IN THE BLACK HILLS Anothtr Largs Deal is Piidiig in th Homeitaks On Etlt. POSSIBILITIES JUST BEGIN TO BE LEARNED Mating ruioiit of Vnrlous Propertlel HlKhly Utntcd Over the Results of Their Cleanups eir Enter prise Projected. DEADWOOD, S, D., Oct. 6. (Special.) Another lnrge mining deal Is pending on the Homestnke ore belt, not far north of the Uncle Sam mine. Colorado capitalists are backing the enterprise. There Is on this property a vein of free milling ore ex posed which Is of unknown width, the cross cuts nnd shafts showing ore for fifty feot, with neither sldewnll. The proposition is another of the "manufacturing" enterprises which are attracting so much attention Just at present. The people who Intend to float the deal represent $1,000,000 of their own cupltal and they have any amount held by their friends, who will contribute to the need? of the undertaking. There' are 400 ncres of ground In the deal and there are surfnrc Indications equal to tho Homestake, which Is located but six miles farther north. Tho possibilities of the great Homestake ore belt nre only Just commencing to bo comprehended. The phcnomennl richness of the largo shoot of ore In tho Uncle Sam mine, which Is astonishing th hit of tho mining people, Is doing much toward get ting other large companies at work nlong tho Homestako belt. It Is stated that the Uncle Sam ore shoot nt the 400-foot level Is forty-five feet wide and from eighty to 100 feet long, Only twenty of the sixty stamps are dropping on oro at present. It Is stnted that the cleanup per month nmounts to about $75,000. This would make the ore run about $21 per ton gold. Clover l.enf Seldom Unfolds. The Clover Leaf company, which Is oporatlng the mine, is n close corporation and It Is a difficult matter to get reliable Information nbout Its output and oro re serves. But tho fact that tho company has ordered additional stumps and has In stalled one of tho largest steel hoisting plants in tho Black Hills argues well for tho futuro of tho mine. Tho Homestnke belt Is now being very thoroughly pros pected and somo very good discoveries of freo milling ledges have already been re ported this fall. Tho time Is now oppor tune for big deals, requiring n capital paid In of $500,000. Tho Dakota Mining company's cyanide plant, with 100 tons dally capacity, has now been running ten days and tho first cleanup has been mnde. The extraction for tho first run of oro was ns good ns was ex pected and tho mnnngemcnt Is greatly cln ted. This plant Is n combination of the stamp mill and tanks The ore Is not amalgamated, however, It being merely crushed and made ready for the cyanide tanks. This company will be a good divi dend payer. Hnsy on the Tin KIiik, The United States Tin company has set ten miners nt work on the Tin King and Century mines at Hill City and Orovllle. This Is tho first actual development work that has been started on tin In tho Black Hills since the collnpse of tho Harnoy Peak Tin company a dozen years ago. Very few outside people reallzo what a demand there is on at present for tln boarlng ground. Ml of tho old properties that wero considered good propositions n dozen years ago aro ou the market again and good prices aro being nsked for them. There nro four good companies In tho field now In Pennington nnd Custer counties and a number of tin exports are slyly looking nround. A largo group of clnlms six miles below Keystone, owned by tho Swanson brothers, which wns partly sold to the Hnrnoy Peak Tin company for $60,000, has been bonded to eastern parties and a deal Is sure to be made. A cablegram from London thtH week stated thnt experts for the American Tlnplnto company would bo on the ground to cxamlno n well known property at Oro vllle nnd It Is known that the United States Tin company of Columbus, O., which Is being promoted by E. J. Miller, a personal frlo.id of Mark Hanna, has other ground In view. It Is expected that the famous Sally Cavanaugh tin mine at Orovllle will bo told before tho middle of this month. Tnltes World' Fnlr Mednl. This property consists of 400 acres of quartz clnlms nnd gold plnccr, with a water right on Spring creek and a flume three miles long. Tho ore from the main ledge carried away the first medal at th World's fair for being the richest tin oro In tho world. Mrs. Jeff McDcrmott owns tho mine and she has parties of world re nown negotiating for It. All of this ex citement In tin Is certain to bring about some good result. This time the develop ment of tho tin properties Is In tho bands of smaller companies and the matter will be honestly handled and the question whether or not tin Is to be found In tha Black Hills In commercial quantities will forever bo settled. A rich strike of free milling ore has been made by Richard Dwyer on the divide between Castle creek and Slate creek, live miles northweat of Mystic. In this sarao vicinity W. R. Castle and associates aro opening up a large vein of free milling and concentrating ore, which runs bettor than $20 per ton gold. Tho ground Is located at Wheeler hill, from which $60,000 has been taken In placer gold, Tho coun try along Castlo creek Is rich In freo mill ing veins. Still Hope for Ttlch Strike. The Black Hills Belt Development com pany of Colorado Springs, which Is develop ing a hlock of ground south of Lead, Is approaching tho 700-foot level with tho shaft, and the diamond drill which was started about 1,000 feot cast of the shaft, Is down nbout 600 feet. Tho company pro poses to commence crosscuttlng tho for mation soon, possibly nt tho 700-foot level. Thcro wos some hopo that tho shaft would strike the oro vein, but thus far thcro hns been vory little oro In tho workings. Tho big ore vein may be a short distance either to tho cast or to the west. The company Is going to find it, If such a thing Is pos sible. Down near Mystic tho company Is patenting a mlllslto at the forka of Rapid and Castlo creeks, A flumo of considerable length has been built and as soon as oro has been encountered work on large mills will bo commenced. In tho Yellow creek district the Wasp No. 2 Mining company of this city has doubled tho capacity of tho fifty-ton cyanide plant, There nre many thousands of tons of $4 oro In tho mine which Is considered very low grade to treat by any process In tho Hills, There Is nlso a large amount of $8 to $10 oro, which would give a hand some dividend with a fifty-ton plant. Good Cleanup mi l.ovr Grade. In order to bo able to successfully handle the $4 ore tho plant was Increased In ra pacity nnd the company Is now making about the same cleanup on this low grade rock as It did on the higher grade with the fifty-ton jjlant. Tho success of the company at this mine Is acting as a stimu lant to other companies to Increase their mill capacity and handlo more of the low grado rock. This Wasp company Is pay ing a monthly dividend of about $4,000, which goes Into the pockets principally of Dcadwood people. The amount of $4 nnd $6 ore In the Black Hills that will yield from 85 to 92 per cent of Its value to the cyanide process Is simply beyond the com prehension of anyone. The cyanide process Is working marvels In tho Black Hills. It Is the talk and tho dream of the mining men. Capitalists arc flocking to the Hills to Investigate the reports that they have heard outside of tho Hills. Tho Edna Exploration company, organ ized by Deadwood business men, Is de veloping somo properties in the Garden City district which ts one of tho best min ing camps for the cyanide process. The ore Is both fiat and vertical and It averages about $10 per ton gold. Thore Is nu old custom cynnldo plant In the district.

This cross 1b of great nrtlstlc value, since It Is the onlv ennmeled model known to be older than 1312. It Is of gold, and measures one and one-half Inches Iiiuk by ono Inch broad, nnd ! covered on cither side with llgures In enamel. On tho frout Christ Is depicted on tho cross; on tho buck nro tho figures of Christ; In tho center, of St. B.-isIIIhs, St. John Chrysestom, St. Mary nnd St. John, the evnngollst. When good Queen Dagmnr, tho "darling queen" of the Danes, died In 1U12. the cross was laid upon her breast. In tho time of Charles V tho tomb wns opened nnd tho cross taken away and placed In the mu seum. It Is dally visited by crowds of ad mlrlnfi Danes, thnt tnlk lovingly of tho beautiful queen, who "nsked neither goods nor gold, broad nciea, or stones of price ns a morning gift, but nsked her lord. Val domar, tho Victorious, to free tho peasantry from n heavy tax, and tho poor prisoners from their fetters." It Is said In Denmark that this queen committed no greater Bin than the "lacing of her silk sleoves small" on a Sunday morning. Tho Dagmnr cross given to Princess, now Ojueen Alexandra, by her father, was cop ied faithfully In every detail bv the court Jeweler at Copenhngen, and la one of the queen's most treasured possessions. Another "Jewel" which tho queen values Is that bestowed upon her ns a member of tho Order of the Royal Red Cross, one of tho threo honorary titles which in England can bo conferred upon women. Tho other two nre tho Crown of India and tho Royal Order of Victoria and Albert. Tho queen bends tho list of tho first clnso of tho latter order, only sovereigns nnd princesses of the high est rank being eligible to membcrshln. which now numbers twenty-thrco rovnl Indies. Tho latest member is Holland's young queen. Tho coveted order of Ilollnnd Is tho Lion of the Netherlands. Tho first tlmo tho cross of tho order was conferred upon a woman wns when Queen Wllhelmlna re cently bestowed It upon tho mother superior of tho Sisters of Mercy, Slnco the death of the empress of Aus tria tho emperor lias founded n new order In her memory nnd named It St. Elizabeth. Tho cross of tho order bears nn ennmeled picture of St. Elizabeth of Thurlngln nnd Is conferred upon women who merit distinc tion In tho vnrlouB vocations of life, or In special religious, humnnltnrinu and phil anthropic works. The first recipient of tho order was the Countess Rzapary, upon whom it wns bestowed In recognition of hor de voted services to tho dead empress In her last hours. The Austrian Stnr Cro3s Order Is the oldest of tho eleven orders designed for women In various parts of the world. Even tho Sultnn of Turkey, nbout twentv yenrs ago. Instituted an order for women Thn Shah of Persia has dono the snme. Tho only womnn who over had conferred upon her tho order of St. Oeorgo of Russia Is tho former queen of Nnples, She be haved with such gallnntry nt the Hlege of Oneta that the czar mndo nn oxceptlon In her favo nnd sent hor tho crops of tho order.

Apropos of tho kalsor's own decorntlons he hns In nil over 200 crosses, stars, badges nnd ether tnslgnln. A curious fnct In con nection with the golden fleece collnr, a superbly Jeweled nffnlr of high Intrinsic vnluo, Is that Spain only loans it to highly favored Individuals. For oxnmple, tho order bestowed upon President Fnurn of Franco a Bhort time before his death by tho queen of Spain Ind o bp returned. An fcoi'ti' obtained by few Indies outsldo of Portu,,r.l Is tho decoration of St. Isabollo, or the rnynl order of St. Izabel. Queen Alex endra nf EDgland Is n member of the order.

Tho ceremony of ontrnnco to the order Ii ns follows: The candidnto remains In nn nnto-chambnr to tho room whero nil tho members ara nssnmbled In rows on each sldo of tho queen, tho eldest Indy being nearest the queen on tho right hand. When tho new member Is conducted Into the room she makes throe courtesies nnd then kn'eela before tho queen, who places tho sash with tho Insignia across thn lady's shoulder, saying, "I receive you Into tho Order of St. Izabel and desire that you will always re member the respect you owe to tho order."
