EXPERIENCE WITH HOBOES ueer Glass of Men Flooking Into Broth Dakota Looking for Work. 1ANY OF THE ARRIVALS ARE A HARD LOT Such n Urmnnil for llnrvcM Help Xcvcr Ilcforc Known Town * Almost lcrrtr l hy the .Mnlc Population. SIOUX FALLS , S. D. , Aug. 17. ( Special. ) Now that harvest Is nearlng completion he scarcity of help In the harvest fields hrou&hout the state Is not so acute as It was a week or two ago , although In some ocalltlcs a scarcity still exists. The rail- oads responded nobly to the demands of the armcrs for harvest hands , and thousands f men have been brought Into South Dakota rom outside points , and those who were eally anxious for work were speedily en- aseil by farmers at high wages , which still irevnll. The towns of the state also con- rlbuicd a large number of men to the harvest fields , and the result Is that the carclty of laboring men has extended to the owns , In many places public Improvements > elng temporarily at a standstill until work n the harvest fields Is completed and suf ficient help can be secured to continue and complete Iho Improvements. The following Items show the prcJcnt con- Illlon throughout the state with respect to he great number of harvest hands employed , ho liberal wages offered and paid , the ex perience of various farmers with members of the genuine "hobo" class who always oln the Influx of honest laboring men , and although seemingly not anxious for work themselves , remain In the state In hopes of having "rich picking" by fleecing honest men out of their earnings , Cyrus Ingham , a Hughes county farmer , has been trying to employ a farm hand for three months at $40 per month and board. He offered the place lo a Iramp , who refused it , saying It would cost $4.50 per day to enjoy the novelty of seeing him toy with a pitchfork. Farmers around Armour are still com plaining of the scarcity of help. It Is a poor hand who cannot get $2 a day In that section. Very few hoboes have passed through Hlghmore this season. This is regarded as probably due to the fact that the demand for hands In that section Is greater than the supply. "The average hobo , " remarks the Hlghmore Bulletin , "has no use for a country where work Is plenty. " llobocn Come In Drorc . At Madison it Is said the hoboes who are dropping Inlo town In droves are not beg ging for rations from house to house , as has been the custom In other years. They all seem to have a little money , and , In addition , work Is so plentiful that there Is no occasion for them to He Idle * . Nearly all of them go north from Madison , pre ferring to travel on than work for $40 to $43 per month. Many of the Incomers ore a hard lot , nnd not desirable farm hands. It Is estimated that 2,000 of them have passed through Madison this season. In the vicinity of Bowdle farmers found It difflcult to get the necessary help to take care of the crop. The wages are the highest that have been paid for several years. At Pierre the city authorities are unable to secure men to assist In putting In new water mains or to cut the weeds along the sidewalks. About thirty or forty of the "arfhy of unemployed" could drop Into good and lasting siluallons In Pierre If they would put In an appearance there. The Waterlown Kampesklan says of condi tions there and In that vicinity : "The trav eling gentry who are taking their annual s'ummer excursions.'th'ro'i sh 'thisVtate ' , trav eling on box cars , are demanding $2.50 per day for their services. "When $1.60 Is offered they want $2 , and when $2 per day Is sug gested they at once raise to $2.50. If you tried to hire them at $2.50 they wouldn't turn over their hand for less than $3. Every beer party shows the straits to which the poor fellows are put , striving to drown their sorrows rows In the cheerful 'growler. ' " The number of harvest hands arriving at Aberdeen is greater than during any like period for the last five years. The number needed has until recently exceeded the sup ply. Nearly 200 arrived In one day. Not withstanding the great Influx there are few of them loft In the city over night. The number of colored men Is larger than ever before. A great big hobo struck Vlborg the other day and said ho was looking for work. When told that he could get a. Job to shock grain nt $2 per day and board he said ho would not work at such a price , and that he was on his way to North Dakota. Later ho approached the town marshal and asked permission to start a poker game , lolling Ihe officer ho would clve him $40 or $50 for a three nights' run. The marshal told him ho had struck the wrong town and to dear out , which he did , heading for Yankton. One day last -week John Parson * , living near Hurley , got a couple of "harvest hands" to help him. They got their dinner , supper , lodging and breakfast , after which { they moved on. They set up ten shocks , each during the afternoon that they worlfftl. In seme parts of 'Marshall ' county the towns are dcserled 'by ' laboring men and all available help has been brought Into requisi tion In the harvest fields , and yet It Is said the supply Is not equal to the demand. The other day two strapping fellows en tered a Montrose newspaper office und alzed up the maps to find their -way to the north part of the state on their 'bicycles. Another party also declared It as their desire to go farther north for work , as they claimed. Upon being Informed that employment t could be secured anywhere around Montrose the mec held up their hands in horror. They evidently wanted anything except -work , and didn't propose to "go up against the real thing. " From Bridgewater It is reported that har vest help Is still scarce In that locality. The wages offered are $1.75 and $2 .per day. Sev eral fellows lurking around the water tank at the depot have refused offers to work at these figures. A tramp tiring of life and apparently ap palled by the great amount of work In sight understock to bang himself at Parker with one of the long ropes used in pulling Ice Inlo the cars. He was discovered and the at tempt at self-deetruction was fruslrated. At Esmond the scarcity of harvest help has Induced some of the 'business men to go to the rescue of the farmers. Landlord Hodgson and Postmaster Sheets are among thoee who have gone to the harvest fields and are doing valiant service. "A good many of Ibe hobo harvest hands are returning south and easl , " says the Dell Rapids Times. "There Is too much work In this part of the country for the hobo to bang- around long. He always wants to look for work where It Is not to be found. " AHHNiiniciit > In South Dakota. PIERRE , S. D. , Aug. 17. ( Special. ) The State Board of Assessment and Equalization has completed Its work for another year , and In the work has radically departed from metboda followed by former boards. In Ihe past the returns from various county officials have been used as a basis , and all counties brought to an average on the re turns so sent In. The most radical change on that line was taken on the advice of the attorney general , who holds that It la within the power of the stale board to In crease any and all assessments In the itate up to actual value If the board so desires. That as an assessment board of corporate property It is the duty of the board to atsei * luch property , and thezx to , * i an equalization and assessment board , to equalf \ta \ all other property of the state at an apportlonate value.

At the trial some sensational developments were had. It appears that Beaumont and Mrs. McCul- lough , wife of the complaining witness In the larceny proceeding , had a very warm attachment for each other. Mrs. McCul- ough went to Glldden , la. , a short time since , and from there wrote her husband hat she hnd decided not to live with htm any longer. Suspicious that Beaumont was nterested "in this , Mr. McCulIough began an Investigation , nnd In Bcnumonl's trunk 10 found a number of tellers from Mm. McCulIough which were veritable eye- openers to him. Ho also found property lotonglng to Mrs. McCulIough that strength ened his suspicion lhat ho and Mrs. McCul- ough were entirely too Intimate. Beau- uonl , who worked for McCulIough and ma'ln ils homo there , was arrested and at the preliminary examination the letters were produced , and were tnken as evidence lhat : ; o and Mrs. McCulIough had been entirely lee Intimate and also that n young woman who made her homo in the McCulIough family had nlso become Infatuated with Beaumont. It Is probable that an Investi gation bp the state's attorney will follow. Beaumont Is In jail. To I'urchnnc the Rlpcht of Way. SIOUX FALLS , S. D. , Aug. 17. ( Special Telegram. ) Colonel Thomas H.

( Special. ) The wonderful development of this mining district ( Is fast attracting the attention of mining investors , No boom hns ever slruck this camp and none Is desired , for the reason that this district Is substantial In every particular. The ore Is low grade , but the quantity is BO largo that It Is simply a question of sinking deep , thus showing up the ledge or vein , then building milling capacity to mill the ores. Most of the ores are con- * centratlng ores , but In many case ? from 20 lo 40 per cent free gold Is saved upon the plates. The surface generally shows from $1 to $2 per ton , but In all cases where the development work has been carried to n depth of 100 feet and over Iho values have Increased lo from $3.60 to $7 per ton. As the hllU arc usually from 150 to 500 feet high , ll Is nnlto usual lo run tunnels and cut the ledges or veins al a depth of from 100 lo 300 feel from Iho apex. It Is qulto common lo find ledges or veins from four : o Iwenty-flve feet wide nt Ihcso depths and in all cases where grcaler depth has been reached Ihe ledge or vein has been found , o widen materially. These statements have been proven by the workings of the Holy Terror , Keystone , Bismarck , llulllon , Hanger nnd Dig Hit mines. The Holy Terror U the only de veloped "high grade ore" mlno In this dls- Irlcl , and tills mine Is PO rich that up to date , having been operated for four years , has made mllflonatrcs of n number of men of moderolo menus. This mlno Is now working at the 700-foot level nnd retains Its wonderful richness , and has ore enough In eight to pay enormous returns for a great number of years. This mlno Is owned by John S. George and associates of Milwaukee , WIs. ICcyntoiic In Low Grnilc Ore. The Keystone mine lies alongside of Iho Holy Terror mine , but Is almost a perfect opposite from the ratter , as Ihe Keystone Is low grade ore , running from $3.50 to $7 per ton , nnd the ledge or vein Is from fifty to eighty feet wide. The workings have now reached the 250-foot level and the values are Increasing. This mlno was originally de veloped by ex-Congressman D. S. Hall , Lane K. Stone , Marcua Johnson and associates ol Minnesota , who recently soW this mine to the Holy Terror Mining company for a re ported consideration of $250,000. Bolh Iho Holy Terror and Kcyslone mines have mill ing planls of the lalest Improved machinery and additional capacity is being considered. The Bismarck mine Is situated a distance ol about 1,800 feet northwest of the Holy Terror and Keystone mines , nnd Is now working at the 200-foot level. This ere runs from | 5 to $8 per ton , and tholcdgoor vein Is now about twenty-live feet "wide and In creasing In width and values ns the workings go deeper. New veins or chules of ere are being encounlcred lhat produce "specimen1 ore. ore.The The Bismarck has the only purely concen trating mill in this district. This mill has a capacity of 200 tons per twenty-four hours and was constructed by Peck Bros , of Chicago cage , who completed the construction about thirty days ago , since which time the mil has been operating lo Iho satisfaction of the builders and mill owners. It Is reliably re ported that on assay of the tailings doe not show a trace of gold. This Is remark able , but Is substantiated by facts. The Bismarck la conlrolled by Mr. John Earth and associates of Milwaukee , who have expended largo sums of money upon their property and are now reaping their reward , much to the delight of the citi zens of this district , for Mr. Darin and his associates have the confidence and good wll of the community. Many other properties are In an advancc ( state of development , and all showing gooi veins and substantial values , among which might bo mentioned the Bullion , Big Hit Ranger , Lucky Boy , Columbia , Krupp an < Gold Hill , Egyptian group , Ida Florence Grand Island , Caribou , Golden Rod , Bellevue vuo , Tom Ouster , Cross mines , Verrlg mines Rex , Vulcan , Juniper , Psyche group , Silver Queen group , Whcelock group , and many others , details of which will bo mentioned later. Tylcoon Gronii of Million. Special mention should bo made of the development work now being done upon th "Tykoon group. " This property is ownei by Mr , Faulk , proprietor of the Cedar Uapldi Gazette. Mr. Faulk and family arc now so journlng In Keystone. The construction of the B. & M. rallroac into Keystone has commenced and will b pushed as fast as possible. This will glv to this district much relief from the burden some freight charges and Inconveniences o getting machinery Into this district , and wll give the camp an Impetus lhat will increas the population of Keystone and advance tb mining development of this district. A conservative mining man has prcdlctec that In ten years there will bo more mln Ing machinery In operation In Ihe Keyslon district than In any mining district of co.ua area In the United Stales. Fuel has been one of the annoying features of operation hero , but the arrrlval of the first train wll eliminate that vexed question , for coal wll bo delivered hero at moderate prices. Mr. John T , Jones , the well known Iroi miner of norlhern Michigan , has Iho ban on the Lucky Boy and Krupp and Gold Hll mines , and la expected hero soon to prepar for operations as soon as the railroad Is in Mr. Malony of Cripple Creek , Colo. , has ; bond on the Egyptian group. This Is con sldered a very promising property. Mr. J. A. Boggs , formerly of Minnesota has a bond on the Ranger mines and Is preparing paring for active work. Mr. Harry F. Chlpman and associates o Detroit , Mich , , have a bond on the valunbl copper properties of J. F. Darner and asso elates. This Is considered one of the mos promising copper properties In the Keyston district. Mr , Herman Relnbold of Omaha Is mining "spudcmeno ore" from thp Etta lln mine This deposit Is considered the most valua bio and largest deposit of "spudrnenc- the United States. The property covered by the Hurncy Hy draullo Mining company , known as Iho Har ney addition to Keystone , has been pur chased by 'Mr , John S. George and assocl a tee of the Holy Terror Mining company , and they have disposed of the right of way to the B. & M. railroad through this addi tion. tion.The The valuable residence properly owned by Mr. D , N , Swunzey and W.
