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.

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.

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.

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

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

RAPID CITY, S. D.. 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.

DEADWOOD, S. D April 28. (Spcclal.)
Tho explosion, which occurred nt tho Chi

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

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.

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.

It Is stated thnt harmony now prevails In

that the project will be pushed from this

$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

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

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

two beet sugar factories In opcrntlon
throughout the United States by the end
of next autumn. Kverythlng Indlentes that
tho Industry 13 thoroughly established
throughout the country. Mr. Saylcr says,
"Kvcn In the Inclpletiry of tho Industry,
theso factories have shown good profits,
They have maintained themselves without
any apparent contest with tho sugar trust.
Tho scctlous of the country that seem
most adaptable to tho Industry nro where
conditions call for new resources, as lu
Michigan, where there has been a phenome
nal Increase In tho last three years, largely
due to the waning of tho lumbering Industry
of that region. Thero will bo four factories
thero next season. California Is the lead
ing state In production, with eight fac
tories, Including tho laregst In the world,
Tho Immense amount of pulp and rcfuso
left after tho extraction of the sugar ap
peals especially to farmers and Industries
that grow out of farm products,"
Mr. Saylcr says no other feed for stock
Is so valuable nnd so cheap as beet pulp.
Tho beet sugar factories turn out from
15 to to per cent of the original weight of
the beets worked in the form of refuse or
by-product. Sugar beet seems to respond
especially to cultivation in the nrld region,
where they have given better results than
nny other crop. The arid section has been
enabled to cope with other sections of tho
country whero tho crops have been produced.
