The anawera to the queries show that the governor head ia level on all topics of general im port. Following ia the governor's re marks to our queatiuna: "We notice that you haw ratom»d to the 10 per cent, reserve of the relief fund. You do not, then, anticipate that any part of the state will require help from abroad this year, do you?" "1 certainly hope the state cm B#®et any demands for ralief that may come from any section. It will hava to be done by voluntary contributions, how ever. In caae of necessity, the people of the state will be aaked to aaaiat. W hen the return of money waa decided upon, a month ago, it looked aa if the crops would be heavy in every aeotion sine* then some locations have Buffered quite severely The districts affected, how ever, are small compared with last year I may say, however, that the full appor tkmment waa paid to every section that ia now suffering.

"1 think the Misaowrt river ought to be utilized to the great benefit of both. "Do you think artesian irrigation will prove a remedy for our occasional droutha, and if ao, what parts of the state can be benefited by it?" "Yea, the entire portion of the Mate eaat of the Missouri, except the Sioux valley, on the eaat side of the state, about aeventy five miles wide, which has a system of lakes that, but for the dram upon them from the west, are abundant to meet the demands of their section. 1 think the country of the Jim and Mia aouri should sink wells and fill up their dry lake beds. Farmers, too, oan uae wells with profit The supply is i»ex haustable and the water lies aa near the surface as it could safely What effect will the extraordinary development which this summer is wit nessing in the mining industries c€ the Black Hills have on the balanos of the state?" "It will bs ffBBi teolor in settling and ileY?lopoig the rest of the state,both by increasing the wealth of the stat*» and advertising her resources and making a home market for her products. Thm effect will be felt next year to wonderful extent." "What ought the telMn to do in the district suffering with drouth?1* They ought to get some stodk, 4 eepeciaily.

Ieadwiod diapatch. 1. The Pioneer has an mtereeting writs-up of tfee lilack Hills this week. The Hills, it says, form an enormous island of lofty peaks, tower ing flummita and elevated plateau* up lifted by volcanic action front of of the roiling western South Dakota The entire region is drained by the big Cheyenne river and its numeroos tribu taries, every ravine and cany act in the Hills having a swift mountain torrent of oiear cold water dashing down through it on its way to mingle with tha muddy waters the Cheyenne. For oountless years these streams have been cutting their channel* deeper and deeper, until in many places they are ovsr 1,00( feet in depth, forming canyons of surpassing grandeur. In the limestone ranges of the northern and western bill* the sewn cry ia ruggeT and grand to the extreme, surpassing any other portion of the hills. Harney Peak ia situated in the south ern jmrt of Pennington county, near Hill City, and lifts its rocky crest- 8,900 feet above the sea level. The asoettt of the mountain is well repaid by tha view to be had from the summit, this being the loftieet peak in the Black Hills. Terry's Peak, six miles southwest of Deed wood, is the crowning elevation in tha northern hills lifting its crest far above ail sur rounding peaks it reaches an altitude of 7,233 feet. On the top of it is a locating monument, erected by the United States engineer, who conducted the geo graphical survey in the Hilk fifteen years ago. From this height the whole Black Hills region is spread oat before the observer like a panorama. As far aa the eye can reach to the south, south east and southwest, it takes ia a scene of surpassing loveliness. Beautiful green parks interspersed with groves of coniferous trees, rugged mountain crags, towering high above, and nartow wind ing ravines with precipitous walla, in which bright gleams of Hashing moun tain torrents can occasionally seen. T« the wutbeasU*bout Ave miles distant, Custer Peak nse# the form of a perfect oone to a height of 7,000 feet. With a good field-glass the flag staff erected oa its summit in 1875 can be distinctly eeen. Bald mountain. Green mountain, ('rook's tower, Brown buttea, Black buttee and Crow peak are all in aighti ranging in height from tt,UOO to 7,300 feet. To the mirth, northwest and northeast the prairies of Wyoming and South Da kota can be seen with many outlaying foothdis and buttee, Bear butte, the moat prominent, neea in the form of a truncated cone 35 miles to Use northeast. It rises to a height of 1,'300 feet above the surrounding plain and forms an in to resting atuUj tus the geologist, it being composed atanoot aatiraty of wdoamc matter Several natural oaves of great extent bare been found in the Hilla, the Wind Cave, located twelve miles north of Hot Springs, having been explored a distance of over ten milea without finding th»» end. Within a abort distance of Dea»w»»od are several very fine crystal well worthy a visit, many beautiful specimens of crystal having been obtained from them. The ktrgm* oat—at la tha Wfe to o® the Bpeartiah river, aboit ten milea southwest of Deadwood. l%ia fall is sixty feet in height the river plunging over a perpendicular ledge into a pool below. White wood Falls, three miles from Deadwood, ia also worthy of a visit, the canyon at this point being very rugged and grand. The rich gold and ailver afaillg tgioB adjacent to Deadwood, from which many millions of dollar* have oesa extracted during the psst fifteen years, is of in lereet to tourist and ntipi talista The various methods of minmg, milling and smelting the ores to extract their pre 4'ious I contents forming ao engaging study. Enormus deposits of both free milling and refractory ores are found here, and the vatue of th* semi-monthly shipment of bullion is immense. Here can te seen the greatest void mills in the world, reducing nearly 4,s 00 tons of ore j*»r day. Narta'i lanital WetBeAa. hn'n Dakotian The nghtaaoa* n^as ot a oause may often bs fairly judgwl by the methods of its advocates. A meritorious cause needs no sophistry, no prevarication, founied in right its advocates have no necesHity to resort to falsehood, fraud or deception to bolster it up. But a cauae having no merit in fact, muatrely solely upon such methods and means as will predjudice and deceive the people. Huron so wanton as to challenge a parallel from any source claiming respectability, but wags her slanderous tongue against a targe portion of the territory of the state. 111 at if nh^ to be tjelieved, is such a worthless waste that the people should nss up and denounce every citixen of the siaU« who labored to havs it opened for settlemmit. "Nay amrs, our representa tives in congress, who mud for the ap pmpnations necessary to obtain such worthies*) larnls oa which to lure honest settlers from other states anil countries of this continent, and the land beyond the seas, should be driven in disgrace from public life, and thehomss of honest people shut against them. if the lands beyond the Missouri are worthless tor homes and farma, what is the govern »rc not valiittMc for agn.-uHurHi purposes, and only tit for stock raising, why has congreee with the reports of its special agents before it provided by law that none but actual settlors oan have it, and only one quarter section at that, and that the settlers must live on it five years and then pay one dollar and a quarter an acre for it? Does anybody lielieve our national government haa gone into a grand conftdeaoe game in real estate in which the people of Pierre and the Black Hills are flaying the part of "bunco stoererw?" If it had not been known that theee lands were good for agricultural purposes would not the government have been likely to know it and provided for selling several quarter sections to each purchaser so that it could be used for stock raising to aa ad vantage? The facts are that in the faee of Mis last chance for Huron's real estate boom ers, to aave themselves, and the city se cure existence from the public crib, a malicious desperation has siessd upon the capital advocates, that has burst all considerate bounds and culminated in a phenomenal craze of unbluahing false hood, that would put the commonest kind of common fairness to shame. Legi timate salaries to thoee employed in pre senting whatever claims Huron has to the people is proper, but bribery of votes is not To persuade a man that he should vote for Huron is legitimate but to buy his vote is no better than horse stealing or safe blowing. To persuade whole communities that Huron should become the permanent capital is legti mate work, but to attempt to buy with hard cash the whole vote of an entire town or city, is a piracy upon the Amen oan system of manhood government and an effort to debauch and demoralise voters that shoukl consign to everlast iu« infamy all engaged in it tha cause that for want of merit resorts to suoh means cannot hope to win.
