ENGLISH MONEY GOES IN THERE . DrMrn from Month Africa by Drnstlo Legislation Asrrlcultoral Pursuit Kern Pace with Mineral ' Development.- . I. A. Webb, formerly a prominent editor of Dead wood. S. D.. but who, for the last few years, has been identified In the de velopment of mining and kindred industries, Is at tlia Pax tun hotel and in an interview aid: "While there was depression dining the year 1907 owing to the firo In the great Homcutake mine and a general strike which suspended mining operations for nearly six months so the bullion produc tion fell a little short of the) average for that year, the outlook for 1908 Indicates that the regular bullion producers will greatly Increase their output. Besides, there are many new developements that will add to the gold production at least 80 per cent above the average yearly out put. Aside from this. English syndicates which have not been Identified with Black Hills mining have bonded at least $10,000,000 worth of gold and tin bearing mines and are making preparations to In augurate a system of development, which for magnitude, has never before tie'en planned for that favored region. Rani aa Those In South Africa. "It Is understood the syndicates back of the enterprise are the ones that have de veloped the great Wltwoler-Strand mines of South Africa. They are now withdraw ing their capital from that region owing to the fact of the drastic legislation at Pretoria which has prohibited the immi gration of Chinese laborers besides dis couraging the mining Industry generally. "The contemplated Investment of these British syndicates Is regarded with great significance In western South Dakota for a large capital is necessary to develop the enormous tow grade ore bodies of that mining district and when tho English min ing Interest is once aroused to the fact .of Ita economic value plenty of capital always Is forthcoming' until the mines are on a substantial paying. baBls, and that is what Is needed at present to open up these vast mineral resources." Speaking of other Industries, Mr. Webb says the two railroads that have crossed the state from Chamberlain and Pierre to P.apid City and the completion of tho vast enterprise of the government In storage reservoirs and Irrigating , ditches , wound Belle Kourclie, thirty, miles east, of Oead wood, lias so stimulated Immigration that he believes In five years the population west of the Missouri river In tho state of South Dakota will exceed that of the eastern part of the state and that It will be more powerful both politically and com mercially than the latter locality. Settlers Pouring; In, "During the year 1907 the bonafide home stead entries west of the Missouri river amounted to about 16.000 and the Immigra tion pouring In for land at present will. In the course of eighteen months absorb nil of the available government land In tho state," says he. "This same land that was thought a few years ago to be seml-arld has been proven In the last year or two to produce from twenty to forty bushels of wheat to the acre; forty to eighty bushels of oats; forty to eighty bushels of corn; and from three to nine tons of alfalfa and other cereals In pro portion. In view of this fact land con sidered of little value is now being sold as fast as patents are obtained from J1S!.50 to $12 an acre. This rapid development of the agricultural Interest has given an Impetus to towns along the Chicago, Milwaukee A St. Paul and Northwestern railroads and what was considered a barren waste three years ago Is now a busy, prosperous country teeming with a population that 1h Intelligent and progressive state builders."

S. The newspapers publish long accounts of the encounter yesterday between Count Bonl de Castellane and I'rlnce Helle de Sagen in the Rue de Chail lot. The men are cousins. Count Bonl was recently divorced by IiIb wife, who was Miss Anna Oould, and Prince de Sagen is credited with having been attentive to Mme. Gould. I Count Bonl is quoted as declaring his cousin to be outside the pale of society and he reiterates the statement made yes terday that It would be Impossible for Prince Helle to procure' acceptable seconds even If he desired to challenge to a duel. Trlnce do Sagen, when seen by a repre sentative of the Associated Press at noon today, was propped up In bed amoklns cigarettes. He declared that after confer ring with his fencing master and othei friends he saw no reason to' change his decision not to send a challenge. "If Boni had struck me In the face with his glove I would fight him," said the prince. ''By attacking me with his brother, two against one, and striking me when I was down he has placed hlms'lf outside the laws regulating affairs of honor. Moreover, I have decided upon the advice of my at torney, should the public prosecutor not act In the matter, to bring a charge oi' criminal assault, coupled with a demand for one franc damages, In order to be able to prove the deliberate character of the at tack." As to (iould Kngnaenirnt. Asked about the report tmbllslied In Le Journale that his engagement to Mine. Anna Gould would be announced In a few days and that the marriage would follow In Germany, Prince Helle replied that the public should be satisfied with the denials Issued by Mme. Oould and himself. As Mine. Gould's divorce only becomes defi nite at the end of three months, any mar riage now is Impossible, the prince -said, and It was hardly likely In any event that Mme. Gould would marry before a year had elapsed. Then he added, smiling: "At the end of that time I do not know what may happen." Prince Helle spoke frankly of the friend ship that had existed between himself and the count and Countess de Castellane and his frequent visits to their residence. The two men formerly were great friends. Prince Helie having organized the famous fairy fete in the Bols de Boulogne with which Count Boni and bride made their bow ts Paris society. This fete cost a fabulous sum and was the talk of Paris for months. Count Bonl Is ten years younger than Prince Helle and considerably smaller In stature. Both men are good sportsmen. Count Jean de Castellane has sent u letter to the press In which he denies the state ments that he helped his brother bea the prince and says he only tried to stop the fljht. Mme. Gould had a conference with her lawyers this afternoon and It was an nounced that no statement would be Issued. She reiterated, however, her denial of being engi'.ged to Prlhce de Sagen. been Invited to participate, and many of them have expressed their willingness to do so. They wlltehdeavor to capture some of the liberal pVTzfcr which will be offered for the best, exhibits of corn. I FATAL FIGHT OVER . ELECTION Mayor ' Fort Hay, V.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 3.-Another sen sational chapter was added to the Cali fornia Safe Deposit and Trust company scandal yesterday, when H. L. Storrs, one of the bookkeepers of the concern, broke down under a merciless cross-examination and confessed that the false entries in the hooks were In his handwriting and had been made under orders from J. Dalzell Brown, the Imprisoned manager of the bank, and J. D. Robertson, the fugitive as sistant secretary. The confession made by Storrs was com plete In every respect and established the fact that nearly $1,000,000 had been falsely added to the assets of the bank In order to deceive th state commissioners. More than $500,000 had been fraudulently added to the account of Brown, Walter J. Bart nett and the San Francisco and San Joaquin Coal company alone. In order to balance the books Storrs said that a like sum had been charged against depositors In the bank. Tho confession of Storrs was made in the bank Building at California and Mont gomery streets after he had been sub jected to a searching examination by As sistant District Attorney William Hoff Cook and Theodore Kltka, the handwriting expert. J. Dalzell Brown was today given until January 8 to plead on the grand Indict ment charging him with embexilement In iconnectlon with the disappearance of the Colton estate securities from the Califor nia Safe Deposit and Trust company, of which he formerly was general manager.

JUDGE MORRIS WILL NOT AGREE Present Trial Is Fourth and Has Lasted Forty. Six Ita r HI ant Yesura of Litigation for the Prisoner. GEORGETOWN, Ky., Jan. .-At 1045 o'clock this morning the Jury In the Caleb Powers trial cam from the Jury room and the foreman, J. L. Price, announced that It . was impossible for the Jury to agree upon a verdict. "We aro further from a verdict than ever," said Foreman rnce. v. ;; a . '. ' ; Jtldge Morris sent the Jury back for fur ther deliberation, telling them that the law r quired that they If possible make a de cision and to go hack and try tt agree upon a verdict. No Intimation was given s to how the Jury stands. The Jury had a good night's rest and re sumed deliberations at 8:45 o'clock today. Caleb Powers was Indicted eight v years Ago as accessory before the fact to the murder of William Ooebel, democratic con testant for the office of governor. It has been one of the most stubbornly contested criminal cases In the history of American Jurisprudence. Trial Lasted Seven Weeks. The present tlal has covered more than seven weeks, with forty-six actual days of court proceedings. There have been 177 witnesses examtned, seventy-six for the commonwealth and 101 for the defense. In addition three Sets of depositions have been rend and the testimony of six witnesses, who died since the last trial was admitted. Powers for himself and Henry K. Youtsey, who is now a life convict, for the prosecu tion, were the principal witnesses. During the trial seven persons have been brought before the court for contempt, resulting n four convictions and three dismissals. The present trial is the fourth through which Caleb Powers has been compelled to pass. The first In 1900 resulted In a con viction with a sentence of life Imprison ment. This Judgment and verdict was re versed .by the court of appeals on the grounds of misconduct upon the part of at torney Themaa C. Campbell and an error upon the part of the trial Judge in forcing too speedy a Judgment and sentence In order to have it entered in the time pro vided by the criminal code. Onca Life Imprisonment. - The second trial came about a year later. In 1902. and resulted in a sentence to lifo Imprisonment. This was later set aside on the ground that Judge James C. Can trill had refused to vacate the bench upon a motion filed by the defense supported by an affidavit charging him with partiality. At the third trial, in 1003, Judge J. E. Robhlns of Mayfteld presided. It again re sulted in a verdict of guilty and this time the death penalty was imposed. Following this sentence the rase waa taken away from the state courts by Judge A. M. J. Cochran of the United States district court and the accused became a federal prisoner and was confined In the Newport Jail. This was done -on a - motion that the federal courts take Jurisdiction of the case under the constitution, a Jurisdiction which Judge Cochran assumed. The case was carried to the supreme court of the United States but by that tribunal was returned to the state courts and' Powers once more was brought back to the Jail here. Four year elapsed from the term of his death sentence to the present trial. When first arrested he was put In tho comity, Jail at Lexlngtonv Two daysjater he wfcs conveyed to Frankfort and a motion for bail was dented. Me was taken to the Jail at . Louisville for safe keeping and later transferred to Georgetown. From this city he was taken to Newport during the time of his. federal imprisonment and from Newport brought hack to Georgetown again where he has since remained. 4ng Tather tnoro llfe.ul gimds and cl.fc.htn lc. but tit tort of ,welrn. nowd. is quirt at the south and yellow pine-jind cypress production is nolng cu hjVHy.
