Elizabeth Howard.

A Scranton, Kansas newspaper
has the following notice OF the death
and funeral of the late Mrs. How
ard:
Elizabeth Howard, daughter Of
JOS. and Ursula McNeish, was born
September IA, 1867, at Fairbanks,
Trega county, Pennsylvania, and died
September 27, 1910, at Deadwood,
South Dakota, aged 43 years and 13
days.
Elizabeth accompanied her parents
to this county 35 years ago, she lived
here until about IA years ago when
she went to Deadwood, South Dako-
ia, where she has made her home
ever since. She allied herself with
the Methodist Episcopal church in
1905 and upon removing to Dead
wood choose the First Baptist church
of that place. Death was caused by
heart failure; she was sick only few
days and passed away peacefully
Tuesday morning in st. Joseph hospi-
tai .
Mr.. Geo. Gabus, close friend of
the family accompanied the body
home.
Her many friends here and in
Deadwood showed their love and
sympathy by the floral offerings and
letters OF coincidence. She was mar
ried in 1885 and leaves a son and
daughter, mother and father, three
sisters and two brothers besides
many friends to mourn her loss

of the miners and is equal to the
scent increase per ton paid to the
miner on five tons of coal mined
daily.
DR.. Blackmar declares that the
consumers paid $1,000,000 excess
prior to the strike, $40, 900, 900 dur
ing the strike on increased prices for
contract coal, $2,50O,000 on in
creased prices for cash coal and he
estimates that before the year is
out the consumers will have paid
500, 100000 they would not have
paid but for the strike. This esti-
mate may not be fulfilled; the
figures above given may be subject
to revision. But enough is known
impossible of refutation to prove
that the strike was a piece of costly
folly from which the public is the
chief sufferer, as always In view
Of these facts DR.. Blackmar is abso-
lutely correct when he declares that
the most important result of the
strike settlement is the provision
for compulsory arbitration, which
will preclude repetition of such
economic crimes in the future.

DEAL PENDING ON
WARREN PEAK GROUND

DR.. l.. d. Bailor of Lead, is in the
east engaged in putting through a
deal which is expected to bring
about the acquisition of capital to
be devoted to the further develop
ment of the property of the Warren
Peak Mining company, in the Bear
Lodge district of Wyoming.
1t is understood that DR.. Bailor
has been in communication with a
party of capitalists who have ex-
pressed willingness to undertake
the development of the property, If
1t is as represented and as there
seems to be no doubt but that the
ground is even better than the re-
ports sent out by the owners indi-
cate, it is thought probable that the
deal will be carried out successfully.
The Warren Peak company ground
is owned principally by the Book
brothers of Rockford. who, during
the past several years have devot-
ed considerable amount of time
and money to it's development. They
have been rewarded by opening up
one of the most promising prospects
in the Bear Lodge district and now
have it in shape for examination.
They have exposed several parallel
veins, which give an aggregate
width of between 80 and 40 feet of
ore, that is Of excellent grade. 1t is
believed that it will not take a great
amount of additional development to
warrant the erection of a mill and
it is the intention at this time, to
raise capital for the erection Of a
plant as we'll as for the prosecu-
tion of further development work.

GOOD SHOWING ON
THE BROWN GROUND

James Brown, the pioneer miner
of the Strawberry gulch district, has
completed his assessment work for
this year and is well satisfied with
the showing he has made. He has
made it point to do more than the
amount of work required by law
each year and has succeeded in
opening up his property to an ex-
tent that puts it in condition to be
readily examined.
His ground is located on the ridge
across the gulch from and to the
south of the Puritan property, now
owned by the Alta Mining company.
1t is in the vertical and contains
some well defined and apparently
substantial ledges of ore, all of
which show considerable value 1t
is one of the best prospects in that
section of the country, but requires
capital to thoroughly open it up.
The owner has been obliged to go
along slowly, working on limited
funds, but he has plans in view
which are expected to lead to a
more complete development of the
ground, at no far distant date.

A LLAGRANT UNTRUTH

The old saying that more gold has
been put into the ground in search of
gold than has been taken out Of 1t 10
la fragrant untruth and has been re-
peated thousands of times by we'll
meaning people and newspaper writ
ers. Yet the truth is that the Com
stock mine alone, with an aggre-
gate production of approximately
5000, ,000, 900, have yielded more OF
the precious metals than was contain
ed in all the dollars which have been
expended in all Of the gold and ST.
YER producing districts on this conti-
inent. There has been hoisted through
the Consolidated Virginia shaft,
which pierced the argentiferous heart
of the famous Comstock lode, in ex-
cess Of $140,000,000 worth Of god
silver ores. The dividends paid by
, the Consolidated Virginia Mining
company amounted to the stupendous
sum Of nearly $S4,170.0oo. The for
tunes dug from the depths OF the
Consolidated Virginia have been in
strumental in the rearing OF many
cities that front the Pacific coast;
have done yeoman service In the
stretching of cables across the At
llantic and Pacific oceans; have play
ed an important part in the connect
ling of the two oceans by rail; have
bolstered the credit Of nation In
time of war and financial embarrass-
ment. All these things have they
done in the past, and yet today they
participate as actively in the carry
ing on of the worlds affairs as they
did several decades ago, when the
spJendor of Nevada's silver star was
|lrst seen in the constellation of the
states.

GOOD WORK PROVES
THE LEAST COSTLY

During the recent session of the
board of county commissioners, bills
against the county, amounting in the
aggregate to $52,260.12 were allow
ed and ordered paid. OF this total
$15,205.46 was against the general
fund and $17,056.66 against the
road and bridge fund. The largest
individual bills against these funds
was the sheriff's Of about $4,000
against the general, and $4,000
against the road and bridge for
metal culverts. This latter was the
largest individual item, but the cost
of building the new road from
Whitewood to Spearfish, made up of
a number of items, was considerably
larger.
The fact that the system which
the commissioners are now adopting
Of but ting in sILJ.r ntjal and perma-
nent road work instead of making
temporary repairs. is an economical
one. was forcibIy demonstrated du-
ring the last session OK the board,
when the various road and bridge
bills were under consideration. 1t
was pointed out that in the con-
lstruction of the new thoroughfare
on the Spearfish road, where a high
way well up on the hill side had
been built to replace the old one in
the gulch, an expenditure of less
than $1,100 was made, whereas here
torfore $4,000 had been spent in try
ing to repair at different times, the
old road. On Lexington Hill, where
Charles S. Hardin directed the work
the road has been put in the best con.
dition in its history and it cost
less than 5000. Down Whitewoot
creek, below Deadwood, the road has
been put in excellent condition ane
the expenditure was about $500.
On the other hand, there are sec.
tions of the county where $4,000 has
been spend during the last quarter
in road repairs with very little t
show for it and what has been done
is Of the kind that the first heav.
storm will obliterate.

IRON HILL PUMPS
AGAIN RUNNING SMOOTHLY


The Black Hills Development and
Financial corporation has been hav
ing an almost uninterrupted course
of work in their exploration of the
workings if the various mines of the
Carbonate camp, but recently they
have been up against a small am
cunt of trouble, through the failure
OF their pumps to operate satisfac-
torily. Coming after a considerable
period OF smooth operations, it was
regarded more seriously than there
was any probable occasion for. The
trouble came after the $50 foot lev
el had been unwatered and a partial
Investigation of those workings had
been made, with most satisfactory
results.
The temporary failure of the
pumps to work, caused a partial re-
filling of the ESQ foot level, and con-
sequently forced a suspension of
work at that point for several days.
They have however, remedied the de
fects and the pumps are again work.

HIRED A WAITRESS


Before his foot race with Wild
man several weeks ago in Rapid
City, an attempt was made to dope
Ronin, according to the statement
of a Rapid City waitress, made to
several Deadwood men last Sunday,
while they were in that town expect
ing the Ronin-Kendreth race to
come off.
The girl, who is a waitress at the
Harvey hotel, says she was at dance
the night before the race and was
approached by man, whom she is
willing to name If called upon to do
SO, who handed her a bottle contain
ing dope and asked her to put three
drops of the stuff in whatever Ronin
might drink at her table next day.
She took the bottle, with a half in
tention to carry out the request, but
later weakened. She could not, how
ever, have succeeded in her purpose,
as 1t happened that Ronin ate at a
different hotel on the day of the
race, in which he found It so easy
Ito defeat Wildman, that he broke
the tape with his back.

THE COST AND FOLLY
OF THE STRIKE,

DR.. Frank w. Blackmar, sociolo-
gist of the Kansas State university.
has compiled some significant sta
tistics and drawn some cogent con-
clusions concerning the recent coal
strike. Perhaps the most striking
feature of his analysis is the state
ment that the 10000 coal miners
affected by the five months strike
lost in wages $12,500,000. They
gained an increase of about rs
cents per day in wages, and at this
rate the $4,000 miners gaining rs
cents day each, or $500 in the
aggregate for one day, would require
in round numbers 1900 days or four
years, working every day in the year,
to make up the sum lost in wages
not received during the five months
strike. In other words, each of the
five months of idleness will require
ten months for the miners to make
up the loss sustained during that
month.
But as the cost of coal has been
heavily increased during the strike
and boosted" another 25 cents per
ton after the settlement, according
to Professor Blackmar's figures. the
whole burden has been thrown upon
the consumer. The increase of 20
cents per ton alone offsets the 25
cents increase in the daily earnings

GILLETTE COWBOYS
CAPTURE BEAR ALIVE

Frank Wilkinson and Robert Will
son were given a surprise party last
Monday morning while galloping
across the prairie and hills to Join
a roundup when they ran onto a
black bear taking its morning meal
on a carcass. 1t took the boys only
a minute to take in the situation and
they decided to capture "his majes-
ty" alive. Frank soon had his lariet
in action and while he had no trou-
BILE in roping him, he did have trou-
BILE in keeping the rope around the
animal, as the bear would grab the
rope and slip it off as fast as he could
get 1t around him. Finally, however,
Mr.. Wilson got the rope around his
hind legs and a few minutes longer
found his securely "hog tied" and a
piece of bailing wire bound about
his jaws. which completed the task

Of making him as gentle as Mary's
lamb. The animal was taken to Mr..
Wilson's residence on Little Powder
and Tuesday the gentlemen brought
him to Gillette, where he was on ex-
hibition during the day. The boys
have taken steps to dispose of him to
some of the big parks of the eastern
cities, where such things are greatly
sought after and bring fancy prices.
The boys are naturally very proud
Of their capture. 1t is, to all appear
ances, a this springs cub, and the
opinion now prevails among many
that there must be more of them in

EXAMINING POSSIBILITIES
in STRAWBERRY GJICT

In view of the proposed resump-

ing company, the owner of the Puri-
tan ground at the head of Strawber-
ry gulch, attention is again drawn
to that district and in this connec-
tion, it has been announced in the
interest of party Of eastern capt.
talists. to whom the possibilities of
the camp have been represented as
Especially inviting. It is stated that
the examination was conducted with
out any announcement and that it
was confined entirely to surface
work as the object was to aprise none
of the owners that the work was in
progress.
1t is understood that the surface

was productive Of q fav
orable report and that a plan is now
on foot to go into the subject more
thoroughly with a view to making
an underground inspection, where
ever that is possible. When this is
it will be impossible to
keep the matter quiet any longer and
1t is probable that at the same time
the owners of property in that dis
trict win be approached with re-
quests for options, which will be
used in case the further examination
warrants the prospective purchasers
in undertaking an extensive system
of development.

"UNCROWNED KINGS"

While we watch Portugaps first
essays at republican government 1t
is good time to remember how lit
tie change from monarchical to
democratic forms Of government of
itself marks change from a monar-
chical to a democratic people. The
change in form comes of slow and
stady growth OF democratic ideas.
but that growth will still be slow
and staggering. The form does not
tell a complete story. England is
making giant strides in democracy
under king. Some Americans be-
lieve monarchical England is In fact
more democratic than our own boast
ed land of the free. Portugal under
King Manuel, was hardly less a des-
potism than Rhode Island under Boss
Brayton. The Wrist despots In the
world are found ruling South Am
criean republics.
Unquestionably democratic forms
OF government give freer scope to the
democratic evolution than the kingly
form, ard so kings must eventually
cease. But the form does not ins IRE
the substance. The regiments of iit-
tie kings-bosses we call them
whom we have had to topple over in
recent years prove that. Likewise
Portugal, II the republic Is to sue
ceed, must go on dethroning un-
crowded kings with remorseless en-
ergy. For whenever the many nod
on the throne there will be an am
bitous one to usurp their place,
king in fact IL not in title. Some
body always rules.
