LAST PAYMENT MADE ON THE COLUMBUS Development Work' Being; Pushed on Several Propertlea Which Have Been Lying Idle tor Sev eral Tears. DEADWOOD. S. D., July 20. (Special.) The Jupiter is the name of a new mining company which was organized last week for tha purpose of working the Quftttn group of mines, a sals of which waa re cently made to eastern and Dead wood parties. It la the Intention of the new company to begin operations at once on tbe ground. Tbe offlcera of the new or ganization are: Frank T. Sanders, Colo rado Springs, president: K. O. Phillips, Deadwood, vice president; John T. Wat ton, Colorado Springs, treasurer; Burt Rogers, Deadwood, secretary. The com pany wilt break ground thla week for a mill on the mlllslte which was purchased with the ground on Blacktall gulch. Tha mill will be a wet crushing cyanlder with a dally capacity of 100 tons, but powered ao that It may be increased at any time to 500 tons, which Is the purpose of the company to do so soon aa It haa Its ground In good working ahape and producing. In the three claims which compose the group owned by the Jupiter company there Is an Immense amount of ore In alght. In the present workings 200,000 tona having al ready been blocked out, aasaya of which runa all tbe way from $10 to $40 per ton gold. Tha district In which the Oustln group la altuated la one of the producing districts of the Black Hills, and ore Is being shipped from the mines of It every day to the Deadwood reduction works, the Deadbroks, the Kicking Horse and a number of other well known mines con tributing to tha stream of ore which la pouring Into the treatment plants of this city dally. Tbe Klkhorn Railroad com pany has a road to the mouth of tbe gulch, and has aurveya made for lta ex tension to the mlnea here and In Garden City. Operatlona on thla branch will begin thla summer, and as it is but a short dis tance to tap all of the producing mlnea with a epur, It will not be long in build ing. Addition to Redaction riant. The Horseshoe Mining company Thursday laat awarded a contract to Deadwood people to build a 100-ton addition to Its present cyanide mill. Thla work will be carried on without interfering with the operation of the present plant, which haa a capacity of 100 tona a day and which haa been in suc cessful operation for the last four months. The company has started work on a cyanide plant which will be entirely separate from the one which It Is now operating and which it la adding to. This plant will have a dally capacity of 1,200 tona and It Is In tended to try and have it in operation be fore real cold weather aeta In. Besldea the ore which is being mined from the Horse shoe ground of a cyanide character, there la a vast amount of smelting ore taken out, the company being one of tba heaviest ship rert to the Oiraha amelting worka in tha Black Hills, aa well aa to the National Smelter at Rapid City, shipping to the lat ter works 125 tons of ore dally. Articles of Incorporation of the Columbus Consolidated Mining company have been filed with tha secretary of state. Tbe in corporators are Henry A. Mayham of Colo rado Springs, Asa Baldwin and Norma T. Mason of Deadwood. The company recently made the laat payment on the Columbus and other ground near Central City, two mllea above Deadwood. An account of the aale of thla ground waa published In The Bee a month or ao ago, and it waa one of tha most Important that haa been made In the North ern Hills In many years, aa It Involved the payment of nearly $500,000 and the transfer of ovsr 600 acrea of valuable, well devel oped mining land on the northern exten sion of tbe De Smet vein of the Homestake Mining company. Work on thla ground will be resumed at ence and tha ore bodies opened up for working. The annual meeting of tha Deer Lick Min ing company haa been held and the follow ing offlcera elected: President, J. W. Huff; vloe president, O. W. Nash; secretary-treaa-urer. E. F. Roberts. The company Is de veloping a group of claims cn Iron creek, west of Deadwood, and has a pretty fair prospect, which It hopes to open up into a mine. Nahaat Picking; Cp. NAHANT, S. D., July 20. (Special.) Work on tha Montana mine, which waa re sumed but a month ago, la progressing rapidly and the main shaft la now down 125 feet, and the miners "are working in ore. The ledge at thia depth la" twelve feet wide, and appears to be growing better aa it la being- aent down. Tha Montana la owned by B. C. 8mlth of Connecticut, aon of the late ex-Oovernor Smith of that atatc. who twelve years ago abut tha mine down after 'an unaucceasful attempt to aave the valuaa in the ore by crushing and amalga mation. Tha vein on tha aurfaca waa a free milling proposition, but as soon aa a lit tle depth was obtained on it tbe ore be came rebellious, and while It gave high assaya lta valuea could not be aaved by the process employed. The cx-governor. believing that ha had bought aomethlng which waa not worth having, shut the mine down, dismantled tha mill which had been erected on It and aold the machinery to different partlea. Since that time the mine baa been idle, but the successful treatment of similar ore by tha cyanide process since then haa Induced the ex-governor'a aon, B. C. Smith, to resume operations, which he haa with a large force of mlnera and other workmen under an efficient super intendent. Tba camp since operatlona on tho Mon tana have been resumed Is picking up and many mine owners have begun work on their propertlea and everything looka fa vorable tor a prosperous eumuier. There are a number of good prospects about tba camp which have been worked only suffi ciently to keep up ths annual aaaessment alnce the Montana cloaed down twelve years ago, . New Prospect on Elk Crock. GALENA, S. D., July 20. (Special.) Oreabong Brothera and asaoctatea are open ing up aJ good prospect on Elk creek, just one-halt mile south of tha Clover Leaf, which promises to develop Into a paying proposition. They have atarted work on a group of eight claims, located, it ia claimed along the atrlke of ths vein which hss made the Clover Leaf famous aa a producer for many yeara past. This property, strange aa It may seem, In a district which haa been gone over and worked for yeara, baa been located but a ahort time, and bow It haa been overlooked for ao long a time by the proapector ia a wonder. There has been a little work dona on tha ground, consisting of a abaft twenty-flve feet deep, which haa been aunk on the edge of tbe ore body, and one or two ope a euta on the ledge, where It la cxpoaed on tha aurfaca. Tba ore from theaa worklnga baa been aam pled and asssysd and tba results, while not atartllagly large, are very satisfactory, and give tba greatest of encouragement that with depth the ore body will carry good commercial valuea. Tha aamplea aaaayed, which have all been taken from ths aur faca, give raturna ranging from $1.25 to $8 per ton, and occasionally a piece of quarts la found which carries a little free gold. Ths ownere are now sinking on the main vein, which Is at tha aurtace thirty feet wide. The ore at present la free milling, but like all of the ore In thla dis trict will become rebellious aa depth la attained, and wltb the change the ore will probably get richer. The shaft which haa been started will be sunk aa far aa It can be without the aid of machinery, and ahould tha results prove to be as good aa Indications now show hoisting machinery will be placed on the shaft and tha work of sinking continued. The Clover Leaf company has started Its sawmill, and Is getting out lumber for a big flume with which it Intends to take tha water from Elk creek and bring It to Ita stamp mill. Most of tha water now used In the mill la. taken from tha mine, but the addition of forty ata-nps to tba mill haa rendered thla source of supply In adequate for tha running of the entire stamp capacity of the mill. Aa aoon aa the flume Is completed tha entire sixty stamps will begin dropping. The main ore body of the Clover Leaf, where struck by tbe new drift from the 600-foot level, Is prov ing to be aa extensive aa at tha aurfaca, while the ore valuea arc. It anything, just a trifle higher. Resume Work on Nelaoa Claim. Sinking has been resumed on the Nel son ground, on the divide between Bare Rutte and Elk creek and tha shaft will be sunk until It has reaphed a depth of 200 feet. Good prospects are being received from the ore taken from the shaft, which la following down on the vein. A road has been built connecting Ga'ena with the Portland mine In Ruby, owned by James Conrett, and a shipment of ore will be made this week. It la tha inten tion to erect a cyanide plant on this ground thla summer If tha necessary ar rangements can be made, for It la proving to be the richest proposition in the Ruby gulch district, the ore carrying free gold In quantities. An ere house, blacksmith shop and other buildings have been erected at the mine, the development of which Is being continued right along, and the vein in the main working tunnel getting stronger as it la cone in on. Partlea who have been' looking at the Cooper ground In Ruby have about decided to begin work, but will not build a plant this year. It haa been the intention 'lb ship to one of tha Deadwood treatment plants, and now that the railroad haa been completed to within a ahort distance of tba dump thla will probably ba done at once. Tba Monarch mine la continuing shipments of rich ore to Deadwood, but aa it la being worked by private parties tha valuea are not given out. That tha shipments are valuable ia known, aa tbe Monarch haa produced aome of the richest ore that haa ever been taken out of the Bare Butte dis trict. Bart Harris last Thursday made a ship ment of four carloads of rich ore from tha Sunday mine, in Strawberry gulch, to tba Imperial cyanide mill at Deadwood for treatment, and has several tona on the dump which ha will eh LP later. GOOD HARVEST IS IN SIGHT Wheat In South Dakota About Iteady to Cot and Promises a Die; Yield. SIOTJX FALLS, S. D.. July 20. (Soeclal.) Before many more days have passed wneat Harvest win be in progress in tho central and southern portions of South Da kota. All reporta agree that the outlook for an abundant yield could not be more promising. The ery hot weather during the past week waa exactly what was needed to ripen wheat and hasten the growth of corn. The growth ,of the latter waa very backward during the early part of the summer owing to the unusually cool and cloudy weather. , South Dakota haa, gen erally speaking, been very fortunate thla year. Parts of ths state which last year and aeveral yeara prior thereto suffered from a lack of sufficient moisture, this season have had abundance of rain. Notably la thia the case In tbe Eureka district, which embracea the territory in tha ex treme north central part of the atate, Juat east of the Missouri river and ex tending to the North Dakota line. Fear is expressed In soms parts of tha atate that tha farmers will not be able to aecura sufficient help to enable them to candle their cropa with the desired promptness. Howsver, thoussads of har vest handa are entering the atate and while a large percentage of them are genu ine hoboes, who do not want to work, there are enough honest and deserving workmen among the new arrivals to furnish a great deal of the help desired. Owing to the prosperoua conditlona In tha atate, the wagea of harvest hands will probably rule high. Hundreda of farmera already have engaged their harvest handa. Wagea will atart In at $1.75 and $2 per day, and may go to $2 per day before tha grain la shocked, depending largely upon weather conditlona and tha necesalty for promptly getting the crop out of tho way. SHORTAGE OF HARVEST HANDS Farmers In Vicinity of Pierre Offer Good Wastes la Hay and Grain Fields. PIERRE, 6. D., July 20. (Special.) Wheat harvest will begin In this part of tha atate within a few daya, and baying la now under full swing where the farmera and ranchera have been able to aecura help. Cropa will ba tba best for years and there la a demand for farm help, which cannot be secured. Oood wagea are waiting for a num ber of farm laborers in this part of tha etattf. One man In from the range a few days ago aald he would take out twenty men with him if he could aecura them, and guarantee every man work in bla Immedi ate neighborhood at from $40 to $45 per month, or in caaa be failed, to return them to this city at hla own expense.
