DEADWOOD, S. D., June 16. (Special.) The Imperial Mining company of this city ha let n contract (or the erection ot a 100-ton cyanide plant, which will he built Immediately In tht First ward. It Is to be the most complete plant of Its kind In the Black Hills. The Imperial company Is a reorganization of the American Express company. It holds a large acreage of ground in the Dlack Tall district west of this olty. Four shoots of ore have been opened up on lower quartzlte, which run from $10 to $30 per ton gold. It Is ame nahle to the cyanide process, a lest run on several thousHiid tons of the ore having been made. It Is the belief of the company that thero Is a free-mllllne bcarlne formation be neath the qufrtzltc, on the ground, and the new cyanide plant will be built with the expectation of some day putting In stamps. The nock of the company Is held mostly In Pennsylvania. This will make the third cyanide plant for the, First ward of Dead- wood. It Is now expected that tho Dakota company's plant- will bo ready for operation by the first of August, it will have a. ca pactty for treating 100 tons per day and It Is being built almost rntlroly by money furnished by Deadwood business men. Cleopatra .lllnr Mrll Hitch. The stock ot tho Cleopatra Mining com pany has gone far above par value. This Is a good thing for South Dakota Investors, since most of the stock in tho company Is held by men living In the eastern part ot this state. At tho annual meeting of the company, which was at Aberdeen, S. D., this week, It was voted to place the re malnlng stock In tho treasury at $1.50 per share and most of It was subscribed for by tho officers and stockholders ot the com pany at the meeting. The Cleopatra company has one ot tho finest mines In the Black Hills, which Is lo catcd In tho Squaw creek district, adjoining tho ironsides mine. Tho latter property was bought sorao tlmo ago by Colorado Springs people. The Cleopatra mine has a large amount of $10 ore, which Is found In the upper contacts. The lower oro con tact on quartzlte has not been touched yet, although a shaft has been put down nearly to that level. It Is believed that oro shoots will bo found on qunrtztte thn mitio as in the other producing districts farther south. It Is the Intention of tho company to sink the shaft deeper this season and $20,000 will be expended In development work. Tho company has a fifty-ton cyanide plant in operation, which will probably be doubled In capacity this summer. For several months past monthly dividends have been paid to the stockholders. Mammoth Steel HolntlnR- 1'lnnt. The Uncle Sam mine, twelve miles south of this city, Is now one' of tho richest pro ducers in the Black Hills. Permanent im provements have been added to tho prop erty In tho past two years by tho Clover Leaf Mining company ot Montana, It being stated that not less than $250,000 has been tho cash outlay. A mammoth steel hoist ing plant Is nearly completed at tho old ' stamp'trilHntid' underground, the Old work-, lng'a have been cleared and extensions made, which have opened up a large, as well as rich ledge of free-milling ore. Three months ago It was announced by the management that the crosscut had pene trated fifty feet of ledge matter and sine that time the development work has been continued uninterruptedly. Twenty of tha sixty stamps have been dropping on ore for several months and It Is said that the cleanups are. very heavy. Twenty stamps will bo added to the mill, making eighty, and all of them will be In operation as soon as the new hoist Is completed. This mine has been opened by Nick Treewek, who was for a number of years mine fore man of the Homcstnlta company. The suc cess of the Home8tako Is said to have been brought about greatly through his manage ment of the underground work. The Uncle Sam mine Is undoubtedly a rich shoot of ore that has been raado on tho southern end. of the Homestake ore lode. Tho principal backers of the com pany aro rich cattlemen of Wlebaux, Mont. There are rich streaks of ore In tho mine that are rivals of anv of tho bonanza finds In the Illack Hills. Tnniiel for Hidden Fortune. Three shifts of men are working on a tunnel near Central City for tho Hidden Fortune company. H. J. Mayham of Den ver has been here to settle a few things pertaining to the development of the large property that the company has acquired.

Waggoner of Eureka, III., closed a week of missionary lecturing at the First Christian church last night. Mr. Waggoner Is not a missionary, but an instructor In missionary work. This Is a field which he has himself originated, and ho is the sole representative of such work the world over. Mr. Waggoner Is a graduate o'f Yolo col lege and has gone to tho very depths of his subject. Since 1894 he has devoted his whole tlmo to this work. The lecturer's work consists of an ex haustive treatment of religions the world over, this being the base for a discussion of the headway Christianity has made In all parts. His talks are Illustrated and enhanced by the use of large charts showing the com parative followlngs of the different re ligions, the numerical extent of the differ ent races, the strength of Christianity In the various empires, etc. Stereoptlcon views aro also used. Mr, Waggoner's work Is Interdenomina tional, he having lectured to churches rep resenting nineteen different creede. He lectures constantly, having been on the rostrum for sixteen weeks so far this year. From here he goes to Elliot, la., for one week. In Omaha he has had small audi ences, but those attending have always shown Intenxo Interest In the subject and Its presentation. Quick Relief for Aathmn.

"If tho Rock Island were to build surh a lino It would best conserve the Inter ests of the company and ot Omaha to have u tap the present main lino at South Benrl Cass county, and travel almost duo south ward through Pawnco City to McFarland, Kan, This lino would traverso practically tho same rich agricultural section ns that contemplated in tho Emnorla nrolect. n section of which Is now almost devoid of adequate railroad facilities, and would be given tho advantage of a trunk line instead of a short, Isolated road. Tho building of the Rock Island to EI Paso makes this connection almost Imperative, nnd it built It would bo a through route from Chlcngo to El Pnso. "It would glvo Omaha a direct route to Fort Worth and all Texas points nnd re duce tho dlstnnco so that they would b only about eighty mllc3 farther away from mis city man rrora Kansas City, and only about sixty miles farther than from St. Joseph. It would give to Omaha, Kansas City and St. Joseph rates to the southwest and would afford tho Rock Island system in Iowa a direct connection with its southern system, avoiding the long nnd In direct mute by way of Bellevlllo, Kan. Tho Rock Island would only have to build about ISO miles -of road to effect this seemingly cssontlal connection."

MAKES AN APPEAL TO RAILROADS Ocnrrnl Effort to I'rnmntr I'orrMry Throughout the Country, In Which J. NtrrlliiK Morton Is nn Active Factor. John P. Brown of Connorsvlllo, Ind., seo-rctary-trcasurer of tho International So ciety of Arborculture, Is In the city on his return from Denver, where ho has spcut several days in tho Interests of tho so ciety. Tho International society is . tho outgrowth of tho Indiana Forestry associ ation. J. Sterling Morton of Nebrnska City Is the president and C. A. Schenck of Bllt more, N. C, Is the vice president. Its ob ject Is to create a wider Interest In tho growth of foreBt trees, not only in the United States, but In tho entire continent of North America. It corresponds with the societies for the propagation of forest trees In tho different countries of Europe and is in the van of tho movemout. At tho present tlmo tho secretary-treasurer is working to Interest the railroads nnd other lnrge corporations In tho move ment, ns these corporations will soon find that they cannot secure ties and poles, which they rcquiro In construction. Mr. Brown says that ho Is meeting with con sldtiiablc success and somo of the roads havo set out plantations. While desiring tho planting of nil sorts of forest trees, Mr. Brown especially urges tho claims of the hardy catnlpa to recognition. Speaking of this tree he says: "The hardy catalpa originated In Indiana and spread over Illinois and parts of Mis souri. It Is a tree of rapid growth and much value can bo used for ties and tele graph poles and, In fact, anywhere where timber of small size Is requlrod. There aro two varieties of catnlpas and It Is hard to distinguish tho difference. Tho south ern catalpa was sent out by cnrcless nurs ery men for the hardy variety nnd mnny plantations nre now valueless as a result. "The government made a mlslnko in tho application of tho 'timber claim' law aul refused settlers the right to plaut some of the best trees known, notably the Osage orange or bols d'arc, and the result wau that settlers wont to the ncarost stream and secured Cottonwood or box elder trees, valueless wood nnd poor shnde trees, so that as a means of Increasing the area of forests In tho country, the timber claim laws were practically vnluelcss."
