Found Gold in Sand

MITCHELL week or so ago Mr..
Yahne and his sons were digging post
holes on his farm, four miles south
west of the city, when one OF the
boys threw out spade full of sand
he noticed some glittering particles
that Immediately arrested his atten-
ton He called hts fathers attention
to it and a closer investigation was
made. To them all it appeared that
there was gold mixed with the sand.
Mr.. Yahne gathered up some of the
sand and brought it to the city and
tried to find some one who could
pass something Of an estimate upon
the presence of gold.
The sand was later sent to Denver
to the assay office by O. L. Bran
son: The assayer's certificate stated
that the sand sample contained suf-
8f1cient gold to yield s1:20 per ton.
Joy lit up the face of Mr.. Yahne when
he saw what the certificate contain
ed. Mr.. Yafne states that there are
ifnense quantities of sand In his sec
ton and that 1t runs about six feet
deep in that vicinity There is a
small portion of clay mixed up with
the sand, and the first fear was that

Ranchman Made Good

Pierre-What South Dakota will
do for the man who is willing to
work, or what man who is willing
to work can do for himself in South
Dakota is well exemplified in the
case of Eugene Carr, who lives on a
ranch in Harding county in the north
west corner Of the state. Some years
ago Carr was a gambler about Spear
fish, but firing of that kind of a life
he went east where he cut out cards
and married and settled down to
work for small wages. BY economy
the family lived on his earnings, but
with growing family came growing
needs, and Carr decided it was up to
him to make a move. He knew OF
the possibilities of the west and came
back to Belle Fourche. landing at the
place broke" He borrowed a sad
die from an old time friend, and car
rying 1t on his back sought another
friend up in Butte county, where he
secured two ponies, and went to work
rs a cowboy. He saved all he could,
and filed on claim and sent for his
family Then with further savings
secured "a few cattle and looked after
them. That was six years ago, and
today he Is the owner of a ranch and
a herd Of cattle which he could sell
any day for thirty thousand dollars.
He cut out cards for all time, and
will not even play for pastime. and
by actions since locating on the range
has the respect and confidence VI
every ranch owner in that part Of the
state. His ranch Is a general stop
ping place for those who travel in
that section, and all are welcomed.
Many other men who were willing
to take the hard knocks Of frontier
life for few years and put in their
time at hard work have done as well
as Carr has, and the way is just as
wide open today for the man who is
seeking out living in the east on q
small salary, as it was when Carr
came back to the west to make a
home for his family. It will not he a
play spell for few years. but hard
work and good business management
will bring like results to any man who
is willing to take the work, and In
a few years he ican have a home and
ample income of his own instead of
working on daily wage barely suf-
ficent to keep himself and family
from day to day..

WHITE MAN SECOND VICTIM.
Blood Thirsty Mob Doesn't Draw the
Color Line.

Henry Salzner, white man, and a
photographer by trade who killed his
wife last July, with an ak, was taken
out of the county jail at 11:40 o'clock
by the mob and hanged to a telegraph
pole and his body riddled with bullets.
The mob gave Salzner a chance to
confess after the rope was around his
neck, but he was so frightened that
he could only murmur that his sisters
did the killing.
The mob grew restless after this
and it was hard work to keep them
off of Salzner long enough to give him
chance to pray. The mob finally
