Der, December, January, February,
March and April, or either of said

1T WAS A SURPRISE MATCH
Miss QuibbIe Comes to Hills to Visit
and Meds Man of Her Choice
Unknown to Parents.

When Miss Ruth E. Quibble left
the home of her parents at Merriman,
Neb., last week, ostensibly for short
visit with relatives in South Dakota,
her parents little suspected that she
was going to home of her own. Miss
Quibble proceeded to Deadwood and
as soon as she arrived was met by
Frank P. Breeze, formerly of Rapid
City, and they we're quickly married
by Rev. Hugh Hay. the Methodist
minister. The ceremony had scarcely
taken place when the sheriff received
a telegram from the girls father stat
ing that she was under age and had
eloped and to stop the marriage, but
the message was a few hours too late.
Breeze went to Deadwood before his
bride and purchased barber shop of
his own and now Cupid is laughing
over his little joke.

Fell In Lime Kiln,

Frank Browner, an employe of F.
H. Perry, who is building a new lime
kiln at Canyon lake, met with an ac-
cident Tuesday. While he was work.
ing on high scaffolding the fasten-
ing gave away and he was precipitat-
ed to the ground amid the scaffolding
debris. He fell a distance of over
twenty feet, landing on pile of stone
and brick, and was picked up by
workmen. He was rendered uncon-
scious and sustained the fracture of a
rib with severe abrasions. He was
bought to this city and given atten-
tention by DIR. Robinson. His in
juries consisted of broken rib, deep
cash in scalp and laceration of upper
lip. After his wounds were dressed
and he had rested few minutes he
was able to walk to his home.

Indian school to the brick plant win
to be inspected; several bridges on
Rapid creek below the city looked
over, and trip made to Farming
dale to see how the road work is pro.

along the highway between, this city
and Pactola are anxious to. have the
road put in proper shape for travel, 1t
having been neglected for some time,
especially since the spring floods
which did much damage to the road.
This city has suffered in trade from
that direction on this account, many.
people driving to Deadwood, q much

In addition to this there will be re-
quests for bridge repairs, bridges and

Had Marrow Escape.

Roy Hawks, the young son Of a
homesteader living near Owanka, had
a remarkably narrow escape from be-
ing torn to pieces by the blades of q
disc on Wednesday. While riding on
the disc, which was being drawn by
horses, he lost his balance and fell to
the ground directly in front Of the
wheels. The fact that the ground
was soft was all that saved him from
being cut to death. When persons
nearby rushed to his assistance it was
found necessary to raise the disc by
hand In order to release him from his
position under the machine.

Mine OWNERS
Col. j. A. George Gets Ruling
in Mining Survey Case
of Much Interest.
100000 llpt pt1uRMABlE BY THIS RULING
Believed Survey Of Mining Claims
Nae Cost Double and Decision
Makes 1t Returnable.

Frank Pierce, first assistant of the
department Of the interior, has just
rendered decision In the case of Pc
ter N. Hanson, taken up with the de-
partment as test case by Col. James
A. George. The appeal was for re-
fund of moneys paid the surveyor
general for surveying mining claims
in the Black Hills, the particular case
being known as the dump lode, sur
vey No. 1760, located near Portland.
Col. George had many such claims
with him and took this as test at
his own expense. 1t has been the
custom where one claim was surveyed
and the owner wished to go through
the regular process of having four
maps made and field notes cop
led, to make a charge of $50 for
one claim, $50 for two, and 500
per claim for all in excess of
two filings. Col. George took the
matter up for number of, claimants
who thought this excessive for the
reason that the cost should not ex-
ceed over half that amount. About
5000, 600 has been paid into the United
States treasury in this manner, and
by the decision of the secretary of the
interior in the Hanson case, it will
mean the refunding of about 800, 900
to the owners of claims in the Black
Hills region alone, to say nothing of
those in other sections of the coun-
try. ~,
The secretary says:
s'The letters of the surveyor gener-
al transmitted with the records show
that on May 20, 1909. appellant depos-
tied In the office of the surveyor gen
eral $50 for the survey. Of the Dump
,lode,- and that an order for survey was
issued to United States Mineral Sur
veyor H. S. Vincent Survey No. l760),
which was made June IL, 1903, and
returned to your office June %, 1903.
1t was approved July II thereafter
and the plats and field notes of said
survey were received by appellant.
"The act of February "a, 1909, au-
thorizes the secretary of the treasury
to pay out of the money coming into
the treasury from deposits made by
individuals to cover the cost of work
performed and to be performed in the
offices Of the United States survey yors
general in connection with the survey
of mineral lands any excess in the
amount deposited over and above the
actual expenses incident thereto, for
which the deposits were severally
made, or the whole of any unused de-
posit.'"
From the decision it is evident that
all money paid for surveying claims
in excess of the actual expense must
be returned to the claim owner by the
surveyor general. There has been
upwards of 5000, 900 paid in this man
ner under the old rule, and perhaps
S1O0, 900 is is in excess of the actual
expense and returnable to min ing
claim holders.
