Lake Andes having prepared her peti,

county were trying TO arrange for a
county seat primary. A mass meeting
was held here, at which a report of the
local committee was made, and there
is some probability of the action of the
county commissioners finding its way
into the courts, as it is claimed that
they acted on a preconceived plan, and
practically refused to consider the pc.

Tungsten Shipments Set New Record

Deadwood.-While tungsten ship
ments from different parts of the west
are attracting widespread attention, it
is doubtful if any of them can reach
the record now being made by the
Homestake Mining company and the
Wasp No. 2 in tungsten shipments. The
Homestake located at Lead has been
producing tungsten for several months.
and is shipping about $4,000 Of this
metal monthly. The Wasp No. 2, To-
Gated just south of here, has been ship.
ping tungsten since last fall and its
last shipment was valued at about
500, 900, which is claimed to be the
most valuable single shipment of tung,
stem yet made in the world. Since
the shipment was made the unit price
of tungsten has advanced to S110,
which would make the same shipment
today valued about $40 1000. The
company is controlled by Deadwood
and Lead men.

tracted with the Imperial Canneries,

operating company of Montreal, for the
delivery of 900, 000,000 one pound tins
of beef stew for the British army. Each

cations, eight ounces of beef, four
ounces of rice, one ounce Of beans, one
of onions. one ounce Of carrots and one
ounce of liquid. Announcement was
made here yesterday of the signing of

150,000,000 pounds of rice, several mil
