dykes are granite.

dominating dykes are granite. The
central granite formation is found
at Harvey Peak, which is the highest
point Of the Black Hills.
The cleavage OF the states run
north and south, and the granite, as
a general rule has followed the lines
Of least resistance, and also have a
strike in the northerly and southerly
direction. This rule, however, has
its exceptions. and there are places
where many smaller dykes cut the
formation, and run for short dis
tances easterly or westerly.
In travelling east, west or south,
for g distance of twelve miles, from
Custer City, you come to where the
states are covered by the flat forma-
ton, consisting Of the potsdam and
sand stone, which rests conformably
upon the States, and above this,
come the other different stratas of
the cambrian, which is generally cap
ped by the blue limestone OF the car
boniferous age. No mines of note
have thus far been found in the flat
formation, II we except the Creole
mines on the west, which are in the
potsdam, and the Southern Queen
Copper mines which are located in
the dolomite limestone on the east.
The flat formation In Custer coun-
ty has thus far not received much
attention from the prospector, and
their investigation may yet disclose
some valuable mines.

his oratorical ability beyond ques-
ton and probably threw dozen
votes to his side of the proposition.
The forceful address of Rep.
Tscharner in defense of the bill; a
concise recitation of facts by Rep.
Teets, former railroad man and
from a railroad town; an explana-
tion of how the committee arrived at
it's unanimous favorable report By
Rep. Peterson and talks by Repre-
sentatives Issenhuth and Sutley,
were too formidable an array for the
oratory of the Yankton member.
The concensus of opinion is that
the bill will not only pass the SEN
ate, but that the emergency clause
will be tackled back on to it. II this
is done the mouse will likely concur
and the measure handed to the gov
ernor for his signature.
There would seem to be no remedy
for the unfortunate attitude Of the
state toward its servants in allow
ing them such mergre compensation
for their services. H. B. ESQ pro-
vided for an increase In the salaries
Of the railway commissioners to 81
900 each per year. This body of
men has unquestionably done great
service for the state and saved this
people thousands Of dollars, but the
effort to raise their salaries a few
hundred dollars per year was wasted
Someone moved indefinite postpone
ment Of the bill. 1t carried, and
really meritorious measure WA cast

SHEEP WAGON Is RIDDLED.
Henry Bund, Hertler, Shot Through
the Shoulder and His Horse
Wounded.

Sheridan, Wyo.. Feb l7.-Henry
Bund, herder for Waisner & Sons,
woolgrowers. is in the state hospital
with bullet hole through his right
shoulder, which he received Sun
day night, when two alleged raiders,
armed with automatic guns, fred
fourteen shots through q sheep wag-
on, in which Bund and Chef Wais-
ner. one OF the owners. were sleep
ing. A horse picketed near the was-
on was also shot through the shout
der. but most of the bullets passed
through the body of the wagon, al
most entirely wrecking the cooking
utensils and creating havoc among
the provisions and other articles
which were in the wagon.
The shooting occurred about 8
o'clock in the evening. Having fin
ished their supper and tired with the
days work, Mr.. Waisner was lying
down and Bund was preparing to go
to bed, when, without warning of any
kind, the fusillade began.
Armed with automatic rifles, the
shots came SO close together that
it ia not known whether or not it
was the first bullet that struck Bund,
but it was near the beginning of the
firing that Bund was struck. Mr..
Washers escape from injury was
due to the fact that he was lying
down and was partially protected.
Bund dropped to the floor of the
wagon as soon as possible. and was
struck only once.
The shooting occurred in the re-
gion known as the Cottonwood, west
Of and not far from Arvada. The
wagon was near the head of canyon
through which the raiders approach
ed. Empty cartridges lying on the
ground show where they stood while
shooting, and it was about Is yards
from the wagon.
Immediately after tho firing had
ceased the beleagured men looked
out and saw the raiders running
down the canyon. They were on foot
at the time but some distance away
the tracks show that they had lei,
their horses, which they mounted
and rode away.
Bund was taken to Arvada, where
he received surgical attention, and
last night was brought to Sheridan
and placed in the hospital. Unless
blood poisoning develops he viii
probably recover.
The shooting was reported to the
Sheridan county officers and Cover
nor Carey was Immediately notified
The matter was also taken up with
the head officers of the Woolgrowers
association, and Joe LeFos, detective
for the association, was notified. Lee
Eos will make a determined effort to
apprehend the raiders.

CUSTER COUNTY.

by ". w. hOOlnS. IL Will De 1OuQ0
| by reference 10 the map that Custer
| County is situated in the southern
| portion OF the Black Hills, and oc-
! cupies that portion OF the country ly-
ing between the boundary line of
Pennington on the north, and Fall
| River county On the south. 1t ex-
tends from the Wyoming state line
| on the west to the Cheyenne river
on the east, distance OF about sixty
| miles
By far the greater part of this area
is devoted to farming and stock
raising, and they being in fairly
| prosperous condition, the revenues
from these industries go far to keep
up the county organization. But in
| this paper propose to deal for the
most part with the mineral industry.
i to enumerate some of the varieties
and describe some Of it's peculiarities
as the occur in this section of the
country. The mineral bearing zone
is generally confined to tract, which
in it's widest part, is about twenty
miles from north to south and nearly
the same distance from east to
west. Well situated near the center
OF this mineral tract lies Custer City
1t Is situated in the valley of French
Creek, and is altogether a pleasant
and attractive place to live, and des-
tined in the not distant future to be
the center of large mining popu-
lation.
The country rock, generally speak
ing. is slate, of the old micacious
| variety, which Is to be classed as
sedimentary, though its thickness is
thus far unknown, as no shaft has
ever sounded its depth.
These states are traversed with q
multitude OF veins, whose strike is
generally north 20 degrees west
which vary from a few inches to
more than hundred feet in width
The north and south zones are
crossed in many places by other
veins and zones Of mineral, running
east and west, and it is at these
crossings OF two or more zones tina,
the largest and richest veins are
found. These rich spots have ha6
their local attraction, and it is here
the mining camps are established
and towns are built. 1t has beer
truly said that every mining camr
has Its own characteristics, ores
which are peculiar to particular dis
tricts. For instance there are mine:
in the Northern Hills which canno,
be duplicated in the southern, ana
there are ores in the Southern Hills
(which have no correspondence In the
North, and in each section the ores
in the different camps differ radi.
cally from eachother.
OF course there are some ores
In each which, in appearance. seem
Identical. but in others there is Q
great difference and this difference
cannot always be accounted for.
Most OF the veins in the slate in
Custer county are quartz, but quartz
In which there are many fine black
specks. diffused through the rock
and these black specks generally
!, contain 9 heart OF fine gold. II
has been found that this ore is invar-
tiabiy telluride. and always carries
gold.
IN the Northern Hills they have
lores which contain smaller per
cent Of tellurium Ii combination.
but aevsr n this form. s

well be termed peculiar"
1t Is probably true that so far as
placer mining is concerned, that the
richest and most promising of these
have been worked out. Nevertheless
there are still thousands of acres of
gold bearing gravel which could paw
we'll with hydraulic power, is suff-
Gent water could be obtained. This
can be done, and may at some future
day. but the expense is to great for
the task to be undertaken by our
own people at the present time.
1t is to the quartz mines then that
We must look and having developed
and tested these sufficiently to prove
that they are good, we know that
we can depend upon our quartz to
retrieve the past. Still, realizing the
fact that We need the assistance OF
capital, our prospectors stand ready
to deal literally with those who come
seeking to join forces with us, to win
the metal from the rock, to promote
the interests Of all, and to ripen the
prosperity OF our country.

From View by Spray of the Cataract
Over the Horseshoe Lands Success
fully on Canadian Shore.

Niagara Falls, n. with the
whirr of his biplane motor drowned in
the roar of the cataract and man and
machine momentarily obscured in spray
and mist, Lincoln Beachey, the Cali
fornia aviator, after circling above the
falls, swooped beneath the arches of
the upper steel bridge and down the
gorge almost to the whirlpool.
Rising against between the sides of
the lower river, Beachey scared to the
Canadian side, where he made a success
full landing 1t was the first time that
a birdman had cut through the air cur
rents and mist clouds and leaping foam,
caused by Niagara Falls and rapids.
When he crossed the American falls
he was about 1000 feet in the air. In
a great, sweeping circle he swung to
the north and over the Horseshoe falls.
Dropping as he circled, on his second
circle he went well to the southwest
before beginning his low fight toward
the upper steel arch bridge under which
he was to have passed.
Winging to the north and travelling
about so miles an hour, he went prob
ably not more than 200 feet over the
Horseshoe and through its spray.
Once over the cataract, he lowered
his plane, and rushing with the wind,
estimated at 60 miles an hour, he dipped
quickly under the arch.
AS he did not he caught some of the
wash off the outlet of the power tunnel,
which shoots over the rock side of the
precipice At no time from his final
dip until he was clear of the structure
was the biplane more than 80 feet
above the spume. The space through
which he flew is 16s feet high and
barely 100 feet from side to side. The
distance from the bank of the falls to
the bridge in which he made the dip
is about 400 yards.

prises, not because he was Havemeyer,
but because his money would be for the

Mrs. Dot' is the comedy in which
Miss Billie Burke will be seen at the

of "Mrs. Dot" are laid in England,
and its characters are the sort of people
one reads about in popular novels, but
w. Somerset Vaughan has inspired
them with life and has put clever, witty
lines in their mouths. The play tells
all about love match 1t is play
that is well worth seeing, and Miss
Burke is a delight in the title role.

At the Auditorium theater, three
nights, beginning July 3rd, in the role
or Aunt Mary, Miss Robson has achiev-
ed a most gratifying success. The sup
porting company has been highly en-
dorsed, and the elaborate setting of the
play is far in advance of the average
comedy. Miss Robsons character i'm
personation is the development of a
keen sense of humor allied with the art
of acting, obscuring her own personal
ity in the stage creation of Aunt Mary.
In word, 'The Regeneration of Aunt
Nary with Miss Robson, will be a
pleasing play to witness.
