STATE MINE INSPECTOR
FILES ANNUAL REPORT

Lead, s. d., Nov. 11.-That a greater
quantity of low grade ores are now be-
ing handled by the Black Hills mines
is shown by the oath annual report of
the state mine inspector, just made
public by State Mine Inspector Otto
Ellerman.
The report covers the year up to No
vember J., and while the bullion pro-
duced is less than in 1912, the tonnage
of most of h principal properties is
higher. The total gold and silver pro-
duction for 1913 is $7.497, 100. 80, bring
ing the total production of bullion in
this state since 1875 to $1S4,453,860
The numbG of men employed in Black
Hills mines is now 3,076, which is less
than in former years, due to the in
stallation of labor saving devices, prin-
cipally by the Homestake. which
equipped all its plants with electricity
during the year. throwing many engi-
neers and flremen out of work, while
h compressed air and gasoline motors
have supplanted the horses IN most Of
the mines. which reduces the number
of men and the haulage costs.

hanson, OF the state circuit court, after

taken under adyisemcnt a case Of an

OF Sioux Indians q license to conduct

supplies from the Fremont Brewing
company, and d~efaulting in the pay
ment therefor the brewing company
sued the two Indians for $1,000, which

chief feature of their defense, con-
tended that the brewing company had
violated both the federal and state
statutes by selling liquor to Indians,
and therefore could not collect the
