GREAT SPROUTER
IS ON RAMPAGE
FAMOUS BEAR BUTTE ARTESIAN
WELL NOW FLOWS OVER
100000 BARRELS DAILY.

Rapid City, June 6.-The great
Bear Butte artesian we'll, which has
developed into the grandfather of
all artesian wells in South Dakota,
is running wild and strenuous efforts
are being made TO control it, This
will be done by Gaping it.
This was not deemed necessary at
first, but the flow of wafer has in
creased to such an extent during the
past 10 days that it has reached a
point where it is beyond control. The
immense amount of water flowing
from the well is cutting deep fissures
in the field where the well is located.
The owner of the land fears that un-
less the well is soon under control
his field of 80 acres will be ruined
and will be converted into a lake.
When the flow Of water was first
struck in this new celebrated arte-
sian we'll it flowed at rate of 5O,-
900 barrels per day. Recent meas
urements of the water show the flow
has increased to more than 100000
barrels per day. It is expected there
will be great difficulty in Gaping
the well and thus securing control
of the immense flow of water from
this great artesian spouter.
Farmers of the Bear Butte dis
trict have started a movement to
adopt some plan by which the inn
mense amount of water underlying
the district can be utilized for the
irrigation of crops and other farm
and ranch purposes. This would
necessitate the construction of res
ervoirs, so the surplus water from
this and other artesian wells TO be
drilled could be stored for use dur
ing the dry portions of each season.
1t is estimated that a good system
of reservoirs could be constructed,
and additional wells drilled, at cost
of not to exceed s21 an acre, esti-
mating an irrigation project of from
$4,000 to 10000.

Black Hills Reports
Much Mining Activity

Deadwood. June 6-This city is
again taking on the appearance of old
times. With two circuses, a large
carnival and big Fourth of July
celebrat ton i'm the early summer the
old timers say that things are taking
on an appearance of the days when
Deadwood was booming.
During the past week capitalists
have been in the vicinity of Dead
wood looking over various mining
properties and a number of deals
have been consummated. The Uncle
Sam mine, near ROubaix, consider
ed one of the best mines in the
northern hills, belonging to the Will
baux estate, was taken over by f.
w Talbot and associates. Mrs. Wi
baux and son OF Paris, France, were
in the city and completed the deal.
r. NJ Henderson, a mining engi-
neer of Silver City, Nevada, and a
number of Kansas City men were
looking over the Ofer holdings in the
carbonate district, with the intention
of purchasing if the property proves
satisfactory. Also a number OF min
es in the Spruce gulch district have
had visitors inspecting them.

GRAIN GROWERS
ENLARGE AREA
GREAT NATIONAL MARKETING
INTO NUMEROUS STATES.

Huron, June 6.-Word has just
| been received here from Clifford
| Thorne, general counsel for the L.
! S. Grain Growers, Inc, that all COM
plicatiOns have been removed which
for a time threatened to make It
impossible for this farmers grain
marketing organization to operate in
Ohio without going to the time, trou-
Bile and expense of organizing a sep
arate company.
hmm ediateiy after it was annOunc-
ed 10 days ago that the L. s. Grain
Growers, Inc, would not be given a
permit to transact business in Ohio,
because the laws of that state did
not mention a nOnstock, nonprofit
organization. Mr.. Thorne entered in
to negotiations with Ohio attorneys
and officials and has received assur-
ance from Columbus that the L. S.
Grain Growers, Inc, will be permit
ed to operate, because of the fact
that the law is silent insofar as cor
porations of this kind are concerned.
This solution of the Ohio situation
removed from the path of the Z. S.
Grain Growers, Inc, the only legal
obstacle that has been encountered
thus far.
States in which licenses have been
granted are: North Dakota, South
Dakota. Oklahoma, Kentucky, Kan
sas. Nebraska and Minnesota. In
Wisconsin, Texas and Illinois no Ii
censes are requested. In all other
states in which the L. S. Grain
Growers, Inc, expect to operate the
necessary legal procedure will be
completed as quickly as possible.
U. S. Grain Growers, Inc, con-
tracts will be used in Montana as
quickly as possible. This was the
substance of a resolution passed by
the executive committee of the I.
S. Grain Growers, Inc, in Chicago
this week, after directors W. F.
Schilling and Usher S. Burdick, and
J. R. Howard, president of the
American Farm Bureau federation,
had reported on an investigation
made in Montana.
The board also decided to leave
to a committee, still to be named by
President C. H. GustafsOn, the ques-
ton of marketing organizations now
in that field.

BUILDING LARGER
TO BE ERECTED ON CORNER
EGAN AND THIRD ST. =.

The Hayes Lucas Lumber COM
pany that has been in business in
Madison for the past seventeen years
have planned on some extensive i'm
provements on the corner property
on Egan avenue S.
All of the former building except
the large central shed are being torn
down to make room for a very large
storage structure that will face the
west and extend one hundred forty
feet east fro mthe Egan avenue cor
ner. This building will have a width
of seventy feet and will be of the
frame formation with an office 24x
40 feet fronting west and a large
basement and furnace room under
meath the main structure.
Provision is made for a driveway
into the building where thousands
upon thousands of feet of graded
lumber and mill work material will
be stored. Work on the project will
forward at once.
In order TO erect this large shed
it will be necessary to remove the
two north sections from the central
shed in the middle of the lot.
The building being razed are
about forty years old. They have
served their purpose well but the
company that has had headquarters
at WinOna have decided to build
better and larger in this city that
has shown a wonderful building pro-
gram the past two years.
This same company has a string
of twenty branch yards in this state
Besides at Madison they maintain
selling yards at Flandreau, Egan,
Lane, washington Springs, Water
town, Redfield, Miller, Brant, Es-
mond and other good points. L. H.
Blagen is the local manager and
through his business efforts the COM
pany enjoys a large patronage in
Madison and vicinity.

Twisted Lines Cause
Drowning Of Horses

Elk Point, June 6.-Lowell Pond,
a farmer living on the Missouri river
bottomland near here, had a thrill
ing experience and narrow escape
from death by drowning in the river
while cultivating corn near the edge
of the river bank.
At the critical moment when his
team of horses was within a few
feet of the river bank his lines be-
came twisted, whit the result that
the horses, the cultivator and him
self were precipitated into the swift
current of the river.
By strenuous efforts he managed
to extricate himself from the cult
vating outfit and reach a point OF
safety on the bank, but the horses
and cuitivator were lost In the wa
ters of the Big Muddy.

To Prosecute
Raid" Upper

Sioux Falls, June 6.-Prosecution
of game law yiolators is being con-
tinued by the offices of the South
Dakota Game and Fish Protective as
sociation, the latest move being that
against Bill Snyder of Lake Andes,
who is alleged to have tipped off vio-
lators on the coming of warden.
1t is alleged that when Deputy
Warden Martin made his visit to
Lake Andes, Snyder went over the
lake and warned the fishermen 70
throw away the bass. In this way
many escaped. and Martin was able
TO capture only six violators.
The association will prosecute the
case by employing counsel. 1t is to
be tried June IA, and Max Broyan
president of the game organization
expects to make trip to Lake Andes
to try and secure a conviction and
make an example of Snyder.

STATE To MAKE
SURVEY FOR OIL
UNDER ACT LEGISLATURE,
OKLAHOMA EXPERT ENGAG-
ED TO ASCERTAIN OIL POS
SIBiLFrIES.

Vermillion, June 6.-An oil sur
of South Dakota will be started this
summer by the State Geological and
Natural History survey, an oil ex-
pert having been engaged for this
work, and it is hoped it will not be
long until definite and authoritative
information can be given to the pub
lie on the possibilities of oil devel-
opment.
The last session of the legislature
made provision for this survey and
the state geologist, DR.. Freeman
Ward, recently engaged DR.. Roy A.
Wilson, at present with the Uniyers-
ity of Oklahoma to take charge of
the work. Doctor Wilson, has had
experience in oil survey work in
Oklahoma, Wyoming and Montana,
and is familiar with oil structures
in this section. He will begin work
July 1.
The geological survey believes
that, since South Dakota Is a new
field, il will require considerable de-
tailed field work preparatory To
drilling to determine its possibil-
tiles in oil production. The general
opinion among geologists every
where is that oil in some quantities
at least will be found in the state.
Unlike the findings of geOlogists
employed by oil companies. the find
ings of the oil expert of the state
survey will be given to the public.
The first report probably will be
published this fall.

Produces A
New Wheat

Claremont, June 6.-George II.
Pierson, widely known as the wheat
wizard of South Dakota, is this year
bringing out a new variety of dur
ham wheat which he maintains will
be one of the best adapted wheats
for this state thus far produced. 1t
is a bred up selection from Persons
Durham No. 999, introduced by Mr..
Pierson a few years ago and hailed
as one of the best spring wheats for
this vicinity.
The new wheat has been selected
for hardness, early maturing, big
yield and rust resistant. That it Is
one OF the most hardy varieties to
be had was demonstrated ON May 13
when every other variety was af-
fected by frost. Its other qualities
tions cannot be measured until near
er harvest.

COLORADO FLOOD
IS STILL RAGING
DAMS BREAK AND ADD TO THE
FLOOD STRICKEN Dis
TRICT.

Pueblo, Colorado, June 6-Rivers
gone mad today held the suffering
refugees of Pueblos flood in con
stant terror. Sweeping down the Ar
kansas a new wall of water let loose
by the breaking of a dam above here
struck the city another blow today.
Pueblo's population, its nerves al
ready shattered from three days of
fighting flood which took toll of ap-
proximately 80 lives and millions Of
dollars worth of property. Again ter
ror stricken troops racing with death
rushed in all directions to warn in
habitants of the oncoming five foot
wall of water. Women and children
taking their first sleep since Friday
were ordered 10 higher ground. En-
gines raced up and down as far as
tracks remained shrieking their si-
rens. Water after rising rapidly ear
ly today reached its crest and began
TO subside about Z a. NJ. 1t did not
reach the high mark set by Sunday
nights rise when a water dam 50
miles away broke Sunday afternoon.
The roar Of the Oncoming water
could be heard at the First Baptist
church, where United Press head
quarters were established. Although
the new floods have not taken any
more lives, so far as could be learn
ed, they completely stopped relief
work and added to the danger of pes
thence and disease. Diptheria and
pneumonia already have broken out,
particularly among children suffer
ing from exposure. The city was
without light, heat. water, fuel, bed
ding, clothing, and the food supply
was running short. The waters were
rushing down the Arkansas river bed
today threatening other cities below.
Dodge City was endangered this aft
ernoon, flood waters rapidly ap-
preaching that town.

market closing steady at net adj
vance of ID to ID points.
In the absence of more active sup
port prices eased off few points

Southern selling. This was by no
means active or general, however,
while there was less liquidation after
the previous day, and the market soon
frmed up on Liverpool buying. at

The weather in the South continued
favorable, leading to expectations that
