DEADWOOD. S. D.. Dee. 9. (Special.)
The Rolnbold company ot Omaha Is about
to start a new enterprise In tho Southern
Hills. A Bhort tlmo ago Dr. II. H. Rolnbold
discovered a largo body of manganeso In
Custer county and men wero set to work
opening up tho ledge. It has been found
o bo extensive nnd will prove a vniunbio
thing. Tho ore contalus about 20 per cent
mnngancsc, 35 per cent phosphato acid, C
per cent llthla nnd small quantities of Iron,
lime and ullumlnum. Tho company has
this plan In view: Por tho last two years
Dr. Relnbold has been shipping spodumone
o Germany from a mlno near Hill City.
This material contains about 3 per cent
llthla. and It is for this that tho ore Is
shipped. Dr. Relnbold discovered tho valuo
of tho oro and ho has now shipped to Ger
many several hundred tons, lor somo tlmo
ho tried to get the German company to
erect works at Omaha. In which to extract
the llthla values from the spodumcne ore,
but tho plans novcr matured. Rolubold
has now found this largo vein of manganese
oro, which contains about twice as much
llthla as the spoJumeno. His company
proposes to put In cxten3lve works nt Omaha
for tho purpose of separating tho mauga
neBO, phosphoric acid and llthla, nil of
which aro valuablo products. Tho Diant is
to be In operntlon by spring. Two buildings
havo been picked out In Omaha, ono of
which will bo converted Into tho works.
Plenty of Print.
Tho manufacture of llthla nlono will bo a
money-mnker. The Germau company
could afford to pay a good price for tho
spodumcne oro besides tho freight nnd ad
ditional cost of extraction. The manganese
oro carries 50 per cent of valunblo ma
terials, which can bo saved by a secret
process that has been worked out by tho
Rolnbold company. Tho company has
very largo amount of the manganeso nnd
tho enterprise means tho shipping to
Omaha of a great deal ot ore. Dr. Re in
bold has also discovered In Custer county
a good-sized ledge of arsenic, which run
about 60 per cent to tho ton of rock. This
mlno will also bo worked nnd the oro will
bo shipped to tho Omaha plant. Dr. Reln
bold has mado more valuable discoveries
of rare minerals In tho lllack Hills thnn
any other person. Ho made thu first renl
discovery of wolframite and mado tho firs:
shipment of tho valuablo ore, which netted
him nearly $300 per ton. Shcclttu wns
another valuablo mineral discovered by htm,
Ho has found evidences of nickel veins
near Custer, somo of tho oro found giving
rich assays. Thero could not bo n much
bettor proposition nt present than a good
ulckol mine.
Dr. Rolnbold believes that ho ha3 found
n numbei" of truo veins of copper ore. His
theory Is that "copper oro exists In flssuro
volus the same as gold In quartz veins.
Ho has mndo several Important discoveries
recently of copper oro, thero being a num
ber of prominent railway ofllclals In Omaha
interested with him lu their dcvolopmout.
A flno deposit ot roofing slate was found
by this promoter last summer. Tho aw
poilt Is ot good-size and jtho slabs thnt can
bo mtnod aro very large. Dr. Relnbold
states thnt thero aro few places lu the.
United States where as good n quality ot
building slate can bo found. Thero nro a
number of rare minerals that nro found in
small quantities In but few places In tho
world thnt Dr. Relnbold hopes to find m
tho Hills. Ilcryl Is ono of them nnd vana
dium Is another. Theso materials aro sold
by tho ounco nnd ore very valuable. Dr.
Relnbold believes that a great many of tr.e
very rnro and valuablo motals nnd mlnornls
will bo found In tho Dlack Hills. Thu min
ing of tin In several localities, according
to this expert, Is but a question ot tlmo.
The finding of such rich spadumeno oro Is
nn Indication of rich tin rock, near by. Dr.
Rolnbold slates that In his explorations o:

New Ore In Spokane.
Tho Spokauo mine, south of Keystone, is
soon to become a producer of lead and sil
ver oro. Tho mine Is owned and operated
by tho Crown IHU company. A shaft has
been sunk about 250 feet, following down
a twenty-flvo-foot ledgo of galena ore.
Last summer tho company built n fifty-ton
concentrating plant, which handles the oro
successfully. The conipnny has Increased
tho capitalization for tho puiposo ot carry
ing on tho development ot tho mine. Tho
shaft Is to be sunk to tho 500-foot level
and tho concentrating plunt will be en
larged to 100 tons per day. Tho Crown
Hill company also 1ms a mine ut Crown
Hill station, cast ot Ragged Top. Here
large bodies of cyanldlng gold oro havo
been blocked out, A cynanldo plant la
being planned for, to be erected at the
Crown Hill mine. News ot tho sale ot tho
Grand Junction mlno to Now York parties
is expected every day. An expert has been
out from New York City nnd a careful ex
amination of the mine has been mado. Tho
Grand Junction Is colled tho "Homestako"
ot tho Southern bills. It Is located about
seven miles northwest of Custer in a par
ticularly rich belt. Tho formation Is prac
tically tho same as tho Humcstake. A shaft
has been sunk 125 feet and u cross-cut at
tho shaft's bottom fchows tho main oro
ledgo to bo over 100 feet wide. Tho valuo
of tho ore Is nbout the same as tho Home
stake oro and many mining men consider
It equal In every way to thot great mine
of lead. The Grand Junction belt Is sov
oral miles In length, Several Inrge deals
are practically closed In this camp.
The Saginaw Mining company, which wob
organized last October by Michigan poo
pic, has commenced building cabins nnd
making other preparations for continuous
development work on n group of mining
claims purchased from Custer partlen, the
location being about olght miles northwest
of that city, Thero nro threo separate
volns of gold ore within a radius ot fifty
feet, tho theory being that they come to
gether at a depth of nbout 100 feet. Tin
average valuo of tho oro on tho surface
Is about $22 per ton gold. A deep shaft will
bo sunk. Tho president ol the company Is

Galena, eaBt of this city about ten miles
The company was organized by Dr. H. 11
Muggloy of Chicago, who purchased a short
time ago tho Rulllon mine. Tho officers o
the company nro; Ryron Truoll of Law-

Boston, vlco president; William O. Reed o
Rostou, senrotary; Rudolph C. Surtrldge ot

ono of the largest and richest mining prop

It Is expected that work will be com
menced soon by the consolidated Hardin
companies on a deep shaft to be sunk a
the most promising point on one of th
properties ot the five old companies
Through the efforts of James D. Hardin,
general manager, a consolidation ot the
companies has been effected.
Interest In lllack Hills mines Is greatly
on tho Increase. The old Whit Star mln.',

- A tit tin wlnt a

what Is known ns tho Homan question wns
especially significant, ns tho archbishop,
during tho latter's recent visit to Homo,
talked at length with tho pope. Tho arch
bishop referred to tho pope as a prisoner
lu tho Vatican, voluntnry In that no phys

and involuntary In thnt he could not go
beyond tho Vatican without Impairing his

Cold wenther lowers tho vitality aud In
that wsy renders tho body less ahlo to resUt
the effect ot tho outside conditions, observos
tho medical editor ot tho Cincinnati
Tribune. This so makes tho system liable
to be stormed by microbes. I'ncumonla In
variably attacks pcoplo whoso vitality Ii
lowered from somo cause or other exccfslvu
exertion, excessive worry, even excessive
grief, which Is a very potent factor lu tho
lowering ot vitality. Sometimes n lirglcctod
cold will help to produce tho disease and
so will tho mlsslnc ot a meal while ono
Is moro or lens run down throiiRh the sralu
of business or other excitement. In tho or-
ninarv way nncumonln hv Itself does not
. . . . . . . .
prove fatal, except In tho caso of very old
or very young people. Tho danger arises
when it Is complicated by heart or kidney
disease. If theso organs are healthy nt tho
tlmo that tho disease sets In tho putltnt In
variably recovers, unless ho tins exhausted
himself nt tha beginning of tho attack by
being tbont tho houso when ho should havo
bocn In bed.
It has been found by cxperlonco that
while tho harmful microbes grow In the
mouth, many others also havo their habita
tion there whoso ofllces are to protect tho
body, as It were, from thesu microscopic
foes. In tho winter those "bonellcent mi
crobes," as they have been called, do not
flourish to the samo extent ns they do In
the warmer weather, so that the mouth and
through tho mouth tho rest ot the body Is
left without Its protectors nnd If the Indi
vidual does not by enro como to tho rescue
ot his body he rendern himself Ilnblo to be
attacked not loss seriously because his
toes aro lnvtslnblo. Whllo the ordinary
"beneficent" mlcrobo docs not flourish in
cold weather so well, tho microbe of pneu
monia does, and grows active at a tompera-
ture which is practically fatal to others.
That Is tho scientific eolutlon of how ono
catches cold. How to cure It? Ask the first
man you meet.
