new GOLD FIND
MADE IN HILLS
GROUND NEAR DEADWOOD SHOWS GOLD
VALUES TO THE TON OF FROM
EIGHT TO TWENTY DOLLARS

Deadwood, S. D.-A new strike
has just been made on the ground
of the Evans Consolidated Mining
company, in Spruce gulch, half
mile east of town, where a fine
body of porphyry ore has been en-
countered in cross-cut tunnel.
Assays show value of So a ton
gold, and in some places as high
as $40.
Shipments from the Columbia
mine, near Keystone, are showing
excellent conditions on this prop
erty. Some of the ore went $3.50
a ton, all of it being high-grade
material.
The vein for which he has been
working has been struck by John
Gierde on his Spring creek proper
ty. 1t was assayed from several
points, the lowest showing $3.50 in
gold and also carrying values in
silver and lead.
A sale Of the property of the
Black Hills Development & Finan-
cial corporation to Colorado men
has just been made by R. Bunce.
The properties include the Iron
Hill, Home Run, Segregated, Cal
kins and others.
During recent visit to New
York and Philadelphia. N. E.
Franklin and Henry Schnitzel Of
the Golden Reward Mining COM
pany made arrangements to install
a roasting plant and later new
cyanide mill for the company here
This is necessitated by the finding
of the large ore body in the Bale
mountain district, which contain:
iron sulphides that require roasting
before other treatment.
Ore similar to that found in the
Homestake is being opened on the
ground of the Leo Mining com
pany by August Peterson of Dead
wood, and Nele Peterson of New
York. They are prosecuting the
ledge from a tunnel that was driv-
en- 400 feet and have gone through
four feet OF good ore, with $50 feet
to reach the point sought.
English capitalists are expected
to have examinations made shortly
of the property of the linton Min
ing compano, near linton. and OF
the Callahan ground near by. The
linton has been operated for some
years by Chicago capital, develop
ing some good tid-bearing lodges.
Operations have been recon-
menced by the Victoria Extension
Mining company on Squaw Creek,
under Albert Maltener. The COM
pany is controlled by M. B. Car
penter of St. Paul, and officials Of
the Burlington railroad at Omaha.

INsuRING VALUABLE MEN
Large Concerns Now Take Out Poll
eIes on the Lives Of Their High
Grade Employees.

Insuring valuable men in corpo-
rations and manufacturing concerns
is the latest form of insurance. In
the textile industry, for example,
this plan is being tried in the case
of officials and employees whose tech
nical knowledge is Of high order.
In a New York state mill the life of
man recently engaged under con-
tract for term of years to take
charge of manufacturing depart
ments has been insured by the pro-
prietors for $4,000, running the
length of time the contract is in
force. Several insurance companies
are engaged in this line Of business.
and it is probable that before long
the custom will be as common to in.
sure the lives Of competent men as
1t is to insure property against loss
by fire. 1t is said the system en-.
courages contract positions for men
of value and that the idea is as feas.
ible as that of insuring the honesty
of officials by surety companies

REASON WOMEN WEAR OUT
Through Mistaken Idea Of Duty She
Works on With Rare Periods
Of Relaxation.

Why do some women grow old
and others keep the secret Of perpet-
ual youth? Here Is one answer:
One reason why the average wom-
an wears out, grows plain before her
husband, is that, through a mistaken
idea Of duty, she lays out for herself
at the beginning of her married life
a scheme or plan Of duty and en-
ployment for her time, every hour
filled with work, with rare and short
periods Of relaxation.
This she follows religiously fct
years, feeling that she has done her
duty, because every household event
occurs regularly and on time, while
she soon becomes merely a machine,
a thing without life of itself or vo-
lition. She settles into a rut and
goes round and round on the same
track everlastingly.
Can any woman keep brightness,
originality Of thought or speech, or
even mere prettiness with such q
life? And without those things
how can she keep her husband and
growing children full of loving adj
miration, which is the strong chain
by which she can bind them to her?

INDIANS HOLD A
CHURCH SESSION
GATHERING OF RED men NOW
BEING HELD AT ROSEBUD,
SOUTH DAKOTA.

/ Mitchell. S. D.-What is con
coded to be the greatest Indian re-
ligious gathering of the year held in
this state is now taking place near
Rosebud, S. D. 1t is the assembly
of the Indians who are associated
with the Congregational and Pres
byterian churches of the Sisseton,
Pine Ridge, Sioux and Cheyenne
agencies. Those within riding
distance made the trip by horse.
From the more remote, parts of
the state the Indians were trans
ported by rail.
1t is estimated that at least 5000
Indians. are in attendance from
North and South Dakota, Nebras-
ka and Montana. A year ago a
financial fund was started and more
than ST 900 has been subscribed to
help pay the expenses. twill take
seventy-fve head of cattle to solve
the meat question the four days.
The Indians will kill the cattle on
the ground.
The services are being held in a
large circus tent in charge of DR..
J. P. Williamson of Greenwood.
and DR.. A. R. Riggs of Santee
agency. The fathers of these two
men were the first missionaries
among the Indians in this section.
The program opened Wednesday
afternoon with a reception of dele
gates. The session sermon was
preached at 4 p. IN. by Rev. Fran
els Frazier, followed by the cleo
ton of officers.
At 2 p. m. today will be held
the conference of the Presbyterian
Indians and that of the Congrega-
tional association, which will meet
in two separate bodies. An hour
later the women of the two church
es will meet to make their cash
contributions for missionary work.
Last year they gave ST 900 for for
eign missionary work, and it is
money they earn themselves. The
Indian woman earns her money by
making bead work and then travel
ing over the state to sell it.
Sunday morning the Christian
Endeavor society will assemble,
bringing hundreds of the younger
Indians into the work. Rev. John
Eastman will preach the sermon of
the day and the communion SER
vice will be observed. The fare

we may have outgrown them. Certain-
ly. there would be less danger of di
vorces were that the standard of the
homes throughout civilization today.
There are modest Marys in the lowliest
homes who reign queens over hus-
bands and children today, where no
divorce, is ever allowed to enter. and
when the doctrine of the young queen
of Britain is as widely spread in So
called society as 1t is in humber homes
of working people, such an edict as
she recently issued will be unneces-
sary. Probably Queen Mary realizes
that the greatest builder of social evil
and supporter of divorce courts. lies
in the fact that so-called society peo-
pie have little else to do than to dis
cover new mischief,
In the days of Livia, no one at
Rome was astonished. especially in
the upper classes. that she should oe-
cupy herself actively in politics; that
Augustus should frequently come to
her for council-but in these days the
chief duties of royalty lie in the regu-
lation of social functions and the af-
fairs of the nation are arranged and
cared for by a body provided for that
purpose which the king knows little
of farther than to affix his signature
of ratification.
Livia was a living example of all
the virtues which the Romans most
cherished. but in these days the most
striking examples of women who en-
body those qualities are found outside
of the so-called royal society, and 1T
seems high time that strong and
courageous personality should come to
the front to set better example to
the people of Europe that our Ameri-
can society monkeys may find better
lead in aping the mannerisms and
foibles of royal courts.

Is Paralysis Durable?

A Young medical practitioner DR..
Alfred ]. Fox. is said to have perform
ed a remarkable feat through hyp-
lnotism and mental suggestion alone.
| 1t is claimed that by this means a
giant paralytic. who had been practi-
cally bedridden for three years, and
who had been placed upon an operat-
Il ing table at ST. Marks hospital. New
York. arose from it while in trance
and, obeying every command of DR..
Fox, walked slowly around the room.
This patient. big Dane named Mel
chior Luysterborg, against attempted
to walk when he had been restored to
consciousness. and his first remark
was Il want to walk The disease
which brought him to the hospital is
called incurable. infantile paralysis,
and was contracted by LuysterbOrg
after suffering from chils and fever,
followed by delrium. three years ago.
Dr. Fox again put the Dane into a
trance. and while under this influence,
supervised gymnastics tending to
strengthen and render flexible the
muscles over which Luysterborg for
merry had no power.
What greater proof could any one
have that THE WILL is the most
powerful attribute possessed by man?
Who will solve the riddle that a man,
whose weakened will renders him tenn
porarily paralyzed through sickness or
worry, or whatever the predominant
cause may be. is still able to walk,
while unconscious. in an effort to obey
another's will when exercised by one
in whom he has confidence. and whom
he feels he can trust? 1t would seem
strong scientific men of today will be
on the road to acquiring such power as
the Saviour exercised when he COM
manded the paralytic of olden days to
arise and walk.
While it may be impossible for hyp-
notism to restore to the paralytic the
faculty of locomotion because the very
functions that hypnotism acts upon
are destroyed. DIR. Fox apparently is
convinced that the patient is never
as bad as he thinks he is; that the APP
parent paralysis is always worse than
the LESSONS would seem to produce.
that the patient REFUSES TO APP
PLY HIS WILL.
Acting upon self delusion, this sue
cessful demonstration of a compare
lively new science performs Twentieth
Century miracles. DR.. Fox attempts
to stimulate moribund tissue from the

substitutes mental suggestion for the
electrical treatment that is applied ex-
ternally. He gets at the base of
hysteria by substituting his own will

self -delusion. who win not exercise the
will power with which he has been en-
lowed

FOR SOLDIERS GRAVES.
10000 Markers Already Provided
by the Government.

The United States government has
provided 100000 markers for the
graves of soldiers. From two marble
quarries, one at Lee. Mass, and one
at Rutland, VT, all these tombstones
have been taken. Lee has furnished
300. 900 markers in the last thirty
five years and is turning out grave
stones at the rate of 10000 "a year.
Each marker is three feet long, one
foot wide and four inches thick, and
weighs 200 pounds. Just under the
rounded top is outlined an inlaid
shield and within this is cut the name.
age, company, rank and regiment of
the soldier, sailor or marine whose
grave it is to mark.
From two quarry pits at Lee these
stones are taken. On the grounds at
the quarry they are cut, polished,
marked and Grated for shipment to a

block of marble three by three
feet is the average size used for head
stones. It is run into the mill on a
short truck and fastened under a gang
of saws which slowly descend with a
swinging motion and cut through it..
Then the block is rolled out. t6hained
together, turned over and sent through
the same process again. The saws
are simple bands of iron an eighth of
an inch thick and the cutting is done
by sand which is we'll wet and kept
dripping on the work.
The next process is coping or
rounding one end of the marker and
smoothing it by grinding by sand and
water on revolving iron table Then
the marker is ready for lettering or
numbering.
