RICH MINERAL STRIKE
IN CUSTER COUNTY

westcIife, May ls.-An assay re-
port from sample of ore from the
Herman mine in Custer county would
indicate that the property was devel-
oping into a fabulously rich propo-
sition- This sample gave the enor-
nous values OF 1880 ounces silver
and 27 ounces Of gold per ton. The
sample was taken from a l2inch
streak about 80 feet deep. Such ore
is the equal of that in the Great Bas-
sick property when that property
startled the world and is perhaps the
best gold assay ever obtained from
any property outside the Bassick in
Custer county.

HARVEST HELP BEYOND
NEEDS AROUND ABERDEEN

Aberdeen. S. D.. Aug. 2S.-Work in
the harvest fields for 1854 men was
furnished by the harvest labor bureau
of the commercial club here this year
and it is estimated that from $4,000 to
10000 harvest hands made Aberdeen
their headquarters during the harvest.
There has been very little crime here
this season as compared with other
years. Fifteen gunner have been ar
rested and are either serving time in
the county Jail or in the state peniten-
tiary at Sioux Falls. The fact that
Aberdeen has been a dry town since
July 1 is given as a reason for this
falling off in the number of crimes
committed during the harvest season.
The supply of men to take care of
the harvest was ample all through this
section. A wage of $3.50 for a 10-hour
day prevailed, n only one case of
employment bureau fakes came to the
attention of the harvest labor bureau
here. This was where an employment
agency in Minneapolis charged men 50
and told them to go to Aberdeen
where farmers would be waiting to
grab them for $3.50 a day. The mayor
of Minneapolis is reported to have re-
voked the license of the agency re-
sponsible for this.
