1LY BEE MINING IN THE BLACK HILLS Hidden Fortune is Putting in Mill with Beveral Novel Features, ORE IN TREATMENT HANDLED BY GRAVITY Placer Mining on Rapld Creek Takes - Good Results Obtained by Use of Machines. Boom nand 8. D, June 15.—(Special.) the Hidden Fortune c was started last Thursday, for bullding it haviog been Colorado Iron Works company. The mill will be in many Instances an innovation in treatment plants, as the tollowing description of it will show The mil will have sixty stamps for wet crushing cyanide treatment and will be placed on the outcropping bedrock of the southerly slope of the hill in Whitewood canyon one and one-half miles below Dead- wood, a substantial snd ideal site for a gravitation mill, and as nearly automatle in operation as possible to comstruct a quartz mill. The ore will be delivered into rallroad bins by the cars, over which the car tracks will be laid, which bins will have a capacity of three days' supply of ore for the mill. The ore will be drawn from these bins and go first to the crush- ers and fall by gravitation through the pulverization and leaching process from floor to floor and tank to tank, the refuse pulp relleved of its value finally lands in Red creek. Arrested at times during Its progress for chemical action the material will pass downward automatically without elevation or rehandling from start to finsh. Use Compressed Alr. OEADWOOD, ~—Work on big mill eontract to the The most important innovation in this plant will be the introduction of com- pressed alr through extensive piping of the leaching and slime tanks for the double purpose of agitating and oxygenating the material. The bottom of the tanks will be lald with pipe with ome-sixtcenth of an inch aperture in every three inches square for the passage of the compressed air into the pulp. Two and one-half pounds pros- sure per square inch will be used In the leaching tanks and thirty pounds pressure in the slime tanks. The slimes by over- flow from the large leaching tanks will be conveyed by launders te the slime val which will be charged with a strong cya nide solution. The same tanks are twelve feet in diameter and sixteen feet deep for the remson that the slimes containing but one part of solid material to nine parts of water will concentrate and settle to better advantage in a deep vat. The slime tanks will be placed in a serles and quick sgitation under thirty-pound pressure of air causes an overflow of the slimes pass- ing from one tank to the next in the series. When the slime tanks are ong- third full of sand the leaching is finished and the vats are decanted, the solution being piped to the gold tanks for precipi- tation of the values and the sand sluiced into the tailings pile. New Machinery at Columbia. ROCHFORD, 8. D., June 15.—(Special.)— The Columbla Mining company, the ground of which is situated a short distance from this camp, Is making arrangements to in- stall some new machinery on its ground. An air compresser plant will be erected at once and power drills put in. The working sbaft hds now reached a depth of seventy teet and operations will be continued from this level and the shaft continued for a depth of several hundred feet. Thé pres- ent workings are in ore and the shaft will continue to follow down the vein. When a sufficient depth has been acquired stations will be established and the work of stoping out ore begun. The ore is a free-milling proposition and the values which it carries nre of a good commercial grade. The veln I8 an extensive one and the ore is sald to be of an average richnes and so lay- Ing as to be very easily worked. The Double-Standard, situated near this camp, is also working a number of men and of late h been taking out a pretty tair grade of ore, which is being piled until such time as the company shall erect a mill of its own to treat it, the greater part of it being of too low a grade to ship for any distance or by the present transporta- Hon faellities. Scattering through the vein, bowever, are numerous rich streaks, and this character of ore is being separated from that of the lower grade, and shipments * it may soon be made. The property is, lowever, a big low grade proposition and, like all other mines of that character, its ore must be treated at the ground and on & large scale to be made a paylng proposi- ten. Big Cleanup at Spearfish. DEADWOOD, 8. D., June 15.—(Spectal.)— Buperintendent Brown of the Spearfish com- pany came down from Ragged Top on Tu-s- day, and with him brought the semi-menthly eleanup of the company’s cyanide plant on Johnson gulch. The cleanup weighed in the neighborhood of $16,000. The mill Is running steadily on ore from the company's mines, which, since good weather has set In, has no dificulty in supplying all that Is needed to keep the plant going. A Californta company has recently lnvaded | the distrfct in the neighborhood of the Spearfish company’s ground and new holds an option on 150 acres of some of the best ground in the distric Included in the ground bonded s that owned by Starner Bros., Doyle & Sigler and the Ulster group of claims. It is all good property and fr'm 1t has been shipped some very rich ore. On &1l of the groups there are good exposures of ore, which have received comsiderablo | development, and there is emough in sight to keep a large-sized plant rupning contin- ually for years. It is said that the new company wili put a force of men at work opening up the known ore bodles and en- | deavor by so doing to get a better idea of | their extent. The ground is bonded for a | high figure, as it has always been looked | on as some of the best in t rict Allen Bros. will start up their ihirty- | ton cyanide plant on the tallings dump of the old Tron Hill mine at Cerbonate this week. Operations on the Castle Creek company's ground at Mystic are progressing favorably and the tunnel, which was started in from the side of the property, bordering on the Bittersweet, has been driven in for a con- siderable distance.

D, ne 15.—(Spe )—The Pencbscot company last Friday 1 ased the force of men working on ground, putting seventy additional names the payrolls. The comp has begun grading for ita new plant, the machine for which is arriving every day. This addition to the force of the Penobscot has rendered it hard to secure accommoda- on In the camp, so there is quite a littla bullding boom on ut the present. The | company is driving away in the drifts on the Realisation, and has within the last | few days struck another big shoot of ore, | which carries hich values.

There is some talk of extending the Elk- horn railroad to the camp, which can easily be done, the road coming by way of Blacktail gulch. Should this be done this season it would be the cause of making this one of the best camps in the Hills, for there are a number of mines which would then be worked for their ore, as an easy way to get it to market would then be provided. It is eald that the line will be extended up Blacktail to the mines of the Imperial company, and should this be done, then the distance to this camp would be short and the route an easy one. There are at least a dozen mines in this istrict which would ehip. Placer Mining on Rapid Oreek. PACTOLA, 8. D., June 15.—(Special.)— Placer mining Is proving to be & big suc- cess on Rapid creek and the firms now at work on a large scale will surely make big cleanups this summer. The Big Bend company is puting through sn immense amount of gravel every day, while the Sherman claim, on which a large placer mining machine has been but lately bullt, is also getting where it can handle vast quantities of gravel. They are taking the gravel from the top down to bedrock and making no pretense of strippjug in many places, for it all carries values. At some places where bedrock has been exposed the gravel was found to be even richer than was looked for, and good wages could be made on it by.panning. In working the ground a great deal of black sand is met with. This sand has heretofore been looked on as worthless, and at times a nuisance, but assays of it show that it carries values of about $7 to the ton gold. The sand is now being saved and run through the machine with good results, although all of the gold in it cannot be aved by this process. The gold met with on bedrock on Rapid creek is very coarse and of a much better quality tham that taken from the rich diggings of Deadwood and Gold Run gulches in the northern Hills, running about $18.50 to the tom, while much of the latter never went higher than $14. The Johnson, Big Bend and Sherman claims are the principal ones now working in this vicinity, but there are several other parties putting in machines, which they will have in operation before the scason is over, and the output of placer gold from this camp will be a big onme. Most of the ground is being worked by small companies —_— AMERICANS ARE FAVORED y Fortunate in Getting Tieketr for Coming Ascot Races. main veln In the claim, has already cut from which has been taken fine speeimen rock.

It is reported that one of the members ot the board, whose son attends the univers- ity, objected to having him under the com- mand of cadet officers and succeeded In having the board do away with the drill requirements, making it voluntary, which amounts to killing the discipline and, in fact, the military organization.

NATIONAL BISCUIT COMPANY. WARSHIP'S PEACEFUL END. The Macedon Now a V Captared by Decatur, lage Hotel. New York City’s absorption of its suburbs has been fatal to the race of hardshell brine-encrusted clam diggers that have for 300 years or more peopled the littie dot of and in Long Island sound, one mile long known as City island the great metropolis. One by onme the hunters of the bivalve are being laid away in the little cemetery overlooking the quiet waters of the sound. Those who bave not yet succumbed to the hand of time, says the New York Sun, are gradually drifting away, secking other fields, or are accepting the gold of associated capitalists who have within a month past selected the island as a fruitful fleld for epeculation or see In it golden return for investment. Only a few steps from the sandy ehore where the clam digger pursues his voca- tlon, and in the lonelest part of the island, stands the Macedonian hotel. When the| wreck of the famous British frigate and Macedonia was bleaching its | hulk on the shores of Hart's island, di- N rectly across the water from City island, & native conceived the idea of putting the #0114 and age-protected timbers to good us With bosts and assistants he made many| trips to the old hulk, gathering the timbers | and towing them to the beacli in front of a| plece of property which he owned close beside the shore. | From the wreckage he erected what has ever since been known as the Macedonian | hotel and on its side are inscribed these| words, which tell the history of the famous old house: sesesesserevertererenne . . * This House is the remains of * * the English frigate Macedonia, * * captured on_Sunday, October 25, 1812, by the United States frigate * United States, commanded by * Captain Stephen Decatur, U. 8. ) * “This action was fought in lati- *tude 24 deg. north, longitude 29 * * deg. 3 min. west.

Of thie northwestern gold district sbe, belng & draftsman, made many maps of the country from the gov- erument's surveys and sold them to the steamship lines and the rallroad magnates. Five years of active and energetic work bave given ber not only & reputation of na- business tate there | ereditors is a woman who thinks that tional scope as a business woman, brought her in returns that bave run up ) her wealth little short of seven figures. She represents several of the largest gold mines in the Kiondike country, as well as in Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Califor- nia. It was only recently that she picked up a good commission on the sale of one mine in Oregon. About the same time she sold 20,000 telegraph poles for a railroad into the Klondike. She seems to be a woman Midas. “Secret of my success? Well, T don't know, unless it be in hard work, pluck and tact, combined with honest dealing, prompt attention to my clients’ affairs and com- mercial nerve,” she said. “At first T was timid, but now experience has taught me to go out after business and to get it. I never fall in my purpose. In common parlance, if you will excuse it, T was ‘easy’ at first, losing business and money. It is different mow. I can tell a plece of real estate, promote a mining deal or dispose of & mine, close & land sale, or even float a railroad about as well as the next one. It is business, you know. “There is no reason why a woman should not succeed just as well as a man In cer- tain lines of business, if ‘she makes up her mind to it, and provided, too, that she has some abllity to carry out her scheme. I am not a new woman, but simply & plain, every-day business woman. Of course, I have an ambition to do what I attempt and do it well. This is one of the secrets of all success. Withal, I have not let any success that I have made affect me In the least WASHING BLUE FOR THE HAIR. It is Sald to Remove the Yellow Tint from Locks Turning Gray. Gray hair is an ordeal to the average woman under the most favorable circum- stances, says the New York Sun, and she probably finde in it little that is to be pal- liated. On the other hand, most women would probably not mind it so much if they were certain that all their hair would be- come white immediately and not remain for several years in the yellowish, mixed stage that comes to all women who have not black hair. It is the problem of getting their hair white all at once that troubles most women. Some of the Paris halrdressers are sald to be able to make the hair quite white when once it begins to turn. The process is expensive under any circumstances. A remedy has been found which has been successful in the case of most of the women who have tried it. It is not expensive, for the process consists in giving the hair a bath of washing blue. The blue must not be oo strong, but must be liberally mixed with water. If one bath does not have the effect of taking all the yellow out of the halr, the operation should be repeated. In a day or two after the bath of blue has been given the yellow will begin to fade | from the hair and in & short time it will be quite white. VALUE OF HEARTS. A Malden Forlorn Thinks 850,000 the Proper Figure. When a bankrupt finds that among his he owes her $50,000 In return for affections which have been delivered but not pald for, he may be excused if he regards his fate as a particularly cruel one. There is an additional reason fur commiseration if the man is 60 years old and, therefore, at a time of life when breach of promise suits should be in the nature of tender recollections rather than of present dim culties. It 1s this combination of untoward circumstances, relates the Chicago Tribune which is proving almost too much for Mr. A. E. Crocker, miner, of the far west Miss Evelyn Stedeker claims in the first place that Mr. Crocker owes her 3367 for dinners, breakfasts, umbrellas, opera , & hair brush and a collar button is said to be the actual value of the articles with which she provided him When it comes to her affections, however, it becomes clear how much more valuable the human heart is than anything else that can be named. All the dinners, break- Waltham “Chronicles of the time.” wut | 1 | purple fasts, opera glasses, hair brushes, and col- Iar buttons that Mr. Crocker got were worth only that paitry $367. The heart he got was worth $50,000—at a conservative esti- mate. It Is not set forth to be an unusu- ally good heart. It is simply an average fair heart, as hearts go. Yet §50,000 is what it Is tagged at. What the heart of a Desde- mona might be worth at the same rate it would be hard to say. Prince Henry's heart was worth a good deal. “Sirrah,” said the Prince, “did you say that I owed you a thousand pound?’ “A thousand pound, Hal," sald Falstaff, “a million! Thy love is worth a million. Thou owest me thy love!” Miss Stedeker does not go quite 80 high. Her ambition halts. Fifty thousand dollars is her limit. Her transla- tion of love Into money betrays a rather low opinion of love. "This ealva- tlon,” said a recently converted farmer, “has meant a lot to me. If a man were to give me a hundred dollars straight down for it, I wouldn't take the offe Mies Stedeker seems to be a person of that same kind If her affections are worth anything they must be worth a sum compared with which $50,000 is nothing. The fact that she soars no higher than ,000 is somewhat againet her. In fact, if, any woman undertakes to set a monmey value on her regard for a man or a man's regard for her, the public feels the in- congruity of the thing and displays s complete lack of sympathy for her. Bil- lets doux ought not to be convertible cur- rency. A woman who tries to use them in that way need not complain if the world is amused rather than agitated. If it is golng to be the usual thing, how- ever, for women to adopt such tactics they ought in all falrness to tell a man before he begine to woo them just how much thelr affections are quoted at. A man might be more careful with a million-dollar heart than he would with a ten-cent one, There ought to be a perfect understanding on in It Wholly. “Never again will I put faith in circum- stantial evidence,” sald one of New York's many independent young the New York Tribune “You speak as would a person who had been wrongly convicted by circumstances remarked the man. “Well, you don't know what a narrow escape I had,” she replied. Of course, he insisted on the story. “It was last Sunday in the park, and Jane was with me, she began. ““We en- tered from the plaza, intending to take & long walk. A brown-eyed Itallan boy cry- ing ‘Pansles’ attracted us, and I purchased a richly colored bunch. They were all purple, and deep black, the rich, uncom- mon kind. “We finally reached the Casino for luncheon, and I offered to divide the flowers with Jane. I had poticed her cast- ing a longing glance at the pansy box which stood near our table on the porch. I un- wound the tinfofl and was dividing the flowers when up rushed a waliter. “It's $5 fine for each flower you pull,’ he sald, gruffty “1 simply glared at bim 1 had bought the flowers. ‘I know you people, pulled (hem.’ our table.
