it there Is any portion of this country where
there is audi ruggeil grandcur as among the

and the hot springs are In the midst of the

of the streams. Thin rcorvattun Is occupicil
in common with Shiohonei and Arapahoes ,

EXTINSIVE MICA MINES.
The World group , embracing twelve
chainis , lOCatet two and a half miles vc3t of
Custer , near Ruby creek , and ownoci by H.
J. and J. L. Orr , says the Custer , S. D. ,
Chronicle. may be safely placed at the head
of the lkt of the promilng mica claims of
the hills. At no other point in the entire
region Is this valuable mineral an strongly
In evidence. While its presence may be
note's in quantity upon all of the claims of
the group it i eepeclaliy marked upon the
claim being developed. which embraces a
mountain towering 400 feet above the valley
of Ruby creek near its batw. Upon the sur-
taco of this mountain are shown Innumerable
books of the mineral , exposed by ercelon , of
varying ( Immonrlona and exceptional quahlty
The mica Is found in a solid white granite
fornintlon having a width of about 400 feet ,
with two svehl defined walti , forming an ore
body which , in its exceptional magnitude , Is
not surpassed by any ore body mf Its character -
actor known to the history of mining. Beyond
the development work wrought by' nature ,
which In Itself has boon sufilcient to expose
tim mineral upon the surface In ample quan-
tRy to warrant profitable operation , but lit-
tie ha yet been done to show up the hidden
wealth which thioro is valid reason to ho-
. - ' . hove will be found at greater depth. An
open cut near the crest of time mountain , Varying -
rying In tiepthi from five to eight feet , five
, . - feet In width and thirty feet in leimgthi , shows
the proocnco of the mmcml lii a pleaslngpro-
fusion of dimensiona varying from the sinaI-
lost to the largest commercial sizea. and of a
grade that has been determined by the most
careful and thorough teSts to be of the most
superIor and desirable quality. Having unlimited -
limited and well warranted confidence In the
111gb merIt of their property , the owners
L , have expended coc.sidurablo 'money In pro-
- luminary work , and they are now engaged
In the actual development of the ama , with
every indication pointing to the most suc-
cesaful results. A mica cutter recently purchased -
chased Is utilized In cutting the product at
times when the weather Is unfavorable for
work In the mine , and from the sale of the
product' thins periodicaliy cut , a fund Is secured -
cured which figures as a considerable factor
in defraying time oxponsa Incurred In the tie-
velopnsent of the mine.
PIEItItE'S ShEEP INDUSTRY.
Besides the cattle IntoresLs on the range
west of hero , says a Pierre dispatch to the
SIoux Falls Argus-Leader , the sheep men are
rapidly coniing to the front ae a factor in the
r" prosperity of this portion of the state. 'I'cr-
nil I'attion , one of the loading sheep raisers ,
gives a few facts and figure. In regard to
that branch of the mtock industry. His estimate -
mate of the number of sheep on the ranges
vest and among thin farmers on this side of
the river km at about 100,000 , an lncreaso
from between 60,000 and 70,000 last year.
That increase Is practically alt natural Increase -
crease of the herds , au but few elmeep ) mve
come in from the outside the past year.
Time estimate lie places on wool shipments foi
this year ho places lower than moat other
estimates for the year , as ho does not think
that over 600,000 pounde will go out , and Is
doubtful of reaching that figure , while others
who claim to ho in a vosltion to know place
the amount all the way from 600,009 to IOO0-
000 pounda. Mr. l'attkian Ia of the opinion
that time prices secured for wool this year
will be slightly under that of last year , whems
the hmoep men secured an average of 11 cents
per pound ; lie puts the average price for
this year at about 10 cents. Tie price of
sheep on the range last year was about $2
per head , and vihl be about fiG cents higher
this year , after shearing. 'Jhis rise is at-
trhbtmtetl to the bright protects of an Increased -
creased tariff for the wool growers. There
have been practically no iosses on time range
front climatic reasons the past year , and
time whole range of this state is fVeo from
scab , wtmtlo 00 other sheep dlseaeos are
kuosu lmere. The shipnsonts from title point
last year voro light on account of the low
Price through mn.mt of the shipping season ,
the whole number siot being over 5,000 ; but
If time market is at all favorable this season
a Ritimber of heavy shiipnients will go out ,
probably reaching 0,000 head ,

STRUCK IT RICH.
Developments re.pectlng the Clara mine ,
three miles up the Idaimo City road , are cx-
tremely interesting , says time Boise States-

Prof. Elms 10. Rica of Baltimore , one of
the beat known electrians and inventors in
Anierica , Contributes to time Now York Jour-
imal the following tnteeating forecast of time
possibilities of the near future In clectricity
The development and commercIal possi-
bllities of electrical science are not , as one
iii so frequently told , "still iii their infancy. "
While IL is true tlmat in tIme application of
electricity to manufacturing and other arts ,
to immtorconmmnimntcation and transportation and
to buslmmess , social , domestic and otimer pur-
p0502 , mituclt yet remains to he done , the
principies of science and time methods of its
applIcation to timeso various purposes are now
So well understood that this phrase cami no
longer ho applIed to It. Time age of electricity
is today so far him advance of its progenitor ,
time ago of steamn , as to lmavo ainmoat super-
soiled it , notwithstanding time i'team engine
is still leaned upan to a certain extent by
Ito successor ,
Anmong the important possibilities of the
near future may be mnentloned , first , thm
generation of electricity In large quantities
directly from coal , wltlmout time waetefu intervention -
tervention of the steam boiler and steant
engine ; second , the electrical production of
light wIthout heat. Time realization of the
former would permit of time production of
electricity at macre fraction of its present
coat , and would make it so cheap and
abundant ad t reomddr its use umliverral for
all purposes to which it can be applied , amid
eeppclaliy for dommiemmtic and manufacturing
Purposes. w1aro its advnntqges as an electric
and imeating power mnediurmi are apparent.
An emclent system of direct. electrical generatIon -
eratIon would render obiaiote all steam engines -
gines and boilers used for power and heat-
log purposes. and would he mmmore far-reachiimg
in its benefits to humanity timan probably
any other single electrical invention.
The economical prodtmction of light without
heat , wimich on a somali scale has been ac-
comupltsliod by several experimenters , wouid
enable us to save nearly 95 per cent of time
electrical energy muon' used In imicandeacent
lighting and give us an absolutely perfect
artificial light without imeat or combustion
in comparison with whIch that prodtmced fromn
acetylene gas or any otlmer known illumninant
is exceedIngly asteful and crude. These
two inventions taken together would , from
their direct and Imidiroct influmenco upon our
commercial and social development , produce
a greater effect upon civilization timan any
conquest of ancient or modern times imas over
done.
The possibility of communicating wltim
other planets depends more upon time condition -
tion of ilfo upon those planets titan upon the
availability of electricity for time purpose.
It it could be shown that the planets. or any
given one of them , wore Inhmanited by baing
possessing reasoning faculties similar to our
own and 1mm time sanio or great-r stat' of tie-
volopment. time question of communication ,
or at least of signalling by electrical means.
would be solved quIckly enougim , assumIng
timat tim use of a telescope or its equivalent
were also known to tlmm.
Aerial navigation is , in amy opinion , more a
problem of aeronautics than of electricity.
Thu oulutlon of mechanical lBgimt lies largely ,
If not entiroy , 1mm the perfection of the
poroplano. As a source of poor the storage
battery Is at present entirely too cunibor-
sonic and heavy for time power developed.
It is pralahlo that for aerial navigation the
mimOst available power will be found in the use
of a compact form of gas engine using a
