FULL FIVE YEAR
TIME REQUIRED

The practice heretofore followed by
the Land Department for number of
years, IN allowing homestead entry
men, who submit final five year proof
to receive credit for constructive
residence for the period that elapsed
between the date of entry and the
date of establishing actual residence
in all cases where actual residnce
was begun with n six months from
date of entry, has been abolished by
an order of the acting secretary of the
Interior, and in all cases where final
(five-year) proof is submitted on or
after December 1st. 1911, the entryman
must show actual residence for the
full period of five years before proof
can be accepted. The concluding
paragraph of the order follows: After
most careful and mature consider
alton of this matter, feel it is my
duty to disregard the erroneous prac-
tice heretofore obtaining in your Off
ce and to direct that you exact of
homestead entrymen proof Of resid-
ence for the full period of five years,
as required by the statute, before the
same can be approved as basis for
the issuance of patent thereon. Be-
cause of the long practice heretofore
prevailing, l belive it right and pro-
per to give ample time for notice of
the contemplated change before putt
ing the same into effect. have,
therefore, to advise you that in all
instances where ordinary final proof
submittee under the homestead laws
on and after the first dav of December
next, 1911, the law as above inter
preted be followed

is to be put to work at Pactola on

summer camps.
The mica production by the West
ipghouse people in their Custer coun-
ty mines is placed at one million
pounds of mica for the year. The de-
velopment of tin mines in Custer
county has not shown any great pro-
gress, but several companies are OPP
Grating in the tin prospects, one COM
pany shipping $4,000 pounds of black
tin to Liverpool last year, which
brought them S13, ,O26.5o. Beside the
company which made this shipment,
another company has been organized
to work over the tim prospects, and
further developments in that line are
looked for the coming year.

MINING OUTPUT
in THE STATE

Pierre, Dec. 16.-The annual report
of State Mine Inspector, Daugherty,
which has just been filed with the
governor. shows that the total output
of Black Hills gold mines for the year
ending November 1, was 81 .625, ,506. %.
This he divides into different mine
outputs as follows:
Homestake, s., ,s75, 100000.
Mogul, S4s1. 10000.
Golden Reward, 1892. .701. 90.
Wasp No. 2. 1895, ,9o7.75.
Lundberg Door and Wilson, s75, 754.
New Reliance, $31, ,492.62.
Small companies and individuals
1919, $4,000.
Gross output placer mining, $s3, OOo.
The different mining propositions in
the Black Hills employ 1914 men.
Among these employees accidents
last year caused the death of nine
men. and serious injuries to thirteen
others.
The report deals more largely than
has any past one with the matter of
development work which is being done
in all sections of the Black Hills, with
the possibilities Of new production of
gold which may be looked for in some
of this development, One feature of
this development work which is not
looked upon with favor by summer
campers is that of dredge work which
makes the streams so dirty that fish
will not live in them. The one comp
anv which has been operating a
dredge on Castle creek near Mystic has

BOOSTER MEETING
HELD AT INTERIOR

Last Friday afternoon and evening
the regular monthly meeting of the
Stanley County DEVELOPMENT League
was held at Interior and large num-
ber of Delegates were present from
the different parts of the county.
At the afternoon session the prin-
cipal speaker was Mr.. Dan Bierwagen
OF Westfork, the alfalfa king of South
Dakota, who gave an exceedingly
interesting and instructive talk on
the planting and raising of alfalfa.
His entire talk was greatly appreci-
ated and carried much weight as the
information he impaired was gathered
from his own experience in raising
this most profitable crop. Mr.. Bier
wagon had just returned from trip
to Florida and gave a good description
of that country together with his
opinion of the productivness of the
soil and possibilities of invesGm ent
there, and after the close of his talk
there were not many in the house
who had any desire to exchange
their new and productive Stanely
County land for the worn out and run
down soil of Florida.
Following Mr.. Bierwagen's address
o. E. Stuart. of Kadoka, was called
upon and told in a most interesting
way OF his success in raising alfalfa
on his farm west of here, the seed be-
ing purchased from the proceeding
speaker. A number of others We're
called upon and gave short talks and
the meeting adjourned for supper.
When the meeting re-convened in
the evening number of short talks
were made on different subjects of
interest to the people of Staley County
and the business of the meeting was
taken up.
After considerable discussion on the
seed grain question it was decided to
circulate petitions addressed to the
County Commissioners asking them
to use the seed grain law in furnishing
seed to the needy settlers and the
secretary of the League Albert Norby
of Fort Pierre, was instructed to at
tend the January meeting of the
County Commissioners and look after
the interest of the League in securing
favorable acton on this matter. The
..oal rates on the railroadIwas then tax
en- up and the chairman was instructed
to appoint committe on the Milwalk-
ee railroad to take the matter up
with that company and endeavor to
secure a lower freight rate on coal.
A like committee was appointed
for the Northwestern railroad at the
meeting at Philip and both commit
tees will get busy at once.
After the close of the meeting the
crowd adjourned to the Home Cafe
where sumptuous three course ban
quet was served by the people of In
terror.
The meeting was most interest
Ing one and mrch good was derived
by those attending and the people of
Interior showed themselves to be
royal entertainers and made the Wis
itors feel perfectly at home.
The next meeting will be held at
Cottonwood on January 18th and we
trust that larger delegation than
ever will be able to attend from this
locality.

Other Big Land Shows.

If the Northwest farmer will only get
busy and get his good stuff together he
can exhibit at most all the land shows.
The Pittsburg Land Show will be be-
tween October 18th and October 2Sth.
The Omaha Land Show will be between
October Is and %. 1911. Then comes the
New York Land Show with Sill coo in
prizes; dates--Noyember Bird to Noveul-
Der 18th. After the New York Land
Show is the big Chicago Show, starting
Saturday, November 18th, and ending
December 9th.
The Northwest farmers own show-the
Northwestern Land Products Show, at
st, Paul-will probably commence De
cemher 18th and continue TO December
oath, 1911, and 50. Won see, a farmer on
community can exhibit at all the shows.
Every good exhibit at any one Of these
shows is going to help bring new settlers
to that place.

The cool weather and abundant rains
in the past few weeks assure the North
west farmers good crops. More than
usual returns will be had by many of
the more progressive farmers, who will
exhibit at the New York and other big
land shows. The habit of exhibiting at
.hese big shows is a good one to get-it
brings honor and money to the enterpris-
ing farmer. In past years the Northwest
farmers have won many prizes for the
best wheat-oats-potatoe -barley-the
finest apples-and prize winning corn.
sugar beets, alfalfa and hops are also
raised. Every time a Northwest farmer
wins prize at the big land shows more
settlers come into the Northwest and
many times they move close by the prize
winners farm. This increases the value
of his land and brings him good, ambi
tious neighbors, who also get the prize
getting habit.
$1,000 for the Best Wheat in the World.

cup. The Northwest ought to win that
potato cup, as well as the wheat prize
money. Then there is the Earling cup
for the best oats-the James J. Hill cup
for the best 100 pounds of wlIeat-the
Busch cup for hops-the Pabst cup for
barley. All these are beautiful cups, all
worth 81 ,000 except the Pabst barley cup
that's worth $1,000 Surely the North
west should win these cups. Where else
do they raise such potatoes, wheat, bar
ley, oats, ETC.!
$500 for Apples.
President Elliott, of the Northern Pa
citc Railway. has offered $500 in gold for
the finest apples. The apples raised in
Montana, Oregon and Washington are
easily the best in the world. They bring
the highest prices and have the best
flavor, color and keeping qualities, as the
National Apple Shows have demonstrated.
