ed against Iowa Fraternal insur-
ance companies by the Home
Guardians of this state, under the
provisions of the reciprocity law
of this state, the Iowa companies
will be shut out of any new
business in South Dakota, after
next March. The companies
affected are the modern Brother
hood of America; the Mystic
Toilers: 1eoman: Homesteaders
and Bankers Fraternal. The
Home Guardians were shut out of
Iowa, and filed their complaint on
which the Iowa companies were
given a hearing. All the records
in the case were transmitted to
Attorney General Clark. who
holds that a license to an insurance
company to do business in this
state runs for one year only,
and is no longer in force Un-
der the reciprocity law of the
state it is made the duty of the
insurance commissioner to re-
fuse to issue new licenses to the
above named Iowa companies
when their present licenses expire
the last of next February. This
means in effect that while these
lodges can continue their organi-
cations in this state it must be
without new members, as they
will be prohibited from soliciting
or accepting new members under
the ruling.

A tunnel 10 feet in length has
been driven into the mountain for
the purpose of cutting the vein
which they expect to do at ESQ
feet where the vein will be tapped
at 400 feet. The outcrop is iron
stained with copper. These claims

Mr.. Nelson says there is a large
amount of snow in the mountains,
more than he ever saw before. Al

Dillon Mining News.

J. T.. Leighton and }. Fl. Shanks
came over the Divide from Dillon
Friday and were met at the trans
fer by a livery team from D.. S.
Richmond's barn. MI. Shanks
came down for a saddle horse,
with which he returned via Twin
Groves and the Saw cry country.
Mr.. Leighton went on out Satur-
day for a visit with Milwaukee
business associates. He expects
to return shortly after the 4th of
July and may brin ny a party of
mining men with him to look at
some very valuable mining proper
ty which he is interested in on
the Savery.
Mr.. Leighton and Mr.. Shanks
both report that active work has
been going on in and around Dill
Ion all winter long, and that it
would have been continued had it
been possible to get provisions in
to the camp. Mr.. Leighton
bought the last piece of bacon in
the Dillon Mercantile store a few
DAYS ago. The miners have been
paying 10 cents per pound to have
stuff carried over on snowshoes
from Rambler, just over the div
ide. He says it will not be pos
sible to get in to the town of Dill
Ion before the first of August on
account of the immense quantity,
of snow, which averages 20 feet all
over the entire country. When
Mr.. Leighton left Dillon Friday
morning the snow measured IL
feet in the streets of that town.
The miners are down to beans and
bacon and the latter is just about
gone.
Mr.. Leighton says that the min
ing outlook around Dillon never
vas better than it is at this time.
Development work will have to
stop or account of the lack of sup
| plies and cannot be resumed until
August at the very least. He
"a ys that no one can conceive of
the large amount of snow lying
on the range at the present time.
No one in the country has ever
seen anything like the depth that
now covers that entire region.

.Bickerstaff.

On May oath in EuClaire, Wis,
Miss Hazel Bickerstaf, of that
city, and Clark Wilcox, of Cow
creek, were united in marriage.
Owing to the fact that Mr.. Will
cox slipped out quietly from here
along in May without leaving
even a hint as to his intentions
we were unable to learn of this
affair until the happy couple ar
rived here last week.
The bride is a pretty young
lady, with a large circle of friends
here and on Cow creek, where she
taught school last winter, and the
groom is to be congratulated on
his choice.
The groom, Mr.. Wilcox, COM
monty called Clark, or Cookie" is
a young man with the average in
telligenge. has fairly small feet
for a man of his size, but his
hands are about as small as a II
pound ham and make up for what
he lacks in feet. He is fairly
good looking and generally wears
a smile, has blue eyes and curly
hair. His nature is kind only
when rubbed the wrong way. He
has a capacity Cor work that is
seldom equalled and never sur
passed, but for all that he is a
good fellow and We like him. He
is the oldest Son of Mr.. and Mrs.
G. NJ. Wilcox, who are proud OF
him. In closing we wish to say
that the reporter that wrote this
was for some time a "side-partner'
of the grooms and promised him
that if eve he got married that
he would have the truth and moth
ing but the truth in regard to him
written. We wish to state that
we would like to be able to give a
fuller account OF the bride, but We
lack the knowledge of her life, but
too much cannot be said of heI
during her sojourn in this valley.
Congratulations and best wishes
to you both from the Sun.

attack of ptomaine poisoning last
Thursday, was inferred in the
cemetery at M ountain Home;
Idaho, Sunday. Mr.. Mullison

maine poisoning. Her strength
proving unequal to this second
illness she died early Thursday
morning. She leaves to mourn
her untimely death, her husband
and two weeks old baby, besides
her parents, and brothers. To
them the entire community ten

those who were priviledged to
know Mrs. Reckmeyer realize how
keenly her loss must be felt by
those who were closest to her in
life.

Copper Bar Stockhol ders Meet.

" eAo OoppOt
Bar Mining Company, which
owns the famous Charter Oak
Mine, met at the office of J.. B.
Hassett d Co. Monday afternoon
at the advertised hour and elected
directors for the ensueing year.
There were 449,425 shares repre-
sented. j. B. Hassett was elected
president pro TEN. Geo. f. Hib-
her, the Secretary and Treasurer
was present and performed the
duties of that Office. There was
much satisfaction among the
stockholders over the manner in
which the affairs of the company
had been handled during the past
wear and it WAS determined to re-
elect the old board, which was
done. They are as follows: W. J..
Crane, "a. w, Schoettger, Il. M.
Stratton, Fred Williams, Ernest
Hoppe, August Hagenow, and
Geo. E. Hibner.
Mr.. Hibner then made an ex-
PLANTATION of the affairs of the
company and their plans for de-
veloping the Charter Oak. He
said that thru the generosity of
the board of directors, who had
donated of their holdings in the
way of stock and then bought
some of it back at so cents per
share, as we'll as making cash do
nations, that the company would
be able to carry out its plan of de-
veloping the mine and erecting a
smelter at the works on Calf creek.
BY the donations of shares to the
treasury fund by these directors
and large stockholders the COM
pany now has as many shares in
it's treasury as it ever had-90,0 900
shares-which leaves the company
in excellent shape for future oper-
atoms.
The stock is worth so cents per
share, j. B. Hassett having pur-
chased 1000 shares last Saturday
paying cash for them. At that
valuation the company has as
good $4,000 in it's possession.
Mr.. Hassett, the mine manger,
upon being asked when the COM
pany would begin operations at
the mine, said it was owing very
much to the weather. They will
begin at the earliest day possible.
They would need wood for engines
and the present condition of snow
in the mountains and even in the
foothills would make it impos-
sible to get timber for some days,
perhaps weeks, yet. Just as soon
as conditions will make it possible
to procure timber development
work will be begun and No. l
shaft will be sunk steadily to a
depth that will enable them to
obtain an accurate estimate of the
ore body upon which they can
depend.
Timber will also be needed in
the erection of the smelter, but it
will be easily obtainable by the
time it is needed, as work on it
will not be begun much before
