OMAHA DAIL MINING IN THE BLACK HILLS Imperial Oy STOCK OF CLEOPATRA ABOVE PAR Oompany Oentracts for New ide Plant at Deadwood. Permanent Improvements at the Unele Sam—Hidden Fortune Cat- ng Tunnel Near Central Clty— New Shaft at Liszie Mine. DEADWOOD, & D, June 16.—(Special.)— The Imperial Mining company of this city has let a contract for the erection of a 100-ton eyanide plant, which will be built immediately in ths First ward. It is to be the most complete plant of its kind in the Black Hills. The Imperial company is a reorganization of the American Express company. 1t holds a large acreage of ground In the Black Tall district west of this uity. Four shoots of ore have been opened up on lower quartzite, which run from $10 to $30 per ton gold. It is ame- nable to the cyanide process, a test run on several thousand tons of the ore having been made It I8 the helief of the company that there 18 a free.milling bearing formation be neath the quiizite, on the ground, and the new cyanide plant will be bullt with the expectation of some day putting in stamps The stock of the company Is beld mostly 1o Pennsylvania. This will make the third cyanide plant for the First ward of Dead- waod. It 1s now expected that the Dakota company's plant will be ready for operation by the first of August. It will have a ca- pacity for treating 100 tons per day and it Is being built almost entirely by money furnished by Deadwood business men. Cleopatra Mine Sells Hiwh. The stock of the Cleopatra Mining com- pany has gone far above par value. This 18 a good thing for South Dakota investors, . aince most of the stock in 18 held by men living in the eastern part of this state. At the annual meeting of the company, which was at Aberdeen, S. D, this week, it was voted to place the re-| maining stock In the treasury at $1.50 per share and most of it was subscribed for by the officers and stockholders of the com- pany at the meeting. The Cleopatra company has one of the finest mines In the Black Hills, which is lo- cated In the Squaw creek district, adjoining the Ironsides mine. The latter property was bought some time ago by Colorado 8prings people. The Cleopatra mine has a Iarge amount of $10 ore, which Is found in the upper contacts. The lower ore con- tact on quartzite has not been touched yet, although a shaft has been put down nearly to that level. It is believed that ore shoots will be found on quartzite the same as in the other producing districts farther south. It is the intention of the company to sink the shatt deeper this season and $20,000 will be expended in development work. The company has a fifty-ton cyanide plant in operation, which will probably be doubled in capacity this summer For several months past monthly dividends have been paid to the stockholders. Mammoth Steel Hoisting Plant. The Uncle Sam mine, twelve miles south of this city, Is now one of the richest pro- ducers in the Black Hills. Permanent im- provements have been added to the prop- erty in the past two years by the Clover Leat Mining company of Montana, it belng ated that not less than $250,000 has been the cash outlay. A mammoth steel holst- Ing plant Is nearly completed at the old stamp mill And underground, the bld work- ings have been cleared and extensions made, which have opened up a large, well as rich ledge of free-milling or Three months ago it was announced by the management that the crosscut had pene- trated fitty feet of ledge matter and sincs that time the development work has been continued uninterruptedly. Twenty of tha sixty stamps have been dropping on ore for several months and It s sald that the cleanups are very heavy. Twenty stamps will be added to the mill, making eight nd all of them will be In operation 800n as the new hofst s completed. This mine has been opened by Nick Treewek. who was for & number of years mine for man of the Homestake company. The sue- cess of the Homestake i said to have been brought about greatly through his manage- ment of the underground work. The Uncle Sam miune s undoubtedly & rich shoot of ore that has been made on the southern end of the Homestake ore lode.

Three shifts of men are working on a tunnel near Central City for the Hidden Fortune company. H. J. Mayham of Den- ver has been here to settle a few thing: pertaining to the development of the large property that the company has acquired. Two tunnels are to be run, the first one, upon which work has already begun, to'be 8,000 teet long and the second considerably Banker's Union of flle World Grand Lodge Meeting.

The machinery for both of the plants has all baen ordered and the site for each {s being surveyed, The ore will be treated the same as at the Home- stake mine, the free-milling ore being saved by amalgamation and the taflings immersed in a cyanide solution. The management of the company figures that it will be at least A year before the mine will be producing ore. The Newark Mining company is settling up 1t old Indebtedness preparatory to starting work again on the property west of Custer. A ledge of free-milling ore is Leing followed down which gives good values.

Saginaw Strikes Rich Lead, The Saginaw Mining company of Yale, Mich., has encountered a rich ledge of free- milling ore nine miles north of Custer which s creating conslderable excitément In that district. The ledge of ore s about four feet wide and it averages about $70 per ton gold. An assay was made this. week that went $860 per ton gold. There are four separate ledges running parallel within |8 radius of fifty feet and they all carry | free gold. It is one of the richest strikes over made In the southern Black Hills. It 15 to be thoroughly developed and a mill and cyanide plant will be installed this season. The company has a large amount of additional ground adjoining bonded. The mine is located immediately north of the North Star, which {8 owned and is belng wperated by an Omaha company. Machinery s to be installed at the Crown Mica mine, located three miles northwest of Custer. This Is one of the heaviest pro- ducers of mica in the Black Hills. The mica ledge was located by Prof. Rothwell, a clairvoyant. The New York mica mine Is still producing regularly and the Black Hlills Porcelain Clay and Marbie company will soon begin shipping mica to Chicago. Fitty tons are ready for shipment. —— Allen Halverson of West Prairle, Wi says: “People come ten miles to buy Fo- ley's Kidney Cure,” while J. A.

Waggoner of Eureka, 111, closed a week of misslonary lecturing at the First Christian church last night. Mr. Waggoner s not a missionary, but an fnstructor in misslonary work. This is a field which he has himself originated, and he is the sole representative of such work the world over. Mr. Waggoner Is a graduate of Yale col- lege ard has gone to the very depths of hi subject. Since 1894 he has devoted his whole time to this work, The lecturer's work consists of an ex- for a discussion of the headway Christianity has made in all parts. His talks are lllustrated and enhanced by the use of large charts showing the com- parative followings of the different re- liglons, the numerical extent of the differ- ent races, the strength of Christianity in the various emplres, etc. Stereopticon views are also used Mr. Waggoner's work is interdenomina- tional, he having lectured to churches rep- resenting nineteen different creeds. He lectures constantly, having been on the rostrum for sixteen weeks so far this year. From here he goes to Elliot, Ia., for one week. In Omaha he has had small audi- ences, but those attending have always shown Intense Interest in the subject and its presentation.

The home rule party represents four-fifths of “hé people; the remainder comprise the rerritorial administration party, with Goy- ernor Dole at the head. The former lacks experience, but has the numbers, and 1s supported by two of the three newspapers published in Honolulu. The Evening Bul- letin and the Morning Republican cham- pion bome rule, and the Advertiser upholds the administration. Besides the Adver- tiser, the administration has a well- equipped literary bureau, which regularly entertains the mainland with laudatory stories of the administration’s patriotic work In ralsing the native (o a higher plane of civilization. The Assoclated Press cor- respondent and a4 writer in the Boston Transcript rec.atly regaled readers with partial reports, in which the home rulers and their supporters appeared in the lght of cheap grafters striving to sell their heritage for a mess of pottage, while the territorial officers were pictured as pro- tectors of the people’s rights. The reason for this outburst was the action of Terrl torial Judge Humphreys in forcing an in- vestigation of charges of legislative bribery made by Governor Dole. The governor's supporters refused to answer questions propounded by the grand jury. Some of them were punished for contempt and a few lawyers who appeared in their defense used such Insulting language to the judge that the court punished them also for con tempt. On the 28th ult., the local Bar as- sociation, or rather, thirty-five out of a total membership of eighty-four, arraigned the judge for corruption and demanded his removal There is another side to the story which should be read in order to reach the facts at the bottom of the wrangle. The Hono- iulu Republican, published by Edwin § Gill, editorfally reviews . the ' situation brought about by the family compact which controls the executive offices of the ter- ritory. When the family compact,” says tha Republican, “controlled the courts, the Judges were pure and undefiled. The fact that a judge on the circuit bench, less than three years ago, refused to permit the flng of a motion in a case becauso by so dolng he would give opportunity for appeal to the supreme court, was not wrong; it right and proper, because usal was directed against men who not within the holy circle of purists.

The annual avernge was $376,360,308. Burope was decidedly our most important source of agricultural imports, we taking from that country in 1900 $129,000,000 worth of farm products, being the largest in re- cent years except 1897, when we receiyved $152,000,000. Asla In 1900 sent us $101,000,- 000 in agricultural produce, a rapid rise from $86,000,000 in 1894 Our farm produce imports from Oceanic also rose rapidly, being $31,000,000 {n 1900, againat $22,000,000 in 1898, while on the other hand there was a falllng off of two millions n our Imports of farm products from North American countries, there be- ing $82,000,000 in 1900, against $85,000,000 in 1865, The imports, however, in the three years preceding 1900 were larger than this. There was a large falling off in agricul- tural imports from South America, they being $83.000,000 in 1896 and only $84,000,000 in 1899 and $66,000,000 in 1900, Our African farm produce imports de- clined from $10,400,000 in 1896 to $6,700,000 in 1808 and rose again in 1900 to $10,600,000, Coftee Mostly from Bras Brazil, owing to its heavy coffee trade, holds the foremost place in the ranks of countries sending us coffee supplies, its total for 1900 belng $39,287,000. Our im- ports from there, however, have been steadlly decreasing. In 1866 they were $60,668,000. The United Kingdom ranks next to Brazil, with $32,606,000 worth of farm products exports to the United States In 1900, & gain over the two immediately preceding years, but a loss of $16,000,000 compared with 1897, In Dutch East Indies the rank was third in 1900, with $27.500,000 in agricultural products sent to us, the five- year period showing a steady gain, the figures for 1896 being only $14,698,000. Cuba in 1900 sent us $2 000 in farm produce, the war resulting in such fluctuations in the statistics as $36,386,000 in 1896 and $13,- 168,000 in 1898. Germany comes next with 149,000 in 1900, against $22,523,000 in 96 and $41,358,000 in her record year of 1897. Japan and China made large gains during the five years, Japan sending us in 1900 $24,767,000, against $18,382,000 in 1896 and China $24,131,000 in 1900, against $1,- £10,000 in 1896. France sent us more in 1900 than in any one of the other vears given. being $21,052,000, as compared with $17,758,000 in 1895, il, likewise, made a record fn 1900, with $20,638,000 worth of farm produce, exported to us, against only $11,710,000 in 1896. Italy’s gain was from $15,058,000 in 1896 to $20,529,000 in 1900, and Mexico's from $12,751,000 in 1896 to $20,- 000,000 in 1800. Other countries sent us less than $20,000,000 annually. The leading articles of farm produce im- ported by us in 1900 were, in the order of their importance, sugar, hides and skins, coffee, silk, vegetable fibers, woods, fruits and nuts, tobacco, tea, wines, vegetable olls and cocoa, the value of each of these exceeding $5,000,000. Our chief sugar im- ports came from the Dutch East Indles, $24,170,000 worth, Hawali, $20,392,000; Cuba, $18,244,000, and Germany, $12,347,000. Following these countries at very con- slderable distance were the British Weet Indies, British Guiana, Santo Domingo and Porto Rico in the order named. The Brit- Ish West Indles surpassed themselves in 1900 in sending us hides and skins, we taking $10,031,000 from them, besides $7,253,- 000 from the United Kingdom, $5,380,000 trom France, $4,714,000 from Germany and $4,236,000 from Argentina. Lesser amounts came from Europe and Russia, Brazil and China. Brazil was far and away our best source of coffee supply, sending us $33,- 000,000 worth, Some Lesser Ones. Below the $3,000,000 mark were the Dutch East Indies, Guatemala, Costa Rica and Colombia in the order named. Japan led In silks. Italy and France sent a little over $2,000,000 worth. Vegetable fibers came principally from Mexico, the figures being: Mexico, $12,113,000 worth; Egypt, $6,157,000, and the Philippines, $5,019,000. H Political Life in Hawaii pact was employed at a fee of $2,500 to come into the case and he went to the house of the judge in question and de- manded that he, as counsel, be permitted to appear and file a motion and present argument on it the next day, and his de- mand was complied with, that was all right, because it was all within the family com- pact. “For a circuit judge now on the bench to sentence men to jail for the most flagrant case of contempt of court ever seen in a civilized country fs infamous. The judge is an unjust judge, a marplot, a trouble breeder, a protector of the viclous and everything that is bad. But in the days of the oligarchy of the family compact the sus- pension of the civil law and the substitution of martial law, with its attendant evils, was all right. There could be no wrong commit- ted by the members of the family compact Men were arrested in those days of martial law on mere suspicion, and confined incom municado for days. Others were sentenced to long terms in jall without a scintilla of legal evidence. Still others were confined In Jail for months merely bhecause they had been under suspicion and fAnally turned out without any trial or without any redress, there being nothing whatever agafnst them only that they had displeaced the family compact. But then there was nothing wrong in that; there could be nothing wrong in fhat, for had not these men been punished for daring to think that the ‘best govern- ment on earth’ was not what it claimed to be? “Because oue of the best men that ever trod these islands refused to turn traitor to the sovereign he had sworn to support, even after the bribe of the presidency had been temptingly held out before him, he was set down for ruin and every machina- tion that evil geniue, that devilish trickery, that heliish fiendishness could conjure up to injure him has been done and by whom?

Houtz has received word from the commiesioner of internal s6ts at rest his contention that the agents operating branches in Omaha are subject to assessment as operators of bucketshops. The decision comes in the regular reports and briefly states that where an agent of a member of a Board of Trade operates an | ofice In another place, he is not subject to the terms of the law governing bucket- shops By this decision is ended a matter which threatened to cause considerable work in the department of Nebraska. Out of ninety brokers, probably twenty claimed cxemp- tion from payment of tax under this pro- vision of the law; other operators pald the tax under protest, and the collector re- turned all who refused to pay, to the com- missioner for assessment. Had the deci- slon sustained the collector, the managers would bave Leen required to pay a penalty of 50 per cent of the tax in addition to the regular tax. —— SUMMER EXCURSION RATES, Via the Milwaukee Railway, June 12, 13, 14 and 15, Omaha to Chicago and return, $14.75.

Sterling Morton is an Ive Factor, John P. Brown of Connersville, Ind., sevs retary-treasurer of the International So- | clety of Arborculture, is in the city on his | return from Denver, where he has spent | several days In the interests of the so- | clety. The International society is . the outgrowth of the Indlana Forestry assacl- atlon. J. Sterling Morton of Nebraska Clty | 18 the president and C. A. Schenck of Bilt- more, N. C., Is the vice president. Its ob- |Ject 1s to create a wider Interest in the | Browth of forest trees, not only in the | United States, but in the entire continent of North America. It corresponds with | the societies for the propagation of forest trees in the different countries of Europe | and is in the van of the movement At the present time the secretary-tre: urer is working to interest the rallroads and other large corporations in the move- | ment. as these corporations will soon find | that they cannot secure ties and poles, which they require In construction. Mr. Brown says that he Is meeting with con- | slderable success and some of the roads bave set out plantations. Whiie deeiring the planting of all sorts of forest trees, Mr. Brown especlally urges the claims of | the hardy catalpa to recognition. Speaking of this tree he saye “The hardy catalpa originated in Indiana and spread over Illinols and parts of Mis- sourl. It {s a tree of rapid growth and much value—can be used for ties and tele- sraph poles and, in fact, anywhere where timber of small size is required. There are two varleties of catalpas and it is hard {to distinguish the difference. The south- I ern catalpa was sent out by careless nurs- ery men for the hardy variety and many plantations are now valucless as a result. “The government made a mistake in (he application of the ‘timber claim’ law anl refused settiers the right to plaut some of | the best trees known, notably the Osage | orange or bols d'arc, and the result was | that settlers went to the nearest stream and secured cottonwood or box elder tres valueless wood and poor shade trees, that as a meuns of increasing the area of {forests in the country, the timber claim laws were practically valucless." — Reported Hurt in Brawl.
