Silsbee, the Minnesota soldier, who in
a letter recently forwarded to Repre-

flecting on the administration of Reg
lister Burns and Land Commissioner
bennett. Silsbee charged in substance
that he had been defrauded out of a
claim on Trip county land in South
Dakota.
Register Burns comes back with a
charge that Silsbee was used as a

asks that the case be placed in the
hands of an inspector with instructions
to make thorough investigation.
Representative Burke has called the
matter to the attention of Commits
sioner bennett, and an inquiry will
doubtless be made as demanded by the

cattle range in the world. The mines
of the Black Hills have been famed
from the beginning of their history.
The last five years have been filled
with developments in another direc-
ton which bid fair to make the vast
resources of this region the basis for
a vast gathering of an industrial peo-
pie.
The real beginning of all this dates
from the consolidation of the small
light and power companies in the up
per Hills. Not until the Dakota Pow
er company, who are more or less
closely allied with the Westinghouse
people, began the subsection of the wa
tiers in Rapid and Castle canyons, was
there any real tendency towards manu-
featuring in the Black Hills.
At this time the largest saw mill
west of the Missouri river, the only
complete packing plant in a grazing
country and two brick plants, running
"a hours day, two modern gypsum
mills ana one fixture factory repre-
sent the purely manufacturing plants.
However, the dream of the geolo-
gists is about to be realized in the
overcoming of the fear of the long dis

having all of the raw material required

Are Dumped. in Heap.

Mitchell.-One hundred young men
and women went down in a heap on
the stage of the Gale theater on the
occasion of the presentation of a can
tata in connection with the Minneapo-
lis Symphony orchestra.
Raised seats in four tiers had been
erected On the stage and the singers
had taken their places to give their
selections when the platform gave way,
precipitating the men and women to
the floor below. The highest seats
were 10 feet. The underpjnning had
become insecure and with the heavy
weight the staging broke. The plat
form had been used in rehearsal during
the morning. The platform went down
slowly, which in measure minimized
the force of the fall and prevented any
serious accident. With the exception
of one or two of the women, injured
but slightly, no one was hurt.
There was great mixup of chairs,
women, men and boards and it took
some time to extricate the mess so that
the concert could go on. 1t happened
just at the start.
