Superintendent Hall of the Ana
conda Mining company is shaping
things up for the beginning of work
on the property, and he hopes soon
to have operations started. There
have been some of the parties who
are interested in the property here
from the east and they are pleased
with the outlook for it. Some of
the principal officers are expected to
arrive in the Hills this week, when
the plans for starting development
operations will be made. At the pre-
sent time samples are being taken
from the ore body where 1t has been
exposed in the many workings on
the ground, and they are being taken
in a most comprehensive manner, 80
when returns have been received
from the assays 1t will be known
just what Is in the ground. Super
intendent Hall is confident that the
plans for development will embrace
the installation of some new ma
chinery and the keeping in the em-
ploy of the company a good force
of men during the winter, and by
the time spring arrives the ore body
will be opened up SO that 1t can be
made available for shipping or mill
ing on the ground of the company,
should it be decided to erect plant.
sss*Asss
Duylng the past few days water
coming into the shaft in the main
workings of the Custer Peak COM
pany has retarded sinking operations,
but Superintendent O'Brien Is conf
dent that this trouble will be done
away with so soon as they get the
big pump which they have installed,
running smoothly. What little work
has been done In this direction will
be supplemented by other develop
ments on the property, but the main
shaft will be sent down to the 500
foot level as rapidly as possible, and
when things are going right the prog
ress made will be good. The occom-
modations at the property for the
men employed are now excellent. the
old boarding and bunk house which
had been destroyed by fire some
weeks ago, has been replaced by a
more substantial and more COM
Portable building.
Several carloads of coal are be-
| ing delivered at the Puritan mine,
which is now In fine shape for steady
development. The coal is being haul
ed from the Puma station to the
property, and enough will be kept
in stock to run the works there dur
ing the winter. Sinking in the main
shaft is progressing and good head
way is being made. Everything
about the property looks good. and
those interested are confident that
| the work which is being done on II
will give 1t a development which will
leave it's large ore bodies available
for mining and hosting, so when the
time comes to start the milling plant
there will not be need of any dead
work. The property Is looking bet
ter every day and Is in fair shape to
make good the promises of those in
terested that the Puritan Will de-
velop into one of the best paying
propositions in the Black Hills.

5OO,OOO American horses and mules have been exported.
 Horses for cavalry should be rath- CT small, decidedly hardy and inteIi- gent" said Senator Pittmau today. "We have plenty of heavy horses for commercial use, but the auto truck has largely done away with their mili- tary value. What is needed is a sup ply of ponies able to do scout duty.
 "This breed is obtained by the crossing of thoroughbred and western plain stock. The cooperation of breeders of the Eastern thoroughbred states with western growers, under the supervision of the federal govern ment, is required. There is no feature of the preparedness program more pressing than the creation of a suit able cavalry horse type"
 The $2OO,OOO sought by Pittman is under consideration by the appropria- tions committee.

WHY THAT LAME BACK?

That morning lameness- those
sharp pains when bending or lifting,

will make no mistake by following
this Grand Rapids residents example.
Mrs. NJ. S. Moran, 938 First St. N,

severely by my back I could hardly
walk at times and was often laid up
with rheumatic pains and lameness in
my back. One box of Doan's Kidney
Pills practically cured me. I take a

the steamer was hauled to fires by man
power. Later the city paid $500 to the
first team that reached the engine
house and worked during the fire This
system proved very unsatisfactory
At the time Mayor Geo. L. Williams
succeeded in organizing the first le-
gal east side fire department, in 1888
Since Feb. 1898 the city has maintain
ed a paid fire team up to the pres
ent time. The city pays $1400 annu-
ally to the fire departments, which is
divided equally between the east and
west side companies. The companies
also receive 2 per cent of all fire in
surance premiums collected in this
city. If fireman misses a fire he
is fined $500. If an alarm is sounded
and the team does not leave the en-.
CINE house, any member that does not
answer to roll call is fined $100 He
is also fined $1.00 if he does not at
tend the regular monthly meetings of
'I-C COMPANY. Inc uISS VI Cie COIil-
pany amount to 10c piece per month
which goes into the general fund.
When donations are made to the COM
pany by business interests where the
company has fought fires the same
is turned into the treasury of the corn
pany and at the end of the year is
prorated to the members. Those most
regular at meetings and fires receive
the larger share of the funds Of the
company. The cities of Centralia and
Grand Rapids, were consolidated in
March 1900, as Grand Rapids. Since
the waterworks were put in on the east
side in 1902 under Mayor Wheelan's
administration, the Steamer has been
kept for emergency work. The fire
protection of the city is above the av-
erage of cities the population of $500
same as Grand Rapids, on account Of
the Wisconsin river running thru the
center of Grand Rapids as an album
dance of water is always at hand. The
city has three sets of pumps at the
foot of Third street south and 1 set
at the east end of Oak street. These
pumps are operated by electricity.
With the old Centralia steam pump
ing station with two pumps, the same
is always ready for emergency. In
case of accident to all of these there
are the Hydraulic pumps belonging to
the Consolidated Paper Co., to be US
ed.
With all due respect to the present
efficient volunteer fire company, to us
it seems like a joke for city the size
of Grand Rapids, with her boosted
wealth and Progress to not have at
least decent barn to house the team,
and nearby the hose wagon. Of
course we ought to have partial paid

EAST SIDE FIRE
DEPARTMENT
Organized in 1888, With 22 Charter Members

The first legally organized fire de-
partment of the old city of Grand Rap
ids, Wisconsin, was organized in 1888,
while attorney George L. Williams
was mayor. After the disastrous
fire of March 1873, which destroyed the
business portion of the city from
where the Bodette shoe store is now
located down the river bank to the
Spafford buildings, where J. R. Ra-
gan's furniture store is now located,
the city decided to invest in a fire
fighting apparatus and in September
1873, the city received their first fire
fighter which was fine fire steamer.
This steamer has been remodeled and
is in first class condition now. D. NJ.
Huntington, the expert mechanic, tax
idermist, chicken and bee fancier, has
had charge of the fire steamer as en-
gineer during the past 35 years. Some
record, Ell? The following is a list
of the charter members of the Fire
Department of the East Side: Wal
ter L. Wood, VIM. Martin, E. T. Bo-
dette, John Codding, Sr., David KAN
merer, Eugene Miller, Mark Martin,
George Huntington, VIM. Scott, Jr.,
Dwight NJ. Huntington, Theo. A. Tay-
lor, Mike A. Bogoger, B. Metzger, ia
cob Lutz, Jr., VIM. Kuntz, C. H. Goe-
thia, H. Lubbock, Ed. Spafford, Edward
I. Philleo, Fred w. Kruger, L. J. Lang
don, and A. J. Hasbr0uck. The only
charter members that are now mem
bers of the east side fire department
are Dwight NJ. Huntington, engineer,
and B. Metzger, President, John Henry
the present efficient driver of the east
side fire team has been on the job as
driver since Feb. 20, 1893. John is
faithful and some "stayer"-24 years.
The present company consists of ne
following: Jesse Wagner, S. A. Rim.
lehman, Frank Wagner, Edward ].
Philleo, Frank Henry, Gus Schuamn,
A. B. Bever, John Henry, Dwight NJ.
Huntington, VIM. Bodette, Lewis
Schroeder, B. Metzger, August c. Mil
Ter, and VIM. Burchell. The officers
are B.. Metzger, president; A. B. Bev-
er, secretary, and VIM. Burchell, trea-
surer, E. I. Philleo, Chief; Gus. Schu-
man, assistant chief.
From the time the city purchased
the fire steamer in 1873 up to 1888,
there was no regular organization
worth while At that time, (1888), the
east side had about 1900 population,
and nearly all of the business men
were voluntary fremen working with
out pay. Usually there were too many
bosses during a fire. After fire
there was a great deal of trouble in
getting the hose and steamer back to
the engine house. For time the
city paid $3.50 for fire for anyone
who would work at the fire. At first

of said ward and c. E. Mckee, edi-
tor of the Pittsville Record was elect
ed in his place. He sent in his cred
entails to the office of County Clerk
and the County Clerk when in Pitts
vile later acknowledged the receipt
of them verbally. When Mr.. Mckee
arrived here his credentials could not
be found, and he was compelled to
telephone to Pittsville for new cred
entails. This is probably some of the
efficient service that the County Clerk
has been rendering that we have heard
so much about during the campaign.
On account of the vacancy created by
the Chairman Seidel retiring, Henry
A. Thomas of Sherry, Vice Chairman
was elected chairman today to fill the
unexpired term. Following the cleo
ton of chairman, the bills were read
and assigned to the committees for
proper action.
