property was in town this forenoon on
business. The Judge has recently
placed on the mine a testing mill, a
rotary grinder of about one ton capac-
ity. He keeps the same running right
along and is making thorough tests of
his ore from which he is getting good
results. He had with him a little
amalgam secured from recent ore
tests also an unusually rich free gold
specimen of Hornblend schist in which
he finds the values. The gold in the
specimen he showed us is very fine and
it took glass to see it all to realize
the richness of this particular rock.
The ledge is of considerable width, the
Judge says, but it's fullness has not
yet been ascertained. The ore for the
tests is taken from an open cut where
a body of ore Of about 8 feet has been
opened up, and the sampling of this
ore body has returned very satisfac-
tory results, and Mr.. Bennett thinks
that by spring the development will
have sufficiently progressed to warrant
the erection of a reduction plant"

to the public notice and it could only
have reached place on the statute
book through inadvertence. Had 1T
attracted any attention during its
progress through congress it must have
been promptly killed by the ridicule
it would have provoked, while itmust
be assumed that the president signed
it in moment of distraction without
clearly experimenting its import.
To create artificial crimes and mis-
demeanors is an undesirable proceed
ing at all times which nothing short
of some urgent public need can justi-
fy or excuse. But what public need
requires that the making of a check
for q less sum than one dollar be pro-
hibited? That is a matter of ilerela
private concern of which no legisla-
ture has any call to take notice. 1t is
not customary to write a check for
less than dollar and most people
would not think of doing so, but If
the banks do not object why anyone
else should mind does not at first APP

Black Hills Weather.

Spearfish Enterprise: "The fall of
1909 will serve well as an example Of
what a benign nature can do in the
line of beautiful autumn weather
when she really sets herself about it.
Here in the Spearfish valley, although
the calendar marks the first week in
November-a season when all dwell
iers in this latitude expect cold wea
ther, snow and winter storms, the
ground is as bare and dry, and the
wind almost as balmy, as they were
in June. Were it not for the frost
that came the fore part of October
to kill the too persistent vegetation,
one would not know, to look over the
surrounding hills and Yales, whether
the season might be summer or au-
tumn.
"There have been, up to this time,
only few nights of frost. No snow
whatever has fallen in this locality,
though there has been slight fall in
the hills. And there has been scarce
| ly day cold enough to make an over
coat necessity. Instead of the cold
bleak days that usually come in the
eastern states at this time of the
year, we have enjoyed bright sun
shine and soft caressing breezes. The
air, pure and bracing, but not cold,
fills the lungs with health and vigor
the eye with lustre and the heart
with hope.
"We do not know how much longer
this kind of weather will last; old set
tier say it is not improbable that il
may continue up to and past the hol
idays. But even if should end now
there has been at least six week
shorn from the front end of winter
And the man who would kick at thi
sort of treatment would be hard t.
please.
"And still some people go ava
i from the Black Hills country to lool
for a better climate. Vain, vail
lquest. California may be hotter, Al
iona dryer, but nowhere can yU
beat the Hills country for pure al
and sunshine"

Storage Building Owned by Fritz
Schleunlng.
A fire which started in a mysterious
manner Sunday evening, destroyed
the old cold storage building, causing
a loss of about 81, 500 to Fritz Schleun-
ing, the owner. The building was in
sured for $500. Under the impression
that the fire was of incendiary origin,
an investigation has been carried on.
AS the building has been. empty for
some time, parties for want of a bet
ter place, have occupied it as sleeping
quarters contrary to the wishes of the
owner who has repeatedly fastened
the doors. OF late an old man known
as ''Fred' has been sleeping in the
building. He was seen in the vicini-
ty shortly before the fire.
The building was built several years
ago by the letter Brewing company
as storage and warehouse for liq-
uors, more recently occupied by the
Barker Brothers.

Last week we published In this pa

which we copied from another paper,
in which it was stated that the material
for making the destroyer could be
secured at any drug store. said material
being common article Of commerce
known as "Quassis Chips" We know
that not less than dozen people have
told ne that they wanted to use the
remedy but couldn't fnd the quassia
chips at any OF the drug stores. Seems

ought to appreciate The free advertising
enough to at least order sufficient Of the
chips to supply the demand OF their
patrons
