THE OAFATIA DATLT JH3E : FRIDAY , JAXl'A Y 7 , 1808. I NEWS FROM THE FARTHER MINING IN THE BLACK HILLS Piedmont Group , Southeast of Deadwood , Coming to the Front. REDUCTION PLANT TO BE ERECTED THERE JJcvornl Illrh Striken lln\c Ilron Mnilo , the Ilcxt lleltiK $710 Cold to I the Ton Illir Ifnl Con- / Niiiiiiiuitcil. ' T.BAD , S. D. , Jan. C. ( Special. ) There Is I section of country southeast of Dcadvvood , on Hear Ilutto creek , that lias not bcim notice ! to any great extent by mining men. There are several groups of claims which are lielng worked and which glvo 'both free- milling and slllclous ores In paying quanti ties. The Piedmont group Is ono of the mcst promising It consists of seven claims which fca\o been worked and prospected for eigh teen jcars. Ono claim has 300 feet of shafts and about 160 feet of tunneling. In all of the worklngH , a good body of ere has been uncovered which averages $22.50 gold to the Ion. The ere Is slllclous. Several very rich strikes buvo been made , the best being $740 gold to < tlic ton. The 'Hlack ' Hills & Fort Pierre railroad cuts across the group and arrangements have been made with this road to tiatiEport the ere to Dcadwood for treat ment The property Is owned by Dcadwood business men If a suitable location can bo fo'ind ' the company will erect a reduction plant for the treatment of these ores In Jlcadwood The same parties own the Llda iroup , In the same vicinity , which consists of twclvo claims. The formation In frce- inllllng , and the mines have been con tinuously worked for eighteen years. Some uf the assays luvo gene as high as ? SO per ton gold The average value Is $7.50. The ore Imly Is very extensive. One of the largest mining deals that has Jieon male for sonio tlmo In the Hills Is about consummated. The purchasers are O. J , D.irrett of Chicago and two associates of that city There are two separate tracts of Iind , ono embracing 1,600 acres In thoiEngle- wood district , and the other In the Two Bit district , consisting of 200 acres. The first tract Is bonded for one jcar for $1,000 a claim , there being 117 claims. The Two Hit property Is Known as the old Pennsylvania ground , which adjoins the Union Hill property on the west. On each of the properties shafts have been commenced with double shifts of men. It is the Intention to Rink to quartzllu In both cases. If the developments justify the outlay of the capital , there will probably be a smelter built at I-nglewood to treat the orca from both places. OMAHA MAN'S INVESTMENT. Two forces of nun are at work on the St Elmo mine , at Hill City , recently pur chased by Captain Marsh of Omaha It will be sixty dajs before the mill , which was moved over from Kojatone , will to ready for work. A largo force of mea is sinking the Incline shaft deeper. A very Important sale imdo during the week Is the Spokane mine , located Im Cus- tcr county , about minemllca west of Her- ino.a and ( ho miles southeast of Kejutonc. The purchasers are S. E. Young , superin tendent of the Crown Hill company's prop erty at Ragged Top. and George II. Dlppo of Chagrin Palls , O. , the purchase price being $18,000. This property was discovered anil located during the early part of 1SD1 and since that time there has been considerable ere shipped to smelters at Omaha and Den ver for treatment. Of lata jears , however , there hau been but little work done 'on the property The shaft Is down 107 feet and the width of the vein at the bottom of the shaft U ten feet. The ere will run from 30 to 40 per cent lead , fifteen to thirty ounces In silver tad from $2 to $1 In gold to the ton. The vein Is a true fissure , lying between well defined granite vails , and being on the wme belt as the Ke > stone , It Is without doubt a continuation of that famous body. With the new management ore ship ments will soon be resumed , aud with the present price of Irad the propertj will very eoon become dividend pacing. A rich strike has been made on eome property owned by Defldwood men , located threu miles atovo Oalona and near the spur of the Hlack Hills & Fort Plcrro railroad. A sample takrn from a fourtecn-lnch vein as- tajed $112 to tile toni gold. WORK IN PLACER DISTRICT. Considerable work Is being done In the placer district on Castle creek. At Pitts placer , two miles from old CMstteton , a large oomnanv Is eneaced In sinking a shaft to bediock , and at Mjstlc , on the old Drown property , acother eastern company Is de veloping the ohl placer ground quite ex tensively. Several rich quartz fissures In this district are also attracting the attention of practical mining men The ledges contain fiec gold and pyrites of Iron , A sjndlcato -Minneapolis capitalists has purchased twclvo claims , In all 120 acres , situated In Two Hit gulch , north of the Deadwood - wood Development company's ground. The formation Is identically the same as at the Hardln shaft , and the prospect Is very favor able for developing an ere body soon. The property vvaa transferred nt a very good flg- > ne. A small vertical vein of ore , assaying very well , has been traced the entire length of the property. A force of ten carpenters Is pushing work on the largest hoist house In the Ulack Hills , on the ptopeity of the Hercules company's propci ty In Two nit. The shaft (2 ( ono of the largest and most uubstantlally built In that dlKtrlct. The Horseshoe Mlnfng company has devel oped , In tlu Mogul shaft , ono of the largest and most valuable , bodies pf ere In the Ruby basin district. The vein has now been cross cut forty-five feet and the ore Is the highest grade yet found In this portion of the Hills. Elghty-fivo tons of ere are being shipped dally. miLY ORE OUTPUT. It la qulto Interesting to note the amount of 010 mined dally In the northern hills. In Lavvrenco county alone SOO stamps arc drop ping continuously on freo-mllllng ere , treat ing on an average 3,000 tons every twenty- four hours. At an average of $5 per ton , the value of this largo amount of ere In $1C,000. Dcsldes this , the milieu of the xlllclous ere districts within a radius of night miles of Deadvvood produce at least CfiO tons of ore n day , most of which Is reduced at homo by the vailuus processes. Estimating this ere at $20 a ton-which Is a very low estimate , the gold product of this small district is $20- 000 a day. A party of experienced workmen from Pennsylvania Is engaged In putting to gether a new strel shaft house on the prop erty of thn Dcadvvood & Dclawaro company , In Whltetall gulch. New machinery of every description Is arriving by the carload for this company , and when everything la to gether and In running order It will bo a wonderfully perfect plant. Ounora of property In the Galena district tire feeling much encouraged over the ( act that the Eureka tunnel Is penetrating 4 vein of very rich oro. Several other ex posures Imvo been made during the week on property adjoining , sonio of them belonging to the Union Hilt * company. This company Is exercising great caution In expenditure of capital , The suspension of work on the largo stamp mill was the first step taken toward the matter of economizing In capital. The present Indications are that work will bo resumed on the mill before spring When it Is In full operation there will bo needed 200 tana of ore dally. It la thought that the exploitations of tho. different miners of the company will nearly guarantee that largo amount already. As BOOH as the mlnra luvo been sufficiently developed and the ex act extent of the ere bodies made known THERE IS A CUSS OF PEOPLE ( Who are Injured by tbe use of coffee. Re cently there liaa bein placed In all grocery tores a now preparation called QIIAIN-O , made of pure gralns , that takes the place ot coffee. The nu.at delicate stomach re ceives It without distress , and but few can tall It train coffee. It des not cost over U pk much. Children may drink It with great benefit. Ho and Ho per saokago.

( Special. ) An effort will bo made the coming season to show that cotton and tobacco can bo success fully grown on the Pacific slope. The cotton crop will probably not "boar" the market the first year , although there Is no telling what effect It will have on the Industrial conditions of the future. The cotton pro duction of this jear will bo tinder the fosterIng - Ing care of the Oregon Railroad and Naviga tion company , which has just opened an In dustrial department that will experiment with various things to develop the country reached by Its trasportatlon lines. This Is a far-sighted scheme of President Mohler. II. C. Judson , who has bad considerable ex perience In such matters In the east , has been put at the head of the department. Ho will bo guided to a great extent In his operations' by the agricultural colleges of Oregon and Washington. Among the other things In view Is the In troduction of tobacco raising. A consider able colony of Cubans In Plorlda are ne gotiating to como out to the Pacific north west to raise and manufacture tobacco , and the parts of Oregon and Washington lying east of the Cascade mountains are believed to possess the conditions suited to the busi ness. ness.The destruction ot the trade In Cuba has turned the attention ot these- people to other fields of operation , and they have Bent agents here to look the matter Up. Martinez , the great cigar man of Key West , examined the county east of the inpuntalnu recently , and ho did not doubt that tobacco of a superior quality could bo produced ; In the vicinity of Dlalocks , In Gllllam count } ' , . The production of forage plants In the "In land cmplio" will njso engage the attention of this move for Industrial development. In cidental to this will come a thorough In vestigation of the possibilities cf dairying and raising live stock under different conditions than now prevail conditions that will admit of a fuller development of the country A number of now trees will also bo experi mented with to see If they will not have the effect ot precipitating moisture , so aa to make fertile areas now arid.

C ( Special. ) The talented young bride of a well-known business man of Denver , whoso name Is withheld for the pres ent , Is made defendant In breach of promise proceedings Instituted by J. Henry Gallagher , an cx-Iowan banker and at this tlmo a promi nent phjslclan and druggist at Sheldon , la. Gallagher demands the payment of $10,000 damages , $50U attorney fees and all court coats. The caeo has but few precedents In Colorado practice , the majority of the few breach of promise suits being Instituted by broken-hearted members of the fair sex. It Is said that the defendant Is 22 years of age , handsome , talented and powosjed of consid erable property and money. Gallagher Is 35 years old and la fairly well known In ler- ) thoud , this state , at which town ho met his lady love last summer. When slio was IB > ears of ago the object of Gallagher's af fections met that gentleman In Doon la. The strong friendship soon ripened Into love , and three jcars ago they became engaged. Gallagher frequently visited his sweetheart In this city , she having soon Kifter the en gagement taken up her abode hero. It Is claimed that last September the woman sent a letter to Gallagher In Doon asking that nho bo released from the engagement , she having found a new Romeo moro to her lik ing. This letter , It Is decla-ed , was never answered. On November 0 last she married a Denver biifilnebs man and Is now living with him near St John's cathedral. In the meantime Gallagher learned of the transfer of affection and came to Denver on December 13 In * companv with Attoiney Parkinson of Sheldon , the obect of the visit being to ae- cure "an explanation. " SEEKING 'UN EXPL VNATION " On his arrival hero Gallagher sent the de fendant a note telling of his presence in Den. vcr and requesting a private interview. The lady Ignored the communication , and It Is said turned i { over to her husbind , who Is credited with being ready and willing to make the city too hot for Mr. Gallagher should the latter allow up. Gallagher , It Is declaied , paid several visits at his former flnanceo's homo , ' always , however , and most naturally , during the absence of the husband His mission is not definitely known , but the wife claims It was for the purpose of ob taining money. Along about this time , seeing the futility of his efforts , Gallagher wrote a letter to his former sweetheart and had It delivered In a Metropolitan hotel cnvelopo by special messenger. A private detective rgency was given the matter in hand with In struction to place Gallagher under arrest If found. Armed with Gallagher's photograph , which was taken In Sioux City by the Ham ilton I'hoto company , the sleuth started out , and for ten dajs piesocutcd a diligent search An alleged friend of the much-vvantPil man met the detective , and assuring him that he might prove of use In running Gallagher down , asked to bo shown the picture In order that ho might be convinced of the Identity of the party wanted. SInce then neither the friend nor Gallagher has been found , at least that is the claim made MAN DECLINES OFFERS. It wvis about this time that Gallaghers Denver attorney prepared a bill of com plaint against the woman and a copy thereof together with the summons , were delivered to her counsel In it Gallagher sajs that the defendant , prior to November 9 , 1S97 , wes a woman of education , talent , refinement and possc uad of considerable cash and land He claims that he has always been uniu-irrlcd , that he Is of steady and Industrious haLlts and al.vajs ready , able and willing to mairy the defendant. II&sa3 he became acquainted with her rnly about four jears ago In Doo.i , la. It was agreed that they should marry , and In April , 1857 , thej icnewed their vows. On October 10 last , one month before his In tended became the bride of another , Galla gher 0153 she promised again to wed him and set January 1 , 1S3S , as the happy time. During all this period , the plaintiff says , ho In contemplation of the coming nurrlagc spent much tlmo with the defendant and at times was obliged to neglect his bus'neis Ho also savs ho cxncndcd larce sums of money for her pleasure and comfort. biot April , at her request , ho eavs , he left his drug store at Sheldon , la. , and came to his would-be "at Hcrthoud , Colo. , to perfect ar rangements to carry out the matrimonial agreement Last August he returned to Iowa In a happy frame of mind ; but , utterly disre garding his feelings , ho says his lady love married a Denver mm on November 9 thereby committing a breach of promise During hla engagement , Gallagher sa > s , ho had many an opportunity to get married well end advantageously , but alvvajs "refused" them. Ho concludes by raving that ho has spent $1,000 on his courtship and lost , by reason of his absence from business to be In hecompanj , tne sum of $2,000. Ho has gicat sorrow and all his hop&s and prospecU In life I'-ivc been blasted.
