PASSED OVER WEALTH.

Just as the early pioneers were
inspired to pass over the rich farm
lands Of the middle west to hunt for
gold in the beckoning far west, so
they overlooked many opportunities
in the land of gold to secure wealth.
A recent bulletin Of the geological
survey touches on the last interest
ing topic. Placer mining, which went
into eclipse in California and on the
Pacific coast generally with the ap-
parent exhaustion of the rich gold
bearing gravels, the report says, is
still yielding considerable returns to
the hydraulic plant and the dredge,
which have largely replaced the pan
and the rocker Of early days. In
many western camps, too, Mexicans
and others are "gophering out" and
panning small amounts of gold.
Trinity river, California, for IN
stance, on fhich placer mining has
been done for sixty years, is report
ed by the bulletin to yield between
$350,000 and 100000 year,
mostly from gravels of a grade 80
low that the early miners passed
them scornfully by. Ages ago glac-
iers overrode this region, gringing
away the surface of a great granite
mass that is scanned with gold veins
and de posting its fragments in the
valley in a carpet of so-called dead
wash" Frost and weather, decom-
posed this wash, reducing its parti-
cles and freeing the gold they car
Tied. Then came water, working
and reworking, carrying away the
lighter parts and concentrating the
heavier gold at the bottom, whence
the miner gathers it. In the Rands-
burg district, further south, at the
borders of the Mojave desert, where
there were neither glaciers nor
frost, the gold remains chiefly in
the rocks where it was first deposit
ed by heated solutions or vapors
that welled up from the depths of
the earth. Here the stamp mill has
been set up instead of the dredge
and the hydraulic nozzle and has
pounded out 100000 or 100000
600 in gold. The mines of this dis
trict produced s656.56O in 1903.

INCREASING ACTIVITY
IN KEYSTONE DISTRICT

The announcement that another
deal has been lined up in the Key
stone district has added to the hopes
Of the people of that section Of the
country, who for some time past
have been experiencing more rosy an
ticipations Of revived prosperity than
has been in evidence for a number
Of years. The new deal, the details
of which have not yet been made pub
lie, is said to be in the hands Of peo-
pie who will experience no difficulty
in raising the necessary capital when
the time comes to carry out their
initial move.
Furthermore, the deal involves
one Of the most promising proper
ties in the district and one that has
already established it's claim to rec
ognition. The other deals which
have been pending in the camp are
said to be progressing favorably
and there seems to be certainty of
majority Of them being carried to
successful conclusion.

CRISIS PROBABLE
IN CUBAN AFFAIRS.

HAVANA, CUBA, Aug. with
the adjournment of the Cuban con-
gress, after a session singularly poor
in usefulness, there sounds on all
sides the first note of active prepar-
alton for the political campaign pre-
ceding the elections to be held dur
ing the first week of. November.
Everywhere it is realized that in
these elections the young republic
faces the most serious crisis that has
confronted 1t in its brief career. In
the coming contest half the senate
and half the house of representa-
tives are to be chosen, together with
a number of local officials through
out the island. The situation is
complicated by the great number of
parties, with still others in process
of formation. Among the minor
parties now springing into existence,
and one which may acquire consid-
cradle force, Is that of La Jovena
Cuba, or Young Cuba" modelled, so
its leaders say, after the Young
Turks" and the party Of Young
Italy"

THE CHAPLAIN breaches.

At II o'clock yesterday morning
Chaplain M. F. Montgomery of Lead
preached one Of the most able SER
mons ever heard by Watertown peo-
pie in the club house at Camp
Roosevelt. The chaplain spoke from
standpoint of an optimist and, al
though saying that several things
were to be regretted, such as corrup-
ton in politics and municipal affairs,
he described this great country,
speaking of it's resources, intelli-
gence and noble institutions and OF
it's further possibilities.
The service was short but most i'm
pressive. The Fourth Regiment band
played several sacred selections and
Miss Bernice Case sang a beautiful
solo entitled, God Be Merciful to
Me-" In closing, the band played
America" the audience rising and
singing.
It was intended that the services
should be held in the open air, but on
account of the disagreeable wind the
club house was used. Here there were
seats for the ladies and most Of the
officers and visitors from the city
while the other soldiers either stood
o rwere seated on the floor. Many
people from town availed themselves
of the opportunity of hearing Chap
lain Montgomery preach and al felt
that they were amply repaid-Water.

NEW WELL AT PIERRE
HAS A FINE FLOW

PIERRE, Aug. 3.-On Saturday
the drill workers at work on the new
city well struck fine flow of wat
er and gas and will soon complete
their work. They are in porous
rock now, at depth Of about 1900
feet and will probably have to go
some 10 or Is feet farther to pene-
trate the rock. The well is one of
the largest in the state and consid-
erably exceeds any previously put
down in the city. 1t is hoped that
the city gas supply will be sufficient
and satisfactory as soon as the we'll
is finished and the gas turned into
the main
During the four days that must
elapse before this can be done, how
ever, a scarcity of gas may be felt
on account of the new well probably
reducing the supply of the other
wells. 1t is hoped that this temper
ary inconvenience will be borne
with patience as the new well is ex-
pected to remedy the long standing
difficulties over gas. The cost of the
well has not yet been completely es-
timated but although considerable il
will probably prove to be well worth
all 1t cost.

RICH SHOOT IN MIKADO

| A vein carrying rich values has
been encountered in the Golden Re-
wards Mikado shaft in the Bald
Mountain country. Its trend is
toward the south and from ap-
pearance of the find, it is more than
probable valuable discoveries will be
made in the ground to the south OF
the present workings, the former
not having been prospected up to the
present time
Nothing was said regarding the
vein above mentioned when it was
first encountered, as there was a
chance for its pinching out. Subse-
quent development does not prove
this to be the case. but instead opens
up the possibilities Of the Golden
Reward company in virgin territory
The Golden Reward mill has not
been running at capacity for some
time owing to the worn out condi-
tion of one of the Chilian mill bot
toms. Word was received from
Akron, o, that a new casting
for the mill would be shipped yester-
day afternoon, and upon its arrival
and installation. the daily tonnage of
the mill will at once be greatly in
creased.

RAPID CITY BUSINESS COLLEGE.

Rapid City now has a Business
College, or commercial school, fully
equipped to prepare young men and
young women to take a place in the
office or in business. The courses
are all thorough and do not stop at a
mere superficial knowledge of the
subject. For instance, the book
keeping department includes instruc-
tion in bookkeeping, penmanship,
commercial law, arithmetic, letter
writing and language, rapid calcula-
tion, spelling, banking, wholesale,
retail and real estate. The short
hand and type writing course in
cludes shorthand, typewriting, SPELL
ing, language, rapid calculation, die
tation, mimeograph, phonograph and
model office. A course at the school
fits young people to command the
highest salaries in their lines, and it
is not expensive.

ment had been arranged for.
Last year showed an increase of
230, 900, 900 pounds, or 10 per cent
over the preceding year and the last
three years together, including 1910,

313, 100000 pounds per annum or
27 pc rcent over the 1907 produc-
ton.
AS 1t is thought that production

be about SIS. 100000 pounds or 116,

COCHRAN FINDS A NEW LEDGE.

James Cochran, who recently re-
turned from his rancn at fonca,
Okla, to take up assessment work on
his mining ground in the Rockford
district, known as the Cochran mine,
has come upon a new discovery,
which promises TO add materially 10
the ore supply of the property. The
new discovery was made at point
q short distance east of the former
workings and comes from the work
ing out of a theory which Mr.. Coch-
ran has long maintained, that the
mineral belt which passes through
his property is made up Of an inde-
finite number of veins Of various
widths.
The ore recently struck Is in a
ledge, which from exploration thus
far made, appears to have a width
of from twenty-five to thirty feet,
and has every appearance OF being
as substantial as any Of the ore bod
les heretofore opened up on the pro-
perty. 1t lies parallel with the 9TH
er developed veins and strikes In a
direction about northwest and south
east. The development thus far ac-
complished Is necessarily small, as
only few days have been devoted
to the work. An open cut has been
run in on 1t a distance Of about for
ty feet and the ore Is said to give
up fair prospect Of free gold in the
pan in all parts exposed. West of
this new discovery, are the three
ledges which were opened up in the
past and from which the ore that has
been worked In the Cochran mill has
been taken.
The owner has not announced
whether he intends to do any more
than the assessment work this year,
although 1t was understood when he
quit work last year that he expected
to make a mill run before the end Of
the fall. The plant requires very
little in the way Of preparation, as
it is one Of the simplest propositions
in the mining world and can be oper-
ated with probably a smaller force
than any quartz mine in the coun-
try. At times 1t has been run with
a force of three men, one miner, who
also loaded the buckets, a teamster
who loaded the wogan on top and
hauled the ore to the mill and Coch-
ran himself, who fred the boiler and
attended to the running Of the mill,
which has a capacity Of about fif-
teen tons daily.

PUMPING OIL WITH WINDMILL.

Operations continue on the prop
erty of the Rockford Wyoming Oil
company at Rocky Ford, Wyo.,
where they are using a wind mill to
pump the oil from the last well put
down. The plan is said to be work.
ing very satisfactorily. as in that sec
tion of the country they are seldom
without sufficient wind to keep their
pump going.
The work is still being done in
shallow wells, none OF which is more
than 400 feet deep. but plans for the
sinking Of deep well, to a distance
Of not less than 1900 feet are being
made. The necessary capital, which
Is estimated to be about $4,000, is
being raised and the work of this
character will be commenced as soon
as they see their way clear to meet
Ing the expense Of the w.IA. 1t is
the belief Of the management .nat
at that depth from the surface, they
will be able to tap a flowing well.

WHAT is A WILDCAT?
mining Reporter)

In commenting upon the criticism
OF wildcatting, Mr.. Beckworth, in
the communication already men
toned, draws a sharp distinction be-
tween wildcatting and the legiti-
mate use Of capital in the develop
pent Of prospects where there are
favorable indications for finding ore
in commercial quantities. 1t Is not
to be assured that the failure to de-
velope a mine out of prospect is
proof that the undertaking was a
wildcatting venture.
If competent mining men are of
the opiuion that the showing made
in prospect Is good enough to war
rant the expenditure necessary to
determine whether or not 1t can be
made into a mine, and IL the capital
employed is judiciously used, the
men who furnish the capital have
no grounds for complaint should the
results be disappointing. They are
taking chances, and they stand to
win sums out of all proportion to
the amounts risked, but they cannot
expect to win every time.
Wildcatting is a term that is very
loosely used. The most common
meaning Of wildcat seems to be a
prospect on which the expectation of
finding ore is not warranted by sur
face or other indications. In other
words, a wildcat is not a good gam
BILE.
Nevertheless, a wildcat some
times develops into a mine. A long
shot sometimes wins. The we'll
known Mohawk at Goldfield, now
forming a part of the property
owned by the Goldfield Consoli-
dated, was once a wildcat. but de-

YANKTON COUNTY CROPS
ALL SHOWING UP WELL.

YANKTON, S. D., Aug. 9.-All
anxiety as to this years crops have
disappeared with the threshing re-
turns of the past week. In spite of
drought and so-called unfavdrable
weather, Yankton county is showing
up excellently, better in fact than
last year, when it was too wet. Nu-
merous returns from all parts of the
county show oats this year of excep-
tional quality, although rather shy
as to quality. A few fields go as
low as 10 bushels an acre, but even
these are very good oats. Many
fields go 35 bushels per acre and
this figure is about the average.
Wheat is surprising crop this year,
better than for six years past, thresh-
ing figures giving yields from Is to
% bushels per acre, whereas the
average for the county is seldom
over II bushels. The quality is fine
and many farmers are grading in
"No. 1" for the first time in their
lives. All over the county the wheat
yield is exceptionally good and it is
attributed very largely to the ideal
weather for wheat, the absence Of
rust, owing to the absence of heeavy
rains and scorching suns during the
maturing period. Rye, barley and
flax are so little raised locally as to
be unworthy of comment, beyond the
fact that they are all good crops this
year

MORE DEVELOPMENT
IN AMALGAM CASE

Further developments in the theft
of amalgam from the mills of the
Homestake Mining company in Lead
by some of the young employees, are
expected shortly.
Neither the officials of the COM
pany or the county officials will
make public much information con-
corning the robbery at this time and
the exact amount lost by the COM
pany through the operation of the
suspected persons has not been
stated, although it is said to be in
the neighborhood of $4,000. Ac-

pany, no decision has yet been
reached as to the steps to be taken

have confessed to a systematic rob-
bing of the plates,
