THE OMAHA DAILY BEE: MONDAY, FEBRUARY 2 190! MINING I THE BLACK HILLS Vietoria Oompany Uncevers Rich Ore in Ragged Top Distriot. \ WILL ERECT A CYANIDE PLANT % Are Interested in the Number of V Cla DEADWOOD, 8. D., Féb. 1—(Special.)— The Victorla Gold Mining and Milling ‘sompany has recently uncovered some very Fich ore on its claims in the Ragged Top distriet, ata the work which s being done Is showing up a vast amount of it. During the year just past the company Aas expended $4,000 in development work alone, and has to show for it 605 feet of open cut work and tuaneling. The work which the company has been doing in the Ragged Top district proves that the big ore shoots which have been opened up In the Spearfish, Deadwood, Standard and other properties there have thelr counter- part &t different places in the district. On the Pine lode of the company an open cut sixty feet long has been made which s In ore all of the way and has exposed one shoot twenty-eight feet in thickness, | twelve febt of which has, from sample tests made, been proved to be of good commer- clal grade. This shoot, from surface indi- cations, fa at least 400 feet wide, and the open cut will be continued across it, when drifting will be started at some favorable polnt. There is already one tunnel on this ore shoot which has been driven in for a distance of 100 feot and was mpade for the purpose of determining the course and dip of the shoot. Sixteen hundred feet 1o the south of this open cut a shaft has been sunk for a deplh of about 100 feet | and at sixty-three feet ore was struck, Be- sides this work, numerous shafts and tuu. nels have been sunk and run to prospect the surface ores. Assays from these give returns ranging from $6 to $8 per ton ®old, and all of it cyanides to the very best advantage. The company has its ground #0 woll developed that it has made ar- rangements for the erection of a large cyanide plant upon it this spring. The plans now contemplate a 250-ton plant, which will be bullt on the milisite owned by the company, ow which all the water necessary to operate it can be had and to which the ore can be delivered by gravi- | tation. The company owns thirteen full claims of full width in this district, ana on all of them ore has been found and opened up to & considerable extent. Allen B. 8mith of Omaha is president of the company, while {nterested with him are sevoral other well known Omaha men, | ‘Willlam Glass being secretary. The com- pany also owns sixteen claims in the Hornblende district, twanty-five miles south of Deadwood, but is at the present time glving most of i's attention to the develop. ment of its claimg in the Ragged Top dls trict, the Rip Rap group and with every chance of making them producers before the year is ended. Cleopatra Shows Rich Ore. The development work on the Cleopatra, which adjoins the Rip Rap group, is pro- ceeding on the quartzite and a little ore is coining into the drift which has been started from the bottom of the deep shaft.

D., Feb. 1.—(Speclal.)—The Rex | Minfog company, which {s developing a six- foot 'veln of free-milling ore on Whitetail stance from this eity, will this week send a carload of the ore to Den- ver to have a mill test of it made. The ore is sald to be rich and should the test made in Denver demonstrate that it can be successfully treated by the cyanide process @ plant will be erected on the property just as soon as weather conditions permit.

FEMALE PRACTICAL = JOKERS |, Bux | Doesn’t the Sta; ford Affalr Repute the Theory That Women Lack Humor, From time immemorial, says the Chi- cago Tribune, it has been charged against women that they -are lacking in, 1 not entirely destitute of, a sonsé of humor. The charge has been disputed over and over, but It is repeated persistently, even though one woman set herself fup as a professional humorist and inditated at least ome of her sex from the reproach. A recent occurrence at Stamford, Conn., now demonstrates that a Jarge numher of women in that town have not only a sense of humor, but are successful prac- tical jJokers. There fs a cat club at Stamford, and a |.5 cat club presupposes women, for no man would dare to avow himself a member of such an organization, The ciub in ques- tion recently sannounced its annual cat show. In connection with the show it was given out that the members had arranged a mouse balting contest as-one of its fea- tures, and, indeed, that they had gone so far as to order 2,000 mince from New York to be slaughtered for & feline holiday. As | £00n as the announcement was made there was a commotion all over Connccticut. The Rev. Delos Love, president of the State Humane society, made an eloquent protest to Mrs. Cummings, president of the club, who replied in a good-natured way and insisted upon their right to kil off the 2,000 mice because the mouse i the natural prey of the cat and, beside is & pest in every house. The Rev. Mr. Love then applied to the mayor of Stam- ford, and that functionary, who is hus- band of one of the officers of the club, promised to use all his authority to pre- vent the massacre. At'last accounts he was still striving with the mayoress, and had got no further than that. Meanwhile, the president did not agree to use his mu- thority and forbid the mouse balting, whereupon several . of the embers of the humane soclety tendered their resigna- | tions. After the matter hal been discussed in the public press and the pulpiteers had | dwelt upon the cruelty of woman, and the governor himself had been invoked to use his authority to prevent their pro- posed savagery, and when nearly the en- tire population had worked itself up fato a high state of indigoation, the president of the club quietly announced that It had | never been intended to have a mouse- | baiting contest, but that such a proposition was made as a Joke at one of the meetings, | but was mever comsidered seriously, and that the 2¥00 mice ordered from New York were chocolate mice. The newspapers, * had made all the trouble by wrong statements, but when the club observed what & tempest was raging over the matter | it decided to help It on a little, which it | did most successtully. Now that the show is.in readiness, Mrs. Cummings has “let the feelings of all those who may have supposed that the officers and members of the cat club are inhuman or would cater to depraved taste.” The members the club have enjoyed the joke greatly f any of the chocolate own with material to work on or te ship for treatment elsewhere. KEYSTONE, 8. D., Feb. 1.—(Speclal)— While drifting for the vein on the 200-foot level of the J. R. mine a large body of pyritie ore has been cut through. This ore carries good values in gold and is an ex- cellent smelting proposition. “The work on the J.

The an- nouncement of the transformation of the Krupp works into a joint stock company scarcely affected the market, since all the shares will remain in_the 'possession of Bertha Krupp. The shares will not be listed on the bourse and it is even expected that the transformation will be carried through without the intermediation of any bank. Nevertheless, the Dresdner bank stock rose upon the bank's personal rela- tions with the Krupp firm.

LARGE AMOUNT OF CALL MONEY OFFERED e of Wall Street Outlook Is it Satiatactory, with Indicn- tions of Continaation of » Aectivity. NEW YORK, Feb. 1—(8pecial)—Henry Clews, {n his ‘weekly Wall street letter, | says: LONDON, Feb. 1.—RBusiness on the Stock | The stock market has boen In a dull and uninteresting condition. Business activity, mproved monetary conditions and common interests between market leaders are all against lower prices, still there had been conspicuous lack of stimulus for a rise unfll the unexpected ease in money which developed on Friday. Many of the heavy capitalists are absent in the south, and, though this fact does not necessarily inter- fere with market activity, yet co-operative movements are not generally undertaken when those chiefly interested are so wide.y scattered as during winter and summer vacations. Evidently the Lig men are agreed on a supporting policy. ° Plans of the greatest importance are =til under consideration and the present time Is not opportune for any interference. There has been a decided change for the better in the financial situa- tion; a halt has been called in reckless financing; the promoters have had thelr activities curtalled and have wisely stopped making new ventures until those aiready launched have proved iheir ability to get alobg. Thére is conseqnently little of the danger now that lurked tn the financial situation six months ago, particularly as ade and Industry remain active. Wall reet 18 unquestionably in sounder condi- tion today than at any time during the last twelve months. Much Cal The sudden_ oftering Money Offered. on Friday of very money, by three of banks connected with the most powerful financlal interests, suggested a pronounced change In tle attitude of thexe parties, who have hitherto been ultra- conservative. As stated above, there hus been @ declded improvement in the firancial situation; but whether this unexpected funds released through the closing out of syndicates or an effort on the psrt of the big leaders to revive confidence is not made known. Such actlon, however, is a very effective demon- stration of confidence on their part, and will Inevitably have a stimulating effect upon the general market. TThe outiook, for the money market is There will probably be an abundance of funds for all legitimate re- quirements. Bank rewerves are rising with the rcturn of currency from the interlor, and moderately easy rates may be expected until preparations for April settlements are in order. Gold exports seem to be a possi- bility, but European requirements are not very urgent, and in view of our large gold roduction there s no cause for concern n this respect, especially as our exports of agricultural’ products continue large. Thus far there are no signs of anticlpating the payment of $40,000,000 to France for thn Panama canal, though no doubt the plans for that important transaction are all con- templated. Commercial Outlook Good. Qutside of Wall street the outlook s also satisfactory. No indications of any cessa- tion in our industrial or commerclal ac- tivitles are discoverable. We now have u opulation of about 80,000,000, compared with £0/600,000 't 1850, an increase of 60 per cent In twenty-three vears, and this not only explains recent remarkable activities but is assurance of thelr reasonable continu- ance. Labor has made great strides during i today getting lurger pay ever in its history. Hence, there is a heavy comsumption of ali the necessities o life. Capital, however, s feeling the e¥ect of these demands, and the number of railroads and industrial cor- porations which are reporting smaller net earnings 1s steadlly increasing. The rail- ronds and manufacturers allke are e Tecoup themselves by getting but there is a limit to tris cess, dnd we are already entering a stage where high prices in the United Btates must meet foreign competition. Weo are likely to see a well sustained activity both commercial and industria) circles &r o “time to compe: but if profits continue to decline it is indvitable that labor ‘will; eventually have to face elther shut downs or lower wages. ‘Much' will depend n the next harvest, for both financial and industrial interests will a affected thereby. Should the crops and find good foreign markets present con- itions may continue another year; should We have poor crops the results ‘will be difterent. One thing, at least, is likely—an increased acreage of wheat corn and cot- fon as & result of present high prices. We are now fairly recovered from the 1901 short corn crop, which caused a shortage in meats, OF the latter a better supply should on be forthcoming. Our raliroads are SIT serlously congested with trafic, much %o the Inconvenience of shippers, but the roads are making strenuous efforts to break the blockade.

You will permit me to say I began reading The American Agri- 4 culturist more than forty years ago, and since my officlal connec- i tion with this organization, run- ¢ ning for nearly twenty years, I have recelved all the leading agri- cultural publications of this and of other countries, none of which has surpassed The Twentieth Century Farmer.
