Prohibition In North Carolina

Anti-prohibtion writers and speakers are
quick to give data which seem To corroborate
their own views the question but ignore
facts that show the beneficial results In North
Carolina where prohibition has resulted IN great
benefit, though comparatively In its infancy,
the. opponents Of tns policy seem incapable
or looking TO the good results, but are ever
ready To catch up any small Indication OF Its
failures. IT any man in the State ought to
know something definite about it, the governor
is the man. HS has studied the ects of the
law in that State In all It's aspects, and said
not long since that two years is short a
period In which to measure the effect OF such
reform movement. Little more than planting
the seeds Of temperance for Development

The power Of alcoholic drinks for evil in

Old Man Gets Lost

Undertaking to walk from his home
at Hill City to the Cowboy mine just
out of that town, an old gentleman
named McNish, aged II, became lost
and wondered over the hills for 30
hours before he was found by some
children. The man became confused
with different trails and was unable
to find his way back after he once be-
came lost and only the fact that the
days and nights have been so mild
prevented serious effects from his ex-
posure. AS soon as he was missed a
large force of men started out in pur-
suit of the aged man but found no
tract of him until they met the school
children returning with him late the
next day.

REVIVAL OF MINING lNTERETS
In Southern Hills and Penn
ingtone County This
Season.

Indications at present seem to point
to all unusually fine season ahead for
the southern Hills this summer. The
developement Of mining in the south
ern portion OF the Black Hills has
been retarded in many ways to keep
it much behind that in the northern
half. Then too, the lower grades Of
ores did not exist there as further
north and while rich strikes have
been frequent, they have been of the
pocket variety and when once pinched
out in property, it was seldom fol-
lowed up much further.
Within the past year new spirit
has been apparent among southern
Hills men. Outside capital has COM
menced to look upon southern Hills
properties in different aspect and to
see something of their possibilities
for rich returns where more time and
systematic development was given.
The Westinghouse Electric company
by securing and then steadily develop
ing the prolific and extensive mica
beds around Custer, did much to
further this.
The organization of the old Harvey
Peak Tin Mining company and the
Subsequent expenditure of $50,000 in
preliminary development and pros
pecting work in the tin fields around
Hill City, was still another impor-
tant step. The reorganization of the
old Clara Belle Mining company at
Oreville and its later successful de-
velopment under the name of the
Forest City Mining company, by
Cleveland men financially able and
willing to develop along slow but
systematic lines, added to the reputa-
tim. Of the southern Hills. Quite re-
Gently the Gold Medal Mining COM
pany by pursuing careful policy of
development in the Golden Slipper
mine near Hill City, has turned it in

regular amounts of gold and is in
fact the only gold producer in the
southern Hills at present. Now an
other group of men, working quietly
but carefully on the Forest City claim
east Of the Golden Slipper, have just
uncovered what appears to be high
ly important vein Of rich gold ore
This claim has been worked for over
twenty years in more or less desultofy
fashion but recently Messrs. Forsythe
Roland and Brown took hold and
commenced another form of develop
ment.

new RAILROAD AGlTATED
Between Rapid City and Sun
dance, Wyoming.
From Thursdays Journal.

FROM THURSDAY journal.
The dream of many Of our people,
and of some that have gone bids fair
to be realized as the result of the ef-
fort on the part of the Business Club
of Sundance to get a railroad to a
market
Some few days ago the merchants of
that hustling table town organized a
club and instructed their prcsi lnn /.
w. E. Brockett, to get busy ii IL.
q way to get a railroad '.'hc Nc
Laughlin road runs from Nahant, a
station on the Burlington, to camp
in the timber 16 miles from Sundance.
Mr.. Brockett got very busy and
learned that proper advances would
secure the cooperation of the Nc
Laughlin people.
He called upon every farmer and
merchant in the territory to be served
by the new road to tell What they
would have to ship. His compilation
of data is not only comprehensive of
present development b II is real
prophecy of what the road will do to
increase the acreage and production.
AS the road now almost reaches the
coal district and would cross bel of
coal land for ten miles Rapid City
would at last be a coal market with a
partically exclusive field. The ton
mage to be secured by reasonable ex-
animation of the data warrants the
assertion that the proposed invest
ment of $3.50, 600 in railroad and equip
ment will be justified 10y the earnings
on business in sight.
The saving to the town of Sun
dance alone Of the cost of hauling
from the railroad at Aladdin will pay
the interest on such an investment.
Last year the team h u i II G
amounted to nearly $4,000. There
is no doubt that Rapid City would
largely profit by the addition of this
new field for her jobbers to serve and
several new towns would spring up on
the road when regular service is es-
tablished.
A number, of our merchants are
much interested, more particularly
those who are putting out all effort tc
supply the smaller towns.
II proper support follows this in
terest, it will mean more factories in
Rapid City as well as jobbing houses
in a number of lines not now repre-.
sented except in retail way.
AS Mr.. Brockett has extensive east.
ern financial connections, the sale OF
the bonds will be made very quickly
when the initial steps are taken here

AT7rNPH ROBBERY
Man Assaulted With Robbery
as Motive.

Another assault and attempt rob-
berry by q thug was brought to light
when II. H. Mueller, of Newport,
Wis, left the hospital last week.
Mr.. Mueller had come to this city
to buy land He made inquiries as to
where he might purchase team and
two men took him to the rear of a
saloon to show him some horses. AS
he passed the rear door of the saloon
he was struck a heavy blow from be-
hind which rendered him unconscious.
The robbers were evidently frightened
away before securing his money which
he had in his inside vest pocket.
He was discovered by laborer and
taken to the Rapid City hospital,
where he was eventually restored to
consciousness and his wounds dressed.
The failure to relieve him of his
money was very likely due to the fact
that he kept his bills in his in
side vest pocket and wore a
new raj coat which he had
tightly buttoned from top to bottom,
and the coat being new, it was hard
to open and hence the men were de-
layed, and perhaps frustrated, before
getting to the right pocket.
