RECENT MINING DE-
VEL0PMENT IN HILLS
Immense Business Done in Black Hill,
Section.

(By G c. OlIARRA, President School OF
Mines, Rapid City)
The Black Hills since their settle
ment in 1875 have produced one
eightieth of all the gold mined in the
world since the discovery of America
If melted into one solid mass, the
Black Hills production would make
cube of pure gold approximately eight
feet high,
Mining and prospecting in the Black
Hills Is now more active than for
many years. The output of gold Ia
more than keeping up with expecta
tons and the mining OF some of the
rarer materials has been abnormally
active. Tungsten minerals, especially
wolfranite, have been receiving much
attention, the war demand for tung.
stem metal having raised prices to
wholly unprecedented figure. OF the
several carloads of wolfranite that
have been shipped nearly all have
Melted more than $4,000, some ap
proximately twice that amount and
one carload is said to have been sold
recently for approximately $4,000.
The gold production, as heretofore,
has been chiefly from the northern
hills, particularly from the vicinity of
Lead and Deadwood, and in the Ruby
basin-Bald mountain district around
Terry. Tungsten has been produced
chiefly as the property of the Wasp
No. 2 property near Lead and at the
Homestake mine at Lead. Much pros.
peCting for tungsten is being done in
the vicinity Of Harvey Peak and sew.
eral properties near Hill City and Key.

stake Mining company.
The output of the precious metals
for the entire Black Hills during the
year 1915 was more than seven and
one-half million dollars in gold and
more than one hundred thousand dol.
lars in silver. The total production
of gold and silver to date is more
than two hundred million dollars. The
production Of other minerals, includ-
ing the coal mined on the western side
Of the state line, is more than thirty
million dollars. The grand total pro.
duction of all mineral products there
fore from the Black Hills since their
first settlement in 1875 is more than
two hundred and thirty million dollars.
The geology OF the Black Hills Is
OF varied nature and few countries

river and the large amount of unOCCu

the river on the east side can be rarely
secured at less than $25, much unim
proved land west Of the river can be
purchased as low as SIP, and in the i'm
proved sections splendid farms may be
purchased at 500 to $25.
For about fifty miles west of the
river there is a clay formation differ

FORTUNES MAY BE
MADE IN THE SOIL
Farm Yield for Last Year Added S4O7
in New Wealth Per Capita.
tBy CHARLES McCAFFREE. Commits
sioner of immigration State of
South DakOtaO

The farms of South Dakota pro
wealth of $407.07 per capita. including
all the population of the state That
is leaving out out of consideration ey-
cry source of income except the farms
The grain, stock, dairy products and
farm produce alone brought to the citi-
zens of our state this s407.07 for every
man, woman and child who resides In
the state, whether on the farm or not.
That means an income for the average
family of five amounting to $2.035 .35
for the farm products besides the re-
turns from our very large mining, and
other commercial and industrial pur
suits. South Dakota has led all the
production of new wealth per capita
and 1915 surpasses her own record.
This is a very fine present condition,
but the future looks brighter yet. With
much Of our agricultural land still in
its virgin condition, and with the first
settled farms still new and not de-
pleted in soil fertility, with the better
knowledge ana improved systems OF
farming, the production Is increasing
and while there is also a substantial
increase in the number Of farmers dur
ing the present year, enough new soil
will be subdued to Offset this.
The winter just passed, with freez-
ing in the early part Of the season and
with considerable snowfall, is good
preparation for fortunate season, and
now as the green grass begins to show
in the meadows and upon the hill
sides. and as the seeders are busy get
ting in the crop, we may look forward
with as confident reason for the bright
est hopes as South Dakota has expert
enced at least for many years. This
would seem to be a fortunate time to
connect up with the splendid opportu.
