(From a Staff Correspondent
L.tNCQLN' Nov. lu. (Hpeclal.) The In
ability of the ;Ute authorities to make and
tnlorce nuarantlno regulations against the
spread of smallpox and other contagious
disease Ana revealed this morning at a
special meeting of tho State Hoard of
Health. The board limy advise and direct,
but It hiiB no legal authority to command,
Local boMfdit, however, arc empowered by
law to organize and Impom necessary regu
lations and upon them rests the respon
alblllty of enforrlnK their own rules,
The question of Mate authority was
brought to the attention of the hoard by
tho receipt of a telegram from K F. Dodd
of Long Pine, which reported the existence
of Mxty cases of smallpox In that place.
The message was directed to Governor
Favage. and In It the request was made that
the board assist In preventing tho spread
of tho dlsrase In that particular locality.
Governor Savage summoned the members
together and a meeting was held In hU
office at the Htate house. Governor Savage,
Attorney General Trout and State Superin
tendent Fowler attended and the matter
was given careful and thorough considera
tion. Long Pine Is a town of several hundred
Inhabitants, near the eastern boundary
line of Brown county. It Is tho division point
of the Kllthnrn railroad and as such la the
stopping place for a large number of rail
road employes and others who travel over
territory 100 miles or more, both east and
west. Smallpox was first discovered there
about two months, ago, but no alarm wan
felt by tho citizens at that time, A month
ago Superintendent Fowler was notified
that a meeting of the County Teachers' as
sociation Tvould probably be postponed be
cause there were then existing ten cases
of the disease and the authorities feared
to e.xposo thp teachers to tho dangors of con
taglon. Now there are. sixty cases and the
citizens are beginning to look about for
means to prevent further spread.
Ask Rlkhnrn o Anslat.
Assuming all the authority It could under
the law, the board this morning communi
cated by long distance telephone with the
Elkhorn railroad officials at Omaha and
requested that no train bo allowed to stop
at the town until tho disease Is stamped
out. Were It not for the fact that Long
Tine Is a division point tho railroad au
thorities would comply with the request,
but as It Is they say It wilt be practically
Impossible to run their trains through tha
place without stopping. They still have the
matter under consideration, however, and
may yet see tbelr way clear to do as asked'
by the board. Direction was also given for
the formation and enforcement of rigorous
regulations by the local hoards' of Long
Pino ard 'Drown county.
Word received from the railroad of
ficials tonight that there are only thirty
five casjs In Long Pine at present. Infor
mation from the same source was to the
effect that schools In the town had been
closed and ill public meetings postponed.
A. law passed .by, the last legislature pro
vides that 'the county boards shall have
power to make and enforce regulations' to
prevent the Introduction and spread of
contagious, Infectious or malignant dis
eases Into the unincorporated territory of
the county nnd to make and enforce quar
antine regulations for that purpose and to
establish a board of health. Under this
section of the law the flrown county au
thorities may take action with a view to
confining the disease where It now exists.
Cities of all classes, from tho metropolitan
to the village, are likewise empowered to
make their own regulations nnd enforce the
same and to creatn local boards of health,
whoso jurisdiction shall extend to five miles
beyond the corporate limits of their city.

The State Hoard of Health Issues the
fallowing circular by Dr. Townn of Omaha
rclatlvn to smallpox regulations:
While sanitarians Hml dermatologists the
country over have unhesitatingly marie
their declaration, mid the opinion of the
American Medical association at St, Paul,
In June last, was practically unanimous In
declaring out epidomlo to bo. smallpox, tho
chief dlttloulty In our state for over two
yearn has been Its diagnosis.
"I find It difficult to persuade some phy
sicians, even, that smallpox enn be ml d."
was the remark two years ago of Dr. (.' O.
Probst of Columbus, t)., permanent secre
tary of the state board nnd of the Ameri
can Public Health association.
80, then, when the physician rinds a cise
In nny community with the following hl
tory, it should, be declared to be smulipox
and so reported to the Hoard of Health.
1. A primary stage of two to four days
of 'malaise, with headache, backache nnd
possibly vomiting and glddlnc, with a
temperature of 101 to 106 degrees,
2. Followed by a shotty, papular eruption,
first upon (hci and hands (when the patient
should be Isolated), inter upon trunk and
extremities and finally upon palm nnd so e.
3. Which In two days becomes vesicular,
some of the veslclon umhlllcated and later
pustular, with areola about them, particu
larly upon thn legs.
4. When the fever, which disappeared
with the onset of tho eruption, often ie
nppenrs, particularly In the severer cases,
though wholly absent In the mllitext cases.
5. In ten ti. fourteen days yellow crusts
form over tho eruption and turn brown and
dry, and upon desquamation have Infil
trated purple spots, or upon the face, tern
rotary warty elevations nnd sometimes
pits.
Patients with this history, however mild
In form, and persons intimately associated
with them after tho eruption U established,
should bo nunrnntlned with their own
household, or nt an Isolation hospital, no
one beside the physician to go to or from
the anie except upon certificate of the
local rtonrd of Health, and In this cass
with thorough disinfection.
The premises should be placarded with n
sign proclaiming (no disease Hinnllpnx. No
effects should hp romovet! from tho pine
nnd nece.isltles should bo left thlrtv fret
from the house, to be r moved to the' house
later, rhls iiuarantlno should be raled
when the last unite has ended, and when,
upon consultation, the physlc'nns of the
local board and th family think It sife.
- and then with thorough dUluff otlon under
the supervlflon of the local board,
When several families hi a community
are MilYerliiB fi.im smallpox It frequently
becomes the duty of the Hoard of Health
to order the closing of schools and churches
and forbid nil public gatherings
Disinfection should occur under the niner
vlslon of the Hoard of Health when the last

states are honorary members, but an error
In the mailing list has given the honor
In this state to Senator Dietrich, Instead
of Governor Savage, This Is because of the

The new Joint freight house of the Mis
souri Pacific and Rlkhorn railroads at Sev
enth and S streets will be ready for occu
pancy Tuesday morning. The work of
construction was completed tonight and to
morrow tho painters will put , on the finish
ing touches. Including Incidental expenses,
such as for the rearrangement of the yard,
etc., the depot has cost 150,000. It Is built
after the most approved plans of freight
house construction, and Is said by the
architects to be the largest, as well as the
most Improved depot, In the state. Tho
main freight room will be over 300 feet In
length nnd alxty feet In width. The offices
will bo In the front of the hulldlng. which
faces on S street, nnd will occupy two
floors, one-half of the space being assigned
to each company. The railroad yard has
been filled and the tracks raised five feet,
which necessitated the importation of over
1,000 carloads of earth and cinders.
Under tho new arrangement tho Missouri
Pacific and Elkhorn railroads have the best
passenger and freight depot facilities In
the city. Their passenger depot was com
pleted two years ago, and although not as
largo as tho other, is better adapted for
passenger service.
The officials of the railroads are con
sidering a proposition to open tbelr new
building with an entertainment of some
sort, probably of a kind that would glvo
the public a chance to dance over the wide
expanse of tho now smooth floors.

MINING IN THE BLACK HILLS
HitMin Farlnni Coapaij Will Iiild Iu
Mills Ihii Month.
MILLIONS IN ORE ARE BLOCKED OUT
Aider Creek Concern Soon to fie
Active Pennington County Del
Promises Well erpnper Mmi
Develop Mnntnnn Scheme.
LEAD, S. D., Nov. 10. (Special.) The
Hlddon Fortune Mining company Is arrang
ing to build Its mills at Belle Fourche some
time this month. Sufficient ore has been
blocked out to give a guaranty of a con
tinuous run and enough atock has been sold
to pay for the erection of the mills. Ilelle
Fourche has been settled upon as the placo
for the mills, For a time there was pros-,
pect that the mills would go to Rochford.
In Pennington county, on Rapid creek, but
II. J. Mayham, general manager of the
company, puhllcly announced that they
will be erected at Belle Fourche on tho
Belle Fourche river, which Is the principal
stream of water In the Black Mills.
It Is likely 'that the water used for the
amalgamation of the ore will be taken from
artealan wells, which can be bad at a shal
low depth at that place. The ore will have
to be hauled twenty-eight miles down hill
over the Fremont, Elkhorn A Missouri Val
ley road. A mill site of eighty acres has
been bought next to the river. A flume
twelve feet wide and four feet deep brings
water In three miles from Redwater and It
Is estimated that 2,000 horse power can thus
be generated for power for the mills. The
railway corqpany has agreed to build all
necessary spurs to tho mine and mills and
to haul the ore for less per ton than th
Homestake company has to pay for bring
ing the water In from the different creeks
to the mills In this city. It Is asserted that
this price will be something like 30 cent
per ton freight. Coal will be about one
half the price at Belle Fourche, at the
Homestake mills, on account of the near
ness to the Hay Creek coal mines, twenty
miles west of Belle Fourche. This Hay
Creek coal Is used entirely on the North
western road In thn Hills for steam pur
poses. Work MUe the Homestake'.
The Hidden Fortune company Is to build
a largo stamp mill with n cyanide annex,
to be worked exactly' like the Homestake
company's mills. Since the Hidden For
tune company has an extension of the
Homestake oro veins, It Is to be expected
that thn treatment of the ore will be prac
tically the snme ns that used by the Homo
stake company. The Hidden Fortune com
pany has $7,000,000 In ore blocked out In
the upper ore contnets, which rest con
formably upon the slates. All of this ore
will either cyanldo straight or free-mill
and cyanide,
Tho building for the new sixty-ton cy
anide plant south of this city, in the Yel
low creek district. Is enclosed and tho
Alder Creek Mining company will soon be
trentlng ore. The company recently bought
the Little Bluo Fraction and adjoining
lodes, which carry largo fiat shoots of
quartzlte ore, averaging In value $5 per ton
gold. It Is adjoining this property that
the Wasp No. 2 company Is making such a
success in oyanldlng the quartzlte ores.
An open cut Is being run on the Wasp
property, the ore shoot being thirty feet
thick and It Is possible to break down 200
to 300 tons of rock at one blast, at a coat
of a few cents per ton.
Tho Ohio-Black Hills Gold Mining com
pany has been organized to develop a block
of 475 acres of mining ground In Penning
ton county. The company Is backed by
prominent Toledo capitalists and tho deal
calls for over $2f0,000. The ground em
braced In the deal Includes the Mary Belle
mine and the Cyclone property, both hav
ing large veins of free-milling and concen
trating ore. The Mary Belle mine has two
separate veins of ore with a total face of
thirty feet, which averages about $5 per
ton gold, On the Cyclono ground there Is a
vein of ore fifty-five feet wide at the out
crop, which gives better than $4 at tho sur
face. The company has already hegun ac
tive work. It Is one of the most Important
mining deals that has been consummated In
the Black Hills this season.
.eninier Mnn' I'rojeel.
C. J. Burt, well known In the Black Hills
as a newspaper man In 1S77, Is In the city
Investigating the processes of ore treat
ment In uso here. He Is Interested In a
rich property In Montana, at the head of
Blue Cloud creek. He has been working
a four-foot vein of free-milling oro that
assays better than $12 per ton gold and
he came to the Hills to see bow the Homo
stnko company manipulated things. He has
Just organized the Combination Mining and
Development company under tho laws of
South Dakota, with F. M. Moore, a mall
clerk on the Burlington route between
Edgemont and Deadwood, and Dr. George
F. Hall of Chicago as Incorporators. The
officers of the company are to be: Presi
dent, George F. Hall; vice president, Dr.
B. B. Kelly of Red Lodgif, Mont,; secre
tary, Dr. E. E. Doty of Red Lodge; treas
urer, O. F. Llndqulst, Helena; general man
ager, C. J. Burt, the company will put In
new machinery and will work the mine
on a larger scale. There are places In the
vein where the ore Is almost a pure talc,
with free gold evenly distributed.
At Rapid City the National Smelting com
pany Is getting all of the ore samples It
can from the mines througnout the Hills,
that careful tests may be made as to the
value and character of the ore. Ten-pound
lots are being received every day from
the upper Hills. The management of the
company expects to have the new smelting
works ready for business In ninety days
at the longest.
In fen roll of Copper Ore,
The Copper Butte Mining company of
Custer Is putting down a diamond drill on
Its property, eleven miles northwest of
that place, In icareh of copper ore. There
Is a strong vein of low grade copper
pyrites, which Is traceable for many miles
through that part of Custer county. The
drill Is down about 100 teet In a copper
pyrlte that Is nearly rich enough to pay
treating expenses, Prominent capitalists
nf Chicago, Minneapolis and New York are
backing the enterprise.
It Is reported that the North Star Mining
company of Omaha will sink Its shaft an
additional 200 feet this winter and prep
arations are In progrets for the work. The
mine has several well defined veins of ore
that will cyanide well and the values are
reasonably high, All of tho money that has
beep put Into this enterprise has been
furnished by Omaha business men. They
propose to demonstrate what they have In
the property before beginning the erection
of reduction works of any sort.
SnlnniT' Hold I'rnpiMltlnn.
It Is north of this ground that the Sag
inaw Mining company has such an excellent
gold proposition. This company has or
dered a steam hoisting plant with which
to link a shaft 100 feet deep, There is a
terles of free-milling veins on this prop
erty which carry very rich ore.
The machinery for the new steam holster
at the mine that has been bought by the
Wabash Mining company, northwest of Cus
ter, Is on the ground and Is being Installed
as rapidly as possible. The entire plsnt,
which has air drills, was purchased In
Denver, and it is the third plant of the
same make which has been irought to the
Black Hills from Denver w hln the past
year. The Wabash company has a vein of
free-milling and cyanldlng ere about fifteen
feet In thickness, which will be followed
down.
The new shaft at the Crown mica mine,
north of Custer, Is down loo feet.
REUNITED TO THEIR MOTHER

MITCHELL. S. D Nov. 10. (Special.)
After being separated from her two sons
for twenty-two years, Mrs. Mary Doyle
has been restored to them. Only recently
the joung men learned of the whereabouts
of their mother and they lost no time In
reaching her side. The young men's names
are Fred and Oeorge Doyle, and they live
In Council Bluffs, la.
It was about twenty-two years aso that
Mrs. Doyle lay on a bed of sickness at her
home In Yankton, S. D., and there was no
possibility- of her recovery. She had thteo
little boys and was much concerned ns to
their future-. The ages of the boys ranged
from :t to , years. Neighbors suggested
that she dispose of her sons to friends,
and acting on tho suggestion she signed n
paper conveying the children Into kindly
bands and thn little fellows were taken
away and out of town. Contrary to all ex
pectations, the mother did not die, but It
was a long lime before sbe recovered her
health. The people who had taken her sons
had moved away and It was then Impossible
to get track of her children.
A few days ago two young men stepped
off the train In this city and. after Inquiry,
were ushered Into the room where tbelr
mother sat. Tho scene that followed the
recognition was one to touch the strongest
heart.
The boys told their mother of the years
of search they had made for her nfter
they had grown older. They departed this
morning for "their home nt Council Bluffs
and took their mother with them, happy In
being reunited to her sons. Thn Doyle
brothers have prospered and are mechanics
in a roundhouse for a railroad at Council
Bluffs.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 10. Thn Industrial
commission today Issued a special report on
an Investigation conducted by tho commis
sion regarding the cost nnd selling price of
Iron and steel products from 1S?0 to 1901.
The statement shows that In 1S00 the cost
of steel rails ranged from $29.M to $34,S2;
In nn from-$2U5 to $25.68. In 1S03 from
$22.65 to $21. S3; In 1SP3 from $19.25 to
$22.62, In 1S94 from $17.79 to $21.29; In 1895
from $K,.68 to $25.47; In I89S from $17.72 to
$20.69; In 1S97 from $15.91 to $17.62; In 1S9S
from $16.67 to $17.M, in 1S9D from I1S.11 to
$25.22; In 1000 from $36.12 In February to
$21.S3 In October; In 1901 from $21.64 to
$25.98.
According to the showing made there was
a margin In tho selling price over tho cost
price for every year from 1890 up to July
of 1898. In 1890 the margin ran from $2.73
to $3.50 per ton; In 1891 from $3.89 to $5.85;
In 1S92 from $3.62 to $7.35; In 1893 from
$1.75 to $8.19; In 1S94 from $2.71 to $6.21;
In 189.1 from $1.10 to $9.06; In 1896 from
$7.31 to $10.28; In 1S97 from $7.47 to $7.38.
In 1S9S the highest margin was $1.33, In
January. In July a loss of 5 cents per ton
Is noted, the cost price being
$17.05, as against b selling price
of $17.00. Again In June of
1S99, when the cost price was $27.62, there
was a loss of 37 cents. In July of that
year thn loss was $1.51 on a cost price of
$29.74; $1.15 on a cost prlre of $32.15 and
In September. $1.18 on a cost price of $33.98,
A loss of about $1 per ton Is also reported
for the months of January., February,
March, April and May of 1900. when the
cost price ranged over $36 per ton. Losses
also aro claimed on steel billets for most
of the year 1900 and for thn first four
months of 1901. A loss Is recorded for
every month In WS on billots. Losses am
recorded for the first three months nf 1900
on plglron. Tho lowest cost of production
for pig Iron wns recorded In 1894, when It
was $8.65 per ton. In 1900 the cost of
pig Iron was $15.35.
nirue the Prngrem,
Commenting In a general way the com
mission says: "Be) ond question thorn have
been steady Improvements In the methods
of manufacture, tending to reduce the cost
of labor and Incidentals per unit of product.
On the other hand, the advance of wages
from 1899 to 1901. especially ns compared
with the years Immediately preceding, no
regard to which has been given In making
up the figures, may In part have offset tho
reduction through tuch Improvements, In
nny case, the comparison as to costs will
not be greatly vltl.tted by Inaccuracies In
the Items ot labor nnd Incidentals, since
those represent a comparatively amall pro
portion of the cost of transforming the re
spective rnw materials Into the finished
products."
The variation In prices Is commented
upon ns follows: "Probably the most con
spicuous fact shown In the diagrams is tho
rapid and wide variations In the prices of
all three of the products compared, aid
most of all In the prices of pig Iron. Even
In earlier years, not covered by tho dia
grams, the price statistics show similar
sharp fluctuations. The diagrams here
with presented bring out the great and
sudden decline in the prices of alt three
products during the year 1890. This was
followed by a long and gradual fall, which
brought tho price of pig Iron down from
$16 nt the beginning of 1891 to $10 at the
end of 1891. A sudden sharp rise In tho
prices of all three products Is seen In 1895,
but this was followed by nn almost equally
rapid decline, and during 1897 and 1894
the prices stood practically at a bottom
figure.
When I'Ik Iron Snnrril.
"The rcost noticeable movement shown In
the diagram Is that during 1899, when the
price of pig Iron lose from $10 to $25, and
the price of rails from $17 to $35. Almost
equally sudden aud very great, however,
was the decline In the prlce-s of these
products, especially billets and pig Iron
during the latter part of 1900. Since that
time there baa been a recovery, whlchsj
leaves the prices of all these products con
siderably higher than for the years 1890 to
1898.
"The often sudden and violent fluctuations
show among other Indications, the great
changes in demand for iron and steel
products from time to time nnd the marked
.sensitiveness of prices to such changes in
demand. No very large stock of Iron and
steel Is usually held In advance and when
a period of prosperity causes a great ex
tension of tho uso of these products tho
mills often find themselves temporarily un
able to keep pace with the demand, whllo
buyers tinder certain conditions am willing
to pay almost any price.
"A noteworthy feature of the diagram
regarding steel rails Is the fact that th
selling prices for considerable periods of
time throughout the decade covered by the
figures have been held uniform, Thus,
through most of 1891 and 1892 the uniform
price named was $30 per ton; through
1894 It was $24 per ton and through the
latter part of 1895 and 1896 It waa $28 por
ton. This uniformity Is doubtless due to
the existence of pools from time lo time
among the manufacturers and the sudden
changes following the periods of uniformity
nrc probably explicable, not so much by
great changes In demand at the preclso
date of tho change In price ns by either
the breaking of pools or the determination
on the part of the managers that the pre
viously fixed prices were too high or too
low. It Is commonly stated In th9 trado
Journals that the nominal prices quoted
for steel rails are not always maintained
In practice, but that, secretly or openly,
sales aro being made below tbo quoted
rates.
I'linnKe I'lilloim ChniiRe.
"To a certain extent the changes In tho
price of rails are followed by changes In
the prices of pig Iron, but the more or
less nrtlrlclnl price of rails indicated In
tho diagram prevents this parallelism from
being as close as it Is In the case of billets
and pig Iron, Wo find that the cost of
rails, which depends largely on tho price
of 'the chief constituent, pig Iron, varies
much moro greatly from month to month
than tho selling price, while, on tho other
hand, it occasionally happens that a very
sudden change in the selling price of rails
appears, unaccompanied by any correspond
ingly sudden rhanges In cost. It naturally
follows that tbo margin between the cost
and selling price Is a much more variable
quantity In the caso of rails than In thn
cnBo of billets. The great Increase In the
margin during the year 1896 is noteworthy,
while still moro striking is tho fact that
from 189S to thn mlddlo of 1900" almost
no margin appears. During 1599 tho price
of rails did not Increase as rapidly as that
of steel billets and In Home months lagged
even behind that of pig Iron, so that tho
margin on rails for severa'l months In
1890 and 1900 was considerably less than
zero. On the other hand, tho price of rails
did not fall as suddenly In 1900 nt the
price of ylg Iron or the cost ot rails, bo
