Neither mine officials nor mine in

Toronto, Ont.-Several hundred
lives and millions of dollars

the buildings OF the Eldorado. Porcu'

All reports give but a vague idea
Of the loss Of life and property in Por-

hundreds Of lives and millions OF
dollars.
In just four hours the fre swept
from the Standard mines through to
the shores of Porcupine lake, where

pine and Pottsville and part OF Golden

Many miners lost their lives in ef-

Funds Are Exhausted.

Pierre.-Sheriffs over the state who
took prisoners to the penitentiary for
the last part of the fisca year just
closed will have to wait for their pay
until the next legislative session, as
the appropriation for that purpose was
exhausted, with bills amounting to
about S $1,000 unpaid. The legislature
would not accept the estimates of the
auditors department of $4,000, but re-
duced it to $4,000, with the above re-
suit. The economy appropriation COM
mittee also cut $9O.15 from the def
cheney appropriation for that purpose
asked by the department, and two bills
to that amount will not be paid for
work done in the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1910, and will have to wait
until another session m around to
get their pay.

A Fire Protection.

Pierre.-The fire guard proposition
is receiving attention from h people
of the western part of the state earlier
than usual this year, and every private
or public fire break is being stirred,
or the owners are being urged to take
such action. This on account of the
dry weather so early in the season
putting the prairie in shape where 1t
will burn easily; and the further fact
that on account of scarcity of feed, a
fire loss is so much more serious than
it would be under normal conditions.
There appears on these accounts to
be more care taken this year than for
any former year since settlement OF
the state.

far above those of former years, prob
ably going as high as $4,000. The
summer of last year and the spring Of
this year have been most, favorable to
the Matching and rearing Of young
chickens and grouse, and they are re-

DOMESTIC ANIMALS
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT OF
CENSUS STATISTICS OF AMI
MAILS AND POULTRY.
OTHER ITEMS OF INTEREST
From the Capital Cityt, the Various
State Institutions and Diff
ferent Parts Of the
State.

Washington, D. C.-Statistics rela-
tive to the domestic animals, poultry
and bees reported on farms ana
ranges for the state Of South Dakota
at the thirteenth decennial census,
April Is, 1910, are contained in an or
fetal statement issued today by Act
ing Director Falkner. 1t is based on
tabular summaries prepared under the
direction of DR.. LIE Grand Powers,
chief statistician for agriculture In the
bureau of census. The figures are pre-
liminary and subject to slight reVl-
sion later, when a few other farms,
whose returns, now incomplete, are in
cluded in the final tables. 1t is not
expected that these additions will ma
terially modify the amounts or t
stated herein. Special attention is
called to the fact that the present
statement relates only to live stock on
farms and ranges and does not give
the figures for the cities and towns
Of the state.
The aggregate value Of all domestic
animals, poultry and bees in 1910 was
reported as 1927, 047 900, as compared
with SOS, 155, 900 in 1900, the amount
of increase being SCI, $4,000 and the
rate 95 per cent.
The total value of domestic ami
mails was reported as $124,65S,000 in
1910, as against $64,2S7,000 in 1900,
the increase amounting to $60,371,0O
or 93.9 per cent.
The poultry were valued at $2,357,-
900 in 1910, as compared with $751;
900 in 1900, the gain being $1,000, 900,
or IT'S per cent.
The bees were valued at $4,000 in
1910 and $1O,1 100 in 1900, the increase
amounting to $21, 500, or 213.1 per cent.

Hidden Fortune Gold Mining company,
one of the biggest mining companies
here, was sold at a receivers sale to
Kirk G.. Phillips. trustee for the cred

court order and is regarded as an inn
portant step in clearing up the litfga'
ton over the property which has in
volved years of bitter contest.

A Test Case.

Pierre.-In the case of John Ley vs..
Robert Kennedy, the residents OF
Dewey county expect to secure a de-
cision on the matter of rights of home
steaders in free range territory. The
suit is brought by Ley on a claim for
damages by horses grazing on his
homestead, and whatever the decision
of the suit in the circuit court, it will
be brought to the supreme court for a
final test out of the rights of the
homesteader. The main question
raised is the right of an owner of live
stock to take the property Of a home
steader without the right of recovery.

To Test Herd Law.

To Test Herd Law.
Dupree.-There is an awakening
among people of all classes residing
in that portion of the state west OF
the Missouri river concerning the diff
ferent phases of the contests which
are being made by those interested in
the herd law. The stockmen are seek
ing to avoid the effect of the law pass
ed at the last session of the legisla-
ture which abolishes the distinction
formerly made between those parts
of the state lying to the east and west
of the Missouri river. The law for
merly made it optional with the
ties west of the river as to whether
or not the herd law should apply
there. Only a few of the counties had
adopted it and the stock interests, by
their action in enforcing a referen-
dunn were seeking to continue the
range conditions in the other counties.
A friendly suit las been instituted
in the circuit court of Ziebach county
in which will be questioned at an ear
ly date the validity of the old law
which will apply on account of the re-
ferring of the new laws, until the next
general election, November, 1912. 1t
is expected that this case will be tried
without a jury and probably will be
appealed TO the October term of the
supreme court. It is believed that
the supreme court will decide against
the constitutionality of the old law be-
cause it is believed to be in conflict
with the inhibition of the law prohib-
iting local or class legislation.
Immigration Commissioner.
Pierre.-The selection of j.. D. Deets
of this city as state commissioner Of
immigration may look as if the begin
ming of the work of such a depart
ment under present existing condi-
tons in the state, will be a hard under
taking. But those who know South
Dakota, know that the present condi-
tons are but temporary, as the record
for years will readily show, and the
new commissioner of immigration has
several months work ahead of him
before he can expect to do much in
the way of publicity for the state. We
must create a new department, and
one In which he must have gathered
a lot Of statistical and practical facts
before he a expect to begin giving
