WASHINGTON, Oct. 14.-All hope
for a constitutional election In Mexico
on which to base recognition by the
United States was abandoned by Of

this policy. Warships In Mexican

President Huerta but four others are
ready to replace them.

NOT OF VALUE
Streak of Gold at Kadoka Too
Thin to Pay Out.

vermillion, Jan. 11.-Responding
to the urgent request of residents of the
section Of country around Ksdoka, S
D., Elwood @. Perisho, dean of the
college of arts and sciences OF the uni.
v%ersitv, made a thorough investigation
Of the alleged gold finds in that section.
"There is a thin streak of sand. "
said Perisho, lin which placer gold
running perhaps $40 to the ton can
be found, but the streak is so thin
that it would scarcely warrant work
ing it on a very large scale.
The dean remarked that the presence
of this gold in that particular section
has interest other than the intrinsic
value of the metal which may be found
there. cit proves, he said, that
all that vast country known as the
Black Hills was in some prehistoric
day drained by the White river east
ward instead of by the Cheyenne riv-
er. as is the case at the present time.
The gold of the Black Hills was washed
down the stream beds. and this will al
so account for the presence of gold in
abandoned channels of the Missouri

PLENTY MONEY
Hutchinson County Commission
ers Find Difficulty in
Letting Money

Trip, Jan. 1f.-While il is known
that the people of southeastern South
Dakota are prosperous and not heavy
borrowers, it is not often that $48,-
900 goes begging for want of applica-
ton for its use. as is the case OF the
funds of Hutchinson county. In this
county notice was given by the county
auditor that applications to act as
repositories of county funds would be
received mp to a certain date of the
January meeting of the board of
county commissioners. At the specified
time there were two or three bids or
applications IN for funds, then amount
ing to $40. 600. and at times running
to over 500. 900. The commissioners
thereupon adjourned for dinner with
out having opened the bids. believing
that other bankers of the county who
were present would take advantage OF
the interval and ask for to be desig-
mated as repositories of the balance of
the funds. but when they met again
to open the bids. they found to their
amazement that the banks bidding
mad withdrawn their applications.
The commissioners immediately or
dered the auditor to r~eadvertise, be-
lieving hat there were banks in the
state that could use and would be
glad to make application for the funds.
Hutchinson county is eettled largely
by prosperous German and German
Russian farmers, while along the
James river are some half dozen Men.
MONTE colonies, rich and prosperous
and living lives of ideal simplicity.
Their taxes frequently amount to from
$500 to 81. 600 a colony. Individual
taxpayers who pay from $3.50 to $500
are not uncommon.
