DEADWOOD. ft. D.. Oct. 19. (Special.)
B. I Lomti, general passenger eg-nt of
the Union Pacific Railroad company; R. C.
Patterson of Otnaba. H. B. Wellcr of Omaha,
and F. L. 'Larson of Fremont left Deadwood
for Omaha Tuesday evening; after spending
several days In the Block Hills examining
mining property In which they are Inter
ested. The gentlemen are directors and
officers of the Oold Hill Mining company,
tbn ground of which Is located In the Rag
iced Top district, close to the Eleventh
Hour group from which so much rich ore
la at present bring shipped, and adjoining
the holdings of the gpearflsh company. The
gentlemen were very well satisfied with the
work that bas been done on the ground, and
before leaving for Omaba gave It out that
arrangements would at once 'on made for
the erection of a $50,000 cyanide mill on the
(roup of mines which the company owns.
The Gold Hill has received some very
extensive development, the recent work
done being the sinking of a large working
abaft to the quartiite, and on this contract
finding jk deposit of ore, but bow extensive
this ore deposit la has not as yet been de
termined,' or the shaft has only reached
the quartiite, and no opportunty has yet
fceei. bad for exploration. The outlcok Is
Bloat encouraglog, however, and every In
dication points to a largo and rich shoot
of ore being found in this place. On tho
urfaco the Gold Hill people have the same
ore shoots which are being worked so suc
cessfully by the Spearfleh, the Deadwood
Btandard and the Eleventh Hour com
panies, and have done conMderab'e work on
them, with the result that they have dem
onstrated that there Is an Immense amount
of ore on the property.
Higher Values Lower Dowi.
The ore on the lower contact, however,
carries higher values than it does on the
tipper contact, and should the ore body
which Is' disclosed in the 800-foot shaft
which has Just been completed prove to be
as extensive as the management has every
reason to believe it will, this fact of Itself
la sufficient to warrant the erection of the
plant which the company bas in contempla
tion. Work In. .the deep shaft has been
Abandoned for the present, or until the cora
tanv can - Install mnra hnil.,. nn-... - .4
replace the present piplnfc in the shaft with j
ix-mcn pipe,, and so give it a greater
pumping capacity, tho present facilities for
keeping the water out of the mine not
being sufficient. Another 100-horse power
boiler has been delivered at tho shaft and
ta now being put in place, and when thla
la done work of drifting on the contact
where it la met with In the bottom of the
shaft will be commenced and continued until
the ore shoot-which is known to exist there
la thoroughly explored. The' company bas
a good hoist on the ground, and will install
an air-compressor plant and put in power
drills, ao that the work will proceed at a
rapid rate. :Xbp 300-foot shaft for aeventy
feet of ita depth followed down a amall
Vertical of rich "ore. but which at that dis
tance from, the surface pitched out of the
shaft, and Superintendent Goodman, who
Is In charge of the operations, believes that
thla vertical is again coming In, and that a
short drift will again catch It. and when it
la met with that It will prove to be a
large sttootjef 'ore on the flat formation',
and that ,'fb.eV vertical Is but ' an off-shoot
from it leading , to- the surface. Superin
tendent Ooolman accompanied the directors'
and officers ot .the company to Omaha, and
While there will -.meet with them and then
decide upon the future development to.be
prosecuted on the ground, and the character
of mill to be erected.
The discovery of ore on tbe quartiite in
ths Oold Hill shaft la a big thing for the
Iron Creek and Ragged Top districts, for
heretofore all of the successful mining In
both bas been done on shoots of ore which
are found on the surface, end which, while
very extensive and all carrying very fair
commercial value, are not ao rich as those
found on the lower contact. Thla Is the
first time that quartiite baa been, reached In
the district, and the discovery will be the
cause of extensive development. There aro
Several large companies in this vicinity
and all of them have ample means to take
tip the work ot sinking to quartiite on
their ground. . .

Ad Interesting illustration of what mod

It has only been lately that the high
grade ores of tbe Hills hsvs received at
tention, and the small rich veins worked
extensively, ao that they figure In their
product but slightly In the grand aggre
gate of gold produced by the country up
until the end of laat year. However, many
ot theae small-vein mines are being worked,
and the ore .treated in different reduction
plants, ao their product will help to swell
the output of bullion for the present year,
which la expected to reach at least $15.
000.000. The Pennsylvania mine, 00 Rutabaga
gulch, a branch of Deadwood ereek, la pro
ducing some very rich ore, sod has already
made one shipment to the Horseshoe smel
ter at Rapid City. The ore Is a aylvanlte,
and there la about two feet of It to the
twelve-foot vein that Is being opened up
oa the ground.' This sylvanlte ore Is very
rich, and specimens when submitted to the
roasting process -are very pretty to look
at. Several pieces of the ore which have
been roasted show tbe gold In surprising
quantities where before it waa not visible,
the heat bringing tbe gold to tbe surface
In blisters which fairly cover the rock.
Tills amall atreak In the vein Is exceed
ingly ,rlcs, but the- other ore in the ledgo
tarries pretty high values alao, averaging
about $18 to the ton. In tbe aame vicinity
f Pennsylvania, and Adjoining it, is tbe
Red Cloud group of claims, which has
opened up the same vein, end Is now de
veloping It. but the ore in ths Red Clouds
toes not carry the same high values ss
loss that which occurs In the Pennsyl
vania. It la thought, however, with a little
mors work the ore will Improve. Tbe Big
Four company, .which owna a group ot
tlaima in the district, also has what la
luppoaed to be the Pennsylvania vein, and
la working a large force of men developing
It The ore here carries good values, sad
Is considered a fair grade ot shipping or.
The district, la consequence of the proved
rlchnees of tbe Pennsylvania vein. Is being
worked more extensively than ever before.
Association Circle Officers.
The Black Hills Mining Mena' associa
tion met last Thursday and elected a new
board of directors for tbe ensuing year
as follows: John Blatchford, Terry; Rob
ert 11. Drlseoll, Lead; William S. Elder,
Deadwood; Harris Franklin, Deadwood;
Charles H. Fulton, Rapid City; John Gay,
Yellow Creek: George M. Nix. Lead; J. E.
Plleher, Custer City; S. W. Russell, Dead
wood. The annual report of tbe treasurer
and secretary was read and showed the
aesoclatlon to be in a healthy condition
so far aa membership and finances were
concerned. The secretary'a report showed
a membership of 187, every one of whom
takes an active Interest in the orgsnlxa
tlon, the membership being confined to no
particular camp or district, but divided
among all of the Black Hills counties;
that the committee on subscriptions bad
collected tho $3,000 guaranteed tbe Ameri
can Mining congress, and thst st least
$7,000 more was pledged to be used for the
Incidental expenses and entertainment of
the congress when it will meet In Deadwood
and Lead in September of next year; that
the association has been of great benefit
to Investors in mining property, and has
been tbe bureau from which has been dis
tributed much valuable Information con
cerning the Black Hills' mineral resources.
The treasurers report showed that the as
sociation after having paid the expenses
of the delegation to Butte and met other
obligations for considerable sums, still had
a balance of $714.21.. Numeroua applica
tions for membership were presented last
evening which will be acted on at the next
meeting, which will be held at Lead. Tbe
various committees on entertaining the
American Mining congress made reports of
progress, which showed that work In this
matter has already begun. It was the most
interesting meeting of the organization
since It was organised one year ago.

on the Bad Lands. While tbe hunters have
never yet brought back any bear,t they
have sighted the game several times, but
the brush is so thick that they have never
yet secdred a good shot. A letter waa re
ceived in this city a few days ago from

Farmer Cannot Bo Found.
FIOI'X FALLS. S..D., Oct. 19. (Special.)
Considerable uneasiness exists ss to ths
whereabouts of Henry Lents, a prominent
farmer, who disappeared from his home
north ot Punished Woman's Lake, In the
extreme northeastern part of Codington
county, about a week ago. It appears that
for several days prior to his disappearance
he worried a great deal over his inability
to secure a crew to do bis threshing, and It
la believed in some quarters that this af
fected 'his mind and that he wandered
away while temporarily Insane.

NO PIE FOR SCHOOL GIRLS.
Cat Oat of the I.nurheon Mess la
Baltimore Schools.
A crusade Is being made by Superintend
ent Van Sickle against the use of pie by
the pupils In the public schools of Balti
more. He does not try to prevent the
pupils from eating pte st home, but he Is
trying to prevent the sale of pie by tbe
caterers at the schools.
A few days ago Isaiah Nlxoa. who baa
had tbe privilege ot selling lunch to the
young women at the Western High school,
spplted for a similar privilege at the East
ern High school. The application waa
mads to ths school board. ' Tbe president
ot the board turned to tbe superintendent
snd Inquired what sort of a caterer Nixon
waa and If the extension of hla privilege
could be made with a due regard for tbe
public Interest.
"I certainly think so," replied the super
intendent. "Nixon has given us a good
menu, and has been especially obliging
when we have asked him to eliminate cer
tain objectionable articles from the bill of
fare. He baa even cut out pie. He cut
it out without a murmur."
Tbe bosrd unanimously agreed that a
lunchman who was ao brave as to cut pie
out of a achool lunch was a hero and It,
therefore, resolved to extend the privilege.
Mr. Van Sickle la a New Englandar, and
waa, therefore, thought to hsvs venera
tion akin to hla respect for Plymouth Rock
for that Yankee Institution known as pie.
He gives the following reasons for his
stand:
"Pie." said Prof. Van Sickle, "la outalde
the pUns of digestible food, particularly
tbe crust, and especially whea only thirty
minutes are allowed to consume It la,- aa
In the case of tbe girls.
"Besides," he continued. "I waa further
encouraged In my determination to exclude
pie aa a factor la the lunches at the request
ot a number of the Intelligent mothers ot
the girls who were opposed to pie eating st
lunch tlcse,"
WIN MERCER AN EASY MARK
National 81nggen Straighten Out His
Carres with Muoh Freedom.
ALL-AMERICANS OUTPLAYED EVERYWHERE
Seeoaul Game of tha Two Proves a
taap for Representatives of
the Older of tho Bl
Usssei.
Ths All-Star Nationals won yesterday'a
game at Vinton street park because they
outplayed their American league opponents
st every turn of the road. Mr. Donovan,
the tall, shapely twlrler for the Nationals,
was largely responsible for the way things
went He was very much of an enigma
to ths AU-Americans, and yet waa by no
means stingy, for be gave out seven free
pssses to first Counteracting thla erratic
work, however, Donovan struck oat twelve
men and held his rivals down to a scanty
five hits. It must not be forgotten that
Donovan went a long ways toward winning
the game with the stick. He got hla base
every time he went to the bat, which was
five, drove out two safe hlta and scored
three times.
Big Sam Crawford from Wahoo waa again
one of the pillars of the game. Indeed, a
heavy load rested on Sam's broad shoul
ders, but he supported It In vetersn stylo.
When Ssm stepped up to tho plate In
the first inning a din of hurrahs went up
started by hundreds of Wahooans who were
there for Sam'a special benefit. Then came
the bouquet. It was a large horseshoe ot
flowers with "Wahoo" tattooed on the
upper round. Sam took it, bowed and
grinned. He didn't do anything this time
st tbe bat, but showed his love for flowers
by rapping out two doubles and one single
later In tho day. It was whoop for Sam
from start to finish, and Sam paid for
every whoop, too.
Topay Hartsel's Star Catch.
If it hadn't been for Little Sawed-off
Hartzel out In center field Sam could have
swelled his credit account with a nice long
three-bagger. In the fourth Inning, with
two on bases, Crowford lined one out
which looked aa If It waa going to leap
ths center field fence. Just aa the ball
arose to tbe sight of the big crowd a wee
mite of a white-headed fellow waa aeen to
start In the direction of the fence. Then
ths sphere began to descend. Finally It
reached the ground, but it failed to make
a touchdown. Hartzel snatched It on a
dead run and with the ball in hla bands
rolled hesd over hoels. In the meantime
Big Sam waa down about aecond base. The
crowd yelled Itself hoarse. It was a phe
nomenal catch. It was a fine thing for
Hartzel, however, that he tore out of the
game with thia brilliant play to hla credit,
for he made two grievous errors after
that. Taking the catch ot Sam'a long fly
and the little center fielder's three-bagger
into consideration, however, the credit aide
of his ledger showed up well as compared
to his debit side.
Mercer Waa Easy.
It became evident early In the gams that
the Nationals had aa easy thing with Mer
cer's curves. Tbey seemed to Jump onto
them whenever it wss necessary, but on
the contrary, Donovan waa too much for
the Americana all the way through. Only
once did things really look close, and that
was In the eighth Inning, the beginning
of which for the Americans found the score
7 to 2 In favor of the Nationals. In this
Inning. ths Americana pounded out two hits
and drew three bases on balls, which netted
them three runs. In the ninth little Hart
zel did hia best to open things again. It
waa then he drove In hla three-base hit,
but there were two outs at that time, and
while Donovan allowed Jonea to walk, Davis
wss unable to untwist the benders that
went toward him.
Along their routs to Omaba these two
teams, which have been traveling together,
have been looking forward to the time
when they would reach the Gate City.
"We will make aome money when ws get
to Omaha," waa a common expression
among the men. For Omaha's reputation
aa the best ball town west of tbe Missouri
ha a become thoroughly known la other
parts of the country.
There was certainly no cause for dis
appointment among any of the visiting
players yesterday, for the crowd easily
numbered 6,000, and It waa an entbuslaattc
crowd, too. Score:

IOWA MAY LOSE COACH KNIPE
Defeat of Minnesota Mar Caaso Re
newal of Effort to Sec a re
Iowa Man.
IOWA CITY, la.. Oct. 19. (Special.) Tbe
defeat of Minnesota by Nebraska on North
rup field Saturday will result, It Is feared
at the University ot lowa. In a renewal ot
Minnesota's efforts to secure Dr. A. A.
Kntpe, at present director of athletics st
Iowa, as the Gopher coach next full. For
some time It haa been known that dissatis
faction exlsta at Minnesota with ita present
coach. Dr. Harry WlllUuis. There haa al
ways been an element on the Minnesota
board of athletic control which waa silently
antagonlstlc to Dr. Williams. Coach Knlpe
of Iowa was urgently requested by Minne
sota to come there before Minnesota opened
correspondence with Dr. Williams, and It
was only after Dr. Knlpe's refusal to go
to Minnesota and hla recommendation of
Dr. Williams for the position that negotia
tions were opened up with the Yale man
which resulted In his accepting the posi
tion which he now holda at Mlnneaota.
Dr. Knipe's decision to remain at Iowa re
sulted In a spasm of Joy among the Hawk
eye students and alumni, who realize fully
what great things Knlpe has done for
Iowa. Thla year It la feared at Iowa that
Minnesota will make still more strenuous
efforts to obtain Dr. Knlpe. It can not be
aald what would tx Kntpe'a decision. He
haa the united support of the Iowa students
and alumni and has things a pleaaant as
possible for htm at Iowa. But be may have
a feeling that a change after five years at
one university would be advantageous.
Iowa will make great efforts to keep Coach
Knlpe and a great load would be lifted It
It could be known that these efforts will be
successful.
Coach Hobbs. who had charge of the Iowa
foot ball squad the latter part ot last week,
In the absence of Coach Knlpe at Minne
apolis, secured a great Improvement In the
play during the time when he had entire
control of the team, t'nder hla direction
the guards and halfbacks Increased much
In effectiveness of defensive play. If Coach
Kt.lpa should leavs Iowa at any time Coach
Hobbs would undoubtedly tut his success ir.
The succrae of Nebraska on Northrup
field waa hailed with )oy by rtie lowa stu
dents, who have chsrlahed aa admiration
!for the Nehraskane for some time. Ne
braska is undoubtedly strong enough to be
admitted o tne conference of the big nine
coiicgea. ana lowa would very probablv
favor such a move were It to be made. It
Is considered, however, that the members
or tne big nine east of the Mississippi, con
stituting seven-ninths of the membership,
would oppose sui h a move on account ol
the great distance of Nebraska from their
seals.

NEW YORK, Oct. 19-(Speclal.)-Henry
Clews, in his weekly letter, says:
A much better feeling prevails on the
Stock exchange, due ot course to easier
conditions In the money market caused by
the decision of the secretary of the treasury
to buy a large amount of bonds and the
settlement of the coal strike. For the latter
President Roosevelt is entitled to receive
a full share of credit. At first many ques
tioned the wisdom of his Intervention In a
dispute between capital and labor, but the
outcome has Justified his action. The In
trusion of this question Into party politics
Is unfortunate, but fortunately President
Roosevelt cannot be accused of political
motives, the reason for his Intervention
being rather a recognition of the fact that
the public have rights superior to those of
monopolies of labor or capital when these
parties take positions which prevent the
p ibllc from securing a common necessity.
The public must have coal, and there being
no legislation for removing the deadlock
between proprietors and miners the presi
dent. In the absence of suitable laws, was
Justified In overstepping the usual con
ventionalities and using his great Influence
for a settlement. Such nuestinna hnw.,..
should not generally come before the execu

dent, end would lead to aertnus rnnu.
quences If party spirit ran high. The true
remedy is the making of new laws to meet
the new conditions arising from recent
great economic changes.
Monetary Conditions Improve.
Monetary conditions show derided Im

Foreign Klnnaclal.
LONDON. Oct. 19. The continued hnnA.
ance of money, combined with the easing
of monetary conditions in the United
States and the news regarding the settle
ment of the coal strike caused a cheerful
ness on the Stock exchange last week such
as has not been known for months past.
The plentlfulness of money Is largely ex
plained by the fact that the government
haa disbursed nearly 360.0O0.OTi0 within the
last ten days. It is expected, however,
thst the present superabundance of money
m iukii win uiaappear tnia weeK, thus
bringing the market back to the bank,
which will resume Its customary control, a
consequent general hardening of money
will also be effected. Financiers are ap
prehensive thst unless the market prices
of money closely approximate the bank's
minimum rate of 4 per cent the latter's
reserve, which is already rather low will
be considerably decreased by foreign de
mands for gold, which may possibly neces
sitate a further rise in the rate.
The upward movement of prices on the
Stock exchange which began on the an
nouncement of the plan to settle the coal
strike In the United States has continued.
Final figures show practically an all around
Improvement, In which even English rail
road shares are Included, while the de
mands for American railroads have greatly
Increased.
Business, howsver, needs to expand con
siderably before It reaches whst Is termed
the normal condition.
BERLIN. Oct. 19. Almost sll the depart
ments of the bourse, snd especially Indus
trials, were weak last week. The announce,
ment of the plans for the settlement of the
American coal strike has been taken gen
erally as unfavorable to the German Iron
trade, becauae of ths consequent cessation
of German Iron exportatlona to the United
States. Many operators, however, point
out thst the recent shipments to the United
States were not remunerative. Insomuch as
American buyers offered tha lowest prices.
A more serious bear factor for Iron was
found In the number of price reductions
on half rolled Iron goods, and the publica
tion of more annual reports which disap
pointed the market. The foregoing factors
reaulted In an average drop In Irons of
about 6 points.
Coal shares showed considerable resisting
power during the week, owlne to Increasing
coal exports to Franc. This Increase
brought the dally loadings in the Eten
district to the highest figure for several
years. Nevertheless, coal shares wers sev
eral polnta lower.
General Industrials were week, especially
machineries and some electrical share
Shares of the Hamburg-American line fell
to the lowest point In several months as

rumors of reduced dividend".
Foreign rallrosda were motIy neglected
last week, but Canadian Pacifies were
bought actively after the receipt of tha coal
strike news. Foreign rentea were Inactive.
Domestic loana were weak upon higher
money rate and became of the plan for
th- nationalising of Prussian railroads
which necessitates an Increased issue of

The rise in money Is partly due to large

the fact that money Is being raised for the

CATTLE There were practically no cat
tle here today with which to make a test
of the market, but for the week there is
a slight increase over last week and as
compared with the same week of least year
mere is a gain 01 aoout 6,000 nead. The
Increase of receipts for the year to date
amounts to about 32.000 head and the wuv
It looks now the total receipts for the
year will not only break all previous rec
ords, but will come close to a million head
There have only been a few cornfed steers
on the market thla week and the vnui
majority of what has arrived has been Tack-
tf.tr r.,,.,11... H'U- ...... 1 . ,
i.b Mu"iT- 110 ucurr Kr.uei, lUL'n as
sell from 36.50 up, may be quoted Just about
steady for the week, while those that sell
from 36.50 down are right s round ?5c lower.
Packers have been very Indifferent buyers
all the week of these part-fat and warmed
up cattle, as they claim they do not kill
out to good advantage and the westerns are
preferable.
The cow market has been sctlve and
strong all week and an advance of 10ftl5o
may be noted. All kinds have improved,
but probably the better grades and espe
cially the heavyweights have shown ths
most change. 1
Bulls are a little lower than they were a
week ago and so also are feeder stags.
Fat stags have not shown much change and
veal calves are selling at strong prices, as
high aa $6.00 having been paid.
A good many stockers and feeders have
been on the market all the week and aa the
demand has hardly been as brisk as It was
last week and previous to that tlma the
market eased off a little. All kinds can
be quoted lower, though lOigftio would cover
he decline. Common cattle have been very
hard to dispose of. Strictly choice feeders
may now be Quoted at 34.5fttfi-.'i .mi- annii tn
choice, $4.ft)4j4.60; fair to good, 83.50f-i4.00,
and common kinds, 3. 25tfjr3 25.
There has been a aond hrlslr demand ail
the week for the better grades of western
beef steers and there did not seem to be
any too many to meet the requirements of
the trade. In fact the better grades may
be quoted strong to lOiftloc higher and the
commoner kinds are also fully ateady for
the week. Western feeder steers are a lit
tle lower, the decline being put at IOiJj'JOc.
Range cows, however, have been In good
demand and are quotably &15c higher
than a week ago.
HOGS There was a light run of hogs
here today, but the market at all other
points was quoted lower, so that prices
took a drop hre also. The market opened
weak to a nickel lower and the close was
fully 5c lower. The trains were late In
arriving again today, ao that the morning
was well advanced before everything in
sight was disposed of. The bulk of the
hogs sold from I7.i to 87.06 snd as high aa
87. 10 was paid. A few of the packing grades
sold below $7.0u.
For the week receipts have been about
the same as for last week, but consider
ably short of the aame week of last year.
The market has fluctuated considerably,
one day being leftlo: mgner and the next
day being that much lower. The week,
however, closes with prices a big nickel
higher than tha close ot last week.
SHEEP There were a few cars of sheep
here todsy, but they were mostly feeders,
so that a trst of the market on fat stuff
waa not made. The supply tor the week
has been considerably In exceas of the
same week of last year, but as compared
with tha record breaking run of laat week
there Is a big decrease. The demand haa
been in good shape, so that the market
has held up 'n very aatisfactory manner.
The proportion of fat stuff included in the
receipts was very small all the week snd
in fact packers could not get enough to
supply their trade. Aa a result the better
gradea uf sheep and lambs advanced 15ijrj26c.
A few native cornfeas arrived and they
sold to good advantage, as high as 8560
being pal.l for lamba. packers seem to be
anxious lor that class of stuff and when
ever any arrives It Is picked up In a hurry.
The commoner gradea of killers of course
did not show much of any change and culls
sre, if an thing, a little lower.
The feeder trade was sctlve and stronger
the first of the week, but on Thursday
and Friday. very few buyers arrived and the
week closed wilh the market dull, but
about steady with a week ago. Quite a
good many sheep and lamba will be carried
over Sunday, owing to the scarcity of buy
ers. Quotations: Good to cholcs yesrlings, 83.75
