UNlONISTS LEAVING
HOMESTAkE PROPERTIES

Deadwood, S. D., Feb. 9.-The Home
stake management continues to make
satisfactory progress with Is resump-
ton n now has two mills and two
hoists with nearly 500 stamps in con
slant operation.
Miners and shovelers are being daily
imported from Missouri and Colorado
and put to work as fast as they arrive.
The company hopes within another 80
days to be running almost full ca
pacity. 1t has SO far experienced no
trouble with the union men who are
locked out.
Although no announcement as to
their policy has been made by the 9TH
er companies who signed the non-union
agreement. It is generally understood
that no attempt to resume will be
made until the Homestake company is
running In good shape. Many union
men are leaving the Hills rather than
sign as non-union.

MAKES PROFIT or $4,000
IN XEAR AND ONE.AAl

Centerville, S. D., Feb. AVN. Nc.
Cain, living south of Beresford. in
Union county. sold his 400-acre farm
about Is months ago for $40 per acre,
or $4,000. He bought 1850 acres five
miles from Miller, in Hand county, for
$50 per acre, or SAG, 260. He sold 500
acres for $40, per acre and last week
sold the balance, $50 acres, for $50 per
acre, making a net profit Of &c. 900. His
profit in crops and stock sold was about
$4,000, making a total net profit Of
$4,000 on the deal. That a. man can
increase his fortune Of S2S, 600 to s4S, 900
in South Dakota land In Is months
seems almost preposterous to an east
ern man, but similar deals are fire,
~quently being recorded in this state.

the same distance down stream, In a
similar bend with a swing of nearly 80
miles, doubling back to within 5000
feet, with a fall of 81 feet 6 inches.
These two points by cuts across the
