has resided in this county since 1887,
and was one OF Minnehaha's most
prominent farmers for many years.
He was a mar of high character
and principles, sympathetic for those
in trouble and it was that very trait
which induced him to go over to his
neighbours, Bonacker, whose cattle
were dying with anthrax and see if
he could not save that ~neishbsr a few
dollars by removing the hides from
those cattle, that the hides might
subsequently be sold.

The quarries in the island of Paros,
which yielded the beautiful Parian
marble-translated into the highest
form of artistic presentment by the

In spite Of our smoke-laden atmos-
phere, not a few distinguished archi-
tects have waxed enthusiastic over the
claims Of marble for the exteriors OF
great city buildings. Mr.. G. r. Bodley,
X. A, declared that London should be
rebuilt with white marble. Time
would he said, tone the material
and touch 1t with mellowing tints;
cleaned down in a few hours with a
water-jet." But the caustic comment
was made in connection that It was
not a matter of prettiness and poetry,
but OF the solvent action of acids upon
calcium-carbonate. Undoubtedly, how
ever, high-class marbles, particularly
the Greek varieties, are finding dis
tinct and increasing use in the build
ings of London's eve and imposing
business edifices. 4,
Marble and Granite Q%uarrylne,
h principal methods of marble ex-
traction that modern experience and
practise have evolved are those of saw
ing and channeling. The former sys-
tenn is used largely in France, Italy
N Belgium, and almost exclusively
on the Marmor properties in Greece.
The saw itself is an endless steel rope
of three strands, loosely twisted to-
gether. This cutter is passed round a
driving-wheel and carried on guiding
pulleys from a power house at a high
speed. The wire saw enables stone
not only to be cut from the rock bed,
but sawn on the spot into blocks of
a handy size for export.
What Is known as the ohanneler, or
channeling machine, is in operation at
all important quarries in the United
States. A locomotive machine, feed
ing on a rallied track and driven either
by steam or electric propulsion, 1t
consists of a row Of long vertical CHS
els set In a strong travelling frame.
The gang of chisels vibrate up and
down, rapidly cutting a channel in any
direction in the face of the solid mar

In A~berdeenshire, granite areas
reach their maximum. The Rubislaw
n Kemnay quarries are the largest
granite Qusrries In tho United King
dom, and have each a depth of 300
feet. The rock IL removed by boring
and blasting, and as the material is
blasted out the blocks are lifted from
the working face by cranes and cable
ways, masses beyond the power OF the
lifting appliances being further broken
W rs they lie. Rock drilling is carried
out by power drills, either by steam or
compressed air. At the Rubislaw
quarry & complete new air-compress-
ing plant. driven by q ,100-horse power
electric motor, is installed for working
rock drills, the pressure being 100
pounds per square inch.

Of Dell Rapids, wanted to ship a cav
load of poultry from Dell Rapids to
Chicago, but the agent of the MilwaI-
kee Railroad company at Dell RAPIDS
would not accept the poultry for ship
ment, because he had been ordered
not to receive it, until the qua antine
is raised.
The Rhine representative came to
Sioux Falls and called on the sheriff,
asking that something be done t.
compel the Milwaukee to accept the
carload, but Sheriff Nelson ad-
vised the man that he was power
less and that the county is now unoer

will be impossible for me to grant
any one permission to ship out quar-
sntined stock or poultry, until this
quarantine is raised.
DIR. Graham, the deputy state vet
erinarian, has the authority to re-
lease this quarantine, and he is tn
man to be consulted"
DR.. Graham was asked last evening
if he had received a call from the
Rhine people and he said that he had,
and that he had released the poultry
at Dell Rapids.
Il made an investigation of the con-
ditions surrounding the delivery OF
that poultry at Dell Rapids and found
out that it had not come from any dis
trict of the county which has anthrax
nor that had yet been exposed to the
disease and feel perfectly safe in say
ing that that poultry should have
been released. And I released it. That
does not mean, however, that I will
release another car Of poultry in that
same district. 1t may develop tomor-
row that anthrax is in that locality
and then of course, the strictest
measures will have to be adopted"

Mitchell, official veterinarian of the
United States government, were in the
city yesterday, for the purpose of go
ing over the situation here with DR..
Graham, who had reported the an
thrax conditions in this county to
them.
In company with DR.. Graham, they
visited the Bonacker farm and other
places in that locality, examined thor
oughly the cattle and horses in that
vicinity, and after they had returned
to the city last evening, both Mr..
Hicks and Mr.. Smith endorsed every
official action of DR.. Graham's, in con-
nection with the anthrax quarantine
and left the situation entirely in his
hands to deal with.
They expressed confidence that Or.
Graham had handled the trouble as
we'll as any n could have done and
that he is capable Of continuing to
handle 1t.

night.

evening for the south part OF the state
to investigate rumors to the enect
that there 10 anthrax amenB the cat
tie in certain districts, in that part OF
South Dakota. ,
1t is now reported that William kirK
who died as the result of anthrax
poisoning, had only removed the hide
from one of the cattle at the onack
farm. It was believed that the animal
which Mr.. Kirk skinned had died from
some heart trouble and that when two
Others died very soon after he han
finished his work IN the first, he be-
came alarmed and stopped work.
His experience with one OF the dead
animals was, therefore, enough To
thoroughly ~inoculate him.
Sheriff Charles Nelson Is having his
share of excitement with the anthrax
quarantine, which has been placed on
M~innehaha county and which prevents
for the present the shipping OF live
stock or poultry out OF this county.
