A Prehistoric AXE.

One of the most interesting remnants
OF prehistoric lake in the United
States is that now known us Estancia
valley, which lies south of Santa Fe
and east Of Albuquerque, N. NJ. From
examination of the deposits in this Sec
ton geologists are of the opinion that
this lake existed at the same time as
Lake Bonneville. in Utah. and other
ancient lakes of the arid west during
the cold. humid glacial period. The
theory of the existence of an ancient
lake In the valley Is based on the pres
ence Of shore features and lake sedi.
ments. Sea cliffs. terraces, beaches.
beach ridges. spits and bars are found
on all sides of the lake fat at attitudes
between G.l00 and 6,200 feet above
sea level.-Argonuut.

they are quite ineffective against

yards. which is loo yards greater
than the range of the British field gun.
The defect of the hOwitzer is that
its shell is very heavy. and conse-
quently much fewer rounds can be
carried than with the field gun. There
is no security that single hOwitzer

ordinary field gun shell. though 1t

CAUGHT After Lona Chase.

Desmet.-After having the patience
to wait a year the Kingsbury county
authorities secured the evidence
which has Just enabled them to land
an individual named Jack" Killen be-
hind the bars, where he will serve d
term Of thirty days for the theft Of a
watch from NJ. H. O'Hara. a farmer
Of k%ingsbury county. The theft was
committed last summer. Immediate
ly following the robbery Killen was
arrested on suspicion. but the watch
could not be found and as the author
ties were unable to secure the neces-
sary evidence against him they were
forced to release him from custody.
Killen remained in the country and
he was watched by the officers, with
the result that he was rearrested as
he was striving to pawn the watch
with a DeSmet firm. He evidently be-
lieved the theft had long since been
forgotten.

Sioux Falls.-After being discovered
by members of the crew of a Milwau-
kee railroad train, as it floated over
the upper dam in the Sioux river the
body OF Harvey Leonard, the 19-year-
old boy who was drowned at Second
island, was removed from the river
and taken to the Miller undertaking
rooms.
The railroad men thought when
they first saw the body that it was a
log but watched it until it passed over
the dam and they then saw that it was
a human body. They notified a police
man on the East Side and he sent
In an alarm to the fire department.
In the meantime q boat was secured
and the body "a picked UP as it was
floating toward the east shore of the
river near the Sixth street bridge.
The face was badly bruised and
marked, apparently by the obstruc-
tons which it had encountered in the
river. It is estimated that the body
travelled about three miles from where
the young man was drowned.
Coroner Miller stated that he struck
the body with a graphing hook while
searching for it and felt that he dis
lodged it but he could not strike II
again and he thought that the current
had then taken the body down tho
stream.

Bonanza Strike In Black Hills.

Deadwood.-A fabulously rich streak
Of telluride OF sy1vanite has just been
struck on the property of the Trojan
Mining company in the Bald Noun
tain district that is about the richest
ore ever found in the Black Hills. The
ore was roasted and the bubbles of
gold nearly covered 1t, a specimen at
tracing as much attention as in the
boom days Of the rich strikes. All
information OF the strike has been re.
fused, but the ore is said to occur in
a six-inch wide streak the length OF
which has not been determined. It's
value Is better than $4,000 per ton
gold. A specimen of the ore has been
sent to President Seaman, in Clinton.
Ia, and the development Of the streak
is expected to commence shortly. This
is the third time In the history OF the
Black Hills that s%ylvanite has been
found, once on the Pennsylvania prop
erty, near the Trojan, and once on

Sioux Falls.-E. c. Issenhuth OF
Redfield, S. D., chairman of the state
highways commission and father OF
the good roads movement in South
Dakota, who attended the silver jubi-
less and Homecoming celebration, de-
clared in an interview that, while
South Dakota is behind other states
In highway development, the commits
sion is optimistic because Of the re-
neWed interest in the work that Is be-
ing shown in every county.
One who has studied the facts will
lind that We have not progressed pro-
portionately with other States" he
said, but indications are now that we
are approaching an epoch of road
building such as this section OF the
northwest has never before seen. The
commission has been hampered in
their work Of carrying on an educa-
tional campaign by lack Of funds. The
fact Is not generally known hat the
legislature failedzto make an approprf-
alton for the work, although other
commissions Of no more Importance
to the growth and development of the
state have been given ample appropri-
ations.
Under the law. a tax levy can now
be made for good roads work. In 1912
less than $4,000 was levied by the
eve different counties which partici-
pated. In 1913 fifty-three counties
made a total levy of 1922, 900 and only
seven counties made no levy. That's
conclusive proof that the sentiment
for good roads is growing rapidly. I'm.
der the law, a levy Of 5 mills, or such
proportion Of that amount as the com
mission sees fit, can be made
The state highways commission was
created by an act OF the 1913 legisla-
ture. The present members are f.. c..
1ssenhuth OF Redfeld, Ben M. Wood
of Rapid City, and N. o. Monserud OF
Sioux Falls. So far the campaign Of
education has been carried on by the
members of the commission at their
own expense or railroad fares and no.
tel bills. At every good roads meet
ing held in the state a member OF the
commission has attended or can be
procured for lectures IN request to the
chairman.
The next big good roads meeting
will be held at Bookings June %
when the Winnipeg-to-the-Gulf road
will be dedicated by the commission
as State Highway No. 8. The road
from Clear Lake across the state to
Belle Fourche, state highway No. .,
and from Sioux Falls to %Iroquois, state

icated. Meetings have been recently
