Private Smith Is Dismissed...
Private John Bmlth of the hospltul corps
of the aimy, stationed at Fort Mott, New
Jereey, who married a negress, ha been j
ulamlssed from the service, the recommen-
dutionu of his superior officer being en-
dorsed by the War department. Ingeniously
the color question has been avoided, the (
order of dismissal being made on the I
ground that Smith married a woman of bad .
character and that his conduct previous to I
and at the time of his marriage was preju- i
dlcial to tho service. When General Grant,
in command of the Department of the East,
reviewed the charges against Smith, as for- '
mulated by the surgeon In command at j
Fort Mott, Just previous to the election
and recommended the dismissal of Private
John Smith because of conduct prejudicial
to the service. It was thought that the :
democrats would make capital out of the
recommendation. Conveniently, however,
the subject of Smith' dismissal was pigeon- i
holed and the case not permitted to come j
to a head until now. The explanation made
at the War department avoid the question ,
of color, but stated that Smith had mar
ried a woman of bad character, whose pre
vious marriage had not been terminated by
the death of her husband or by any legal
form of separation. Continuing the report
say at "He Is thus living In adultery In
violation of the local law and In flagrant
disregard of the standards of morality
which prevail In civilized communities. The
law vests no Jurisdiction In the War de
partment over the domestic relation of
persons In the military service; but It Is It
duty to protect soldier who are serving
their enlistment contracts In good faith
from the act of Individual which are cal
culated to bring disgrace upon the uniform
and to lower the standards of conduct
which have habitually prevailed among the
enlisted men of the army."

MIXING IN THE BLACK HILLS
November a Bnij Month tad Work Provsi
Bgtiifaotory.
LITTLE NEW PROSPECTING IS DONE
Gross Ontpat of the Month Approxi
mates a Million Dollars, More
Than Half of Which Came
from the Homestead.
DEADWOOD, 8. D.. Dec. 4 .(Special. )
November was one of the busiest month
of the year among the mines of the
Black Hill, and the result of the work
dono has proved more than satisfactory.
Very many new mines have bfen opened
up and preparations for the erection of
reduction plants on others have been
made. During the month the grois out
put, measured by dollar, was close to
$1,000,001). of this amount the Homeatake
producing IMO.000, the Horseshoe t6i.0T,0;
Golden Reward, 147,000; Imperial, $3u,(00;
Spearflsh, $a0,000; Dakota, $1S,U'0 while at
least twenty other producing mines have
contributed to the amount In sums rang
ing from $15,000 to $5,000. There Is in
course of construction plants and an In
crease In old mills which will raise the
amount of oie treated monthly 46.000 tons;
this Increase In tonnage, figured at an
average value of $5 per ton, will raise
the monthly output at least $30,000.
It I nuld that preparations are being
made by the Columbus Couo:ldated, lo
cated at Central City, to begin extensive
development work In addition to that al
ready performed on the property. Arming
the Improvements contemplated will be the
Inking of everal deep shafts near the
center of the company's ground. The
shafta will be sunk to at least 1,20 feet,
and connections made between them at
the 1,000-foot level. The company has also
plan for the erection of a large reduc
tion plant to be located on Its ground.
Since the reorganization of the company
all of its indebtednevs has been cleared
away and. It Is said, there Is money
enough In the treasury to carry out all
of Its schemes of Improvement. The Col
umbus, even at the present time, Is a
well developed property and In the shafts
and different openings shows a vast
amount of low grade ore.
Dakota Company Finding; Ore.
Work of sinking to quartaite by the Da
kota company, on Its ground at Portland,
In the Bald mountain district, Is pro
gressing rapidly, and It Is said that In
going down several shoots of good ore have
been passed through, so It Is expected that
when the lower quartette level Is reached
that high grade material will be struck.
At the present time the company Is ship
ping to Its plant In Deadwood 120 tons of
ore dally, and for some months Its cleanups
have averaged $16,000. The shaft being
unk by the Dakota Is the first attempt
that ha been made In this camp to reach
the quartzlte, and the result of explora
tions on that formation will be watched
with more than passing interest by othur
companies operating In that vicinity, and
should they turn out as is expected it will
be an incentive for others to undertake a
similar work.
Mjoh of the new plant for the Goldstake
Mining compuny, the ground of which Is
located near Maltland, in the Garden City
district, has been placed In position, and
so soon as the power drill arrives the work
of driving a tunnel from the west side line
of the Maltland property will ' be com
menced. This tunnel Is now In 500 feet, and
will be continued until a distance of 1,800
feet from Its portal has been reached. In
Its course the tunnel will prospect several
strong free-milling veins which show on
the surface. This is one of the youngest
companies In the Garden City district, but
by Its work it Is showing that It means
to make all the work which It Is doing
count.
Drifting; on the Globe.
Drifting Is under way in a northerly and
westerly direction on the plobe property,
a short, distance southwest of Lead. The
drifts are being driven from the 500-foot
level, the northerly drift following a vein
of ore which measures thirty -une feet from
wall to wall. This vein wa cut by the
west crosscut at a distance of 300 feet from
the shaft and Is said to average $14 a ton.
Several other smaller veins have been
cut on the same aide of the shaft, which
will. It Is said, average ber than $5 a
ton. From one of the smaller veins, six
Inches wide, ore which ran as high aa $300
a ton has beer, taken. These veins are In
the slates, quite easily worked, are largely
BUlphlde and well defined. Part of the
fund for building a mill haa been raised,
and the officers of the company are direct
ing their energies toward the completion
of this fund before anything further Is done
upon the mill.
It looks as though the Golden Crest com
pany would shortly resume operations,
after a shut-down of several months. Large
quantities of coal are being delivered at the
mill on Strawberry gulch, and prepara
tions being made to place a large force of
miners at work. While the little plant on
this property wa In operation lust sum
mer It more than paid expenses, but owing
to an inability to secure sufficient water,
the plant was forced to shut down. From
this ground some of the richest ore shipped
from the Bare Butte district has been
taken, and there has been uncovered In II
laree shoots of ore which will average
better than $12 gold a ton. With the re
sumption of operation It Is expected that
the Golden Crest will add at least $16,000
monthly to the gold output of the Black
Hill. It Is a close corporation, all of
the stock being held by Detroit people.
Raise Capacity of Plant.
Improvement lately made by the Im
perial Mining company at It plant In Dead
wood will raise Its capacity to 4,000 tons
monthly. A new crusher has been in
troduced In the secondary grinding comple
ment, and the set or rolls that has been
used In the past for Intermediate grinding
has been given a place with the finishing
rolls, making three sets of roll now In
use for fine crushing. By the change the
company I 'effecting considerable saving In
the operation of Its plant by lessening the
expense connected with repairs to the
rolls. Operations at the mine of the com
pany have been very satisfactory, the new
McGovern ground recently purchased by
it proving to be all that prospecting
showed. The average of the ore being
mined ha sllgtly Increased In values,
while the amount In sight la sufficient to
keep the plant at It Increased capacity
running for a great many years to come.

one of the most solid and conservative
opemtlng on ground.
There will be a meeting of the Jupiter
Gold Mining and Milling company at Dead
wood next month for the purpose of devis
ing ways and means to operate the mine
and mill, and It is believed that It will
result In both again Martlng up. This com
pany, the ground of which In located on
Blacktall, a few miles above Deadwood.
has a well equipped and modern K6-ton
cyanide plant on Blacktall gulch, a well
developed mine. In which an Immense
amount of ore which fill averare better
than $4 has been blocked out. Early last
year the mill was completed, but after run
ning a month It closed down. It Is said
that the cleanup made from the run were
satisfactory and showed that the plant
could be operated at a handsome profit.
Internal dissensions, however, arose, and
the operations were suspended. It Is now
said that matters have been straightened
out and that the company will again op
erate Its property, which la located In one
of the best producing districts of the Black
Hills. '
Additional facilities are being Introduced
In the mill of the Puritan Mining com
pany, located at the head of Big Straw
berry. The purpo.e of the addition to
the mill 1 for the saving of that portion
of the values of the ores which has ben
escaping over the concentrators. Pending
the Introduction of the new machinery
operations at the mill have been suspended.
The ore Is known to contain some gold,
o distributed that concentration will not
save It all, so It has been decided to add
cyanide tanks to the equipment of the mill
and subject the tailings to cyanide treat
ment. Open I January Flret.
Orders are looked for from the main
ufllce cf the IMuma Mold Mining company to
begin work on January 1 In both mine and
mill. Work In the mine will consist of fur
ther croHscuttlng on the 3o0-foot level,
while the mill Is to be enlarged from forty
to eighty stands and receive the addition
of cyanide tanks. Abundant funds are said
to be In the treasury for the purpose. The
Pluma property consists of from ninety to
100 acres, situated on the northerly edge
of the townsite of Lead, and has received
extensive development. Besides a shaft 600
feet deep there have been several hundred
feet of crosscuts run from the 3u0-foot level,
and much surface work performed. It Is
equipped with a good steam hoist, air com
pressor, power drills and an electric light
plant, with a mine shop In connection.
Now that the Safe Investment company
has secured title to adjoining property,
which gives It full control for two mile
along Box Elder creek, It I said that a
new system of development will be In
augurated by the company, which will far
excel anything heretofore undertaken by
it. Contracts will be let for a shaft
feet deep, and on each 100-foot level cross
cut of the 300-foot vein which is bemg de
veloped will be run.
Surveyors have lately been engaged on
the Victoria ground running levels for
tramways from various parts of the ground
to the sit of the proposed mill. It Is said
that the company Is about to let a contract
for a large cynnlde mill, to be constructed
on Squaw creek. Surveyors, besides run
ning levels for the tramways, have also
laid out the mill site, and early In the year
work will be begun upon construction of
the plant. On the Victoria Is probably the
largest showing of ore to be found In any j
of the developed mines of the Ragged Top
district, ore which will average higher
than thnt now being successfully treated.
This company, has never advertised any of
Its stock for. sale, Its members being so
well satisfied with the outlook that they
have advanced all the money needed to de
velop It. and have also provided the fund
which will bo necessary to build the mill.
Iloreahoe Mill la Busy.
Of the 120 stamps with which the Horso
shoe mill Is equipped ninety are now drop
ping and it Is' anld that by the first of the
year all of them will be falling on ore.
This Will Increase the bullion output of the
company very materially. Since the man
agement of the mine has been under the
direction of the preoent uperlnt'ndml' con.
dltlons, both flnanc'ally and operative, have
materially Improved, and today the com
pany is about free from debt. Great Im
provements have been made In mine and
mill and the company is now looked upon
as one of the best In the Black Hills. With
Its mill In full operation the Horseshoe
will produce from $60,000 to $S0,000 worth of
bullion a month. It has a very large
acreage of ground and some of the mine
Included within It holding have been pro
lific producer of good grade ore for years
and tire still contributing to the ore out
put. Recent developments on some of it
properties have disclosed Immense shoots
of ore and several strong verticals, all of
them carrying excellent values.
Within a few days the new 100-ton mill
on the Golden West company' property,
near Rochford. will be started up. During
the last two years thl mine has received
a great deal of development and can now
supply a plant of much larger capacity
with little effort. Before the company da
elded to erect Its present plant there had
been built a small mill on the property
and every portion of the ore body thor
oughly prospected, ao tho company, before
going to the expense of putting up a larger
one, knew exactly what to expect cf It ore.

EXCITING TIME WITH ROBBERS

SL'TTON. Neb., Dec. 4. (Special.) Button
experienced the excitement resulting from
It first holdup last evening about 6 o'clock.
Carl gplelman, a druggist, walked Into bis
home aa usual for supper. HI wife had
Just stepped across the street, leaving the
door unlocked, with no one In the house
hut the baby, and -no light In the house but
the baaeburner. The robber wa piling up
his booty In the middle of the floor. It
consisted of silk dresses and other valuable
clothing.
Sptelman grabbed the robber and In the
scuffle the robber pulled his revolver and
shot at Splelman, Just missing his head.
but blinding him with smoke. Bpielmah,
being unarmed, had to let go. The thief
was Joined by two others and they were
followed by a posse consisting of Sheriff
Smith, Leonard Roberts, Joe Longstrcth
and others In a northerly direction.
The robber held up Ou Newman, a far
mer, and secured 15 cent.
They had entered the chool house in No,
1 district and had laid down for a night'
sleep, when Len Robert Jumped In on
them with a gun and made them "throw
up" their hands. They were ecured after

night, having been put in for tramps. They
are a bad looking set. one being a cripple.

Railroad Taxes Increnae.
VALENTINE, Nob., Dec. 4.-(Speclal.)
The Chicago & Northwestern railway paid
Into the treasury of this county this week
its check for $24,862.93 and In addition
turned In $55 in road receipts. This I an
increase of $10,061.99 over Its payment of
taxes In Cherry county for last year. Thl
Is due directly to the new revenue law,
about which so much energy was wasted
during the recent campaign. While the
taxes of the railway were Increased that of
private Individuals of the county were de
creased and comes from the fact that all
persons and corporations were placed on
the same level as to valuation. That Is
since the organization of the county the a'
sensors have been In the habit of ascer
taining the true value of property, real
and personal, then placing the value for
ametsment at one-third of the true value.
The one-third valuation was In marked
contrast to the one-twentieth to one-thlr
tleth which was the basis In the eastern
part of the state. In which the railroads at
least In a measure shared. Raising the
railroads' valuation, In keeping with prop
erty valuations In the older counties nf the
state, and dividing our actual valuation by
five Instead of three, works a distinct ad
vantage to the newer counties of the west
ern part of the state and In the matter of
taxation place us on a more equitable
basis than ever heretofore. We will there
fore certainly "stand for" and with the
new law.
Jack the Huararer Still at I.Arare
PLATTSMOL'TH. Neb., Dec. 4. (Special.)
There still aeema to be quite a number
of young men in Plattsmouth who might
be classed with "Jack the Hugger," who
waa arrested and In police court lined the
small sum of $1 and costs for the pleasure
of embracing a charming young damjel on
the street without her consent and much
to her Indignation.
One evening recently while Mis Mary
Jandu wa returning to her home In the
western portion of this city she was badly
frightened by finding herself In the arm
of an entire stranger. She finally succeeded
In releasing herself from the grasp of the
young man, and, stopping at a nearby resi
dence, waa accompanied home by C. C.
Wescott. A few evenings later while the
wife of John Waterman, a dealer In lumber
and coal, wo returning to her home she
wa very much surprised and very Indig
nant to find herself clasped In the em
brace of an unknown young man. Her
words soon convinced the stranger that he
had better get out of that neighborhood,
and that right quick,. If he did not desire
to be put behind the bar of tho Cas
county Jail.
