SCHOOL OF MINES ISSUES
A NOTABLE BULLETIN

The State School of Mines at
Rapid City has just isued notable
bulliten descriptive of the White
River Bad Lands of South Dakota,
and the school has been good
enough to send the Pioneer-R Review
a copy.
The bullitcn contains several
hundred pages of descriptive mat
ter covering the geological history
of the Bad Lands and their pres
ent aspect and significance, and
also more than one hundred full
page cuts and plates illutrative of
the text.
Considering everything this bull
liten is probably the most signifi-
cant publication the school has
ever made, and is credit to its
author and compiler, Dr. G. G.
O'Hara, the president of the school.
The Bad Lands, so near at hand
that they do not arouse much in
terest from most of us, are of very
great Importance to the whole
scientific world. The huliten will
carry recent knowledge to Libraries
and school everywhere, and the
school is to be congratulated upon
its publication.

CIRCUIT COURT NEXT WEEK

Tn regular Spring term of cir

convene in Philip next week, Tues
day fixed by the statute for court
this county each spring. Judge
Hughes will be up from Ft. Pierre
to preside, and it is expected to be
busy week for lawyers and liti-
giants.
No term of circuit court was
held last October on account of
the Philip fire, so there will be the
accumulated cases OF IN entire
year upon the docket to be cleaned
up at this time. Yet the grist is
not very large, and the. calendar
does not at the present time con-

There are not more than two doz-
en- cases all to gether on the print
ed calendar, both civil and criminal
for the court and for the jury. AS
a guess not more than six or eight
of these will be tried.
But it does not pay to guess too
much in this connection. A grand
jury has been called for the first
time in the history of the county,
and this body may add consider
ably to the cases to be tried before
they complete their labors. The

of the skill it requires and the con-

is a business. For real sport give

of perfectly turned balls and a
table with true angles and live
cushions.
