THE OMAITA DAILY T1EE: MONDAY, AIT'ITj 20, 1001. 0 MINING IN THE BLACK HILLS Wip Number Two Beglni Diridtidi. DEVELOPMENT IN NORTH LEAD DISTRICT Slnrli fioinl Hxiirctril from IJtnrrl Mi'li'iilHIr IViirk-X'tt' I'rucraa lor Treiitlnsr Crnplillo Ore nt DBAMVOOD, S. I)., April Zi. (Special.) Another mining company operating In the Mack Hills has begun to pay dividends, The Wasp No. 2 Mining company has paid Its first dividend tho past week, nmountlng to J3.20U, which goes to 11 number of Illack Hills people. The company has been or ganized for sotno time, but was only re cently Incorporated. It Is operating tho Wasp No. 2 mine. In the Yellow Creek min ing district, three miles south of Lead. Tho mlno Is onn of tho old producers nf ri li ore, n great many tons having been ttihen out that run about $100 per ton gold. The lower grade ore Is now being worked in a cyanide plant of fifty tons dally cnpaclty. Tho mill started up about tho middle of last August, and In the Inter vening time It has produced 38,0AO In bullion, which has paid for the erection of tho cyanide plant and all other expenses incurred In getting the mine on a paying basis. Tho property Is now In a condition to pay regular dividends. Last month, 1.071 tons of ore were run through, which netted Jfi.10 per tun In gold. There Is twlcu ns much ore blocked out In thu mlno at the present time as when tho plant started, Tho Wasp No. 2 mine Is In the upper ore contacts, nt present In ore that Is Iden tically the same that Is found In tho dis trict north of Lead, which has recently been bonded to Denver parties. It Is be lieved that the llomestako lodu passes through this Yellow creek district, and that by sinking through tho quurtzlto, Into tho slates tho necessary depth, tho ore bodies will be found. The dividends that aro to be paid by this company, come entirely through the succens of the cyanide process as ndaptcd to tho low grade ores of the Illack Hills. 'I'm rut j-Tim ;iiiiIi1p I'lnni. Tho past week, tho twenty-ton cyanide plant at Central City, that was formerly owned by the Dakota company, started up on ore from the Cornucopia and I'ny Streak mines, near 'the Portland districts. Tho plant has been bought by Rellley & Harry of Central. The ore runs well enough In value to pay a good profit. Tho process Is the wot crushing with stamps and Im mersion In Cyanide. New cyanide tanks nro bolng put In at tho Portland mill, at Oayvllle. Tho com pany Is treating fifty tons of ore per day from thu mines at Portland. Tho stock of thu company Is held mostly nt Clinton, la. Thij plant Is onu of tho most complete In the Illack Hills. The Hidden fortune Mining company will probably begin work in tho Dingham tunnel lu Deadwood gulch, near the Klkhoru nar row gunge road, and In tho Hoodlebug tun nel, which starts In I'normau gulch. This will develop the big tract of ground In the North Lead district to a depth of 400 feet from the surface, without tho outlay of costly hoisting plants on tbo surface. It wns Intended to sink a shaft nt each end of the property. Tho Hlngham tunnel Is In over 200 feet and It has cut through n fino ledge of free-milling ore that runs about $1 per Ion gold. Tho Hoodlebug tunnel Is ercssaiiltlii!' the formation and will pass un der tho famous Hidden Fortune mine owned by Otto UranU. MIc fur rn- tnuii Mill. Tho slto picked out for tho stamp mill mid cyanide plant at Hollo Fourche Is the same that wns selected by John Pierce of Sioux City whin ho hail this Lead ground bonded. Tho same plans will be carried out by the Hidden Fortune company that Plcrco contemplated the oro will bo shipped over tho Klkhnrn road to Hello Fourche, where tho mills will be erected. Tho lust week thu Denver people, H. J. Mayham and associates, were In tho Hills looking over their newly acquired proper ties. They travel by special train, which Is something new to tho Ulack Hills. A spe cial sonico was given the party over the Klkhnru from this city to Uelle Fourche, thence to Hot Springs. -Much gpod Is expected to result to tho Il'nck Hills from tho expert scientific work that Is to be dono by Dr. V. H. Chambers and Kll Webb ot Pittsburg, Pa., who have ccnin to the Hills for tho purpose of giving thu miners a chanco to get expert work done They have leased a laboratory at Hill City of the Harney Peak Tin company, It being In the central part of tho Hills. They propose tii exainlno any rare sort of rock ai.d conduct experiments upon tho different tinsais ot ore with n view of ascertaining what process is best adapted to them. A lntgrr per cent of tho Illack Hills ores carry other values beslles gold and sliver, which nre Invarlnbly lost In tbo reduction pro cess. These Pittsburg men Intend to work out a process that will save the other values In the ore. Twenty additional stamps arc bolng In stalled In tho Caledonia mill at Tcrravlllo, one of tho Homestnko properties. This will give 100 stamps to tbo mill and It will bo In operation very soon. The prospect Is good for tho llomestako company building tho second cyantdo plant this spring. .iniui t i Ship Crnphllr. Tho Copper Cliff Mining company of Ironwood, Mich., Is soon to begin tho fchlpmcnt of grnphlto to Chicago. A letlga of this material, over thirty feet wldo, has been opened up on the company'3 property west of Hoehford, In Pennington county, iioxt to tho Ilmcstouo ranse. It runs about 70 per rent graphite and 14 per cent sill cato. Tho company has recently purchased the patent light for a now process of puri fying graphite from a German company nud nn old graphlto plant hug been pur chased at n cost of about $30,0(10, In Chi cago. A patent has been applied for the process In this country and it will be In ntnlled first at Chicago, The. plant will have a rnpaclty of nine eniioads per month and the company pro poses to bupply It from tho mine near Hoeh ford. Tho silicate In tho oro Is needed In the process of retlnlng tho graphite. It is slated that tho company will soon begin tho shipment of copper ore to Denver. A low rate has been scoured over tho Our llngton, which will admit of a good profit rn the shipments. A ledge of copper has been cut over fifty feet wide, which accompanies tho graphite on the east. Tho values run well In cop per. Tho new process that has been se cured by tho company for refining the graphlto Is similar to the cyanide process Ir. Its operation. An acid Is employed, which Is tiBcd over and over again, making the process very cheap, It is posslblo with this process to use ore with as low na in per cent graphite. Tho grnphlte ledge on this company's ground Is over '2,1)00 fcot Jong, IIIPT llCMlKC Of (.'OIHMT HUll Glllll, Tho Hlack Hills Copper company of Henton Harbor, Mich., has without doubt found n blj ledge of copper and gold ore on a property about two miles south of thu Copper Cliff company. A drift was run west at the bottom of a 400-foot lu ellne and the oro was encountered In ; stronr, ledgo that Is as yet of unknown width. U has been penetrated about twelve feet and tho nsoays In gold and copper nr.i very good. It was from this property In tho early days of tho district that a carload nf roppor ore aa nblppct to OhicaRo, which averaged IS per cent of that mctnl. The Hrltlsh-Aniprlcan company of De troit, Mich.. Is HlnkltiK a deep shaft on 11 property between these two companies A. ledgo of copper ore will bo enconntercJ at h depth of nhout 300 feet. A bcttt'r emtio of copper ore Is being taken out of the mines on .Spring rreek, ten miles south of this Roehford district. The ore Is now rich cnouRh to ship.

April 2s, (Special.) Much complaint Is being made with ref erence to the attitude of tho Interior de partment toward settlors In tho Hlack Hills forest reservation. After the forest re serve was established by presidential proc lamation congress passed an act for the protection of settlers within tbo boundaries of tho reserve, conferring upon them the right to filo homcitcads on thu lands settled upon and Improved by them. A great many settlers have taken advantage of this act and made tbelr homestead entries. It seems thut many of them did not make entry until after tho expiration of ninety days from the date of filing the plat of tho town bblp In which their lands were located and tho commissioner of the general Innd office Is now calling on them to show eauso why their entries should not bo cancelled, be cause not mado within ninety days after tho dato of filing the plats. These settlers arc, for tho most part, old-tlmera who havo placed valuable Improvements on their lauds and In good faith established homes. They of course had no knowledge that they would be required to fllo within any lim ited time and the holding ot the commis sioner they regard In the nature of a snap Judgment. If this position Is miilntnlned It will result In what they feel to bo such Injustice and Injury to the settler as Uncle Sam has never Inflicted or tolerated up to this time. It Is said that the attitude of the com mlhslomr and the secretary of the interior department is duo to their hostility to tho act ot June I, 1 SOT, which allows those owning lands within a forest rcnervatlon to exchange them for other public lands. Many of those owning lands In the Hlack Hills forest rcservo have taken ndvantnge ot this act of congress and have sold portions or all of their lands. It is known that the secretary and commissioner havo recom mended the repeal or modification of this act nud, falling In this, it seems from the settlers' point of view to bo their fixed purpose to obstruct and hinder Its oporn tlon. Congress alone Is responsible for this law nnd so long ns It remains on the statuto books citizens havo a right to Its benefits. , Residents of the Hlack till In feel that they havo not nt any tlmo been favorites of the government, but hnvo always had to fight for everything they got. The earliest set tlers In the hllla were taken prisoners and taken out, of tho hills by the govern lucni s soiuiers, nnu some or them were Intercepted on their way to tho hills, 1m prisoned and thalr property burned by soldiers. Notwithstanding tho Ill-treatment to which they havo been subjected they are a most loyal and patriotic class of people, When tho Spanish war broke out the Hlack Hills sent out three companies of soldier boys, besides two companies of Rough Riders. There are no braver sol dlers or bettor citizens than those of the Illack Hills. in this connection there Is a movement on foot favoring tho appointment of Cap tain factb Uullock of Deadwood ns forest supervisor. Captain Bullock Is an old-time resident, his Interests nro here and be kuows the country, the people and their needs. DHnllft of Fntnl Kxplnnlim. DEADWOOD, S. D April 28. (Spcclal.) Tho explosion, which occurred nt tho Chi cago and Two-Hit mlno Thursday morning, In which Charles Woods lost his life, was tho most horrible that has occurred In the Hills In many years. Three other men were sovcitdy hurt and one will probably los.0 the sight of ono eye. When the night shift left duty In the early morning, It had left ono shot which had failed to go off, nut the dny shift was warned of It. Tho men wcro not able to locate It, but when Woods, who wns a helper In the mine, wns drilling a hole with a machine drill, tho drill got stuck and as bo tried to loosen It n tremendous explosion took place. A piece ot tho steel drill was blown directly thiough Wood's body nnd ho lived but two hours. Jamc3 D. Hardin, general manager of tho mine, narrowly escaped. Ho was about to cuter the shaft whon a telephone message cnlled him away. Just then the explosion occurred. Woods' body was taken to tho homo of his pnronts on the Hello Foiirchu river. Ho leaves a young wife and Infant. Mouth Dnltntn llnllrnnil ('nininlixlnii SIOUX FALLS, S. D., April 28.

LARGER COMMAND FOR FORT RUSSELL I'onI Will hiioii He One nf I In' linen! In tlif " tm ( r IIiimci'iiI View for Wool MnrL-t nml Other l.ncnt Imltistiiei. CHIJYKNNK, Wyo., April 28. (Special.) Senator F. K. Warren returned this morn ing from Washington and will remain in the city for some time. Senator Warren says tho contract for tho completion of tho fed eral building hero will be let In a few lays, and It Is understood It Is the Inten tion of tho department to hurry matters along. Speaking of tho proposed Improvements at Fort Russell and tho establishment of a argcr command there, the senator said- "Tho appropriation of $r,000 additional for construction of the buildings at Fort Russel, for which we had to make a hard fight, will be available Judy 1. and contracts will be let Immediately for Improvements to cost thut amount." Senator Warren says the post near Cheyenne will soon bo one of tho finest In tho country; the road to tho post from tho city will bo Improvid and not less than battalion of four companies will be sta tioned there. Just when tho additional troops will be sent to Russell Is uncertain, owing to the many changes Incident to the war In tho Philippines, but In view of the fact that the trouble over there Is about at an end It ought not to bo many months before Fort Russell has Its quota of sol diers. An army of 78,000 Is to bo main tained and ns every post lu tho country is to be garrisoned, Russell will recelvo Its share. Speaking of the eastern market nnd busi ness conditions, the senator said that busi ness ot all kinds Is good and there Is more Inquiry back there now for western stocks nud Investments thnn ever before. Tho price of wool and mutton Is low, and beef Is not high, although the mnrkcts aro based upon substantial conditions, which will tend to Increase rather than decrease values. Regarding tho price of wool, Senator Warren takes a hopeful vlow of tho future for this community. Ho says tho market Is overstocked, tho clip of l'JOO being senrcely touched. The enormous quantities of wool Imported during the last year of tho free tariff have kept the markets glutted. Prices, however, are bound to go up, but Just when the Improved conditions will be Inaugurated It Is difficult to say. The sur plus of wool Is gradually being worked out, however, nnd It will not bo long until there Is a sharper demnnd for fleeces and the prlco of wool will advance accordingly. Sonntor Warren says that tho proscnt epcculatlvo values In railroad and Industrial stocks are too high, nnd In his opinion a great drop mny be expected In these very soon. The Union Pacific. Mr. Warren says, Is fast becoming ono of the greatest railroads In the country, nnd tho extensive Improve ments mado the past year wore but an earnest of what. Is to follow.

(MSOffMOfMMQ Various predictions aro mado as to tho result of the council meeting tonight In the matter of the nomination nnd confirmation ot two members ot tbo council. Rumor has It that Councllracn Martin and Dvorak aro as variable In their opinions as the winds off Capo Hattoras. Uefore the nieetlug last Tuesday night theso two members had virtually agreed to voto for Vansant, but at tho last moment changed their minds and then tho three republican candidates, Clifton, Mead and Vansant, say that It was useless to try to securo a confirmation that night so they withdrew their names for the tlmo being. On Wednesday Wead saw that there was little If any hope for him and ho notified tho mayor to scratch his name off the list, as ho did not like the Idea of having to move to get a Job Vansant Is rathor Independent about tho matter nnd doesn't seem to caro much which way the wind blows, but he said yesterday that since he wns in the fight ho would stay It out. Clifton still sticks but tho nlllcd corporations aro against him and last night his chances ot confirmation looked slim. The announcement has been mado prl vately that Mayor Kelly Is a candidate for re-election and that he will endeavor to make this second year of his term a marvel In good government, In order to convince tho pcoplo thnt he Is tho right man In th right place. As a starter tho mayor has ordered all slot machines turned to tho wall on May 1. This order to owners of machines has been Issued through Chief of Police Mitchell, and will go Into effect at midnight on April 30. Thero Is ono thing certain and that Is republican from tho Sixth ward will bo named first, nnd then If Johnson ran b confirmed he will be named. Certain city officials assert that Johnson Is deserving of tho place, although a democrat, on no count of the work he performed during the framing of tho charter and his labors Lincoln during tho passage of tho char r. Certain republicans who clnlm to Know what Is going on asiiert thnt Johnson has ulready been paid for what ho did nnd that a republican should bo appointed from tho Fifth ward. It may bo that tho ap pointment of Johnson will hold tho matter up for some time longer, but If Mnrtln and Dvorak can bo Induced to remain of the same mind during one session, there Is a possibility of tho appointments bolng mado tonight, although the mayor still ap pears Indifferent and may decide at the last moment to dofer tho matter unless ho Is sure his appointees- will bo confirmed. Iliinni lu (lie Hump Market. A well known hnrso dealer doing business nt tho yards hero said yesterday that It looked as If there was going to ho a boom In horscB during tho present year. Tho market continues strong and the demand Is really In excess of tho supply. Last year's marketings from the ranges cleaned up a large percentage of rough stock and from now on thcie will bo a better grade of offerings from tho west this year. In Colorndo the improvement in tho condition of range horses has beon most remarkable and soma really good stock will be sent from thero to this market this year. By the building of the fancy sale pavilion a great deal more room for tho horse market at tho ynrds here will he provided and shipments, no matter how large, can be cared for. lloitniliiK Hirer!

It Is stated thnt harmony now prevails In the camp of the street fair promoters, and that the project will be pushed from this time on, At a meeting held yesterday fif teen members or the association subscribed J 250 each, making a total cash fund of $3,750. This money, It Is understood, will bo divided Into different fund3 nnd appor tioned to committees. If necessary another I assessment will bo made, as the members , nf the nssoclatlon express a willingness to ee the show go through regardless ot ox- I pence. The Packers' National bank has beeii designated as tho depository of tho funds of the association nnd Frank J. Morlarty, ashler of tiic bank, although not a mem ber of the association, has been selected as treasurer. It Is understood that the granting of con cessions will be commenced at once, al though the fair wilt not be held until July. n additional attraction will be the hold ing of sales of fancy live stock at the yards during the fair. Several bids fir conces- Ions have been received and arc now on file and more are expected dally. The ad- crtlslng committee will mako every effort to secure attendance from surrounding tates and a movement Is on foot to lnduco the railroads to run excursions here. Corner on Unit.
