JOHNSON Hot Springs, Oct. 31. Few men have had more colorful lives than did Christian Swint. Indian fighter, plainsman and gold prospector, whose last home was his ranch 20 miles north of Hot Springs and whose death occurred recently at St.

Joserh. Missouri, where he had gone to be under the care of hia brother, a physician. Christian Swint was destined, from his earliest years, to be a breaker of trails. When only a boy he came with his parents from the well-established farm life of Pennsylvania to the raw prairies of Nebraska. That was in 1860, when Nebraska was little more than a bone of contention in national poUtics.

After a few years Christian pushed on further west and finally be- came leader of an ox train route to the Black Hills. Scoot for Reno In the course of these years the young man came in contact with many Indian tribes and- he learned many things about their customs, their languages and their methods of fighting. This gave him valuable equipment as a scout and in that capacity he served during campaigns against the Indians. At the battle of the Little Big Horn, where General Custer and his band were wiped out, Swint was a scout with the Reno forces. So daring was he and so formidable a foe to the red man that a special reward was stand- inn amnnfr thn Indian t.rihM fnr the brave who shouftl bring in the scalp of luigie jjost 'lootn, as tney cniistenea him from the fact that he had sacri ficed a front tooth in a hand-to-hand encounter With an.

He was welcome among them at any time and his visits were a signal for a spe cial ceieDrauon. Became Prospector About the time the Indian wars ceased the gold hunt in the Black Hills began. This fitted well witn enns- tian Swlnt's adventurous training, for the uncertainties and hazards of pros pecting were scarcely less than those of running the red man's blockade, while the possibilities of gain were infinitely greater. So Swint became a brosoector.

At Custer, where the first gold was found, Swint located a mine that paid him well and later had shares in numerous other mining enterprises, some of which came to a fruitful maturity while others perished tn the bud. Then with the capital thus acquired he took another chance and became a rancher. At this he was comfortably successful and in it he found occupation for his energies and resource until his active yeaM were over. COMMISSION IS RECEIVED BY POSTMASTER AT MARION Marlon. Oct.

W) The story of the rapid development of a territory which less than a half century ago numbered but a handful of white settlers. Into a great state, rich in agri cultural wealth, natural resources and scenic beauties, was told to thousands or radio listeners Saturday night by Governor W. J. Buloy, chief executive of the "Sunshine State." srjeakinar from station. WMAQ of the Chicago Daily News.

"We are largely an agricultural state" Governor Bulow explained, "our possibilities In achievements of agriculture are Just In the beginning. Less than one-third of our total agricultural lands have ever been touched by the plow. Cites Gold Mine "In respect to developed and undeveloped mineral resources, we can boast the richest one hundred miles square on the face of the earth, and the greatest gold mine in the world." "Our recreational opportunities and stemc beauties are uiisurpasbed anywhere," the South Dakota governor continued, enumerating the varied riches of the state which President Coolidge chose for his summer home wis year "Our many lakes, rivers and streams abound with fish and furnish unlimited enjoyment for those who love the handling of the rod and reel, and also furnish a paradise for the hunters of wild fowl. Prairie chickens and grouse are sportsmen's delight, and our pheasant hunting is the best In the world. The scenic oeauty of our wonderful Black Hills cannot be described it must be seen.

I will not attempt to paint you a word picture; that is impossible. It is the Switzerland of America." 1 Governor Bulow also pointed out the educational facilities and other benefits which go hand In hand with the natural wealth of a state to make of it a fit home for an Industrious, happy people. Rapid Development "One of the remarkable things about South Dakota is the rapidity of its development," Governor Bulow concluded. "Half a century ago, there were but a handful of white settlers in the state. Many of the earlv and original settlers are still alive.

In the short space of fifty years within the memory of living man, this unlimited prairie plain has been converted into a land 'flowing with milk and honey," and that once Drairie wasLe turiav rivals in beauty and splendor, the glories of Eden's famous garden." Rich Anmlnnm Deposits Perhaps South Dakota's most im portant latest resource is in its Inexhaustible deposits of aluminum ore. Over thirty thousand square miles of this ore is deposited to a depth of one tnousana xeet or more, ana every ton of it contains four hundred pounds of alumina and two hundred pounds of metallic aluminum. The great flood of the Missouri ploughs down through the very heart of it, where electric planus may be so located that the ore' may be shoveled directly from the mine into the retorts. Electric processes are requisite for the separation of the aluminum from the silica of the ores. Nowhere else are such supplies of inexhaustible ores of so high aluminum content and In direct connection with abundant hydro-electric power.

The time is at hand when this wonderful metal can be provlaed to supply aluminum as the substitute fpr our fast vanishing lumber supply. South Dakota Is bound to become the center of a great world industry. To celebrate their 83rd birthday, Joseph and John Bainbridge, bachelor twins of Chester-le-S tree England, went for a long walk together.

Letter Affords Glimpse Behind Early Politics Pierre, Oct. 31.

A glimpse behind the scenes Into early Dakota politics before Dakota was even a territory, nearly three-quarters of a century ago, Is afforded through one or many interesting old letters In the possession of tho State Historical Society. This letter, date November 6, 1859. was written from Yankton Agency by A. G. Fuller, a trader at Fort Randall for many years.

who later moved to Yankton, and addressed to Franklin J. De at Sioux Falls, where the latter was a leader in the Dakota Land De Witt was later mayor of Yankton for, two years, a member of the territorial legislature in 1867-8, and an Indian trader on the Missouri until 1878.

Pox. state historian, explained today, but refused to act on the grounds that he was not the person to repre sent the district for which he, was chosen.

It was relative to the election of Governor Kidder for delegate that he wrote. "I se by the papers that the eastern po-Uo of Dakora has given her vote In favor of Cfrovernor Rldder for delegate," Mr. Fuller wrote DeWitt. "The treat obiect I had in view at the time of the election has ben accomplished. that was.
