AMOUNT OF CASH
NECESSARY TO FILE

i certain land agent at Belle
Fourche assured prospective settlers
under the irrigation project recently
that with $500 man could file on
an eighly-acre claim and be in shape
for work. But this statement is err
roneOuS, and from conversation with
those who, though they may be anX-
ious to see newcomers well located,
are not avaricious enough to mislead
them for the paltry $50 they get as
the locating fee, we find that no one
should attempt to file under the ditch
without at least $1,000 in cash if he
hopes to succeed.
We have taken the trouble to as
certain the actual cost Of filing and
that all strangers and all others who
expect to SO file are entitled to
know the facts, regardless of what
any real estate man may tell you,
and here are the figures:
The first step is to secure a mem
sership with the Water Users asso-
citation, from the treasurer thereof,
for which he will charge $11.20. The
next step is to file his membership
with the secretary of the association
which costs $500 more: Then to
the land office and pay filing fee
of $7.00. Back to the association
and pay one years water tax in adj
vance at the rate of $40 per acre
which on eighty acres will amount tt
$4,000. This makes a grand tota
OF $34220. Then pay the man who
takes him out to locate the sum O.
$4,000 After this no further wateI
tax will become due until December
1911. The crop the first year coult
not do anything much toward tn
supporet of a man and his family
or the necessary farm expenses; bu
the following year thrifty worke
could undoubtedly meet his secon'
water tax when due, which as state
will be December l, 1911.
Hence it seems foolish for any
enc to file under the irrigation pro
ject and expect to live, without Nigh
ty hard times, with much less tina
$1,000 in cash. These facts an
figures are given, not to discourag
anyone from filing, but in order tina
everybody who considers such ste
may do so Understandings and nc
run the risk of being disappointed

Ii this is true, but which | don't

fortunate women should be pensions
ed and taken care of when they
break down.
Il know that many people believe
as ! do, but they are afraid to talk
on the subject because it is not con-
sidered conventional. 1t is time
that convention gave away when the
welfare of humanity is the issue.
"The changes so greatly desired
can only be secured through govern

make appropriations for the purpose
and should pass laws for all the Unit

ANNIVERSARY OF FIRST
DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION

Charleston, S. G., April 23--Today
marked the fiftieth anniversary OF
the assembling Of the historic Nation
al Democratic convention in Charles
ton, one Of the stirring events .hat
Immediately preceded the war. The
convention was symbolic OF the times.
No candidate was chosen though I've.
convention lasted several days, this;
because of a disagreement between
the northern and southern section
OF the party on the slavery question
/ The couthern delegation bolted the
convention. The anti-slavery dele-
gates met at Baltimore in June aud
named Stephen Douglas Of Illin.os
as president. About the same tine
the ultra southerners met and nomi-
mated John G. Breckenridge, of Ken
lucky President and Joseph Lane OF
Oregon for Vice President.

QUICK JUSTICE FOR SOUTH
DAKOTA

Mitchell Republican: If we may
believe a statement sent out from
Pierre, the supreme court has
brought it's calendar up to date for
the first time in we do not know
how many years At the time tie
court was enlarged by the legisla-
ture last winter, there were cases on
the docket as old as four years. I'm.
der new rules made by the court, de
cisions may be expected in all but
exceptional cases ten days after ar
gument The court will not hear tl.e
heretofore, but will listen to fiv.
caes a day for three days and then
adjourn for ten days, during which
time these fifteen cases will be de-
cided. This will not only expedialc
the disposition of appeals but will
permit the judges to carry the argu'
ments on the various cases mo- 9
clearly in their minds than if they
We're to har great number of cos
es before deciding any of them.
1t was true economy for the legis-
lature to provide for an increase in
the number Of supreme court judges
for it is a sheer loss of money to al
low cases to drag along through the
courts for years. Not only do liti-
giants lose the interest on the mon.
ey or the income on any property
that may ultimately awarded to them
but often the value of property de
clines from neglect in the mean
while. In the administration G

lies respect for the law and to DIS

ing parties.
South Dakota never made bette
investment than that in the salarie
of the two additional judges of IL,

THE GERTIE NINE
RESUMES WORK

Hill City Star: E. c. Johnson re.
turned to Hill City and resumed
work at the Gertie tin mine MondaJ
Several men are at work setting up
the two large boilers were brought
early in the winter and delivered at
the power plant site just below the
mine and mill, between Spring Creek
and the railroad. A l00-hOrse power
Atlas engine is on the way and is eX
pected any day This engine is to RUN
the tin mill which is calculated TO
have a capacity of 2 tons of ore per
day. 1t is quite possible that the out
put may be increased with the new
grinding machines Mr.. Johnson has
invented and expects to install i'll
the mill.
Mr.. Charles L. Gerard, of Perry, \
Y, who has been a stakeholder in
the Gertie for some time, also arrlv-
ed to make his home here and wiz
take the position of superintendent
under Mr.. johnson. He is eminent!
qualified to fill the position.
1t was great disappointment t
Mr.. Johnson not to have been ab5lt
to get the engine and the boiler
which he bought last fall set up am
started in December, but he sever
cold weather started in SO early il
November and continuing steadily al
winter, made it impossible to lay con

time will be lost now, and as soon as
the mine, mill and smelter are start
ed we may expect to between one and
two tons of pig tin per day made
right here in Hill City.
Mr.. Johnson will spare no effort
to produce enough tin per annum tc
comply with the provisions of TIE
amendment to the tariff bill giving
a duty OF four cents per pound on
tin. Through Mr.. Johnson's perl JEal
efforts this amendment was incorpo-
rated in the tariff bill last summer at
Washington conditioned on the pro-
duction by the mines of the United
States at the rate Of II 500 tons of tin
tin properties enough in the Black
Hills to produce several times this
amount when properly developed and
worked. With tin selling now with no
tariff at 33 cents per pound and cost
ing probably not over eight cents 10
produce from a properly developed
mine, there is no better mining prop
osition on earth than tin 1t beats a
copper proposition costing 8 TO i
cents per pound to produce and sell
ing for only Is cents per pound.
The conditions for a low cost pro-
duction of the Gertie could hardly be
better 1t is developed by an incline
shaft 500 feet in depth with about
800 to 1000 feet of lateral develop
ment and working level at each 100
feet depth. The mining plant is com
plete with air compressor, machine
| drills, pumps, and a firSt-mOtion
hoist that raises the ore from tic
mine and automatically dumps it
into the top of the mill and the tin
concentrates from the bottom of the
and passes into the smelter below
and comes out in tin pigs as white as
silver.
! The Gertie tin is the purest pro-
duced anywhere, several analysis
ranging from $3.50 the lowest, &c
1896 per cent tin the highest. Be
fore erecting the mill about 1860
pounds of concentrates were produc-
ed by small testing mill and ru.
through the smelter.

BREEDING CHILDREN BY
LEGISLATION ADVOCATED
Mrs. La Refine II. Baker Starts 4
Worldwide Campaign for

Denver Times: Believing that what
Burbank has done for fruits and
flowers shows possibility of improv-
ing the breed of man and that the
government should appropriate mon
ey and enact legislation with a
view Of Burbanking the human spec
les, Mrs La Refine Helen Baker, OF
Spokane. was at the Savoy the other
day on her way to England to be-
gin an agitation for an international
eugenic convention to be held in
Washington.
Mrs Baker, who is accounted the
wealthiest woman in the northwest,
although only 80 years old, has al
ready won renown for her efforts
in the cause of humanity. A firm,
believer in equal suffrage she TOOK

ago. She left last night for WASH
ington, D. c., where she will deliver
Hqual Suffrage association. She has
also been invited to address the JEFF
fersonian club at indianapolis this
month and to speak before the con-
venton of Democratic clubs at WASH
iNgton.
After leaving Washington she will
spend a week with the Roycrofters at
East Aurora, N Y, and will then
proceed to England. There and OIL
the continent she hopes to launch
the great movement for improving
the species.
First of all it may be said that
Mrs. Baker is deeply in earnest ana
believes the sex question is one which
can no longer be kept as thing ia
booed, but must be discussed open
ly and frankly in order that solu-
ton of the important problem may
be reached
"Conventionality rorDids the dis
cussion of these things between mem
bers of opposite sexes" said Mrs. Ba,
