In case this bill passes Congress it
will be necessary for the State Of South
| Dakota to enter into cooperative agree
ment with the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture respecting the du-
ties and obligations to be incurred by
both bodies. The Department of Agri-
culture will agree to improve the lands
for recreational purposes as far as the
means at its disposal will permit and
will extend fire protection to the area
in the same manner that is accorded to
other national forest lands. Permits to
take timber, either at cost or under free
! use regulations, will be granted to home
steaders and farmers, but no other use
OF the land or its products will be given
without the approval of the state park
commission The state must agree to
cooperate in the matter of fire protec-
ton and the protection of game, and all
necessary guards for the protection OF
game or the furtherance Of recre-
ational purposes, if an additional mum
ber is required, are to be paid by the
state.
The agreement drafted is only tenta.
tive, but it is believed that the secretary
of agriculture will approve it in practi-
cally the form in which it is outlined
above

SOUTH DAKOTA METAL


MINING IN 1919.
Preliminary estimates, made by Chas.
W. Henderson of the United states Geo
logical Survey, Department of the In
terror, indicate that gold mines in South
Dakota produced $5,39l 200 in 1919 as
compared with S6,565, 337 in 1915 and
$4,000 ounces of silver as compared
with l59, POP ounces in 1915 The ores
shipped TO smelters contained only nom
inal quantities of lead and copper.
At the end Of 1918 the Homestake e
mines and mills were operated at only
II per cent capacity. Shortage of labor
continued during the year 1919, but pro-
duction began to increase in April. Pro-
duction continued steadily until Septem-
Der 25th, when fire was discovered on
the S0O-foot level Later this fire reach
ed 7OO-foot level, and it was found neces-
sary to food the mine to the 600-foot
level.
While the mine was fooded-during
October and November-the operations
at the mines and mill were necessarily
curtailed, but they were resumed De-
cember lst The Mogul mill was closed
during the later part of the year, and
the Trojan mill was the only one that
was operated without interruption.
