1 every Indication that In a very few days
one of the richest mining districts In ttie
lllack Hills will liavo been located for a
certainty In Two Bit. The exact extent of
the ere todies In the original Hardln shaft
ore now known and coounh high grade ere
lion been blocked out to run for many years.
The ere Is pyrltlc , which makes a cheap
end easy proposition for smelting. The vein
of ore Is nearly eolld and rctalna a uniform
thickness of twenty-two feet. The entire
ledge , < t Is stated , will average $20 per ton.
About one-half of the ledge will run | S5 per
ton , ulillo about five feet of It will yield
$150. There ore several other shafts down
In the camp to within a few feet of the ere
body and a rich ctrlko Is expected every
foot. Ttie camp la already called the "Lead-
vtllo" of thp Ulack Hills. Years ago ere was
taken from the Noble Grand property , JoinIng -
Ing the Hardln mine , which carried an average -
ago value of $100 per tun. The ere was
filllclous , however , and only a ntnall per cent
of the gold was saved by amalgamation In
the stamp mill. The err > mined by the Men-
nrcli company , by Fritz Webber , from the
Golden Crest ground by Russell & Hlgble ,
was nil high grade and gave rich returns.
In all of the shafts In the Hardlo district
that arc approaching the eco zones , the
rtiak'3 , eandruclc , gauge and other materials
encountered , show metal values an high as
$3 and $0 a ton In gold. 'lala Is unusually
high and carrlcc. out the belief that tile ore
body , when encountered , will be high grade.
In sixty days ore will he struck by a dozen
or more companies. Their shafts are being
put down as fast as double shifts and mod
ern machinery can accomplish It. It Is cur
rently reported that the last workings lu
the Hardln mlno opened up n body of slllc-
loils ore which forms a unique combination
of ores. It Is an uncommon thing to find
elllclous and pyrltle ores so closely united.
Harris Franklin , vlco president of the
Golden Reward compapy , has gone east to
confer with the officers of the company In re-
Kard to the construction of a smeltrr. The
company has contemplated building as soon
as tin Huxton niralnst Golden Reward case
was wttlcd. The plant is to bo 200-ton capa
city and will bo modern In every respect.
The location of the plant Is not fully set-
lied. One place Is about seventy-five miles
from DeadwooJ whore there Is unlimited
room and plenty of ivater and also near
coal and coke. About four months will bo
required to build the plant.
RICH PRODUCER.
The Gilt Edge property , on Strawberry
gulch , la proving to be ono of the. richest
producers In the Black Hills. The shaft
la down 100 feet at present and a twpnty-
foot ledge of ere has been exposed at that
depth , every pound of which will pay a good
profit above working expenses. The ere will
run on an average .of . $100 a ton in gold and
BOIUG Shipments have been made which went
Into four figured. A standard guage car of
/thirty tons Is being shipped from the mlno
each day. The shaft will bo sunk deeper as
soon 03 the now hoisting plant la set up.
Seme of the material thrown over the dump
dm Ing the flrat working of the mine Is being
sorted and shipped and yields fair returns.
The shaft on the Dadger group of mines ,
In Ragged Top , upon which a Chicago syndi
cate has a bond , Is down 335 feet , In pro-
Ihyry. Indications arc favorable to striking
a body of ere soon , the formations being the
same -aa those passed through in the No. 1
Vertical , which yielded such rich returns to
those who worked the ralno last year.
A flno face of ere has been exposed In the
St. Elmo mine , near Hill City , recently
purchased by Captain W. W. Marsh and
a'-'soclates of Omaha. The ten-atamp mill
which formerly stood In Tepee gulch , near
Keystone , Is now In operation about a half
mile from tSo mine. A tramway Is soon
to be constructed from the mine to the
mill to convoy the ere. This Is ono of the
oldest mines In the Hll's , but has not been
extensively developed because the owners
wore unable financially.
A change of ere has been encountered In
the shaft ofthe Lizzie group , near Ouster ,
owned by the Willow Creek company of
liomars , la. Teats show the ore a third
richer than surface findings and a largo
body of It has been blocked out.
A force * of men lies been put to work
sinking a new prospect shaft on the Cleo
patra mine on Squaw creek , under the man
agement of R. I ) . Hughes. The shaft Is
being sunk about 150 feet down the till ]
from the old -workings , where a good body
of ere has been opened. It Is expected that
quartzlto will bo reached t 150 feet.
The Spearflsh canyon , from the mouth of
Squaw creek to a point three miles above
Spenrflah fals ! , la attracting considerable at
tention from would-be Investors , The quart
zlto ku thla locality dips to the southwest
nr.l can bo reached , It Is estimated , from
the crook bed by a distance of seventy-five
or 150 feet. The district Is covered by a
capping of limestone which could bo tun
neled under from , the creek level. The
theory la that this district will become as
rich In paying mines aa Ruby Basin or Bald
mountain. There are several parties plan
ning to make Investigations of the district
this spring.
POTSDAM GROUP.
The Potsdam group of mlnca comprise
about 00 acres of land about a mtlo west
of Ragged Top and Is owned by R. N
AprJcii , William Lardner and others. A
turciel has been run In a northeasterly di
rection 235 feet and from the dip of the
formation It U believed an additional 251
icct will Intersect the ere bodies. A force
of men will bo put at work this week In an
extension of tue tunnel. The success o
.this work will greatly dotenu'jao the- future
of the Ragged Top district.
Sampled of ere have been taken fron
the Calamity group on Spearflsh creek , ownci
by Thomas Goodman of Portland , whlcl
assay $10 free milling and It Is cxpectcc
when the shaft Is down deeper that a hlg1
grade of slllcloua ere will bo encountered
The shaft Is down eighty feet at present.
In the Yellow Creek district the No. 2 mln
la making a phenomenal record. The produc
tlons of gold last year In round numbers wa
$182,000 , with only a small force of men
employed , and this year the productions wll
l > e considerably greater. The bodies of or
are not only large , but are exceptionally
rich aod are very uniform. The property 1
owned by T. J. Qrlcr , general manager of th
Homestako , R. 11 , 'Drlscall. E. May , ( Faucet
< & Dclehaut of Lead , < D. A. Mcl'herson am
"William McLaughllu of Deadwood , Job
tniatchford of Terry , and John Gray o
Terravllle.
The Squaw Creek Mining company own
sixteen full claims , about 170 acres , al
patented , on Squaw creek near the Rua mlno
A force of miners Is sinking a shaft whit
1s down forty-five feet. At the commence
incnt of the work there were no Indication
of mineral tearing rock. At a depth o
twenty-nine feet a two-Inch vertical wa
encountered , which gave returns of $3.50 t
the ton In gold. At thirty-four feet thre
separate verticals were encountered tea
assayed $7 to $9.50. The Indications ar
good that the property will be a hear
producer.
There Is a movement on foot , promote
by eastern capitalists , to open up the Zoellnc
( Brothers and Barker ground In Grizzly gulch
11 la a known ( act that the illomcitake or
bodies extend Into the Grizzly gulch dlstrlc
but at a considerably greater depth from th
Hurfaco than at the Homeetake workings
There ls also a certainty of a permaoen
body of alllclous ore In connection with tb
frov-mllllnR ore * . Considerable capital woul
bo required to reach either the slllclous o
< re8-nallllng orei , but when once the dUtrlc
Is opened there Is llttlo question of the
future success of the undertaking ,

shortage. This called up the Investigation
and the report shows a. shortage of $3,897
yet remaining after tbo "bank " shortages are
accounted for. The work of the succeeding
treasurer la reported to be all right.

Outlined In a General Way.
SALT LAKE CITY. Utah , April 7. ( Spe
cial. ) As yet the program for the mining
congrefs which Is to bo held hero In July
U mapped out only In a general way , but
Ithas / reached the stage where some Idea
may bo gathered of Its Interest and the
field It will cover. A number of the subjects
to bo presented for consideration will bo
reported on by committees appointed at the
convention In Denver last year. The most
Important of these Is the effort to have con
gress establish a national department of
mines and mining , with representation In
ther president's cabinet. Hon. Late Pence
of Colorado Is chairman of the committee
having the resolution In charge , and ho will
tell the congress what progress has been
made In the direction of success.
, A resolution favoring the reeodlflcatlon ol
the mineral laws of the United States will
also come up for discussion < and action. In
cidental to this resolution will be the move
ment In the direction of a change In the
laws affecting extra-lateral rights , the de
sirability of uniform state Jnd district winIng -
Ing laws , the law requiring -certain assessment -
, ment work and denning the character ol
work and .proof of its accomplishment. All
of tbese subjects are expected to be presentee
by men familiar with them , and the differ
ences of opinion which the debate will natur
ally develop promise to add much to the
Interest of the sessions.
Utah mining men have already drawn up-
for presentation to the convention a resolu
tion urging congress to make a consecutive
surrey of the entire Oqulrrh range , connect
ing and establishing the geological and topographical
graphical relations between the camps of
BUigham , Ophlr , Mercur and Tlntlc. Lcgta
latlon affecting mining labor will also be a
subject of great local Interest , especially In
view of the recent decision of the supreme
court of the United States , In which Is up
held the Utah eight-hour law.
California , Colorado , New Mexico < ind Art
zona are prepared to take up again a reeo
lutlon they offered at Denver urging con
gress to open the so-called Spanish fane
grants In these states and territories. Under
present conditions these grants cannot bo
prospected and great areas of rich mlnera
land are excluded from development , wltnou
benefit to the owners or to tbo states and
territories In which they are located.
These matteri wlll be considered In the
buslners sc $ lo ; . with a. host of collatero
subjects , which will be covered by socialists
In each line of discussion.

FORT WORTH , Tex. , April 7. ( Special. )
Dr. Charles H. Blemer , an Inspector of the
Bureau of Animal Industry , who has been sta
tioned at El Pane for several months past
making a careful study of the conditions
of the cattle Imported Into the United States
from Mexico , passed through hero this week
on his way to Kansas City. The dootor saya
large Importations of these cattle may bo
looked for within luo next two mcntha. Ha
confidently expects that not less than 50,000
head will find their way Into this country.
The activity In cattle tradlag at El Ptoo
waa never so great as now , and buyers seem
anxious to get cattle and are willing to pay
almost any price- , the recent advance In
Texas stock having given that distant mar
ket an Impetus. The ranges In the vicinity of
El Paso arc In excellent condition.
The Importations of sheep from Mexico
this season will bo large , exceeding by
many thousands these of former years. One
firm alone , Mantloy & Stockwell , has con
tracted fee 27,765 head of the Mexican prod
uct , of which over 10,000 have already
creased the border Into the United States.
These sheep will be passed over the/ trail to
Las Anlmao coivnty , Colorado.
Importations of Mexican cattle fcr the
month of March. 1897 , were 10,830 head. The
Importations this year will bo largely In ex
cess of that number for the same period.

FORT WORTH. Tex. , April 7. ( Special. )
L. S. Ncwsom. of New Mexico and H. L.
Buell of Wllcox , Ariz. , are hero on theli'
way to Galveston. Both gentlemen are
I/irgely / engaged In preparing cattle for
market and have shipped largo numbers to
the Atlantic cities for the last ten or moro
years , always'by rail. They will thoroughly
ln\estlgate the features of the sea transit for
fat cattle north to the great seaboard mar
kets. They claim that Savannah , Charles
ton and other Intervening ports between the
latter place and New York can bo supplied
with Texas 'beef ' cattle at least 10 per cent
cheaper going by the way of Galveston ul
thence by water than It has hitherto cost
them by railway transportation. They ulK >
claim the percentage of los In weight Is
much less. Very few cattle suffer severely
from the coastwise voyage , as the temper
ature of the gulf stream Is always moder
ate. If these gentlemen find the steamers
plying between Galveston and Atlantic
ports properly equipped for the transporth-
tlon of cattle , they.will at once bes'ti ' the
building up of a trade for thec seaboard
markets In their section of Arizona and
Now Mexico and will ship via Galveston.

Those who hold appointive offices under
the city government are naturally anxious to
see what the mayor will do when'the new
m council Is organized. It Is a foregone con
clusion that the police force will be reor
ganize ! , although the mayor declines to state
what officers will be rcomved. Ono or two
changes will be made In the flro department ,
but It Is expected that Chief Smith will con
tinue to hold lila position. R. B. Mont
gomery expects to continue as city attorney
and Herman Heal will meet likely bo reappointed !
pointed city engineer. Mr. Deal has served 1
through two administrations and Is com

Several farmers living In the adjoining
county are causing the milk Inspector con
siderable trouble en account of their refusal
to pay the license exacte.by the city from
all dispensers ot the lacteal fluid. Thcio
venders have been notified by the Inspector
to procure licenses or else cease soiling here ,
but they have refused to do cither. It Is
claimed that these dealers arc becoming qiAto
defiant and assert that the city has no rlK'ht
to restrain or Interfere with the sol Hag ot
milk. Inspector Carroll will bring suit
against the milkmen In case they donot
como up nnd settle , and the ordinance w.lll
then be tested In the courts. It Is thought In
some circles that the milk dealers' union Is
behind the movement.

THE NEW DISCOVERY OF THE CENTURY.
The Eminent Physician and Specialist Who Has Discovered
How To Tell If We Have Kidney ,
Bladder or Uric Acid Trouble ,
HOW TO FIND RELIEF AND CURE QUICKLY.
You May Have a Saiwple Bottle Sent Free by Mail.
There conies a tlmo to both men and
vomcn when sickness and poor health bring
anxiety and troubles hard to bear ; disap
pointment seems to follow every effort In
our behalf ; we get discouraged and sikop-
Ical. In most cases serious mistakes are
nado In our treatment , and In not knowing
vhat the disease Is or what makes us sick.
If o peculiar pjln attacks you , try to
ocate Its origin and discover which organ
of the body Is sick and in need of attention ,
If the kidneys are at fault and In al-
nest every case In the fulling of our
lealth they are look well to their rcator-
atlcii to health and strength.
They arc tha great filters of our body ,
and consequently , the purity of the blood
s entirely dependent ou their cleanslv : ;
lowers.
If the kidneys are not In a perfectly ,
clean and healthy condition , thn bloj.l
becomes Impregnated with Impurities and
a decay of the kidneys coon takes plrtcc.
[ f your deslro to relieve , youi.ielf of wciter
ncreascM , and you find It necessary to ads < j
many times during sleeping hours , your
kidneys are sick. As they reach a more
unhealthy stage , scalding and Irritation
takes place as the water flows , and pnln
or dull ache-In the back makes you miser
able. If the water , when ullowed to re
main undisturbed for twenty-four hours ,
forms a settling or sediment , you are In'
the grasp of moat serious kidney or bladder
disorder.
If neglected now the disease advances
until the face looks palo or sallow , puffy
or dark circles under ths ryes , the fern
swell , and sometimes the heart acts Unlly.
There Is no moro serious ii'cnncc to
health n-nd strength than any derangpmpit
of the kldneji-i.
