PLENTY OF WORK FOR ALL WHO WISH IT Many Companies Planning to Work en n Larger Seale Than Ever Before—Gold Found in a Coal Mine, DEADWOOD, §. D, Jan. 4.—(Special)— he year just closed has been a very suc- cesstul one for the Black Hills, for besides the success which has attended on the mining enterprises already established, new companies have been formed, new mills started and new mines opened which will pot only give employment to more miners, but will add to the yearly output of gold As near as can be figured, the gold prodnct alone of the Black Hills amounted to $8,373,392. This amount was secured from 1,869,944 tons of ore, of an average value of $455 a ton. Nine new plants are in eourse of erection, and will be in operation before the present month has passed, and with these running the total output of the mines will be increased 33 per cenf, and the output of bullion amount to something over $1,000,000 a month, The new plants will run on higher grade ore than has been treated as a general thing in the plants now In operation, so the estimate of $1,000,000 a month is not an excessive one; in fact, it 1s a little low, and It would not be surprising did the amount of gold produced equal $14,- 000,000 for the year. The figures above given do not include the silver and copper and lead produced for the year, which will amount to at least $1,500,000. The year has been a very prosperous one 1n every line of industry in the Black Hills In the city of Deadwood alone the new bulldings erected have cost over $600 900, while in the city of Lead the building op- erations have required the expenditure of much, if not a little more money, Sev- al of the smaller mining camps of the northern Hills have been visited by bufld- 1ng booms, especlally the new town of Mait- land, in the Garden City district, whero 18 located the mew milling plant of the Penobscot Mining company. At this place & complete town has grown up around the works of the company, and a postoffice, express office, public schools and the other conveniences of a city established. Busi- mess has been good and the merchants en- Joyed a bigger trade than ever before, mors men have been employed, and the idle men have been those who did not wish to labor, and would not. The new year opens ‘with the brightest of prospects, and not kick 1s comlag to anyone engaged in min- ing or trade. Strike of Phonolite. A strike of rich phonolite ore has been made In the Elkhorn mine, situated on Deadwood gulch, west of Central .City. The find was made in the tunnel which is being driven into the hill by the company, and it 18 sald to be from four to six feet wide, a ‘vertical vein of ore. The ore is said to be 'very rich, some of it assaying up into the hundreds of dollars. The Elkhorn adjoins the Pennsylvania mine, from which has ‘been shipped so much rich ore. This is the fourth strike of rich ore which has been made in the same neighborhood, the Pennsylvania being the first ground upon which phonolite in anything llke quantity had been found. Then came the Golden Treasure and the Gladiator, all of them at the present time taking.-out rich ore. The Big Four, across the gulch from these loca- tiops, also has the same ore In its work- ings, and all of them appear to be of the same average richness. It is sald that a plant will be erected on the Gladiator ground in the spring for the treatment of the ores from this district, and appear- ances at the present time would indicate that it would be a paying Investment, for there is certainy ore enough of this char- acter In the district to keep a good-sized plant running. The Bessle group of claims, in Grizaly guch, owned by Pete and Mike Jennings, s showing up some gool prospects, which have been brought to light during the re- cent assessment work on the ground. The property adjoins that on which the Oro Hondo is putting down a deep shaft and has been opened up by & number of shafts and drifts. A good deposit of cyaniding ore bas been uncovered, which glves an average value of $4 a ton. The ore is a mineralized porphyry, and so lies that but little diMculty or expense will attend the ‘working of it. The owners are negotiating for the erection of a cyanide plant, which ‘will probably be one of sixty tons. It 1s sald that an analysis made at the | Horseshoe smelter in Rapld City of the Neowcastle, Wyo,, coal shows that the coal | The | Horseshoe company recently purchased the control of the coal mines at Newcastle and they are now being worked under the di- rection of the company’'s officials Custer City Prosper; CUSTER CITY, 8. (Special.) ~The shaft on the Saginaw mine is now down 143 feet, and at that depth the veln 1s strong and carriee good values. The ore in the bottom of the shaft carries a little more iron than it does closer to the sur- face, but it is & good concentrating prop- osition and will pay to free mill. The saw- mill on the ground has been in operation all of the fall and during the winter up until last week, and the company now has on hand an abundance of timber cut and framed for use in the workings, the supply being sufMcient to last through the win- ter. Everything about the property is in excellent shape, and the mine by the time | ®pring opens will be in a good condition to furnish any amount of ore for milling. Returns have been recelved from a car- load of ore recently shipped to Denver for treatment from the Le Roy mine, which | terson of Calcutta and his family. Sofeama.

The ore is really a free milling, congentrating proposition, but 1s alsc a good smelting proposition. They have a big body of ore in the mine, some of which is very rich, but the average will do about as the figures given above. The first of the year In this district saw every claim on which a showing of ore has been made represented, so there was no opportunity given for the jumper to get | in his work. All of the ground which gives | the least encouragement is being worked, and the people down here expect to see as much activity in mining in this section as that leh characterized the minlng districts of the northern Hills, and it is more than likely that a number of good properties will be put on a producing ba- sls next spring. Among these properties will undoubtedly be the North Star group, | Lahore. upon which as much work has been done | (abd upon which as much momey has been | ‘expended as any group of claims in the uthern Hills.

The company owns a good water right and it is possible that it may erect a stamp mill on it the comiag ing and_later add a cyanide plant to the tailings. Boarding houses and offices will be erectod on the ground this winter and a force of minefs placed at work getting out ore. The Horseshoe smelter at this place is running night and day at its full capacity on ore from the company’s properties in the Bald mountain district and glving the best of satisfaction. !

The Spearfish compauy of this amount contributed $6,000 The express office for the month of December shippad more gold than in any previous month of the year, and now that the Penobscot com- rany's big mill at Garden City s in op- { eration and the Golden Creat cyanide plant in Two Bit started on its Initial run it is expected that the month of January will be the largest month that the office has ever had, as the output from these two (mills alone is expected to aggregate at least $45,000 a month, if not more. REPORT ON LAND QUESTION Irish Landlords Should Reside in Ire- 1and, Even 1f Paid by Govern- ment to Do So, it Says. tre LONDON, Jan. 4.—The Irish land con- ference has issued a voluminous report of | its deliberations, in which it Is declared | that the only satisfactory settlement of the existing land question is the substitution of an occupying or proprietary ownership of 1and for the existing dual ownership. As the process of direct state Interfer- | ence in purchase and resale would be gen- erally tedlous and unsatisfactory, there- | fore, except where owners or half of occu- piers so decree, and except in those dis- tricts under the congested districts board, | the report recommends that the settlement should be made between the owner and the occiipier, subject to the necessary investi- gation by the state as to title, rental and security, The report emphasizes the desirability of inducing landlords to continue to reside | in Ireland, and with this purpose in view, it says, an equitable price should be paid owners, based upon Income, and that pro- vision ought to be made for the resale to owners of mansion houses and demesnes. The purchase price should either be as- surance by the state of such income, or the payment of a capital sum producing it, at 3or 4 per cent. If guaranteed by the state, tenants' repayments should be ex- pended for a term of years, securing a re- ductlon of from 15 to 25 per cent on rents. To do this may involve some assistance from the government beyond the use of its credit, and the report considers that such assistance would be justified fully in the future welfare of Ireland and the settle- ment of this vexing problem. The report offers no definite financial proposals, but it considers that an unex- ampled opportunity exists at the present moment to deal with this question suce cesstully. It declares also that the solution of the land question should be accomplished by a settlement of the evicted tenants question on an equitable bas Captain Shawe-Taylor, secretary of the conference, left here soday for the United States on toard the Cunard line steamer | Ivernia.

It is also said to give valuable suggestions to Chief Secre- tary for Ireland Wyndham for the projected lana bill. The government organs, while pointing out that the conference does not represent many of the great landlords, commend the tone and disposition of the conference as | revealed in its report as very hopeful for the future of Ireland. These papers con- tend that the report involves the com- plete repudiation of the whole Gladstonlan policy of land reform, namely dual owner- ship.

The silken the uniforms of the Orlentals, blazing with jewels, made the scene a most brilliant one. Lady Curzon and the duchess of Con- naught walked up the hall together, both attired in dresses of white and silver and wearing diamond coronets. They took their seats behind the golden thromes occupled by the viceroy and the duke. During the ceremony of investiture the | Douglass, Philadelphia bands rendered music from the balcony. When the herald and trumpeters announced the beginning of the function a red silken curtain at the foot of the hall was drawn aside and the grand procession through the bullding began.

GREAT DEVELOPMENT OF WEST NOTED dation and Sober & Up Process on Stock Market Is Beginning to Show a Wholesome Effect. NEW YORK, Jan. '4.—(Special)—Henry Clews, In his weekly market letter, sa The year opens under somewhat different auspices than in 102 Then the top of the “boom” was not in sight. Today Il has been falrly passed; at least so far as Wall street is concerned. While the industrial, commercial and agricultural interests of the country continue enjoylng great pros- perity, Wall street Is soberly contemplat- ng {ts past excesses. The period of intox- ication is over; the depression following has also falrly passed off, but the rank and file are still pondering over the extraordinary doings of the last few years and endeavor- ing to return to more normal conditions. The result Is a somewhat confused though not unprumising outlook. A look into trade conditlons shows that the volume of business continues on an enormous scale. The growth of population and the spread of prosperity among the masses mean a great consumption of the necessaries and comforts of life, to say nothing of luxuries in demand by the wealthy, The spirit of lavishness is abroad in sharp contrast with a former spirit of economy; and this alone s a tremendous trade stimulant. In many cases production, rapldly as it is Increasing in various lines, has falled thus far to overtake consump: tlon, and so prices continue high. All the chief industries are actively employed; and, if_profits are declining, the voiume of or- ders shows no diminution. No Reaction in Everyone has been expecting a reaction Ia the iron trade; vet the great steel coi- poration is still rushed with orders and has plenty of business in sight for menths 1o come In spite of increased competition; it development of the country and new 'uses for iron setting aside all calculations basc upon former standards. The same is true in_many other lines of industry, old e: tablishments and new ones being fully em- ployed, with no immediate prospect of oversupply. In the agricultural feld sim- flar conditions prevail. Another crop fal ure Iike that of 197 would have been dis- astrous. Instead, we have been favored with large crops and good prices, so that the farming classes are unusually well-to- do Throughout the west there is great activity and astonishing development. This is demonstrated by the congested condition of trafc on all the principal railroads, as Well as by the fact that the freight move on the Great Lakes in 1902 was about per cent greater than in the previous y ust how soon the progressivs movement will exhaust itself cannot be toretold; but on Trade. theso activities are marvelous testimony of the vigorous growth of the country. There are indications, however, that the vendulum has swung' almost to its limit, one being the speculation in real csiate throughout the country. Experlence sliows that all great trade movemenls are iol- lowed by heavy Investments in rem! es- tate after every other fieiu has bisn ey ploited. There I8 no reason to beveve o her. wise than that the same ruie wiil £gain. Increasing importations m.el Lo, be iost sight of as depression abroad encour- nges the shipment of products at prices that must sooner or later compete with our own. The present outlook, however, is for another good season, to be continued at least until the next harvest, and that will be a pivotal test; for good crops invariably insure pood times, while a partial fallure, should it come this season, will certainly precipitate reaction. Improvement in Stock Market. As for conditions within the stock market, they show distinct Tmprovement. Of course national prosperity is the bedrock of values on the Btock exchange: speculative ex- cesses of the last few years naturally pr duced the recent severe reaction, But Wall sireet has commenced discounting all the 0od features again, and is now recovering rom the forced contraction that followed the inflation of 181 and 1%2. There Is still a large mass of undigested securitics to be disposed of, and while money con- tinues high stocks cannot do excessive climbing. ~ Nevertheless, the llquldation of the last three months has done good; credit s in better shape and money prom- ises to be easler following the large an- nual disbursements and a_return of car- rency from the interlor. Our indebtedness abroad has been reduced, and exports of corn and cotton should soon increase, thus diminishing the tendencles for gold exports that later on will have to be reckoned with. Another consideration remains which need not be forgotten. The market is In control of strong hands and concentration in banking, railroads and industriale has cre- ated a resisting force of great and unknown capacity. This vast power can he readily used to restrain downward movements; its effectiveness in stopping a specalative mania has already been demonstrated dur- ing the lust three months; and so long as it is used for steadying purposes, rather than promoting questionable ventures, ths effect on the stock market will be bene- fielal. January should witness a more ac- tive market. There is much less reason for suspense; prices have had a sharp decline and the ‘opportanities for trading promise to be safer and more attractive than in the last two months. Conservatism, how- ever, I8 still the wisest course. 0'd :rue London Money Market.
