LEAD, 8. D., Sept. 22. (Special,) An
other large crowd of eastern capitalists has
been given a trio to the niack Hill, to In
spect the great resources In precious met
als. The Hidden Kortune company, which
was organized last iprlng by Denver men,
brought tho men In from New York, Mil
waukee, Chicago, Ohio and Michigan. They
irprcsentcd millions of capital and wcro
more than pleased at what they saw.
The Hidden Fortune company has made
remarkable strides In the last few months
In opening up ore bodies. At thrco points
on the big tract of mining ground north of
thla city work ha boon In progress, thirty
men having been employed. Grading Is be
ing done for the sbafthousn at the apex of
the mountain, and as soon as the machinery
an Ives It will bo set up. The shaft Is be
ing sunk by hand, with a horse whim, and
It l nearlng the 100-foot level. At the seventy-foot
level a ledge of ore two feet thick
appeared, which averaged $16 ; ton gold.
This dipped out of tho shaft and will be
found with a crosscut soon. A larger ledge
of free-milling ore has been encountered In
the Hoodlebug tunnel on the western sldo
of tho property and the big Baltic tunucl,
which Is running In with the formation
from the Deadwood gulch side of the hill,
Is also In a good grade of ore.
Hon. A. M. Stevenson of Denver, presi
dent of the company, spent two days last
week on the ground with tho eastern parties.
H. J. Mayham, who Is raising most of tho
money that Is going Into the project, he
being the secretary of the company, alfn
came In from tho rnst. Ho says that tho
money condition In the east Is In tho best
possible shape for mining enterprises. He
had to ralso JSOO.00O to carry out the plana
of the company and succeeded beyond his
expectations.
Ill l.'MV-f.riNlm Arc Attmrtlt r.
Capitalists In tho east who are Inclined to
Invest In mining stock nt all aro looklnj;
for Investments In the big low-grado gold
properties. This I what the Hidden Kor
tune company has. Its ground lies adjoin
ing the Homestako mlno on the west and It
has already encountered two of the paral
lel veins that run with tho Homestako oro
bodlos. There are three well known Denver
mining experts In tho lllnck Hills looking
for these big low-grade properties. Several
districts contain them and for tho next few
weohg tho country will bo carefully Invcstl
gated and good properties will surely be
picked up.
Tho Two Johna Mining company will In
stall a diamond drill at the Two Johns
mine, In the Crown Hill district, to exploit
the ore- measures on tho quartzlte level. The
mine Is owned by C. A. Hnllam and asso
elates of Chicago. About $50,000 worth of
oro hag been shipped from the initio In
former times.
Tho main ledge of ore In the Grizzly Dear
mine, five mllea southeast of Hill City, has
been found, after several months' work
with two shifts of men. The name of the
company that Is developing the old mine
Is the Lakota. Tho president Is L. (I. Linn
of Denver and Its stockholders are of
Peoria, HI., and Unlonvlllo and Pittsburg.
Ta. The Grizzly Hear mine Is considered
a rich property. It has a twcnty-Htamp
mill and has put out a good ruanv ihnunnrt
dollara' worth -of. oro. Tho mill will soon
De started up on a steady run of ore.
I'rot Our of (he Ileal.
Tho grade of ore In tho lower worklnes
of the Black Hills Copper company, five
mnes wost ur llocbford, has become rich
enough to treat. An Incline shaft was
started on a large ledgo of copper and gold
Bearing ore, low in grade and at the two
foot level, It has made Into one of tho best
things In the Illack Hills. The oro carries
over 40 per cent sulphur, about 2 per cent
copper, and $4 In gold. Worked on n larcc
scale. It will pay handsomely. Theso values
atsure about 100 feet abovo tho water level
and It Is believed that lower down the In
crease In values will be considerable A
crosscut will be run shortly, east and west
from the bottom of tho Incline and two
other large ledges will bo crosscut, which
may havo still higher values. Tho com
pany Is figuring on tho erection of a smut
ter.
Local mining men have organized tho
Potsdam Mining company, Intending to
work over old dumps In the Itagged Top
district, with the cyanide procoss. Tanks
havo been Installed and the plant Is ready
for work.
The possibilities of the "flat formation"
districts In Lawrence county are being
realized more and more every day. It has
often boen sild that the life of a district
containing the fit sheets of oro only, had
a short left, but tho recent discovery of
an oro body by tho Golden Rowurd com
pany In tho Bald mountain district, ovor
400 feet wide and averaging four feet In
thickness and n similar sheet, possibly the
same one, on tho property of the Horeshoo
Mining company, In tho samo vicinity, gives
rise to tho boiler that when fully dovoloped,
tho flat districts aro practically Inexhaus
tible. The ore shoot occur very close to
gether and they extend for a good many
miles In length. This oro Is omenable to
all of the processes In use In the Black Hills
for the treatment of refractory ores. Most
of It Is especially well adapted to the
cyanide process. The Bald mountain dis
trict Is now outputtlng about 500 tons of
ere per day.
lyln Double Citporlt'.
Tho owners of tho electric-chlorine plant
at MystU are negotiating with tho Horse
shoe Mlnlug company, which owns n large
tract of mining ground In the Bald moun
tain district, to treat 100 tons of ore dally.
Th cost of treatment will he about J6
per ton and the mill owners will give a 95
per cent extraction on the returns. The
Horseshoe company has a largo amount of
ore loft In Its mines that will not chlorinate
well and there has been some talk of erect
ing a smelter alongside of tho chlorinating
plant at Pluma, In which to treat this
class of ore, but if satisfactory arrange
ments can be made with the Mystic people
tho ore wll be treated there Instead of
In a new smelter. The Mystic plant has
been doubled In capacity, mnklng 150 tons
per day, and It Is now ready to go Into
commission. Thn ore will for the most part
come from tho nilurs of Lawrence county.
Milwaukee capitalists have organized the
Wabatth Mining company and will operate
nr. old mine nine miles northwest of Cus
ter. In the Danaby district. A largo group
3f mining claims has been 'purchased. In
Mudlng the Duchas mine, which has been
Jeveloped extensively alrrady. There Is
ledge of free-milling and concentrating
oro exposed, which can be handled at a
great profit with the modern Improvements
of milling. A steam hoisting plant has been
purchased from a Denver company and It
sill be Installed this month.
Kinlnltlnit Gopher Properly.
The Gopher Mining company of Mlnne
polls will uso a diamond drill to exploit
the Gopher property located three mll4
north of Hill City. There are several
ledges of rich frce-mllllns ore that outcrop
the property and excellent mill test

Tho dispute grew out of the fact that
Perry's report, while giving Elliott no
small praise for his efficient services with
a portion of the squadron, was unsatisfac
tory to '.he officers of Elliott's ship the
Niagara. The officers sent a letter to the
department giving their account of the

that It forged ahead, receiving the flro
of three of the enemy's vessels; that the

Gretna Green Paralyzed
The freo and easy marrlago lawn of In
dlana havo been the means of building up
profitable business for marrying parsons
nnd magistrates along the border towns of
particularly at JeffcrsonvUlc and New Al
cany, opposite Loulsvlllo, tho business grew
to be a scnndal and decent people on both
sides of the river struggled In vain to
check It, At last the movement reached
the legislature and scored some success.
An amendment to thn marrlago law was
passed at the legislative session lost winter
requiring the woman seeking marriage to
have been a resident for thirty days of the
county wheroln the license Is sought. This
law Is now In operation and tho dctermlna
tlon of the authorities, backed by the order
of the state attorney goncral, causes con-
stornatlon among the greedy magistrates
and their runners.
A correspondent of the New York Sun
writing from Jefforsonvllle, says tho dls-
reputable features of the business at that
point was the secrecy observod at the II-
cense offlco nnd tho employment of matrl-
monlal steorors and runners. So brazen did
these steerers become that the Jefferson

FAIRFIELD, Neb., Sept. 20. To tho Edi
tor of The Bee: More than seventy year
ago Abram Garfield and his half-brother.
Amos Doynton, hewed homes out of the
original wilderness ten miles east of Cleve
land, O., and built log houses for the tem
porary shelter of their families. Everyone
has read of the sudden death of Abram
Garfield when his son James was 3 year'
old and how Amos Doynton and hit wife,
who was Mrs. Garfield's sister, helped tho
widow to keep her family together and
maintain tho little home,
Somowhero about sixty-two years ago,
Amos Boynton built a substantial frame
house, which Is still In a good Mate of
preservation.
During the ar a little postoffice was
maintained at tho house of a neighbor, halt
a mile north of the, Doynton home. Old
Mr. Eddy was tbo postmaster and throw
times a week he met thn hack which ran
from ClevuUnd to Chagrin Palls and took
tho little bundle'of mall to his house, wheru
the neighbors called for It at their con
venience. That was free rural mall de

That tho findings of the court did not end
the controversy Is seen In tho fact that
Commodoro Perry silll criticised Captain
Elliott. The later In ISIS Bent him a chal

Perry dccltnod, raying he had another
rled. Tho Kentucky law Tcqulres a woman
to be 21 beforo sho can marry without the
consent of her parents, while the Indiana
inw allows her perfect liberty at tho age of
conomy
and romance are not billed everywhere on
the same program. Another reason for tho
popularity for theso JefferBonvlllo mar
riages is that people are thore who make
It a business to marry couples at any old
time and at any old price.

Kelgwln and Hause formed a partnership,
Hause estimates that ho rnnritirteri nno

bills and many of theso bills will not be
presented for teveral wcrke.
Tho treasurer of the board, who has been
making estimates of expenditures and re
ceipts, stated that as far as the board could
ertlinate at this time the accountn would
balance, leaving the treasury practically
dcplcatcd. At tne close of the carnival last
year there was about JS.000 In the treasury,
but this monty has been expended In thn
Improvement of the machinery of the pa
rades, the purchase of new trucks and other
supplies and In meeting a deficit.
Tho principal cause of the present de
ficit Is the fact that tho response to the call
for conttlbutlons to the parade fund did not
meet with the usual response. In previous
years It has been customary to "also from
$10,000 to $12,000, while thl scaoti tho total
receipts for this fund wire about $5,500.
Many persons refused to contribute the
usual amount on nccount of the surplus re
maining In the treasury after tho close of
tho catnlval of 1900, and others reduced the
amount of their subscriptions for the same
reason.
Had it not been for the fact that the car
nival grounds were clcecd Thursday and
that on tho days of tho carnival when the
largest crowd were expected the weather
was at lta worst, thcro Is no doubt In the
mlndi of the members of the board that the
carnival would have paid expenses nnd In
creased tho reserve In spite of the fact that
the aurplus fund was drawn upon to pay th
expenses of the parade, As It was, In spite
of the death of President McKlnley nnd the
bad weather, there were more people on the
carnival grounds this season than there
wcro last, the exact (Inures for paid admis
sions being, 1001, lOfi.MU; 1000. !3.400, while
tho total paid admttslons for the last day
were 17.0S2.
At tho ball Friday evening It was Im
possible to recetvo all of tho persons ap
plying for admission. Spectators' tickets to
the number of 1,500 had been provided, but
theso were exhausted early In tho day and
the ressrved seat tickets wcro all sold
Trcaiurer Penfold said that never since the
fall festivities were Inaugurated was thcro
such a demand from the country for scats
