vision

Deadwood-On July 1 the Black
Hills National forest, the largest for
est reserve in the country today, will
be divided into two units, the new for
est consisting of the southern por-
tons of the present one. Word to this
effect has been received from Wash
ington by Supervisor Kelletter. The
plan has been under consideration for
some time. Besides being the larg-
est forest in the United States, the
Black Hills national forest is ranked
as the most important in the matter
OF business transactions and contains
100000 acres. The nature OF the
work on hand has become such thai
the forest was unwieldy and it was
found the only practical way was to
divide. Accordingly new forest is to
be established by drawing a line east
and west through the present forest
just south of Redfern in Pennington
county, making the two forests almost
equal in size. The southern forest
will establish headquarters at Custer,
with R. P. lines, formerly with the
local headquarters and now in the
district forester's Office at Ogden, Utah,
as the new supervisor. The head
quarters for the northern forest will
remain in Deadwood under SUPERVISOR
Kelleter and it is understood that the
establishment of the new forest will
not effect the local forest officials ex
cept to increase their efficiency by re-
lieving them of much homestead con-
test work that is frequent in the south
ern Hills.

Hydraulic company, with headquarters
in Denver, has contracted for dredge
and is putting in a spur from Mystic
to the placer ground. The company is
amply provided with funds and ex-
poets to accomplish considerable nv
draulic dredging during the summer.
The superintendent is Howard Evans
of Denver, nephew of VIM. e. Evans,
the Denver Tramway magnate and it
is reported that the latter and some
of his friends are financing the
