Lost Team and Wagon

Hot Springs, Sept. 1.-The
team, wagon and every earthly
possession of John Lavery a
prairie schooner emigrant, were
lost in the Cheyenne river yes
terday at the Sleeve crossing. a
few miles east of this city. Lavery
came through Hot Springs on his
way to Nebraska. He had been
ON a ranch some distance west
of here, but deserted it and had
all his effects with him. The
river was high and he drove some
loose horses into the water to see
where the best ford was. While
he was at distance his team
followed the horses across the
stream. One Of his animals start
ed to float and in the entangle-
ment which followed both horses
were drowned and the wagon Ov.
er turned and broken to pieces
with all it contained.

CAPTURES MOUNTAIN SHEEP
Cheyenne Rancher has Twelve
Corralled on His Range

Jimmey Reynolds, who has
sheep ranch between the mouths
Of Spring creek and Battle creek
on the Cheyenne river, has dis
proved the oft repeated assertion
that mountain sheep are extinct
in the Bad Lands; he has twelve
Of these game animals after which
Dr. Gilbert and Tom Roush are
going to Wyoming to hunt, safe
ly corraled on his ranch.
Reynolds captured the herd
under novel circumstances. He
was out looking for his own shccI
one day, when he noticed near
the river some sheep which
in no way resembled any of the
breeds of which his flock are
composed. Close inspection con
vinced him that the animals were
mountain sheep. That he was
surprised states it mildly, for
neither he nor any one else has
heard Of mountain sheep in the
Bad Lands for many years.
AS the sheep were between
aim and the Cheyenne river Rey-
noIds approached them; fright
encd they started towards the
river, crossed it, and took refuge
among flock of his domestic
animals, grazing on the other
bank. Reynolds then drove the
whole flock including the noun
tain sheep into IA corral and Sc
cured the latter alive. After
wards he separated the mountain
sheep from the dOmesticated and
confined them. When registra-
ton time comes he expects to br-
ing them to Rapid City and ex-
hibit them. Among the sheep
is an old ram whose horns are
said to be perfect specimens.
The presence Of the sheep in
the lowlands is accounted for by
the drouth which drove them out
of the Bad Lands to seek water.

WOULD HARNESS BIG MUDDY
Pierre Men Boost Mammoth Ir-
rigation Project

Pierre, Aug. 31.-A mammoth
irrigation project, equaling III
size amy in the United States, de-
signed to include all of Sully
county and Hughes county north
Of Medicine creek, embracing 50
townships and $4,000 acres, was
presented to citizens meeting
last evening by a committee con-
sisting OF Doane Robinson ana
T. G. Warren. The scheme con
templates two parts, the first pro-
noses the development OF a glgan-
tic water power ON the Missouri
at Little Bend, 25 miles north OF
this city, where by cNcavatlng 1or
y distance of $500 yards fall
of 16.2 feet can be secured,Whlch
with the use of the Missouri s 6',-
600 900 cubic feet per minute
flowage i'll low water, would pro-
duce $4,000 horse power, when
could be increased III hlgher
stages to 100000 horse power.
The second part Of the plan pur-
noses to transmit part OF TINS
power to pumps, to be located
neor the north line of Sully cOun-
tv, from where water Will be lll'-
ed TO a great reservoir at tile
head Of Okoboji creek, and III
lake beds along the ridge pe-
tween Okoboji and Meolclile
creeks. 1t is estimated that Tic
whole proposition can be develop
ed for from 5000, 900 to So,OOo,-
600. The amount OF water re-
moved from the Missouri would
make no apprcciable difference
in it's flow. The pumping colllo
Use but a part Of the power, leaV-
mo a large amount for the deVel-
onmcut Of industries, and OF 9th
er irrigation projects within the
range of transmission OF the pow
-. Tho creation of this project
would bring a dense population
to the immediate vicinity Oh
Pierre. and would solve all tlh
present problems of populatlon'
railroads, etc. The committee mas
developed the idea to a point
where the great construction flrm
of Westinghouse, Church, herf
& Company is ready to make a
preliminary reconnaissance for a
very reasonable sum. Steps have
beeu taken to raise the money
for the preliminary work. 1t IS
probable that it will be necessary
to secure "a special act Of congress
for the construction OF dam ana
locks at Little Bend.
The success of the Little Bend
proposition would insure that ul-
timately the vastly larger power
at Big Bend would likewise be
.harnessed. No proposition ad-
yanced within late years has
meant SO much for Pierre and
the development of South Da-
kOta.

ear Ore Fields.
Up to 1884 there was scarcely a
suspicion of gold in the Transvaal,
and the country was regarded as a
barren land, lacking in all tho re-
sources which attract colonization,
says the Sheffield Telegraph. But
in the year mentioned a man named
Arnold told a farmer named Gel
denhuis that there was gold on his
land. Geldenhuis did not believe
it, but repeated the gossip and sold
his farm to two adventurous broth
ers named Struben, who put up
mill and began to work the grayish
powdery dirt that has since proved
the richest gold ore the earth has
ever shown. The Boer government
proclaimed nine farms public gold
fields.
Then the rush began. The Beers,
always slow where enterprise wins
out, we're unbelieving. They could
not make up their minds to aban-
don the certainty Of cowpunching
for the uncertainty Of mining, even
with rich claims crying for takers.
A few settled on the Witvatersrand
and went to work.
Meantime the news of the find
spread over the borders into Eng
lish territory. The word made a
sensation in Cape Town, and a
horde of adventures at once set
out. The news reached London
and started the adventurers there.
Within a year nearly every working
claim was under the spade, and
nearly all were in English hands.
The Beers, on the spot, had made
up their minds too late.

was found in a formation seen no
where else in the world. Regular
beds, or @reefs" of dry powdery
conglomerate, in thickness from
two to twenty feet, are found
throughout this district. This
black veldt is the ore. Nowhere
else on earth is gold mined and
worked so easily or so cheaply.
