lirlttih-Amcrlcan Copper Mining company of
Detroit filed papers last week giving n
mortgage on Its stock to tho amount of
$100,000 to tho Union Trust company of De
troit. This will pluco the company In a po-
Itlon to commence work on Its large cop

company has boen organized two year or
moro and has dono considerable work In

Delrolt has promoted the deal. Tho com
pany will now sink a deep hnft on n very
trong vein of copper ore which Is supposed
o be continued Into the adjoining propsrty
f the Black Hills Copper company on the
south, where nt a depth of 700 feet an Im
menso copper and gold preposition has been
ptned up. This latter company Is a Michi
gan concern also. It ha a sixty-foot vein
f copper pyrites, w,lth some free copper.
hlch runs better than 3 per cent and sev
eral dollars In gold. Thn British-American
company has built a largo camp, erected u
him .house and his a complete hoisting
plant. The Htack Hills Copper company ha
blazed tho way In that part of the HUM for
number of other good copper and gold
companies, which are about to operate on
the big belt. Copper outcrapplngs are to be
found for ten mtlc along the rldgo divid
ing the lime formation from tho hornblende

velopment work on Its two properties.

of graphite per month to Chicago. Tho ore
In the Rochford camp runs about 40 per

wide. It Is about six miles west of Roch
ford.
A rich Btrlkc of tin ore has been made
east of Custer by William Peterson. Tho
vein Is about eight feet wldo and Is con
tinuous for 800 foot. It Is said that tho ore
runs about 3 per cent tin. There Is unusual

are that the company will open up a

mence actual work on tin properties In the
Hills since tho Harney Peak tin boom. It
Is stated that negotiations aro being made
for the tin mill at Hill City, which will be
converted Into a modern plant for the con
centration of the tin ore In the Hill Cltv
district.

A test run of 100 tono of oro Is to be made

for a Mux, It Is found to be a difficult mat
ter to find an ore that 'will take the nlaco

mine, west of this city, Is being tried and
shipments will soon commence from tho
Montezuma mlno tn the same district, but
none of these raw ores are capable of taking

In the Galena district, the National
Smelting company has acquired about seventy-five
acres of additional ground near
tho Hulllon mlno, which Is to bo developed
Into a producing property, This company
Is looking for oro ln 'he different mlnlnr
camps of tho Hills for tho mammoth ii00-
ton smelter that M being erected nt Ranld
City. Owing to tho low price that will bo
fsked for treatment of the ore at this new
plant It will be an easy matter to get tho
necessary amount for tho dally run. This
now plant Is to bc In operutlon In three
months and It will add greatly to the out
put of' bullion from the Black Hills. Dr.
11. H. Muggley, general manager of the
company, of Boston, states that the works
will be able to handle Northern .Mills ores
for $0 por ton and tho freight rates will
be about U per ton. This Is considerably
cheaper than tho charges at the smelter In
this city. The National Smelting company
proposes to have tho most complete nnd
