.Will Increase Gold Output This Year
Sayg I.' A. Webb.'
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."

Indefinite War of Relations
Between Himself and
Mai., tioald. -
i

PARIS, Jan. 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.

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

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.
