MINING IN THE BLACK HILLS
Judge Kimball 8e)li tb Tigerrille to
fittsburg Parties
WAS . ONCE '. A RICH DISTRICT
DiTDfn of Wyoming Claims Are Sow
LotkiM IP Titles to ProD
ertles Which Tbey Hd
V Abandoned.
KEYSTONE, B. I).. Aug. 2.-(Speclal.)-Plttsburg
(Pa ) people have purchased what
known as the Kimball property tn the
Tlgervllle, and the chances are that the
district will again come to the front as a
mining center. About twenty years ago the
Tlgervllle district waa famous as a pro
ducer Of rich ores, the King Solomon mine,
especially,- being one of the show mines
of the southern Hills. It was very rich
near the surface and some of the specimens
taken from It were surpassing rich, liter
ally covered with free gold. Although by
the freemllllng process of stamping and
amalgamation most of the values In the ore
were raved, and the mine for a time paid
handsomely, when depth on the vein was
made the ore became more and more refrac
tory, and It was Impossible to make It pay
by the process employed In its treatment.
The rich and easily treated ore near the
urfaee was toon exhausted, and after try
ing In vain to make the mine pay on the
lower levels and sinking all of the money
made In the first operations in the en
deavor, work was suspended on the mine,
and gradually the district was deserted,
only one or two prospectors being left, and
these, with a faith that was sublime, stuck
to theli1 ground and year by year did the
as-tcssment work on It.
Kimball Stayed by It.
One ot those whose faith in the district
could not be shaken was Judge Kimball,
who during the years that have passed has
been actively engaged In prospecting, and
hns succeeded In getting title to a large
acreage of ground, every claim of which
has received more or lens development, and
on many good surface Indications of rich
ore are present. This property Judge Kim
ball has transferred to the Pittsburg com
pany, which will begin extensive develop
ment work upon it at once. Like all the
ore of the district, that exposed in the
workings made on the various veins Is free
milling near the surface, carrying free gold
specimens. These will be opened up by cuts
and tunnels, and where thought best shafts
will be sunk. When the ground has been
opened up and in condition to furnish a
steady ore supply a treatment plant will be
built, probably on Newton's Fork, one
which will be capable not only of handling
the freemllllng ores near the surface, but
those which have grown rebellious with
depth! Water and timber abound on the
property, and all the advantages for mining
an J milling are present. Parties who years
apjo owned and Worked ground in the dis
trict, since the consummation of Judge
Kimball's deal, are now busy looking up
title to the former possessions, which they
abandoned at the time the camp went down,
and there Is quite a little stir In the dis
trict. Judge Kimball received a good figure
for his property, but not more money than
It la worth, and not enough to recompense
him for the years of labor he has put In
on the ground. .
Successful runs have been made on ore
taken from the Yellow Bird and Benedict
group of claims on Castle creek in the
Hornblend district. The tests consisted of
running through a little -Chilian mill about
3.000 tons of ore from both groups,, and
were so. successful that the company op
eratlng.ou Xiem has concluded to erect a
stamp-mill of 100 tons dally capacity.
; ' fi Extreme Mill Goes I p.
CUSTER CITY, S. D., Aug. 2. (Special.)
Nearly all of the machinery for the ten
stamp mill to be erected for the Extreme
Mining .company on its London group of
claims near this city la on the ground and
ready. to be placed In position. Work is
still going on upon the mill building, and
It is expected to have it ready for the ma
chinery in a few weeks. In the mine drift
ing has been started, from the sixty-foot
level ot the main working shaft, running
toward the east. On this level the ore body
.is an extensive one and carries good values.
It is possible that mining and milling op
erations will shortly be resumed on the
North Star. Samples of the ore were some
time ago sent to Swansea, Wales, and there
tested in an effort to determine the proper
method of treatment. Returns from these
samples have been received and the result
will be made. public,' and then the'mlll will
be rearranged to accord to the treatment
suggested, from Swansea: --The North Star
Is a property containing a large ore body,
from which rich assays have been received,
but difficulty has bee,n: experienced in se
lecting the proper method of treating the
ore. '
Galea Entering; a Boom.
GALENA, 8. D., Aug. . (Speclal.)-From
present appearances It looks as though Ga
lena, was about to enter Into the prosper
ity which has for so long a time been
promised the camp. Since the transfer of
the Union 11111 property to the new com
pauy composed of Chicago and New York
men. work on the .different claims has been
progressing and the development has
proven very satisfactory. The old forty
stamp mill is being moved into the new
mill building and tanks ore being placed
In the old building having a capacity for
- Suo tons of pulp dully, and it la expected to
have the changes made- In a mo n't h or so,
The various workings are being prepared
for taking out ore, a branch of the Bur
llnjton narrow gauge railroad Is being run
to the Union 11111 mine and other remote
openings, and It looks as though a big
force of miners and other workmen will
find employment with the company before
the., winter begins. The work is being done
under the direction of James D. Hardin
a miner of experience In the district, and
one who la familiar with every foot of the
Union Hill company's holdings.
Golden Crest's Sarprlae.
Una ot the sensational finds of the season
Is that which was made a few days ago
on the propei ty of the Uolden Ciest com
pany.,; Ore which is going higher than ti(00
a ton has been found and It evidently Is not
a little pocket, for the shoot which has
been uncovered assays high for Its entire
width. It Is a porphyry ore and lies close
tn the surface, In fact the surface dirt Is
being run through the mill after It has been
screened In order to remove the roots and
grass. It Is a big shoot and Its richness
shows no sign of decreasing with the work
which has been put upon It. The richest
of the .ore Is being hand sorted and stored.
It is said to equal anything found in for
mer years In the famous Ullt Edge prop
erty! which lies close to It. Work on the
addition to the treatment has progressed
to such, an extent that within a few weeks
the company will be treating 100 tons of ore
dally. ' A large boarding house for the ac
commodation of the miners and other em
ployes of the company has been completed
and the Golden Crest is now well fixed for
the winter. , '
James ' Consett, superintendent of the
Ruby Oold Mining , company, has been
wording a force of men preparing for the
v coining .winter, snd has Just completed a
large boarding house at the mine. The
building which will hold the ISO-Ion cyanide
plant which the company will install at
Us mines bag been completed and Is await-i
Ing the arrival of the msehlnery, which
had been ordered several months ago. The
mines of the company are now In a high
state of development, a large force of min
ers having been working for more than a
year to accomplish this end. The ore of
the Ruby Is a freemllllng proposition, hut
the tailings from the stamps will be treated
by the rynaldo process, insuring a saving
of nil, or nearly all, the values contained
in the ore. The, Ruby company's ground Is
the best developed In this part of the Bare
Butte district, snd before the year has
passed will be In the bullion-producing list.
Horseshoe Mill Nearly Heady.
DEADWOOP, S. V., Aug. 2 (Speclal.)
Work on the BijO-ton mill of the Horseshoe
company at Terry is about finished and a
part of the mill will be started up by
August 10. The company Is now In better
shape than at any time in its history and
has more ore in sight and of as good grade
as it ever had, in fact It has a phenom
enal showing. Under its new management
the company Is working its mines for what
there Is In them. One-half of the stamps
in the new mill will begin dropping on or
about August 10, which will give it a ca
pacity of 260 tons a day, and the rest will
be In operation by the last of the month.
The Capital Oold Mining and Milling com
pany Is the name of a new mining concern
recently organized for business In the
Black Hills. It is composed of Black Hills
and Lincoln (Neb.) people. The company
will operate on a group of claims situated
on Dead wood creek, along the line of the
Northwestern road. In the group are sixty
acres of ground, known as the Freeman
and Lawrence property. There Is a good
showing of ore upon It, but It is In need
of development. The property, It Is said,
was purchased by John Harrop of Lincoln,
who Is acting for a number of gentlemen
of that city. Associated with Mr. Harrop
are C. H. Nelson and C. P. Ames of Dead-wood.
Hidden Fortune's Alterations.
i
Alterations In the Hidden Fortune mill
on Dead wood creek are going ahead nicely
and the company expects to have Its
stamps again dropping by the first of Sep
tember. In the meantime work in the com
pany's mines is going ahead and the ore
bodies are being opened up so that there
will be no difficulty In supplying the 300
tons a day necessary to keep the big plant
in operation.
Developments on the Columbus mine con
tinue to Improve that particular piece of
property, and the magnificent showing of
ore on the 200-foot level appears to be
growing better all of the time. Sinking In
the big three-compartment shaft continues
and It has now reached a depth of almost
400 feet. It will be sunk to the 600-foot
level, when stations will be established
and the vein explored at that depth. The
big Columbus vein which shows In the
workings on the 200-level has been opened
up on another claim north of the Columbus,
and where it is exposed is about 200 feet
wide and carries the same character of ore
as Is found in the lower workings of the
Columbus. It Is said that the company will
soon begin work on the foundations for Its
big 1.000-ton mill, which it proposes to build
on Whltewood creek below Deadwood.
THE POWER OP STEAM.
Many Hay See, bnt It Takes Genius to
Realise.
When James Watt saw the steam causing
the kettle lid to Jump up and down he said:
"There must be power In that steam that
It can lift such a weight."
There was.
Millions prior to him had seen the same
phenomenon and regarded It as an un
explained mystery,. . .
Recent scientific research - has put - Us
finger on the "cause" of Dandruff, Falling
Hair and consequent Baldness, and has un
earthed a tiny germ which eats the life
from the roots of human hair. .
Newbro's Herplclde destroys this germ
and consequently restores the hair to its
natural state.

Once Inside he was assaulted by both men
and $16 was taken from him. Fitzgerald
and O'Brien then ran to Jorgenson's saloon

Manchester Textile Market.
MANCHESTER. Aug. 2-The general
condition of the cloth market was not ma
terially changed during last week. Many
declare that they have never known the
tr;ide In - a worse state. Salesmen have
worked h:ird without results. A desultory
Inquiry continues with a slight Increase
loss In business where lower prices are
accepted. Business with India Is confined
to low qualities, of which considerable sales
have lately been effected. There were
some transactions with China at low fig
ures. Many manufacturers were compelled
to accept unremuneratlve prices by the
necessity of preserving the continuity of
their business relations. Yarns were very
disappointing, there being little Improve
ment In demand. The turnover was small,
not equalled to the curtailed production.
Foreign Klmaarlal.
LONDON, Aug. J. The stock market was
rather ilull this week. The features were
Wss numerous than expected. Liquidations,
however, have been heavy and persistent,
while the low prices to which securities
reacted fHlled to tempt Investors to any
considerable extent. The foreign market
Is the only one not sharing In the general
di-pri-s.ttnn. Russian, Japanese. Turkish.
Iiulg.irlan and Argentine securities all
showed advances. Bouth African securi
ties were again depressed on the unsatis
factory outlook of the labor question. The
position of the American market, which
mainly follows the movements of Vt all
street, la considered too uncertain to In
duce healthy speculation.

CATTLE There were no fresh receipts of
cattle this morning with which to make a
test of the market. For the week receipts
show very little change from last week.
but as compared witn tne corresponunig
week of last year there Is an J n crease ot
about 1,000 head.
The beef steer market has been in good
shape at this point all the week. On Mon
day, owing to big receipts at Chicago and
a break in prices at that point, the feeling
here was a little easier, but since that time
trading has been active, with the tendency
of prices upward. The loss of the early
part of the week has been fully regained
and good to choice cattle are If anything a
little higher. As nlgn as za.w nas Deen pain
this week, which Is the highest price for
some time past. Packers nave an Deen
anxious for supplies this week, so that each
day s ofTerlngB have been wen careo. tor.
The bulk of the fair to good cattle may be
aiioted from $4.60 to $5, with good to
choice selling from $5 to $5.85. The part fat
kinds sell largely irom to n.ow.
Tho cow market louowea very mucin me
same course as steers. The first of the
.oolr nrlrea eajted off a little on good stuff.
while the common kinds broke in bad shape.
This loss, however, has been practically re
gained, so that all kinds are selling In just
about the same notches they were at tho
close of last week. The claBS of cows sell
ing from $2 to $3 are not in very goon ae
niand and sell at very uneven prices, so
that some sales look much better than
others. Good corn-feds are still selling as
high as $4.26, with the better grades of
graasers and fair to good corn-feds going
largely from $3 to- $3...
ciruA ttniu are about Bteadv for the week.
but common kinds have been slow sale at
any price. Veal calves are a little lower.
The bulk of them sell from.$4 to $4.50, with
a choice one occasionally going as high aa
$6. A good many, though, sell as low us
WThe supply of stock cattle was light all
the week, but the demand was still smaller,
so that prices continued on their downward
course. Home oi tne wn Bmum ui yo
haps not more than 10&15c lower than a
week ago, but others are 15fi25o lower. A
good set of stock cattle can now be bought
at $3.60, with a good many selling from J
l0niiaTher was a small run of hogs
here this morning, but owing to unfavor-
kia nnrt from other uoinis the market
eased off a little here. The bulk of the hogs
sold Just about a nicaei lower man yester
day's average. Heavyweights went largely
at $4 95 and $4,974, with mixed loads at
$4 974 and $6.00 and lights from that to $6.06.
Trading waa slow from start, to finish and.
aithougn receipts were iib"1- miwihib
was well advanced before a clears nte was
made. The close of the market was, If any
thing, a little easier, though the change was
not great.
For the week receipts show a decrease as
compared with last week, but there Is not
much change as compared with the same
week of last year. Prices have been fluctu
ating back snd forth quite rapidly, but as
compared with the close of last week there
Is a net loss amounting to about 6(jloc.

day, so a test of values was not made. For
the week receipts show a decrease as com-
ft red with last week amounting to about
3 000 head. As compared with the corre
sponding week of last year the decrease
amounts to about 7.0u0.
Owlr.g to the moderste supply In sight
and the active demand on the part of local
packers an active and strong rnarViet has
been experienced on all desirable grades of
killers. The general market can safely be
quoted stronger snd frem what sales have
been made all the way to lfk; or even c
higher than the same kinds commanded
last week. Lambs, on the other hand, have
not moved as freely. Liberal receipts have
been received at otner points, wnicn ac

Borne salesmen are quoting lambs as much
as 1Mi26c lower for the week.
There has been a very brisk demand for
