LEASE SYSTEM PoRTENps
MINING BOOM IN HILLS

D~eadwood. S. d, July l5.--It is APP
parent that the system of leasing is
making rapid Roadway in Black Hills
mining. The idea formerly prevailed
that leasing never could hecome popu-
lar here on account of the low grade
character of the ore, but the very OPP
posite of this is now held by many
good mining men who contend that it
is the only way the low grade ope
ties can be made to yield a profit. 1t
Is argued that leasers viii handle the
ore more economically and carefully,
sorting ii thoroughly into different
grades. cutting out all waste material
and thereby saving not only the ex-
ems OF transporting worthless OK
to the mill but cost OF treating also
stun that has no value.
Another fact is obvious also and that
Is that nearly every property produces
sone ore which may be considered high
grade. If the ore is mined carefully it
IS found that q certain percentage of

or in fiat blankets. viii run as high as
$50 to $50 per ton. which cannot be
considered low grade ore at all and
will be considered shipping ore any
where. At the same time q second
grade of ore running from Sc to s16
per ton can be mined which under mod

MEADE BANK CASES
NOW ENDED FOR GOOE

Deadwood. July 14-With the sem
fencing of Henry E. Perkins to the
penitentiary end the adjournment of
court at Sturgis until September, the
criminal cases resulting from the fail
ure a year and a half ago of the Meade
county bank at Sturgis, have virtually
ended. There remains but two more
cases for trial, both of them on minor
charges, with the possibility tina one
will plead guilty to the technical viola
ton of the law and the state decline
to prosecute the other.
The Perkins case was the main eff
fort of the prosecution which succeeded
in securing a conviction. Frank Stew
art, of Buffalo Gap, one of the direc-
tors, and y. A. Mcpherson, of Dead
wood. former president, each pleaded
guilty to Indictments charging them
with permitting loans in excess of the
legal limit, a technical violation, white

son We're dismissed. HI. O. Anderson.
of Sturgis. a director, and Harold
Cooper. of Sioux Falls, a clerk, are
both still under indictments similar to
those against Mcpherson and Stewart.
but there is 9 strong possibility that
neither will be tried and tina the PROS
ecutton will rest satisfied with what
1t has already accomplished. Perkins
is taking steps to appeal to. the supreme

TAX COMMISSION is
IN SESSION AT DEADwooD

Deadwood, s.. D., July 12.-For the
particular purpose of forcing an equit-
able assessment of the Homestake
mining property, the state tax com
mission is holding a session here. The
completed figures of the Lead assessor
give the Homestake a valuation of
$S.2lS,925.61. Under the present as
sessment plan this should be the actual
valuation, but statistics are available
that the company has been paying divi-
dends on more than 5000 o 600 of stock
holdings and it is contended that the
company's actual valuation should not
be less than $25, 900, 900.
Heretofore the county board of com
missioners has left the raising of as
SCISSORS returns in cities to the city
council sitting as a board of euualiza-
ton, but States Attorney STREET. con
tended that under the new law the tax
commission could delegate to the board
of county commissioners authority to
raise he assessors returns from the
cities as we'll as the unorganized por-
ton of the county. The tax commis-
sion members listened to arguments on
this question and decided to agree with
the states attorney that they could
delegate this duty.
