Surveys Not RIGHT.

Plerre.-The people of the north
western part of the state are begin
ming to make complaint as to the gov
eminent contract surveys in that sec
ton. When the land was surveyed it
was not considered to be very valua-
Bile, and the same care was not used
as might be in older sections, as
result claims are made that one
settler gets more than his 100 acres,
while another gets less. In fact the
survey work on public lands, all by
contract, appears to have been unsat-
lsfactory. The last legislative SEES
sion provided by legislation for resur-
veys for the purpose of taxation, to
charge against man the taxes for
the acreage ne really OWLS instead OF
16O acres or quarter section" as there
Is considerable range in many of them.
1t is alleged that in some of the early
surveys in the territory the work was
done by tying a rag to a spoke in
wagon wheel, and the necessary revo-
lutions counted for distance, while an
other man with a transit kept course"
as a third drove according to his in
structions. The Indians on Grow Creek
reservation say the work was done on
that reserve in the winter, and the
section corners We're built of snow by
the thrifty contractors. While this
may or may not be true, it carries
some evidence of fact for the reason
that the whites who have made pur-
chases claim there is positively moth
ing to be found to in any way mark
many corners on that tract, and if the
marks were not made Of snow, they
were but little more substantial, as
they have disappeared and cannot be
located by any surveyor.

Rapid City.-To pluck a girl from

her from the back of the horse while
it was still running, after which h.

PLUM PUDDING is COMPLEX
American Investigator Describes. Fa-
NOUS Dessert as Mixture of Fruit,
Fluids and Spices.

London.-"A smoking, aromatic.
complex compound of fruits and fluids,
nuts and Spices" is the definition of
plum pudding given by an American
commercial agent in a report to head
quarters.
English plum pudding, says ]. M
Carson. the United States government
agent in question, remains, unlike the
roast beef Of old England, distinct
ly English product. and promises to
become Of sufficient Importance in the
foreign trade Of the kingdom as to
be specifically named in official re-
ports.
The national confection," goes on
this American Investigator, still oc-
cupies the personal attention of the
thoughtful housewife, but not to the
extent of former years, because sci
ence has intruded upon the domestic
economies and ingenious mechanism
has displaced the dough trough and
other kitchen utensils that used to be
essential.
The manufacture of plum pudding
-Wnlcn, by the way, contains no
plums-is an infant industry of much
promise. 1t is mainly confined to
London, and is carried on by ali the
principal bakeries, delicatessen and
other establishments.
The industry was given great
boom by the Boer war Thousands
of pounds of plum pudding were sent
out, but the demand was far in excess
of the supply.
The extent and magnitude of the
trade today may be inferred from fig
ures furnished by one of the several
large manufacturers. The firm, in or

LEAVING 1T TO THE GUIDE
Bishop Didn't Have Language Equal to
the Occasion When the Trout
Escaped.

The bishop was an angler and was
keen on trout fishing Early in the
season, If not the opening day, he re-
sponded to the lure of the ripping
brook. AS he crept softly through the
elder thicket that bordered the
stream he had the good fortune to
hook trout that put up stormy
fight. Evidently the fish had no mind
to grace the creel of even an apostolic
expert.
The guide held his breath. It was
not possible for him to get near
enough through the brush to help the
bishop and the enemy. He could only
watch the fight and hope for the best.
The struggle eliminated in a swift
jerk that landed the dripping old war
rior up in the branches of a maple
which lowered above the alders-not
an unusual experience for an angler,
but the first of the kind that had fall
en- to the lot OF the bishop. Well-he
was always seeking experience and
now he had it. This, however, was
different from casting and the result
was dire. The line snapped, the bril-
liant and dashing Fontinalis dropped
back into the brook and with an In
solent wave Of his tail said as plainly
as words, by, by, old boy"
The bishop and guide locked at each

Discovered Again In Heart Of
San Andrea. Mountains.

Bishop, Cal-Prospectors through
out the southern camps of Arizona,
New Mexico and Old Mexico tell Of
the Lost Padre mine, from which the
mission fathers of Spain, more than
200 years ago, mined quantities of rich
silver ore with which they enriched
the Golfers of their church, sending
shipment after shipment of silver by
way of Vera Cruz back to their native
country. Legend had this mine locat-
ed in various places. in New Mexico.
In Arizona and in Old Mexico; but the
best authenticated stories fixed the To-
cation of this long-lost mine some
where in the southeastern part of
New Mexico, and it was there where a
cowboy, on long chase after a
wounded buck, discovered the ancient
workings IL years ago.
In the very heart of the San An
dreas mountains this cowboy came
upon abandoned workings, which upon
inspection proved the very extensive
shafts, some long tunnels, the rem
nants Of cross-cuts, surface trenches.
and at a point of vantage the remains
Of fort. The cowboy understood the
fort proposition easily enough. Even
In his days mountains were not al
ways the safest place for white man,
.warlfke and hostile Apaches still
claiming this part of the country for
their own.
The records of the Lost Padre mine
are yet to be found in the churches Of
the mission padres in Mexico. How
long this mine was worked by the
padres Is not known, but the records
speak of the hostile Indians, and how
they succeeded. after many attempts,
TO drive the fathers back from those
mountains, until time wiped out all
trails; those padres who knew the To-
cation OF the mine died. and only the
legend remained of q once rich prop
ierty.
The American cowboy relocated the
.old workings every year. hoping to
sell the property. hope which he
never realized. On his deathbed he
conflded the map showing the location
of the mine to his family. from whom
the records were secured last year by
Arthur Kunze, the original locator of
the once famous Greenwater district.
who journeyed into the isolated San
lAndreas range last January and relo-
Gated the property In letter to the
editor Of local paper here he corrob-

believing that without doubt the Lost
Padre has been found, he has given
that name to the workings.

road is now being constructed to the
remote ruins, and active operations
will begin on the property.
