that when he recovered himself he
found Humphreys pointing revolver
at him.
Mr.. Cochran had two of his clerks
take positions on the steps leading to
the witness stand in Judge O'Sull1.
vans court to illustrate his idea of the
shooting.
The evidence showed that both me-
groes were attentive to Mrs. Maria 10,
sephs and that jealousy existed be-
tween them.
Mr.. Cochran began his address to
the jury by reminding the jurors that
with one exception they had said
they were not prejudiced against a
negro.
I'VE accepted this one man with an
ayowed prejudice" seid Mr.. Cochran,
because we believed he was honest in
his avowals that he would be fair in
any case.
"But / am sure that you all feel
prejudice against negro. / feel
the same prejudice myself. l once

private baths. l started to take

not. It was prejudice that could not

such prejudice can be avoided"

Goals have a wide distribution in
Alaska, and some of them will have
great value to local industries.
Peat is very widely distributed in
Alaska, having been found in nearly
every part of the territory. The eli
matte conditions, as we'll as those Of
plant life, in the central and north
ern part of the territory, seem espe-
cially favorable for the accumulation
of peat. Everywhere the soil is clothed
with a dense growth of moss and
other small plants, and the frozen con-
dition of the subsoil and the short
ness of the summer season prevent
decay.
Alaska contains a large variety of
mineral deposits, and these, especially
gold and coal, are widely distributed.
The auriferous gravels are scattered
over a very large area, but much of 1t
is unprospected. There are some
large auriferous lode mines in south.
eastern Alaska and promising lode
prospects in other parts of the terri
tory.
Copper mining has been done in two
widely separated coastal districts.
Very promising deposits of copper ore
occur in two inland belts which are
undeveloped because they are not yet
accessible by rail, and copper pros.
poets have been found elsewhere in
the territory.
Tin, marble. gypsum and petroleum
have been produced from Alaskan de-
posits; iron and other minerals prob
ably have future commercial value.
Mining began about 1880 and pro
crossed slowly for nearly two decades
since which advancement has been
very rapid. Much of the Pacific sea-
board, with it's cheap transportation
strong relief, abundant water power
and timber, and equable climate, Is
most favorable to low costs of mi
ming. These conditions have resulted
in the development of one of the
largest low grade gold mining enter
prises in the world, as we'll as some
others of considerable magnitude
They have also favored the success
full exploitation of comparatively low
grade copper ores, even at the low
market value of the metal during the
past year.
Though placer mining has beer
carried on in Alaska for nearly 81
years, it has been chiefly by the crude
methods Of the pioneer that more thar
s10O,O0O,OO0 worth of gold has beer
won from the auriferous gravels. The
modern epoch of placer mining, witt
labor saving machinery, has only JUS
begun, and the field in which sucf
methods are used Is capable OF mucf
expansion. Though the future dis
covery of bonanzas, such as have
made Alaska famous in the past, can
not be predicted, it is certain tina
the possibilities of new finds are ia
from being exhausted, and that ther,
are hundreds of creeks known to b,

commercial quantities when mean
are found to reduce the present cos
of operation.
The inland copper districts avail
the railway transportation, which will
not only lead to the development o
known deposits, but also stimulate
further search for ore bodies. Sucl
developments of a lode mining indus

ulation-at present Alaska's creates

tenth annual review of the pro-
gress of South Dakota. He says:
Perhaps the most striking
feature of the year 1910 in South
Dakota was the rather unusual
weather conditions. The year
opened with moderately cold
weather with considerable snow
and these conditions continued un-
til the latter part of February,
when the snow disappeared and

fifty days. Most of the seeding

when on the 11th of April, : hard

IS MURDER CONDONEO?
People in Black Hills Not Satisfied
With Ending Of Recent MUIR
der Trials

Deadwood.- is murder to be
condoned in the Black Hills7 This
seems like startling suggestion
but it is question upon the lips
of many people in the Hills since
the acquittal of Oscar Jacobs who
was tried at Sturgis for the second
time, for the killing of Elba
Roberts there a year and a half
ago. There is no disposition to
find fault or to criticize, but the
fact that within the past six
months six murder trials have oc-
Cured in and around the Black
Hills, in only one of which, the
Jacobs case, was the evidence cir
cumstantial, and yet there has been
but one conviction. Of these cases,
two were at Sturgis, one at Dead
wood, one at Rapid City, one at
Belle Fourche and one at Sun
dance, Wyo.
At Sundance, Mrs. White was
tried for the murder of her hus-
band as he slept beside her and al
though the evidence was strongly
against her, she went free. At
Rapid City, Otto Frier killed Chas.
Rodell, his employer, alleging self
defense, and was acquitted. At
Deadwood, Mrs. jeanette Todd, a
a young colored woman, escaped
any penalty for Staying her hus-
band, Jerry Todd, apparently
through jealousy.
At Sturgis, Mrs. Nellie Nc
Mahon shot and killed lawyer
David p. Thomas but the jury
made her a free woman while
Oscar Jacobs. who was charged
with killing his sweetheart because
she spurned him, in which case the
evidence was circumstantial, got
an acquittal. But at Belle Fourche
Almer E. Stumbaugh, a wealthy
rancher, met different fate as the
jury convicted him of shooting
Louis Arpan and he was sentenced
to 10 years in the penitentiary and
has now appealed his case to the
supreme court.
While there is far from unanimi-
ty of opinion on any of these cases,
the number of acquittals has caused
widespread comment throughout
the Hills.

Under the new census South

approved the plan presented by
Representative Martin for divid-

districts, wherein the eastern part
of the state would have two dis
tricts with the division line rum
ming east from the south line of

portion west of the Missouri would
comprise one district. This would
give the most equitable representa-
ton for all parts of the state that

Down in a section of Stanley

This is not meeting to practice
profanity as might be inferred
from the name but is merely the
gathering of the settlers with their

also their families, at the home of

followed with pleasure and profit
