GOOD PROGRESS IN LILLIAN SMELTER % Deep Snow In the Mountains Driven practically Al Prospectors Into the Towns. CUSTER CITY, 8. D., Dec. 7.—(Special.)— Jamos Demereau, who has a good prospect on the Copper Queen, a short distance from Custer City, last week put a force of men | at work on the ground. The work will be 1n the nature of assessment, but should the ore body on which he has sunk a shaft for about fifty feet continue to improve he may keep the men at work all of the winter The ore at the present time carries & falr per cent of copper. They have recently been striking some very rich ore in the LeRoy mine, which is Jocated four miles west of this city, a sam- ple taken from the bottom of the shaft going almost $1,000 a ton; but this is, of course, an exception. They have some very good ore in the LeRoy, which will run about $25 to the ton free milling, and it is said that the vein where they are now working 1a about twelve feet In width. It is the in- tention to continue the shaft for another 100 feet and then establish a station and begin drifting on the vein. The mine is looking good and there seems to be no rea- #on why it should not soon be a producer. A number of the officials of the North Star Mining company have recently visited the mine and appeared to be very well pleased with the outlook of the property for the future. The North Star is prob- ably one of the best developed properties in this district and has upon it a new ten- stamp mill, which has been running at fn- tervals on ore taken from the workings, a lack of water, preventing Its constant opera- tion. This difculty will soon be over- come, and with a sufficient water supply the mill will run regularly. The ore treated 1n the mill has proven to carry good values and will pay handsomely to work. The company is now considering the ndvisa- bility of erecting a cyanide addition to the mill, as the tallings carry high values, and hope to have it in operation early in the coming year. Recent explorations from tho bottom of the 300-foot shaft with the dla- mond drill have disclosed a twelve-fool veln of ore, which will be drifted for from the shaft, and this, in addition to the eup ply already blocked out, ehould suffice tc keep a much larger plant than the one now on the minesin constant operation. Assays from the drill cores show the ore to be of a good grade and of a free milling character. The tallings cyanide plant, which it is pro- posed to put in operation with the stamp mill, should save about all the values in the ore, and it this is done there can be no doubt concerning the future profits of the mine. Good Progress on Smelter. HILL CITY, §. D., Dec 7.—(Spec'al)— ‘Work on the smelter which is beine built on the Lillian (the Baxter grcund) group at Sheridan, is progress'ng rap dly, the masonry work having been completed and the carpenters beginning on the super- structure last week. The smelter will be of 100 tons dally capacity to start with, and should it prove successful af er a trial run, it may be enlarged, provisi-ns bav- ing been made for such a contfg ncy. The ground is looking fne, and some very good copper ore, carrylug from 9 to 25 per cent copper, is belng taken f om the surface workings on the Rita Fraction one of the mines of the group. Last wek a blg working shatt, 7x14 feet n the clear, arted on the Calumet No. §, any her ralne of ther growp, snd it will e sunk “r a aop;f'»! 500 foet and tten. drifts earted on the vein.

A great deal of the machinery for the smelter plant i+ <n the ground, and an effort “will be made to bave it Installed and in running order by the last of next January. The Maloney Blue Lead, whi-h adjoins the Lilllan group, is now working two shitts of men dally, drifting at u point 1,600 feet distant from the mcuth of the | blg working tunnel, both ways cn the | vein. A good quality of coppur ore is being taken out and should the ore con- | tinue to improve three shifts a day =il be | worked all of the winter. The grou-d of the Blue Lead has been thoroughly opened | up and it is more than probable tha' in | the spring & reduction plant will be built upon it. Rich Strike by Trent People. DEADWOOD, 8. D., Dec. T.—(Speclal.)— While driving a tunnel last spring on the | ground of the Trent company 'n Carbon- dale district, a shoot of exceedingly rich chloride ore was struck, which gave assay returns of as high as 300 oun-es of sllver to the ton, some of it being very much #icher. This shoot struck in the floor of the tunnel, whi*h was being driven in on 0 incline to strike the porphry contaet As water was coming in very' fast, the work at the time was abandoned, with the | intention of resuming as soon as arrange- ments could be made to put in a pump. The date of resuming had been postponed until last week, when a force of men was put to work on the mine. but mot in the tunnel where the rich ore was struck. Pres- ident Haskell of the company, who is in charge of operations, concluded that the shoot of ore struck in that tunnel was but a stringer from the main ore body, %0 he has started the miners working in another tunnel, ‘rom which, in his opinion, 1t will ot be so far to go to reach the main shoot. The ore, which occurs in & small etringer, is identical to the ore which was taken from the Iron Hill mine when that famous property was paying | such large dividends on silver ores, and | the indications are that there will be | struck a large body of it in the Trent. Mr. Haskell will keep the present force of men engaged all of the winter. Wasp 2 sent down two bricks for the semi-monthly cleanup of its cyanide plant on Yellow creek the first of the month, and both toge weighed something bet- ter than $10 000. Transter ot mroek. Negotiations are pending for the transter of the Shamrock mine, situated on Big Strawberry, about five miles south of Dead- Wood. This mine has been one of the best producers of silver-lead ore on a small scale of any in the Black Hills. It is owned by Christianson & Cunningham, who for a year past have been making shipmens of three cars every two weeks to the smelters at Omaha and Denver, the lead in the ore paying for the treatment. The ore occurs and the shoot which bas been worked is from a few inches (o three feet In thickness, but the late shoot appears to be growing larger. The owners will assay about $12 a ton gold. Should the present owners not seil the mine it s thelr intention to develop this vertical, and" to hat end will cut out & large chamber at the place where they have started the shaft, and put in @ small holst, making thetr ship- | ments of ore from the flat formation pay for the development of the vertical and the cost of installing the holsting plant. The Sham- | rock was one of the earliest mines to pro- duce silver-lead ore and make it pay. The deep snow Is already driving pros- pectors into the elties, the late storm hav- ing filled the gulches in the higher parts of the Hills for a depth of several feet. In the district around Custer peak, where a great dead of prospecting has been going on, the snow 18 at least three feet deep on the level, and has drifted badly in places, making it almost impossible to get around except on skis or web snowshoes. Miners in from the district, however, y that the work done by the prospectors has shown up some very good prospects, and a number of fine ore bodies have been uncovered. SUPREME COURT SYLLABI.

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE WELL RECEIVED Gold Exports to Argentine Attract Attention, Not S0 Much for Thelr Amount as that New York Supplies ¥ NEW YORK, Dec. 7.—(Special.)—Henry Clews in his weekly letter says No real improvement in the stock market is yet in sight. An unsettied tone prevalls and the monetary situation continues un- favorable to operations for the rise. While this condition continues the buiis are likely to remain under cover and await more favorable opportunities. Call and thirty- day money rates have been especially firm, and there is a didposition to walt untii preparations for January disbursements and settiements incidental to January are over before assuming any new obligations. Loanable funds are relatively scarce and command good rates, lenders still showing | eharp scrutiny and conservatism both to loans and coliateral. As expected, cur- rency is returning from the interior more slowly than last year because of great ac- tivity In the west and because of the large | corn crop, compared with a failure last year. “Even the contraction of loans en- forced by the banks during the last two months "has afforded no visible ~reilef, though it may have ayerted more dieagree- able consequences. The supply of cur- rency increased $16,500,000 during ‘the month of November, but thi, too, had no appre- ciable effect.’ The truth is that trade ac- tivity, crop demands and syndicate opera- tions 'have practically exhausted the avail- abie supply of money, and until’ the demand from some of these Sources abates no per- manent relief can be expacted. Very soon crop money will come back more freely, but any easing in rates just now would ap- parentiy facllitate gold exports, which have already begun on a smail scale; so ft is avident there are no large sums in aight for stock market purposes, and as this is the key to the situation the prospect for an active buylng movement Is somewhat re- mote. Trusts Not Alarmed. The president's message was well re- celved. His utterances on trusts, tariff, currency and other questions were about wnat were expected and had no effect upon {he stock market, The prospects of any of hix recommendations being acted upon dur- Ing this_eession of CONgress are very re- mote.

Gold exports to Argentine attracted somte attention, not so mucl because of the amount, which was small, as for the fact that London was able to shift the demand from that point upon New York. It ls for- tunate that payment to British holders of White Star stcamship stock on behalf of the steamship combination was financed without gold shipments. In spite of thi transaction it is now belleved, however, that American Indebtedness to Jiurope has been largely reduced during the last two months, and that some of tne loans held in Parls, London and Berlin have been trans- ferred fo New York. If this be true the financial situation may be better than it ap- pears to be; still there is 80 much mystery Connected 'with thése huge and eecret transactions that prudence demands a ehu- tious policy vntil the outlook 18 more clear. future is not unpromising by any means, but safety demands readjustment upon a lower level.

CATTLE—There were not enough cattle in the yards to make a market, but for the week recelpts show an increase over last week of nearly 3,000 head, and as compared with the same week of last year there is a gain of over 5,000 head. More cornfed steers than at any time tor several months, and in fact packers had to depend almost e: tirely upon the cornfeds for their supplie: as there were very few western that were good enough for killers market took & drop on Monday and Tues- Cattle. Hoj ep. rrived this week sinice that time the tendency of been upward, and the loss has all been re- gained and dbout a dime besides. The top price of the week was $6.60, but a finished | load of cattle of good quality ought to bring 36,50 or better. The cow market has been in good shape all the week and prices have moved stead- ily upward on all kinds. As compared with the close of last week the market may be | auoted 16@25e higher, and the week closed with the market strong and active. Each day’s offerings changed hands freely afid nothing was carried from one day to the next. Bulls, veal calves and stags are also fully as high as they were a week ago, with the better grades in good demand. The receipts of stockers and feeders were | light all _the week, 8o that although the | demand from the country was rather lim- ited, priccs aavanced all the way from loc to 2%c. The greatest advance was on the better grades, as the demand was con- fined mostly to that class of cattle. Com- mon stuff was slow sale, but still the prices paid were fully as good as those in force a week ago. The receipts of western rangers showed a big ralling off this week, and very few of the steers that arrived were good enough for killers. The market could be | quoted about steady with the close of last | Week. Range cows have advanced 16@25c and so also have desirable grades of stock- ers and feeders.

Trading was fairly active after buyers and sellers fii ally got together on prices and the bulk of the offerings was disposed of in good season. - The snowstorm, of course, delayed some trains, but still the most of them ar- rived by thé middle of the forenoon, The supply of hogs for the week show: a good increase over last week, but there is still a big falling off as compared with the same week of last year.
