HIGH JUMP FIVE FEET
FIVE INCHES

Milwaukee, Wis, June 21.-The
Marquette University athletic meet
for High School boys on Saturday
was the scene of the breaking of
some national records. Remarkable
marks were achieved by the boys
of the Eighth grade schools of the
city, the most notable performance
being the high Jump of feet, 8
inches by Barron of the Twenty-third
district school, four inches above the
previous national record, made in
New York City the past spring. The
so yard dash was done in 1-5 sec
onds by Higgins, one-fifth of a
second better than the New York
time.

The nrOSnRctS,

making of a mine. The prospects.
| therefore, are not to be overlooked
or dispised. The prospect is a liv-
ing factor of immense possibilities
in the world of mining. The bulk
of the colossal fortunes accumulated
in gold mining have been made by
purchasing and developing cheap
prospects.
| Any old-time, veteran miner may re
call from his stock of fading remin-
| iscences the prospects he has aban-
doned or could have controlled for
trifling consideration, which have
since been developed into great
mines. The highest scientific at
tainments in chemistry, metallurgy
and mechanism have been applied to
the great and growing mining in
dustry. 1t is no longer controlled
by haphazard methods and luck, but
has been reduced to a bread bust
ness basis.
In approximating the value of a
gold mine it is we'll to bear in mind
two fundamental principles: First,
mining is not an exact science; Sec
ond the laws of nature, as applied
underground, are not fixed and i'm
mutable.
And what are these institutions?
Simply nothing but manufacturing in
dustries, calling for large capital,
good manufactures, competent fl
nanciers and common-sense econ
omics; practically nothing more. And
the only difference between this and
other manufacturing is that you
can't overstock the market, don't
have to curtail production in dull
times, and have always a fixed price
for your goods and sell them to a
pretty good institution-Uncle Sam.
The Black Hills around Lead and
Deadwood have taken out SAT, 900, 00C
in gold in the past thirty years.
Any part of the Black Hills is an ex-
pensive place to live, but the wages
for all classes and trade seems to
be good. There is an especial scar
city for good teachers for the
schools and for men who are quail
fled to act as superintendent Of
schools.
Wild Bill and Calamity Jane are
buried side by side on one Of the
highest and most inaccessible peaks
of the Black Hills. 1t might be
we'll to ask Mrs. Decker if she en-
joyed visiting their graves.
Rapid City is one of the very best
towns connected with the Black
Hills. It is a railroad center and
virtually the gateway of the hills -
1t is the next city that I shall visit.
Then I write up Hot Springs in the
southern part of the hills, and from
there secure a write-up of the coal
mining industry at Sheridan, Wy
oming.
The weather at present is fine,
but the springs are very late up
here. The heavy rains have washed
out many sections of the different
railroads, so that trains at present
are very uncertain.
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1909-06-24


the Black Hills are a success. The
Homesteak Mine has twenty years
of ore in sight
Lead is the beating, business heart
Of the Black Hills. Luck, chance, &C
cident, is the prospector's stock in
trade, and that is what brought this
city into existance. 1t is a long cry
from the pocket-hunter's rocker of
thirty years ago to the quartz mill
of today, but the difference between
the two marks the advancement and
progress of the gold-getting bust
ness in the gold fields of the Black
Hills.
The pocket-hunter, the original
miner of the romantic days, is a
part of story that has been told.
He has found his last "color' and
struck his last trace" The advent
of modern-day, gold-getting giants,
the complete taking up of once free
domain, has forced him to HE into
the dim and fading past. The man
who, thirty years ago, worked from
sunrise till dusk over his crude
rocker, with a pistol in his belt
and rifle near at hand, has passed
the days of his usefulness. There
was a time when he was neces-
sity. During the palmy days of the
age of gold the pioneer miner and
his rocker played an important part;
and to their credit, let it he said,
they played it we'll. The pioneers
shallow diggings were indications of
ledge-ribbed mountains, of hidden
treasures beyond his shovel-handle's
length, which was his limitation.
The traveller through the Black
Hills gets a fitting glance from the
car window of monster quartz mills,
of long lines of pipes and bitches
and fumes everywhere. Yet, each
one of these great mines with their
laundering quartz mill had a small, a
very small beginning. Along that
same stream, where today the giants
are robbing the mountains of their
gold, grizzled pioneer led his pack
pony, laden with pick, shovel, pan
and grub kit. He followed the
stream and PANIED the, dirt, washing
each pan carefully down and close
ly scanning the residue for colors
of gold.
The Golden Era inaugurated a
unique and picturesque world in the
Black Hills, devoted to mining the
precious metals. 1t was the cradle
of Dakota gold mining and teemed
with adventure, hardship, tragedy, ro
nance and riches. Mining was then
a gamble, pure and simple. No pre-
yious knowledge or experience was
available and experts were unknown,
but they soon grew to the occasion.
Extravagant and fanciful notions pre-
vailed. Miners were controlled by
impulse, sentiment or ''hunch, -
and to hit the pay streak was a
question of muscle and luck only,
yet it was most fascinating and
serious business.
The prospect or undeveloped
mine is an important feature in
every camp. Perhaps but small
percentage of prospects make mines,
yet every great mine was once an
insignificant prospect. Mines do not
blossom out in the light of day,
ready made to be claimed by the
first tramp that comes along, but
are developed, MADE by diligent
Work-often many years and large
OUTLAWS of cash are devoted to the
