Miller, seeing the police approach- ing his housc, managed to escape befors their arrival, but his brother, Victor H. Miller, also suspected of belonging to the gang, was arrested at the house. The house was searched and a large quantity of goods found. Just as the police were leaving the promises, Charles Miller was obscrved and ono of the officers gave chase and nearly succeeded in overtaking him. Miller es- caped after running nearly half a mile and appropriating & valuable horse belonging to W. V. Dodds, which was picketed near Dodd's grain office In North Beatrice, made hig escape. The fcers, after taking their prisoner to the city jall, returned to Glen- over to try to secure Charles.

JOHNSTOWN, Neb., Dec. 9.—(Special.)— Hon. 0. Gallogly, who will represent this (the Fity-first) district in the coming sesslon of the legislature, will favor a | stringent game law, one that will suppress the refrigerators, which encourage the wholesale destruction of Nebraska game and insectivorous birds. These birds are being rapidly destroyed through the unre- lenting efforts of market hunters, at & terrible cost to the farmers of the state. He will also favor. some action on the trespass laws of the state. He regard them as weak and ineficlent, inasmuch as at present damage must be proven before legal rellef can be secured. Mr. Gallogly belleves that not only should a man’s house be his castle, but that his lands should be sacred from unwelcome intrusion. In regard to the proposal to change the basis of assessment of property for the purpose of taxation he does not see the materfality of any plan which would still take account of all a poor man has and permit the rich man to hide his wealth. Referring to the rellef of the suprems court he does not think well of the plan of establishing a commission, but believes that the district judges should be called upon to ald the supreme court at times when the dutles of their districts leave them with lelsure. Instead of the present system of man- aging our state institutions Mr. Gallogly believes that in the Interests of good order, eficlency and economy, a Board of Control would be an fmprovement upon the methods now in vogue. Instead of having each in- stitution regarded and treated as a dis- tinct and separate establishment he wou'd have It treated as o unit in & collection of Institutions, all under one control, gov- erned by the same general rules, their wants supplied from the same source and thelr officers responsible to the same au- thority.

LOCAL PLANT TO EXTRACT THE LITHIA Reinbold Tires of Shipping Hix 1 to Germany for Treatment and Wil Establish Rednction Works In Omaba. DEADWOOD, 8. D, Dec. 9.—(Special) The Relnbold company of Omaha fs about to start a new enterprise in the Southern Hills. A short time ago Dr. H. H. Relnbold discovered a large body of manganese in Custer county and men were set to work opening up the ledge. It has been found to be extensive and will prove a valuabie thing. The ore contalus about 20 per cent manganese, 35 per cont phosphate acid, 6 per cent lithia and small quentities of iron lime and alluminum. The company has this plan in view: For the last two years Dr. Reinbold has been shipping spodumen to Germany from a mine near Hill City This material contains about 3 per cent lthia, and it is for this that the ore is shipped. Dr. Relnbold discovered the value of the ore and he has now shipped to Ger- many several hundred tons. For some time he tried to get the German company to erect works at Omaha in which to extract the lithia values from the spodumene ore, but the plans never matured. Reinbold has now found this large vein of mangancse ore, which contains about twice as much lithia as the spodumene. His company propoes to put in extensive works at Omaha for the purpose of separating the manga- nese, phosphoric acid and lithia, all of which are valuable products. The plant s 10 be In operation by spring. Two bulldings have been picked out In Omaha, one of which will be converted iato the works. Plenty of Prifit, The manufacture of lithia alone will be a money-maker. The German company could afford to pay & good price for the spodumene ore besides the freight and ad- ditional cost of extraction. The manganese ore carries 50 per cent of valuable ma- | terials, which can be saved by a sccret | process that has been worked out by the Reinbold company. The company has very large amount of the manganese and the enterprise means the Sshipping to | Omaha of & great deal of ore. Dr. Rem- | bold has also discovered in Custer county & good-sized ledge of arsenic, Which runs | about 60 per cent to the ton of rock. This | mine will also be worked and the ore will | be shipped to the Omaha plant. Dr. Rein- bold has made more valuable discoveries of rare minerals in the Black Hills than any other person. He made the first real | discovery of wolframite and made the firs: hipment of the valuable ore, which netted | him nearly $300 per ton. Sheelite was another valuable mineral discovered by him. | He has found evidences of mickel veins | | near Custer, some of the ore found giving rich assays. There could mot be a much better proposition at present than a good | nickel mine, Dr. Reinbold belleves that he has found & number of true veins of cobper ore. His theory 1s that ‘opper ore exlsts in fissure velus the same as gold in quartz velns Ho has made several important discoverics recently of copper ore, there being a num- ber of prominent rallway officials in Omaha Interested with him in their development. A fine deposit of roofing slate was found by this promoter last summer. Tho c- posit Is of good-size and the slabs that can be mined are very large. Dr. Reinbold states that there are few places in the United States where as good a quality o bullding slate can be found. There are a number of rare minerals that are found va smull quantities in but fow places in ihe | world that Dr. Relnbold hopes to find the Hills. Beryl is one of them and vans- dium is another. Theso materials are sold by the ounce and are very valuable, Dr, Reinbold belleves that a great many of tte very rare and valuable metals and minerals | will be found in the Black Hills, T ing of tin in several localities, to this expert, is but a question cf time. The finding of such rich spodumene ore is an indication of rich tin rock. near by. Dr. Reinbold states that in his expiorations or the different camps of the Hills that he | has seen tin ledges running for consider- ablo length that will give averzges in white tin higher than that now being worked i the Curnwall tin mines. New Ore in Spokane. The Spokane mine, south of Keystone, is s0on to become & producer of lead and sil- | ver ore. The mine is owned and operated by the Crown Hill company. A shaft has been sunk about 250 feet, following down a twenty-five-foot ledge of galena ore. Last summer the company built a fifty-ton concentrating plant, which handles the ore | successfully. The company has increased the capitalization for the purpose of carry- | ing on the development of the mine. The | sbaft is to be sunk to the 500-foot level | and the concentrating plant wiil be en- larged to 100 tons per day. The Crown | Hill compuny also has a mine at Crown Hill station, east of Ragged Top. Here large bodies of cyaniding gold ore have | been blocked out. A cynanide plant is being plauned for, to be erected at the | Crown Hill mine. ws of the sale of the Grand Junction mine to New York parties is expected every day. An expert has been out from New York City and a careful ex- amination of the mine has been made. The Grand Junction is called the “Homestake! of the Southern hills, It is located about seveu miles northwest of Custer in a par- ticularly rich belt. The formation s prac- tically the same as the Homestake, A shaft has been sunk 125 feet and & cross-cut at |the shatt’s bottom shows the main ore ledge to be over 100 feet wide. The value of the ore {8 about the same as the Home- stake ore and many mining men conslder |1t equal In every way to that great mine of lead. The Grand Junction belt Is sev- eral miles in length. Several large deals are practically closed fn this camp. The Saginaw Mining company, which was organized last October by Michigan peo- | ple, has commenced building cabins and making other preparations for continuous development work on a group of mining claims purchased from Custer parties, the | location being about cight miles northwest | of that city. There are three separate velns of gold ore within a radius of fifty feet, the theory being that they come to- gether at a depth of about 100 feet. Th» average value of the ore on the surface 1« about $22 per ton gold. A deep shaft will be sunk. The president of the company is Another Smelting ¢ pany. Mr C. C. Curtis of Vassar, Mich. A uew smelting company bas been or- garvized to be known as the Natlonal Min. ing and Smelting company. Tho works will be erected at Old Virginia City, near Galena, east of this city about ten miles. The company was organized by Dr. H, H Muggley of Chicago, who purchased a short time ago the Hullion mine. Tne officers of the company are: Byron Truell of Law- rence, Mass., president; Rufus R. Wade of Boston, vice president; Willlam G. Reed of Boston, secrotary; Rudolph C. Surtridge ot Boston, treasurer; H. H. Muggley of Dead- wood, general manager. This company has one of the largest and richest mining prop- erties in the Black Hills It 1s expected that work will be com. menced soon by the consolidated Hardin companles on & deep shaft to be sunk at | tormed | with Through the offorts of James D. general manager, a consolidation of companles has been effected Interest in Black Hilla mines {s greatly on the fncrease.

The arch- bishop referred to the pope as & prisoner in the Vatican, voluntary in that no phys- \cal force prevents his leaving its precinets, and involuntary in that he could not go beyond the Vatican without impairing his Qignity as pontlff and without seeming Lo accept the situation created for him by the entrance into Rome of the troops of tha Itallan government.
