e ¥ o “Rension of LY BEE MONDAY, DE SCEMBER 1¢ MINING IN THE BLACK HILLS 010 Wighland Ohiof Resurrected After Yoars of Tdleness, ' CYANIDE PROCESS GIVES RENEWED YOUTH Company's Rig t Rendy—Omuha Business Men Pin Faith New to North Star, DEADWOOD, & D., De (Spectal)— The Highland Chief Mining company, whose #tockhiolders are for the most part Kansas City people, began treating ore again at the old mine in Spruce gulch this week. The mine was a good producer until the free milling ore became worked out and another process besides amalgamation became nec- ©hsary to extract tho values. The company has now fnstalled a cyanide annex to the twenty-stamp mill and it is practically cor tain that the proposition from now on will be a great success. The mine holds a large amount of falr grade ore, which can be worked profitably if the cyanide process will make only fair extraction. The capa- city of the plant Is eighty tons a day. This Is another instance where an old mine has been resurrected after years ot all due to the cyanide process Word comes down from the Ragged Top district that the Deadwood-Standard com- pany has practically completed its new 200- ton cyanide plant and that as soon as & fow additions are made it will be ready to start, The company has turned all of its attention to opening up the immense bodies of low grade cyanlding ore that run under the Krass roots In thag district. The company has one large shoot of $10 ore not more than seventy-five feet from the mill. All that fs necessary i3 to break down the ere from the surface and dump It into the crushers. This can be done for an ex- tremely small cost, for the ore is easily broken. idleness, ‘oming Cyanide District, Ore exists all around the mill and prac- tically the entire block of ground owned by the company is one sheet of ore that can all be broken and milled. The Ragged Top district covers a block of ground about five miles north and south and four miles east and west. The eame ore shoots are found runnlng in all directions through the camp It 18 belleved to be the coming cyanide dis- trict of the hills. The ore is porous and is susceptible to the cyanide process. It s in this distriot that the Spearfish Mining com- pany made such & success of the cyaniding of ore heforo the 200-ton mill burned. Work has been resumed on the old Mon- tana mine, two miles northwest of Roch- ford. Tho principal owner Is former Gov- ernor Smith of Vermont. The mine was worked in the early days of that part of the country, but it was impossible to save the values suffclently by amalgamation and it was closed down, The property s now to be thoroughly developed and a modern cyantdo mill is to be erected. There is a largo ore body. Developed by Omaha Capit 1t Is sald the North Star Mining company, operating nine miles northwest of Custer, 15 about to Install a cyanide plant, with stamps and amalgamation. The mine is opened - thoroughly at present, a large amount of ore having been opened up. The capital used in this development work has come entirely from Omaha business men. It 1s sald a contract will be let about the first of the year for the new plant. In the meanwhile, wark {s to be begun on the ex- the shatt to the 600-foot level from the 8300-foot level. Scveral velns of ofo exist in the mine, running parallel with ore running considerably better than $30 a ton gold. North of this mine is the Sagi- naw mine, which is being opened by Michi- gan and New York people. A dfamond drill 1s boing used to prospect the velns at the 400-foot level. Six rich velus run parallel, the aseay value of each being higher than the average ore in Custer county. A car- load of ore sent to Denver for a test run gave an average value of $86 a ton gold. | Tho company is about to Install a cyanide plant and a steam holst. Resumes Lithograph Quarrying. The Black Hills Porcelain Clay and Marble company of Detroit bas resumed work on the lithograph stone quarry west of Custer. Tt is asserted by the manager that a carload of the stone is ready for shipment, there belng many blocks that will cut and finish as large as thirty-six fnches square. The stone is belng used in small quantities in Chicago and Detroit The last geologleal report on the Black Hills, just issued by the government, makes favorable mention of this deposit of the stone. The company has Just received a new channeling machine, to be used in the quarrylag of marble, the quarry being five miles northeast of Custer. The second mica mine has been bought and develop- ment work has been begun on It. @harles C. Nason, a Vermont marble man of thirty- one years' experlence, has arrived to take charge of the quarry work. Another Big Sulphide Vein, It is said the Maloney Blue Lead Mining company has encountered the second big vein of sulphide ore in the Blue Lead mine, in Pennington county. The tunnel Is now in over 1,800 feet and it has already cut through a veln of ore 120 feet wide, which goes well Into gold and copper. It is the bellet that a second big vein of ore will be found still farther in the mountain, Judg- ing by the surface indications. Prominent Colorado people are Interested in this mine, including John Harnan of Colorado Springs. Titanie to Resume Work. The Titanic Mining company will resume work in the shaft in the Carbonath district the first of the year. H. R. Bartlett, presi- dent, Las returned from Minneapolis au other eastern citles, where he has been several months in the interest of the com- pany. A new boller has been installed at the hoisting plant and a siuking pump has been obtained for temporary use. The shaft 18 to be sunk to the lower quartaite le whera croas-cutting will be done in search of tho flat shoots of ore that are belleved to exist in that district. The company owns over 700 acres of patented ground The stock s held for the most part in the eastern part of South Dakota. Capital for the Crown ¥ 1t is_rumored that eastern parties have made an offer to the directors of the Crown Hill Mining company to pay up all of the indebtedness of the company, taking for their interest the Spokane mine in Custer county, and leaving the Crown Hill com- pany the gold-bearing property at Crown 1ill Station, which would then be clear of wll encumbrance. The Crown Hill mine has a large amount of low grade cyan!ding ore that has been blocked out ready for mill- fug. It was opened up before much ex- perimenting had been done with the cyanide process. It can now be worked profitably An indebtedness of $30,000 is sald to exist sgalnst the company. The Spokane mine bas u fissure vein of galena ore over thirty teet wide and It Is considered it would be a paying proposition at the start. A fifty- bou concentrating plant is at the mine Cantle Creek Ready for Business, Three carloads of machinery and supplies sre expected soon to arrive at Myetie for the Castle Creek Mining company, which was recently organized. This will include a rmall stamp mill, hoisting plant and pumps wnd & carload of provisions. The company ! wiil begin immediately to sink a deep shaft on one of the ore veine, The mill will be in- talled and the ore taken from the develop- OHIO REPUBLICAN SPLIT ment work in the shaft will be treated e which will about pay for the working ex- | pag of Foraker and Nanna Cosfliot Nt penses. Pennsylvania people are interested | in the company. The ground embraces a in Wight. rich block un Wheeler hill, which has long been worked for placer gold. Castle Creek Is one of the richest placer workings in the Black Hills, The Wheeler hill property fs on an extension of the Standby and Look- out properties that have been worked suc- cessfully between Castle Creek and Roch- ford. 1t {s practically a new mining dis- trict, but 1s now recelving considerable at- tention from capitalists T ———— Amusements Orpheum, Despite the fact that the Florenz troupe the destinction of being placed in the “headline” position upon the wock's vaudeviile bill, which had its initial presentation at the Orpheum Sunday after- nooh, the honor of the position wae fairly shared by George Gardner and Joseph Mad dern, who furnish a delightful half-hour's entertalnment with a little comedy from the pen of Georgo H. Emerick, entitled “Too Many Darlings.”” It is brimfull of healthy action and sparkles with bright lines and witty sayings, the full value of which is made to stand out bold by the clever inter- pretation given it. Miss Gardner is an ac- tress of refinement and rare ability, while Mr. Maddern is a comedian whose methods are deserving of high praise. Miss Gard- ner's stucning gowns are by no means the of acrobats have least attractive part of the sketch, to the | women at least. The Florenz troupe, who are old favorites here, are certainly entitled to the distine- tion of being called equilibristic marvels Although there are seven peoplo in th troupe the principal feats are performed by the two younger members, boys of 12 and 13 respectively. The latter does single, double and twisting pirouettes by the score, while the former accomplishes the remarkable feat of turning a triple somersault, som thing which has as yet been accomplish by no other acrobat in the world, There is « stylo and finish to the act that is com- mendable. Cora Tracy 1s an unassuming little voeal sololst with a rich contralto voice of real merit. Her selections are well chosen and eho has the prafseworthy faculty of not overdoing things by stringing her act out to a tiresome length. The three Brooklyns, musical comiques, offer a novel specialty, in which a number of unique instruments are used. Morrisey and Rich, comedians, the four juggling Deemers and the kino- drome compose the balance of the bill, At the Boyd. Milt Barlow, the veteran minstrel, was seen at Boyd's last uight in a new role. He appeared as the central figure— Uncle Tom"—In Al W. Martin's production of that ever green old drama, “Uncle Tom's Cabin.” Probably the part was never so well han- dled in this city before. It is presented by the Martin company with a wealth of pic- turesque scenery and stage adjuncts. The cotton-picking scene, which employs some thirty negroes and several donkeys, is most realistic, as are several others shown. The singing and dancing of the happy cotton- pickors is most pleasing. The plece will be glven tonight, Tuesday night, and at a spe- clal matinea for echool children Tuesday afternoon. The curtaln will not rise on the performance until after school hours, Tonight a buck and wing dancing contest will be held, in which local talent may eater, Minco's Trocadero.

Many | engagements are reported between the in | surgents and the men of General ommand, in which the insurgents are al most invariably routed. Lieutenant Hen nessy of the Eighth infantry, together with one American scout and six Filipinos, cap- tured an insurgent major with forty-two men, twenty-one rifles and $00 rounds of ammunition without the loss of a man. A number of captured documents and papers now In the hands of General Bell implicate in the insurrection the presidente and other prominent natives of Lian, Ba- tangas province. General Bell has notified the natives that on December 28 he pur- poses to concentrato them in the neighbor- hood of the towns. He will move their | Hvestock, rice, ete, to within the limits of concentration. After that day everything | without these limits will be confiscated.
