MINING IS THE BLACK HILLS
Hidden Fortune it Putting in Mill with
Several Sorel Feature!.
ORE IN TREATMENT HANDLED BY GRAVITY
Placer Mining on Rapid Creek Tnkri
n Boom nnd Good Results
Obtained by Ise of
Mnchlnes.
OEAPWOOD, 8. D., June 15. (Special.)
Work on the Hidden Fortune company'
t!g mill was started laat Thursdsy. the
contract fir building it having been let
to the Colorado Iron Works company.
The nlll will be In many Instances an
Innovation in treatment plants, as the
following description of It will show:
The mUI will have sixty stsmps for wet
crushing cyanHe treatment and will be
placed oo the outcropping bedrock of the
southerly alope of the bill In Whltewood
canyon one and one-half tnllea below Dead
wood, a substantial and ideal lite for a
gravitation mill, and aa nearly automatic
In operation aa possible to conatruct a
quarts mill. The ore will be delivered
Into railroad btna by the cara, over which
the car tracks will be laid, which bins
will bave a capacity of three days' supply
of ore for the mill. The ore will be drawn
from these bins and go first to the crush
ers' and fall by gravitation through the
pulverization and leaching process from
floor to floor and tank to tank, the refuae
pulp relieved of Its value finally landa In
Red creek. Arrested at times during Its
progress for chemical action the material
will pass downward automatically without
elevation or rehandllng from start to finish.
I Compressed Air.
The moat Important Innovation In this
plant will be the introduction of com
pressed air through extensive piping of the
leaching and slime tanks for the double
purpose of agitating and oxygenating the
material. The bottom of the tanka will be
laid with pipe with one-sixteenth of an
inch aperture in every three Inches aquare
for the passage of the compressed air into
the pulp. Two and one-half pounds proa
sure per square Inch will be used In the
leaching tanks and thirty pounds pressure
in the slime tanks. The slimes by over
flow from the large leaching tanka will be
conveyed by launders te the slime vats,
which will be charged with a strong cya
nide solution. The same tanka are twelve
feet In diameter and sixteen feet deep for
the reason that the slimes, containing but
one part of solid material to nine parts
of water will concentrate and settle to
better advantage In a deep vat. The slime
tanka will be placed in a series and quick
agitation under thirty-pound pressure of
air causes an overflow of the slimes pass
ing from one tank to the next In the
aeries. When the slime tanks are ont
third full of sand the leaching is finished
and the vata are decanted, the solution
being piped to the gold tanks for precipi
tation of the values and the aand sluiced
Into the tailings ptle.
Sieve Machinery at Cslamblaw
ROCHFOKD, S. D.. June 15 (Special.)
The Columbia Mining company, the ground
9f which la altuated a short distance from
this camp. Is making arrangements to In
stall some new machinery on Its ground,
An air compresser plant will be erected at
once and power drills put In. The working
shaft bars now reached a depth of seventy
feet and operations will be continued from
this level end the shaft continued for a
depth of several hundred feet. The" pres
ent workings are In ore and the shaft will
continue to follow down the vein. When a
sufficient depth has been acquired stations
will be established and the work of stoplng
out Ore begun. The ore la a free-milling
proposition and the valuea which It carries
are of a good commercial grade. The vein
la an extensive one and the ore Is said
to be of an average richness, and so lay
Ing as to be very easily worked.
The Double-Standard, altuated near thla
ramp. Is also working a number of men
and of late has been taking out a pretty
fair grade of ore, which Is being piled until
such time as the company shall erect
mill of its own to treat it, the greater part
of It being of too low a grade to ship for
any distance or by the present transporta
tion faellltlea. Scattering through the vein
however, are numeroua rich atreaka, and
tbla character of ore is being separated
from that of the lower grade, and shipments
-'. it may soon be made. The property Is
jowever, a big low grade proposition and
like all other mines of thst character, Its
ere must be treated at the ground and on
a large acale to be made a paying proposi
tion.

Cleanup of the company's cyanide plant on
Johnson gulch. The cleanup weighed "in
tne neighborhood of $14,000. The mill I
running steadily on ore from the company'
mlnea, which, alnce good weather has set
In. has no difficulty In supplying all that
la needed to keep the plant going.
A California company has recently Invaded
the district In the neighborhood of the
Epearfish company's grouud and now hold
an option on ISO acres of some of the best
ground In the district. .Included In the
ground bonded is that owned by Starner
Bros.. Doyle SIgler and the Uls'er group
of clalme. It is all good property and fr rn
U haa been shipped some very rich ore. On
all of the groups there are good exposures
of ore. which Uave received considerable
development, and there is enough in eight
to keep a large-slied plant running contin
ually for years. It U said that the new
company wilt put a force of men at wo.-k
opening up the known ore bodies and en
deavor by so doing to get a better idea of
their extent. The ground Is bonded for a
high figure, aa It haa always been loiked
on as some of the best in the district.
Allen Broa. will start up their thirty
ton cyanide plant on tike tailings dump of
the old Iron Hill mine at Cerbonale this
week.

Intended to cut the main vein In the
Wheeler Hill claim, has alresdy cut one
small vein, from which has been taken
some very fine specimen rock. The vein
cut is about three feet in width, and It will

Is completed.
tnrrraira Force at Penobscot.
GARDEN CITY. S. D.. June In. (Spe
cial. ) The Penobscot company last Friday
Incrraeed the force of men working on Its
ground, putting seven'y additional names
on the payroll". The company has begun
gradlne for Its new plant, the machinery
for which la arriving every day. This
addition to the force of the Penobscot
has rendered It hard to secure accommoda
tion In the camp, so there Is quite a littl.
building boom on at the present. The
company is driving away In the drifts on
the Realisation, and baa within the last
few days stni' k another big shoot of ore,
which carries hif'i values. The new hoist
la almost ready for work, and when In
operation will greatly facilitate work at
the abaft on this group. There Is being
quite a lot of good ore taken out of the
Penobscot tunnel, which will be available
for treatment as soon as the mill Is ready
to run on It. Mansger and General Su
perintendent Byrns returned from the east
Wednesday, and alnce his arrival things
have begun to move faster and the mill
will be In operation long before the time
contracted.
There Is some talk of extending the Elk-
horn railroad to the camp, which can
easily be done, the road coming by way of
Blacktall gulch. Should thla be done this
season it would be the cause of making
this one of the best camps In the Hills,
for there are a number of mines which
would then be worked for their ore, as an
easy way to get It to market would then be
provided. It is aald that the line will
be extended up Blacktail to the mines of
the Imperial company, and should this
be done, then the distance to this camp
would be short and the route an easy one.
There are at least a doxen mlnea In this
district which would ship.
Placer Mlnlna; on Rapid Creek.
PACTOLA. S. D., June 15. (Special.)
Placer mining Is proving to be a big suc
cess on Rapid creek and the firms now at
work on a large scale will surely make
big cleanups this summer. The Big Bend
compsny Is putlng through an immense
amount of gravel every day, while the
Sherman claim, on which a large placer
mining machine has been but lately built,
la also getting where It can handle vast
qusntltles of gravel. They are taking the
gravel from the top down to bedrock ana
making no pretense of strlppng in many
places, for It all carries values. At some
places whers bedrock has been exposed
the gravel was found to be even richer
than waa looked for, and good wages could
be made on it by .panning. In working the
ground a great deal of black aand la met
tth. Thla sand baa heretofore been
looked on aa worthless, snd at times a
nulaance, but assaya of it show that it
carries valuea of about $7 to the ton gold.
The sand ia now being saved and run
throuxh the machine with good results
although all of the gold in it cannot oe
saved by this process. The gold met with
on bedrock on Rapid creek is very cosrse
and of a much better quality than that
taken from the rich diggings of Deedwood
and Gold Run gulches in the northern
Hills, running about IIS 50 to the ton.
while much of the latter never went higher
than $14. The Johnson. Big Bend and
Sherman claims are the principal onea now
working In this vicinity, but there are
several other parties putting in machines.
which they will bave in operation before the
season Is over, and the output or placer
old from this camp will be a big one,
Moat of the ground is being worked by
smsll companies.

to an action of the board of trustees in
their annual meeting.
It la reported that one of the members ft
the board, whese son attends the univers
ity, objected to hsving him under the com
mand of cadet officers and succeeded In
having the board do away with the drill
requirements, making It voluntary, which
amounts to killing the discipline and, in
fact, the military organization.
It la said that several of the board, when
ssked whst was done, couid not tell, re
membering merely that some action waa
taken. Some profess to believe that this
member of the board hustled the motion
through while the board waa busy and
when unthinking they voted with the ma
jority, or not at all.
Military work for the last year has been
a success, rescuing its climax at tne en
campment at Mtlford In May. The cadet
officers have labored long and patiently
and the department was coming to the
front rapidly.
With the work merely voluntary on the
part of the students there will be no Incen
tive to begin the work st the first of the
year, when It must start out briskly In
order to work up enthusiasm along the line.
Those who bave been Instrumental In
building up the work are highly Indignant
that the board should allow themselves to
be led into tesrlng down the department
without at least an attempt at an investi
gation into the success and efficiency of the
work.
NEVER HEARD0F THE STORY
Administration Officials Stranajers to
Rnmor of Bribing; Genernl
Gomes.
WASHINGTON, June 13. Regarding a
story emanating from New Orleans that
General Gomes received a $25,000 bribe
from the administration to withdraw from
the Cuban campaign, thereby permitting
the election of Estrada Palma, It was
stated tonight by an official close to Pres
ident Ruufcevelt that he bad never before
beard of it.
Secretary Root thought the story was un
doubtedly an exaggeration of General
Wood's action In granting a pension to
General Gomes.
The statement that General Wood had
paid General Gomel money to withdraw
from the Cuban convention was absurd on
Its face, aald Mr. Root, as General Gomex
wss one of President Palma'a warmest
friends.

WARSHIP'S PEACEFll. END.
The Macedonia, Cnptared by Deentnr,
How a Vlllane Hotel.
New York City's absorption of its suburbs
has been fatal to the race of hardshell,
brlne-encrusted clam diggers that have for
300 years or more peopled the little dot of
sand In Long Island sound, one mile long
and a half wide, known as City island,
which has recently been swallowed up by
the great metropolis. One by one the
hunters of the bivalve are being laid away
in the little cemetery overlooking the quiet
waters of the sound. Those who bave not
yet succumbed to the hand of time, says
the New Y'ork Sun, sre gradually drifting
away, seeking other fields, or are accepting
the gold of associated capitalists who bave
within a month past selected the island as
a fruitful field for speculation or see In It
golden return for Investment.
Only a few steps fiom the sandy shore
where the clam digger pursues his voca
tion, and in the loneliest part of the island,
stands the Macedonian hotel. When the
wreck of the famous British frigate and
prison ship Macedonia waa bleaching its
hulk on the shores of Hart's Island, di
rectly across the water from City island, a
native conceived the idea of putting the
solid and age-protected timbers to good use.
With boats and asslstanta he made many
trips to the old hulk, gathering the timbers
and towing them to the beach in front of a
piece of property which he owned close
beside the shore.
From the wreckage he erected what has
ever alnce been known aa the Macedonian
hotel and on ita side are inscribed these
words, which tell the history of the famous
old bouse:
This House is the remains of
the English frigate Macedonia.
captured on Sunday, October 25.
1112. by the United States frigate
United States, commanded by
Captain Stephen Decatur, U. 8. N.
This action was fought In lati-
tude 24 deg. north, longitude 29
deg. 30 mln. west. That Is about
miles northwest of the Cape
de Verde Islands, oft the west
coast of Africa, and towed to
Cow Bay in 1874.
The main room, used as a bar, on the first
floor, la framed of the heaviest timbers from
the old ship. To many of them are still
fastened the old books to which the sailors
of ths British fighting ship hung their
hammocks. An old cupbosrd from the
galley of the ablp serves as a bar and the
cabin used by the petty officers la used aa
the place wherein mine host of tbe Mace
donian keeps bis stock of ripe old liquor
for dispensation among hia customers and
the clam diggers who work along the beach
In bis neighborhood.
On tbe second floor la a "music room"
that la none other thsn the main cabin of
the Macedonia. In removing tbe lumber
from the ship those who did the work took
pains to preserve each piece and place it
In ita proper place in tbe Macedonian hotel.
The old 18x24-lncb Iron barred windows on
the man of war were carefully preserved
and these now let In tbe light to the music,

TACT ASD HONESTY,
Secret of a Woman's Prosperity In tho
Korth west.
Mrs. J. G. Laughlin cf Seattle, formerly
of Denver, ia now in Denver to place her
daughter. Miss Daisy Sharp. In a dramatic
school. She bss soother daughter. Miss
Winnie Sharp, who is now receiving a
musical education at Seattle. Both are
young women yet in their teens, ambitious
and pretty, and their friends say they have
bright futures ahead of them. 1
When Mra. Laughlin left Denver eighteen
years ago she was Mrs. Sharp. About five
years ago ahe sustained heavy losses
through others. TheBe re-verses set her
thlDking. Why could she net attend to her
own affairs and taks up a regular line of

businebs. which she knew from previous
transactions through sgents. Hiring an
office man, she hung out a sign one day
announcing "Mrs. J. G. Laughlin, real es
tate." The fact of a woman in business
there was an advertisement of tbe best
kind. She waa tbe most talked-about
woman in the city of Seattle.
In less thsn two years her nams became
well known on tbe Pacific coast ss ths
(rest railroad king, Colli! P. Huntington.
Meantime she waa accumulating commis
sions sod wealth thst outstripped aay com
petitor. Sb then added advertising to ber
list and aided materially In letting ths
world know about the new Eldorsdo In the
Klondike country. Of this northwestern
gold district she, being a draftsman, made
many maps of the country from tbe gov
ernment's surveys snd sold them to ths
steamship lines and the railroad magnates.
Five years of active and energetic work
barn gives ber not only a reputation of na-
tlonal scope as a business woman, but
brought her in returns that have run up
her wealth little short of seven figures.
She represents several of the largest gold
mines In the Klondike country, aa well as
In Washington. Oregon, Idaho and Califor
nia. It was only recently that abe picked
up a good commission on the sale of one
mine In Oregon. About the same time she
sold 20,000 telegTaph poles for a railroad
Into the Klondike. She seems to be a
woman Midas.
"Secret of my success? Well, I don't
know, unless It be In bard work, pluck and
tact, combined with honest dealing, prompt
attention to my clients' affairs and 'com
mercial nerve," she said.
"At first I was timid, but now experience
has taught me to go out after business and
to get it. I never fall In my purpose. In
common parlance, if you will excuse It, I
waa 'easy' at first, losing business and
money. It ia different now. I can tell a
piece of real estate, promote a mining deal
or dispose of a mine, close a land sale, or
even float a railroad about aa well aa the
next one. It Is business, you know.
"There is no reason why a woman abould
not succeed Just aa well as a man in cer
tain lines of business, if she makes up her
i mind to it, and provided, too, that she haa
some ability to carry out her scheme. I
am not a new woman, but simply a plain.
every-day bualneaa womsn. Of course, I
have an ambition to do what I attempt and
do it well. Tills Is one of the secrets of

success that I bave made affect me In the
least."
WASHIXU BLIE FOR THE HAIR.
It Is Said to Remove the Yellow Tint
from Locks Taralsg Grny.
Grsy bslr is an ordeal to the average
woman under the moat favorable elrcum
stancea, says the New York Sun, and ahe
probably finds In It little that Is to be pal
Hated. On tbe other band, most women
would probably not mind it so much if they
were certain that all their balr would be
come white Immediately and not remain
for several years In the yellowish, mixed
stage that cornea to all women who have
not black hair. It Is tbe problem of getting
their hair white all at once that troubles
most women.
Borne of the Paris hairdressers are aald
to be able to make the hair quite white
when once It beglna to turn. Tbe process
Is expensive under any circumstances.
A remedy has been found wblch has been
successful in the esse of most of ths women
who have tried It. It la not expensive, for
the process consists In giving the hair a
bath of washing blue.
The blue must not be too strong, but must
be liberally mixed with water. If one bath
does not bave the effect of taking all tbe
yellow out of the balr, tbe operation should
be repeated.
In a day or two after tbe bath of blue
haa been given the yellow will begin to fade
from tbe balr and in a short time it will
be quite white.
VALIK OP HEARTS.
A Maiden Forlorn Thinks fSO.OOO the
Proper Flcnre.
When a bankrupt finds thst among bis
creditors is a woman who thinks that he
own her $50,000 In return for affections
which have been delivered but not paid
for, he may b excused If be regards hi
fate aa a particularly cruel one. There Is
an additional reason fur commiseration
the did Is 60 years old and, therefore
at a time of life when breach of promise
sulfa should be In the nature of tender
recollections rsther than of present diffi
culties. It Is this combination of untoward
circumstances, relates the Chicsgo Tribune,
which is proving almost too much for Mr.
A. E. Crocker, miner, of the far west.
Miss Evelyn Stedeker claims in the first
place that Mr. Crocker owes her $367 for
dinners, breskfaata, umbrellas, opera
glasses, s hair brush and a collar button.
This 4367 Is ssid to be tbe actual value of
the articles with wblch she provided him.
When It comes to her affections, however.
it becomes clesr how much more vsluable

can be named. All tbe dinners, break-

fasts, opera glasses, hair brushes, snd col
lar buttona that Mr. Crocker got were worth
only that peltry $367. The heart he got
waa worth $50,000 at a conservative esti
mate. It is not set forth to be an unusu
ally good heart. It la simply an average
fair heart, as hearts go. Tet $50,000 Is what
It la tagged at. What the heart of a Deade
mona might be worth at the same rate It
would be hard to say. Prince Henry'e heart
wss worth a good deal. "Sirrah," aald tbe
Prince, "did you aay that I owed you a
thousand pound?" "A thousand pound,
Hal." said Falstsff. "a million! Thy love
la worth a million. Thou owest me thy
love!" Miss Stedeker does not go quite
so blgh. Her ambition halts. Fifty
thousand dollars Is her limit. Her tranala-
tion of love into money betraya
rather low opinion of love. "This salva
tion." said a recently converted farmer,
haa meant a lot to me. If a man were
to give me a hundred dollars stratgnt
down for it, I wouldn't take the offer."
Mias Stedeker aeems to be a person of
that same kind If her affections are
worth anything they must be worth a aum
compared with which $50,000 la nothing.
The fact that she soars no higher tban
$50,000 la somewhat against her. In fact.
If. any woman undertakes to set a money
value on her regard for a man or a man's
regard for her, the public feels the in
congruity of the thing and displays a
complete lack of sympathy for ber. Bil

In that way need not complain If the
world is amused rather than agitated. If
It la going to be tbe usual thing, how
ever, for women to adopt such tactics they
ought In all fairness to tell a man before
he begins to woo them Just bow much their
affections are quoted at. A man might
be more careful with a million-dollar heart
tban he would with a ten-cent one. There
ought to be a perfect understanding on
both aides.
CIRCVMSTAXTIAL EVIDRHCB.
Hove n Toons; Womnn Lost Her Fnlth
In It Wholly.
"Never again will I put faith In circum
stantial evidence," said one of New York's
many independent young women, quoted by
the New York Tribune. "Never! Never!"
"You apeak as would a person who had
been wrongly convicted by circumstances,"'
remarked ths man.
"Well, you don't know what a narrow
cscspe I had," ahe replied.
Of course, he Insisted on the story.
"It waa last Sunday In the park, and
Jane waa with me," ahe began. "We en
tered from the plaza. Intending to take a
long walk. A brown-eyed Italian boy cry
ing 'Pansles' attracted us, and I purchaaed
a richly colored bunch. Tbey were all
purple, and deep black, the rich, uncom
mon kind.
"We finally reached the Casino for '
luncheon, and I offered to divide tbe
flowers with Jane. I bad noticed her cast
ing a longing glance at tbe pansy box wblch
stood near our table on the porch. I un
wound the tinfoil and was dividing tbe
flowers when up rushed a waiter.
" 'It's $5 fine for each Cower you pull,' he
aald. gruffly.
"I simply glared at blm. Jans told him
I had bought the flowers.
" 'I know you people,' he saldj 'You
pulled them.' He pointed to the box near
our table. The pansles were sll black and
purple. The common yellow or mixed
colored flowers were in boxes out pf our
reach. Ths insolent wslter hurried off for
tbe besd waiter.
" 'Did you aee them pull the flowers?
this worthy asked. His tone left no ques
tion In our minds aa to bis doubt of our
guilt.
" 'No,' replied the wslter, 'but they
pinched them, all right.'
" 'Too bad you didn't catch them at It,'
said tbs head waiter, 'but it won't do much
good to bave them arrested unless you
did.' "
"Rather exciting," remarked the man,
when shs paussd.
"It was a case of too much circumstantial
evidence," said the young woman. "The only
rebuttal evidence we had was the tinfoil
which csme around the stems, and the wind
blew that away Just after I hsd removed
