What Government Geological
Survey Is Finding.

Mitchell-A government geological
party is conducting research work on
the Standing Rock Indian Reserva-
ton in the northern part of South
Dakota, and they are making some
important finds among the hills where
they have dug for quite depth,
One of the most important finds so
far has been that of an ossified bone
which was taken from the ground at
great depth. The biologists declare
that 1t has been slowed away in the
earth for period of thousand years.
According to the estimate of the re-
search party this is thigh bone of
the animals that roamed over this
country during that period. They
make the claim that an elephant
would apear about the size of calf
in comparison to full grown ele-
plant. 1t is claimed that these an.
imals belong to the rhinoceros family,
having three horns.
In the vicinity of Mcintosh the
ground seems to be filled with many
curios which the research party have
been digging out and sending to the
museum.

towns over the state, as no banks can
be organized in the state after the
first of July with less than $4,000 Of
capital. This new law may reduce the
number of banks in the smaller towns.
While the bank guaranty law does
not go into effect until the first Of
next month, no banks have yet shown
any indication of placing themselves
under the provisions of the act.
The law makes the coming under its
provisions purely voluntary act, and
1t is not considered probable that any
great number of banks will take ad-
vantage of it.

BRIDGE GOES OUT WITH WATER
People West Of Missouri Demand New
Steel Bridge.

People West Of Missouri Demand New
Steel Bridge.
Mitchell.-People living west OF the
Missouri river have become dissatis-
fed with the Chicago, Milwaukee &
St. Paul railroad on account of not
placing permanent bridge across the
river at Chamberlain.
Ever since the pontoon bridge was
established at Chamberlain it has
been swept away in the spring and
summer, either by the ice going out
in March or by the June rise. 1t has
been a regular thing. and the people
west of the river have been unable
to get freight, supplies running short,
causing more or less suffering.
The bridge is out usually from two
to three weeks during each season of
the year
Last year dozen petitions were
started for circulation between Cham
berlain, to include all towns to Rapid
City, directed to the state railroad
commission, petitioning it to use all
honorable means possible in bringing
about and compelling the Chicago
Milwaukee & st. Paul railroad COM
pany to construct, erect, establish and
maintain a permanent steel bridge at
a point where said road crosses the
Missouri river at Chamberlain, s. D.,
for the reason that from three to six
times a year the wooden bridge now
in use by said company is torn out,
caused by floating ice and high water,
which puts all freight traffic out of
commission for period of ten days
to one month; that even when the
wooden bridge is in use for all pur-
poses that it is even then unsafe and
dangerous to the lives and limbs of
all persons crossing the same ON the
trains of said company for the reason
that the bridge is always in a more
or less dilapidated condition, that it
may collapse at any time with a train
load of people while crossing the
same.
