WILL TRY CONCRETE
The Homestake Mining Company VIII
Make Interesting Experiments This

-~PSt HtICtfNS w
Summer.
In view of the fact that the timber
supply is year by year becoming
more limited, the famous Homestake
Mining company is during the COM
ing summer to make interesting ex-
eriments. If the exeriments result as
expected timber will be abandoned for
tunnel sets in the mine and concrete
osts, reinforced with old iron and ca
bles, will be substituted.
1t is planned to utilize the concrete
supports throughout the mine work
ings where unusually large timbers are
not required. 1t is believed the result
will be more than a financial saving
1T will insure the permanency of sup
ply of material for this work which
now Is being menaced by the scarcity
of desirable timber. There has been
a complaint Of late as to the quality
of the timber which the forest re-
serve service has permitted to be cut
for mining purposes. Much of 1t is
bug-infested and not desirable, hence
the interest of the mine officials in
the experiments which are about to
be made for providing a substitute.
The plant for carrying OF the ex-
periments will be located on ground
belonging to the company, where a
large yard will be provided for dry
ing the posts after they are taken
from the moulds. The tunnel sets
will consist Of a cap and two posts,
each about 10x1O Inches and nine feet
long. The posts, as before stated,
will be strengthened by old iron and
cables.
The proportions of the concrete
mixture will be one part cement, two
parts sand and four parts porphry.
The last named ingredient is present
in the mine workings in unlimited
quantities, and there always is a
plentiful supply of the metal intend
ed to be used in the reinforcement
of the posts.
An employee of the mining company
named Henry Toenges, who is of an
i~nveative turn of mind, already has
devised a small hoist, which can be
mounted on a fiat car, and which will
set the posts in the interior of the
mine without requiring much manual
labor.
During the experiments cost figures
will be carefully kept to determine
the comparative cost of the posts and
timbers. All mining companies in re-
gions where timber is becoming
scarce will be benefited by the result
of the experiments.

ENLARGED COURT TO MEET.
First Case Before Supreme Tribunal
on April II viii Be Telephone Suit
Against Huron.

on April Fl viii Be Telephone Suit
Against Huron.
Judges E. c. Smith and J. II. Nc
Coy will be in Pierre April 20 to take
up their duties on the supreme bench,
and the five judges will sit for the
first time on the following day In tie
case in which the Dakota Central
Telephone company seeks to prevent
the city of Huron from interfering
with their making extensions of their
lines in that city.
Judge Smith was a college chum of
Judge Haney, both coming to South
Dakota from Iowa. Both were elect
ed to the circuit bench through ap-
pointment from Gov. Sheldon. Judge
Smith has remained on the circuit
his old classmate on the supreme
bench through appointment by Gov.
Vessey.
One peculiar feature in regard to
the hearing before the court in its
first session with five members will
be that the first argument presented
to them will be by T. H. Null of HUI
ron, and the further fact that when
the supreme court of the state was
organized in January, 1890, the first
argument presented to them was by
r. H. Null Of Huron.

REFUSE LIQUOR LICENSE.
Two Applications to Sell Booze at
Enemy Swim Lake Turned Down.

WI NppiICdt'onS 10 Sei 6ooZ AZ
Enemy Swim Lake Turned Down.
The board of county commissioners
has turned down" two applications
for license to sell intoxicating liquor
On the lake from which the hamlet
of Enemy Swim Lake received it's
name. One of the applicants wished
to conduct a saloon at the east end
Of the lake, while the other wished
to carry on a liquor business at the
west end. The principal reason why
the county commissioners refused to
grant the applications Is because the
lake is in close proximity to the Sis
seton and Wahpeton Indian reserva-
ton. Owing to the sale Cf liquor at
points OF the lake in the past one In
dian murder and another assault by
an Indian, in which he crushed a
white mans face with a n%eckyoke,
resulted, and the county was put to
an expense of about $4,000 in prose
cutting the cases and seeing that JUS
tice was melted out to the guilty par
ties. While liquor was sold On the
lake it was a gathering place for In
dians Of the worst character from the
reservation, and drunken c~arousals
were so frequent that the %law-abiding
people of the county have strongly
protested against the further sale of
liquor on the lake.

TO MERGE WITH NORMAL,

Springfield City Schools to Become
Part of Normal School.
The Springfield board of education
has made the following proposition
to the state board of regents, and the
regents have accepted the offer,
whereby the city schools shall be-
come the training department of the
state normal located at Springfield.
The head Of the training department
at the normal becomes the principle
Of the city schools, the other teach
ers are nominated by the normal au-
thorities and receive a small compen-
sation from the state, but the city
bears the great bulk Of the pen
which will mean a considerable saw
ing of state funds. This will also be
OF great advantage to the graduating
classes because Of getting their
training under the dollhouse condi-
tons Of a model school they will
meet real conditions, such as they
will have to face after graduation.
This method is in successful opera
ton at the Indian state normal at the
teachers college Of the University of
~Cinsinnati, at the Montana state nor
NAL at& Dillon and in variou sother
places, and has been uniformally sue
cessful. These changes will take
place at the beginning of the next
school year. The people of the COM
munity are very generally we'll

TEST CASE At DEApWooD.
Is Of Interest to Every County In
South Dakota.

A test case Of interest to every
county in South Dakota is to be made
In Deadwood to determine whether
county commissioners may use money
from the general fund for the con-
struction and improvement of roads.
A we'll defined movement has been
started to give Lawrence county bet
pered by the fact that so little
money is obtainable from the special
road fund. The good roads commit
tee, through N. T. Mason, suggested
that the commissioners draw on the
general fund.
States Attorney John T. Heffron,
or request, filed al opinion that it
would be unlawful to use the general
fund for road work. The road fund
amounts to only $4,000 a year, and
is ~overdrawn to the amount Of $45,-
900. The statute permits the COM
missioners to levy on the ratio of ST.
900 to each $500 900 Of assessed valu-
alton for road purposes, and that ad-
ditional sums may be expended for
building bridges or roads, if ratified
by a vote of the people. 1t is further
specified that the towns through
which any county Dad passes shall
keep it in repair.
Attorney Heffron called attention
to the fact that the road levy is made
only on property outside of the
towns, and that If the general fund
is used those in the towns would not
only be taking care of their w
roads but be required to share in the
cost of the roads in the country. 1t
is further contended by Mr.. Hebron
that the law would not have required
a vote on additional appropriations if
1T was not intended to limit the levy
to 2 mills on the dollar and keep the
road expenditures within the amount
raised by such levy.
Mr.. Mason, on the other hand, con-
tends that the $1,000 for each $780,
600 of assessed property which the
board may appropriate for road work
is in addition to the regular road
levy. Consequently a test case will
be brought before Judge Rice of the
circuit court by Mr.. Mason.
