SUGGESTS PROSPECTING
FOR BLACK HILLS GOLD

From Deadwood, s. d, P~ioneer-Times.
Prospecting for ore In tho Black Hills is
almost a thing of the past. It has ceased
to be one of the features OF the district,
Th old generation OF prospectors has
passed away and there is none to take
their place. The prospectors' cabin Is rap.
idly disappearing also, and Its place Is
the rustic summer cabin OF the capitalist
who seeks the isolated gulch or canyon
for rest and enjoyment. This is unfortu-
nate for 1t cannot be claimed that no un-
discovered veins OF ore exist. or that the
country has been entirely exploited.
Various reasons are assigned for the
disappearance Of the prospector, but the
one most generally offered Is that tho
mineral lands OF the Black Hills have
practically oil ceased to be public domain,
and the title has passed by patent to pri-
vate owners. 1t must be admitted that
there Is some truth in this statement. but
ut does not offer a satisfactory reason
Why there Is no prospecting for ore. Sure
ly the owners are anxious to have the
ore discovered SO as to give value to their
property. but 1t is n fact.that there is too
much land held In this unimproved con-
dition. when a little money spent on 1t
for prospecting might give 1t a market
value. The owners of such land would
undoubtedly be glad to enter into q COM
tract with any prospector who might un-
dertake to find ore on their property for
a division of the profits.
Another reason frequently assigned for
the lack of prospecting Is the cost. This
Is a valid n substantial reason. Real
prospecting requires the sinking of shafts
and the driving of tunnels to hunt for
the ore. This requires more money than
the average property owner can afford
alone. 1t has to be lone by Incorporation
when a number Of people can combine
their money and concentrate It at q single
point. Small corporations for develop;
ment. financed by local men when tho
cost of selling stock can be eliminated
and all the money put in the ground 10
what Is needed more than anything else.
or a large company formed with sufficient
capital to carry on the general business
of development. Something OF this sort
must be devised 10 take the place OF -
old prospectOr.

There are all SOrts OF peanut games
to be played. One small table may hold
a big bowl of the fascinating nuts, and

has the most peanuts at the end OF
five minutes winning the game. AM
other small table Is equipped for pea
nuts for peanut jackstraws. There IL
a pile Of peanuts in the center which
the children must extract one by one,
without moving the others in the pile, by
means Of tO0thpicks. A third table has
moro peanuts. tOOthpicks, pencils, paste
and scraps OF white paper by means
OF which the children can make oil

other peanut beasts can be made by
the ingenious child.
At the end Of these peanut games.

Cases.

London: Special: On Newgate
street stands the central crimi-
nal court building which is known
far and near as the Old Bailey. 1t is
pleted in 1905, and contains four very
fine court rooms excellently lighted
and finished in oak and the building
has q very conspicuous copper covered
dome surmounted by a large bronze
figure Of justice. over the entrance
is the verse Defend the children of
the poor and punish the wrongdoer,'
and it is to be hoped that they are
as diligent In defending the children of
the poor as they are in Furnishing the
wrong doer. The building replaces the
gloomy and dingy old structure which
formerly stood here and which was the
famous Old Bailey Of history and lit
erature. Here also stood the gloomy
old Newgate prison, which was demol-
fshed in 1903, and in front of which the
public executions formerly took place.
From here it Is only a few rods to
Smithfield. where several hundred peG-
sons We're burnt at the stake in the
reign of Mary and Elizabeth. Across
the street is st. Sepulchre's church, n
on h occasion of an execution at New
gate. 1t is a locality of gloomy sur
rOundings n unhappy memories
which are somewhat relieved by the
fact that in st. Sepulchre's church
sleeps our Captain John Smith, "some-
time Governor Of Virginia and Admir-
al OF New England"
At the Old Bailey practically all Of
the crimes committed in the city of
London are tried, and it has been the
scene of many a historic and interest
ing trial. Here also is where many OF
the suffragets are tried. / remember
that / had the impression when a child
that the Old Bailey derived it's name
from being presided over by an elderly
Judge by the name of Bailey. but !
find that this is quite and
that tile name is derived from the fact
that the original building stood In the
bailey, or ditch, of the old city wall.
I am afraid that the very favorable
impression which l have formed of the
English courts in general cannot be
made to extend to the criminal courts
and I am inclined to think that il

training, and often very little general
education, while his opponen mt Is q

the defendant is permitted to cross

After the defendant has testified, he
may call whatever witnesses he may

court instructs the jury orally.
In i~nstructing the jury the court does
not handle the evidence With gloves.
like they do at the Jaw courts on the

with the evils Of the present day il
may not be amiss TO mention the
rag dancing that seems to be par,
ticularly popular in Phoenix and In
doubtless other Arizona cities right
now. Il is hard to say just where
the rag originated. Some say from
the West Coast towns, while others
insist it was brought from some o.
the larger cities in the east. However
that may be. the origin is of little
importance. The fact remains that the
rag is here and is being danced
by the Smart Set" as Wen as by the
Saturday Nighters,' and the shame
of il is that it is danced by the in
nocent, unthinking girl of sixteen as
well as by the worldly matron of
forty-fye. It is condoned with and

tunity for immo-olity existing in these
dances. Even though danced by per.
fectly innocent parties, with no
thought Of wrong, it is impossible to

It is to be hoped that a wave of
common sense and decency along this
