INSPECTING LAND
Land State is Exchanging With United
States is Being Inspected by
Two Special Agents.

The land which the State ofSouth Da-
kota is exchanging with the United
States government in the vicinity OF
Custer is now being inspected by Messrs.
Morgan and Bush special agents for the
department Of the interior. Sections l6
and 80 in each township belong to the
state as school lands, aud the sections
within the forest reserve are being trad
ed back to the government for other
sections so situated that the state land
will all be in one tract. This area is
approximately twenty miles square, and
the object Of the inspection is to deter
mine whether any mineral lands are
contained therein. All lands taken up
previous to the creation of this tract by
settlers will not be included in the states
tract.
In this connection there is now a suit
pending as to whether certain lands en-
braced in this tract are mineral. Attor-
ney Percy II. Helm, of Custer, recently
had hearing before the Secretary Of the
Interior in which a decision of the land
office at Rapid City was reversed.
A group Of claims lying to the east Of
the tract, owned by c. w. Robbins and
James Demereau, two of the old time
prospectors Of that section among them
being the Copper Queen, upon which
they had done considerable work, and
exposing a large body Of copper bearing
ore. The land office held that an insult
tiCient amount of development work had
been done, and that therefore they could
not hold the claims. The Secretary Of
the Interior in passing on the question,
held with Attorney Helm, that the Ques-
tion involved was not whether they had
done sufficient assessment work, but
whether the lands were mineral or agri-
cultural. On the Copper Queen they
have found ore running as high as fifty
per cent copper, and have traced the
outcropping across the five adjoining
claims to the south. At the north end
of their Gains vein of porphyry has
been uncovered which assayed $3.50 TO
$3.50 per ton, with considerable silver.
Since that time the partners have com
Pteted their assessment work on all the
claims, so there can be little doubt of
their ability to hold them. Pioneer
