strong Endorsements of the Black
Hills Development and Financial
Corporation.

The two articles which have ap-
peared in this paper concerning the
Black Hills Development and Finan-
cial Corporation, have told of it's or
ganization and plans; how a total of
8 100000 will buy and develop
forty mines, in the best camps in the
Black Hills under English methods.
The last article gave a brief descrip-
zion of some of the mines.
So many excellent endorsements
have been given the Bunce company
locality, in the Black Hills where it
is best known, that some of them will
be printed in this article.
The First National bank of Dead
wood has bought $4,000 worth of
the stock, which is now included in
its assets. That speaks for itself as
an endorsement of the Bunce plan.
Mr.. D. A. Mcpherson, cashier of the
bank, is treasurer of the company.
In a letter written to the secretary,
Mr.. Mcpherson say,-"We do not
make a habit of endorsing ordinary
milling promotions, but this one, af-
ter a thorough study of it's features,
commends itself to our judgment as
thoroughly sound in principle"
Each of the five directors of the
Black Hills Trust and Savings bank,
of Deadwood, purchased a good block
! of the stock. The Vice-president of
the bank gave the following endorse
ment: THE Black Hills Develop
mennt and Financial Corporation has
secured a large number of the most
promising properties In this section.
We approve of their plan and be-
Ilieve those who invest in their stock
will eve have any occasion to re-
lgret it. We would advise any one
looking for an investment to careful
ly consider this proposition"
The cashier of the Mines and Mer-

dorses the company with these
words: 'The writershas studied the

ing in the afternoon. He vas form
erly pastor of the church here, SO

of Woonsocket. Presiding Elder Dob
son had charge of the evening service
and gave a very entertaining sermon.
Owing to the opera house being en-
gagged for the Lion and the Mouse
show on Tuesday night, the business
mems meeting called for that date
has been postponed till Thursday,
March "a. 1t is desired that every
body turn out to that meeting as
there will be subjects before the peo-
pie for discussion of vital Importance,
SO don't forget the date.
A fine musical entertainment will
be given at the M. E. church tonight

an expert on the mandolin and guitar.

tions have come from every source
in the Black Hills. A travelling man.
residing in Chicago, heard of the
company, and sent in his check for
$4,000. The president of one of the
prosperous colleges in Eastern South
Dakota, after personally investigating
through friends, sem his application
for a good block of the stock. A
milliner of Deadwood first bought
stock herself, sold the clerks some,
then two school teacher friends, and
later she secured good subscriptions
IRON her business associates in Chi
cago.
The Bunce company hasn't a
knocker in the Black Hills. Every
one is supporting it.
There are seven directors in the
company, three in the Black Hills,
known as the business directors, and
three in the east who will serve as
the financial directors, and Mr.. Bunce
is the seventh. The three business
directors are Geo. v. Ayres, of Dead
wood, one Of the most successful
business men in South Dakota, and
known throughout the state for his
prominent lodge work; Hon. Ernest
May, Of Lead, prominent in business
and mining affairs, who served as
state senator in the last two sessions
of the Legislature, and Hon. John
Wolzmuth, Of Spearfish, who served
the two last terms as state represen-
tative. These three men, with Mr..
Bunce. will be responsible for the
handling of the affairs of this new
mining company. The three financial
directors will be chosen from promi-
nent f%inanciers in the east.
The Bunce plan is now being work
ed by eighteen Of the largest mining
corporations in London. One of these
has sixty-four mines in successful OPP
Grafton and its $500 shares are now
worth $4,000 0 Another Of the Lon
don company's $500 stock is quoted
at thirty time its par value. The
Bunce company has a better chance
of making its stock worth many
times its par value, because all Of
its mines are in one territy and can
be operated through one manage
ment, which is not the case with the
London companies. One Of the bust
ness directors Of the Bunce company,
whose word in the Black Hills Is as
good as gold. predicts that the Bunce
stock will be worth $4,000 per share
in five years, and that an investment
OF $4,000 will keep q person for life.
No stock will be sold after April
first for less than $500 per share.
Applications for the one dollar stock
must be In the hands Of the Secretary,

In selecting mares from which to

weighs over that will add at least 25
cents I'd his value.
Judging Draft Horses.
After size the next point to consid-

be wide. deep and massive. She
should be fairly low set, but not so
