Harding county, conceived during
the last session of the state legis-
lature, was officially born on June
10Th, and the occasion was annOunc-
ed to the state in all the pOmp and
glory that the progressive citizens
of the new county could summons.
With the birth Of the county also
came the establishment of a county
seat, and the little town of Mos
querO, where the celebration was
held, was duly created the capital
of the new county. That this was
real event in the history of Mos
querO, was fully realized, and the
little town was determined that"t
should be fittingly celebrated. Two
days were set apart for the celebra-
ton and a splendid program was
arranged, consisting of music, ad-
dresses, barbecue, racing, bronC rid
ing and other sports, so that every
minute was completely taken up. In
Vited guests, including Governor Me-
chem, Judge HOlloman, Senator Zinn
and ether state officials, came down
to assist in making the birthday
party one grand success

progress in Mosquero, which proved
to be very opportune, for in the
big tent the speaking was held in

addresses were made by Senator L.
IL. Mitchell, +. f. Gallegos, Repre-
sentative Beatty and Governor Me-
chem. The afternoon was taken up

made by Senator Zinn, Of Mora coun-
ty, the youngest man in the state
senate; Representative Malaquias

the musical part of the program.
Benz. f. Brown of MOsquero, deliv-
cred the address Of welcome. Races
occupied the afternoon program As
climax to the celebration a fine
fireworks display was given, and
about 5000 worth was used in th6
display, and with the conclusion of
this part of the program the birth
of Harding county was officially de-
clared. On Wednesday evening a
reception was held at the school
house for the Governor and the
newly appointed county officers.
This receptin was given by the la
dies, and light refreshments were
served.
While giving the account of this
celebration, we want TO pay our
compliments to the good people Of
Mosquero. Their hospitality was ua-
bounded and they did everything
possible, and under all kinds Of
handieaps, TO make the visitors COM
Portable. -

appointed commissioners met and
made preliminary plans for their
work. The following are the offie-
ers: County Clerk, C. h. Anderson;

TYNE That Has Vanished.

The Black hills prospector, that
unique character who has furnished
many theme for novels built around
mans quest for gold practically has
disappeared from South Dakota, e. c.
Yates Of Lead, S. D., declared in an
address before the twenty-third annu-
al convention of the American Mining
congress.
Passing of the prospector has been
due primarily to the fact, according to
Yates, that "the gold taken from the
mines does not have sufficient value to
pay the cost of production" He de-
scribed the gold industry in the Black
hills as being "in state Of disinte-
grafton"

The original Mason and Dixon's line
is the boundary line between Pennsyl-
vania and Maryland, as run by two
English surveyors, Charles Mason and
Jeremiah Dixon. during the years 176S
TO 1T67. Before the Civil war this
line was accepted popularity as the
dividing line between the free and the
slave states. The dispute between
William Penn and Lord Baltimore,
rroprietors of these two states, as
TO the boundaries of theirs domains,
continued over 80 years until in 1763
