6 MINING IN THE BLACK HILLS Btrikes on 'k Oreek Btart a Stampede to that Seotion. OMAHA COMPANY PREPARES TO ENLARGE Garden City District is Taking on Life Owing to Suecess of First Run the Penobscot Mine. at DEADWOOD, S. D., Feb., Feb. 15.—(Spe- | clal.)—A small stampede has been started | cver toward Elk creek by another rich strika which has been made in that dis- | striet, Ever since the “Finlander” strike of a month or so ago, the Sherman boys, who ¢wn a group of claims adjoining the one on which the rich ore was found, have been hunting for the vein In their ground. | hey started in to crosscut one of their Jaims and had dug a trench four feet deep almost 300 feet long, and last Saturday they uncovered the apex of the vein. The Wuartz {s even richer than that found in the Finlander ground, and has the same general characterist'cs. It is.a milky white quartz, porous, carrylng carbonate of iroy and rich in gold, some of the samples car- rying free gold in quantities, the specimens being very pretty. A shaft has been started on the vein where It has been uncovered | and {8 now down about twenty feet, and the | cre appears to be just as rich as it was | wheri the veln was first uncovered. Nu- | merous assays have been made of the | quartz taken from the shaft, the lowest being $8°to the ton gold, while many have gone as high as $200, the average of the ansays being something over $50 a ton. The veln now filla the bottom of the shaft, and, | like that in the Finlander group, dppears to grow large as It is being sunk on. The Sherman boys have had numerous offers to assist in develcping tne ground, but they propose to do the work themselves, anl they can sell out at any time to a good advantage. The strike had, as stated, caused a2 small stampede into the district, and men who have not felt the feveny before in years have hiked over the hills to the ktrike, so that all the vacant ground in the neighbor- hood, and some that was not vacant, has been staked. These two rich strikes, com- ing 80 close together in the same dlstrict, have attracted a great deal of attention to the district, anc the owners of property there cre getting busy, and it need not be surprising should other rich finds be re- corded, as the dlstrict for many years has been noted as a producer of rich quartz. One 014 Producer, In this district, on the same stream, Elk creek, the famous old Uncle Sam—now the Clover Leaf-is located, only four miiss distant to the west, and on the same ledge, | #0 It is claimed by old miners. The Clover Leat has been a steady producer for years, and when its original owners were crush- ing ore In a lttle one-stamp mill they made all kinds of money. Its ore then was | very rich, and some of the specimens trom 1t still adorn and form a part of the best mineral collections of the country. The Peterson claims, the Lucky Strike and sev- eral other well known mines are on the same lode, or mother vein, which is claimed an mining authority, Major A. to be but an extension to the south of the great Homestake lode. How- ever that may be, the district at this time is pretty well staked over, and the excite- ment which has been caused by the recent strikes in it will accelerate its development and may be the means of doubling the pro- duction of gold now coming from it. The Cloyer Leaf company last Saturdey sent in the result of its clean-up for the last fifteen days' run of its mill, and it weighed about $10,000, so that has also added to the de- * sire to become possessed of property in the district, although the mine has been doing this same thing for many months past. The Spearfish company the first of the week brought, down $11,000 as the result of a ten days' run of its cyanide plant on Johnson gulch, in the Ragged Top district, and the Deadwood-Standard has followed sult. Things are now beginning to move in-this diftrict, and should all of the work planned. for the coming spring be carried out it will be the Iargest producing dis- trict In the Hills before the end of the year, Superintendent Jackson of the Victoria Mining company has returned from Omaha, where he had been in consultation with the ©fficers of the company, and last Monday he doubled the force of miners working on the development of the big ore shoot on the company’s ground. It Is said that ar- rangements have been made for the erec- tlon of a big plant to treat the ores by Lcyanidation, a plant having a dally capacity of 250 tons, and that the work will begin | just so soon as weather conditions will permit. The Victorla is looked upon in the district as an undeveloped benanza, for it certainly has exposed an enormous shoot | of high grade gyaniding ore. The Potsdam 1s another company which.has' been doing a great deal of work in the district, and upon which there has been exposed enor- | mous shoots of 8re, similar to those ex- posed and being workbd in the Spearfish, Deadwood-Standard and Victoria, and is re- garded as just as good as any of them. ‘This company, too, is preparing to build & large mill In the spring, and all of the work being done on its ore shoots has this end In view, The Eleventh Hour is yet getting out good ore, but has not made any shipments for some time. The work of development goes | on, however, and the mine is looking fine. The Gold Hill will resume operations the first of next week. This company has been sinking to quartzite, and has a double compartment shaft now down to a depth of | 235 feet, and It is estimated that it will have to be sunk thirty-five feet further before the formation it s after will be reached. @ In the Garden City Alstrict the success of the Penobscot mill on its first run has encouraged many property owners to en- gage in greater development work on thelr miues and the district Is at the present time & very lively one. Adjoining this dis- trict, and really a part of it, is the Bl tall district, 10 which are located some very promising pioperties. The Juplter Mining company has all but completed its fine sixty-ton cyanide plant and will have it ready to run on ore within the mext | week or so. The Phoenix is a new company, which was organized last week in this district. Its property adjolns that of the Jupite: | and in some of Ms claims bas the same ore body, a conglomerate. The company 18 composed of Deadwood and Chicago people, who have plenty of capital. The strike in the Golden Reward smelter has reduced the amount of ore comiug inte Deadwood considerably, but it hag mot aftected In any marked degree the business of the city. It has been so quiet in itw action that unless anyone was acqualnted with the fact he would have to be told that a strike was on.

R. Phelan of the B. & M., who owns ke Blon mine, located on Bare Dufte creek, between Galena and Virginia City, has been shipping ore from the properts to the Horseshos smelter ut Papld City. The ore is being taken from a ver:ical, which occurs tn the slates, anl i+ reached by a tunnel. The present force of miners will be Increased in a day or so and an effort made to ship at Jeast a carload a day. The ore is a high grade pyritic, | carrying splendid valugs In gold, and an | ‘deal smelting _proposition. The vein where crosscut in the tunnel s abovt In width, and it prospects well for its entire width. The Ruby company s about the erection of its mill on the Portland mine, the property on Ruby | gulch from which so much rich ore has been taken. North Star to Resume. CUSTER CITY, 8. D, Feb. 16.—(Spe- | clal)—It s reported that the North Star mill Wil resumé operations on ore=from the mine this week. The North Star is one of the best developed mines in the southern Hills amd has upon it one of the best mills in the Hills. The mine is a rich one, and were its quaftz freemllling there would be no question but what it would be a paying proposition from the start, but as depth has been made on the vein the ore has grown more or less refractory, and at times it is almost impossible to save anything near the assay values of the ore. It {s sald, however, that the p-es ent run of the mill will be made for ex- perimental purposes, and that should the result warrant it an addition will be add>d to the stamp mill, most probably in the way of a cyanide annex. ‘The mines in the Tigerville district arc | ain beginning to attract attention, the | Kimball property, the Redfern group and the old King Solomon, which is again belng worked, have lately been produc ing some very rich ore. Tubbs and compeny, who have been prospecting in a small gulch, a tributary of Tenderfoot, have struck some very rich | placer diggings, and have been piling up | the dirt, and in the spring will cart it to | the creek and wash it out. There are many | of the small gulches in the vieinity of! Custer—dry diggings—which are worked every year, and those working them gen- erally make good wages. Tubbs and as- sociates, while working thelr new find, have run across a good many fair sized nug- gets. The White Cloud Mining company is doing a deyelopment work on ita property on Laughidg Water, three miles north of Custer City, and is getting good results. The miners have opened up a good body of ore, which assays well. W. W. Olds has resumed work in the Old Charley mine at Four Mile. When the mine was being worked the last time the ore taken from the shaft was being treated in a twenty- stamp mill, and all that eould be saved from the ore, which assayed into the hundreds of dollars, was $4 a ton. It could not be saved by amalgamation. Some of the ore from this shaft has assayed as high as $2,100 a ton gold, and the ore which 1s now being taken out is being corded and eacked, the richest saved for shipment to Omaha for treatment. Work on the old Penobscot will soon be resumed. Edwin VanCise of Denver has recently interested some Colorado people in the property and they have agreed to take hold of the proposition. There is good ore in the Penobscot, In fact, It contains the largest free-millthg vein in the southern Hills, and while not a high grade proposi- tion, it will be made to pay well if worked on a large scale. The Golden Banner Min- ing company now has the main working shaft on its property down about elghty feet, and the veln through which the shaft has been sinking still looks well and keeps up It its values. The vein is now twelve teet wide, and from tests made the ore will free mill about $3, but the concentrates from the pulp, when reduced twenty in one, will y $40 a ton, while samples from the rich etreak have given returns of as high as $304 a ton.

C., Feb. 15.—According to mali advices from Kobe, a Japanase Budd- hist priest, who left there six years ago to penetrate to forbidden L'Hassa, in Thibet, has returned, having accomplished his purpose, but suspiclon being attracted toward him, he was compelled to flee for his life. He traveled through India to Darjeeling, where he remained two years, in order to acquire the Thibetan language. Then, dis- guising himself as a lama, he cut himself oft trom friends and after a journey which occupied a year and was marked by great hardships, he reached L'Hassa and re- mained there two years before becoming an object of suspiclon. He fled, and after almost insurmountable dificuities, escaped to India and thence went again to Kobe. He has since learned that some of those who aided him in L'Hassa have been im- prisoned. The object of the pilgrimage was to ob- tain information about religlous subjects.

Not Without Uncertaluties. ‘The outlook, however, is not without its uncertainties and drawbacks.

The strongest concerns aiready conform to the recognized usages of prudent banking in this respect, and if ity enforcement causes any temporary in- convenience, which is not at all certaln, it should_be dccepted as a guarantee of ‘in- creased safety. There is no other disturb- ing element in the monetary outlook until next fall, excep. gold exporis or an undue locking up of funds in the treasury. " As to gold shipments, there ls no reason for any uneasiness io this respect while ex- orts of merchandise continue 8o heavy and h view of our diminishing obligations in Europe, where conditions of easc now pre- vail. - Still, our merchandise importations continue exceedingly heavy and the con- sequent Increase of customs receipts threatens to renew the accumulation of funds in the treasury. Unfortunately, there is.no prospect of sclentific or thorough legislation on the currency bill this session of congress. The Aldrich bill, which may pass, is a purely temporary measure for an emergency, offering some relief in case of a repetition next fail of last season’s string- ency, but in no sense providing a perma- nent, sound or elastic currency system.

Marked evi- dence of actlvity appeared early in the week and continued untll yesterday, when Venezuelan securities advanced 1 point on the signing of the protocols. The timidity which Mas been displayed by the general public is disappearing and Investors are now coming in. The feature of the week was the demand for Grand:Trunks and home rails. Increasing confidence was shown in the early removal of all disturb- ing political difficulties, even the Macedon- fon situation failing to create any degree ! of alarm. Americans were neglected ' and | featureless, owing to the probability of old shipments, though there are some ndications of 'a returning ' demand for some industrial shares and Wabash had a flurry. In the miscellaneous section wes noticeable that cable shares, whica had previously fallen off to a slight cxtent, showed increasing strength. BERLIN, Feb. 15.—The settlement of the Venezuelan dispute gxerclsed- absolutely no influence on the bourse yesterday. The chief movement of the week wus the great strength in electricals as a consequence of the Siemens-Schuckert deal. Industrials generally were firm, especiaily machinery and chemlicals. _Iron shares showed a moderate galn. Reports from the produc- ing centers continue to be more favorable and the prices are rising. The Ameriean demand is*rising and the furnaces in the Siemen aistrict took an order for 10,000 tons of Splegeleisen for the United States. Coal shares were weak upon the announcement that coal s accumulating at the mines Domestic and foreign government bonds were firm, without much trading being done. Parls bought Spaniards activel Much Interest developed for Russian ral while Canadian Pacifics were more active on the annual report. Hemburg-American and North German Lioyd shares were ulet, but closed slightly higher. The re- uction in the Reichsbank rate caused for- elgn exchanges to again rise. The rate for several companies has now about re the gold point and exports are regarded probable. Dry Goods Market.

Totals » CATTLE—From the tabte of receipts given gbove it will be seen that the supply of cattle this week has been very liberal, | as there ls a gain both over the previous | week and also over the corresponding week of last year. Otler markets have also | had liberal runs, so that the tendency of prices has been downward. In fact,” the market this week hag been the most un- satistactory to the selling interests of any that has been experienced in a long time for the reason that prices on fat cattle reached the lowest level for several years past, The market on cornfed steers broke in bad shape the first half of the week, but Tuesday and Wednesday proved to be the low days. After that receipts were more moderate and prices again moved upward. On Thursday and Friday the advance amounted to fully 15, but as compared with the close of last week the market is still a shade to 10c lower. The quality of ‘the cattle offered this week has been only fair, so that just whgt a prime bunch would bring is largely gdess work. It is thought, though, that a finished bunch would reach $.00 without any trouble, but the bulk of the cattle coming forward are seiling from .75 to $4.40. It takes a good bunch to bring better than $4.40, while pretty decent cattle are .elllnf below $4.00. | The caw market also broke In bad shape iy part of the week, but on Thur day and Friday prices improved consi erably, so that the bulk of.the loss has Deen regained. As compared with the close of last week, the market may be quoted nearly steady to 10c lower, The bulk of the medium grades sell from $2.75 to 3.2, while the cholcer grades sell largely trom $.25 to $4.00. Canners are quoted irom $2.00 o $2.75. Bulls are selling about where they were a week ago, with the demand very limited, especially for the better gradés. ‘Good f: bulls are selling lnr‘eldv from $3.00 to gm‘ and the commoner grades from $2.25 to $3.00. Good veal calves have heid apout stead; for the week, as high as $8.%5 being paid, but the commoner ’rn:h-s are a little lower. | T'he stocker and feeder markei bas been hurt to some extent by the sudden drop in the price of fat cattle. Strictly prime stock- | | ers and feeders that have not been fed corn and are dehorned are very little lower for the weeks but the common kinds and Warmed up caitle that have been selling for feeders are 1@2c lower and slow sale 4t the decline. The bulk of the cattle are Selling ‘from $.% to $.75, with choice bunches going #s high as 3.2, while the inferior grades sell from 3275 to §3.3. HOGS—There was apout an a age Sat- urday's run of hogs here tos n‘ and as the Jocal demand was quite liberal the market Tuldd fairly active and generally 5o higher than yesterday. As offerings ‘were mod- | erate, it took only a comparatively short time for practically everything in sight to change hands. The bulk of the medium Welght hogs eold from 36.80 to 3.9, with | heavyweights going from 3690 to and as high as $7.00 was pald for a bunch. The light and common stuff sold from $6.80 down. | For the week receipts have been mu('h‘ heavier than last week, but there 1s still a decrease as compared® with the same week of last year. The market has been in yretty good shape and in spite of the more fiberat Feceipts the tendency of prices nus | been upward. The advance today carries the 'market to the highest point reached since last October. The gain for the week | amounts to 15@17%c. SHE. . There were no sheep on the market this morning, although severul | cars were reported. They did not get In | in time for today's market, however. For | the week the supply has again been | Iiberal, as will be seen from the table | glven above. There is a slight decrease as compared with the big run of last week, but there is a big increase over the cor- responding week of last year. The demand, though, has been fully equal to the occasion and a good, active and eteady to strong market has been ex- perienced all the week for desirable grades | of lambs, vearlings and wethers. ~Some | sales, in fact, have looked quite a little higher than the same kinds sold for last | week, as Nebraska fed lambs hav oid | as high at % 'he market on ewes ha " | been a little uneven packers seemed | fnclined to pound prices a little, claiming that the market here was too high ax compared with other ints. For the week | ewes could be guoted steady to a shade | lower. The half fat stuffof all kinds has dragged a little, espectafly on the da that receipts were the lest, and the market on that class of offerings is prob- | ably a shade lower, The supply of feeders has been very | iight and as there is quite a demand the | few bunches that arrived sold at good, strong pri uotation: Cholce western lambs, $6.00¢ 6235 fair to f(nd lambs, $5.65616.00, cholce native and Colorado lnmbs, %4.kfs 2 cholcs yearlings, 3. ; fair to good yearlings, T dr'»g) cholce wethers, NSWB 5‘. uf’flr to 0; good, $.40G4.75; choice ewes, $. to good, 33.25@4.00; feeder lambs, feeder Leeplings. 815040, foedér wethers, $3.7504.00; feeder ewes, $2.50G3.00.
