ditions were most satisfactory, the COM
pany succeeded in pushing its daily
production up to 420 tons, but this figure
fell back owing to weather and other
untimely conditions and the average was
below 400 tons daily. Still for the year the

Nearly every one OF the mines has been

Consolidation big Help.
One of the most important events affect
ing Black Hills mining conditions is the
consolidation of the Hidden Fortune and
Columbus Consolidated Gold Mining com
panies, completed at Denver through the
efforts of Henry ]. Mayham, the original
promoter, of New York. BY the merger.

surplus in the treasury and arrangements
have been completed for a working cap
ital, so that operations on the property,
which lies near Lead, and contains sew
eral million tons of low grade ore, are ex-
pected to start this coming spring. Ii is
understood that such operations will be
on a large scale and the development Of the
property is awaited with much interest
throughout the Hills. 81
The Wasp No. ?, on Yellow creek, had
a production Of about $lOO, 900. The COM
pany has the record for being the most
economically handled in the Hills, its ore
seldom averaging above 81 per ton, but
for years it has been a steady dividend
payer.

been foremost by beginning its $1,000, OE
waterpower plant in Spesrfish canyon,
which will not be completed until 1911 and
on which a force is still busy despite the
lockout in the mine and mills. The Home

Dakota, to answer to the charge Of forgery
now has entered a plea Of guilty before
Judge Marquis OF the state circuit court,
who sentenced the defendant to a term of
four months in the Deuel. county jail. The
fact that Kniss' parents are highly re-
spected residents of Luverne, MIMI, and
that he recently wrote a Letter to his aged
mother promising her that hereafter he
would leave intoxicating liquor alone and
live a correct and respectable life, caused
Judge Marquis to maxi the sentence as
light as possible.

Government After Lax HOmesteaders.
MITCHELL, S. D.; lar H.-(Special. ,
The Interior department at Washington is
still retaining its interest in the matter OF
settlers living on their claims according
to the land laws of the country. This was
evidenced when Mrs. Tammie Chamberlain
of Parkston was brought to this city for
an examination before a referee concerning
her Intentions when she lived the full length
of time on a claim west of the Missouri
river. Mrs. Chamberlain, who is a widoY,
lived the fourteen months on the claim and
returned to Parkston to take up her resi-
dence on a homestead owned by her late
husband. 1t was learned that after Mrs.
Chamberlain left the claim she disposed of
a part or all of her buildings, which would
not indicate that she intended to make her
permanent residence thereon. 1t was on
this point that Special Agent York Of the
Interior department questioned her. JNdg-
ing from the inquiries of the special agent,
it is evident that the government is going
to pay close attention TO the people taking
land and then trying to avoid the law
which requires certain things in order to
prove up.

Dear Living and High Living.
Philadelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
There is some truth in the assertion of
James j. Hill. who says: 1T isn't the
high cost Of living: it's the cost of high
living that disturbs the consumers of the
country" Mr.. Hill insists that the main
reason for the high prices of food is the
falling off in production. If to this fail
ure of supply, which would indeed be one
adequate cause of Increased prices, he
added the restraint of trade effected by
the interposition of trusts and middlemen
between producers and consumers and the
further restraint Occasioned by high tar
ifs the high cost of living is fully eX-
planned without reference to the lesser
cause Of the cost of high living. High
living and waste evils that in the
long run bring about their own corrcc-
ton. They are incidental to human
weakness. But in so far the high
cost of living arises from trade restric-
tions the people have the remedy in
their own hands. They can cut the
ground from under legalized piundering
and unlawful restraint of trade at the
hands of greedy monopolles by exercising
the power lodged in their hands to re-
peal modify hurtful laws and to CONF
pei the enforcement Of laws intended to
protect the public against piratical adj
venturers who seek to turn all avenues
OF industrial effort into trading posts of
plumber.

Meat Not a Necessity.
From the Memphis Commercial Appeal.
e, oot1 tho fr,,cfe- anI n,,1y{n.

From the Memphis Commercial Appeal.
1t is said the trusts and packing con-
Germs are laughing at the present meat
strike, declaring that 1t will do them no
harm. as workingmen cannot labor on Il
vegetable diet. II is, of course, quite pos
sible that this strike may not accomplish
what 1t has in view, but the packers are
reckoning without their host when they
assert that laboring men must have meat.
A glance at the peasantry of many. Eu-
ropean countries will contradict this. for
he"fesh pot" seldom boils. and yet these
men are sturdy and healthy. During the
panic of the early nineties 1t became a
difficult matter for our farmers to run
their tenants: meat was scarce and high,
and was sparingly issued, If at ALL But
the sorghum crop had been bountful the
preceding summer, and molasses took
the place of bacon in the cabins of the
farm hands: and it was a source
of great relief to the planters to see in
what good condition the men kept. That
crop was made on a molasses and bread
diet, with what vegetables are usual
among the working people, and the la
Dor was done with as much ease as if
the pork barrel had been in daily requi-
SitiOn.

Marriage and Income.

An interesting ray of light is shed upon
the cost-of-living problem by the an
nouncement of Pittsburg minister that
mony any couples unless the bridegroom
has an assured income of at least 81. 600 a
year. This clergyman asserts that at the
present cost of necessities this amount of
money is necessary annually TO maintain
family i'm decency, and inasmuch as,
according to his view. poverty leads to
divorces. he does not propose to assist in
the spread of the divorce evil
The Fittsburg minister's estimate is
high. 1t is altogether a question of tenn
permanent and taste. Some people cannot
afford to marry on S. 900 a year. because
they lead six-thousand- dollar lives.
Again. there are many men who are
perfectly competent to maintain homes
on a thousand dollars a year or even
less. because they are good manager md
have good habits and are fortunate
enough to have good wives. 1t is the
combination that tells the story and not
the separate individuals.
II the Pittsburg minister were to re4u-
late his matrimonial services psychology
cally rather than financially he would be
comforting a greater boon on society. II
he would refuse his Offices to those who
are obviously unfit for marriage through
being unsuited to mate he would 60 much
farther toward lessening the divorce evil.

A Lost Art in the Home.
From the New York Tribune.


Some reported utterances of Arch
bishop Ireland, provoked by the meat
boycott, but dealing with a more i'm
portant and fundamental matter, will
strike sympathetic chords in many hearts
and should lead to practical efforts for
the correction of a great evil of Ameri-
can domestic life. The high prices of
meats are deplorable, but still worse, In
DIR. Ireland's view, are the extravaganza
and waste of American housekeepers and
cooking. Nor is the reference solely to
the rich whose extravaganza is often
descanted upon with all manner of varia
lions and embellishments People of
moderate and even scanty means are
among the worst sinners. They do not
know how to purchase economically. or
do not care to do so, and they do not
know how to make the best use of that
which they do purchase. That is the
indictment-that domestic economy, at
any rate in the larder and the kitchen.
has become almost a lost art In America
and to it we fear there must be widely
entered plea of guilty. We should not
say that the art was never known and
practiced here, because a generation or
two ago the American housewife pos
sessed and we believe deserved a reputa-
ton for much efficiency and some de-
gree of thrift. But times have changed.
The same tendency which has led so
overcrowded professions or underpaid
mercantile employment has led young
women to shun the occupations of the
home, and particularly of the kitchen in
favor of work in factories, shops or Of

Boosting Beef Prices.

Last Saturday the manager of an alb
attoir company which operates plants IN
indianapolis. Kansas City, New York.
Brooklyn and other eastern points receiv-
ed from headquarters telegram to the
following effect:
Cattle receipts will be light next week
prices higher. Stiffen eastern beef. Don't
get panicky-brace up
This telegram is believed to be the key
note OF campaign agreed upon by the
packing interests to offset the boycott
instituted by meat consumers in various
parts Of the country as a protest against
continued high prices The theoretical
aspect of the case points TO a reduction
in the price when the demand is less. 1t
was the belief OF the promoters of the
boycott that with a falling off In the
consumption of meat would come a con-
gestion In the packing houses and whole
sale establishments. The packers. how
ever, may be too completely the masters
of the situation to permit this result.
They have two resources in such an
emergency. They have first the cold
storage plants. great reservoirs for the
manipulation of the supply and distribu-
ton. But back Of the cold-storage plant

in the cold-storage plants by simply lin
itine the number OF animals shipped to
the slaughter houses.
shortage OF cattle, whether msnipu-
lated or result Of natural conditions,
may be pointed TO by the packing inter-
ests a valid excuse for high prices.
But the public knows more about such
matters now than il did formerly. 1t
has more accurate means of informatio
and is in a better position to defend it
self than in the past. A campaign of
price increases on the part Of the beef
packers would be in the last degree in
judiciouS 1t would be an acknowledge
mens of power and an incitation TO a
bitter warfare between the consumers
and the producers.
