THE OKAHA DAILY BEE : FRIDAY , DECEMMEK 24 , 1897. II NEWS FROM THE FARTHER WEST BIS1SC IN THE BLACK HILLS Interest in Blank Hills Property is Looking Up. fiECENT SALES EXCITE ATTENTION nnil SI. Klinu Will Soon lie to the l.lnt of In > ctincutN In the Slntc. LEAD , S , D. , Dee. 23. ( Fpcclal. ) Slnco the Kile ot the Keystone mine , at Keystone , anil the St. Elmo , at Hill City , the southern Hills have made a decided advance In the CB- llm&tlon of pcc ( > lo Interested In mining mat ters. Both ot thcso mlacs will soon be added to the II t ot dividend paying properties. It is encouraging lo notice Ihe change already made In the mining camp of Keystone. I'co- plo owning mining properties in the vicinity of the camp are feeling Jubilant over tno re cent sale of the Keystone and the same Is true of mine owners In the vicinity of Hill City. In the exploring of the Holy Terror mine , which Is down 550 feet , a peculiarity has been determined In vein explorations characteristic to the southern Hills. In the vertical velnn'of mineral bearing rock , there is a zctie of barren material at a depth of from 100 to 200 feet , where there Is no pay ore. From the surface down to that point usually the rock la highly mineralized am ! pays volt. This has been a great drawback to the development > of southern Hills mines because- the owners have lacked capital to 1 penetiate the barren rook. Tae richest vein in the Holy Terror is found on the 500-foot level. When the Keystcne penetrates to that depth , It Is calculated that the same vein \\lll bo encountered. A new hoist has been purchased for the Holy Terror mine , whlcl : will reach a depth of l.GOO feet. The shot will bo sunk to that depth. There are several deep mines In the vi cinity of Custcr , The Lemars Investment comcony Is working on the Lizzie groto. tunnel his been extended 100 feet and tplciidld body of ore encountered. The vein has been crosscut twenty-five feet , hut tht limit of the ore body has not been struck The ore Is slliclous In character. The Drum mer group , In the Penobecot district , owned by n Milwaukee company , Is among the moat promising of the Custer mince. A ten-stamp mill Is being erected. The ore Is free-milling and concentrating. A sixty-foot shaft has bcc-n lowered. In the Hill City district , the Tea Good , Golden Slipper , J. R. Golden , Summit and several other mines are being operated with profit. The Eldorado is working on ? 20 ore. The > cln is explored to a depth of sixty feet with nn exposure of a four-foot face. A new niSnu Is about to bo opened three miles south east of Hill City called the Dolcoath. It will be opened by a diamond drill and extensive explorations will be made before regular mining is begun. LEADING CAMP. Tlochford , twenty-five miles south of Deadwood - wood , In , without doubt , the leading mining camp In the Central Hllla. A very good grauo of ore Is being developed in several mines , and for a new camp the locality has great promise Parties Interviewed from the Sand creek district- report active -work In the placer mines. Several quartz specimens were ex hibited that were found In the slime boxes whjch were very rich with coarse pieces of metallic gold. It IK the opinion that the prices "of quart * came from the mother lode ncir the mouth1 ot the creek. There Is con- sldurablb prospecting going on in that vicin ity. There Is a heavy capping of porphyry that covers the entire district which makes exploiting very difficult. It Is expected soon that a discovery will be made which will open up an entirely new mining district. The first shipment from the Mogul mine las been made. The mine Is owned by the Kildnnnn company. For several months this company lias been working in barren rock in hopes of eventuilly finding a rich vein of ore. A shaft has been extended 305 feet and nearly GOO feet of cross-cutting has been . done. Thp company estimates that $18,000 Itns bcea expended in the work of'exploiting ' the ground. The ore vein found Is rich and will soon repay the owners of the property. Eighteen thousand dollars was expended be fore any returns from the mines were re ceived. An Omaha company ij working some rich ground In the slates four miles west of Roch- fonl. Two ( .hafts are being sunk on the group of claims , the deepest one being down fifty feet , which has been cross-cut thlrty- nvo feet and is still in ore running from $31 tr > $40. The company is well backed , finan cially , and It In the plan to sink the shafts to the deepest level. Dr. Franklin Carpenter , general manager of the Deadwood nnd Delaware Smelter , has bbon grant/id a number of patents on a smelting : and refining process , which are Im provements on the process In use at that plant. The new process will bo first tried In the Deadwooil and Delaware smelter. The contract of sinking a thlrty-flvo foot jihaft on the ground ot the Minnie Mining company , In Two nit , has been completed. Another asssminont will bo made to sink thi < shaft deeper The bottom of the shaft Is In highly mineralized substance , and It. is believed that the body of ore which Is being worked on the Weber ground 200 feet distant will soon bo encountered. A fine looltlng vein of ore hue been struck on the Parsons Rrouj ) . la the e'imo dUtrlct. It has been announced that $20,000 will' bo expended In Improving the Golden Crest property In belt. The dluft house , which Is the largest la the gulch. Is nearly completed. IMG SHAFT STARTED , The largest shaft in the Two Dlt dUtrlct has beea started on the ground of the Her cules company. H Is four compartment and will bo equipped with machinery capable or sinking 100 feet. The power will be fur- a'fihed by two clghtyhoreopower boilers. A duplex pump and nn air compressor will bo put In. The company la composed chiefly of Chicago capltallats and their property comprises forty-six claims. Machinery has arrived for the now place : mlnb In Heaver gulch. The placer district Is. . A'out ' threeml ! < w long nnd 300 feet wide. The ground has been prospected with a pan rail a few shallow pits sunk and gold has lbee-.i found In each case , U is believed that It Is the only virgin pl'acer ' field left 1& the Hills , The creek bed has never been worked before. One company has been found ! which will sink three shaft * to bedrock which U about thirty feet. 11. 01. 'Malonoy has taken a bond and lease on the ( Snowstorm shaft and workings. Over a year ago a shaft was sunk on the property 200 feet and considerable drifting was done. For some reason the work was stopped. The mlno Is rich and under the new management It will bo well developed. The mlno Is situated near Terry's Peak. The Deadwood & Delaware Smelter company - < pany lias made an Increase of 25 cents a day ou the wages ot all employes working ouUIdo 01 luu mm. . The four compressed air drills , which have recently been placed In the Tornado mine , are doing very satisfactory work. Each drill does the work of five or six men. con- ccqucatly about twenty men are laid oft from work temporarily. It was thought when the machines \\rro first put Into use In the Homcstako mines that It would throw a great many men out of employment. The fact Is , moro men are employed In the mines ami about the mills as a result of using the air drill ) , clnco cheaper grades ot ore can bo worked and In larger quantities , requiring more mm to handle the ere when mined , The crrapany owning the Rua mine has .been Incorporated under a new name , the Two Johnnies. John Drake , president ; John Gates , vlco president , and C , A. 'Hnllam secretary and treasurer , A largo force o men i.s employed In the development of this property Immense bodies of ore have been uncovered and one carload a day Is being uhlpped.

George T. Williams , editor o > f the Ida Couoty Pioneer , of Ida Grove , la. , recently made a trip to Utah , which he describes Ixot In his newspaper. The most Interesting pirt of his letter relates to a visit he had with 1'resldcnt Wllford Woodruff of the Mormon church as follows : A silver haired man sits In his executive chamber busy with oHlclal duties ; though the frosts of ninety-one winters have made the once dark locks snow white , the blue eyes are wonderfully keen and penetrating still ; the full , kindly face"unfurrowed by marks ot tlmo nnd the large , well proportioned fig ure as firm and active as Uiat of an. ordinary man of twenty years his junior. From his exceptloMlly well preserved physique U is patent to the casual observer that most of the man's life haa been passed In the pure air and bright sun light of heaven , amid pastoral scenes and duties according to the lot of the average farmer. The place Is the front room In a building known as the president's office , which Is be tween the "Lion Houso" and the "Bee Hive" In a block at the corner of State and Temple streets In Salt Lake City. Utah. The man Is President Wllford Woodruff , the creates1 living personage In the Mormon church to- d-iy ; the one upco whom the mantle of Rrigham Young's olflclal position fell when Its former wearer peacefully folded his hands nnd dr'fted Into the great beyond. Outside , i the gray December morning draws Us dreary I length amid alternating paroxylarns of rain ' and snow. Inside , the fire in the grate burns brightly and no sound disturbs the quietude , while the president sits at his deck with ibrows knit and eyes bent on a paper Ijlns before him. Suddenly the coor from the re ception room opens nnd Mr. Glbbs , the presi dent's private secretary a pleasent appear ing man of perhaps forty-five summers en. ters and informs his superior that George T Wllllajns , a long-haired editor from Iowa , In whose company are two women , desires an audience with his honor. Ir.sUQtly the kind old face lights up , the doctiment Is laid one elde acd the highest official In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints stands awaiting- the entrance of the party an nounced. nounced.GREETED GREETED BY WOODRUFF. Mr. Williams steps forward nnd grasps the outstretched hand of Ilie president and then In turn presents .aU wife and Mrs. Freeman cod all uro most cordially greeted by Presi dent Woodruff , wha "thereupon " motions the whole parties lo seats around the cozy fire place. Then , resuming the revolving chair from which he had risen to chat pleasantly with the visitors. The most rc-nwrkablo feature of this grand old man s appearance la als apparent .fresh ness under the weight of more tbin four score years and Itin ; but the cao which Is most unexpected is the frank , open pearled sincerity and unassuming simplicity which I characterize his manner. The conversation I turns upon the pioneers nnd their perilous Journey to the promised land. "Yea , " said President Wodruff , "the colonization of Utah In the manner in which it was lacompllshei was a tremendous undertaking and a mar velous achievement , whether the partici pants had been Mormons or gentiles. " Then he speaks In terms of highest esteem of the deceased former president sleeping In his unpretentious tomb less than a lilock away : nnd recalls the time that together they staked out the temple block , marked the spot -whereon a temple should be erected nnd laid out the streets of Salt Lake City just as they are today. Nothing could be- moro touching than the genuine reverence with which he speaks lof the career of his former contemporary , President Brlgham Young. Young.A A MONSTER BUFFALO HERD. 'One of the mast remarkable experiences of my llfo , " continues the president , "Is one that occurred while our caravan was crossing the plains. At that time the buffalo had fed In herds all along our trail , living In total Ignorance of the devastating spear cad fire arms of the w'alte man and knew no fear of him. It was not otrange then that one morn ing we found ourselves surrounded by an immense herd of mooley beaded creatures. Far as the eye could reach only the great llv-ins horned cloud could bo distinguished We gathered rpears and such other weapons of defense as uas possible and guarded our horses and wagons In order to save them from being trampled upon by the teeming thousands. Wo could stcy forty feet from the wagons lu any direction and jab the passing animals with our tpears. So closely were they packed together that faster motion ttan walking was Impossible. For t'aree days we continued on the defensive v > hlle the herd , which was 120 miles long , was passing. And you may Imagine we wern heartily thank ful whefl our exhaustive labors were ended ; and supremely grateful as well , that we hid sustained no loss or disaster trom the harrowIng - Ing ordeal. I have eeeo many buffalo herds since then , but have never seen nor heard tell of one Wiat would in any way approxi mate the one ot which I speak. " HIS LIFE 1AND INSPIRATION. As the call has already extended t > c.mo fif teen minutes the visitors , although loth to leave tfco genial host , nrUe to take their de parture. President Woodruff arises alDo and his face Is fairly millint with a kindly light as ho clasps the lianJ ot each In a cordial farewell end expresses his pleasure at having been the recipient of a call. The guests assure - sure him the statlmctit is mutual and re luctantly take-their , Icuvc. Proceeding once more to their hotel they audibly commended Uie reverend taint for h'ls kindness In allowing them an Interview aa an auJlanco with the president Is a hard matter to obtain , even among members of his ewe church , bis .t-imo being mostly occu pied with business to the exclusion of visit ors and of his freedom from ostentation while granting It. President ( Woodruff's saintly llfo Is an In spiration to his followers and his Brunei Ch.-ls- tlan character la admired by all. Tbosolio have an Intimate conception of 4hlz venerable gentleman's character be they Mormon or G-ontlle acknowlpdge its beauty and worthi ness ot emulation and bestow upon President Wllford Woodruff kindest wishes for his coa- tlnued longevity.

The valuable collection -paintings of tenet otColorado's past governors In the state capltol building at Denver is viewed by hundreds ot visitors to that building every year , says the Denver Republican. These paintings adorn the walls of the private office and reception room of the gover.or , nnd were donated to the- state toy the various governors. The likenesses are exceptionally good of these men who at one time In their political career sat In the state's executive chair and managed the affairs of this com monwealth. There have been fifteen governors In Cole rado's history. The collection consists of ten oil paintings , nearly life size , flve of the go\ernors not having had their pictures painted. There are a couple of paintings of past go\ernors which have been painted , but have not as yet been hung up. These paintings arp viewed each year by hundreds of people who visit the state house nnd would "be viewed by as many again If the visitors did not call at times when Governor Adams Is receiving callers nnd can not be disturbed by sightseers. When he Is not engaged with personal callers no one Is , refused permission to enter the governor's .office and look upon the faces of some ot Colorado's most Illustrious statesmen. Tno handsome and life-like portrait of Governor Adams Is so hung that It can be seen from the main executive room , as It hangs almost opposite the door ibetwcen the two -rooms. When sightseers call when Governor Adams Is eni-aged with n caller , aud It Is Impossible for them to enter the Inner room , they stand near the door leafing into it , and look upon his picture , as this door Is seldom closed. While It may be a disappointment to the callers not to see all -the > plctmos , they can see the likeness of one 'of the governors who was twice called upon Sy the people ot the state to take their affairs In his hands.
