handed down Its decision In the controversy
between the rival factions of the people's
party for the right to have their tickets
placed on the ballot under the party tiame
The decision Is In favor of the bolters ,
headed by A.V. . C Weeks. The board
hinds down a long opinion. It holds that
the regular convention was held In duo form
and that that party undoubtedly had thu
right to use the nartj name It It had chosen ,
Hut Instead It saw nt to fuse vvltlii the dem-i
ocracy , to adopt democratic principles , and
nominate the game ticket as the democrats
The middle-of-the-road clement was left as
the only exponent ot the pr'i clples of the
party The regulars by fusing vvlth the dem-
ociats had forfeited the right under the lav ?
which will be In effect at the tlmo of the
election to have their ticket placed on the
ballot ; hence they hail no use for the name.
The bolters are , therefore , decided to be
entitled to use It
The attornejs for the fusion state com
mittee will at once begin a certlorarl pro
ceedings before the supreme court to deter
mine the rlBhtfiilnets of this decision The
oatter will bo reviewed by the court In the

From the lilack Hills Mlnlne lc\lew.
Mining men who of latu have begun to
regard the operations of the Union Hill com
pany as being of greater moment to the gen
eral welfare of the lllack Hills than nny other
ono enterprise , nro very near the truth.
While it has asked fewer favors than Is tho.
rule with outside Investors , the Union Hill
company has Identified more eastern capital
nnd taken greater practical Interest In the
development of the remarkable resources
of this country than any previous
combination of capitalists nnd If their
rowarda now promise to bo proportionately
great , It should bo a subject for rejoicing ,
nnd not Jealousy , by the communities they
arc bcneflttlng. Including their heavy In
vestments and extensive agricultural Im
provements nt Edgcmont and vicinity , this
company has already expended n million dollars
lars lit the Ulack Hills , to say nothing ol
great sums required for the new enterprises
which ave being constancy Inaugurated al
different points In thslr splendid possessions.
Per Instance , they lm\o now n new stamr
mill at Galena well along toward completion ,
which wll cost $200,000 and Include the besl
and most expensive machinery made. There
ore to bo 180 stamps the second largesl
mill of Its kind In this country nnd It will
be in operation before the Close of the year ,
And they have begun operation nt the rlghl
end of things , for whllo ns much ns $300,000
has been expended In development work and
the exploration of new ground In the Galena
district during the past year , they have
demonstrated the \aluo of all the hundreds
of claims bought and pioved the merits ol
their mines before they built their costly
mills. Although there are many other prop
ositions In the Union Hill company's list of
mines thai will prove p'ofltable feeders
for their stamp mill , It Is being built paitlc-
uHrly for operation on the wonderful
mountain of free milling ore Union hill
and work has already begun on the grade
for a narrow gauge railroad between this
mountain and the mill , a distance of about
two miles. In a recent exhaustive article
on this subject the Ueadwood Dally Inde
pendent described this new stamp mill ns
follows1
"The mill Is constructed on the plnn
Known , as n double mill , with one large ore
bin In. the center running the entire length
of the main mill building , which Is 150 feet
in length , and on each side of this ore bin ,
and running parallel with It Is n row of
ninety stamps making In all 180 stamps.
The foundations for this ore bin are all built
and the sills laid In place , and the main bin
Is now under course of construction. The
bin will be twenty-two feet wide and twenty-
fix u feet high and will have n capacity of
mure than 1,000 tons of crushed ore , which
amount w ill be kept constantly on hand to
use In case of thlpmants being delayed from
the mines during snow storms o < accidents.
The ore passes automatically from the bin
Into the belt-feeder , which feeds the ore to
the tnirps , making thirty-six automatic sclf-
feederb In all. The stamps are of the latest
Improved pattern , and the mortars are known
as the Homestake pattern , which arc similar
to the latest Improved mortars adopted by
the Homestake company at Lead , after ex
perimenting with different styles for nearly
tvvcnt ) jears. With these Improved mortars
the crushing capacity of each stamp Is about
four tons of bard ore every t\vejty-four hems.
The pulp will pass from the mortars onto
copper plates , which are electro silver plated ,
with one ounce of pure silver to each bquarc
foot of surface. Those plates will be amalga
mated with quicksilver , vvhlUi catches all
the fiee gold contained In the ore. After
parsing over those plates the pulp then
pabses with the water used for crushing , on
to the concentrators. One of those concen
trating machines will be used for each five
stamps. All the values in the ore which Is
not free gold will bo saved with those Cin-
rentratlng machines , thereby saving all
the value contained In the ore. The
concentrates contained In the ore from
Hoodoo are of a high grade , and averaged
In weight about from 8 to 10 per cent.
The concentrates will be shipped to the
Cdgemont smelter for treatment. The build
ings , one on tacli side of the main mill build
ing , for concentrators , are each forty feet
wide and ICO feet long. One of those largo
looms are already constructed and the roof
now bung flnibhed. The engine room and
boiler hoube are In close connection with the
main mill buildings , the slzo of engine room
being 31x122 feet , and Uie boiler house
40x75 feet. The steam producing plant will
bo composed ol six boilers , each having a
capacltj of eighty horbo power. Tno powei
will bo supplied by COO horse power Corliss
condensing engine , and a 100 horse power
engine , the former to be used to operate the
stamps , the latter to operate the machine
shop , fans for blacksmith shop and electric
light plant. The machinery Is now being
delivered at the mill dally , and several car
loads are at I'luma awaiting transportation.
"Hon. Robert H. Lilly , the well known min
ing expert and mill builder , is In charge ol
the construction work ot the stamp mill.
H was Mr. Lilly who built the Kildonan
plant at Pluma In 1895 , which at that time
was the best and most complete plant of ltd
kind 'in the world , Fraser & Chalmers of
Chicago have the contract for supplying the
machinery for the entire mill. "
Union Hill ii a mountain that has been
tested by every ait that experience eould
suggest nnd unlimited capital could provide ,
and It has been demonstrated to be a moun
tain of free-milling ore that tould employ
thousands of stamps for age , ? to come. In
many places It oul-assajs tha Homestake and
it bears every Indication of equality Inexhaustible
haustibleextent. . Sam Mc.Mister , whom
every mining man In the country remem
bers as the "father of tha Iloinoitakc , " made
frequent efforts during his lifetime to se
cure possession of the Union Hill ground
owned t > y William Fagan , and ho al-
waja maintained that this would , In
his Judgment , some day dUcloso the
richest mine In the world. Fagan
and others held on to the prop
erty for nineteen jears , doing thousands ol
dollars' worth of work and fully demon
strating Its great value. At one time they
refused $76,000 for two of the claims ,
taking and holding for $100,000. It was
this ground that was first secured by
Krancls C. Q'ablo and his wealthy eastern
associates , and It has been the nucleus
around which has since grown one of the
most promlFlng mineral estates. In the
known world , embracing some 2,000 acres
ci d Including over 300 well dofncd mines
among which are silver propositions that
will bo of Incalculable value If the prices
of former da > s are ever restored to the
white metal. Prof Jenny , the noted m'n-
Ing expert and accepted government au
thority on all matters pertaining Jo mines
and mineral lei ds , has made frequent QX-
amlnatlons fnd reports on Union Hill , and
he has alwavs given It as his Judgment
that It would eventually startle the world
with the extent of Its free gold deposits
The company now owning the propeity
have spared neither labor nor oxpenbe In
demonstrating the accuracy of Prof Jenny's
Judgment. A jcar ago they be
gan at the apex ot the moun
tain and sank a double-compart
ment shaft 350 feet and continued down
300 feet further with diamond drills , every
Inch of the distance in pajlng ore Then
work was begun In earnest on the Hoodoo
tunnel. 1,500 feet east from Union Hill shaft
on the sime property , and as much as $ C5-
090 has since be-en expended In development
work at this point , A three-compartment
shaft is being sunk hero which will bo con
tinued to the 000-foot level , with stations
cut and drifts run at each 100-foot level ,
anil stopcn ope-ncd up In a manner similar
to the workings of the Homestako at Lead
City , which has proven to be the most suc
cessful known method of mining The ore
from the upper workings , which are above
this shaft , will be delivered through the
Hoodoo tunnel , which Is now In over DOO
feet and Is being pushed to Intersect the
Union Hill shaft and Is to ho continued
through HIP mountain , a distance of 3,000
feet. An open cut has been run at a short
distance from the shaft , where a mammoth
vein has been uncovered orn from which
has kept Iho eld riorencr 10 stamp mill run
ning for months , prQWvI Its high value by
the most thorough -ltm * posMhlo. While
the writer was at the Hoodoo the workmen
removed the twmwayfrunning Into the optn
cut , and in doing so uncovered still another
vertical vein with well iloMncd slate walls ,
which averaged over ten feet In width
nnd Imitated from pun tests values of
$15 to $30 per ton \n free gold , some of
It as course as pin h < ) 0sf
In the belt of tc llory reaching from
Union Hill to Galtna , town A scries of par
allel veins occur as en. khe Hoodoo , wnlch
are traceable from inrfnco Indicators the
entire distance to llarb 'Buttc creek , where
n dip under the for'm U ( takes place
Among this company's properties on which
these veins are operied up In different
places are , beside l\\S. \ IldoJoo , the Calumet
Nos. 1 , 2 and 3 , the Gold Dug and the
Anderson ,
In addition to the Hoodoo's equipment ot
modern mining machinery workmen were
engaged In putting In position four large
boilers , one double drum hoisting engine of
the LIdgervvood make the capacity ot
each drum being 650 feet ono large air
compressor ( Ingcrsoll-Scrgennt ) vvlth ca
pacity to operate ten drills md ci c pump
A largo rock crushing plant consisting of
n 200 horse-power engine nnd two No. 6
Gates styled crushers and a large fan for
blowing ore In the workings of the mines
where air drills will not bo In use. The
ore when taken from the mines will bo
dumped Into the large crushers , then drop
down. Into largo storage bins , then
drawn from the bins through chutes Into the
railroad cars and taken to the mills nt
Galena.
There arc six claims In the Union Hill
group and seven In Pyrltlc group , all well
explored , free-milling propositions , which
will provide for the continuous operation ot
the stamp mill Indefinitely and nssure the
future business prosperity ot Galena. Great
pains and good Judgment hns nlso been ex
ercised in making provision for the largo
smelter being built by this company nt
Edgemont. Although the representatives on
the ground have purchased Invlshly during
the past fifteen months , there Is not a claim
In their long list but has been thoroughly
tested and classified for future work.
The big Collctta group of thirty-four
claims furnishes Inexhaustible bodies ot
lend carbonates and Iron ores vvlth values
nil the way from $10 to $00 and carr > lng
stilllclont flux to flux itself. The ores In
this district are said to closely resemble
the famous Yellow Creek district.
The Black Prince group lies three miles
southeast of Galena near the Collctta group.
Here n 4-foot vein of ore has been uncov
ered In four different opcnlngrt A small
streak of high grade ore here gave as high
as $442 to the ton , and the
average sample $32. This ore car
ries a largo amout of lead. There
are nisi large bodies of Iron ore In the
Black Prlnco group , showing as much as CO
per cent Iron In places. Work In the branch
mint and Florence mines on Floro.ce moun
tain , a few jards back from the stamp mill ,
has proglessed steadily. The branch ( mint
Is a well-developed mine vvlth 400 feet of
tunnel , and Is on the same vein and contact
as the Richmond. It has recently produced
ore yielding as bight as $148 to the ton The
Florence mine has B50 feet of tunnel ami
plenty of ore In sight , some ot which has
run $108 In gold nnd silver. From these mines
all the fluxing materials needed at the
smelter will be supplied. The Old Sitting
Bull-Richmond mine is prominent among the
big company's possessions and is In better
bhapo for profitable \vorklng today than ever
before In Itc history. The mile or moic of
Its splendid tunnels'are In perfe.ct order ,
a force of miners having1 been steadily cm-
plojed during the past Jear taking out ore
and making needful preparations for exten
sive future work. Some or the ore has been
smelted at the old smeller on the ground
and some of It shipped af-a nroflt , but moro
of It has been stored awaiting the completion
of the company's smelter at ndgemont.
All Black Hills readers tare familiar with
the history of this fctopcrty , and remem
ber that during the0 Davy regime It fur
nished dividends not far fehort of $1,000,000 ,
before the extravagan.ee pf dissipated man
agers and the expenses of protracted litiga
tion compelled a suspension of operations
There la In the neighborhood of 300,000 tons
of ore on the old wriste dump that -will be
smelted at a profit ot from $1.50 to $3 per
ton when transportation facilities are com
pleted and the Edgemont smoker In opera
tion. ) i
It Is claimed by disinterested people , who
are In pos-itlon to accurately estimate the
financial strength ot the Union Hill com
pany , that Us stockholders could combine
their wealth and buy and operate all the
mines In the Black Hills , and that the list
embraces the "cream of the financial world. "
The organisation of the company was ef
fected by Francis C. Grable , In February ,
189G , with the following list of capitalists as
officers and directors : President , R. E. Pat-
tlson , president Security Trust company of
Philadelphia , and for eight years governor of
Pennsylvania : vice president , Hon. Benjamin
Buttervvorth of Washington , D. C. , lawyer
and capitalist , and for over thirteen years
congressman from Ohio ; treasurer , Thomas
Bradley of Philadelphia , a prominent
financier and successful mining oper
ator ; secretary , W. K. Kurtz. Directors :
Hon. Robert E. Pattlson , Philadelphia ; Hon.
Benjamin Butterworth , Washington , D. C. ;
Han. Thomas Bradley , Philadelphia ; William
K. Kurtz , "Investments , " New York ; Fran
cis C. Grable , president State bank of Craw
ford ; Russell L. Hall , president First Na
tional bank , New Canaan , Conn. ; William

City. Among1 the stockholders at that time
and the many who have blnce become Inter
ested arc the names of such men as J. E.
Andrews , manufacturer and investor. Now

and acute business foresight.
CORPORATIONS AMALGAMATE.
The stockholders In the many extensive
Industrial enterprises whlcft have drawn at
tention toward the beautiful now city of
Edgemont during the past few years , being
many ot them equally Interested In the
gigantic mining operations Inaugurated by
Fiancls C. Grable , a consolidation of Inter
ests has for some time been deemed desir
able , etoeclally since the building of the
emelter at the Mld-Rcpublle city was decided
upon. Such an amalgamation was effected
at Philadelphia on August 17 , under the
now name of thu Edgemunt Smelting and
Union Hill company. The capital stock of
the now company Is $0,000,000 , and the plans
for future operations ore correspondingly
enlarged. Already a half million dollars have
been expended In the vicinity of Edgemont

of still B'catcr magnitude. According to the

Kdgcmont is a natural manufacturing point ,
and the exto slvc sheep-grazing districts of

Its products. IiU'vliauatlble beds of Iron urc
In close proximity of the town will supply

blow crs. This Junction ot the I ) . & . M. road
Is but a short distance from the great Cam
bria coal fields of Wyoming , which fact as-
tures an abundance of cheap fuel for the
operation of smcltcra and factories. As was
demonstrated In nil article In last week's
Mlntiijj Review , there nro hundreds of thou
sands ot tons ot smelting ore In sight In the
different developed sections ot the lllack
Hllln much of which can bo profitably
worked at the new smelter at Kdgemont , but
Is of too low grade to permit of the long
freight haul to eastern smelters. As n cua-
tom mill ot moderate charges the modern
affair of the IMgemont company will be the
means ot opening up many of the dlstilcts
which are now practically ) Idle , and while It
cannot fall of adding to the dividends of the
ndgemont and Union Hill Smelting company ,
it com ns a Ciodbcnd to countless small
mine operators In the Ulack Hills.
Edgomont is already a bountiful place ,

streets and exquisitely planned artificial

A new hoist has been erected at the ndge

stamp mill to facilitate the raising ot the
heavy timbers.
The old Davy residence , office and labora
tory nt Galena have been rebuilt and re
paired , and the Union Hill company arc en
tertaining moro distinguished visitors there
this summer than ever came to the lllack
Hills before during one season.
The Dcadwood Dally Pioneer-Times says :
"A rich body of free-milling ore recently
struck on the Hoodoo property. The vein Is
twelve feet v\Ide and a vertical , lying be
tween porphyry and slate walls , lly pan
teats Hie ore shows a value of $30 per ton , "
free-milling Development work Is being
done. The shaft on the May Is being sunk
In low grade ore. A crosscut tunnel Is being
run from the Hoodoo tunnel to the May
shaft to open some ore bodies between.
Work at the new mill Is going along rapidly
and the company's prospects are very bright.

CHICAGO , Sept. 21. The direct evidence
In the Luctgert captf Is In and the state has
closed. Shortly after 2 o'clock this after
noon the last witness of the prosecution was
heard. This witness was Mrs. Louisa John
son. Shu came Into court , supported by Cap
tain Hertrnn Schticttlcr , ot the Shclllcld
Avenue police station. Mrs Johnson has
been 111 for several weeks nnd the pro ecu-
tlon feared the woman would not be able to
appear to testify Her evidence wns Impor-
ant as showing Luetgert's altitude toward
his wife A carriage was sent to her liomu on
the North Side and Mrs. Johnson m.ulo the
trip to thu court housu attended by a friend.
She was quite exhausted when she I cached
the criminal court building and almost
fainted at the elevator leading to Judge Ttit-
hlll's court loom. When sworn , Mrs. John
son testified ! that upon one occasion she mw
Luetgcrt In n rage chase his wife out of their
home. The big sausage maker , the vvlttuxs
btlld , wns armed with a revolver. He ealled
his wlfo names and threatened to shoot , but
did not. Ex-Judgu Vincent did not cross-
examine the witness. When she left the
stand States Attorney Denecn said : "If thu
couit pleabe , the stntcs lests"
There wns a general movement in the
crowded room as the spectators glanced to
ward Luetgert and his counsel , Luetgeit
leaned forward and whlfcpcred to ex-Judge
Vi cent. The latter arose and made a founal
motion that the case bo taken from the Jui >
en the ground that the state had failed to
make out n case Judge Tuthlll promptl.v
overruled the motion without argument.
Then ex-Judge Vincent stated that owing
to the lateness of the hour he would like to
postpone his opening address to the Jut )
until tomorrow morning There was no ob-
JcctUn and an adjournnunt was taken.
It required Just twenty da > s for the pres
entation of the evidence of the pri. ccutlon.
Ex-Judge Vincent said tonight the detune , "
would present Its side of the case in Jut
half that time. "My address to the Jury
In opening will be shoit i-rid directly to the
point , " he said "We deny the minder ; tie-
corpus delcctl has not bcrji proved as the
law requires. This fact ennnot be assumed
nor Inferre-d from such testimony as hsb b en
presented here. We will explain awa > all
the evidence brought out here by the police
department after months of Investigation
and manipulation. I do not caio to give out
n full our defense until v\e get started , but
I promise some st.utllng developments be
fore we aie through. "
SCORES A POINT.
Frank Blalk. the aged watchman at the
Luetgcrt sausage tactorj , who , besides watch
ing the pien.Iscs at night. Kept fires burning
In the furnaces , was the first witnes * to be
called this morning to bhow motive. He slid
that Mary Slemmerlng paid fie > | ticnt vl"l i
to Luetgcrt at the lattci's olllcc in the sau .i e
facto-y at night Luetgert , bccaubo of hu
unpleasant domestic affairs , had a bed plated
in a binall loom Just off hlb
olilce and slept theio. The last
time the wltnebs leincmbcred faeeing
Mary Slemmerlng there wab one week be
fore May 1 the date of the disappear nice
of Mrs Luelgert. It was B 30 o clock In the
evening andLuetgert and the > oung vvoiiiin
retired to tl.c bedroom and closed the door
The witness bald that Mary Slemmerlng
visited Luetgert on an average of Uirtc
nights each week for months before Mis
Luotgcrt disappeared. Thlt had been going
on for three or four jears before Maj 1 o
the present jcar. Upon one occasion the
witness said Luetgert called him about 1C
o'clock at night ami told him to go and get
Mary Ub Luetgcrt bald he was 111. Blalk
says he went to Mary's bedroom window and
tapped on It with a otlck. When she ap
peared he told her Luetgert wanted her.
She soon appeared at the sausage faetorj and
enteied through a window and went to
Luetgert's bedroom.
Frank Odorofsky testified to substantially
the same story.
A TALK WITH MRS. PINKIIAM
About the Oauso of Anemia.
Everybody comes into this world with a pre
disposition to disease of some particulnr tissue ;
' in other woidb everybody has a wctik spot.
In ninety-nine cases out of a bundled the
weak spot in women is somewhcie in the liter-
ine system. The uterine organs have less ie-
sistauce to disease than the vital oigaus ; that's
why they give out the soonest
Not more than one woman in a hundred
nay , in five hundred has perfectly healthy organs of genet ation. This points
to the stern necessity of helping one'b self just as soon as the life povveib seem
to be on the wane.
Excessive menstruation is a sign of physical weakness and want of tone
In the uterine organs. It baps the strength away and ptoduceb anemia ( blood
turns to water ) .
If you become anemic , there is no knowing what will happen. If your gums
and the inside of your lipb and inside your eyelids look pule in color , j on nro
in a dangerous way and must stop that drain on your povveis. Why not build
up on a generous , uplifting touie , like Lydia U. Piulchum'a
Vegetable Compound ?
MRS. EDWIN Einiio , 413 Church St. , Hethlchein , Pa.t
cays : " I feel it my duty to write and tell you that
I am better than I have been for four years.
I used Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound , one package of Sanative Wash , one box of ,
Liver Pills , and ian say that I am perfectly cuied.
"Doctors did nothclp me any. I should have been
in my grave by this time if it had not been for your
medicine. It was a godsend to me. 1 was troubled with
excessive menstruation , which caused womb trouble ,
and I was obliged to remain in bed for six weeks. Mrs.
Pinkham's medicine was recommended to me , and ,
nf tor using it a short time , was troubled uomoie with flooding. I alsoliad severe
pain in my kidneys. This , also , I have no mot o. I hhull always recommend the
Compound , for ithas cuied me , and itwill cure otheis. I would like to have you
publish thia letter. " ( In such cases the dry form of Compound should bo used. )
