Crosby of the Croaby-Ehrlch syudlcatc of
Colorado Springs, F. H. 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. Blgelow of Chicago, a mem-
bcr of tho visiting party, said:
'Tho money market In the east is excel
lent. Speculations In mining aro more com
mon than ever before and there Is a great
'demand for good Investments In this line.
Tho Black Hills has been pushing itself
favorably into tho arena ot mines and min
ing and people back cast arc beginning
to look to the western part ofiSouth Da
kota for places to put their money In
preference to somo ot the older mining
states.
Lnme nnd Snfe Investments.
"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. Mor
rlson and brother of Colorado City and
they havo a 200-ton cyanide plant far enough
along for tho Installing of the machinery.
Ore Iteady (or Drenklna;.
This syndicate hag even more ore ex
posed rcaoy tor breaking than the Spear
fish company. 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. Water power cau bo supplied from
Spcarflsh creek to run all of the machinery
and thoro will be an unlimited amount of
ore, cspoclally should tho long tunnol now
bolng run encounter ore on quartzlto. The
company has mini; a diamond drill down to
the lower oro measures and tlnds quartzlto
to bo 1 050 feet below Iho apex of Ragged
Top. It Is generally bolleved that this
entlro country is cut by ora shoots.
The Bluo Lead Mining company has en
countered sulphide ore lu tbo big tunnel
that is being run ot tho Blue Load mtno
near Sheridan, In Pennlrgfn county. 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. The vein matter has now been cross
cut considerably over 100 feet.

At tho workings of tbo Black Hills Cop

thu Incline shaft has reached 'a depth rf
750 feet, following down a Htroug ledgo of
copper sulphides tint runs well enough to
pay a handsome protlt on a largo seals. It
Is expected that a number of the officials
of tho company will arrlvo in the HIIIi n:xt
week to determlno tho qnea'Jon of the erec
tion of somo sort of a plnnt to treat the
ore. This Is a Michigan company. Cross
cutting will be begun east, nnd west In n

MN IN COMBAT WITH NATURE
Weathtr fiuitau Bhcitiiei th Ifloili Put

SCIENTISTS SKEPTICAL OF BOMBARDMENTS

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. Shlvcly, Batosvllle, O., speaking of
Banner Salve, says: "I used it for p.Ies
and It has dono mc more good than nny
salvo 1 havo ever used and I have tried a
great many kinds."
