PULSE OF WESTERN PROGRESS Evidenoe of Steady Growth in All In- dustries in the Black Hills. IMPRESSIONS OF PROMINENT VISITORS Callfornians Moving for a Competing Rail- rond—The Irrigation Problem—Samples of Mineral Development—Summary of Northwest News, While there is no especial rush of business In any of the leading towns of the Hills yet thero is ovidence of a steady increase in all material lines of growth, The spring has opened late in the Hills, as it has elsewhere, and this has retarded work to some extent, but tho indications are that the summer will be a very ousy one. The great tin plant at Hill City will soon b in operation aad the success of this néw eaterprise will be watched with much in- terest. This will not only give Hill City a prominent place among the cities of the Hills, bat wiil in all probability open up a new and very important industry in this region. Rapid City is pushing the scheme to build & smelter and judging fromn the energy with which the citizens of that vigorous young city take bold of new enterprises it seems altogether likely that the smelter will be a reality in Rapid City before another winter seLs in. Hot Springs is pushing ahead as usual, the wplendid now hotel being the largest improve- nient now under way at the great heaith resort of tho northwest. This new hotel will bo a surprise to visitors at_the Springs. It will contain 100 fine, large roows, with thirty-five doublo suites, all supplied with electric light and every moaern conveuience. The builaing 18 solid stone and covers an area 100 feet square, It is built in the form of u capital H, thus giving an abundance of_light and tho very best of ventiation. Major Evans, the owner, will probably retain the management of the house himself, although ho talks of leasing it to some competent party, ‘I e stucco works at the Springs are meet- fug with splendid success and the indica- tions are that this will become one of the leading inuustries of this section. There is some talk of building a motor line out to Wind cave, twelve miles north of the Bprings. “The saw mills throughout the Hills seem to be unusually busy this spriug, as the demand for lumber for building purposes 1s guite bri; If it were not for the law prohibit- $ug the shipping of lumber oulof thestate the demand upon the Black Hills saw mills would be much greater. Nebraska would ake ull the lumver the mills of the Hills eould furnish, but the law prohibits the ex- portation of lumber cut on zovernmentlands and only that owned by private parties can be stipped out of the state. ‘The great mines are usig iore and more coal ns the timber becomes scfrce in the im- mediate vicinity of the mills. Newcastio coal inds o ready market in all the leading towans of the Hills. Grazing has not been as good this spring @8 ususl on account of the lateness of the season, but the cattle are rapialy picking up now that the grass has made a good start, Swall grain in the vaileysand on the prairies adjacent tu the Hills looks well considering the backward season, 1t is expected that this will be an important summer for the Hills for the reason that a very large num- ber of influential men from the east are be- coming interested in various enterprises in the stirring towns in this section, and in all probability the Hills will be visitea this sum- mer by a greater number of capitalists and sightseers than ever before. Visiting Edgemont und the Springs. A distinguished party, consisting of dele- gates Lo tho Methodist conference recently peld in Omaha and several citizens of the Nebraska metropolis, passed through Edge- mont on the 30th, enroute to Deadwood and other points in the Black Hills. The party consisted of Judge William Lawrence of Bellefontaine, O.; Dr. J. 5. Breckenridge of the Brooklyn Methodist hospital; Dr. J. M. Kize of New York; Dr. Charles 5. Wing of Btanford, Conn.; 'Hon. E. J. Hill of Nor- walk, Conn.: Dr. George . Maias ot Breok- yn; Rev. Alfred Coons of Kiogston, N. Y. {orace Candee of Beatrice; C.'J. Mills, Grable and J. M. Gillan of J._ Gravle of Crawford end K. . Vroman of Edgemont slso joived the party. The distinguished gentlemen from the east expressed them- selves as being very much pleased with the country through which they bad passed between Omaha ena Edgemout. - They poke in glowing terms of the rich farming lands of Nebraska, and the fine erazing lauds of South Dakota. Judge Lawrence ‘was especially impressed with the superior advantages of this region for sheep breed- ing, and declared that, in bis opinion, it was the tinest country for sheep that he had ever n. ‘The largo tracts of good farming nd about Edgemont were a special sur- prise to the visitors. Hot Springs was thronged with visitors duriog the past week. Among the number were soveral of the delegates to the Metho- dist conference at Omaba. Several of the Poipis of the city were filled Sunday, Ma; , by prominent Methodist clergy men. Wing of Stamford, Conn., occupied the pul- pit at the Methodist college, and Dr. Mains of New York preached at the Presbyteriau church, In the afternoon there was & mass meeting at the opera bouse in the interest of education. The meeting was addressed by Judge Lawrence, Dr. J. M. hing of New York and others. The large bathing resort and ail the points of interest about the Springs were taken in be' the visitors. Some of the party visited Wind cave, twelve miles north of the city, under the guidance of Dr. Hancher of Hot Springs col.ege. They were all very much pleased with the trip and with the entertuin- ment found here at the Springs. The Arid Reglon. Amorg the fow eastern pavers friendly to dhe irrigation movement in the west, the New York Sun must be conceded first viace. In a recent issue it says: “The bill penaing in congress to turn over to the states and territories the arid puolic lands lying within their respective limits, so make woat they can of theso lands by irri- gauon, has & sound and seusible basls. It may neca to be guarded by additional strictions in order to produce the mo beneficial results. Since the water courses on which the systems of reservoirs, dams ud_ditches depend often Lraverse two or more stules, care is required iu framing legislation of nis sort. A danger also to be guarded against is the possible perversion of such a project of genoral benefit to the pur- poses of monopolies and riugs that might otberwise control local legislatures. These, however, ure details under the geueral plan The tirst inquiry is as to whether the pro posed distribution of the arid la Wwisest one, und of this there so litle doubt. *Tho irrigation necessary 10 make tni vast domain fertils should be uudertukea by yn\'nleunurprlm under state laws. Thus ar there has beow little demaud upon con- gress for any Work except preliminary sur- veyingz und the sevegation of reservoir sites. But after tho great areas of fertile soil now open for homestead settlewent shail have peen tuken up the federal government will be urgea, probably, Lo apply irrigation to the arid lunds in order that they may bring a better price. That is not the business of the government; and Jven as & measure of econ- omy 1t should give up these lauds vow in order thet by the tine they are nceded for occupation, they may have been made fertile under state supervision. Of course, mineral lauds would be exempted from such grants.' Striking at » Monopoly. Californis capitalists bave at last decided o attack the Ceutral Facifio mouopoly in the most vulnerable point—the consiruction of an independent line to Salt Lake City. Ar- ticies of incorporation were filed at the state capltol lust week, signeg by Alvinza Hay- ward, Daniel Meyer, William Baboook, E L G. Stele and E.. F. freston, all strong men fluaacially, They are backed by ne will go to Salt Lake via Stockton and will pass over the Sierra range at oue of the best possible poluts for the passage of & The tirst survey cuters Nevada via Bock- wilh pass, but two others have been made and the route has not been definitely decidea upon. The Union Pacific bas five surveys from its terminus at Ogden to San Francisco and all of these routes have been carefully looked over by Mr. Cleveland within the past three months. Tney are all shorter than the Southern Pacific line, which reckons 805 miles from San Francisco to Ogden, having lost nearly 100 miles in following the old emigrant trail. This distance will be saved by the new line which ever route it may take, and the grades will also be much e making 1t possible to get to Ogden in about six hours' less time than at present.§ fer, There will bs three corporations in the de: One in San Francisco, one in Nevada and & third in t Lake. It is uuderstood that the Novada subsidy will be §1,500,000 and that Utah will give $10,000 more than the amount above mentioned. The capital is to be increased to $10,000,000 as soon as the road is bullt far enough to warrant the in- crease, One of the great objucts of the company will 0e in the development of local freight traffic, The Central Pacific has never doue anything to encourage the mining industry in Nevadn or Utan. It has charged rates on ore shipments that were simply prohibitory. The new company’s line will run_through rich mining territory, which it will develop as rapidly as possible after its completion. A Bit of Wyoming Border Life. By something like a thousand per cent, Suggs is the liveliest town in the state of Wyoming. 1tis in Sheridan county and is calied for a cattle owner whose herds range thereabouts. It is just now the central point for the Burlington construction in northern Wyoming. The railroad grading is com- pleted to within fifteon miles of that point on Powder river. The villlage is a hummer and affords Wyoming its only avalable touch of renl high life. It consists maluly of tents and the tents mainly of saloons, ai- though protty nearly every branch of busi- ness is more or less represented. Until Saturday last there has been no law or government in the place. Its days and nights have been an aimost uninterrupted succession of saloon and streét brawls. Tho visitor who had not yot received a black oye was remarkablo for bis oddity. Perbaps in no other similar locality in the country was there gnthered together such an aggregation of hobos and riff-ralf. Many of them were graders, but many more are simple hangers- on, and such an_uninterrupted successicn of SCraps no town in the state has ever before secn. A city marshal has now been se- cured. He1s paid §100 a month, paid by the business men, and a deputy sheriff hus been assigned by the county commissioners for duty there. The city marshal went on duty Saturday. No save man envies him his_job. 1f the present strain is keptup he must in the nature of things break down. He seems 1n no wise aiscouraged, nowever, aud hopes when tho deputy sheriff arrives to be able to cope with the situation, 1tis expected the trains will bo running to Suges by July 4. The work of the Burlington construction is being pushed with tremendous energy and through a country requiring the heaviest kind of construction work. The manager of Kilpatrick Bros, & Collins at the front says tuat irm has a contract to complete the road 108 point ten miles beyond Sheridan, the county seat of Sheridan county. There are now 1,300 teams employea and about 3,500 men. Tracklaying, temporarily retarded by a strike, is being pushed at the rate of a mile aday. As the weather becomes thoroughly settiea the present force will probably be doubled. Those 1 charge of the construc- ton say the work will be pushed without in- termission uctil the Yellowstone park is reached and a single direct route provided for the World’s fair visitors from Chicago to the very gates of the park. Ceeur d’Alene Strike. The struggle of the miners against & re- duction of wages in the Cceur d’Alene dis- trict of Idaho shows no sign of abatement. On the surfaco the mine owners have the bast of the fight. A number of non-union men have been shipped in and several mines are in operation. A feature illustrating the desperation of the employers is that of pay- ing the new and mexperienced meu as much per diem as the strikers asked. The latter refused to accept a reduction from $3.50 to 83 per day. 'I'ie new men aro paid the old wages, acd unskillod labor 15 paid more thau before the strike. But this is a trifie in the vill of expense pilell up for uo other purpose than to break down the miners voion. The fares of imported men were paid, detoctives and guards employed and court expenses piled up. 1f the mine owaers win the tight on the original basis now, they could not recoup themselyes in vears. There is o probability of their succeeding. A number of the men_brought 1n are belioved to be members of the miners union, Who secure work and by various methods help to em- barrass the owners. The efforts of the governor of Idaho in the direction of arbitration failed. The mine owners now threaten to shut down for the year, but us this bluff was tried once before it is not likely to scere the strikers. Mining In Nevada. Although we have no boom in mining shares, writes Dan de Quille in the Salt Lake Tribune, there is still always something dolug in that ine. Many persons have been dabbling in stocks for so many years that they would not be able to enjoy life unless they were trying their luck on a few shares. It gives them something to watch sna look forward to. Then once in & while some stock takes a jump and doubles. It is never s0 dull in sbares but some coutinue to dabble 1n them, and now, as in the old times, there are those who are always to be secn watching the bulletin boards. As regards the mines themselves they hold out wonderfully. Again and again we see it announced In various quariers that the “Comstock mines are exhausted,” but the fact is that all goes on about as usual. Thus last week there wore workea at the Morgan mill 980 tons of Consolidated California & Virginia ore, the average of which was $26 a ton. Ophur ore averages $21.70 & ton and other mines from §14 to 20, South Dukota Quarantine. Governor Mellette of Soutnh Dakota has issued & provlamation governing the trans- fer of Texas cattle through the state, so as 1o guard agalast the Texas fever. All Texas stock brought into the state must be accom- panied by sfidavits of Lwo respofisible por. sons and certified to by a clerk of a court of record, giving the name of the owner and consignee and finul destination, the counties from whence shipped and the date of ship- ment. All cattie coming into the state from Texas are to be unloaded and inspected by the state veterinary surgeor or legul repro- sentative. Toe order affects tbe delivery of nearly 100,000 head of stock bound for Moatana. Nebraska. Mrs. Isabella Scott, aged 78, a pioceer of Hebron, is dead .

The Sacramento river has broken through the levee below Sacramento and 1s flooding the rich lowlands. About and above the state capitol the levees successfully contine reshet of twenty-seven feet. For miles on either side of the city a huge earth embank- ment at least ten feet above the level of the country confines the river. The water is near the top. Coasequently, when a broak occurs, great damage must ensue to the farmers ou the bottoms. The rapid rise of the Columbia within the pust week has changed the salmou fishing situation. Fishermen have been obliged to hang up their gear for the present. Gill nets on the lawer river are catching more fish and larger ones. The wheels at the Cascades have been making such enormous catches that the canneries there have been unable to take care of them. Saturday one wheel was cut loose and allowed to float down the river fifteen tons of salmon, and many more have been dumped into the river from the can- neries, as cans could not be made for them.
