GAME PRESERVE LAW
Game Preserve is Held Up For Time..Lacks
Emergency Clause.

LWSl SSHSy SiouSSs
Pierre, March 2S.-When the legis.
lature passed the act to make q state
game preserve of the state forest lands
in Custer county, they provided for
funds to fence and stock the same, but
did not add an "emergency" clause, and
work cannot be commenced until after
the first of July, regardless of the fact
that the money appropriated is from
the game fund and is lying useless in
the state treasury. Warden Hedrick
is working out the lines which will be
followed in stocking this preserve, and
one of his ideas is that the location Of
a flock of wild turkeys in this timber
ed region would be good plan as one
of the features.

at Omaha where the largest loss of life
and damage to property was suffered:
Omaha, March % Fully 24O killed,
twice that number badly injured and
hundreds of thousands of dollars worth
of property destroyed, briefly tells the
story of the tornado which swept thru
Omaha and its suburbs at 6 O'Clock
Sunday evening in an almost straight
path four to six blocks wide and eight
miles long.
1t was by far the most appalling ca
testrophe that ever visited Omaha.
Throughout the stricken district the
streets are filled with masses OF debris
from wrecked houses and electric wires

The list Of known dead, although al

The storm came almost without
warning, the day which opened with
overcast sky, having cleared in the af.
ternoon.
The little town of Ralstor, three
miles west of South Omaha, irst felt
the fury OF the storm which there took
a toll Of half dozen or more lives and
it is reported practically destroyed the
town.
In northeasterly direction and in
almost straight line, it travelled with
incredible speed. wrecking many fash
ionable residences in the west Farnum
and Bemis park districts.
Many business buildings in the vicin
ity of twenty fourth and Lake street
were totally destroyed or badly dam
aged. Here the heaviest loss of life
occurred

brick remaining in the walls.
A pool room collapsed and the debris
caught fire. 1t is believed forty or
fifty persons perished there

storm seemed to veer little to the
east and finally passed over the state
line into Iowa at Carter Lake, where
many summer cottages were demolish.

IRRIGATION PROJECT
Bierwagen's Plan to Reclaim Region Near
Buffalo Gap By Irrigation.

DiSi "dkSh T'dil " NeSIdlHl NeSIOu wear
Buffalo Gap By Irrigation.
Philip, March 28-Dan Bierwagen,
we'll known rs rancher and alfalfa
grower, WAS in Philip Monday and gave
a talk to twenty-five business men, his
subject being the Bierwsgen irrigation
project. A map has been prepared
showing the proposed dams, reservoirs,
bitches and a portion of the irrigabie
tracts. S. H. Lea, who was South De-
kota's state engineer until the recent
change of administration, looked into
the project carefully and regarded it
as feasable Many of the business men
of this city, who at Arst thought the
plan wild one, we're convinced by Mr..
Bierwaeen's talk that it is practicable.
Congressman Eben w. Martin has
given the project endorsement, stating
that If it proves feasible after prelimi-
nary survey, the development could be
carried out by the deral government
under the reclamation act.
The principal dam would be located
across the Cheyenne river near Buffalo
Gap, 40 miles south of Rapid City, this
dam to be constructed of masonry at a
cost Of s2.500. 600 to 100000. A food
gate would form part of this dam and
when sand and sediment had collected
in the reservoir above the dam, the
doodgate could be opened and the sand
released, the current forcing it down
the channel of the river.
A transmission ditch would convey
the water from the masonry dam to q
point so miles northeast, emptying in
to a basin in the Badlands which would
be formed by the construction OF two
dams across outlets of an immense
natural reservoir. The capacity of
this basin, which is near the town of
Quinn. has been estimated by engineers
at more than 100000 foot acres.
From this reservoir near Quinn
which is 20 miles west of Philip and
about so miles east of Rapid City, the
main ditch would carry the waite,
northeast to the Hsrdingrove flats, q
miles north of here.
The business men Of Philip assem-
bled Monday evening and organized
for the work Of getting information al
to the irrigable area in this vicinity.
A reconnaissance survey has beer
authorized by the state legislature, ar
appropriation of $1,000 having beer
made. Mr. Bierwsgen will assist State
Enginee- Derr IN this work which will
start about May 18th.

Interest and pride in the growth Of

plant life. In our country the love
Of and the interest in arboriculture in
its various forms has developed the
custom Of dedicating one day Of the
year to its promotion.
In harmony with this custom and to
encourage the planting and culture Of
trees on our broad spreading prairies,

State of South Dakota do hereby desig.
nate Tuesday, the 22nd day of April,

people of the state to observe and cele-

shrubs, vines aud flowers about their
homes, along the highways and around
and on the grounds of schools and
other public buildings.
On the farms and about country

ARIZONA MINE TAXATION.

Notices calling on all the producing
mining companies Of Arizona to sub
NIT statements of their gross and net
production for 1912 as soon after the
, first of the year as possible, were mill
vi recently by the tax commission o.
that state. No detailed figures are re-
quired. The commissioners merely
want to know what each mine pro-
duced and what that production netted
after the costs of mining and trans
portation and treatment had been paid
The commissioners want this in
formation in order that they can pass
intelligently upon mine taxation bill
drawn by the companies themselves
and submitted to the commission for
its approval. amendment or disapprov-
al. THIS law provides that the mines
shall pay taxes on 100 per cent of their
net production and on IL IL per cent
Of their gross valuation. For instance
ii a mines net production is 100000
and it's gross production 1000 900 the
owners will pay on $500. 900 and ~ 1-2
per cent of $1,0O0.OO0.
Before taking any action in regard
to the bill the commissioners want to
know what percentage Of the states
taxes the mining companies wuold
have paid In 1912 had such law been
in effect They want to make sure
that under that law the mining COM
panies will pay their just proportion.

7oLO PRODUCTION IN 1912
WAS SMALLEST IN FIVE YEARS

The gold mining Industry Of thu
United States was generally normal In
1912, according to II. d. McCaskey OF
the U. S. geological survey, but early
| figures indicate the smallest produc-
ton since 1907. when the output was
$9O.435,700. In 1908 the output in
creased to $94,560,O0 In 1909 to $685.
c73,40O. in 1910 it dropped to $96,269,-
1907 in 1911 1t Increased slightly to
$9S,ss0, 900. but in 1912 1t decreased to
$91.6s5,16S. according to preliminary
estimates Of the bureau Of the mint
and the geological survey
The decrease is to be ascribed main
ly to Nevada, where there was a fall
ing off OF about $4,000. 900, chiefly from
Goldaeld and to smaller degree from
National and Seven Thoughts The
great 'Goldfield mines produced more
ore than in 1911, but the average grade
treated was considerably lower; the
mill at National was burned in Sep
TENDER and production was delayed al
Seven Troughs by cloudburst in
July. On the other hand the Manhat-
tan, Round Mountain and Fairview
districts somewhat increased their
yields. A decrease Of 100000 to $780,
900 IL also indicated for Colorado,
where, although there was an increas-
cd production from Cripple Creek Of
about 100000. owing partly to sue
cessful drainage by the Roosevelt tun-
mel and an increase In gold output
also from Gilpin county, there was an
estimated decrease In production of
about 100000 from the San Juan re-
gfon, including the counties Of Dolo-
res, La Plata. Ouray. San Juan and
San Miguel The bulk of the decrease
however, was from the Camp Bird
mine in Ouray county. as the output
Of San Juan and Dolores counties in

creases Of gold output of 100000 to
100000 are indicated. In Montana
there was probably a smaller decrease
The production Of gold was normal

that the mineral wealth extracted
from the mines Of Idaho is hardly an
appreciable percentage Of the amount
that still lies buried in It's mountains.
How may we discover and acquire this

us? What laws. both federal and state
will be likely Ia attract and safeguard
