Ton DEADWOOD, 8. D., March 22.—(S8pecial.) ~The Penobscot Mining company has made another good strike in its property at Mait- land. The new strike was made In a drift driven from the bottom of the Realization shaft, at a distance of 350 feet to the west. The ore §s too high grade to treat by tha cyanide process, o arrangements have been made with castern smelters to handle the ore. As soon as the roads are in con- dition the company will begin the shipment of from tweaty-five to thirty tons daily. It is sald that the Northwestern Rallroad company will begin work on a branch road from Deadwood gulch to Maitland in a few weeks, and should this report be true the ore shipments of the Penobscot will be greatly Increased. The ore in the new strike will run all the way from $50 to $80 & ton, and the shoot is a wide one. The Eclipse Mining company, the ground of which s located in Miller gulch, a short distance east from Maitland, will resume operations this week. Men will be put to work sinking the shaft (o the lower con- tact. The shaft is now down 195 feet, and ‘as sunk that distance with a whim, but while in the east the superintendent made arrangements for the Installation of a steam holat stion shortly, together with an air com- pressor plant. The company owns acreage of land on Miller gulch, and has a splendid showing of surface ores. All of its ground Ims been patented, and the company holds options on several valuabie groups of claims adjoining its present holdings. The Arcade Mining company, the ground of which adjcins the Eclipse on the north, has been doing a great deal of work dur- ing the past winter, and like the Eclipse, has been sinking to quartzite. When that formation is reached extensive lateral workings will be started. Strikes Phonolitic Veln. The Chicago syndicate which is workiag the Card & Rosenkranz ground on False- bottom, has struck the main phonolite vein at a depth of 100 feet. The ore at this depth, from a check assay, shows. values of $28 a ton. The ore is a phonolitic schist stained | with fluorine, carrying considerable talo and showing the values in white iron. At the present depth of the shaft there is so much water coming into the workings that it will be Impossible to continue sinking without putting In expensive pumping ma- chinery, and this the company does not wish to do until it is thoroughly convinced of the value of the ore and ita extent. The ehaft of the Pluma Mining-company 1s now down 500 feet und work of sinking has been discontinued. This was the orig- inal depth to which it was Intended that the working shaft should be sunk, Drift- ing has begun from the 500-foot level, and a station established there. The main ledge was broken into at a distance of four feet from the shaft et this point and drift- ing will be continued until the width of .the vein has been ascertained. Drifting con- tinues on the 300-foot level and a large re- serve of low grade ore has been created. This drift‘ 18 being driven in the direction of the Hawkeye shaft, With which It ‘will eventually, connect. The Pluma and Hawk- eye shafts are 500 feet apart and both ave on the Pluma ground. Wark of Improfié- ment in_the.qompany's muglf‘u Pluma has been suspended and the -superintendent summoted; &st by the board-of directors to investjgate a new and novel thethod for reductioniof gold ores and the extraction of their values. The process is a recent invention and is said to eliminate the ne- cessity of machinery for the crushing of the ore, this work, so it is claimed, being accomplished by the aid of a powertul cur- rent of eleotricity. The Inventor claims that his process will pulverize ore to a fineness of 34-mesh, after which it is passed over mercury coated plates much the same as in a stamp mill. The assertions of the | tnventor are recelved with much skepti. clsm by mining men here and Superintend- ent Filion of the Pluma gone east to satisfy himself as to its merits, To Meet Again in April, The meeting of the stockholders of the Horseshoe Mining company at Beulah, Wyo., last Monday was without results, so far as perfecting a plan of reorganization was concerned, and another meeting will be held at the same place next month, when, it is believed, that the present management wiil have some suggestions to offer the share- holders which will be acceptable to them Suit against the company has been brought in the Unifed States court and in the cir- cuit court for the Eighth judicial circuit of South Dakota by Maurice 8.

D., March 22.—(Special.) —The Cuyahoga will soon inaugurate ex- tensive developments upon its property near this camp. For a number of years work has been continued on the ground by a small force of men, but recent develop- ments on the ore body have led the man- agement to continue these developments on a larger scale, so the work will be started soon as possible. The present shaft will be sunk to a depth of 500 feet and at varfous levels stations will be cut and drifts run on the vein. There is a large ore body exposed in the workings and at least 50 per cent of it will free mill, while the other values may be saved either by concentration or by cyaniding. The management s now experimenting with a view to determine the best method of reduction to employ in the treatment of tho ore. The company is composed of Chi- cago and eastern men, and should the ex- periments on the ore now being conducted give the management a line on the kind of | plant required for the treatment of the ore one will be erected this year. New Machinery on Wheeler HilL CUSTER CITY, 8. D, March 22.--(Spe- clal)—The Castle Creek Mining company is busy installing the new machinery on the Wheeler Hill. A month or so ago the company lost its alr compressor plant, its engine and boilers and machine and black- smith shops by fire, and since that time has not been doing much work on the ground. The company has one of the best free milling propositions in the southern hills, and has expended many thousands of dollars in development. The long work- ing tunnel which cuts the formation hi penetrated three separate and distinct veins, one of them carrying free gold and very high values, and it is expected that the tunnel is now but a few feet distant from the main ledge, .ich In the early uthern hills made the Wheeler hill famous as a pro- ducer of rich ore. The tunnel will tap the vein at a depth of at least 600 feet. It is reported that at a depth of 185 feet another rich ore shoot has been struck in the Clara Belle mine. The new shoot is id to be extensive and some of the ore taken from it s literally alive with free gold. Virtue & Bowles, while doing develop- ment work on their ground east of Custer City last week, uncovered a small vertical of ore which carries very high values. This is belleved to be the vein from which Al Gay several years ago took some very rich specimens, breaking them from the surface outecrop. Gay left the spot, but failed to take proper bearings, and when some years later he with others attempted to find it they could not do so. The find was known to be in the vicinity of Charles Harbach's ranch, and, although Gay, with several others, put in one whole summer hunting for it, they werc never able to find :t again. The specimens brought in by Virtue & Bowles are very rich in free gold, and they claim that the vertical has widened out considerable with the little work which they have put in on it. F. H. Long & Co. have bought the old Bullion mine at Keystone, and will 'shin ore from it to thelr electro-cyanide plant at Mystic. The ore from the Bullion is sald to be peculiarly adapted to treatment | by the process adopted in the Mystic plant. The Bullion is a well-developed mine and contains a large body of ore carrying good commercial values INSURED MAN AGES RAPIDLY Now Elghty-Two, Was but Thirty- Three Years Ago. PITTSBURG, Pa., March 22—New York detectives who came here to -locate several persons connected with the $1,000,000 in- surance {rauds have completed their work Seve: .With the, aid of the.local detective bureau they found ome of the indicted men In Casimiro Ciccone, an Italian, 82 years old, for whom they bhad a bench warrant. Clecone's life was insured for $10,000 three years ago and a year later a body alleged to be him was buried in Calvary cemetery, New York. Ciccone had been living at 2508 First avenue and since his supposed death. has been kept In hiding in several different places. He has been In this city about six months. The insurance on his life was pald. When insured Ciccone was repre- sented as being 37 years old. The detectives say he has now signed a statement, confessing that he was the sub- Ject of the insurance and declaring that he received a money consideration for his part in the swindle. The prisoner is too feeble to remove to New York and the detectives accordingly carried back with them a doctor's certifi- cate saying the old man could hardly live six months longer. —— DRIFTS ASHORE IN MIST Schooner Wrecked on Cape Lookout Owing (o Impenetrable Foe. PHILADELPHIA, March 22.—On board the schooner Edward T. Stotesbury, from Brunswick, Ga., which arrived today, were Captain Fales and his crew of nine men of the schooner C. 8. Glidden, which was wrecked on the outer shoal of Cape Look- out on March 16. Glidden was bound from Baltimore to Galveston with a cargo of coal. The schooner had fair weather until near- | ing Cape Lookout, when a thick haze set in. For more than a day it drifted about and finally struek the shoal late on the afternoon of March 16. From then until 10 o'clock that night the crew remained on board with the seas breaking over the decks. Fearing to stay aboard any longer on account of the danger of being washed overboard, the crew launched the lifeboat and abandoned the vessel, taking with them a signai torch. At daybreak Stotesbury was sighted through & rift in the mist. Glidden's boat being small, could not be seen by those on Stotesbury and the signal torch was lighted. The crew of Stotesbury saw the gnal and immediately went to the rescue of the men 8.

NEW YORK, March 22.—(8pecial.)—Henry Clews, in his weekly market letter, sa The stock market has becn unsettled by a serles of conflicting influences. W hile an easler monetaty situation contributed towards improvement, the Southern-(nion Paclfic controversy produced a fesling of decided uneasiness that quite offset all other favorable developments. As a result there was little If any increase in public buying of stocks, and the Investment de- till_held In check by the comparatively high rates of money and the relatively smali returns which good sccurities bring at present high level prices. The knowlcdage also that heavy new se- curity issues are pending for the impera- | tive purpose of enlarging terminal facllities of the great trunk lins, as well as increas- ing their general cquipment, acted as a damper upon the general mafket. Already there Is a surplus of securi‘les hanging over the market, and the certain prospect of & further big increase Is anything but a_bull argument. Still another movement caciting distrust is the speculation in cop- per and cotton, both of which are exceed- ingly high. A ‘great deal of uncertainty fs also felt over the Southern-Union Pacific contest, which, as it involves a struggle for control, unpleasantly recalls the con- sequences of a similar contest in Northern Pacitic. While no such consequences as fol- lowed that memorable occasion seem prob- able, still the possibilities of disturbance discourage stock market activity, and the outcome of the suits involving the rights of one corporation holding stock in another will be watched with particular concern. Another suit of great importan active considerntion fs that Minnesota against the Northern Eecuritics company, and, since a whole serfes of im- portant” negotiations hang upon this one suit, it is easy to understand the signficance attached to its progress. WIith so man serious contingencics to be faced, the mar- ket really showed surprising strength and resistance. Considerable of the buying, however, was on short account, and while there wis a somewhat better uiidertone re- sulting from recent liquidaton, the uncer- tainties above referred to effectually chilled all serious operations for the ri de Henlthy. Forelgn T Our forelgn trade just mow is In very healthy dition, last month being the heaviest February on record in both Im- poris exports. During the month there was_an_increase of $14,000.000 in imports, chiefly due to our large takings of raw and semi-manufactured materfals which our own mills and mines are unable to meet, These large imports are a distinct result of high prices and trade activity on this side of the Atlantic, and they promise to con- tinue until valies recede and our own ca- nacity becomes able to satlsfy our own needs. Our exports during the same month were §15,000,000 ahead of the same time last year, the increase here being chiefly due o heavy shipments of cotton and ' corn. This result Is exceedingly satisfactory, in- asmuch as these articles furnish a good supply of exchange when the latter is most wanted, thus materially strengthening our financial status abroad. The local money market has shown slight improvement. This was due partly to di- minished drains by the treasury, partly to the currency movement being less unfavor- able, but chiefly to a transfer of our de- mands upon forelgn markets. As a result the latter are slightly firmer, while rates here are somewhat casier. There is less apprehensfon_abroad now concerning the shbation in New York. the lauidation of the last few months having done much to restore confidence in our finances, and, as funds are plentifal in Berlin, Paris ‘and London, there s every probabllity that we will be ‘able to command all the accommo- dation that may be required for perfectly legitimate operations. Any outbreak of speculation on an extensive or reckless seale would, however, materially weaken our credit in Europe.’ At present foreign bankers are probably-obtaining better rates on Ameriean loans,sand: this would appear to explain the deL.y i placing the Trans- vaal and_other snment loans, which are probably awaitiig easier conditions. 1 Situation Sat Gene: factory. Outside of the stook market the situation continues generally satisfactory, the only exception being the prospect of further labor troubles which are already iIncrea: ing the costs of production to a point that is checking new enterprises. Rallroad earn- ings continue large and the iron trade boom shows no signs of cessation. The phenom nal demand for iron is one of the wonde: of the age, and I8 to be attributed to its introduction into many new flelds of use- rulness, as well as the enormous consum tion for structural purposes in buildings, ailroads etc. The demand on the latter account |s sure to continue for some time to come, and both Germany and England are being urgently called upon to satify our teguirements, notwithstanding the tariff. 'he immediate future of the market is, as already stated, exceedingly uncertain. ould favor some im: Fovement as soon the stringency inc Rental to April 1 is passed, but the serious contingencies referred to above, especial! (lie danger of awkward complications ari: ing from the Southern-Union Paclfic quar- rel, emphasize the necessity for caution in speculative operations. Although, in_some respects, the market 18 in much better ape than for several months, we should vise taking profits on all sharp rallies, at least until the differences between Messrs. Keene and Harriman are adjusted. The interests represented by these gentle- men may, however, settle the dispute when least expected; hence the high degree of uncertainty. Natural conditions Forelgn Financial. . LONDON, March 22.—The dealings in ericans and Canadian Pacifics were the Bole redeeming feature in last week's stock market. There were flurries here and there during the week, the news of the Uruguay- ian revolution, for instance, causing tem- porary excitement, but otherwise the whole lists have been lifeless and there is little hute of improvement before Kaster. The public is disinclified to speculate or invest Dbefore the budget statement is issued, while money Venezuela becomes clear. Pacific rallroad struggle interest on this side and has created a cer- tain degree of nervousness. Consols remain at low water mark. Home rafls are flabby and even Colonial Secretary Chamberlain's speeches have failed to have any favorable effect on the South African marke BERLIN, March #2.—There were indica- tlons of regained confidence in the New York situation among the operators on the bourse last week. The reports received here that the Harriman and Keene interests had buried the hatelfet had a marked effect in allaying the uneasiness regarding the flurry on Wall street. TI American demand for money 18 also diminishing and little was heard last week about borrowings for New York. The main features of the Berlin stock market were the strength of in- dustrials and the weakness of domestic and foreign loans. Home of the foreign rentes of high denominations remained in good demand. Among_industrials, iron shares were particularly firm, rising on an average of 3@4 points. The reports regarding the iron trade continue favorable and further prices are announced. The rolling mills In the Rhine-West Phallan district report a heavy Increase in the home demand and they have ordered cur- tallment of the sales of blooms, billets, etc abroad. The Koelnische Zelfung reports that the uncovered home demand for half- rolled goods for the June quarter amounts o from 0,000 to 12000 tons. Coal shares made a further advance, but barely a moderate one in view of the indications that the production was exceeding the con- sumption.

None of the outlets abroad appear disposed to purchase on the normal scale under the present coi ditlons. The offers of Ipdia and Chin were far below acceptance, while the bus! ness for the eastern markets was unsatis- factory. There were some sales of brocades for the United States and of miscellaneous y goods for the home trade. Transactions in yarns were slow and the turnover far below the average. ¥ilour and Nean. .

M8 3418 1,694 CAITLE—There were a few bunches of cattle in the yards this morning, but scarcely enough with which to make a test of the market. For the week receipts have been about the same as last week, but as compared with the corresponding week of last year there is an increase of about 4,000 head. A good portion of the offerings all the week have consisted of beef steers, but the demand has been fully equal to the occa- sion and the market has ruled active and steady to strong on most days. AS com- pared with the close of last week prices show an advance amounting to just about 10@15c. The greatest improvement has been on handy weight cattle of fair to good quality, The choice heavy cattle do not seem to be much higher than they were a week ago, but still zher were the best cattle that have been here in a long tim The bulk of the steers now coming forward are selling from $4.25 to $4.60, with the cholcer grades selling l¥sely from $4.50 to $5.00. The cow market has also been in good shape during the week, ave improved fully as much’ as on steers. As compared with the close of last week prices on desirable grades may be quoted 15@2c higher.

HOGS—There was a very light run of hogs here today even for a Saturday and the market opened a nickel higher. Pack- ers, though, were very slow to pay the ad- | varice and ‘as a_result the market closed slow and weak, the last sales being scarcely more than steady with yesterday. Good heavy hogs sold mostly from $7.35 to $7.40 and as high as $7.45 was paid. The medium welghts went from $7.30 to $1.35 and the ight stuff from $7.30 down. The light re- celpts soon brought the market to a close, even though trading was slow. For. the week the receipts have been very light, as there is a big decrease, both as compared with last week and with the cor- responding week of last year. The demand, on the other hand, has been brisk, so that the tendency of prices has been upward As compared with the close of last week there is a net gain of about 5@loc, which carries the market to the high point of the year.
