From the “G .te City" Through the Gulches and Gorges of the Hills— The Result of Ten Years of " Prospecting. Wealth of Dakota, RArID Crry, June 10.—[Correspond- euce of Tie Bee.—Rapid City is located in the foothills, at a point where a nar- row gap opens into the mountain dis- trict. There is a peculiar fitness about this position, and it seems to be a natural one from which to view the country. 1donot mean by this that it is elevated uhove the rest, but rather that the varieties of scenery and resour- ces are illustrated by what is apparent to the obsery The which bears the same name, and which is a deep wountain stream, whose chun- nel not only never dry, but even in the sun-glarve of summer is havdly less voluminous than in spring. [t is Rapid creck which through many by-gone ages has worn the gap before which the city stands, which 15 denominated the “Gate City")0f the hills. To the west of Rapid City are the mountains and to the east ave the Prai- ries. All the vivers of the hills come down to the plains through canyons and gulches, and the pluins form a peculis topography. They are tables, or high- lands und bottoms, or lowland the streams emerge from the mountains they pass the rugged foothills and then they flow in botween the tables. As they go down to mingle with the Mis- gourt their valleys widen and present wonderful luxuriance. Such is Rapd valley. Theotherstreams have valle ys us fair, but you will not see their rich- ness as you come in from the east, be- cause the railroad passes through the most burren - country of all. The val- leys uro vich and many fine farms are there. The tables, too, [ am informed, are suscoptible of eultivation, and have already become heavy producers. Groat herds of cattle. heavy yields of wheat, barley, oats and vegctubles are the staples produced, .md all find & uear myvket in the mountuins. ow, turn to the west. There the minoral productions attract he cupidity of capital and the desives df industry.

There is another subject, however, which seems to me, upon investigation, “to be more important in relation to this section than gold, whether free-milling or refractory. Indeed, 1 convinced that it is in the magnitude of its prospects. I refer to tin. On my first visit to the hills, some years ago, 1 heard that the miners of the central and southern hills in their search for were “impeded by the constant occeurrence of a mineral which patiently threw aside as *‘black iron,” and of o value. About four years ago some intelligent gentlemen concluded have this black iron sznalyzed in order to de! just what it was, The result of their action was that t was found to be cassiterite (bluck tin), the which bears the metalic tin so com- monly 2 for plating sheet ivon, The world’s tin has hitherto been controlled by Englsh capitalists, who own only lunu»w from which it is produ: th the mines of u\\ull \I.nlu near lh- nds ur Sum tralin, The Cor I mines uu de having been worked S0 years ago or more, and the ores only ¢ a little over 1 per cent. of tin. ~ The cost of pro- duction in Cornwall is greaton account of the expensive hoisting works employed. The mines of Malacea and Australia are placers, and the production from them is diminishing yearly, Tin is worth about 26 cents per pound, and re- cently, during the *corner” caused by the French syndicate, was worth 37 cents per pound: 25 cents per pound is the normal pri Now, the ores of the Black Hills are found to run all the way from 2 per cent to the ton of stuff up to 80 per cent. Of course, the last is extraordinary and rare; but I have heard from good authority of at least one mine where that is the percentage obtained. But take the minimum and consider it the B to the ton will give ¥ pounds of iterite. From this $0 per cent of pure tin can be saved, or thirty-six pounds. This is worth 26 cents per pound, or $0.36. The cost of mining: milling, re- ducing and ing is shown by Prof, Curpenter to be about $2.63 per ton of the stuff, thus giving a it of $6.71. This is far in excess of the profits of Cornwall mines. Now, the ore bodies are beyond question exceedingly large, and are pronounced to be so by Profs. Carpenter, Blake, Riotte, Vincent, Dr. Emmons and several others who have made careful exumina- tion on the ground, aud whose reputa- tions extend to the two continents. Then again, the ores are found to be rich on the surface and the expense of huiafluF is therefore saved from the the cost of production.

The result was that the new fangled and expensive contrivan failed and the supposed mic impediment was not removed.
