Paulhan's performances in America
He is the most spectacular aeroplane
rider of France. At Rheims his hair
raising feats evoked reluctant pro
tests from the president of France.
In England, mere recently, he was
the hero of the aviation week.
Before sailing from France at a
farewell dinner he told the diners he
would attempt to smash all existing
records while in the Wrights' coun-
try This means he will try to beat
his own altitude fight of 1880 feet.
In addition to this he must break
the duration and distance flight rec
ord, the passenger-carrying record,
the speed record and the cross COun-
try fight record.
Farman holds the duration and
distance fight record His fight of
four hours and seventeen minutes
won the Michelin trophy. His
brother, Maurice, recently estab-
lished a new cross-countTy flight rec
ord by travelling 43 miles continu-
ously. Latham, in his Antoinette,
made the worlds speed record at
Blackpool by flying at the rate of 80
miles an hour. The best passenger
carrying record was made by Farman
at Rheims. He carried two passen-
gers besides himself.
What Paulhan Promises.
Paulhan has assured his friends
he would attemtp to fly for eight
hours while in this country. He has
machine specially built for this
purpose. With the same machine
he hopes to take up three passengers
besides himself on a sustained flight
This aerOplane, one of Farman's
latest models, is equipped with a
50-horse power GnomO rotary motor
This is the motor Paulhan himself
pOpularized. 1t was unknown until
he made his height record last July.
He is loyal to it because the manu-
facturers, the Seguin Brothers, let
him have it on very liberal terms
Their confidence enabled him to get
his start.
The biplane, with this 50-horse
power motor, will be used on the
cross country fight. When he finds
a locality with satisfactory topo-
graphical conditions and the right
sort of weather he will attempt to
fly between two communities from
Z ) to 100 miles apart
When he tries a new altitude rec
ord he will use either his much-be-
loved Farman blplane or one of the
Bleriot monoplanes. For the speed
record he will use the Bleriot mono
plane. AS he will be Obliged to fly
swifter than Latham he must dart
through the atmosphere at veloci-
ty very close to 100 miles an hour
This comes perilously close @to the

AIR DAREDGV|LS NOT DEFERRED BY ACCIDENTS


hurting speed of a projectile. 1t
should be one of the most sensation
al flights ever attempted. Many per-
sons believe there is no aeroplane in
existence which will withstand the
pressure against body moving so
rapidly.
Skill Is the Thing.
| Wilbur Wright is often quoted as
saying that he personally depends
more upon the skill of the operator
than upon any mechanical balancing
devices yet produced. If this is true
| it is tantamOunt to the admission that
| the successful operation of an aero
plane depends chiefly upon the aero
battle skill of the driver.
Wright may not have said this.
But many other aeroplane experts
of international reputation have
frankly admitted it. Latham not
only has said that aeroplane driving
is nine-tenths human skill, but has
demonstrated his assertion repeat
eddy while in perilOus flight. Count
de Lambert, after his sensational
flight around the Eifel Tower, said
he would probably have met with
disaster if he had not possessed pres
ence Of mind.
Bleriot has frequently told his pu-
pills they must not attempt difficult
flights until they have developed an
extraordinary instinct of equilibrium.
Delagrange, who was killed few
days ago, openly confessed to ex-
IRENE nervousness. He often said
it appalled, him to think what might
happen if he lost his self-control only
for a fraction of a second while fly
ing.
Danger Always Present.
Before he went to Rheims Curtiss
made the statement that you never
could foretell what would happen.
He emphatically declared the slight
est diversion which might upset the
operators mental equilibrium would
mean destruction. Even the Wrights
often have protested against the dar-
ing feats accomplished by their pu-
pills. Wilbur Wright only recently
pointed out that AZ flights might be
made in perfect safety, while the fif-
Some recent aeroplane fatalities
were due to mechanical defects. Yet
more have been attributed to mis-
calculation on the part of the pilot
Lefebre, who was fined for foolhard-
mess at Rheims, forfeited his life be-
cause his instinct of balance failed
him at a critical moment. Capt. Fer
Der failed to judge his chances cor
rectly and the biplane capsized, the
motor falling upon him. Fernandez
was careless about the details of his
machine, and was crushed in the
frightful fall. Delagrange was one
of the most careful pilots in the
world But all his skill did not avail
when the balance of the machine was
upset in mid-air by the breaking of d
wing. Neither was the pluck or
knowledge of Selfridge of any use
when the broken propeller upset the
equilibrium of the Wright machine
above Fort Myers.
Almost all recent accidents that
did not result so tragically are di-
rectly attributed to the personal
equation. Engelhart, who smashed
the Wright machine at Berlin, lost
control in mid-air. Bleriot could not
regain his balance while flying over
Constantinople. Latham repeatedly
has fallen from perilOus heights, but
luckily without serious consequences.

SENATOR GAMBLE
PUSHING ALLOTMENTs

WASHINGTON, d. c. June H.
Aberdeen will not lose the United
States land office until late in the
fall. Senator Gamble held confer
ence today with Commissioner Dem
nett, of the general land office, and
with Judge Witten its law officer and
it is understood that no action is to
be taken by the interior depart
ment looking to the removal of the
office from Aberdeen until all filings
under the registration are completed.
This means that the towns west of
the Missouri river which are seeking
the land office will have to wait six
months or more at any rate.
If the plans of Senator Gamble and
the Indian office do not fail the set
tiers will be moving on the claims
of Mellette and Bennett next spring
in time put in their crops. The SEN
ator visited Commissioner Valentine
today in the hope OF expediting the
completion of allotments on lands to
be opened on the Rosebud and Pine
Ridge Indian reservations.
1t is now understood here that the
allotment work in those particular
localities of the reservation are large
ly completed, and it is believed that
the primary work can be pressed SO
that registration may be had on
both reservations during the early
fall, with filings and settlement on
the lands in the spring OF 1911.
Senator Gamble is personally great
ly interested in these openings, as
the bills which opened them were his
own.

MINERAL HILL COMPANY
STARTING DOUBLE SHA

Superintendent H. L. Burch of the
Mineral Hill Mining company an
nounces that they have started sink
ing two compartment shaft which
they intend to ultimately put down
to a depth of 600 feet. They are
contracting for two 130 horse pow
er boilers and a double drum hoist
ing engine, capable of sinking 1000
feet.
The Mineral Hill ground compris-
es about 500 acres, situated on the
south fork of Box Elder creek and a
short distance south Of the property
of the Custer Peak Mining COM
pany. They have prospected the
ground very carefully and have ex-
tensively assaycd the outcrops of the
ledges, which have also been explor
ed in shallow shafts and tunnels.
The ore, which occurs in a ledge
of about As feet in width, is a gold
and copper bearing proposition, and
is said to be of good milling value.
1t is the intention of the manage
ment Of the company to give the
property a thorough development
and they are said to be in a posi-
tion which promises to afford them
all the capital necessary for carry
ing out their plans.

JURY AWARDS BENNER 49, $50

The jury in the case OF George
Senner against the c. B. ana 4.
railroad company which has been on
trial in the circuit court for three
days, brought in a verdict at 9.15
o'clock last night, finding for the
plaintiff in the sum Of $3.50. The
suit was brought to recover 6amag-
.es for the destruction of a tract of
100 acres of timber near Galena,
said to have been caused by sparks
from a locomotive owned by the de-
fendant company. Benner alleged
damages to the amount of $500
and the main contention Of the suit
was the question of the value Of the
timber destroyed.
N. r. Mason, attorney for the plain
tiff introduced the testimony of four
teen witnesses, most of them ex-
perts, as to the value of the mater
ial destroyed, while the defendant
brought forward thirteen witnesses,
in an effort to establish the fact that
the timber was worth much less than
claimed by the plaintiff. The var
ienCe in the estimates of the wit
nesses of the plaintiff and of the de-
fendant was most remarkable. Those
for the plaintiff placed the value
close to the sum asked in the bill of
complaint, while the defendants
placed 1t at not more than $500, and
some of them regarded the timber as
valueless. The defendants low esti-
mates were based on the inaccessi-
bility of the tract on which the tim
Der stood, the witnesses insisting
that it was so remote from service
able roads that the bringing of the
cut timber to a saw mill would Drac-
tically deprive it of value. The de-
fendant also contended that It was
not certain that spark from a Bur-
lington engine had caused the fire,
but that it might have been caused
by spark from locomotive cwned
by tn Branch Mint Mining company
which was operating at the time of
the fire in September, 1908. 1t ap-
pears however, that the jury regard
ed with greater favor the testimony
Of the plaintiffs witnesses and
brought in q verdict which ia a LITTLE
more than half the amount asked.
The jury retired at $50 o'clock last
evening and was out two hours and
forty-five minutes.

relatives. Mr.. Book is one of the
principal stockholders in the Warrens
eak Mines Company whose property
is located in the Bear Lodge Noun
tains in Wyoming. The company has
done considerable development work
on the different claims and the show
ing SO far made has met all the ex-
pectations of the owners. The for
nation very much resembles that of
Cripple Greek, Colo, and the belief
that the prospect will develop in

tanned by the exposure of a large
body of ore and the uniform even
manner in which the gold is dissem-
mated throughout as has been prov
en- by pan tests.

will be an east and west line pass
ing through Redfern.
The forestry department has for a
long time recognized the necessity
for this division, owing to the great
extent of the present Black Hills
forest, which contains 100000 &C
res. The division has been made SO
that the two units will contain prac-
tically equal areas, something more
than 100000 acres each. At this
time the Black Hills reserve is the
largest in the United States, and has
been the most active, in the way that
more business has been transacted
here than in any of the other re-
serves.
The forest officials have been
aware that the work of handling this
vast area has been much too great
for one man land although Super
visor Kelleter has accomplished the
task with rare ability and well di-
rected energy, the value of his SER
vices will be augmented, by permit
ting him to devote his time to fores-
try work proper and freeing him
from the details of homestead con-
tests and affairs of a like nature
which are of frequent occurance in
the southern part of the Black Hills
forest. Matters of this nature have
been disposed Of in the northern sec
ton and when the proposed divis-
ion is in effect after July 1st, Mr..
Kelleter will be able to attack with
greater energy and more concentra-
ton the problems which pertain
strictly to the conservation of the
northern Black Hills forest.

CROPS SUFFERING
WASTING WATER

Jake Thompson one time Home
stake miner and baseball promoter,
who is now living on an Irrigated"
farm near Vale, was in town yester-
day and reports that wheat, oats and
other crops in his neighborhood are
looking nightly sickly and yellow for
lack of rain. Jake's farm is under
the ditch, but the red-tape officials
having control of the water have re-
Gently made a ruling to the effect
that before water is turned into any
ranchr's ditch the rancher must pay
55c for every acre to be irrigated.
Many Of the farmers are unable to
pay this advance water rent and
many who could pay refuse to do 30,
basing their refusal on the fact that
they were given to understand when
they filed on their lands that no ad-
vance payments would be required
for the first year. They all agreed
to pay $3.50 per acre for ten years,
to reimburse the federal government
for the money expended on the irri-
cation project, but they claim to
have had specific verbal understand
ing that no money was to be requir-
ed the first year.
The government officials, however,
are obdurate and water that is badly
need to save the crops Of farmers
is being allowed to flow down the
river to assist in swelling the big
streams that will further down the
slope wash out railroad tracks and
carry away farms that do not need
irrigation.
This action on the part of the gov
ernment officials is being severely
condemned by most of the ranchers
and farmers in the Vale district, but
la few who haven't the backbone to
stand out for their rights have paid
the 55c per acre and some of these
will have good crops, rain or no
rain. There are a few of these,
however, who know so little about
irrigation that they are drowning
their crops with too much water.

WILL START TAKING
OUT WATER THIS WEEK

President Robert Bunce of the
Black Hills Development and Finan-
cial corporation announces that the
work Of unwatering the shaft on the
Seabury-Calkins ground in the Car
Donate camp will commence this
week. He expects to go over to the
camp today to arrange certain de-
tails Of the work. 1t is thought the
job can be accomplished within a
week or ten days, after which the
lower workings will be given a thor
ough prospecting.
A two hundred gallon skip will be
used for raising the water, after
which the mine will be kept dry with
little difficulty, by means Of one Of
the several pumps, installed on the
different levels. They also have a
sinking pump, which is said to be
capable Of handling the water, In
case the station pumps, which have
been under water some years, re-
quire repairing.
The shaft is 240 feet deep and it is
the intention to unwater it to the
bottom. The Seabury-Calkins, prop
erty itself, should not contain a very
great amount of water, as there has
not been done any extensive under
ground development, but it is not
certain that the lower workings are
not connected with the Iron Hill
mine, in which case the unwatering
would be much more serious prop
osition.

SAD PARTING.

Sturgis Standard: One of the
saddest affairs that has been in Fort
Meade for some time was last Sun
day evening when troop 81" formed
in front Of the hospital to pay their
last respects to their dead comrade,
Benjamin Fourtney. At six o'clock
the troop presented arms while the
post ambulance carrying the remains
of Fourtney started for the depot
with the 4th cavalry band playing a
funeral march. "I' troop then drop
ped into the procession and the sad
march was begun. No one knows
the grief that 81" troop has been
plunged into over the affair, because
every man was his friend, and will
miss him greatly. 1t Is hard to think
that only few days ago he was with
us and in good health, and now he is
on his way to his old Illinois home,
corpse, where poor old gray hair
ed mother waits his coming. 81"
troop wishes to thank those who
helped them in this sad affair. Ser
geants e. Pettis and Walter Slegal
accompanied the remains to Illinois.
No clue has been found to the
shooting Of Fourtney as yet. 1t is
hoped there will be developments in
the near future.

Thermopolis, Wyo., reports that he
saw in that place Foote, the man
who escaped" from the Lead city

member of the police force and told
to get out of town. The window In
the rear of the building, he says,
was broken to make it appear that he
had broken out. The Registers in
formant states that Foote appears to
be we'll supplied with money and
that he intends to remain at Their

ENCOURAGING PROSPECTS
IN THE MALONEY LEASE

The Deadwood stockholders in the
r. M. Maloney lease on the Atlanta
ground in the Goldfield, New, district
are feeling much encouraged by the
reports which Mr.. Maloney brings of
the progress of the work. He, him
self, is satisfid beyond all reasonable
doubt, that they are now but a short
distance from the vein to the open
ing of which his efforts have been
directed for the past two years.
They are working under adverse
conditions, owing to bad air and high
temperature in the mine, and If it
were not for the fact most of those
who are engaged in the actual work
are personally interested in the COM
pany, it would be next to impos-
sible to secure labor. The men them
selves, however, have such confidence
in the ultimate success of the opera
tions, that they are making great
sacrifices in the way of personal COM
fort, to attain the object which they
are bent. The fact that the drilling
is all done by hand, the company not
being supplied with a compressor
and air drills, deprives them of a
means of securing good air in the
workings, which are now a consid-
cradle distance from the main shaft.
They are working on the CTS level
in drift which has been run 25O
feet and is headed for a point at
which they have every reason to be-
lieve they will encounter rich
shoot Of ore. The vein towards which
they are heading, should cross the
Maloney lease near the southwest
corner and is probably about $50
feet from the present face of the
workings. This ledge, which has
been opened up on adjoining prop
erty, is an extension of the great
Jumbo deposit, from which millions
in gold have been taken. Close to
the Maloney lease line, it has been
opened up on the Florence ground,
at the bottom of a 200 foot shaft
and at point ten feet from the Ma
loney line. AS it is known to be
headed directly towards the south
west corner of the Maloney lease, it
seems certain that it will be struck
In the latter ground within $50 feet
from the face of the present work
ings. At the present rate of prog
ress, they should be in the ore dur
ing the ensuing summer.
The miners of Goldfeld, who are
best acquainted with conditions in
the Maloney property, are unani-
nous In their opinion that 1t is one
OF the coming certain producers OF
the camp and will not be surprised
when the announcement is made that
the famous Jumbo and Florence vein
has been encountered in the Atlanta
ground.
