MINING IN THE BLACK HILLS LntPKt JICTTN of Intercut from the Illcli Mineral Itefrlonn of South UnUotn. DEADWOOD , S. D. , Oct. 1. ( Special. ) Notwithstanding the prophesies of many old mining men , the Grantz strike of gold ore In the North Lead mining district has not played out , but It Is growing richer and richer. Ore worth J40 a pound has been taken out right along this week and the hole In the ground from which It has come does not ween to grow much larger. Several theories have been advanced for the discovery , all of which have a good many believers , but the theory that the vein Is a "slide" from a vertical higher up on the mountain seems to be the one more com monly held. There is little question but that the vein came from a vertical at the apex of the mountain , and the discovery of the original mother lode will bo watched with the greatest Interest. The vein that Otto Grantz discovered , from which he Is now 'taking euch rich ore , Is wonderful In Itself and It will yield a big fortune for the owner , but It It leads up to the discov ery of a fissure vein , or vertical , which will go down to unknown depths vertically , It will undoubtedly become the richest mine In the world. The remarkab'e thing about the character of the ore Is the great vari ety. Nearly all of the ore contains free gold. On the same chunk will bo pieces of free gold , black sulphides , sylvanlte and horn silver. The finding of eylvanlte ore In the rock Is ono proof that the vein Is a slide from the vertical of ore. Some of the syl- vanlto ore went ? 25 a. pound. Mr. Grantz believes that ho knows where the vertical of ere is and he intends putting a force of men at work to open It up. He stated further tha ho has discovered another flat vein near the first discovery that is fully as rich as the vein from which ho Is now taking ore. Ho la keeping It a secret and will not do anything with It until next spring. Mr. Grantz will erect a ten-stamp mill near the south of Poorman gulch on ground owned by the Blngham Mining company. Ono of the owners in this company Is Tom Hart , a well known miner , who Is one of the trusted miners that Mr. Grantz has em ployed to take out his rich ore. He has worked for Mr. Grantz for a number of years and Mr. Grantz has frequently told him that when ho struck It rich ho would build for him a stamp mill to work the free-milling ore In the Dlngham mine. Grantz now Intends to erect the mill and he will turn five of the stamps over to the Blnglmm company for them to uee. There will also be a cyanide attachment to the mill to treat the lower grade ores. The Dlngham mlno Is already developed enough to warrant extensive mining. A shaft has been sunk 100 feet and crosscuts have been run cast and west which have penetrated - trated a vertical of free-milling ore sixty- flvo feet -wide. The Detroit and Deadwood Mining com pany has encountered a vein of nickel In the tunnel which is being run on City creek In the city limits of Deadwood. The com pany has been developing several claims for copper and gold ere and the discovery of nickel was entirely unexpected. Nickel Is worth about 35 cents a pound , about twice as much as copper , and It Is stated that the values In the City creek property are high enough to make it a commercial proposi tion. Nickel Is not found In many places In the Black Hills and Is not mined at a sin gle place. It Is a rare metal In the world when found singly. The Detroit and Deadwood - wood company will run a tunnel Into the mountain about 700 feet , whore the ledge of copper-bearing ere will be encountered. This ledge was crosscut at the apex of the mountain last summer and was fouad to bo over fifty feet wide and the average assay In copper was about 10 per cent. Trnimfcrrliie Soldiers' Ilcninlim. CASPEH , Wyo. , Oct. 1. ( Special. ) Con tractor H. M. Brown Is engaged In dlsln- terlng the remains of soldiers ( burled In the vicinity of old' Fort Casper since 1863 and transferring them to the military cemetery at Fort Huasoll. H was supposed that eighteen soldiers -were Untried In and about the fort , but the 'bodies of but six have been found. The ( bodies are thcso of a party massacred 'by the Indiana In July , 1SC5 , near the Plalto bridge. They wore under com mand of Lieutenant Casper W. Collins and were attempting to rescue a party of sol diers belonging to the Eleventh Kansas cavalry , wlo were surrounded by 300 Sioux Indians. Collins attempted to charge through the Indians three times , but was driven 'back ' and Collins and his entire com mand wore killed. The men -whom Collins was attempting to eave were all killed by the Indians except one who escaped by swimming to the south sldo of the Platte. The Indiana burned some of tbo bodies and tho- others were subsequently brought to Fort Casper and burled. Another tody to be removed is that of W. T , Bonwell , a soldier of the Eleventh Kansas volunteer cavalry , who was killed by Indians June 3 , 1665 , while helping escort a wood train to Fort Casper. Bonwell was burled where ho toll and a sandstone slab placed over his grave has been a landmark for many years. $ ! t : ! ieil by n Muiliiinn. PIERRE , S.

Day , but as there was no evidence furnished , Mr. Chrlstensen and two sons were released on their own bond to appear Monday , October 9 , when they will have their hearing. It seems that C. A. Day had bought two-thirds ot the steam threshing outfit from Chrlstensen , and that ChrUtenscn still retained an Interest of one- third. It Is said that some trouble grew out ot this partnership business , as Chrlstensen Insisted that the farmers must pay him one- third of the price agreed upon for the work , and Day equally Insisted thnt thn farmers must pay him the full amount oa per agreement. Chrlstensen states that he had an agreement with Day whereby he , CurlBtensen , was to do all the collecting , but after work had been commenced Day wanted to do this part of the > work and Im mediately trouble 'began ' to brew.

' ; : SOUTH OMAHA NEWS , j - - Two burglars were ahot and Injured nt Twenty-second nnd I streets shortly after 9 o'clock Inat night * Ono of the Injured house breakers Is now In Jail , but the other man aged to escape. Chauncoy Wilson , who resides nt thn southwest corner of Twenty-second and 1 sticct.1 , returned from n drive about 9 o'clock nnd aa he stopped In front of his house ho noticed some one striking matches In th * upstairs rooms. Without making enough noise to cause alarm , Mr. AVllson hastily gathered together half a dozen or so neigh bors end the house was surrounded , Nearly all present had weapons of some kind ana the burglars were promised a warm recep tion when they attempted to emerge. It was seen by these on the outside that three men wero' In the house nnd preparations for a lively time were 'made. ' When the trio attempted to get out of thb house via the back way Mike O'Hern snapped an old gun which came over In the May | flower , but the weapon was not discharged. Then It looked for a moment as It the burg lars would get away , but a good husky yell from Mlko brought reinforcements nnd the burglars were driven to the front of the houso. Becoming desperate , the trio broke through a plato glass window and cut for the timber. Every one who had a weapon took a shot at the fleeing Intruders and It la a wonder they were not bored full of holes. Ono of the burglars , who gives the name ot Henry Clark , was shot through the left arm J.ist above the -wrlat and ho was surrounded and captured. The other two managed to escape. A trail of blood on the sidewalk east on I street shows conclusively that one , or possibly both , of the others were hit b > flying bullets. When brought before Captain Allle at polica headquarters , Clark stated that he was from Texas and asserted that he did not know the names of the two men with him , as he had met them only a short time bcforo In Omaha. Captain Allle recognized Clarh ns a prisoner ho had brought In on suspicion a few days ago. At that time Clark gave the name of SWanson. For reasons best known to himself1 Police Judge Babcock dis charged Clark , alias Swanson , from custody- . Last night's escapade , however , shows that the police , were Justified In arresting Clark as a suspicious character. When asked why ho broke Into Wilson's 'house , Clark repllefl that he was Io6klngfor something to cat When searched 'fl pocketful of matches t. small saw and $2 In money were found. Sev. oral members of the police force put In the rest of the night hunting for the two burglars who escaped. Stockyard * StntlntlcN. the receipts of livestock at the yards here show as follows : Cattle , 564- 881 head ; hogs , 1,657,058 head ; sheep , 829 - 992 head. This Is an Increase of 190228 hogs as compared with the same months of 1898 , and a decrease of 5,136 cattle and 4,693 sheep. This decrease Is very slight as compared with other markets , and It shows that western etockmen prefer tradIng - Ing hero to going on eastward with their stock. From advices received from the west It appears that this market will not be affected to any great extent by the reported shortage In rattle. The small decrease In cattle re ceipts hero will undoubtedly more than bo made up by the end of the calendar year. There seems to bo some little difficulty be tween sheep-feedcro and lamb-owners In the west , but It Is thought that the buyer and seller will scon get together and thus relieve the strained relations. In this con nection the Courier , published at Fort Col lins , Colo. , has this to say : "There are substantial reasons * for the belief that feeders will be able to get all the lambs they want at reasonable prices If they will only be patient. Don't get In a hurry and rush oft down to New Mexico and begin bidding against each other for lambs , for If you do you will scare the grower and bo compelled to pay more than the lambs are worth If you get them. Lot the growers I sweat awhile. They have the lambs , plenty ' of them , and must eell them , If they can't got all they ask for them Just now they will bo only too glad to take less later on , espe cially it they are made to think you don't want lambs very bad. " This advice of tbe Courier Is applied to many eheep-feeders In Nebraska who are anxlous'y ' looking for cbanco to buy feeder stock. Knniir anil Hyiloek IlenrlriK.
