Dodd of Long Pine, which reported the existence of sixty cases of smallpox In that place. The message was directed to Governor | Bavage and in it the request was made that the board aesist io preventing the spread of the disease In that particular locality Governor Savage summoned the member: together and a meeting was held fn his | office at the state house. Governor Savage, | Attorney General Prout and State Superin- tendent Fowler attended and the matter was given careful and thorough considera tion Long Pine is a town of several hundred inhabitants, near the eastern boundary | line ot Brown county. It Is the division point of the Elkhorn rallroad and as such is the stopping place for a large number of rail- road employes and others who travel over territory 100 miles or more, hoth east and west. Smallpox was first discovered there about two months ago, but no alarm was felt by the citizens at that time. A month ago Superintendent Fowler was notified that a meeting of the County Teachers' as sociation would probably be postponed he- cause there were then existing ten cases of the disease and the authorities feared 10 expose the teachers (o the dangers of con- tagion. Now there are sixty cases and the citizens are beginning to look about for means to prevent further spread. Asks Elkhorn to Ass Assuming all the authority 1t could under the law, the board this morning communi- ed by long distance telephone with the Elkhorn railroad officials al Omaba and requested that no train be allowed to stop at the town until the disease is stamped out. Were it not for the fact that Long Pine {s a division point the rallroad au- thorities would comply with the request, but as it is they say it will be practically fmposaible to run thefr trains through ths place without stopping. They still have the matter under consideration, however, and may yet see thelr way clear to do as asked | by the board. Direction was also given for the formatioh and enforcement of rigorous regulations by the local boards' of Long Pino ard Brown county. Word was received from the rallroad of- ficlals tonight that there are only thirty- five casos in Long Pine at present. Infor- mation from the same mource was to the effect that schools in the town had been closed and All public meetings postponed. A law_passed by the last legislature pro- vides that ‘the county boards shall have power to make and enforce regulations to prevent the fntroduction and spread of contaglous, infectious or malignant dls- eases Into the unincorporated territory of the county and to make and enforce quar- antine regulations for that purpose and to establish a board of health. Under this section of the law the Brown county au- thorities may take action with a view to confining the disease where it now exiats. Cities of all classes, from the metropolitan to the village, are ltkewise empowered to make thelr own regulations and enforce the same and to create local boards of health, whose jurisdiction shall extend to five miles beyond the corporate limits of their city.

Nov. 10.-(Special)—The Hiddon Fortune Mining company is arrang- 1ng t0 build ita mills at Relle Fourche some time this month. Sufcient ore has been blocked out to give a guaranty of a con tinuous run and enough stock haa been sold to pay for the erection of the mills, Belle Fourche has beeri settled upon as the place for the mills. For a time there was pros- pect that the mills would go to Rochford. In Pennington county, on Rapid creek, but H. J. Mayham, general manager of the company, publicly announced that they will be erected at Belle Fourche on the Belle Fourche river, which fa the principal stream of water in the Black Hills It s Itkely “that the water used for the amalgamation of the ore will be taken from arteaian wells, which can be had at & shal- low depth at that place. The ore will have to be hauled twenty-eight miles down hill over the Fremont, Elkhorn & Missour| Val- ley road. A mill site of elghty acres has been bought next to the river. A flume twelve feet wide and four feet deep brings water in thres miles from Redwater and it {8 estimated that 2,000 horse power can thus be generated for power for the mills. The rallway company has agreed to build all necessary spura to the mine and mills and to haul the ore for less per ton than the Homestake company has to pay for bring- ing the water in from the different creeks to the mills in this city. It s asserted that this price will be something like 30 cents per ton freight. Coal will be about one half the price at Belle Fourche, at the Homestake mills, on account of the near- ness o the Hay Creek coal mines, twenty miles west of Hella Fourche. Thie Hay Creek coal Is used entirely on the North- western road in the Hills for steam pur bosel Work Like the Homestake' The Hidden Fortune company is to build | a large stamp mill with a cyanide annex, | to be worked exactly like the Homestake company's mille. Since the Hidden For- tune company has an extension of th Homestake ore velns, it Is to be expected that the treatment of the ore will be prac- tically the same as that used by the Home- stake company. The Hidden Fortune com- pany has $7,000,000 in ore blocked out in the upper ore contacts, which rest con- formably upon the slates. All of this ore will either cyanide straight or free-mill and cyanide, | shown by The buflding for the mew sixty-ton cy- anide plant south of this city, in the Yel- | low creek district, fs enclosed and the Alder Creek Mining company will soon be | treating ore. The company recently bought | the Little Blue Fraction and adjoining | lodes, which carry large flat shoots of quartzite ore, averaging in value $5 per ton gold. It is adjoining this property that the Wasp No. 2 company is making such a success in oyaniding the quartzite ores An open cut {s being run on the Wasp property, the ore shoot being thirty feet | thick and it is possible to break down 200 to 300 tons of rock at one blast, at a cost of a few cents per ton. The Ohio-Black Hills Gold Mining com- pany has been organized to develop a block of 475 acres of mining ground in Penning- ton county. The company is backed by | prominent Toledo capitalists and the deal calls for over $260,000. The ground em- braced in the deal includes the Mary Bells mine and the Cyclone property, both hav- ing large veins of free-milling and concen- trating ore. The Mary Belle mine has two separate veins of ore with a total face of thirty feet, which averages about $5 per ton gold. On the Cyclone ground there Is a vein of ore fifty-five feet wide at the out- crop, which gives better than $4 at the sur- face. The company has already begun ac- tive work. Tt Is one of the most important mining deals that has been consummated fn the Black Hills this season. Newapaper Man's Project. €. J.

The company will put in new machinery and will work the mine on a Iarger scale. There are places in the vein where the ore is almost a pure tale, with free gold evenly distributed At Rapid City the National Smelting com- pany is getting all of the ore samples it | can from the mines throughout the Hills, that careful tests may be made as to the value and character of the ore.

There Is a strong veln of low grade copper | pyrites. which is traceable tor many miles through that part of Custer county. The | drill is down about 100 teet in a copper pyrite that is nearly rich enough to pay treating expenses. Prominent capitalists of Chicago, Minneapolis and New York are backing the enterprise. 1t is reported that the North Star Mining company of Omaha will sink its shaft an additional 200 feet this winter and prep- | arations are in progrees for the work. The mine has several well defined veins of ore | that will cyanide well and the values are reasonably high. All of the money that has been put into this enterprise has heen furnished by Omaha business men. They propose o demonstrate what they have in the property before beginning the erection of reduction works of any sor Inaw's Gold Proposition. 1t is north of this ground that the Sag- inaw Mining company bas such an excellent ®old proposition.

Neighbors suggested that she dispose of her sons to friends, and acting on the suggestion she signed a paper couveying the children Into kindly bands and the littla fellows were taken away and out of town. Contrary to all ex- | pectations. the mother did not dle, but it was 4 long time before she recovered her health. The people who had taken her sons had moved away and it was then impossible to get track of her children A few days ago two young men stepped off the train In this city and. after fnquiry were ushered into the room where their mother sat. The cene that followed the recognition was one to touch the strongest heart. The bova told their mother of the years of search they had made for her after they had grown older.

Losses also are claimed on steel hillets for most of the year 1900 and for the first four months of 1301 A loss is recorded for every month in 1898 on billets, Losses are orded for the first three months of 16 The lowest cost of production for pig fron was recorded in 1804, when it was $5.65 per ton. In 1500 the cost of pig Iron was n es the Progress. Commenting in a general way mission says the com- ““Reyond question there have been steady improvements in the methods of manufacture, tending to reduce the cost of labor and incidentals per unit of product On the other hand, the advance of wages from 1899 to 1901, especially as compared with the years fmmediately preceding. no regard to which has been given in making any case, the comparison as to costs will be greatly vitlated by Inaccuracies in the items of labor and iacidentals, since those represent a comparatively small pro- portion of the cost of transforming the re spective raw materials into the finished products.’ The variation in prices is commented upon as follows: ‘‘Probably the most con- spicuous fact shown in the diagrams is the rapld and wide variations in the prices of all three of the products compared, and most of all In the prices of pig fron, Even in earller years, not covered by the dia- grams, the price atatistics show similar sharp fluctuations. The diagrams here- with presented bring out the great and sudden decline in the prices of all three products during (he year 1880. This was followed by a long and gradual fall, which brought the price of pig iron down from the beginning of 1891 to $10 at end of 1884, A sudden sharp rise in but this was followed by an almost equally rapid decline, and during 1567 and 150% the prices stood practically at a bottom | Agure. When Pig Iron Somred. ““The most noticeable movement shown In | the diagram is that during 1899, when the price of pig fron 1use from $10 to § the price of ralls from $17 to $35 equally sudden and very great, was the decline in the prices of these products, especially billets and pig iron during the latter part of 1300. Since that time there has been a recovery, whic leaves the prices of all these products con siderably higher than for the years 1890 to 1808 he often sudden and violent fluctuations show amoug other indications, the great changes in demand for iron and steel products from time to time and the marked and however. sensitiveness of prices to such changes in | demand. No very large stock of iron and steel is usually held in advance and when a period of prosperity causes a great ex- the mills often find themselves temporarily un- able to keep pace with the demand, while buyers under certain conditions are willing to pay almost any price. “A noteworthy feature of the diagram regarding steel rails is the fact that the selling prices for considerable periods of | time throughout the decade covered by the | ngures have been held uniform. Thus through most of 1891 and 1892 the uniform price named was $30 per ton; through 1894 it was $24 per ton and through the latter part of 1895 and 1506 it was $28 per ton. This uniformity is doubtiess due to the existence of pools from time to time among the manufacturers and the sudden changes following the periods of uniformity are probably explicable, not so much by great changes in demand at the precise date of the change in price as by either the breakiug of pools or the determination on the part of the managers that the pre- viously fixed prices were too high or too low. It is commonly stated in the trade journals that the nominal prices quoted for steel rails are not always maintained In practice, but that, secretly or openly, sales are being made below the quoted rates ] Change » Change. “To a certaln extent the changes In the price of rails are followed by changes in the prices of pig iron, but the more or price of raile indicated in the diagram prevents this parallelism from | being as close as It {s in the case of billets | and pig fron. We find that rails, which depends largely on the price of ‘the chief constituent, plg iron, varies much more greatly from month to month than the selling price, while, on the other hand, 1t occasionally happens that a very the cost of | sudden change in the selling price of rails appears, unaccompanied by any correspond ingly sudden changes in cost. [t naturally follows that the margin between the cost and selling price is a4 much more varlable quantity in the case of rails than in the case of billets. The great increase in the margin during the year 1898 is noteworthy. while still more striking 1s the fact that from 1898 to the middle of 1800° almost During 1899 the price of rails dld not increase as rapidly as that of steel billets and in some months Iagged even behind that of pig iron, so that the margin on rails for several months in 1880 and 1900 was cons!derably less than On the other hand. the price of rails not fall as suddenly in 1900 ag the 414 i price of pig iron or the cost of rails, so| i | the | the | prices of all three products is seen in 1893, | Almost | " BEHOLD CLOUDLESS HORIZON BUFFALO LITHIA WATER gufitmflb I G InAll Forms 4 of Bright's Disease, Uric Acid Diathesis, Rheumatism, Lithae- mia, Scarlatina, Ty- phoid Fever.
