Grants, Mr. Maybam and General Manhger Steele, was vested with authority to em- ploy a competent to make & care- ful search and decide the location of the mill. The company has bad its plans com- pleted with regard the character siso of its plant for a long time. it is sottled that it fs to be a 200-stamp mill and a cyanide annex capable of tresting 1,000 tons & day. The ore will be treated first by amalgamation, and submiitted to &n After-treatment of cyanide. It 1§ ex- pected that the mill will be placed at Dead- wood. Thomas J.

A charter has been obtained from the secrotary of state by the Grantz Gold Min- ing company, which succeeds the St. Elmo Mining company under the reorganization. The incorporators of the Grantz company are: Otto P. Th. Grants, George V. #fres and Asa Baldwin. The company Is capital- ized at $2,600,000. It is owner of the St. Eimo group of thirteen clalms in Penning- ton county, near Harney peak, and Sylvan lake. The 8t. Elmo was for mber of ra the leading producer of that part of the Black Hills. It Das a ten-stamp mill and it was supplied with & rich quality of free gold ore for several years, or until deeper working became impractiable owf to the system that had been inaugurated. The new company will sink a 500-foot shaft and develop the ore at depth. Mr. Grantz is president of the company and will have charge of the work. The University Gold Mining and Milling company bas bought 200 acres of mining ground two miles from Rochford, of Burt Heath. The first payment has been made on the ground, and the company took pos- session last week. The property is situ- ated near Rapid creek, and there is a large milisite on the creek, easy of Access {#om the mining ground, and with water supply. The Heath grou veloped by a number of shat o) ts, opening up m ix s :fl-‘“ r ng ore, 'ow n-)l-d the ore carefully before purchasing, the assays averaging between $¢ and 35 & ton. The University company owned 300 acres of ground in Custer county and by acquiring the Heath group in Pean- Ington county ft has 500 acres all told. A part of the working force has been moved up from the University mine, near Oreville, and active development commenced on the Heath property. Reduction of Custom Ores. Wal C. Brace of Denver is fn Déad- ‘wood representing a Boston syndicate that contemplates the erection of & cyanide plant for the reduction of custom ores. A few months ago Frederick A. Smith was in the Black Hills in the interest of the eyndieate, looking up & favotable site. When he returned to Boston he had several loca tions to submit to the consideration of people. They have announced themselves in favor of Deadwood, owing to the cen- tralfty of the location relative 0 the large deposits of lowgrade cyaniding oré. Mr. Brace is here to ascertain if the visibl. upply of ore Is sufficient to warrant the ‘bullding of the plant, and he Will apend several days canvassing the region. If his report is favorable the syndicate will bufld & plant of 250-ton capacity, and it s ex- ‘pected that the treatment charges wili fixed at about $8 a ton. Options afe held on several sites i Deadwood, and Mr. Brace will probably decide which (s the bést sited to the propesed plant. A good Body of cysniding ore bas been found on the property of the Castle Rock Mining company, eight miles south of Spear- fish, the Spearfish canyon. The ore was found in & tunsel, the face of the tunnel being solid ore that assays bettef than §11 & ton. The stoek in the cofpany is nearly all owned by Spearfish men, abd the dis- eovery of the #olid body of ore has created 2 mbl- enthudlasm n the town. It s expected that the compamy will bufld & cyanide plant of its own eff thé ground thi year. Bloody Guleh Attraets Att llmu men are giving their attention to the Bloody Gulch group of claims, situated near the old Standby mine. The ground has coMe into prominence, owing to the dis- closuré of some excellent ore in the bottom of & ghaft eighty feet deep. The ore is found in a flssure, and carries some free | kold, &)though the greater portion of the vAlust I8 in the concentrates. The ground consists of 180 acres, three claims of it | patented, and it belongs to Frank Stolgl and |Anlun Ruggers, who have owned it four years. The group lies a quarter of a mile from the Burlington railroad tracks, and two parallel veins cross the group almost 1t8 entire length, both being revealed by their outerops, on which considerable sur- face work bas been done. The Black Hills Copper company has closed a deal for the Benedict mining prop- erty in Hornblende camp, a few miles south- west of Rochford. There are 200 acres of the ground, belonging originally to Menden- ball, Hooper and Smith. The first payment has beén made on the ground, and the Black Hills Copper company has assumed posses- slon. The Benedict has one of the largest bodies of low grade free-milling and con- centrating ore in the Black Hille outside of the Homestake, and the work of fully exploring it is to be commenced this month. The Biack Hills Copper company continues to crosscut east and west from the bottom of ite 700-foot shaft, on its copper ground at Copper Reef mountain. British-American at Work. The British-American Copper company, whose ground jolns the Black Hills group, bis 4 fofce of men at work, and this is to be increased by the end of the month. The company has recently been issuing first mortgage bonds on its stock to procure money for further development, and $30,- 000 has been raised in this manner. The company owns nearly 700 acres of ground in ome group in Pennington county, and #bout 100 acres in Lawrence county, where it has & good showing in gold ores. Electric drills have been purchased by the Ajdz Mining company for the Standby mine at Rochford. J. B. Baker, superintendent of the company, has returned from the east, where he has been to purchase the drills. The company has been using air drills. The power for the mill and mine machinery is obtalned from the water of Rapld creek, and while running the air compressor it was impossible to keep more than ten stamps of the mill dropping. It is claimed that there will be a fourth less power required to operate electric drills and if this proves correct it will be a mat- ter of consequence to the company.

HENDERSON FOR PAYNE PLAN Speaker of House Means Committ procity Bl WASHINGTON, March 9.—Sunday brought something of & lull in the agitation over Cuban reciprocity, although the pros and cons continued the discussion. During the day there were mo meetings, but the leaders on both eides held many conferences. The tactical plans of tbe ways and means committee are largely committed to Representative Long of Kan- sas, who was busy prosecuting his canvass. Mr. Long was in consultation during the day with Speaker Henderson, who is tak- ing an active interest in having the ways and means committee supported on the ground that the opposition is one which, to some extent, affects the regular organiza- tion of the house. The various consultations, however, did not lead to any mew developments in the situation. Those who oppose the ways and means committee continued to assert that they had 108 republican members, with some twenty-five inore doubtful. If this claim could be made good it would be de- cisive in the coming conference. But Chairman Payne and his associa giving mo figures, do not concede strength claimed by the opposition. When seen tonight, Mr. me declined committee plans or ny claims, but said he was en- tirely satisfled with the situation. One of the leaders of the opposition said that the main effort on Tuesday night would be to defef all action, at least for this ses- the medicine made for bables than Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy.

The comvention of miners bas been in session the last week will be resumed on Monsday, there belng about 150 delegates esent, and much detall work to be done. A conl ence committee of miners and operators utterly failed to agree.on the wage scale because of disagreements as to some minor matters, and this will necessitate the tak- ing up of the question directly by the com- vention, which represents the entire dis- trict. The operators will convene here on Tuesday. They have a compact organiza- tion. The miners have indorsed the move- ment to secure legislative action to require inspection of blasts in the mines and to use other safeguarda for the miners where shot firing ie indulged in.

The bill has been prepared and is ready for introduction in the legislature to abolish the trustee system for control of state edu- cational institutions and place all of them under one board of education consisting of three members, who shall be placed on & salary. At preseat each of the three educa- tional institutions is managed by a board consisting of one member from each of the eleven districts, and some of the boards have exofficio members, so that about forty persons have somet! to do with these institutions. Inass 'h as the greatest work of these boards at the present time is in the matter of directing the building and rebullding operations there is much com- plaint that the lawyers and scholars whe compose these boards are not competent to direct bullal operations. The work of the w Board of Educational Control will be along the line of that of the present Beard of Control. It has also been suggested that the School for the Deat and the College for the Blinl should be taken from the group of penmal 4 charitable lustitutions and be placed with the new board.
