CATTLE Thera were several oars of cau
tie reported this morning, but tney wero
all consigned ulrtct to local packers and as
a raau.1 a tst of tha market was not mada.
For that reason there is little to bo said
of the cattli sJtuailiin tn aduitlon to what
baa already been puullsned. It should bo
noted, however, tuat tne Chicago .market
baa closed 10c to lao lower Uiau tha blgk
point.
As compared with a weok ago. corn-fad
steers at this point can safely be quoted
3c to 4c hlgner, owing to the s-nall num
ber that have been on saie this week.
Packers all had to have a few and as a re
suit It was an easy matter for atlesmen
te force prices up at a rapid rate. Warmed
up cattle are now se.hng from 63.00 to 63.4,
fair to good from 4iw to H.5. and 'd
to choice from $4.50 to (6.10. The bulk of
Uji cattle coming forward, however, are
sl!rt fed and for that reason sales above
34.76 have lean very scarce.
The cow market waa active and stronger
most all the week. Rec Ipts were light
snd the demand good. The greatest Im
provement waa on the klnda selling around
33.50, or. In other words, the medium claxa.
The good kinds jIso Improved considerable,
snd even cannera are a little better-than
they were a we-k ago. Tha general market
could best be described by calling It 15c to
2Sc h'gner. Canners eell from 6L73 to
fc.!5, fair to good gr-tdos from 32.15 to 32 75.
and good to choice from 32 75 to U 25, with
something prime frtm that up.
Bulla sre about 10c to 16c hlgtier for the
week and veal calves are still seMng In the
same notches they have for some time pant.
Stuckers and feeders have been In light
uptily-1 I the week and the demand hag
teen sufficient to make the better grades
sell to a little better advantage. The Im
provement, however, haa been confined
largelv to yeartlna-s of good quality and to
good to choice cattle, weighing from Sue to
pound" Common rattle are no more
th-n sfadr for the week.
HOGS There was a email run of hogs on
ale this morning, and as the demand was
quite brisk the market advanced 66 Mc
Medtum weight hogs sold largely around
64 66. Heavies sold from 64.66 te 34 ). The
lighter hogs went largely from 34.50 to
4.65. while those weighing under JW pounds
sold all the way down to 64.26. It is very
evident that packers are not at all anxious
for these lightweights unless they can buy
them about a quarter under tne neavy
hog a. There was not much change tn the
market from atart to finish, and as re
ceipts were very limited an early clearance
was made.
For the week receipts show a decrease as
compared with last week, but a gain over
the corresponding week of last year.
Frlcee have Unproved steadily all the week
and there la a net gain of aiit Te over
laM week's -closing prices. This advance
carries nrlces to the high point of tha
month. Representative sales:

bHEEP Receipts of sheep have been
about nurma! tor Christmas week, but as
cumpared with last week there Is a big de
crease. Several care were reported this
morning, but they were sold to arrive, and
consequently a lest of the market was not
mad.
The market for the week la not mach
different from the close of last week. There
has been an active demar-.d for haaJy-
welght sheep and lambs, and aa aapplies cf
that kind have been rather limited the feel.
Ina on that cluas la a Utile better. The
markot could nut be quoted higher, bat at
tne aame time there ia more strength no
ticeable than there waa a week ago. Heavy
heep as well as lambs have not shown
any improvement snd can be quoted no
more than steady. The same la true of tha
part fat klnda
There have been very few feeders on sale
this wsek and prices have remained un

LEAD, 8. D.. Dec. 27. (Special.) Impor
tant Improvements are under way at the
Homestske mills. Improvements which will
when completed cost, the company many
hundreds of thousand of dollars.
Or.e hjpdred stamps are being added
to the Amicus mill of the company, and
thla Is being done without Interfering with
the werk of that plant. All the prelimi
nary work for the Installation of the new
machinery has been completed, and part
of It Is now In place. The new engine has
been put In and the transfer of the service
from the old engine will be made without
losing a minute's time. When the work of
enlarging the plant has been completed the
Amicus mill will contain 240 stamps, each
having a crushing capacity of something
over four tons of ore a day, and will be
the largest stamp mill In the world.
Another Improvement which, the company
haa under way la the enlargement of Its
No. 1 cyanide plant an Gold Run, which
now treats 1.200 tons of tailings dally. This
plant will be doubled In capacity and work
upon the addition is being rushed. To do
this new work at the cyanide plant It will
be necessary to move the roadbed and
tracks of the Burlington electric railroad
forty feet In order to give the plant room
to expand. Four thousand cubic feet of
rock and earth must be removed, the
waters of the creek roust be confined to a
new channel and when the Improvements
have been made this plant win then have
a daily capacity of 3,000 tons.
Ita Baslaess a Blsi Oae.
In addition to its stamp mills. In which
an aggregate of SCI are now dropping, the
Homestake company Is treating consider
able sillclous ore In both of Its cyanide
plants where the tal lngs are retreated. At
the cyanide plant In Gayvllle the company
has a battery of five stamps In operation
crushing refractory or sillclous ores pre
paratory to cyanldlng. At cyanide plant
No. 1 there la one large stamp tn opera
tion treating similar ores. Considerable
sillclous ore, similar to that found along
Dead wood 'and Poor man gulches, overlies
a great deal of the Homestake company's
ground and the best of this Is being mined
and treated at the cyanide plants.
These Improvements now under way will
greatly Increase the producing capacity of
the mines and result in a higher percent
age of gold being saved from the treatment
of the ores.
CUSTER CITT, 8. D., Dec 27. (Special.)
Work on the Minnie May mill Is progress
ing rapidly and It will soon be ready for the
reception and treatment of ore. As the
greater part of the values In tha ore from
the mine -are free milling, stamping and
amalgamation, supplemented by concen
tration, will be tha process employed In
the treatment of the material from the
workings. It la said that an excellent tody
of ore haa been opened up In the mine and
that no difficulty will be experienced in
keeping the ten-stamp mill now tn course
of construction supplied with a high grade
material.
Finds -Qood-Loaklatl Vein.
Fred Heldeprelra has Just finished tha
annual assessment work on his group of
claims southeast of Custer City. During
the course of the work, which consisted of
enlarging- some of the old workings, an
other vein of ore was discovered by the
miners employed on the ground. The new
rein Is said to carry high gold values, la a
true vertical and about three feet wide.
Aa yet no assays have been made of tha
vein matter, but It la good looking stuff
and from testa made by the process usu
ally adopted by prospectors gives unusu
ally satisfactory results. The quarts Is
well covered with specks of telluride and
stains of vanadium. It rs the Intention of
the owner to further develop tha new find.
Stamps will soon bo dropping In the Bun-
beam mine on rich ore, and It la believed
that when the mill gets In action It will
be for a continuous run. For several
months the company has kept a force of
from fifty to sixty men employed In the
mine In getting out timber and cutting
cordwood. and is sow prepared In every
way to begin milling. It Is said that the
plant, a twenty-stamp mill, la on of the
most complete In the country, supplied
with every modern appliance for saving
gold, and In charge of one of the most
competent mill men In the west, Superin
tendent James Graham. During the time
the mill haa been building, development of
the ground haa continued, and It haa been
opened up by a a ha ft 46 feet deep, from
which at different levels drifts have been
driven along the course of the vein. On
the 300-foot level the vein haa been cut by
numerous cross drifts, and It has been
demonstrated that the ore body la an ex-
tensive one. and that It carries high values
In many places, but It is. taking an aver
age, richer than the usual free milling
peoporltlons of the H'lls. The ore is for
the greater part free milling, but. like the
ore further south In the district, carries
tellurium, bismuth and arsenic, but the
free-miring values are sufficient to guaran
tee tt a paying propoaltlcn. even though
that process Is alone employed In Its treat
tnent. No arrangements have been mad
for the re-treatment of the tailings, but It
la thought that they will he Impounded,
and if the management Is satisfied that it
will pay, they win be worked over. Plenty
of water to run the twenty stamps of the
mill is assured, for there la water enough
coming Into the shaft at the present time
to keep a much l-rgr plant than the one on
the Sunbeam supplied. Although the inflow
of water Into the workings is very heavy.
there Is at the shaft a pumping plant of
sufficient capacity to keep them clear with
out much trouble.
Reifera Reeasaea,
HILL CITT. 8. D.. Dec. 17 (Special.)
Superintendent Crof of the Redfem Min
ing company haa again resumed operations
on the company's ground with a small
force of men, and is now sinking a new
shaft, wblch will be continued dowa for
a depth ut at least 200 feet before erosa
cuttlr.g win be started.
Drifting from the 460-foot level of the
Golden Slipper continues, the workings
running to the north. On that level the
ore shoot waa much richer tha a usual, but
waa shorter than where encountered nearer
the surface, and was easily worked out.
When this shoot was worked out. drifting
on the gouge was continued, and tt now
begins to show values, so another shoot
la expected to be run Into very soon.
Recent work on tha Lena mine has
opened up a large body of free-milling ore,
which should pay handsomely when the
(nine baa been thoroughly opened up and
a stamp mill erected on tt. for tt Is easily
mined and can bo taken from the mine
at a small expense. Borne years ago ten
tons of almost specimen ore was taken
from Lena ground, aad since that time
the work dona upon the property baa been
with the end in view of again opening up
the. rich streak and it has not been until
recently the t attention baa been given to
tha largo depcaLt of free-miUrng ore con
tamed to tbo mine. This ore. while It
4Voea swK caury fancy values. Is of such
character that Its mining and treat
ment should1 result in gnod profit to the
company that wfll engaga to treat it opon
a large scale.
New development work will be Inaugur
ated on the Sunflower property within a
few days. This mine has already been de
veloped by a shaft 200 feet deep, from the
bottom of which a drift has teen run
along the course of the vein. A new tun
neU will be started from the font of the
mountain and run In until It taps the
vein at a much greater depth than present
worklnrs give.
MAITLAND. 8. D.. Dec. 27. (Special
QaMen City and the carbonate districts
hare been very busy this winter and a
great deal cf work has been under way
there. The Penobscot company has been
working a large force of men In Its mines
and mill ever since It started treating
ore. and Its bullion shipments every two
weeks will average about 614.000.
Work on the ground of the Goldwtake
Mining company Is progressing satisfac
torily and the tunnel, which has now been
driven Into the hill for a distance of 150
feet. Is In ore which shows a high per
centage of pyrites, which Is regarded as
a favorable indication.
Work on the Echo Mining company's
ground has recently disclosed the presence
of another vein of ore. assays from which
are said to give average returns of 121
a ton gold. It Is the Intention to con
tinue the present work of development
during the winter months and In the
spring add to the force now engaged on It.
Another company which Is spending con
siderable money In the work of opening
up Its ground tn the vicinity of Maitland
Is the Magnolia. This company has a
splendid prospect snd will keep a force cf
men engaged on Its ground during the
winter mortha.
It Is reported that' the Bel tram Mining
company, recently organized on ground
adjoining the Columbus company on the
north and runnfng toward the Penobscot. Is
negotiating for the purchase of the Gold
Eagle company's holdings, which adjilnthe
Penobscot on the west. The Gold Eagle
company wis oraranlsed last summer by
local reopl" snd Nel raska capl'al. Work on
this ground haa been under way for eevernl
months and It haa made an excellent

Re mora Ahoat Horaeahoe.
LEAD, 3. D., Deo. 27 (Special.) There
are again rumors of a disturbed condition
of the affairs of the Horseshoe Mining
company. It is reported that the Decem
ber pay checks for the employes were tor
only part of the wages coming, owing to
a lack of funds. It la difficult to tell what
the result will be, but there la talk among
soma of the employes of filing liens upon
the mill, bullion and ore. This, it Is said,
fully insures the workmen against loss.
The MerraU stamp mill for the Ruby
Gold Mining and Milling company has ar
rived at Engl e wood, is being transferred
there on the Galena branch of the Burling
ton and Is to be delivered at Gilt Edge
riding in Strawberry gulch. From there it
will be hauled by Thomas Carse to the
new plant that the Ruby company is build
ing In Ruby gulch. Most of the machinery
and other material for the new plant has
now arrived and Mr. Coniett, general man
ager of the company, expects to have the
mill In commission early during the new
year. The foundations for the heavy pieces
have all been laid, the Fairbanks-Morse
gasoline engine Is In position, the battery
blocks are up for the stamps and when the
stamps arrive it will only be necessary for
connections to be made.
The Men-all stamps are something new
for the Black HI lie, although In quite gen.
era! use In California and throughout the
southwest. They are not different from the
ordinary stamp except that Instead of five,
three constitute a battery, and each stamp
works In its own compartment. A quad
ruple discharge Is obtained, there being a
discharge for each of the four sides. Each
stamp Is fed by Itself from Its separate
hopper and in this way the efficiency is
greatly increased. With the ordlnsry
stamps It Is quite frequent that some of
the battery are not doing their full duty,
owing to the inequality of the feed. The
Men-all stamp possesses other advantages,
among them being the ease with which a
cleanup may be" effected, it being unneces
sary to hang up mors than one stamp at
a time. With the ordinary stamps It be
comes necessary to hang up at least a
battery at a time and usually a section.
Crash Seven Ton n Day.
Where theae stamps are In use It Is found
by proper feeding that they will perform a
duty of seven tons per day with ease. This
Is more than the ordinary stamp will do.
Each of the MerraU stamps weighs L000
pounds, is provided with tha short drop
and drops at the rate of 110 per minute.
The general arrangement aside from the
Isolation of each stamp is similar to that
of all stamps. The stamps are arranged
with the ordinary cama, the ahaft shoul
dering are the same and the die la the
same. Owing to the directness of the feed
as long as there is ore in the hopper
ths stamp Is bound to perform Its duty.
There Is no place for the ore to fall except
on the die directly under th stamp. This
explains the Increased efficiency.
Mr. Gonxett expects to be able to treat
forty tons per day with the six stamps to
be installed. The MerraU stamp was de
signed originally to be used back of the
Chill mill. Mr. Conxett expects untl
roately to adopt this system In his plant.
For the present he will crush about forty
mesh fineness. Upon putting In the Chill
mill the screens on the battery will be
changed to about one-eighth Inch and In
this way It will ba possible for each stamp
to perform a duty of twelve tons per day,
From the stamps the ore will then be de
livered to the Chill mills and a system
will be obtained by which the capacity of
the plant may be greatly Increased at
small cost. This arrangement Is In effect
at many plants In California and other
points of the southwest. It Is found to be
the moat satisfactory where the Chill mill
is In use. as the Chill mill is not Intended
to receive coarse ore. In fact, when the
Chill mill receives coarse ore the effect of
the grinders jumping over large fragment
la to produce an unevenness In the dies
and In a short time they have to be re
placed. This dlffi -ulty Is -entirely avoided
by submitting th ore to a primary pulver
ising, either with Cornish mllll or with
the Verrall stamps, and the MerraU
stamps are found to be the more satisfac
tory. It has been proven that the slimes
are minimized by using the MerraU
stamps and the Chili pulverizers In con
junction In this manner.
