A Tr1p to the Saginaw.

Last Thursday party of seven busl-
ness men from town drove out to the
Saginaw mine to spend the day sight
seeing. The day selected was not one
of the finest we have had this winter,
but the bunch Of seven said they were
going torn or no orm, and they went.
To say that they were we'll repaid for
their trip would not half express the
thoughts of all who went, for it was GER
tainly an education to one who had not
seen the workings of complete mill.
Supt. l. w. Herber met US at the gate
and escorted US to his comfortable Office.
There We gathered around cheerful
fire and listened to several selections by
bands and orchestras, in the 4-minute
record style. Then came dinner at the
clearinghouse and such meal as we
had. Thanks to Mr.. and Mrs. Wake
field, for that dinner. After waiting an
hour for one of the party to get all the
cabbage he wanted for once, we started
for the mill.
We started in at the bottom of the
mill and worked to the top. To describe
this as it deserves would be a task far
too great for US to undertake, but with
all our inexperience we could see that
this mill with its cyanide process in con-
nection, was designed to save every
particle of the gold in the rock treated.
Ten stamps were dropping and their
roar was certainly welcome sound
The mill is built from bedrock to the
top of the hill. The ore goes in at the
very top and gradually works its way
through the crusher, stamps, over the
plates, concentrators, and slime table,
through tank after tank of cyanide, un'
til it finally reaches the bottom with the
precious metal left in the various places
A complete mill! Well, how could one
be made more so-everything works II
perfect harmony.
We must hasten on and say In closini

books, writes: "For several years was

Mr.. and Mrs. A. d. Reder and baby
arrived in Belle Fourche Monday morn
ing at 2 o'clock from their ranch near
Bixby. They left their home l30 miles
northeast of here, Sunday morning in
response to word that Mr.. Reder's
father was dead. The roads were in
bad shape on account of the melting
snow, and when they arrived at the
North Moreau river it was out of it's
banks and running swift. Mr.. Reder
unhitched his team and rode one of
them across first to make sure the
river could be forded. Then he return /.
ed and brought his wife and baby across
on the horse. Returning he hitched up
the team and brought the buggy across,
the water running in the buggy bed.
From there they came on toward Belle
Fourche, not stopping to change teams
until they reached Orman. Consider
ing the condition of the roads, this is
one af the fastest drives made in this
part of the country for number OF
years.-Belle Fourch-Bee.

TREASURY Is CLEAN
BIRMINGHAM NEEDS REVENUE
 VERY BADLY.
Loss of Money From Saloons Pufa City in PseF Condition And Henry Gray Wul
 Lend Funds.

Birmingham, Aug. 2s-tSpeciai)--- The City Council of Birmingham in called session at noon today. authorised Mayor O'Brien to borrow S100.eo0 to tide over the eity's financial affairs until the end of the year. when license collections will make up the shortage.
 The city's treasury, owing to the absence of revenue from saloons. is absolutely clean.
 The council was unanimous in pro- viding for the necessary financial re- lief, and the money will be loaned by Henry B. Gray. and associates. The lieutenant governor offered the money at five per cent interest. to be paid only as the sums are withdrawn.
 New York interests offered to lend the funds at four and one-haif per cent. interest to be paid on the whcls sum at once.
 The councilmen thought better of the Gray plan. and closed the deal on that basis. It is probable that t25.eOa will be withdrawn September l. At this session 8 motion was nlgr made that industries to be taken into Birmingham under the new city limits be exempted from taxation for . period. It Is likely e council commits tee will consider this phase. and report favorably.

NO ATTEMPT IS MADE
 TO ARREST GENERAL REYES

Laredo. Tex, Aug. 2S.-From a relia-
 ble source in Monterey 1t Is denied
 that there has been any concerted
 movement of Federal troops looking to
 inc arrest of General Bernardo Reyes
 governor of Neuvo Leon. 1t IS also
 stated that General Reyes is still visit ing in the neighborhood of Gaieana and that no endeavor on the part or the Federal authorities has been made to in any way inconvenience Reyes. It can be stated with certainty that recently there has been no movement from Saltillo, Monterey or Monte More loa to. or in the vicinity of Galeana. The two cities are on the line Of the National Railway of Mexico. Monte
 Morelos Is on the line of the Mexican Central or the old Monterey and Me&i- can Gulf Railroad, a line running from Monterey to Tampico. No troops nave traversed either of these lines today.
 The source from which this informa-
 ton Is gleaned, ridicules the story to the effect that Federal troops are en- deavoring to bring about the arrest or General Reyes and points out that such action would only result in state of arfaira that has thus far been avoided. General Reyes is quietly visiting in the vicinity of Galeana and Is taking no active part in the political efforts of the Reytstas to bring about his candidacy | for the office of Vice-President
 So popular is the general with ms
 marry that 1t Is feared that any enort l on tho part of the Federal government TO nlace him under arrest would incite his zealous Artisans to such an extent that liot and bloodshed would iheVita- bly result.

Crackers Rained Out
Changes in Football
 Guide Rules Just Out

Last fall 1t was mandatory. for the defending side, after q touchback, @ punt out from inside the twenty -3ye yard line. In the future 1t will be op. tionai with the defending side to punt out or put the ball in play by a scrim- mage. This rule was intended 10 al9. courage the practice of kicking the ball across the line on a windy day. thus forcing the defenders to punt out n the face of a strong wind, making Y possible to take fair catch and free chance at goal.
 The forward pass has not been tine kered materially, the principal change being in the way of designating the players who may receive the ball. This season a man must be clearly one yard back of the neutral zone or at the end of the scrimmage line before he can take part In the play.
 Also the rule regarding an enort 70 put the defense offside by false motionk has been amended to include the cer- tor himself The center has often peen used to coax a i've yard penalty out 0t the ofiiciais by. coaching nim to maks some move with his arms which weufd bring the opponents across the scrirn- mage line before the ball was passed

all Is at hand. The football guide

Fall Is at hand. The football guide Is out.
 It shows few changes in the rules that governed the game last year Those who control the destintes of the game have been content to clarify the existing rules and have made few ac- tual changes. The phraseology has been altered in many cases where last years rules were ambiguous.
 The field goal will hereafter count only three points instead of four. This change will meet with the approval of all professional coaches except those who depend for their team strength on one man with highly educated toe. IL was to protest other wise stronger teams against the weak teams with the strong kickers that this rule was passed
 It Is expected this change will make the field goal play less popular. Here after two goals from the field will not be superior to a handicapped tonch- down and goal from touchdown. The board, when 1t made this rule had no desire to encourage the old concentra- ton of attack. but simply wanted to let the teams win or lose on their mer- It's.

BIRMrNGBAM DELIBERATIONS.
Citizens Are stin Talking About ths
 Greater City.

Birmingham. Aug. Especial l-. Plans for the celebration of Greater Birmingham have gone so far that Q movement Is now on foot to hold cone vention of mayors of the varius subs urbs interested for the purpose of out lining arrangements.
 1t lis proposed to hold this meeting within the next few days. when steps will be taken to shape the matter.
 One suggestion that has met with favorable attention. Is that the ceie- bration be held on November ?. the day that President Taft sends in Birmiag- ham, and 1t Is quite probable that this idea will be adopted. If so. there are sure to be tens of thousands from all sections of the State here. and the event will be one of the notable ones of the year in Alabama.
 The entire State will undoubtedly be invited to share in the celebration. inc idea being that all Alabama shares in the glory of having a city of the size and influence of Birmingham.
 The citys population under the new alinRment, which takes in Ensley, will be we'll above 100000.
