The party left Immediately for tho mining property of tho Anita Mining com pany, which Ih located about four miles duo west of Dumont and fifteen miles south of Lead. A shaft Is being sunk to tho lower ijunrtzltc and It Is Btuted that two separate ledges of oro have already been passed through. The company Is capitalized at ro, 000 nhares, with a par value of $1 each. Tho ground that Is being worked by tho company W located In tho lint formation. Tho company will erect n cyanide plant ai boon lis MinU'lcnt ore has been blocked out.

Hooper of Eu rokn nnd Wesley Strecter of Oroton, S. D. The men expressed their astonishment at tho amount of development work that has already been done In tho Wnek Hills. They stated that very few of tho business men In the east realize the wealth of the un developed mines. Tho money that they had Invested In stock In one of the lllack 1 1 Ills companies bag doubled within six months. They stated tho time would soon como when tho cnpltnl of the eastern part of the Htate would play a very Important part In tho development of the mining resources of tho Hills. lion. K. W.

Ho Is expecting ether members of the company from the east and ns soon ns they nrrlvo plans will bo mailo for tho summer's work. The company has n well developed property In drizzly gulch, where ore In considerable quantities has been exposed. , 1'rourfHN In McIIkmIn of Kxtrnclloii. The wonderful strides that havo been made in the treatment of ore by the cyanldo proems In tho last six months are respon sible for tho good times that aro being shown In Uiwrenco county, Tho fact that tho actual cost of reducing refractory ores lins been lowered from $4 or (5 per ton to less than $1 has started a largo number of mtno owners to erecting cyanldo plants. A prominent Colorado mining expert stated In Deadwood recently that tho output of gold from tho lllack IIIHh would bo doubled .lthln live years as a result of tbo improve ments in tho cyanldo process, which permit tho treating of very low grade ores. This expert nlBo stated that by another year the cost of treating by this process would bo lessoned n third more. Compressed air for stirring the slimes and electricity for as sisting In tho dissolution of the values will becomo Imporant factors In the process. There Is a compnny In Colorado now which offers to erect n 100-ton cyanldo plant far $10,000 nnd guarantees nn extraction of S." per cent of the values. It Is stated that n Colorado company has completed plans fjr n 200-ton cyanide custom plant In this city. Thcro was n report of this several months ago and It Is now told that the deal has been consummated. Otto (Jrnntz, tho owner of tho rich mine In the North Lead district, states that It would bo an ensy matter to get n. guaranteo of 500 Inns of oro per day for a custom plant at Deadwood, providing tho prlco for treatment did not exceed $1 per ton. Ho states that n company would make 200 per cent Interest on the Invest ment, even If tho oro Is treated for that wnall amount. It Is again stnted that a l'lttsburg (I'a.) compnny has purchased tho American Express mine, In nincktall gulch, owned by W. S, Kldcr nnd associates of this city. The Deadwood owners hnvc gone cast to put tho deal through. This will also menu another custom plant In Deadwood, of per haps 200 tons dally capacity. A mining man who Is well acquainted with tho mines In Lawrence county states tint a total out put of 4,000 tone of ore could be obtained from tho oro bodies already opened, this being of the lower grade ores. Plants nro already either In course of construction or nro planned for thnt will hnvo n total ca pacity for treating 1,500 tons of oro dnlly, outsldo of tho largo Hnrneslako plant, which of Itself will bo ablo to handle 1,200 trns of ore. Detroit nml IIimiiIwiiiiiI l'lituo. It Is now likely that the Detroit and Deadwood Mining compnny will succeed In making a proposition win out. Tho com pany llrst commenced operations In Two lilt, whero considerable money was expended In n shaft nnd two drifts. There wn3 too much water and work was suspended, al though thuro wero Indications of oro In both drifts. Work hns been In progress on City creek In this city for somo time on rt copper vein with varying success, it Is yet bHIeved thnt copper and gohl oro will bo found there In paying quantities. Tho com pany has now bonded a tract of ground on Annlo creek, whero tho South Dakota Min ing company has worked several years. Oro In great qunntltles hns been found, but it Jins been too low grade to work by nny of tho old processes, Now thnt tho cynnldo process baa been so Improved, It Is posslblo to handle this oro at a profit of Jl to $5 per ton. It Is stated that there nro nlready ex posed 10,000 tons of ore. Tho company has tho foundation laid for n 300-ton cyanldo plant which will trent company nnd custom ore, Tho company Is compoied of rich Dc- Srott and Now York men, who will keep on nvestlng In mining properties in tho Hills intll they strlko something. .Tho foundation of tho great Homestako cyanldo plunt at Lead Is about half com pleted. Tho ground mensuro of tho plant Is (42 feet east nnd west nnd 1C0 feet noith and south. It will bo tho largest cyanldo plant In tho world. Tho capacity, when crowded to tho full extent, will bo nbout 1,200 tons per day. The tailings which come from tho stamp-mills now retain nbout 4)1.00 In gold. All of tho creek wnter that jwhsps through Deadwood, which Is so very black In color, carries In Its current thou sands of dollars worth of gold which has es caped from the platen In tho Homestakc mills.

Tho Idea of the natives is to formt nn independent party. It was remarked that out of 11,000 votes that could bo mustered tho natives would poll 9,000.

Chairman Sulzer was tho first sne.iker. After welcoming tbo envoys nnd emphat ically snying thnt tho reception wns non partlsan and nonpolltlcnl In character, he raid, In part: "In my Judgment nine-tenths of the American people aro against England In this bloody wnr of conquest for sordid gain nnd in sympnthy with tho Doers. Tho best thought of England condemns tho conflict and tho uwnkenlng consclenco of tho llrlilsh empire demands peace with honor In tho namo of humanity, Christianity and civil ization. "In 177C the patriot fathers of this re public fought Englnnd to gain our Inde pendence. The South African patriots nro today fighting the samo country lo main tain their Independence. That Is tho only difference. "Wo sympathized with Poland, with Hun gary, with Greece, with all the South American republics, with Armenia and with Cuba In their struggles for freedom. Many we helped. Why, I aBk. In the name of all that is Just and honorable, In the namo of our glorious past, should wo now refuso to lend our moral Biipport, our sympathy and our aid to tho patriots of South Africa? Is American sentiment dead? "England is now, nnd always has been, the aggressor against the Iloers and com pelled the Iloers to strlko first. The Doers will never surrender their lovo of liberty. They can only be conquered by bolng ex terminated and England must not be per mitted to exterminate them nnd steal their homes. Her criminal march of devastation must nnd will be checked. God ijrant that tho English army may nover reach Pre toria." liiivnjH Are Introduced. The three envoys wero Introduced In turn by Mr. Sulzer and each of them was given a cordial reception. Their remarks wero listened to with closo attention. Tho aud ience gnvo a standing greeting to Commis sioner Fischer, who told his hearers why tbo envoys had como to this country and what they hoped to accomplish. Ills re marks wero very much In keeping with what he already has said In published Interviews. "We have come across tho seas from two different republics," he said, "to see whether hero in tho hearts of tho people of a great sister republic, tho spirit of moro than n hundred years ngo Is still nllve, whether tho sentiment that caused Its peo ple to tako up arms to obtain freedom Is strong enough to recognlzo the feeling pos sessed by us. Wo como to you as a great liberty-loving people In whom tho sense of Justice nnd fair play Is strong and look to you to find a practical schemo to obtain peaco with Justice. I ennnot dllato on tho causes which hnvo led to tho trouble which now exists as I would like to, Wo come to appeal to your people and speak to you as brother republicans and to ask for a hearln and hope to obtain It. Tho receptions which wo hnvo been given havo been most gratify ing to us ever hlnce wo havo set fat on your shores. Thnro Ib no doubt from assur ances received from all parts of tho country that the sympathy of tho pcoplo la with us. Wo look to you to help us If possible, and whether wo get assutauco or not, we ap preciate the kindly feeling which has been manifested for us." Commissioner Wessels' speech wns a vivid plcturo of tho Doers In their contest for their rights, of tho charity and devotion which characterized their mannei and of tho patriotism with which they all went In to fight tholr battles. He felt sure thnt tho nudlenco would admit that tho Door had many good characteristics nnd was not an black no ho was painted. The Engllnhh na Hon apparently wished to act as Judgo nnd Jury. He nsked tho audlenco whether tho Doer nation had not tho right to claim the liberty and sympnthy of tho United States and cf tho world. ''Wo nro doing tho fight ing In the republics," he paid, "and havo kind friends In America who will do tbo speaking for us." WolniiirniiN TiiIKh In Uiiteli, Mr. Wolmarans, who spoko In Dutch, said to fhe audlenco that while tho envoys did expect to be sympathetically received In this country, yet they did not nnttclpato they would receive such u atrong welcomo ns hnd been shown to them In Now York City and tho capital of the nation. Ho know, however, It could not bo different, because tho peoplo of this country have tho fame lovo of llbprty and sense of Justice that tho Doers had and tholr sympa-hy would bo a help to thorn In tholr struggle. Tho speech of Senator Wellington,- which camo next, bristled with patriotic utter ances nnd was cheered to tho echo by tho audlenco. Tho senator said that an Amer icans we always had held nil men wero entitled nllko to life, liberty nnd happiness. It this wero true In America, ho askod, why not In South Africa? Some ono In tho nudlenco said: "Why not tho Philip pines, nlso?" to which tho senator added his nsscnt. Ho wished Godspeed to tho envoys In their mission nnd fiiecess to their cause. Ho went on to say that England hnd been our enemy at Hunker Hill, York town, New Orleans nnd In tho civil war, when eho made an alliance with tho enemy. England was not more .our friend today than sho wns 100 years ago. We had grown strong and mighty, ho continued, and hu ventured to My there would bo no moro attacks by England on this country. In the course of bis address bo paid a beautiful trltuto to Abraham Lincoln nnd declared that England had not produced I tlnce the Jays of Cromwell a statesman "I that compared with Lincoln. The senator expressed tho opinion" that It was reserve for the Doer nml' tW burgher to obtain tho very sublimity of moral and physical cour age, "Shall y on, a ml I, enjoying tho full heritage of liberty," ho asked, "not give them nld? I -wlf!."""' He predicted, tuialeslng, that no matter what might be tho result of the diplomatic mission of tho , chyoys, our government could not long stand In opposition to tho mnnlfcstntlons of syfiibathy cxpro2od by tho pcoplo for tho Doers, v llonrko ('nrkriin'ft AililreNN, Mrs. Edith W. 'Larnb here recited "Tho Spirit of '76" nnd presented nn American ling to Mrs. Fischer, the wife of one of the? envoys, following which Hon. Dourke Cock inn of New York delivered nn nddress. Mr. Cockrnn spoke for over half an hour. Ilia nddrcwi was a scholarly effort, touching upon tho Monroo doctrine, tho character of the Doers nnd a review of features of English affairs. Ho strongly advocated upholding tho Monroo doctrine, recalling Secretary Iloot's recent words that wo must bo pre pared, to light for It and adding thnt tho latter must bo gratified nt tho hearty re- sponc which had been made throughout this country. Deferring to Canada nnd Its proximity to tho United Stnten, he? said he believed as an English pccsesslon It was n menace to tbo maintenance of the Monroo doctrine. As n posslblo result of this wnr ho sug gested that Instead of the extension of monarchical governments In South Afrlcn tbo consequence might be the extension of republican authority over monarchical gov ernments, Soniei humorous reference was mado to tho recent action of tho senate In clcslng the doors while discussing tho reso lution of sympathy for tho lloer republic, which led Mr. Cockran to txpress tho belief It tho day had como when tho American wero fearful to express their views then tho nation s growth had not been In the wny of true greatness, but weakness. Ho vigorously attacked the Drltlsh government for vnrlous political meastiri's nml said that It never besltnted to cngago In u schemo of plunder and had followed this up In the present case of misrepresentation and slan der. He believed thnt the opportunity of this country had arrived. Whether or not there would bo Interference from tho ad ministration, the people knew that means would bo found to stop this Injury to civil ization which Is now going on. A duty must bo performed to tho people of England, tho Trnnsvnal nnd to tho wholo human ruco In every part of tho globe. Senator Wellington wHs Instructed by unanimous voto of tho audience to present In tho senate Senator Teller's resolution of sympnthy with the Doers. A collection of money wns nsked for In nld of tho widows nnd orphnns of tho Doer soldiers nnd upwnrd of $S00 wns raised for that purpose. Senator Mafon delivered tho closing speech of tho evening.

IIOOS There was u fairly liberal run of hogs at this point today for n Saturday, nnil us advices from other markets were none too favorable buyers tried to tako off n llttlo from yesterday's prices. As u result trade opened up slow, with bids ranging weak to 2'ic lower than yesler dny's genernl market.

Light stuff sold below that tlguio nnd tho choice heavy weights brought $5.15 or bet ter. Yesterday It will bo noted that tho bulk of tho hogs brought $5.10fi5 12. which makes today's average a trifle easier. Tho hog market has been In good shano nil tho week at this point In spite of the fact thnt receipts were the heaviest of any week this year. The demand was good all tho week, and each day's receipts wero cleaned up at a reasonably early hour. Tin first part of the week valuos moved upward until Wednesday, when values were about 8c higher than at tho closo of the preced ing week. Thursday, however, tho market started downward, and the loss amounted to about 3c. On Friday thero was a big run nnd buyers took off 9c, so that the week closes wdtli the market 5c lower than at tho close of the week. SHEEP There wero nn receipts todny nnd nothing to mnko n market.
