During the last few days the holiday trarlo

book store of the city as anyone who hud
occasion to visit them would readily ob
crvo. A crowd mlRht be seen raot nny
tlmo of dcy carefully looking through the
many treasures to bo found on tho shelves
and making selections. This would seem
to Indicate that Omaha Is rapidly becom
ing a city of readers and that peoplo who
can afford tho luxury prefer buying their
books to drawing them out of tho public
library. It also Indicates the popularity
of books as Christmas presont. Most nil

Tho name of Henry Thow Stephenson
will probably recall n pleasant expcrlenco
reading, "Patroon Van Volkenbcrg." Mr.
Stephenson's name U now linked with .1
story of English llfo In tho eighteenth
century, "Tho Fickle Wheel," which Is
Just at hand. It Is a book to chain tho
imagination and lead It oaptlvo through
tho stirring events of another age and an
other land. Its scenes nrn clear and so
skillfully projected heforo tho mind's oyo
as to lllumlnato and famlllurlzo all ono'a
preconceived notions of Elizabethan Lon
don. Kings nnd queens, carls, proclama
tions, pageants and royal murders tako
their places amid tho setting which Mr.
Stephenson bus made for us; It Is all fa
miliar and yot It takes on a new Interest
from tho realities of this story. Wo can

HuIiik.
DEADWOOD, S. D., Nov. 17.-(Speclal.)
Many Improvements nre soon to be made
In the processes now In uso In tho Dlack
Hills for the extraction of gold ore. Five
years ago nothing wns known In the Hills
about tho cyanide process and tho only
wny to treat refractory ores was by the
smelter or tho chlorlnatlon processes. The
latter process has had Its day In the Dlack
Hills. Tho large plant that stood In tho
first ward of this city, owned by the
Golden Reward company, burned down and
It Is now being replaced by n 200-ton cyau
Ide plant. Tho ISO-ton chlorinating plant
nt Pluma, operated until a few weeks ago
by tho Horseshoe Mining company, has
closcil down becnuso the process was too
cxpenslvo for the ore. Rapid City also has
an old chlorinating plant that will nevor
again bo worked. The cyanide process has
supplanted the chlorinating process almost
entirely. Thero are certain classcR of re
fractory ores In tho Dlack Hills that can
bettor bo smelted und It will be many
years before a process will tako the placo
of that.
The cyanide process Is susceptlblo to a
great many modifications. Thero are
Brarccly two kinds of ore In the Dlack
Hills that nre treated by It exactly the
sumo wny. Each special ore requires a
little different treatment to get tho best
results. Tho time for the extrnctlon of
the values on Dlack Hills ores varies from
forty-eight hours to eleven days.
.SeckliiK n Wny to Snve Time,
There aro persons In tho Hills who aro
mnklng experiment to find a way of getting
not only a bolter extrnctlon of tho values
In the ore, but also to shorten up tbo tlmo
required In the extraction. Dr. J. A. Ogden
of this city has an Improved cyanide pro
cess that will shorten tho tlmo scvoral dnys
and It will nlso Increase tho percentage of
extraction, 10 to Hi per cent. D. C. Holey,
general manager of tho Golden Oato Mining
company, la now in Chicago, watting for
government patents for nn improvement on
tho cynnldo process. Ho clnlras that ho cnu
do lu six to eight hours tho work of ex
traction that requires by the old method us
many dnys. Ho proposes to revolutionize
tho treatment of Dlack Hilts ores by his
process. Ills company Is n strong Chicago
concern nnd It Is likely that after the pat
ents bnvo been secured for the process a
largo plant will be erected. The company
has ono of tho largest tracts of mining
ground In tho Hills, being located at tho
head of Dlocktall gulch, lu the Mat forma
tion. Thn cyanide process Is nearly good
enough as it is. When It Will treat ore
running an nvorago of only $4 per ton gold
nnd pay to tho company a handsome divi
dend, as Is being done by tho Wasp No.
company nnd as was being dono by tbo
Spcurflsh Mining company at the tlmo the
plant burned down, It would seem that tho
process has reached perfection itself.
However, the leading process men of the
Dlack Hills look for great Improvements
in the process as used today. They believe
that, owing to the fact that tho bulk of
the refractory ore cyanides so roadlly, that
It will yet bo possible to treat successfully
ore that tuub not moro than Is per ton,
when large capacities aro used. All of this
low.-grade treatment moans a hordo of min
ing companies operating In every mining
district or section, but has a certain amount
of cyanldlng ore.
Han a Mmiufiictiirlim Future,
The Dlack Hills Is bound to becomo a
great manufacturing country. A prominent
Denver mining man, who visited tbo Dlack
Hills last week, mndo tho assertion that
thero would be 100 Homestako mlnca lu
operation In tho Hills In the uoxt ten years
and that tho population would bo Increased
to 100,000 peoplo.
Tho Deer Lick Mlniug company has en
countered a fine shoot of ore on Iron
creek, twelve miles west of this city. Tho
tunnel is all In ore, tho face showing tho
shoot to be ut least seven feot high. The
company is composed almost entirely of
SpearfiBh peoplo. The ore nsBuyB better
than $10 per ton gold. It Ih a cyanldlng
proposition nnd tho company proposes to
erect a cyanido plant soon. A tost run of
160 tons of. pro was made at tho Dlbblo
mill on Smith creek, in tho Hornblende
district, on ore from tho Denedlct mine.
Tbo ore averaged $4.30 In free gold. The
vein in this mlno is over 100 feot wide.
It Is likely that the Montana mlno 'at
Nabaut will bo started up again. Thorc
has for several years been u family quar
rel over this property, two prominent New
York men holding nn equal Interest In tho
property. Tho matter has finally been
settled by ono of tho men taking tho pro
ceeds from all of tho machinery In the
mill nt Nahant for his sharo In the prop
erty. Tho machinery hns boon sold and
soma of It has beon taken to Arizona. Tho
mlno Id In good condition, having n large
body of good free milling ore.
The Dakotn Mining company, a Dead-
wood corporation, has made Its first cleanup
at the new 100-ton cyanido plant. Tho gold
brick weighed 625 ounces and was valued
at a llttlo over $9,000. This company hns
one of the surest things In tho Dlack Hills,
It Is estimated thnt tho nro reserve In Its
mines at Portland is 300.000 tons and It
la of good grade. The mayor of this city
Is president of the company. A complcto
cyanido plant was only recently completed
In the Fiist ward of this city.
Hon. Moses E. Clnpp, W. D. Lowry nnd
V. C. Reed, all of Minneapolis, havo been
spending several days In thn Dlack Hills
looking over the properties In which they
aro Interested. They own stock In the
Specln Payment company, which controls
the famous Gilt Edge mine, in tho Straw'
borry gukh district, east of this city, and
they alBO have some stock In tho Copper
Dutto Mining company, which Is develop
ing n copper proposition west of Custar.
The annual meeting of the Yankeo Dov
Mining company wns hold this week lu
this city, tho following officers having been
elected; President, Austin Mnbbs of Dcnd
wood; secretary and treasurer, W. L. Mc
Laughlin of Dcadwood. Tho company owns
200 acres of patented ground In Durno
gulch, lu tho Carbonate district northwest
of this city. Considerable ore has been
opened up.
The stockholders of tho Wasp No. 2 Min
ing company, which nre nearly all Dlack
Hills men, are receiving a regular monthly
dividend of $3,000 to $1,000 per month. Tho
mine at present Is running low in the grado
of ore, owing to tho furt that tho capping
lo tho richer oro Is being stripped olt und
run through the mill. Tho output Is over
100 tons of ore per day.
Wing Tsue, tho Chinese merchant of this
city, probably the only Chinaman lu the
country who dabbles In mines, has opened
up a fine vein of free-milling ore In tho
Garden City district. Ho owns a lnrgo
amount of mining claims In Iawrence
county and Is considered qulto successful
In his mining enterprises. Ho understands
mining well.

HURON, S. D NOV. 17. fSnnrlnl Ak
big crowd witnessed last week's gamo of
foot ball between a team from Mltcholl and
Publicity and the Trusts
Tho father who framed our constitution
did not dream thut u tlmo would como when
ono gontlemun, cruising In his prlvuto
yacht, would, by reason of a disturbance In
his stomach, raise tho cost of sugar for
iU.uuu.OOO of his fellow countrymen: thorn-
fore It Is left to the sons of our country's
fathers calmly nnd dispassionately to tako
hold of tho problem Involved in this re
markable transaction. Personally I am nf
tne opinion thnt tho root of tho problem
cannot bo reached except by a uniform law,
and from experience we know that a uni
form law can only bo passed by tho national
congress.
Tho trust question Is not nt all a now-
one. It has been agitating tho public mind
for moro than twenty years. Indeed, tho
protest against great Individual corpora
tions twonty-flve or thirty yours ngo was
the beginning of the present protest against
tho trust. Tho great question to bo solved
for tho futuro 1 that of co-operation versus
competition. Tho trust is a corporation
based upon tho Idea that tho more you
mako of nn artlclo tho cheaper you can
make It, and If tho producers who have
gone Into combinations and trusts had been
willing to sharo with tho consumer a rca
eonublo part of the savings effected by com
bination tho feeling now so strong against
tho trust would not bo abroad In the land.
Mainly, therefore tho trouble hns been
that tho moment combination has effected
a decrease In the cost of production the
combine, Instead of sharing tho fruits of
Its economy with tho consumer, has in many
cases advanced tho cost of tho product to
tho latter as soon as It became able to" con
trol the supply.
That tho stato has power to regulate and
control tho corporation and the trust Is a
woll-sottled principle of law, Tho legis
latures of the several statc fix tho rates nf
tariff ou tho transportation of passengers
nnd freight and tho supremo court of tho
United States In tho celebrated decision of
tho Munn-Scott case ruled that Munn and
Scott wero simply grain warehousemen and
owned prlvato olovators. Tho legislature of
Illinois declared all such elevators to bo
publlo elevators and llxed n maximum rate
for the storage of grain. The supremo
ourt of Illinois hold thnt although tho elo-
vator was prlvato property It Mood In thn
gateway of commerco and that tho legis
lature had a right to dcclaro It public and
having declared It publlo that It had a
right to fix tho charges,
This decision was sustained by tho su
premo court of tho United States and Is tho
basis of my proposition that when any per
son, corporation, combination or trust has
u practical monopoly on anything which the
publlo requires for Its uso (ho rates charged
for It may bo governed ami controlled by
tho stato from which thu corporation de
rives Its existence nnd powors, This Is ono
step In advance of the common law, on
which aro based the rulings hnrotoforo had,
For InBtanco, the cabman hns his rnto fixed
by Inw because he benefits by n public
franchise and lines tho streets of tho mu
nicipality; the ferryman hns bis rato llxed
because even ho Is given n monopoly within
certain limits of the river.

thereby placo them In unfair and unjust

'
Tho rcnl solution of this problem, so It
seems to mo, Is that a law bo passed which
shnll uniformly npply in all stntcs, and
affect all combluutlous, trusts und com
munities alike Tho only way to hava n
uniform law Is to have a national law, and
tha only way to havo n national law Is to
permit an nmendment to tho constitution
giving congress n power which It does not
now possess. Hy tho constitution of tin
United States tho power to regulate tho
Internal affairs of the
uiiuua buuub It
explicitly left to tho states Individually.
There Is only one law In exception to this
rule which congress Is empowered to enact
thnt Is, tho law of bankruptcy. Tho laws
for tho collection nf notes and bills, tho
laws of divorce, tho laws of fnrclblo de
tainer, differ In tho various states.
Congress has not beon wholly Indifferent
to the trust question and has taken somo
steps looking toward national legislation
on this subject. Whnt Is known ns tho
Habcock amendment wns 11 step In this di
rection. This contemplated the removal of
nil protective tariff duties from good
manufactured and sold In this country by a
trust. At that tlmo I was Inclined to favor
this movement, nnd I wroto nn nrtlclo com
mending It nnd Introduced In tho houso of
representatives the tlrst reinlutlon on thn
subject. This provided for nn Investigation
of thp effect of the protcctlvu tariff on

bridegroom to the effect that If his brldo
perished within tho llrst live years after

This terrible oath was faithfully obscrvod,
for tho unfortunato woman happening to
succumb after tho birth of her second child
tho husband blew out his brains directly
tbo sail nows reached his car.
Less tragic was tho vow mndo by a young
Polish mechanic residing In Warsaw, though
tho oath lu question wus certainly touched
with much folly. Ho swor'o that ou each

however, ho did not reserve U10 dissipation

Every member of tho protectionist nartv
voted for It, but as It requires a two-thirds
vote of both houses of congress to submit
an amendment of tho constitution to tho
peoplo, and then requires two-thirds of tho
votes cast In nil the states to ndopt it. nil
may readily seo that whon this Is mndo 11
party question It cnn novcr bo carried,
Probably no single party will over havo a
president lu the White House and at the
Earao tlmo control both branches of congress
by a two-thirds majority; and It Is oqually
improbablo that any party will ever bo ablo
to carry two-thirds of tho states of tho
union. Therefore, wo may sum up tho slt-
nation in 11 few words by saying that tho
question has rison nbovo partisanship nnd
parties, It has, I think, reached the upper
'evc' of patriotism, and I hope that tho com-
,ns congress, being so far away from the
coming presidential election, will thercforo
feel Itself so removed from the exigencies
of active partisanship that It may nt least
submit tn tho people tho question: Shall
congress havo the powor to mako a fair rcg-
ulnMon of these groat Interests, dealing
Justly by them nnd protecting all tha In
terests of the people?
Ono of tho first things' that will ho dono
