F. B , Goddnrd. an old Biiloman , Is the
author of n recently issued neat little
* Volumoon * 'Tho ' art of selling , with
hints on good buying. " Ho also touches
upon the subject of modern changes In
1 \siiiCBs \ conditions nnd methods ; sales
men's compotiBatlon , opportunities and
prospects ; commercial travelers ; retail
merchants nnd salesmen ; saleswomen ,
and how to road character. The latter
toplo Is especially Interesting ns treated
by Mr. pddard. Cowpor says :
"I nm persuaded that faces are ns Icg-
Iblo as books , though mon school their
faces to'j/conconl / their emotions and
transform them Into musks to hide
rather than express their feelings. Observe -
serve the forehead to know what
a mnn may become according to his
nnturo , nnd the closed mouth
to learn what ho actually is. The cyos
arc said to symbolize the feelings rather
than intelligence or the will , Bcwnro
of small , weak , ill-defined eyes , with
leaden-colored complexion and a rough
skin. Among other good things the
author declares that ' 'thero are a few
persons whoso ability to sell things is
so superior nnd remarkable Unit it may
properly bo called genius. Llko pools ,
they are born , not made , and they are
above rtilo or a law unto , themselves.
There is bomothinir about their por-
BC'yility which 'catches on , ' and they
can instantly adapt themselves to all
Boris of people. "

The objection against making leat
pencils out of paper instead of wood has
been overcome. One of the diflicultios
has been the toughness of the paper
covering nnd its consequent resistance
to the action of a itnifo. By a now pro
cess the molecular cohesion of the paper
is mollified in such a manner that it can
bo cut as easily ns cedar wood.

Capital In tlio Hills.
Amos J. CunimiiiRs in tbo course of nn ox-
.cnclcd nrtlclo la the Now York Sun on the
discovery and development of tin In the
Ulnck Hills says :
In 1634 , Mr. James Wilson , a well known
business man of Now York city , was fljur-
ng with Hcrmnn Knubcl on buying n pro
cess for canning meats. Knubol ono night
ran ncroszKobnrtFloormnnn , of Hnpul Oily.
Floormnnn exhibited Bomo grcenjstnmcd roclt
carrying tin , which hosnid came from Iccn-
, tons ho owned in Hartley's Pcalc , Knubol
) ' : came interested bocnuso ho saw that tin
could bo inado available in canning meats.
Ho told Wilson what ho had soon , and or-
rnneoil for a mooting botwcon Floornmun
nnd Wilson at the Hoffman house. Wilson
was so impressed with what ho saw nnd
icnrd that ho had the ere assayed nnd
nnalyrcd. After several interviews ho
jondcd the location and ngrocd to pay
$2.500 for the privilege of dovcloptnout.
Upon the bond hoorganlzcd the American
Tin Mining company ot Now York. Wilson
was to take charge ot the locations , nnd
nako nn invcsugatiou. If it proved favor
able ho was to develop the ralnos. For his
scrvlco ho was to receive n largo block ot
stock , with the option of u second block.
During the negotiations Wilson was Intro
duced to a Mr. Roiuloll , an Englishman , nnd
a friend of Floormnnn , Ho was suspicious
that everything was not right , nnd ques
tioned Hondoll concerning it. Ho finally secured -
cured Hendoll's confidence. The English
man admitted that Floormann'a obloct waste
to got Wilson out to the Hills In the dead
of winter , when there was snow on the
ground , show up n little ere , and so- ,
euro the purchasing money. Thus foro-
warneil and forearmed , Wilson sent I'rof.
Gilbert E. Ualley , lawyer Huitiinoro , it Mr.
Hepburn , and Ucndcll to the Hills. Bailey
hud been the territorial geologist of Wyom
ing. Hushmoro was to look nftcr the titles
to the property , ami Hcpuurn and Hcndcll
were to go upon the skirmish line iu the in
terests of the company. They remained nt
tlio font of Hunioy's 1'caic several wccits In
the srow , and astonished Wilsrm by report
ing that they could Una neither tin nor the
traces of tin in the Floormann locations.
Tli ay were in the grunlto core of the Hills ,
and were utterly barren.
Meantime , however , Floormann had
received the S2r > 00. Of course , that was
all ho got. Jacob Canz , ono of the
p.irtners , heard of it , and demanded
his sliaro of tlio spoils. Floormnnn refused
'
to settle , and' Ganz brought suit.
As u basis for the suit ho exhibited letters
from Floormann winch exposed the whole
scfiouio. They Indicated that , the ere ex
hibited in Now York came from the Etta
mino. Indeed , in ono of the letters Ganz was
asked ' 'to scnu on more ; of the green ore. as
it took tuo best. " The suit was afterward
compromised , but the letters are still In ex
istence , anil the $3,000 has gene where the
woodbiuo twincth.
While the exposure of tlusschemogavo the
tin discovery a black eye , it inured to the
benefit of Major Simmons , who was in
terested in the Etta mine. One day Rushmore -
more and Hepburn were knocking around
the Hills , nnd ran against Madill mid Mc
Donald , two of the locators of the Etta mica
mine. Tney told the Now Yorkers of their
tin discovery , nnd invited thorn to visit the
Etta. Bailey joined them , and they were
conlldcnt that they had really found tin fit
last. Hepburn tolegrapticd the intonnation
to Wilson , who Instructed him to bond the
mine , prior to further investigations. The
mine was bonded on April 15 , 1834. It
showed up so rich that on July 14 ,
J. W. Fowler , the company's lawyer in
HnDiil City , received u letter from Judge
William Fiillerton , of Now York , instructing
him to examine the titles preparatory to tlio
payment of tlio mirchasouionoy. Fowler did
so , und on July LO title was passed. The
mine was sold for $1 ,000 , and Simmons was
tnado Happy.
Wilson , in the meantime , had learned the
sources of the world's supply of tin , had
compared them with the demand for the
metal , and foresaw a collossal fortune in the
development of such mines in the United
States. In September , 1SS4 , Prof. Ulako
succeeded Prof. Bailey as the superintend
ent of the Etta mino. The latter rctiroa
temporarily. Blake's report confirmed all
that had been said concerning the richness
of the mino.
All this time things had been booming in
the Hills. The prospectors were active.
Locations were made hero and there in the
slate formation. Some developed the tin
oxide and others didn't , but everything
looked lovely. Simmons had already dis
covered that tin crystals were scattered
through tlio rouk of the Etta miuo lilto
grains of powder. He , with others , began
to look for similar rock elsewhere. Many
lodes were found. The richest discoveries
were near Hill City , ton miles nortUivost of
the Etta. Those llmls led the miners to believe -
liovo that Hill City was about the center of
the tu ! district. Subsequent developments
proved this correct. The lodes lay In groups
within a belt surrounding Haruoy's Peak ,
like satellites around distant planets. The
bolt is slalo. It lies between grnnito nnd
limestone. The granite Impinges the inner
circle , nnd the limestone the outer ono. The
lodes near the granite scorn stronger than
those near the limestone.
Wilson's agents picked up the richest of
thorn as last as they wro discovered. On
Prof. Blake's report they bought the Gertie ,
Mohawk , Bob Ingersoll , the Coates , the
Cowboy , and other groups , aggregating
scores of veins. Many are now turning out
dumps of valuable ore. Simmons was inter
ested in n few of the lodes , and reaped n fair
reward for his faith In the mines whoa the
prospects were not so bright. The agents of
the company built a mill near the Etta mine
for the crushing and concentration of the
oro. lAke most sueh ventured it fulled to
perform sueh work satisfactorily , Sorao
of the concentrators were lost in the tailings ,
Hereafter the concentration will be done by
jigs , as in foreign mines. They have been
tried In the school of mines at Rapid City ,
and they will doubtless provo satisfactory ,
So certain is this regarded that all the efforts
of the company havu boon directed toward
securing possession of rich loclus as fast as
they arc discovered. .
Wilson himself uovor came to the Hills
until the summer of 18SO. Ho then visited
i If/
every now outcropping nml bought nearly
everything In sight. Ills Yiitth In the future
was strengthened by whnt ho saw. After
bonding many groups tyo.lplt the Hills on the
first sleeping car that reached Rapid City ,
fortune nad favored him ilhco his first pur
chase. A. railroad had boon built to the Hills ,
much to the advantage- the company.
That fall ho went to London , taking with-
him specimens of ere f fotri Various lodos. By
tlio middle of Oetohor , the attention of wall
known English capitalists was directed to
the Black Hills. Prof ; John Gilbert was
selected by John Taylor's Son * , noted
British dealers mines , to conio hero nnd
mnko an Investigation. Ho had previously
visited the Hills , and reported against tin
mines said to hnvo boon found In the north.
At Wilson's IntUnco bo was scut to the
Southern Hills. Wilson nccompanlcd him.
Utlborb took back \vitli him many samples of
ore , which were afterward assayed at Corn
wall. The subatnnco of his report was con
tained In ft letter from John Taylor's Sons ,
dated May 0 , 1837. It declared trial many
portions of the lodes wore exceptionally
rich , nod that they could bo worked to good
ndvantaso. The tin obtained was of the
highest possible quality. Tim letter con
cludes :
" 1'ho lodes , ns nt present seen , nro of great
strength , with tin disseminated throughout ,
nnd there is every reason to think that largo
capital may bo employed In their develop
ment , with the prospects of very handsome
profits. The facilities for working nro great ,
the lodes nro numerous nnd strong , and the
produco.cau bo easily treated. "
Gllbort nnd Wilson returned to Europe
about Decembers , ISbfl. An English com
pany was organized to buy the mines nnd
capitalized for i'-J , 000,000. Of this capital
$1OJOXU ( was placed m bank for the devel
opment of tlio lodoft. About this tlmo n
London financial journal denounced the
project In unmeasured term * as n swindle.
It printed n letter from Dcadwood In sup
port of Its statement. The author was de
nounced by cable by prominent men nnd the
city nuthoritlesof Dnadwood , Uipid City and
other places. Wilson was chagrined , but
not dismayed. Ho asserted that ho had ro-
fusril to bo blackmailed , and that tlio attack
was the natural result. Ho returned the
(1.000,000 , and insisted tnnt the company
must make n strict examination of the mines
before purchasing them. Thereupon n com
mission , Including Prof. M. C. Vincent , John
Taylor , II. Seaton Carr , and Mr. Prlco , nf
Manchester , crossed tlio 000:1:1 : and visited
the lulls. Vincent is the author of a hun
dred treatises on geology and mines , The
commission remained hero over n month.
Vincent mndo his report on April 18 , 18S3.
Ittnoro than continued all that Gilbert had
said. Instead of forming nn independent
company , the English capitalists then bought
n large block of slock in the Now Yont
company , which owned most of the lodes In
sight. It is now known ns the Harnoy Peak
Tin Mining , Milling , nnd Manufacturing
company. The capital stock Is $15,000,000 ,
and $1,000,000 Is sot aside to develop tlio
property.
The company owns twenty-two group * , ng-
grcgatlnr nearly two hundred lodes , and a
score of plucors. Over three hundred nnd
fifty men are now nt work developing them.
In Juno $30,000 was paid cut , in .Inly $3V'W ' >
and in August & 23OtX ) . Hoarding houses ,
hoisting worlcs and sawmills nro being built
and steam drills are nv work in many a tun
nel. Hill City is springing up like magic. A
hundred carpenters are plying their saws
and hammers , and n dozen steam whistles
wako the welkin tioav Ilarnoy's peak. Nu
merous ilno mountain ranches huvo' been
bought. A railroad from each group of lodes
is being surveyed nnd a fcito for an immense
concentrating mill has been chosen. The
railroad will find an outlet from the hills nt
Rapid City. Its inhabitants have voted 140-
000 to aid in its construction. Tills is the
limit In Dakota.
The magnitude of Wilson's operations Is
shown in the bonding of groups not owned
by the Harnoy company. Last Juno ho se
cured an option of twenty-nine groups of
mine. * , iiiiKreKating TOO lodes and 4,707 acres
of land , including many line placers. The
tin crystals are found in the placnrs the
same as gold. These group. * include nearly
everything in sight that is worth anything.
It begins to look as though not only a tin
kingdom has been found , but that the king
is about to dcclaro himself.
