The Turk group of mines, situated on

olid rein of quarts seven feet In width.
Thla strike wan made while drifting from

ore la a bismuth tellurlde and carries con
alderable free gold near the surface. The

will be a long time before the setback It
received at that time will be forgotten and
confidence again restored In the prospects
hlch this section of the Black Hills holds
out for tin mining. CuBter and Pennington
counties, despite the hard blow which waa
given to their tin interests, contain nu
merous mines or value which will some day
be worked for thla metal alone. The Pepper

Malone Bine Lead Rrsomea.
' HILL CITV. S. D.. Nov. (Special.)
Work on the Maloney ' Blue Lead, situated
near Sheridan, was resumed last Friday.
After two years contlnuoua work on thla
property operations were abandoned tera
1 porarlly last-March for reasons known only
I to the board of directors. This Is one of
the best developed mines in the Southern
Hills and has upon it a vast amount of
, , work which discloses an extensive ore body
j carrying nickel, copper and gold. There Is
one tunnel on tbe ground 1,835 feet In
, length which was driven as a working tun
nel and from which the ground haa been
opened at a vertical depth of over 600 feet.
At 1.610 feet from the mouth or tbla tunnel
the vein which la e'xposed In the surface
workings of the ground was encountered
and rut by the tunnel. At this place the
vein has a width of lltt feet between the
walla and the orn carries $2 in gold, 1.4
per cent nickel and 2 per cent copper. At
thia point a drift was started which fol
lows the course of the vein, and when work
ceased last March bad been driven 229 feet,
and aasaya of the ore taken from the face
of the worklnga show that It la getting
. richer in copper. Thia drift will be con
tinued for a distance of about 700 feet fur
ther, at which point It is believed that the
working wfll be beneath the point on the
vein from which the rich copper ore was
taken from near the surface, and when that
position la gained a shaft will be sunk to
water level, which will be reached at a
depth of 100 feet. Some of the richest cop
per ore In the Black Hills haa been taken
from the surface workings of this mine
and there Is a vast quantity of it exposed
in open cuts and shallow shafts on the
mountain above the tunnel, but the man
agement believes that at the depth which
the tunnel gives thla, ore will Increase in
richness and be found tn greater quantltlea.
.The mines are equipped with air compres
sor planta, power drills, etc., while the ac
commodations for the men cannot be ex
'celled by any camp In the Hills.

DEADWOOD. 8. P., Nov. If. (Special.)
From figures compiled by Major A. J.
Bimmone, one of the beat posted men on
ruining matters In the Black Hills. It Is
shown that for the month of October there
were treated In fifteen of the largest plants
of the Black Hills 153.089 tons of ore. from
Which was extracted $706.45 lu gold. These
figures do not Include the output of sev
eral of the smaller plants in tbe southern
and northern Hills, nor do they allow for
the gold which haa been obtained from tbe
ores shipped to outside smelters and treat
ment plants during tbe month, which. If
taken Into account would make the month's
J) oduct almost ll.CO0.0O0.
i This production will be Increased during
tba winter In both tonnage and gold pro
duction by over i3 per cent by reason of
new plsnts, now in course of building
According to the annual report of the
state mine Inspector, Thomas Gregory, sub
mltted to Governor Herreld for the ten
months ending November 1, 1902, the gold
production for that period was $7,342,227.56.
It Is conservatively estimated that the
production for tbe twelve months of the
yesr will reach over $8,755,139, taking tho
figures for October for a basis.
The average value per ton, as shown by
the October figures, Is $4.(1.

HOT SPRINGS. 8. D.. Nov. 1. (Special.)
At the recent meeting of the Soldiers
Home board It passed a resolution that bas
caused considerable agitation among the
members. But as It was passed by a unan
imous vote no partisanship charges enter
into It. They resolved that all members
of the Home whose Incomes from all
sources exceeds $12 a month shall pay over
to the commandant all such amounts In ex
cess of that amount, taking his receipt
therefor. Thla money Is to be placed in
the subsistence fund to be turned over
to the state treasurer, who in turn nl.e.a
It to the credit of the Incidental fund of
tne home. l Is provided, however, that
any member of the home who bas one or
more members of his family dependent
upon him and sends the surplus amount
to them shall be exempt from this rule.
It is said that this rule will affect shout
twenty-three inmates of the home, but
they do not seem to be greatly worried
over It for they say that they have plenty
of relatives.

The man who I Is . always 'embarrassed
financially, but In no other wise, dropped
into the office of his friend, the architect,
and made himself at home with a lean 'on
the drawing board, relates the New York
Tribune. He picked up a pair of com
passes and toyed with them with seeming
alnileaeness.
"George. I waut to try an experiment on
the sense or touch." he said so suddenly
that the architect made a blot on his draw
ing. "I don't give a hang." declared the archi
tect, "but get your ideaa more slowlv and
not all in a bunch, as you did this one."
"But. George." continued the Mend,' "I
want to experiment on you.'
"I haven t got a minute to spare," re
turned George, gruffly.
"It'll only take two minutes. .Don't be a
grouch. George."
"What do you want me to do"
"JiiBt shut your eyes and hold out your
hand!" said the man who waa experiment
ing. . .
"You won't hurt roe?" said the architect
"Of course not; but keep your eyes shut:"
He opened the dividers until the points
were half an Inch apart and lild them
lightly on the back of the architect s hand
"Tell me." he said, "how many points can
you feel?"
"One." said he.
The friend spread the dividers an Inch,
and again put down both points. "How
muny '.' ' ha asked.
"Only one." said the architect. "You
can t fool me."
"Open your eyes. Tou were wrong, of
course. I gave you both points each time
Your sense of touch Is poorly developed."
"Tommy rot!" growled the architect
going back to his boarda.
There was silence for a minute. Then
another outburst from tbe friend: "I aay
George, loan me 15."
"Why, this Is the second time this week
that you've touched me for Ave."
"So It la. George. I Just wanted to see if
there was more sense of touch In your
pocketbook than In the back of your hand."

Kiral Bate Ball Leagues Make Counter
Propoeitiaas for Settlement.
NEITHER APPROACHES OTHER'S POSITION
American Offers One Thlna and West
era Another as Basis for Pro
posed Arbitration hy a
tloaal Board.
CHICAGO, Nov. 16. Representatives of
the American association and tho Western
league base ball clubs met here today to
try to effect a settlement of tho warfare
that has existed for the last year between
the two organizations. Very little progress
was ' made today and unless both sides
agree to further concessions no agreement
will be reached.
Separate meetings were held by each
league and two propositions were agreed
to and submitted to a board of arbitration,
composed of members or the National As
sociation or Base Ball Leagues. This com
mittee will meet here tomorrow morning
to consider tbe propositions.
The American association in its first
proposition suggests that both leagues re
tain their clubs In Ksness City and Mil
waukee without a conflicting schedule. In
Its second proposition It asks the Western
league to withdraw from Milwaukee and
Kansas City and in return for thla con
cession Van Brunt or the Western league
will be given a half Interest In the Kan
sas City American association club.
In its communication to the arbitration
committee, the Western league stated that
It refused to sell out In Kansas City and
proposed that the American association Bell
Its Kansas City club for $20,000. The West
ern league's second proposition is that the
American association give up Kansas City
and the Western league will relinquish
Milwaukee.

league, showing the batting- and fleldlns
averages of all players who took part in
or more games during the season of
192. A Klanee at the hattins: vrmir
shows that just fifteen players reached the
coveted 300 mark or went beyond it, and
five of thia number played In less than
fifty games. Omaha, though winning sec
ond place in the mot terrific race ever
made for a pennant in the Western league.
If not In any other, lands' but two men,
Stone and Wright, above the highwater
mark. Stone, the swift left fielder, came
out with a batting record of 346. His rank
In the list of batters Is fifth, but he plaved
more games than any of those outranking
him and more than any of the other tlfteen
stars, except two. Htone played In 13S
games, while one of the men o.itranftlnR
tilm waa In but twenty-three and another
sixteen.
Wright took curt I n Onlv sixteen Bnmta
anil haa a record of 397. He covered firm
base for Omaha during the wlnUup of the
season.

men above the highwater murk. Colorado
Springs csme out In Blxth place and had
three hatters among the- heavy hitters.
Milwaukee, In the third notch, drew one
atar willow wielder, and Des Moines came
out next to last with a lone star to its
credit.
Omaha as a club ranks sixth In batting,
but leada In fielding. It closed the season
with the magnificent fielding record of 951.
The lowest fielding percentage made by
any of the Omaha players is that of
Hlckey. at third, P65, and Foreman, in the
box, - the same. But neither llickev nor
Foreman Is by any means low man In his
respective list in the league.
Johnnie Qondlng heads the lint of catch
ers for the entire league with a percentage
Of 971. Gondlng caught In 129 games, more
than any other catcher In the league, and
had but eighteen errors to his discredit
and only seven passed balls. Stone leads
the Omaha outfielders with an average of
966. playing In 138 games. Dolan ranks
third In the list of shortstops, Stewart
fourth among second baaemen, Wright
second and Calhoun third among first base
men. Brown has a pitcher's record of 963.

HEAVY DECLINE IN STOCKS
General Buainew in No Way Injured by the
Hatter in Wall Street.
GOOD CROPS PREVENT SERIOUS CRASH
Heartloa Has flronght Market Nearer
to Mae of Safety sad Provided a
Check for Reckless
Speculators.
NEW Y'ORK. Nov. 16 (Special.) Henry
Clews, In his weekly market lett-r. savs:
Continued liquidation has somewhat' im
proved stock market conditions. Prices
have undergone a very remarkable decline
compared with the highest of the last two
years. Many of the active rallroMil stocks
are now Helling 10 to 20 points hi low tup
figures, and not a few have dropped 2
to 30 (lolnts or more. The industrials show
still greater losses. It Is a source of sub
stantixl satisfaction that this very severe
contraction has been effected without seri
ous disaster and without Imposing anv
check upon the nation's industrial anil
commercial activities. The latter ate ap
parcntly going along at an uninterrupted
puce, and the extreme spirit of conserva
tism which has seised upon Wall street
does not yet seem to have spread else
where. Such sharp declines, however, as
those referred to above cannot continue
Indefinitely without interruption, for as
values recede toward the normal the mar
ket becomes more easily oversold, and the
Inducements for buvlnir rnrn ii.iniiniv
Increase. The Improvement In the situation
nae noi Deen entirely confined to the stock
market, considerable relief Is nhnervnt in 1
monetary circles, call money Is easier and
bank reserves are rising as a result of the
torced contraction In loans. Bankers have
ai last tunica a sharp corner In the matter
of credits and scant consideration is now
given projects tnat two months ago would
nave been taken up with avidity. For this
rnange or attitude, which came none ton
soon, our nann officers deserve full credit
ano ine inuicittiona are that there will he
no reversal of this spirit of caution for
some time to come. It is fully realized that
e nHve nroouDiv escaped a s-i Innx itIhU
through nothing; but Rood luck, or. In of her
""iu, inruugn a gooa narvesl. llail the
crops been a failure it Is unpleasant to
think what might have happened, with so
many huge commitments hanElns: over the
market at a time of uncontrollable linamial
stringency.
Need for Conservatism.
While the reaction has brought us hm-k
nearer io me point or safety, It does not
ioiiow Dy any means that danger Is passed
on tne contrary, there are very excellent
reasons for continued conservatism. The
money market is by no means vet in a
strong position in spite of the Increase In
reserves, for trade activity in the Interior
is naeiy io mane tne return currency move
ment fully six weeks later than usual, and
the relief intended by Secretary .Shaw's
extraordinary treasury disbursements Is be
ing largely defeated bv continued heavv
treasury aDnorpuons inrougn customs pay
ments, while Bold exports stare us In tho
face as soon as interest rates decline. Add
to tnese circumstances the fact that I
j mense sums are still locked up in syndicate
operations, therefore we have very plain
reasons ior noi expecting any great im
mediate improvement In the money market.
Either the supply of funds must be In
creased, which Is impossible under our pres
ent Inadequate currency system, or the
demand must decrease, which seems un
likely, or there must be further contrac
tion and liquidation until the country's sav
ings provide a fresh supply of capital with
which to carry out preaent obligations. At
present it Is a simple proposition of having
used up the available supply of floating
capital and time and retrenchment being
necessary for its restoration.
General situation Satisfactory.
Outside of the money market the situation
Is fairly satisfactory. There Is little oc
casion for concern beyond the fact that
high prices ara beginning to check new en
terprises and declining profits are cer
tainly becoming more numerous. There is
no doubt but that the crest of prosperity's
wave has been passed and a partial re
action Is on, although the volume or busi
ness seems large when measured in dollars.
When quantities are used for comparisons
the result are not so gratifying. It is
most unfortunate that the future should
be clouded by the threatened prospect of
labor troubles. Should these become more
aggravated they might easily impose a
serious strain upon our already overloaded
financial machinery. Iabor has already re
ceived many concessions In shorter hours
and higher wages during the last few years,
and a much larger share or corporation
earnings has gone to labor In making Im
provements than to stockholders In the
form of Increased dividends. The dis
astrous effects or the late coal strike have
not yet been rully relt. The consequences
of high-priced fuel will shortly be seen In
diminished profits to the producer and high
prices to the consumer, whose sentiments
rather than his judgment led him to sym
pathize with the strikers. Some very valu
able lessons in economics are being learned
Just now In the costly school of experience.
The future of the stock market depends
largely upon the tactics of the big bankers
and capitalists who engineered the recent
decline, chiefly to bring about a wholesome
readjustment of values and incidentally to
curb the power of reckless speculators
whose operations were a menace to the
entire street. The prolonged downward
movement has not as yet exhausted Itself,
when It does a temporary reaction will
naturally follow. The market appears to
be under a more conservative control, but
subject to frequent and wide fluctuations
affording hereafter a good chance for trad
ing. It la quite certain, however, that
there is no general bull market In sight,
simpry because the money to conduct It is
not available, and the undercurrents in
other quarters are still reactionary. I still
advise caution In getting Into debt.
IN FOREIGN MONEY MARKETS
Conditions In Sew York Felt In I, on-
don and Berlin, bnt ot So
Serlonaly.
LONDON. Nov. 16. While money was
reasonably abundant last week, the slight
Improvement In the situation on the Stock
exchange and an attempt to force a boom
In home rails reeulted in a few advances,
and a small amount of so-called Invest
ment buying took place, but the simulta
neous break In American securities and in
Kaffirs left the market as spiritless and
uninteresting as it had been for weeks
past. The record fall in the price of silver
wa one of the features of the week, and
this decline was In proportion more
marked In India than on the home mar
ket. The explanation offered here for this
collapse was the lack of any eastern de.
ma ml. coupled with the forced liquidation
In Wall atreet, anil the rumor that Mexico
Intended to establish a gold standard. The
general outlook In India, however, Is Im
proving and It Is thought that a period
of prosperity In (hat country will tend to
check any further decline In silver.
BERLIN. Nov. 16. The German bourses
are watching tho movement in Wall street
with the keenest interest, but the break In
quotations In New York exercised compar
atively little Influence here. The Berlin
financiers do not expect a great reaction
in Germany to result from any collapse
In the American situation, since German
holders of American securities are too un
important and the American operators owe
practically notning to ine lierman market.
Nevertheless, the most Important feature
of tho week here, namely, the further
heavy break In Hamburg-American and
North German Lloyd share, was attrib
uted to American vales thereof, and espe
cially because the Deutsche bunk has also
been effecting large sales of Its holdings
In these storks. Domestic operators tun.
have been selling nhort and quotations of
tiamnurg-AmeruaiiB sioon yesterday at 97
and North German Lloyds at 95. Both
have somewhat Improved since Friday.
The renewed relapse was occasioned by
the bad freight market and the fear that
the American revulsion, reacting upon the
general Dusiness situation, might cause a
disruption of the Morgan shipping com
bine and thereby disorganize the freight
market. A report was also current that
Austria will direct the flow of emigration
from that country through Trieste instead
nf via Hamburg and Bremen, as at pres
ent Is the case. The other deepartments
of the market were weak and dull, this
condition being attributed to the Wall
street situation and the fall tn Kaffirs
on the London Stock exchange. Iron and
coal shares were Irregular. The price or
old Iron has broken 4 marks upon the re
laxation of the American demand. Elec
trical shares show recovery.

Manchester Cloth Market.
MANCHESTER. Nov. 1 The tone nf
the cloth market was generally steady
last week. There waa a moderate turn
over whlrh wax unevenly distributed.
Offers from India were fairly numerous.
but proved difficult to negotiate, the bulk
of the buslnesa being In bleaching cloths
and miscellaneous Mulshing gooiia. The
inquiry from Ubloa waa poor, thla market
bring depreased. owing to the decline in
silver. A mlscellaiir ous hand-to-mouth de.
maiLl from Houth America and the l-eant
s sit-any on n niy-to-dav demand
and prices were slightly In favor of the
buyers. There was no pressure to eell, as
the position of the spinners was strong.

CATTLE There were only
few
cattle
here today, and not enough with which to
make a test of the market. For the weel;
the supply has been very libera 1, us will
be seen from the table given above. Other
markets have also hud big receipts, so
that prices have taken a big tumble.
More corn fed steers were hoI,1 luui u'f,.L.
than at anv time since tho rum,.. ,..,..,.
opened. Prices, as a result, have been roIii
down at a rapid rate, and are now m ih..
lowest point reached In manv motulm am
compared with the high time last June,
wncii ion came were selling around $8(0:8.2.1.
the market Is from 11 ko tr I" ,11 i,,,,..,.. I
In extreme cases the decline is consid
erably arrester than that Tr... f.tti. ......
eelllng In Chicago at $6.75 to $7.00, and 1I10
general opinion la that $6.76 would be tli
extreme top at this point. No flntsh.i
cattle have been received here, however
with which to make a test of values, so
that the price they would brine la larn-.u-
guess work. As compsred with last week
the market Is safely 2f''s40o lower. When
prices are going down at a rapid rate the
market Is apt to be very uneven and the
present situation la no exception to tli.
general rule, so that Borne salea look, much
uener man otners.
The cow market has also suffered In bail
shape during the week. Cornfed stuff has
declined even more than grussers. The de
cline on the general run of grass cows lit
most cases would be covered by 35fi50c. but
cornfeds in a good many Instances have
Buffered even worse than that. It Is hard,
however, to tell much about cornfed cows
and hellers, for the reason that they havo
been selling at such uneven price. It Is
to be noticed though that the quality of
the corn stuff so far has been rather In
ferior, and no choice stuff at all has been
offered with which to make a test of values.
It lakes pretty good grassers to bring
around $3.50. but something choicer would
sell higher.
Veal (Bices have not shown much rhni
during the week, but bulls and stags havo
, suffered the same ns steers and cows
The stocker and feeder market also tonlf
t tumble. Strictly choice hanoy welgnr
feeders, averaging from 850 to 1.000 pounds,
are perhaps not over 154r2oc lower than a
week ago, but the general run of stock
cattle are 2.(tf4oc lower. The ' demand
from the country was nothing extra dm
ing the week and the slump in fat cattle,
of course, caused a break in feeders.
There was a much heavier supply of
western rangers on the different markets
this week than waa generally expected
and more than packers seemed to have an
outlet for. The beef steers slumped off
fully 25'(i40o and all but the very choicest,
feeders suffered a like decline. Range cows
may be quoted 35jOc lower and In some
cases sales were made that looked even
worse than that. Representative sales:
HOGS There waa a fair run of hogs here
today for a Saturday and the market
opened rlgtn close to 5c higher than yes
terday. The quality of the hoga, though,
was not as good as yesterday, as the
weights were heavier. 80 that the sales mi
paper do not show the full strength of tho
market. The bulk of the hogs sold from
$t,.3(i to $6.35 and as high at $6 40 was
paid. Trading was quite active at thona
prices and practically everything was dis
posed of In good season. A few trains;
were late tn arriving, but still the late
hogs sold at right close to the same prices
that were paid earlier In the morning.
The supply of hogs for the week has not
been at all heavy, as there la a elight
decrease aa compared with the last two
weeks, and as compared with tho same
week of Inst year there Is still a big fall
ing off. The market went down at a rapid
rate the first of the week, but Wednesday
proved to be the low day. when the aver
age cost was only $6.1o. Since that time,
however, the market has been going up
and the week closes with the average only
a shade lower than on Monday, but about
lic lower than the e!oee of last week
SHEEP There were, a few cars of sheep
and lambs on the market this morning,
but no particular change In prices was
noticeable. There Were some heavy fed
sheep offered that sold at good steady
pricea, considering their extreme weight.
The receipts for the week have been very
moderate, as there in a big decrease as com
pared with the last several weeks, and
there is also a slight falling off as com
pared with the same week of last year.
The market held up In very satisfactory
manner on fat sheep and yearlings, lioth
grassers and fed stuff that waa at all de
sirable changed hands quite freely and as
compared with the close of last week tne
market may be quoted fully steady.
Lambs, however suffered a decline of fully
26c and In some cases salea looked con
siderable lower than that.
There was very little strictly choice fed
tuff on the market, but there was one
small shipment that was oy far the best of
the season. The ewes sold at $3.85. and
the yearling wethers brought $4 20.
There was a good demand practically all
the week for feeders and the market has
shown very little change rrom the clou
of last week, ao far as the better grades
are concerned. Light lambs, however, havn
been rather neglected and on some days
were hard to move at any price, particu
larly If they were a little common In
quality.
