Billings COUNTY MUST
SECURE SEED GRAIN

BEACH, Jan. 10 That Billings
county must go into the seed grain
business as a matter of accOmmOda-
ton to farmers who lost their crops
in the southeastern townships this
year, was developed at this weeks
meeting of the county commissioners
at Medora. David Hart, prominent
young farmer in that portion Of Bill
ings county lying nea.' New England,
appeared before the the board with
an extensive petition from the farm
ers in his section, asking that the
provisions of the seed grain law be
made operative in their behalf in
time to be of assistance j. the COM
ing spring. Under the law. the COM
missioners have 10 alternative but to
issue bonds and purchase seed grain
for use of farmers, when properly
petitioned. The amounts paid for
such grain become a lien upon the
crop and property Of the farmer. and
must be repaid % the county or COL
lected in the form of taxes. 1t was
stated at Medora that there would be
demands for probably $4,000 or
100000 in the near vicinity of New
England. and probably other con-
siderable amounts in other portions
If the southern section.

INCREASED Yield
in BLACK Hills
HOMESTAkE MINE WAS OPERAT-
ING At FULL CAPACITY
DURING 1911.
Most Of Large Mining Properties
Were Scenes Of Activity, and 1910
Out put was Surpassed.

The principal gold mines of the
Black Hills. according to Charles w.
Henderson of the United States geo.
logical survey, were steadily operated
III 1911, and a heavily increased
yield, only slightly below that of the
record year, 1908, was the result. The
Homestake mine, which produces each
year the bulk of the gold bullion
from this state, at the beginning OF
the year had completely overcome
the labor difficulties of 1909-1910 and
was again operating at the full ca
pacity of its plant of 1000 stamps
with cyanide, sand and slime plants.
The other large properties were cor.
respondingly active.
OF particular interest in the north
ern Black Hills are the progress on
the hydraulic-electric plant of the
Homestake company; the building at
Galena of the new Osterman-Danck.
Wardt pyritic smelter, and of the Gilt
Edge Maid concentrating plant; the
proposed increase in the capacity Of
the Golden Reward cyanide plant by
the addltlOn or rooster; the open
cut mining and low costs of the Wasp
No. 2 company; the building Of the
300.ton cyanide plant of the Bismarck
company; and the testing of the de-
posts of zinc ore near Deadwood.

Progress IN Saving
lives OF Miners
INSPECTION AND VENTILATION
BROUGHT NEAR TO
PERFECTION
PERFECTION
Is Supplemented by Efficient Rescue
and First Aid to the Injured Corps.

Mine. disasters like the recent one
in Tennessee, where scores of men
lost their lives, emphasize the import
ance OF the new government Bureau
of Mines, which by investigation an
tests is constantly seeking to find a
remedy for present unsafe conditions.
The bureau gives its attention not
only to mines where conditions are
bad but also to mines where they are
good in order to learn from what has
already been accomplished. And
the bureau has found that, If all the
mine owners in the country had adopt
ed the safety appliances and life-sav-
ing methods that have been adopted
by some of the most enlightened the
death roll would be far shorter than
it is.
The bureau. soon after it was estab.
lished, made thorough study of the
Pennsylvania anthracite mines. where
protective methods have reached their
highest development, and is now help.
ing to spread through the country
many of the improvements and limo.
vations which were found there. No.
tably is this true of the first.aid-to the
injured work. First aid in mining was
originated in the anthracite fields, and
the system perfected there has been
made the model for othr mining Sec
lions.
Up to date mining companies, how
ever, realize that it is not first aid
corps and rescue squads that present
the real solution Of the accident prob
lem. The real solution is not cure but
prevent;ozs Careful inspection be1
fore the men enter the mine, thorough
ventilation, S hoists, elaborate pre-
cautions against fire-these were the
features in the hard coal mines in
which the government investigators
took most interest.
Every morning in the anthracite
mine the Sire bosses go through all
gangways and chambers before work
begins They test every corner of
the mine to find out if there is dan
gerous gas anywhere, and they ex'
anime the timbering to see if there
is proper protection against falls OF
the roof. The fire bosses" report
to the foreman at the bottom of the
shaft, giving him a record OF what
working chambers, if any. are unsafe.
The mine workers, coming down the
shaft later, must pass by the fore.
mans office for assignment to their
places, and no one is allowed to go
where danger turks.
This inspection is really the corner
stone Of the life-saving system, and
it's Importance can hardly be over.esti'
mated. Along with it goes ventilation,
for it is keeping the mine full of pure
air, and therefore clear of gas, that
removes the most serious danger to
the worker. The Pennsylvania law
compels constant flow of air through
the mine at a rate of 200 cubic feet
a minute for each worker, but the
anthracite operators provide a much
larger quantity than this in order to
have a wide margin of safety. Also

The prominent position this city oc-

way is brought to notice by recent

child's life by the operation known
as caesarian section. and states that
it is the first operation of the kind
performed in Aberdeen and the only
one of it's kind performed in the
state with the exception Of one at
Mitchell two years ago. The records
Of the Sisters hospital here shows
five such operations from tnis and
adjoining states in the past year and

were within ten days of each other
and both were from Nebraska, one
being brought here by special train
from Chadron. The life of every
