LE/VO. / S. D. , Aug. 6. ( Special. ) the bnutlful little city , on the Burlington railroad exten- ' ( > lon which ranks third In point of > jirnn n'-ncc and population of the northern Hil ) own\ has uplendld prospects of be- : crtnl g a mining town of almost equal lin- ' with l efld. If the plans now under ' wuv by promesfilve and suuceistul capitalist - j ist materialize such will be the core. A j number of the leading eltlr.enn of lhal place ' arc planning for the establishment of a plant ' lor the extraction of gold from the low grc-Je slllceoun ore * which abound In thai region The men who are at the he-ad of this iim-rprlM are L. W. Valentine. Henry Keens and J. F. Summers , all of whom nre omials In the Bank of Spearfish ; John Wolr.rt.uth. n promlnenl merchant : Day & Cre veil and Drlnkill Brolhers , who are wtalihy catllemen. In 18H3 Ihe Welcome Min ns and Milling company creeled a large chlailuaMun mill , which Is nu Immense ImilCi .g complele In e-very detail , and ul- ; most perfect In Ito conwtnictlon. The strtici turr va. : creeled at tremendous ce * > t , as the , who ! " s de hill In which It Ptands had to litexcavated. . The company thai built . this mill fe uiHi Itself unable to operate It [ and It line Klnce been abandoned. Now , however , the Spearfish capitalists propose to I ut 117It for u reduction works. They contemplate - | , template treating ore by the electroj j I cyanide prices , which has proven to be . the morvt Kueecmful way of reducing low i 1 Ernde Klliceotifi ore. The country for miles i In e-ery direction from Snearfish contains 1 vast identities of Hplendld ore , which Is j , low r-rpde nml runs on an average at from j i $5 to $ H > per ton. This region is too far j from any reduction wrrkn for the ore to be ' chirped at a profit , and consequently It bus not been taken from theground. . With the e Ul'-hment ' of this mill In Ihe Immediale vlfl i-'v of ihls jiroperty Ihe ore could all be treated at a profit , both lor Ihe mill and the mi'-er. 11 is claimed that ore can be trca'ed by the electro-cyanide pro cess at no greater cost than $2 50 cr ? 3 per ton and where the ore averages In the vicinity of $10 per tan it is reasonable lo bellejx lhal it can be mined and milled to advantage. The men who arc at the head of this project arc nearly I all intercKted in mining property themselves and . . . . > ei-tabFhuicnt ! of Ibis mill would be doub'v profitable to them. Patronage for the mill would also IIP largely drawn from the m nine regions on Squaw creek , Annie creek Iron cieek. Carbonate and Bear Gulch , besides the large territory on Spearfish creek. The magnificent water power which is ob- t&liiable ln ? poarflsh ce : k makes Ihe ques tion of p : wtr an cusy one lo solve. The Sosarfish is one of Ihe most beautiful streams Ic Hit Hills , end In order not to defile He waters the refuse water from the mill , when It is In operation , will be held in a series of settling flams until it can be let oat. when thr creek is swollen and murky as a result of storms , thus keeping the water in the cte-ek clear except when It would be otherwise from natural causes. UTILIZING THE WATER POWER. George E. Bretlelle of Ibis city , manager of the Rocheater-Grecnbaek Mining company , whose large property interests adjoin the Homestake on Ihe east , has begun ihe erec tion of a mammoth 1.200 horse power electric plant on Spearlirh creek , a .mile below Elmo- station , on the B. & M. The erection of this plant will be followed by ihe estab lishment of various manufacturing und milling Industries on the Spearfish , power for which will be furnished by this electric plant. There Is a mine In the old Carbonate camp which Is bhowlng up remarkably well. It is the Spanish R mine , and much high grade ore Is being taken from It. The ore averages from $ fiO to $70 per ton. This mine was first developed by Ridpath . Son and Frank S. Bryant , who were searching for sliver and In their efforts overlooked the splendid gold-bearing rock. The present lt > EHrun ! cross-cuts from this lunnel and have dlHcovcred Ihe ere in fissure veins. A Kreal quantity of ore is already In sight and its es'i-ut has not nearly been detertniue-d. Louis Gro.sb'ck has resigned his position as foreman of the Penobsot mine in Black- tall gulch , and has gone to Jim creek , west of Rapid Clly twelve miles , where he has some splendid coi per ore. Mr. Grosbeck bus un rxcdlent deposit of this ore. It Is a liver-colored rock und exists In vertical formations. This ore assays from 10 tft. 45 per cenl In copper , besides carrying from Tour ID elghl ounces of silver and $4 lo $5 per ion In gold. The supply seems , to be Inexhaustible and Is looked upon as a rplcndid proposition , and Mr. Grosbeck U considered a very fortunnle man. He has spent many years in Ihe celebraled Anaconda copper mines of Monlana , and his experience In working this kind of ore will bo most useful to him In developing bif Jim creek property. The ore from the rurface ol Mr Grosbeck's mine contains an average higher assay of copper than lhal taken from the Anaconda mine's. ANOTHER CYANIDE PLANT. William Rldell has established a cyanide plant at Crook City. In order to Fuccfssfully operate this plant ho has construcled foui large storge tanks , tuch having u capacity of thirty tons. This plant is conducted for thp purpose of le-sllnc Ihe olllngs which have accumulated at Crook City. A tank IB loaded every day by the application of t cyanide colutlon. At the emd of four days zinc shavings are utilized to precipitate the gold In the solution , the zinc Is then dls < solved and Ihe gold Is ready lo be rffined. Mr , RIde-11 Is associated In this cyanide plant with Fred Mosher , a young assayer from Dcadwood. One of the richest mining properties In the Black hills IE Ihe Duruugo mine , sltuale-d almost within Ihe city limits of Lead , and owirtl by Sullivan. Foley & Cuslck. This pro.r rty U part of Ihe group of claim * that Is under bond to John Pelrce , but during the pendancy of tills deal the owners have worked the Imrango continually. All of the ore Is of high grade and much of the rock assays as high as $3,000 In gold per ton. There are numerous other splendid properties adjoining Ihe Durango , among them the Harrison , the Reddy , the Hidden Fortune No , 2 , and the Swamp Eagle , all of which are producing splendid arc. I' J 'Mlnlter of Chicago , who has bren appointed assayer In charge of the govern ment assay office which will be established in Deadwnoct , has been In the Black hills for the past few days , making arrangement ! ) for the institution of the office and looking OVIT the field , The new office will be equipped with the fluent machinery obtainable , and the de-lay In starting U has been occasioned by reason of some of the machinery , to be used In the office , having lo be especially manufactured. Mr. Mlnlter hopes to have the otllce In operation before the toll in ended. Wi-lilt I > roik tinContrM. . CHEYENNE. Wyo. . Aug. GSpecial.

The effeci of the clln * In fclHvr to 5SH cents per ounce and probable further fall to as low a * 50 wntK. which teems to be conceded by thwe In i the beat porttlon to judge is current topic of conversation among mining men , and. while some are greatly dtacouraged at tbi outlook for mining In Colorado , thr gen eral opinion seem * to be that the de-cllne of silver will have no very nerhius effect unot. the miners , because there U comparatively little silver now mined In the fltatt except in connection with copper , gold and lead. There IK a possibility that name of thr Anpcn and Creede properties will Miut flown , but outside of lhee there will be little change In the situation. Ex-Governor J. D. Grant of the Omaha U Grant smelter said. "I am of the opinion that t silver will continue , to go down until there Is a marked decrease- the production In I some parts of the world , and It remains i to ' be Been which of the Bllver-rtroduclt.g , couutrlcB will give way first. If the present j j | volume of silver production Is maintained i with , ( silver at SuH cents It will go lower until i the supply and demand are nearer to- j I pether. | Of course there will come a time i when ' it will stop falling , but 1 do not think that ' will come until there Is a very marked decrease ] In production , unless In the mean time silver should be remonetlzed. One thing I will result from the decline no more m i w silver enterprises Rill be started , and there ' will be an Incre-aned activity In the search i for gold. I also think It will have some i efTitct upon the development of Mexico and : that no more railroads- will be built to the i mines of that country. It will have no serious effect upon the production of lead , for I : have figured out that with lead at S3.GO and i sllv r at nnVa It Is just about as profitable - able i to the miner as when lead was $3.25 and i . liver n : . . " Ex-Senator N. T. Hill of the Boston & Colorado ( saielte-r thinks that the decline will be seriously felt In many quarter ! . . "The aggregate Irss will be quite large , " Bald he. "Last year the average price paid our com- pauy for sliver was CG.8C cents per ounce. and : the difference between this price und to- day's quotations amounts to about $120,000 In "our production of last year. In lfi)2 ! ) the price was much higher , and the loss com- pared with today's prices , would be nearly $250,000. SHOT HIS WIKE AMI TOOK POISO\ .

This morning he took pplan and died while in charge o' the offi cers. The woman may po-slv'ly recDver. Last April Dailey Rent n letter to Mayor Swift of Chicago , saying he wanted a woman of mature years e a wife. The m > yor gae the missive to the newspapers as a llteiary curiosity. The result was that Dally le- eelved nearly SOO answers. Out of the lot Jailey selected Mrs1. Hcttie Newtona Chicago vldow. Three months ago they were mar ried. Diillcy was TO ysars old , and hiE btlJe Their life was unhappy. 3atley became very jealous when his wife eturned to Chicago for a long visit. They quarreled bitterly and finally separated. Ijiley gave his wife three days to return o her allegiance as his wife. The time was up last midnight , but she refused to resume vlfely relations. He forced his way into icr bedchamber and pressed his arm > muBket agalrfit her heart , at the eame time iring. The woman oeized the muzzle and lushed It aside , but the charge penetratsd ler right side. She staggered from the house n her night gown and fell bleeding on the lonrstcp of Lyrnan Jenlson's house , where ihe was found. Dal'.ey was arrested , and. OF .here ! s no jail in Jcnlson , remained In .he custody of officers until morning , when ic was to be taken to Grand Haven. Before aklng the train he was allowed to enter a saloon and drink several glasses of beer. At the bar he fell backward In spEfims and was dead in a few minutes. He had man aged to ellp strychnine Into the beer. Dailey left a note Indicating that he had contemplated suicide by drownine. A post- si ript says : "Too manv railroad men on my place for my good health. " Dailey had a flue farm and considerable money , and drew $30 a month pension for the IOSE of a hand in the war. He was a widower prior to his rece-nt marriage , and rtad a daughter , a Mrs. Taylor of Grnirville : . Nothing Is known of Mrs. Dailey except that she has a sou in Montreal.

SAN FRANCISCO , Aug. C. Speaking of the Klondyke output.Of gold , the chief clerk of the mint said : "All ihe gold brought lo Ibis city from the Alaskan mines will not exceed $800.000 and oil that has been taken this year and sent' to other mints of the country will not exceed $2,000.000. The gold from thai parl of Ihe couniry Is generally from 700 lo SOO fine and some of It ran to 900 , Ihe nverage being worlh from $15.50 to 517 on ounce. " J. C. Buller pf the Pullman Car company ' is In receipt of'a letter from R. P. Taylor , n financial broker of Seatlle. A few days ago Tavlor received word from some men whom he had t > enl lo the Klondj'ke secllon last spring. In which they informed him that every claim within 150 miles of Daw-ton City has "been taken up and they are reaching all over the country looking for locations. He says that starvation and hardship stare1 many in the face. Captain Nlebaum of the Alaska Comme'-- clal company , wh'p , has made a careful study of the situation , ff'krs ' thrre will be a great deal of suffering 'In the mining regions this Kprii'g. He thinks the people going are far tn exeets of the supplies thai have been forwardi-d. A letter from Hart Rumber. a pronpertoc. dated Dawson City , just re-reived , shows that the gold-seekers need plenty of capital. After reachnlg Dawson Pity and jmylng the heavy duty on hie outfit , besides 30 cents pound for getting Hover Phllkoot iiam. he will have to pay 25 cents a pound to get his stuff from Dawson City to the diggings.

There is some quiet discussion among members of the Board of Education , relative , i to filling the vacancy caused by the reslgua- [ tlon of Pretldcni Edwards , but no far there ' has been no particularly active work on the ' part of either of the factions In thp otrnrd. [ An the resignation leaves a vacancy both in ' \ i the office of president and in the membership ' ' of the board there U an opportunity for u , . double controversy. As the board Is now ' j supposed to be equally divided , the action of ' j the new member will be Important , us It i will in ull probability determine which side i Is to elecl the president and control the j board. ' The fact that only five month. ? remain of ' Mr. Edwards' term and that there are no ' ( niBttcis of especial Importance tn lie set- , , tied during the remainder tif the year may ; | ; lead to an amicable agreement to elect Vice ' , Precldent Pcnfold prtFlfienl as E matlrr of i I courlciiy , but If war is > declared the ISUB I j will beuncertain. . If eHher faction could ] hold Its members In line It could prevent the olher side from filling Ihe vacancy or electing a president.

Pie remained In thai condition all night and required the attendance of a physician. Fisher was arrested only when he cave himwelf up. Instead of securing tnabses lo testify to the gravity of the 3BU11. evidence of which could have been obtained , the police appeared to protect the defendant , Sargeanl Her even going on Ihe eland to testify for him. The result was that while Fisher WUB convicted , he was fined only $1 and cosls. On Wednesday Frank Bcsen , eon of Pelcr Bteen , a bulcbcr in the vicinity , was at tacked by two of the gang.

Passenger men here yesterday stated that they should not be at all sur prised if there were a Hlaeli in rale from this point before the flrst train for the re- unluu pulled out. The Chicago G'eat Western has made o cut of 2.50 from Minneapolis. It Is ex- lu-r.tud to shave rates to the same extent at Kansas City. The road making the c.ut does not operate a line from Omaha , but passenger men date that If rates from both KankSb City and Minneapolis are cut $3.5ti , Omaha will undoubtedly enjoy a similar favor.

To the Editor of The Bee : I notice an article In The Bee with reference to Detective Hcmmlng's "Jobbery" of Harry Mnloy. I um not seeking any news paper notoriety , but will say thnt Hemming IB working for a reputation and would do anything to accomplish hlr purpose. There IB no question but Hurry Waloy was "Jobbed" by Hemming , everybody who has watched the case must know 1 am sorry to say that I am another of Hcmmlng'B victims , and If the great defective's word IB to be believed I will spend the remainder of my days ! u prison. I waa arrested on sus picion. Two of the oldcft detective * . Savage and I > empsey. were detailed to Investigate my CHRP and they reported that there was nothing in the charges. Then Hemming undertook the case and by underhanded means , jobber * and lies , wove a chain of circumstantial evidence against me , enough to force me to stand trial In the district court. Hemming accuses me of many crimes and has had me roasted in the meet artistic manner In a certain paper tne general opin ion being that heJ wrote the article himself. I have been threatened by Hemming and have been told that he would sue that I received a long term In the penitentiary. " When I told him he wap going too far "tlilB great detective said that he hadn't started on me rot. Hemming ban claimed and hns sworn , with out one lo-a of truth , that I obtained letters from the pcstofiice that did not belong to me. By a hitter found In n house that was burglarized Ileinlmng tries to fasten ije ! crime upon me. He alwo claims that I am a confidence man : that I have victimized Omaha merchants , all of which la not true. Not satisfied with casting me into prison Hemming stoop * so low CE to visit me In my cell and tells the Jail officials of my "great criminal career. " The officers , believing these talcs , have removed me from the lower flonr to the cells occupied by the bound over and more dangerous criminals. This is 'Hemmlng's way of persecuting hie victims mid undoubtedly If he could have his way he would take me from the county jail , where one gets decent treatment and a clean bed. and confine me In the police sta tion , where he could laugh nt my Bufferings. To make ray cane look bad before the court and Jury this great detective. Hemming , gave me an alias of OiBrlen , which is another of his "jobbing" schemes. I do not claim to be a paint but I do claim that Detective Hemming , to hold his position and gain a reputation , would d-j almost any thing. Hemming also claims. o I um In formed , that If I get out on bonds he will "Job" me again. M. E.
