OATTIil-Tliere won tho largest run of
cattlo hero today that has arrived In some
tlmo past. Tho demand on tho part of
packers was In good shape and us u result
alius on good stuff did not show much
change.
'fhcro wero about sixty cars of steers In
cluded In tho receipts and packers started
out and bought up the moro desirable
bunches nt Just about yesterday's prices.
Owing to tho liberal receipts they rather
neglected thn common kinds and half-tat
stuff and sellers who had that kind of
cattlo wero calling tho market 6yi0o lower
and 11 Ilttlo dull. Feeder buyers wero not
after .the warmed-up cattle, which nlso
tended to niako thai class of cattlo sell
lower.
About llfty cars would cover the receipts
of cows today. At tho start the market
was Just about steady and buyers alt
teemed anxious for tho better grades, but,
tho same, as In tho oii.ho of steers, the
common and medium kinds were hard to
move. Iater In tho morning, after pack
ers had tilled their moro urgent orders, they
wanted to buy their supplies lower and sell
ers who had anything but tho very choicest
kinds found they had to taku off 6a and
sometimes 10c boforo they could dlsposo of
them, dinners did not show so murh
change, as tho greatest decline was on tho
medium grades.
Calves brought Jimt about steady prices
today, but the tendency was to buy bulls
a Ilttlo lower, tho samo ns was tho cuao
with cows.
Feeder buyers did not tako hold with
much Ufo today, as they havo nutto a few
cattlo on hand, and the demand from the
country so far this week has been rather
tilrappolntlng. The choicest bunches
brought right around steady prlcen with
yesterday, but tho less desirable kinds
wero slow and lower. This was true of
she stuff us well us of steers. Ilcprtscntu

RAPID CITY. S. V.. Feb. 12. (Special.)
n 1900 the Black Hills mines produced $10,-
SOO.000 In gold, nnd It Is confidently ex
pected that this yenr the production will
qunl $16,000,000.
The gold production lias gradually In
creased every year for twenty years, and
the great Homestnke Mining company has
paid monthly dividends, never skipping a
Inglo month In all that time. The rapid
Increase In tho gold product has been
brought about by the new process of cy
anldlng. Thero arc now In tho hills coun
try a dozen plants using tho cyanide pro
cess. Properties heretofore thougiu to oe
practically worthless nre now on n dividend
nnvftifr Imaln. ttni-niturt ihelr nren can and
are being mined nnd reduced by tho cyanide
process for 13 n ton, making It profitable
to work tho lowest grade of ores to advan
tage, and with large profits. Tne Home-
take company will soon stnrt up the lnrg-
cst cyanide plant in the world, having a
dally capacity of 1,000 tons, Tho same
company now mines and mills 2,000 tons
a day, nnd thero Is In sight enough oro
to keep nil the plants going at the present
rato of output for fifty years. All of the
properties nnd plnnts of tills company are
situated at or trlbutnry to Iad City.
Tho mining ncllvlty In the hills country
was never so strong ns now. Thero Is
nbundant water, fuel and timber, and min
ing operations can, bo conducted nil the
yenr around, Tho climate Is fine. The
weather office of tho United States govern
ment shows more days of sunshine In the
Black Hills than nt nny other point In the
country. Capital from tho cast nnd west
s finding Its way Into various mining dis
tricts of tho southern hills, nnd this year
no doubt several new mining companlcu will
be placed on iv dividend-paying baMs. Cer
tain districts In tho southern hills havo only
been scratched over, because tho trans
portation facilities havo been too limited,
but with new railroads completed to these
districts a new era of prosperity will bo
Inaugurated tn tho southern hills.
From a reliable sourco It Is learned that
tho Dakota Pacific railroad, between this
city nnd Mystic, will beyond doubt be com
pleted In n few months. Tho road runs
through the heart of the southern hills.
Eight miles nre completed nnd 70 per cent
of tho grading of the entire line Is done.
SIxty-flve-pound new rails nre being used,
and an examination of the road shows thnt
nothing Is lacking to mako It a first-class
project In every respect. Nothing but new
and first-class material Is being used In Its
construction. The eastern connection of
this rood lt this city Is the Fremont, Elk-
horn Sc Missouri Valley railway, and tho
western connection at Mystic Is the Bur
lington Sc Missouri River railroad. The
object of the road Is to gnln ncccss to the
heavy bodies of timber and the gold, sliver.
ron and copper ores known to exist. The
right of way between Rapid City and Mys
tic passes through rich gold, silver, copper
and Iron districts, already partially de
veloped, nnd tho owners of mines there will
furnish tho road with all the traffic It can
handle In the shipment of ores Just ns soon
as the road Is completed and In operation.
The1 chlorlnatlon plant In this city can
uso 150 tons of ores a day, and the electro
cyanide plant nt Mystic will tako 123 tons
each day. There are actually on the dumps
ready for shipment to theso reduction
works, and also to Deadwood, Denver nnd
Omaha, thousands of tons, nnd It Is np
parent to everyone who hns gone over the
lino thnt tho mines will furnish traffic to
tho Dakota Pacific that will make It one of
the best paying enterprises III the west.
With tho actual business now In sight thero
Is no doubt nbout It. Thn local business
nlone, nnd without nny reference to Joint
business with tho other roads, Is regnrded
as Justifying tho early completion and
operation of tho Dakota Pacific rullrond,
The president of tho Dakota Pacific rail
road, Jlon. William T. Coad, hns shown
great ' perseverance and enterprise lu the
promotion and carrying forward of this
project, He Is tho orlglnntor of the enter
prtso, nnd hns never relaxed Uls efforts, in
hard or good times, to complete and put
the road In actual operntlont. Mr. Coad's
bucccss means much for this city. The city
will get a now growth.
Many bollevo Rapid City Is destined to be
tho railway center and commercial metrop
oils of tho Black Hills. It Is a beautiful
site, the natural point of approach from the
vast prairies of the east to the mines, for
ests and quarries of the hills to the west.
It is situated to tho Rlack Hills mining
districts and cattle ranges, as Denver Is to
thoso of Colorado. It Is tho natural dis
tributing point for western South Dakota
and northeastern Wyoming nnd Is called
the Gate City of tho rich Black Hills tcrrl
tory.

BOYS ADMIT THEFT OF JUNK
Delegation nf Junk Dealers Confers
vrltli Chief nt Police on the
Subject of "IVnclnK."
Tom Morrlssey, James ("Shanty") Camp
bell and Walter ("nud") Cramer, boy thlovcs
who havo mado much trouble for the police
In the last fow weeks, broko Into Wczcl-
man Steinberg's Junk shop nt 1515 Webster
street Suuday night nnd stole about 200
pounds of brass. When arrested Monday
by Patrolman Lahey and Sergeant Welsen-
berg thoy confessed tho burglary and said
the brass bad been sold nt tho Junk shop
ot 11. Obcrman, 214-216 North Eleventh
street, a half block from the police station.
Oberman was arrested on a chargo of re
ceiving and concealing stolen property. He
denied any knowledge of the transaction
and was released on bond. The brass has
not been recovered.
A deputation of Junk men visited Chief
Donahuo yesterday to talk with him In
regard to tho case. Thoy told the chief
that there was nf chance for an honest man
to make a living at tho business so long
us thero wero so many "fences" engaged
In buying Junk. According to their state
ments they wero the only Junk dealers
In tho city who would not get up at the
dead of night to buy stolen property from
boys and older thieves, which thoy de
clared wns being done by every other Junk
man. Tho chief gained much valuable In
formation of tho Ins nnd outs of tho Junk
business which will doubtless bo put to
good uso.
Detective Vlzzard of the Union Pacific, In
speaking of these Junk shops, said that an
ordinance should be speedily enacted which
would place stringent restrictions upon the
business. He sad that under present con
ditions a host of boy thieves Is growing up
who will fill the Jails and penitentiaries to
overflowing In future years. Mr. Vlzzard
endorses the ordinance fathered by Sergeant
Michael Whelan. which Is now pending be
fore the city council.

Fred Bert, nllas Nicholson, the smooth
man who has been posing as a government
detecttvo and fllraflammlng young farmers
out ot their cash under the pretense that It
was counterfeit, has como to grief at last.
He was arrested tn a South Omaha rooming
houso yesterday morning by Detectives
Savage and Dunn and has been positively
Identified by one of the victims.
Bert turned three tricks, It 1b alleged,
during January and February, The first,
which has not hitherto been made public,
occurred on January 7, when Bert met
Eldon Gardner In South Omaha and Induced
him to coma to this city. They stopped
In a secluded spot of thn wholesale district
and Ilcrt nccused his companion of having
counterfeit money. Of course he dented It
nnd dug up thirty-two good dollars, which
Bert took for tho ostensible purpose ot
having them examined at the "secret serv
Ico office." Then Bert told Gardner to go to
tho police station and tell the chief that
"McCatty had arrested htm and to watt
until ho eamo over before locking htm up.
The schemo worked nicely and Bert got
away with tho money. Since his arrest he
has been confronted by Gardner, who bts
positively Identified him.
Ono other Job yielded $28 to Bert and
another $10. It Is said. In each case his
methods were identical and never failed
to work. The other victims will be brought
hero to Identify Bert. Ho says his name
Is Nicholson, but tho other name Is tattooed
on his left forearm. It was feared that he
would never be brought to Judtlcc, ns tho
police had very poor clues and descriptions
to work upon, and Savngo and Dunn did a
bit of clever detectlvo work In getting him.
SOUVENIR OF EARLY DAYS

ceipts and bear tho dates of 1869 and 1870.
W. C. Johnston, a merchant of Lawrence,

ment of $1.26. nnd has the date lino of
"State Lino, December 16, 'CO." It enumer
ates' two cads of tobacco and two casts ot
tobacco.
The other receipt shows that $1.89 has
been paid for freight on one barrel ot coal
oil. The date of this Is, "Lawrence, May
26. '70." On this paper Is specified the
rate of C4 cents. For rurloslty's sake the

A man slightly tho worse for liquor, giv
