered post cards printed to recover a
span of horses that had strayed away.
Our reporter showed him notice of
strays taken up, In one of our exchanges
from an adjoining county. He started
out right away and found they were his
horses When he got back we had the
cards printed, which he paid for, fully
convinced that advertising pays.
Moral: When your stock strays of
don't wait or A weeks, but advertise
for them right away; it'might save a
long trip and.a' large expense BILL.

The Ceiebrstlon.

There was not as large crowd in
Custer at the celebration Saturday a,
usually attend the Fourth Of July. How
ever, that might be attributed to severa
reasons. The exercises began about II
O'Clock with foot races by boys and girls
which afforded much amusement.
At IL o'clock Judge MCGEE made 9
short, appropriate address upon the
observance of our Natal day. A large
portion of the audience had to stand on
the sidewalk and as they had no shade,
the address was necessarily brief.
The Fairburn band-1S pieces-dis-
coursed National airs throughout the
day. Their music helped very much to
enliven the exercises. Considering the
short time they have been organized,
they done remarkably we'll.
When time for the bali game the Her
mosa club had failed to appear, so rather
than disappoint the people the boys from
the New York mine played against the
Custer boys. 1t was lively game and
witnessed by large crowd.
An accident delayed the drilling con-
test for sometime.
Those interested in target shooting
witnessed that contest.
During the afternoon there we're sew
eral horse races, but probably the most
amusing was the one where each partic-
ipant had to ride certain distance open
a suitcase, take out and put on a night
robe, close suitcase mount steed with
case and open umbrella and return to
starting point in quickest time. This
was ludicrous affair and created much
merriment among spectators.
While some children had a few small
fire-crackers, it might be termed sane
and enjoyable Fourth.
Some of our readers may be disap-
pointed that we haye not given the
prise-winners in the different contests,
but it is violation of the postal laws
to advertise any game Of chance or men
ton winner of prize in contest. To
give publicity to the winner of even a
"booby" prize at a church or private
social, subjects the paper to fine. The
CHRONICLE reporter had to pay $40 fine
once, for his inadvertence, and don't
care to run another risk.
