DEVELOPING CLAIMS ON CITY CREEK Additions Reins Mnde la Redaction I'lant Which Will .tM Mete rlMy to flntpst of the ninck lllll. DEADWOOl), 8. D.. April ?. (Fpeclal.) A bar o( bullion weighing 680 ounces and valued at a little over 17.000 hat Just been deposited In tbe Flm National batill of Deadwood, being the result of the laet two weeks' run at the Wasp No. i cysnlde mill on Yellow creek. This company Is one of the most regular bullion shipper In the Black Hills, making two shipments monthly. The last tmo weeks' run bas been consider ably Interfered with on account of the deep snow and bad weather, and It Is not ex pected that the mill can work with any regularity before May 1. The company pro poses to add fifty tons to the rapacity of the plant during the present year. The Spearflsh Gold Mining and Reduction company Is taking out ore from under ground stopea during the Inclement weather of spring Imtead of out of the open cuts In which It has been working for the last year and a half. A year ago at this time the company was compelled to shut Its plant down aa the or was being mined In the open and hauled half a mile to the mill with wagons. The indications of the proximity of good sized bodies of pay ore on City creek, be ginning at the city limits of Dead wood and extending- up the creek for a mile or more, are considered excellent by mining men who have been making examinations of the different, properties. On a claim belonging to the estate of the late J. A. Miller, Join ing the city on the west, there is aa out cropping of a strong vein of free-milling quartz on which some work has been done in the way of a seventy-flv-foot tunnel and sn open cut. The vein Is a true Assure, and Is opened up for a width of twenty five feet without locating the banging wall. It may be traced for several hundred feet across the ground from north to south and test pits have been put down at Intervals of every fer hundred feet. Ore taken from the face of the tunnel assays from $2.60 to $5 a ton. free-milling, and gold may be ob tained by pan test on any of the ore. The ground is about to be sold and if the deal goes through it will pass Into the hands of men prepared to thoroughly develop It. Developing- Hlddea Fortune. Nick Treweek has been engaged as con sulting engineer by the Hidden Fortune Gold Mining company, and the operations of the company In the future will be largely under his direction.. Mr. Treweek was for years mine foreman at the Homestake. having entire control of the work of mln ng ore and developing the property. He resigned his place with the Homestake to become superintendent of the Clover Leaf company when that concern pur chased the Uncle Bam mine at Perry. The Hidden Fortune company Is working In three places, driving the Baltic and Hood lebug tunnels, .and drifting with the ore in the Spokane property. Plana have beea decided upon tor the building of an ex perimental cyanide plant on Dead wood Gulch, a short distance above the mouth of the Baltic tunnel.- The company bas secured the Badger millalt and Intends to obtain water by crosscuttlng on bed rock. Jlirnlsnt wUx.ie jjf.lpo tons can psclty, and la intended to . treat the ores from the horizontal measure of the com pany's' ground. Some of this ore Is of exceptionally high grade and will be shipped to smelters. There are thousands of tons of low grade siliceous ore that will supply such a plant for a long period. The company already own a cyanide plant of fifty-tons capacity and this will probably also be used In milling the ore found near .the surface. The building of the plant on Dead wood gulch will not Interfere In any way with the plana of the company to ultimately erect a 200-stamp mill wl'h 1,000-ton cyanide annex, aa It will more readily enable the company to arrive at the most practical plan for handling the ore satisfactorily with cyanide. Ten of the new stamps hav been started In the mill of the Clover Leaf Mining com pany at the Uncle Sam mine, giving the company thirty stamps In operation. The shaft Is 620 feet deep, and the drift from the 600-frot level Is over 100 feet lone, running In the direction of the ore. The mill Is being supplied with ore taken frcm the 400-foot level, and there Is enough In Ight to run a 200-stamp mill for several years. The ledge la dipping away from the shaft, and the drift on the lower level will have to run about 400 feet to reach It MIbIb Coaspaar Bays Rsack, The Glob Mining company, whose mln Ing property Is situated at Lead, bas pur chased the McKay ranch on Little Rapid creek at Nahant, In Pennington county. The price paid for the ranch was $5,000, and it Is the Intention to use it for a mill sits and utilize the water for power and milling purposes. Little Rapid creek contain from 1.600 to 2,000 miners' Inches of water dur ing its lowest period, and owing to Its great fall It Is an Ideal stream for power. The Olobe Mining company bas been purchasing and developing a large tract of mining ground adjoining the townstte of Lead on the west. . Th company la composed largely of Red Oak, Ja.; capitalist, C.

The Rapid River Mining company has ab sorbed the property of the Big Bend Min ing compsny, situated on Rapid creek, fif teen miles west of Rapid City, paying $1. 100,000 for the property, Including the Peggy group of claims. The deed transferring the property has been placed on file In the office of the register of deeds st Rspld City, the Instrument bearing $.r4S."5 In revenue stamps. The Rapid River company is com posed of New York men, 11. M. Johnson being president and O. U. Wright, secre tary. The Big Bend Mining company was organized early In the year 1900. for placer mining on Rapid creek near Pactola. By extensive excavations the channel of the creek was changed and placer deposits that had previously been Inaccessible were reached. The company cleaned up $35,000 for Its summer's work, of which fully $20, 000 was net. A dispute arose among the stockholders of the company, and aa a consequence the property wa tied up In litigation last yesr. A valuable tot of mining machinery, consisting of stesm dredgers, pumps and conveyors, stsnds on the ground, and will be brought Into re quisition again this year. A good-sized camp has been started where the Rapid River company has commenced operations, and has been nsmed Placerville. The company I also the owner of valuable quartz claims In the same region. WASHING JACKSONIAN LINEN "oath Omaha Drnorrarr to Be I.aaadered by (he Omaha tie. . A washing of dirty linen In the Jack- onlan club promises to give the admirers of that association of democrats considerable chagrin shortly while lend ing comfort to the unterrlfied braves of the Douglas county democracy. Th wasli day is caused by the alleged action of certain members of the club. which glories In the name of Old Hlekorv at South Omaha during the municipal cam paign whic h closed with the triumphal elec tion of the republican candidate for mayor and the defeat of all but one of the can didates of the democrats for the school board. The peculiar thing about this inquisi tion, which is to prove the guilt or In nocence of a large number of South Omaha members of the club, is that it was in stituted two days before the last election and ' that the members under suspicion were being watched closely during tbst day by a committee appointed by the presi dent of the club on the preceding Sat urday night. The matter came up at the meeting of March 29, on charges preferred by South Omaha democrats, who complained to the club that the late mayoralty candidate was being bitterly opposed by some members of the club. The resolutions recited this fact and called for official Investigation. The committee was appointed; the names of this committee not mad public gen erally and the Investigation begun. It was expected that the committee would make a report Saturday night, but no report was forthcoming and it was then said that It would probably be a month before It would be made, as the committee desired to be sure before bringing formal charges of party disloyalty before the club. Members -of the club will not give the names of the persons under suspicion, but say that It Is probable that several will be disciplined. "These so-called respectable democrat are really doing more to injure the cause of purity In politics than they fere doing to help it," said prominent member of the club, "and we must show them the error of their way. In the first place when a man not satisfactory to them I nominated ther get out and make a fight at the polls. They then become known a bolters and the loyal members of the party, the majority of whom stand for clean politics, have o uie for them. From that time their support 1 a weakness, and the men thev champion are usually defeated. If thev would fight their battles for respectable politics In the party they might do some good wbll they now do nothing but harm. It I almost necessary that some shining examples be made and I guess It will be done." PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS. Thomas Kllpatrlck has gone to Chicago. Daniel Sully stopped at the Her Grand. W. A.

April 'i Th Dally Telegraph today announces that Emperor William and President Roosevelt both received sn In timation from the trustee of Mr. Rhodes' estate as to what the will proposed before that document was made public. The presi dent and emperor both Intimated to the trustee, according to the Telegraph, their pleasure at the approval of the legacies la friendly and gratified cablegrams. The Dally Mall this morning gives the opinion of some distinguished men con cerning the Rhode' icholarshlps. Mr. Moberly, canon of Chrlat Church col lege, epok In eloquent praise of the plan. It would, he said, bring picked men of the best type of Americans, rather than the wealthy Americans who had hitherto come to Oxford mainly for social advantages. Mr. Skene, bursar of Chrlct Church col lege, said If the yearly allowance of 300 was merely for the university eemester It would suffice to enable the scholar to live romfortsbly, but If It was Intended to Include vacation expenses, the bslance left for the university would render It In advisable that the beneficiary of the schol arship come to Christ church. Emphatic In Ills Prediction. Dr. McOrath, the popular provost of Queen's college, was emphatic in his pre dictions of future good arising from Ox ford from the Rhode' scholarships. He, said he was particularly struck with the wisdom of Mr. Rhodes In arranging that the gradual operation of the plan spread over three years "It will give the scholars." said Dr. MaGrath, "time to assimilate with the mass, and it will prevent undue herding with their own kin." Although the scholars will enter as un dergraduates, Dr. Magruder said that pos sibly he would be quite willing If his col leagues agreed, to place them In Queen's college on a level with Queen' own schol ars, provided the educational tests proved adequate. Dr. Esson of Merton. Prof. Smith, history tutor of Balllol and the others all wel corned th Idea most heartily. The dean of New college said he coosld ered 300 ample, even if the student bad to maintain himself the year round, but be said that Cecil Rhodes bad fallen Into the same error aa most educational benefactors in forgetting thnt the university needed an endowment quite as much as the scholars. Will GItc Oiford Good Athlete. Canon Weldon of Westminster Abbev and late bishop of Calcutta, also expressed ap proval of Mr. Rhodes' plan. Dr. Stcvensou of Exeter college said h thought the plan would bring Oxford good atnietcs and enable the university to achieve tbe much desired oblect nf v.n. quisntng Cambridge In athletics. The Dally Chronicle also oubllahea the opinion on tnis subject of Lord Strath cona and Mount Roval. the Canadian Mn commissioner in London, snd the Anstra . - llan agent general, all of whom concur In Cecil Rhodes' splendid Idea. A member of Oriel college approved Mr. Rhodes' ntin especially as one likely to lead to other Deneracttons. particularly from America This opinion also referred to the fart that Mr. Rhodes' plan would prove expensive to tbe university, which he said was already SOOT. Effect Will Be Far-Rear bluer. Th Times In an editorial on the recep tion of Mr. Rhode' plan abroad says: "It 1 unnecessary to discuss the Pol It leal aspect of the scheme, aa' it indicated Mr. Rhodes' aspirations for a better under standing between England, America and Germany, but It canaot be doubted that the effect of the change on Oxford itself will be far-reaching, and it la hoped Invigorat ing. The influx of Americans and German will tend to quicken tbe Intellectual life." Owing to the absence of the most of tb authoritative men from Oxford at the pres ent moment, says the Times, it will be Im possible to get aa expression of university opinion on the subject now, but doubtlessly tbe trustee have many important point to decide under the large discretion left them. The Time considers that if Lord Rose- bery would accept the presidency of the trust the decision would be generally wel comed, and says that he Is by far tbe best of the executors for that office.

HARVARD MAN UNDER PENALTY Frans, First Baseman, Is Debarred Oae Year for Profes sionalism. CAMBRIDGE. Mass., April 7. O. G. Frans. first baseman on the Harvard base ball team last year, haa been declared In eligible for the nine this year by the Har vard Athletic committee on grounds of professionalism. Since the Cutis affair In foot ball last year, the members of Har vard teams have been asked to consider their records carefully in order that no such state of affairs should again exist. Frans wrote to the committee stating that In the summer of lRVj he Dlaved on a semi-professional team in- Wlnlleld, Kan., near his home. He played three weeks and received about VX out of which he paid his expenses. - The Wlntiem tennis toured the country and, Fran spent more than th $."6 he had received. This clears him technically of rofeislonall8m, but the Harvard committee has decided to debar him from Harvard athletics for one year. As was done In (he rase of the other two summer base ball players, Story and Murphy, this year will, count as one four- piayintf years. Fran is one of the leaders In Harvard Youna Men's Christian association and sings In the glee club. The loss of him weakens the Harvard nine very much. COAST LUMBERMEN PROTEST Complain of Hedaced Rate hy Minne sota aad Wisconsin Mill a Vafalr. TACOMA, Wash., April 7.

They de clare that such discrimination will shut Pa cific coast lumber and shingles out of a great number of towns In Minnesota, Wis consin and other eastern states. They have accordingly protested to railroads, and an appeal ontbe subject was mailed three day ago to Chairman Knapp of the Inter state Commerce commission at Washing ton.

IN THE EYES OF OUTSIDERS Llaeola School Ma'am Write Dowa Her Observation la City of Omaha. A Lincoln achoolma'am ha discovered Omaha. Bh got on th steam car a week or so ago, and after traveling miles and miles in an easterly direction finally got off at a place where there were a lot of big buildings and a lot of people moylng about, and of this discovery she uttered her mind to the extent of a column In a Lincoln pub lication. To this she signed th nam "(Mr.) Franct Prey." Among her minor observations are these: Things are on a larger aoale in Omaha than In Lincoln. Tb garden ar larger; the Icehouse are larger. She resumes: They feed cattle by the hundreds snd have a wonderful sheep ranch In hailing distance of the city. here we have only one kind of odor from our West Lincoln yards, the different packing houses here vie with each other as to strength and variety. Everybody Is busy, not In a com fortable, easy way, but with a rush. Where we have one saloon they have whole streets of them. They tell me If I am in any doubt as to what business is In a building I am aafe In calling It a saloon and letting It go at that. Old landmarks are plentiful yet, though new house are crowding out li old, but It will b a long time at tbe prev ent rat before this will be called a beauti ful city. There I plenty of enterprise and music, and food achouls, but ail these we hav at home. The most Impressive thin Is the work, the working man anil his dinner pall, onn after the t o'clock whistle blows they pour out of the buildings, a perfect army of them, compared to which our few work em are unnotlceable. They add much to the prosperity of this city and I can not help wishing we had more of them. There are some things down here thst Mil mv soul with envy. Not the big building, the stork yards, the odora or the saloons, but their parks, which are even now beau tiful, the sight of the bluffs, the rlvr Itself, with Its groups of fishermen along the banks. Its many boats drifting lastly slong. Its blar trees hanging over the water, whose boiling, surging, everchsnglng sur faee gives life and plitures.jueness to the whole scene. We may some time have parks, we are young yet. and have room to grow, but we can never, never have the river. STORY OF A BLIND MAN'S CHILD Dtifblrr of aa Orajaa Grlader, Utrlekea vrlth Satallpoi, Tell Her Mmple Tale. Marguerite Margery Blsdorf. aged 12. daughter of John Blsdorf, the blind organ grinder who has been a familiar figure on the more frequented street of Omaha for several month, was taken to tbe police station at 9:30 Sunday night, where tt was discovered that she had tbe smallpox. She had gone to a restaurant for her sup per when her condition first attracted at tention. After Police Surgeon Borglnm ex amined her he directed that she b sent to the pesthouse, where she wa taken last night in carriage. Her quaint. Ingenious manner and frank ness won much sympathy, and when she burst Into tear and said her fatber waa at the corner of Fourteenth and Douglas streets with no one to take htm home, im mediate interest waa taken In th man, who is 60 year old. The little girl wa greatly relieved when ahe learned her father knew where she wa and all about her trouble, and that be would be cared tor, too. "Papa I very good to me," she said. "I hare been going to tbe German Catholic school on Douglas street. We live In room No. 7 at Z18M North Sixteenth etreet. We eat at restaurant. My mother live in Watervllle, Ia., with one of my sister, who Is married. I haven't seen her since last November. I stay with papa and have traveled a great deal. We were last in Omaha when the exposition was here. I don't remember Just now the city we wer In before w came here this last time. We were In Buffalo, N. Y., at the exposition there, but they would not let papa stay, o we left." "How do you travel?" wa asked. "Oh, we ride In the cars. Papa pay our way. I remember we wer in Chicago for good while. He always takes good care of me and arrange ao that I can go to school, or if I can't do that be gets a room some where near nice people that I can visit. I do not stay on the street with him, but I like to help him get home. He Is away all day unless the weather Is bad, and tome time make as much aa 13 a day. He al ways, when he is playing the organ, give me money to get my meals, and when he isn't playing the organ we eat together, and I think that' nice." "How did he lose his eyesight?" "Papa Is a wagonmaker and the paint In some way nearly made htm blind. No, he Isn't altogether blind, but as be I doing all he can to get his eye cured he must not strain them. He every -day use medi cine or paste, or something to cure his eyes. He hopes tbey will be all right. hope so, too. We wanted to go home to Watervllle, la., soon, but now I don't know when It will be. I am afraid be will not be able to take care of himself." Marguerite said nothing showing she waa apprehensive about herself. Sergeant Hud son took th old man to hi room and the 12-year-old .victim at smallpox was hurried away to the peatbouse. MAIL MEN WANT VISITORS Omaha Letter Carrier Kot Pleased with Official Route to Desver, The Omaha Letter Carrier' association Is troubled over the action of the National association In its selection of the official route from Chicago to the national con vention, which will be held this summer In Denver. It was tbe expectation of the local union to entertain the national of ficers and tbe delegatea enroute to the convention for a day In Omaha, but at the last meeting of the executive committee a line of road from Chicago to Denver through Kansas City was designated a the official route, and it is said that rate very much reduced were granted by that road. The Omaha association at It meeting Sat urday night appointed a committee to take th matter up and an attempt will be made to bring a number of delegates through Omaha In spite of tbe official designation of the Kansas City route. This committee will try to secure rate equally low from th Chicago-Omaha roads and then will aend Invitations to all eastern and northeastern associations, inviting tbem to visit tbl city and spend one day enroute. By thl mean they expect that many of tbe dele gate will pas through Omaha and that the local association will have an oppor tunity to entertain them.

T. We have a good, old common-sense medicine for those subject to malaria. The sufferer from malaria is too apt to dose himself with constantly increasing amounts of quinine, which, while it gives relief, is very injurious to the system, as all who have taken it to any considerable degree have found out to their cost. The way to cure malaria is to drive it out of the sys temand at the same time to so strengthen and tone yourself up that malaria will find you immune in the future. The way to bring about this happy condition of affairs is to take Smith's Green Mountain Renovator, EVERY SUFFERER FROM MALARIA SHOULD TRY IT. IT IS POSITIVELY GUARANTEED. This medicine is conceded by all who have taken it to be the one sovereign .pure for this much dreaded dis ease. This isn't a new medicine, although its name may be new to you. On the contrary, it is very old, having been for many years the standard medicine of Vermont, where its home is. Now a company has taken hold of it, appointed reliable agents throughoift the country and placed it within the reach of everybody. The poisons of malaria, when they once get into the system, must be completely driven out before perma nent relief can be hoped for. Smith's Green Mountain Renovator never fails to do this if taken regularly and persistently. All the noxious, poisonous, malarial taint will be completely removed from the blood, and you will be permanently cured. This is not only by far the best way, but, in fact, the only way to cure malaria. SMITH'S GREEN MOUNTAIN RENOVATOR will not only drive out malaria, but it is a tonic, strength builder and general cleanser and renovator of the entire system. We sell it with the strongest possible guarantee your money back if you are not benefited. BOSTON STORE DRUG DEPT. SOLE AGENCY. THE CEE FOR Kidtiey Remedy, Swamp- 701 E. St., P"ii?''
