The Welcome smelter, a fifty-ton plant, and two syndicate plants, each capable of treating fifty tons of ore a day, are other Deadwood fnstitutions which contribute fargely to the prosperity of the city and Burrounding country. BUSINESS IS FLOURISHING. Despite the complaint of hard times else- where, the Black Hills, and especially this ortion of it, has very little to complain of. ining operations are being continued with encrgy, and old established properties are ghowing up better than ever before, while the development and prospect work on those of recent discovery give promise that ere leng many good bullion producers will be added to the long list now turning out treasure. New strikes are reported every little while, among the latest being that on the divide between Whitewood and Yellow Creek, a short distance southwest of Dead- wood.” The ore is very rich, and the loca- tion of the new find being close to several of the largest towns in the Hills, every foot of the ground has been staked off ere this. The ore is similar in character to that existing in the famous Bald Mountain and . Ruby Basin districts, which have ylelded many millions of dollars in gold and silver during the past few years. It is not free milling ore, but of such a char- amcter that it can be easily worked by any of the processes mow In use at the Dead- wood reduction plants, the chlorination, cyanide or pyritic smelting. Assays from the veln give returns of from ten ounces §n gold and sixty ounces in silver to twenty- three ounces in gold and 200 ounces in sil- wer to the ton. The ore is found in blanket or horizontal veins, the extent of which at this writing can only be conjectured. It is believed, however, that the zone is large, as good assays have been obtained from claims more than a mile distant from the original location. The peculiar feature of this discovery Is that while but a few miles femoved from the center of population of the Hill, having been traveled daily for the last’ elghteen years, and was supposed to have been thoroughly prospected, this vast amount of rich ore should have lain con- cealed for so long a time.

T. Cond of Rapld City, 8. D,, X Likely to Be Successful, RAPID CITY, §. D., July 15.—(Special to The Bee.)—The people of the Black Hills are awaiting with some anxiety the developments of the next few days, which will probably de- clde, at least for some time to come, the fate of an enterprise of the greatest Im- portance o the entire region, The management of the Dakota, Wyoming & Missouri River railroad has for some time past been making strenuous efforts to bring bout a settlement of the road’s affairs so as o enable work to proceed upon it and get it {0 running order. Considering the length of time that the lack Hills have been settled and the rogress made In raflroad building, this re- ion, “a little world of its own,” is strangely lated from many places, both east, west and north of it, with which easy communica tion would seem almost indispensable to its prosperity aud progress. The Hills at pres. ent are reached only by two small branches of the Northwestern and Burlington systems, which run into but not through them from the northwestern corner of Nebraska. It must be difficult for the Inhabitants to realize that they are citizens of South Da. ota, as the distance which must be traveled y rail to reach any central or eastern part of the state would be sufficient to carry one into Indiana. Coal is brought from the flelds of Wyoming, not far distant, by way of Ne- braska, and ore for the smelters, to assist in reducing the low grade gold ores, which exist here in such quantities, is mported from Utah by a route so roundabout that it has several times caused the shutdown of the smelters, solely on account of high frelght charges. To remedy this state of affairs Mr. W, T. Coad of this city some three years ago or- ganized a company, prideipally of Chicago riles, to build a railroad which should ex end from Chamberlain, on the Missourl piver, via Rapld City, to the Wyoming coal fPelds, To assist the enterprise the city 4 voted $100,000, about $80,000 of which hns been used. Work was commenced at Rapld City in July, 1801, work to be pursued fn both directions toward either terminus, The road was surveyed the entife route, and graded from Chamberlain to the junction with the B. & M. raitroad at Mystic, some thirty-five miles trom this city. The laying of rails then began and was compieted as far as the mouth of Dark canon, el miles from here. An engine and train of flat cars was then purchased to assist In the work and also to meet the pumerous de mands of excursion parties for transporiation to Canon lake, Scott's Mill, nd other beautiful resorts in this vieinity. At this time, owing to the stringency of the time, money becaine scarce, and confidence in the company gradually failed, until it resulted about a year ago In the creditors tying up the road and work was suspended, Mr. Coad, however, with great persever- ance, has striven for such a settlement as would enable the road to be completed, and it now secms probable that he will suce i} He announced a short time ago, at a meet- ing of citizens, that the well known raflroad buflders, Drake, Stratton & Co., limited, of w York and Philadelphia, had agreed to furnish $250,000 toward building the road and to have it in running order by January 1, 1865, provided all creditors defer their clalms until after that time, when they would be paid by a sale of borids, This an- nouncement was in the nick of time, as the time for exccution sales matures August 1. All local ereditors at once agreed to the above proposition and outsiders were wired The result {s awaited with interest. Th by connection with wauke Paul at Chamberlain, will open up a communication with all central and eastern portions of the state, as well as with the states of North Dakota, Minnesota and Wisconsin. It opens up some of the richest timber and mining sections of the Hills, and will afford an outlet for som of the fine lumber, iron ore, gypsum, ete., which is now elther useles or commands a very low price. It will probably also cause the country to become more generally known among the traveling public as a resort. The magnificent scenery, interesting geological freaks, mining operations and grand climate are worthy of a more general patronage. West of here the Dakota & Wyoming will connect at Mystic with the Burlington tem, which is rapidly extending its lines to- ward the Pacific coast, making direct com- munications with the great states west of here a probability of the near future, the Mil- Indiuns Avrested for Hiegal Hunting.

CURIOUS HAILSTONES, In Central America They Sometimes Con- tain Toads and Pebl A gentleman connected with the Museo National (National muscum) at San Jose, Costa Rica, in a private letter to a Geor- glan, tells a graphic story of the wonderful hail ‘storm which recently visited the south- west coast of that Central American re- public. His letter, In part, is as follows: “The cloud came almost directly from tho west, and was blacker than the proverbial ‘Egyptian darkness.” We are now well used to tropical storms, with their accompani- ments of real thunder and lightning, some- thing grander than the folks in old Missouri have ever seen or heard, but in this case 1t seemed a thousand squalls, hurricanes and cyclones combined in one. All of a sudden there was a terrible roaring and splashing in the bay near the camp. I have since thought that the only thing It could be com- pared with would be a shower of bricks and cobblestones falling into the ocean. We had hardly time to take shelter In an immense hollow guava when that portion of the clond which was dumping Its immense load of fce Into the salty water veered to the northeast and crossed to the treeless tract of mountains lying over toward Hanfeta. It was not a hall ‘storm in the grand, true sense of the word—it was simply an’ awful precipitation of thousands of tons of ice from the clouds. Some of these lumps were not larger than one's fist, but the majority of them were larger than full-sized building bricks, and one which buried itself in the sand near our camp kettle on the beach was a jagged, three- cornered mass of ice weighing twenty-three pounds an hour and a half after the storm cloud had passed. As one of the boys after- ward remarked: ‘It seemed as it the cloud had been frozen solid to depth of about six or eight inches and then suddenly knocked to pieces and thrown to the earth,’ But few of the fce chunks bore the least ressmblance to ordinary hailstones; all were of jagged and irregular form, the majority of the picces containing some foreign substance, such as a ball of earth, wads of rotten leaves, sand, fish and frog spawn, ete. The head of a'dead ' sun- fish was found in one piece, and a half dozen or a dozen of the ice slabs gathered up and put into our water jar ylelded two live and one dead frogs, a mass of Kelp, or seaweed, three small pebbles, a seashell and some queer black seeds about the size of buck- shot.'” e L, T.

This is the sort of weather when every- body is thirsty, and each particular indi- vidual has some particular decoction that he or she believes not only quenches thirst, but aids digestion and cools them off, Dif- ferent stomachs are affected differently. There are men who can drink beer o whisky all day when it 18 boiling hot, and it seems (o have no appreciable effect upon them; but it is a safe proposition, which will be endorsed by most of the doctors, that alcohol in any considerable quantity at this season is very bad for the brain and the blood, heating both abnormally. When the throats of the fair sex get parched they seek a favorite soda fountain and there indulge their appetite for the prevailing fad, which seems to be as popular this year as cver—crushed fruit sirups with ice cream and soda water. The sale of this class of mild drinks has become enormous, and all the drug stores and confectioners are keeping them. While the crushed fruit craze is comparatively harmless, such liquid refreshments are not so cooling nor 5o whole- some as the plain fruit sirups. There is just now a demand upon the part of the dear public for phosphates and bromides, and there s an affectation of nervousness that is laughable.

A BATTLE-SHIP. Tt Is a Complex Problem and a Slight Mi; take Would Cost Millions. Albert Franklin Matthews tells an inter- esting story of “The Evolution of a Battle- ship,”” in the July number of the Century. This 1s a history of the construction of the Indiana, so far the only vessel of this class we have In our navy. After describing the wonderful power of this monster, the most formidable engine of war in the world, and the manner of its construction, Mr. Matthews says: So the building goes on until launch- ing_day comes, and two broad ways are built up against the bottom of the vessel, and the keel-blocks on which it Has been resting are knocked away. In the launch of the Indiana Mr. Nixon ran a row of electric lights beneath the bottom of the vessel, adding another innovation to the details of American ship building. Bach launc 1g way consists of upper and lower planking, between which is spread thousands of pounds of the best tallow. At the bow of the hoat these upper and lower planks clamped together, and when all is ready they are sawed apart, and the vessel starts. The upper part of tlie ways slides into the water with the vessel, and the lower part with the smoking hot tallow remains stationary. A launch in these days is so smooth, and 80 soon ended, rarely occupying more than twelve seconds from start to finish, that one scarcely realizes its difficulties, Three things are absolutely necessary: It must be on time, when the tidal wave is highest; it must be of smart speed, 5o as not to stick on Its downward journey to the water; and it must be accomplished without straining. So complex a thing is a launch that th careful engineer-in-charge is able to esti- mate the strain on every part of the vessel for every position it occupies, at intervals of one foot on its way down the incline. There is one supreme moment. It Is when the vessel is nearly two-thirds in the water. The buoyancy of the water raises the vessel, and throws its weight on its shoulders. Here {s where the greatest danger of stralning comes, and should the ways break down the vessel would be ruined, a matter of nearly 500,000 in a skip like the Indiana when it ‘was launched. The launch overy the machinery is lifted in and fitted, andithen comes the board of government experts, who look the vessel over inch by inch,the fires are started, and the trial trip follows.” For four hours, amid suppressed excitenient. that answers nervous- ly to every quiver ofthe vessel, the engine are run at fulf ¥feed. A premium or a penalty is at stake now. The break- age of a bolt or.the disarrangement of a valve may mean ithonsands of dollars of loss to the contrfitors. Trained workmen are locked in_ the firé-rooms, not to be re- leased until the test is over. Cooled drink- ing water, with oatmeal sprinkled upon it is run down to them ip a rubber tube from a barrel on the deck. A hose is played on the costly machinery in places where there is danger from . o¥érheating, as though it were on fire. Almost every pound of coal used on the trip {8 carefully selected. When the four hours are passed and the strain is over, a sigh of relief from every one on board, and even from the vessel herself, goes up, and the ship passes from the con- tractor to the government, and day after day, while she is in commission, the flag will be saluted, and the score or more of other ceremonies and formalities observed on & man-of-war will follow. e S P W Two distinct shows at Courtland beach today—the leopards and lions. pet i i CATHEDRAL OF NOTRE DAME. LAVNCHIN& A Famous Church More Than Scven Hun- dred Years Old. The Cathedral of Notre Dame, though it is usually called by the simple name of Notre Dame, is one of the famous churches of the world, says the Boston Globe. No structure In Paris has more historic asso- ciations, It Is more than 700 years old. It stands on the island in the river Seine called the Cite—tho old city, ~Notre Dame was founded in 1163 on the site of a church of thé fourth century, and was consecrated in 1182, but the nave was not completed until the thirteenth century. It has been altered many times and was restored carg- fully in 1845. The facade, which is very beautiful, dates from the thirteenth century, and has served as a model for many other churches fn the northeastern part of France. 1t is divided into three vertical sections by plain buttresses, and consists of three storles exclusive of the towers. There are some noble sculptures in the re- cessed portals, the relief rcpresenting the burial of the Virgin belng especially note- worthy. A serles of niches contain modern statues of twenty-clght French kings. The church, which consists of a nave and double aisles, crossed by a single transept, is 417 feet long and 150 feet broad. The choir is circular in form, as in most early Gothic churches. The vaulting, 110 feet high in the nave, is borne by seventy-five pillars. The towers are 223 feet in height, and the view from them is one of the finest in Paris. In the south tower hangs the great Bourbon de Notre Dame, which weighs sixteen tons, and is one of the la bells 1 existence, the clapper alone weighing nearly half a ton. There is another bell here which was brought as a trophy from Sabastopol. Notable fea- tures of the exterior architecture of the church are the gargoyles or profecting spouts with grotesque carvings. Notre Dame was dosecrated greatly during the revolution. A decree to destroy it was issued in 1793, but Was rescinded soon afterward. In the same year it was converted into a ““Temple of Rea- fon.” It was reopened as a church by Na- polean in 1802. In 187L It was used as a ilitary depot by the cummunists, and they afterward Intended to burn it, but it was saved by the arrival of the victorious troops from Versailles. e Litle pills for great.ills; DeWitt'e Litts Early Risers. i Cowboy and Folding Bed.

NEW YORK, July 15.~Henry Clews, head of the banking house of Henry Clews & Co., writes of the situation in Wall street “For the past week the chief iniluenc acting upon Wall street interests ha the disorganization of business arising out of the great western strikes, The remark able fact 18 that—with so many of the working classes in not on to capltal but States government and of labor lenders to carry the utmost extent that th followers made possible—the of the country has remained values have been comparatively uropean holders of our investmen shown some uneasiness at this spectacle organized revolt agalnst capital a laws that protect It—which is only w might b scted from the distance separ- ating t m the observers—and there has consequent selling by the though barely sufficient quotntions he The ause of this confidence in the i clal markets has been the conviction, tained from the first, that the disturly could be only temporary—so brief indeed as barely to afford a chince for making a safe 'bear’ attack on' the market. Wall street hes become so familinr with labor disturbances as to know pretty well how » value them. It understands the intrinsic weakness of the strike principle, when fairly put to the test, and has learied that such contests are mos apt to end in some form of i B fons that have been mibitrarily enforeed v the unions. In this case it has been soen that the arraying force f organized labor in a defe that would widly discredit the on principle and emancipate industr ong the disturbing rule of the uniol The' Interruption of travel and transporta- tion has been regarded as more a tem- porary postponement of railrond business than as so much permanent loss, and the destruction of property has heen viewed a8 a charge upon the local governments which have failed to prevent violence, rather than upon the corporations that havo been rai oreover, whatever minor forms of actunl and uncompensated loss have fallen upon the rail it 1s felt to be a sm ) son with the offset accruing from the failure of the strike principle and the sequent future limitation of the union’s power of dis bance, The firm attitude as- sumed by the government in, for the fi time, affirming that these violent method: of strike are fundamcntally opposed not only to the rights of the citizen, but also to the laws of the United States, is an in- vajuable contribution toward confidence in the future immunity of our railroads and other large corporations ns against the lawless interruptions of labor from which the country has suffered so much and by which the use of capital has been sur- rounded with very serious risks. In brief, Wall street regards the struggle as the crowning battle between the employing c and the employed el , in which the forme has regained {ts right to unob- structed frecdom of contract i the employ- ment of labor. The result of this victo 1s of no smail value to the future stability of our industries, and the cstimate put upon it is significantly expressed in the steadiness of the financ markets amid so much confusion. “Another result of much the raliroads has come out of the str Un- der the past depression of business and the general fall in prices the roads have felt ‘the necessity of a general reduction n wages, and yet they have hesitated to enforce it lest ‘it should produce a labor disurbance. They have now an opportunity of replacing their past employes, and are doing so upon a generally reduced scale of wages. A _valupble opportunity has thus been afforded for the railroads conform- ing their scale of expenses to the general, and probably permanent, reduction in . Thus what has been dreaded as a bie’ great national calamity turns out be o valuable contribution toward com- pleting the process of reajustment whi material interests are now underg ongress Is now within a few days of comipleting the cnactment of the new tariff and so far nothing has arisen in the con- ference of the two houses suggesting the possibility of a_disagreement. In business Circles, however, there is no disposition to take anything for granted in this mat- ter, and the effects of the adoption of the bill therefore cannot be measured until the agreement between the senate and house has been finally completed. At pres the feeling is very common that a general, revival of confidence and of bust hess will then set in, from which a steady development may be expected. Accounts from European centers indicate that the enactment of the tariff will be the signal for a revival of Interest in American in- vestments. Taking all the conditions and probabilities as they stand today, we should not be surprised that within the next one or two months the situation is construcd as favoring the setting in of a general process of pronounced lmymvo- ment in the industrial, commercial and financial interests of thé nation.” LONDON MONEY MARKET.

The prosecutrix, a colored woman, testified to his being what is termed a “‘hoo- doo doctor.” He came to Columbia from Vir- ginia In 1892, and was called upon to attend her son. The ‘“doctor” told him he was poisoned, and that a live animal was inside of him, but a cure could be effected by fol- lowing his directions—take his medicine, and tle a bunch of hair and herbs to the front and back door: and this being done, the patient was told to look into three glass balls and he would sce a vision of the house of the man who poisoned him. The victim declared he saw a man In the glass balls, and he took the doctor's medicine, dying soon afterward, but from dropsy, and not on ac- count of the medicine administered The practices of the “doctor” became known to the officers of the law, and at their instance the victim's mother brought suit. —— Birds and Inseots.

As it was proven she had never tried Pearl- ine, the compliment would appear to be in favor of Pearline. Whoever heard of any one claiming that Pearline hurt the hands? But there's the trouble— Pearline is the orig- inal washing compound; its popularity has drawn out thousands of imitations—so popular that to many it indicates any powdered washing material, If you are using Pearline, you are satisfied ; if you are dissatisfied, try Pearline.

This is by placing a small stecl trap upon a stake or pole set up in a meadow or open fleld, The traps are fastened to the poles with a light chain and require no baiting. At night they capture owls and in daytime hawks Mr. Dickinson that these devices per- ceptibly decreased the number of hawks and owls of all kinds. They never catch crows, however, because these wise birds know too much to alight upon the poles. Some time ago the secretary of the soclety ot tired of this task and delegated Mr. Dickinson to do the work for "the privilege of Keeping the trapped birds, the society funding to him all he pald out in bounties. Since then Mr. Dickinson has sccured many specimens which were difficult to procure in any other way, and, among them several Mmonkey-faced owls, which are quite rare in that latitude. The trapped birds are seldon injured in any way, and are much better for the taxidermists’ purposes than specl- mens which have been shot. Mr, Dickinson has an interesting collection of stuffed birds and small animals at his home, and his collection of birds' eggs Is known as one of the best in the country. His skill as a taxidermist is recognized all over this country, and he recelves sking from remo places in the various parts of the union every year. He is unusually for- tunate in frequently recelving fine snowy owls from Dakot Handsome specimens of this species command fancy prices. He has one at his home which he holds priceless, because it is almost impossible to see a dark teather in its plumage. e Pills that cure sick “At'le Barly Rise TURN ABOUT FOR SAFETY, headache: DeWitt's Willinm Devikes a 8¢ to hwart Bomb Throwers. There are fashions in everything, Includ- ing the protection of prominent persons when they are on parade, The most re regulation concerning the protection of lif in Burope is that of Kaiser William. Some time ago, says the New York Sun, there was a good deal of soclalistic agitation in Berlin, and it was claimed that the anarcl ists would attempt to throw a bomb at the emperor as he drove through the city on his way to a review. The route of the ca rlage was lined with policemen, and back ot them was the customary mob of sightseers, on elther sido of the way. The Kniser gave orders that as the royal conch approached the police, who had heretofore always stood with thelr backs to the crowd, so as to sa- lute the celebrities as they passed, should turn their backs to the street, face the mob and step back two paces from the front line of th ywd. It was further ordered that the crowd should be kept on the side walks, 80 that the carriage would be at some distance from the line of sightseers on either side. These orde fed out, and they appealed so strongly the Russian ambassador that he communicated them to St. Petersburg, and they have now been adopted by the Russian police. By keeping the crowd well back from the car- riage considerable motion was made neces- sary on the part of an anarchist to throw a bomb successfully, and, as the police were numerous, his actions would be seen by one of the guards, if those functionarles were at all wide awake. The Russian police, in addition to adopting these measures, absos lutely surround the carriage of the emperor with horsemen. peror eme DeWitt's Little Early Risers, Small pills, «afe pills, best pill Who Invented th honor of inventing the plano 1s by the English, French and Ger- Fatber Wood, an Euglish monk at e distinet shows at Courtland beach the leopards and lons.
