Weeks of Dcnvet and two Chicago capitalists have been In this city this week looklug ovor Iho prop erties ot tho Black Hills Belt Development comrany, which Is developing tho larc group of claims south ot tho Hoinestakc mine. The company Is looking for ono of the veins of ore beln? worked n fow hundred feel farther north lu thu Home stake. The shaft Is down over 000 feet nnd Is supposed to bo near the oro body. Mr. Crosby, speaking for Colorado, said: "Tho Black Hllln people do not reallto how much they aro being talked about down In our country. Tbo Colorudo papers aro giving a great deal of space to Black Hills news and It Is the part of the newspapers that Is read tirst. Tho people of Denver nnd Colorado Springs arc still talking about the way the Black Hills people did things nt the carnUnl. Wo Colorado pcopto are much disposed to put our money Into Black Hills propositions. We already have a number of largo enterprises under way, such as tho Hidden Fortune, Bolt Develop ment and Spcaiflsh companies. There will bo manx, mora such companies In a short time. I look for n general boom for tbo Black Hills to set In from all parts ot the country between now nnd spring." Speaking tor the eastern part of the country, A. J.

"Wo Chicago people aro getting the cor rect Idea of the majority of the mining propositions in 'ho Black Hills; that they are manufacturing propositions on a large and safe scale. Pcoplo have for ages been Investing money In cottcn and woolen manu facturing plants, In steel mills and In other manufacturing enterprises, In which the market for tho manufactured product fluc tuates. Any ordinary man can aeo tho dif ference between the manufacturing of gold and tho turning out ot steel rails." . It Is rumorod that a large consolidation Is on In the Ragged Top district, in which the Spcarflsh Mining company and tho Hanscbka properties will bo absorbed by tho American Mining company. It is re ported hero that a proposition has been mado to the Spcarflsh company and to the owners ot the adjoining ground, and that It is likely that the matter will be favor ably considered. A dozen or mora Influen tial mjn, who havo been working up the deal, have been In tho Hills this week. The principal promoters wilt be KM- Patrick Bros. & Collins ot Newcastle who have been putting up most of the money used in tbo extonslvo development work ot tho American Mining company at Ragged Top. ,, Mile Tunnel Seeka Shoots. This company Is running a tunnel a mile in length on the lower quartzlto level In search of the flat shoots of oro that aro being mined further to the east, In the Bald mountain district. The company al ready owns something like 2,000 acres ot choice ground and the properties of the Spcarflsh company and the Hanschka syn dicate adjoin on the south and east. It would be adding something liko TOO acres of ground. This entire Ragged Top dls trlct Is covered with Immense shoots ot tho low-grade cyanidlng ore. The Spcarflsh compnny has moro oro blocked out now than It had a year ago wbon the company first began milling ore. In caso the Spearflsh company does not accept the proposition of the American company, one of tho officials announces that tho plant that wllLbe erected to tako tho place of tbo 200-ton plant that was destroyed by Are this week will be In creased In capacity to 300 tons dally. Con siderable ot the machinery can be used again In tbo new plant. With Ed Hanschka of Dcadwood arc associated W. O.

If tho American Mining company gets control of theso two prop crtlcs, It will be one of the most Impor tant consolidations ever made in tho Black Hills.

For seventy-flvo feet the oro lm' been carrying copper better than n traco and It Is tho opinion of the management of ihe company that the main shoot of copper ore will he found before the tunnel has gone much far ther.

Hull l'reentlon Aluiiw ultli ttnlnmnL Iiik n MiperMltlnn Not Au thorized hy Fneln. WASHINGTON, Nov. 3,-Prof. Willis U Moore, acting secretary of agriculture, has issued a statement concerning the matter of the attempted prevention of hailstorms by the use of explosives from specially designed cannon. Brief reference Is mado to the renewed Interest In tho subject latdly manifested In France nud Italy and to the apparatus now lu use In conducting tho experiments. The piotcssor then says in part: "Thcro is a marked difference of opinion as to tho effectiveness of cannon tiring with tho manufacturers, and many grape growers un the ono side nnd tho scientists of America nnd Europe on the other. Tho former maintain that hailstorms can bo prevented In tho manner described, whllo tho latter claim that the forco exerted by the explosives Is Infinitesimal as com pared to the forces of nature that aro ex erted In hall formation and that experi ments conducted by the adherents of the cannonading process themselves havo not produce 1 convincing results. "Tho number of thunderstorms from which ball is prcclpitntcd Is but a small per cent of the actual number of thunder storms. Ip most localities of tho United States a whole season sometimes pasnci without a fall of hall. In tho grape-growing regions of Franco and Italy there may bo greater hailstorm frequency, but It Is still truo that the number of hailstorms aro fow, as compared to tho number of thunderstorms without hall. "Tho experimenters show n success when over they shoot nt n thunderstorm that docs not produce hall, although the chances nro greatly In favor of thcro being no hall In the cloud. Again, they excuso tho oc currence of hall In sptto of n bombardment by saying that the cannon was not large enough or the powder charge Insufficient and declare that tho hailstorm was far less scvero than It would havo been other wise. How Is one to prove or disprove such statements? .Mortal Are But Wenkllnixii. "Scientists both In America and in Eu rope declare that hailstorms cannot bo prevented by tho use of cannon and ex plosives of even greater power than has been used or It Is posslblo for men to uso.l and baso their belief upon ouch knowlcdgo of tho forces of naturo as science has re vealed. "Sovcinl thousand shooting stations havo been established In Italy and France during the last two years, but reports received from them glvo no definite dnta In support of the success of tbo experiments, although thcro Is no doubt thnt the cannonading Is believed to bo effectual by the farmers who do the work. Waves of Irrational enthusi asm sometimes creep over a community. only to bo regretted In subsequent years when calmor Judgment has como to provnll. "We havo only to remember tho experi ence of our own country only a fow years ago with the rainmakers and how Arm wa3 tho belief of thousands ot pcoplo In tho sub-arid nnd arid regions of the west that tho US6 of powerful explosives would pro duce rainfall. Thousands of dollars were expended In theso experiments before the absurdity ot tbo claim was demonstrated. Mnnte Vienna to Opposite I3nda. "It Is a fact worthy of remark that thn hall shooters aro now using practically the samo methods to dissipate the clouds that tho rainmakers used to produco them. Tlmo and experiment probably will demonstrate that the prevention by such means Is as Imprnctlcablo as rain production. Thoro is no way of telling by the sight ot an ap proaching cloud whether or not It Is ac companied by hall. Therefore, if tho cannon bo used every thunderstorm would havo to bo bombarded, although It has been demon strated that only ono thunder cloud out of a great number contains hall. In other words, there would bo a tremendous waste ot time, money and energy lu unnecessary bombardments. "After examining all that has been pub lished during the last two years on tbo subject of hall prevention, I havo to repeat tho opinion hcrctoforo expressed, that wc havu to do with a popular doluslon and that efforts should be mado to prevent its spread In this country. Tho great phenomena going on In tho atmosphere aro on too large a scalo for any man to control them. The energy expended by nature In tho pro duction of a hailstorm, a tornado or a rain storm probably excucds tho combined cnorgy ot all the steam engines and ex plosives In the world. It Is useless for man tontttcmpt to combat nature on this scale." W. J.
