Two Small Blazes.

The fire department was called out
twice Tuesday evening. The first was
a small blaze in the Chinese restau-
rant in the rear of the Tom Dowd sa-
loon, and the other in the old Schnasse
building about midway on Main street
between Fifth and Sixth. Neither
fire amounted to much, other than
excitement, being in frame buildings.
The fire in the Schnasse building
started under a laundry stove in
rooms on the second floor which were
being occupied for a short time as
bachelor quarters. The occupant has
since moved his belongings.

WHAT THE MINE is WORTH
Speculation on Assessment Value Of
Homestake Property is Now
Rife at Lead.

A dispatch from Lead under date of
the 18th inst. says: Speculation as to
the value Of the Homestake property
in this county on which the company
naturally declines to give figures, led
to an examination of the tax lists in
the county treasurer's Office. The Office
force is now busy preparing state
ment OF taxes for the company which
will give some Indication of the value
of the property. This year it is esti-
mated that the company will pay into
Lawrence county about Sl0O, 600 in
taxes which is just one fourth of the
total amount to be collected on the
property in this county and as the to-
tai valuation of property here is &c.
O00, 600, it would place valuation Of
about S2,225,O00. This does not in
clude all the Homestake property as
it has holdings in other counties Of
the Black Hills.

CATTLE LOST.
Recent Cold Spells Said to Be Hard
on the Animals.

People reaching Aberdeen from
west of the Missouri river report that
the recent cold spells in that section
of the state did a great deal of damage
to live stock. The bodies OF hundreds
of dead cattle whose owners tried TO
winter them without shelter are re-
ported to be strewn along the railroad
line west of the river, and it Is said
the deaths have been more numerous
farther inland. There has been no
lack of food. The buffalo grass, which
retains is nutritive qualities the WIN
ter through, is a~ttainable by the ami
mails, as there has been but little snow,
but the unsheltered beasts have found
the winter weather too much for them.
In addition to the losses from the
cold, cattle rustlers have been busy.
and many of the large cattle
are alleged to have lost heavily from
this source.
