Lost $1,000 and Receivers 1t

Trembling with fear and anxiety,
f. j. Estenzmann, a young resident
of Mobridge, this state, who was on
his way to Wyoming, appeared here
Friday almost broki and told of the
loss OF a purse somewhere in the
eastern part Of the state, containing
$1,000 in bills, all he owned. He was
not sure of the place where he had
lost it but while he was making up
his mind message came here to G.
N. Laws, the Milwaukee railroad
agent, asking them to locate Estenz-
mann and get his description of the
purse and money as one containing
that amount had been found at Aber-
deen through which the young man
went enroute to Mitchell. The mes
sage came from G. c. Anderson, train
master at Mitchell for the Milwaukee.
Estenzmann has given good descrip-
tlon OF the purse and the money.

Black Hills Centenarian

1t is not generally known that the
Black Hills has q resident who is over
100 years old, and yet such is the case.
The individual who bears this Gis-
tinction is Hiram Hart, an interest
ing character who lives in the Cold
Springs country, who recently passed
through here on his way to Lead for
a visit. He was born March %, 1910,
and is remarkably well preserved for
a man of his age. He remembers
many interesting occurrences Of the
early part of the last century and is
a very entertaining man to listen to.
He has been resident of the Cold
Springs region for many years. The
old man bids fair to live five or ten
years longer, as he at present and in
the past has enjoyed good health,
having been sick scarcely day in his
life.-Mystic dispatch in Argus

MAKES BIG STRIKE
ON RAPID CREEK
Property LocatedWhere Mill
can be Built Near Railroad

Tim Coleman, proprietor of the
Bull Dog ranch, announces that he
has made what he regards as one Of
biggest strikes in the history OF the
southern Hill, while doing the annual
assessment workon his mining ground
at Silver City on Rapid Creek. He
has owned the property which lies on
the south side of the creek and ad-
joins Silver City on the west, for a
number of years and has done more
or less development every year, with
the result that at different times he
has opened up ore bodies of various
sizes and values, that have encour-
aged him to proceed with the work.
Most of the work heretofore, has been
conducted in two tunnels, which are
driven to the south from the creek,
following ledges of ore that bear the
general characteristics Of the deposits
of the antimony belt. In both of
these workings highly satisfactory re-
suits have been obtained but the re-
cent strike is of more Importance for
the reasons that it uncovers a ledge
OF great proportions.
The work this year was started at
point about midway between the two
tunnels and higher up the hill. At
the start, vein was uncovered which
broke almost to the surface and even
at it's oXidized exterior appeared to be
of excellent value. 1t was stripped
distance Of fifteen feet across it's face
and showed that it held the same
character. A prospecting of the sur
face was then undertaken to deter
mine as definitely as possible the
width of the vein and from this work
1T is believed to be at least 100 feet
between wall. The drift was then
started in on it and this has reached
we'll beyond the oXidiZed face close to
the grass roots. The ore has been
reached at distance from the sur
face where it has assumed it's perlna-
nent character and is found to be one
of the best propositions ever opened
in that sections of the country. The
results of the assays have not been
made public, but Judging from the
appearance of the rock, it is stated
that it is high grade material.
1t is the intention to go into the
ledge a considerable distance and then
cross-cut to establish definitely it's
width ahd if the future work shows
as we'll as what has been already ac-
complished, move to secure capital
for "a reduction plant will be made.
The property is SO located that a mill
point which will permit of cheap
transportation from the mine.-Dead-
wood .Pioneer-Times.

GREAT EXODUS OF LIVE STOCK
Heavy Movement of Stock
From the Tfans-Missouri
Region Witnessed This
Season.

Nothing in live stock annals can
be compared to the current bovine
and ovine exodus from the west, re-
marks the Breeders Gazette. For
several months past the tran-M issouri
region has been disgorging while the
farming belt lying to the east has
absorbing what promises to be his
toric migration. Fortuitous circum-
stances have forced the western part
OF the continent to clean up and con-
dltlons exactly the reverse have en-
abled the Mississippi valley to meet
the emergency. Otherwise results
would have been calamitous. AS it is
the west has been hard hit financially.
Nothing but suberb feeding condi-
tions east of the Missouri made possi-
BILE market for much of the stuff
liquidated. AS it is the westerner
has no complaint to register. At the
prices he has always found market
for both cattle and sheep and the
thinner they were the better they
sold. Great numbers of thin range
sheep have gone into the hands of
eastern farmers and while net returns
have been small to the grower it was
real money and he can winter that
with assurance of immunity from
loss. In the aggregate vast sum
has been transferred from the east to
the west in consequence Of this liquid
alton, relieving financial stringency
and clearing the decks for more
propitious times
With cattle raisers, as, with sheep
men it has been a drastic cleanup.
Well-bred young range cattle by the
thousand have been marketed prema-
turely, COWS. heifers and calves have
been sacrificed. When big range
outfit began cleaning up half de-.
cade back no concern was felt, be-
cause OF assurance that small operas
tors would perpetuate the industry.
This season the man with the herd
OF limited size has suffered, how
severely the character of the stuff lie
is marketing Indicates, s..
Apart from a crop Of thin sheep
the east has secured nothing cheap as
a result of western calamity. Stock
cattle have never realized as much
money before thin COWS have brought
phenomenal prices and steers have
sold well when conditions is considered.
Ii tickle climate had, not prevented
the lar west from making a crop of
beef and fat lambs this year the sea-
son would have been aprosperous one.
Inability to put weight on cattle and
short lamb crop have 'been respon-.
sible for inestimable loss.
AS result the largest supply of
store cattle and sheep that ever went
into feeding territory east of the
Missouri river is in fnishers' hands.
That this region was able to care for
the stuff is providential. The packer
is assured a supply Of raw material
and the public beef and mutton that
would not have been made had corn
been even partial failure or the mid
summer drought lasted few weeks
longer.

Indications point to some weeks
more of the cattle shipping season
from the Belle Fourche country as
the Northwestern expects to send out
$50 cars within the next week. A
large portion of this will come from
the WV ranch there, which it was
reported earlier in the seasan would
close out. Fair satisfactory arrange
ments have been made for feed, SO al
though they will ship close, the WV
which is the largest cattle outfit in
that vicinity, will remain in the busi-
ness. A number of other large ship
pers have found that they can feed
a portion of their stock this winter SO
will not ship out as much as they in
tended and are not in such great haste
to ship out.
