years it has been known that tin
existed in the form of cassiterite in
the Harvey Peak district, in the
southern part of the Black Hills and
IN the Bear Gulch district, fifteen
miles west of this city, part of the
mlnerallzed ground being across the
line In Wyoming. For many years,
the tin placer has been miued protita.
bly, by gold placer miners in both
districts. The cassiterite was asked
by them and shipped to England
where it was refined.

been doing honest development work

pertles nave been examined and some
good results found. At present, the

tendent Ustrud, State Historian
Doane Robinson, and Professor Ra-
mer. at meeting today selected the
contestants for the Beadle statue and
other features for the new capitol.

figure was made on grounds Of state
loyalty, and left enough in the fund
for the letting of bids for the Mellette

Mother Sherrard. The Mellette
bronze tablet was let to Gilbert Ris-
void, another Sioux Falls boy, AMI
the tablet in memory Of Mother Sher-
rard to Mrs. Mona Neihartd Of Nei-
hartd Of Nebraska, who was alsJ
bidder OH the other features. The
commission has made request Of
the capitol commission that the
Beadle statue be given the lower
niche in the northwest face OF rotun-
da, and that the Mellette and Sher-
rard tablets be located on either side
OF the door to the governors recep-
tion room. The commission has re-
ceived and has in sight practically
$4,000 which will almost meet the
demands for the work let.

Ing Of Eugene ". Debs, the Hoosier

Sunday night, Oct. 8. For twenty years
or more Debs has been prominent in
the laboring fields of the country and
is widely known as the laboring mans
friend. His home Is in Terre Haute,
Ind, and he has been a presidential
candidate three times on his ticket.
James Whitcomb Riley, the Hoosier
poet, once said of Debs, God was
feeling mighty good when He created
Gene Debs and He didn't have any
thing else to do all day"
Others have expressed themselves
similarly regarding the labor leader,
ell uniting in the opinion that he is
a, clear and forceful speaker. Among
those who have Endorsed him when he
was actively in politics in his younger
days, were Eugene Fields, the poet,
and Frank Dewitt Talmage, who lik-
ened Debs to Lincoln in appearance,
manner and as a speaker.

In many cases. pauperism.'
The recognition of the sound prin-

making, caused that individual to
become impotent as a worker and
more or less charge upon the

appears upon the surface.

find distrust of a man given to such
violence of speech and action among
those who, in the ordinary course of
things would be on his side rather than
against him. 1t might be well for Mr..
Roosevelt to consider seriously the ex-
