MUCH RICH ORE IN A NEW SPOT White Monti Mlnlnsr Com puny Or Ises and Will Mart Work Onre on Home Valuable C laims Sear taster. CVSTEIt CITY. 8. D.. Jan. 25. 8poclal.) 8im Srntt earn In from Iron mountain district this week, where he has been d reloplng a group of claims, and report that there has been a great deal of activity In that llrlit since the first of the year, and that some good prospects arc- being de veloped. The district I a comparatively Dew one, but the work whlrh has been don shows that the ore will average In richness as high as most of the ere of "the southern hills. The ore Is free milling and ta found In large vertical veins, which are easily worked. It averages about $8 a ton and cyanides easily. The White Cloud Mining company was organized In Custer City last week for the purpose of working some valuable claims pear this city. The company has a goo.: proposition. Rome development has been done on the property, but the company proposes to begin work In a systematic manner as sood as the weather will permit to put the ground In shape to take out ore. The officers of tho company are: A. Wil cox, president; J. E. Pllcher, secretary; T. W. Delicate, treasurer; John A. Collins, general superintendent and general man ager. The property Is located In one of the richest districts In the southern hills, and aa Its management Is In the hands of prac tical men Its chances of becoming a pro ducer are very good. Make a Rich trlke. While the assessment work was being done on the Grand Junction and Hartford group of mines, seven mllee west of this city, a strike of unusually rich ore has been made. The ore Is a sulphide and carries ery high values, but the rich streak in the vein is not a large one, although the sur rounding ore carrlea values much higher than the average. The ore Is rebellious, the treatment has never been satisfactory, and although a great deal haa been treated from the Hartford and the Grand Junction nothing like the value contained In the ore being saved. Experiments will be made rlth the ore until a system of treatment has been perfected, and then It Is probable omothlng will be done toward building a plant on the property. The Grand Junction rein la a very large one, being over 100 feet In width, and of this about sixty feet carries good commercial values. The mine la one of the oldect In the southern bills, but, as stated, the ore Is so refractory that It la difficult to find a process by which It can be treated economically. KEYSTONE, S. D., Jan. 24. (Special.) The Holy Terror company has within the paat two weeks doubled the working force In the mine, and the prospects of the com pany being again placed upop a dividend paying basis were never better. The drift which has been etarted on the 1.100-foot level, and which has opened up the Key atone vein at that depth, seems to have been one of the best investments the com pany has made. It was an expenaive piece of work, but the results are proving that the expense waa warranted. The drift has crosscut the Keystone vein, and It Is aald that the ore at that depth la rich, and that the body of It, which shows at the surface to be twenty-five feet wide, la Just aa large co that level. Another drift has been started from the crosscut and has been run for 125 feet along the course of the vein, and the values In the ore keep up. 'This will give the company at least 1,100 feet of an ore reserve, which It will begin to draw upon at once, and which should give hand tome returns for treatment. v. Hidden Treasure Boyi a Mill. HILL CITY, S. D., Jan. 25. (Special.) The owners of the Hidden Treasure mine, on Palmer gulch, have purchased the old ten-stamp mill which years ago had been used for custom work on Jenney's gulch and will move It over to the mine and set It up. The mill Is a good one and, aa the ore which la now being taken from the Hid den Treasure Is very rich, even If there should be a little loss. It will pay well to treat In the mill. Concentrators, however, may be added to the equipment of the mill and the concentrates, which will be very rich, saved for shipment. The cyanide plant of the Black Hills Central Copper company, which It Is erect ing on the Palmer group of claim near the Gillette ranch, la nearly completed and should be in operation this week. Steam was raised In the plant last Thursday and the rolls will be started In a few days. The plant Is a small one, 4iavlng been built more for experimenting on a large scale than for anything elae, but should the tests which will be made on the ore from the Palmer group -prove satisfactory, the preaent plant will be continued In opera tion and large additions made to It. The ore la said to cyanide freely and to carry values ranging from $6 to $25 a ton. abeam Has Good Water Supply. The machinery for a ten-stamp mill Is on the ground at the Sunbeam mine and Is being put together. There Is plenty oC good ore in the Sunbeam, some of It fabu lously rich, but a great drawback, and one which has heretofore prevented the erec tion of a mill upon the property has been a lack of water, but the Indications are that thla deficiency will soon be remedied, tor the volume of water which Is at present coming Into the mine is large enough to furnish a supply to keep at least five stamps running. Every bu ki t of ere which Is taken from the shaft shows free-gold specimens. The, shaft of the Fraternity Gold Mining company Is now down ninety fi-ei and will be continued to the 100-fjot level, when station will be established and a drift started to Intersect tre main ledge crop ping out on the surface. Some very good prospects sre gotten from the ore taken from the -lodge In the surface workings but It Is believed' the ore will be found richer when the main ledge is struck In the drift. Flataader Strike Rich One-. DEADWOOD, S. IX, Jan. 25. (Special.) The Kinlander strike ou Elk creek, about three-quarters of a mile west from the Clover Leaf, Is still attracting considerable attention. This Is the ground concerning which the ghost story, published In the dispatches to some of the eastern papers waa told, In which It was related that the discoverer died of Joy when the richness of the mine was disclosed to him. The present work, which, by the way, is being done by IB fellow who died, consists ol shaft about twenty-flve feet deep, going down on whAt Is believed to be the ledge by many, but by others to be a big over sow from ILe vein proper, and which will soon be run through by the shaft. How ever this may be, the ore Is certainly rich and as the whole claim at this point Is covered by It, even though It be nothing but sn overflow, there is a whole lot of It - and all of It prospects. The ore la . milky-white quarts, very porous, carrying carbonate of Iron and assays from tit to . $11) a ton, st least these are the extreme ranges ot the stays made from the or. I The or at the present depth holds It valutas, and sample takea Irom lb hot torn of the sbsft show no difference from that taken a few feet below the surface The gold in the rock Is very fine snd cannot be seen with the naked eye, but when a glass is put on a piece of the rock It fairly glitters with gold. It looks like a stood proposition, snd even should the work not be on the ledge, there Is enough ore on the surface of the ground, which Is covered for several hundred feet arounl the shaft with big masses snd boulders ot float, to make the owners wealthy. Ore is being shipped to one of the Dead wood cyanide plants from the Nevada mine on Strawberry gulch. This property Is one of the mines of the I'nlon Hill company, and Is now being worked under lenee by Dart Harris, who has made ship mcits of several carloads of the ore from the old dump, and from which he has re ceived good returns. He Is at present running a tunnel to tap the shoot at a deeper level than the old workings on It and will have to go In about seventy-five feet before the shoot Is struck. This will give him a chance to handle the ore with out the necessity of putting In a hoist. In the meantime he will continue ship n its from the old dump, and with them p the expenses of the dead work. It Is a porphyry ore, and, like all the ore taken from this vlcrnity, pays well, Its values ranging from $12 to $36 a ton. It ad joins thi- Gilt Edge mine on the north, and, like that mine, has produced some very rich ore, ore going as high as $r00 a ton having In the early days of Its working been shipped from It. Xenr Cyanide Plant at Plums, The sixty-ton cyanide plant, built by Hall A McConnell, Just south of the city limits of Deadwood, near Pluma. has been finished slid Is ready for work. The plant was orig inally constructed for the purpose of treating the tailings from the Hnmestake mills at Leud, which were cai'ght and Im pounded on Whltewood creek, about two miles' below the mills, and allowed to settle on tho flat bottom of the creek "at that point, being protected by crib work and bulkheads. About 130,000 tons of these tailings were collected In this manner be fore the Homestake company had com pleted Its 1,200-ton tailings plant on Gold Run creek, and through which all of tho tailings from its mills at Lead now passes. These tailings so collected carry small values In gold, not to exceed $2 a ton, hut as the cost of treating them Is almost next to nothing a good profit can be made by the gentlemen now owning the tailings and the plant. The practicability of this scheme was first demonstrrted by an Omaha man, C. B. Stubbs, who at this point put in a small dam and collected a couple of hundred of tona of these tailings and proved the possibilities of the scheme by the erection of a small system of leach ing tanks for the treatment of the tail ings which he collected. He . made better than wages while he continued his little plant In operation, and then sold out to a man named John Bylow,' who In turn sol.l to the preaent owners. Before erecting the present plant Messrs. Hall ft McConnell made a number of practical tests and satis fied themselves that there waa money In the scheme. The new plsnt has been equipped with rolls and will do custom work on ores Bent to It, although It was originally Intended to treat nothing but the tailings saved. The Titanic Mining company. In Carbon ate district. Is about to resume operations on Its ground. The company owns about 1,000 acres of land In the district. It ha ordered sn air compressor plant and now pumps, and will continue sinking in its present shaft, which is now down 225 feet. This shaft will be sent to quartzlte, whlfh it Is expected will be reached within the next fifty feet, and then drifting along that formation will be begun. The Titanic ground is In a good location and has been considered by mining men to be on of the best propositions In the district. Its offi cers and principal stockholders are all South Dakota men, who have already ex pended a great deal of money 1n the de velopment of the ground. Christian Science. t A colored man, who worked for a whit man who believed in faith cure. Christian Science, or whatever it Is called, was an hour or so late reporting to work one morn ing, reports Llpplncott's Magailne. His employer, upon Inquiry, wss told that he was detained at home on acount of the ill ness of his brother. The Christian Scien tist ridiculed the idea of his brother's 111 ness and said: Henry, your brother Is not sick. He just thinks he is sick. If he will just use his mind, exercise his will power, decide that he Is not going to be sick, and will have faith in God, he will get right up, and you won't have to us any medicine." This was all new and strange doctrine to Henry, but he did not think It wise to get Into any kind of argument with his boss, so be scratched his bead and said netti ng. The third day after the conversation Henry remained away from work the en tire day. When he reported for work next morning his employer said: Well, Henry, how is your brother today? Dors he still think he Is sick?" The colored msn replied: "No, sir; we burled him yesterday. I reckon by this time he thinks he's dead." Shadow Pictures on the Wall. , Peter Newell, the artist, was camping out in Colorado at one time, living in a tent. News came of a nocturnal murder n the neighborhood and considerable un easiness was manifeated by some members of the family. Mr. Newell thereupon cut out some silhouettes representing men of the roughest western type, all with pistols In their belts and In the attitude of men Intensely' interested in a game of poker. These silhouettes Mr. Newell fastened to the inner canvss of the tent. At night the family, stepping outside into the darkness to view the result, were entranced with Its success. The shadows throwu from the silhouettes in the lighted interior indi cated a tent filled with poker playing, pis tol-shooting desperadoes. Thenceforth the Newell family slept In pastoral peace.

"What I was about to say Is that while I am Hitting up courting your daughter I feel that It would b no more than fair to offer to pay for the gas I sssist in consuming." "Good." said the old man. "And how about the coal? Do you expect -me to throw that in?" "Certainly not," cried the youth. "I'll gladly throw in the coal. Bless you, 1 worked my wsy through college tending a furnace."

I STOCK MARKET HESITATES Bsst lock i Off of Market and Those Avail able Not l.i favor. TRADE IS LIKELY TO CONTINUE GOOD General Conditions Improving and Panama (mini Payment ot Likely to Iterative Bus iness Much, NEW YORK, Jan. 25 (Special .) Honrv Clews, in his weekly Wall street letter, says: Now fiat the rise following easier condi tions in the money market hHs h id Its swing the stock market shnwa undisguised hesitation. To put prices mnsi.lcu iu!y higher some new stimulant Is nccessarv, and it l plainly not Just now In yluh'r Uood Ktocks Bt present prices lire too high to attract large new Invtstnrs. though held with such firmness by present owners as to excluiie nil Ideas ot forcing tnem down. The best stocks are sustained not ni'relv by present prosperity nssurlng existing tltvldt ml rates, hut also by uie merger plans of vast extent which move slowlv but are eventually expected to add to the stability and vaiue of many of the big railway properties. The prospect of higher dividends on high-class railroad securities nre exceed ingly remote. Many of these are already paying better dividends than live years ago, but any further Increases Just now are out of the question In view of the Increased cost of operating and the vast sums which will be required for expendi tures to keep these companies in line with modern requirements. Thus it happens that a large proportion of the stocks, formerly regarded ns among the most substantial for speculative purposes, are belnK steadily withdrawn from the market and shut up In strong boxes, there to stay, probably, until some big deal brings them to life again or a crisis happens which forces realizing on the best material. There re main consequently two other classes of securities to which stock market activity must be confined, those of roads which. with growth of the country, have risen Into strength and prominence, and the indus trials which are still to be considered an uncertain and undesirable element in the speculative situation. Neither of these, however, offer any special attractions to buyers Just now. Dividend prospects in that quarter have been amply discounted, and the indisposition nf Investors to buy at the existing level deprives the market of a very substantial and desirable element of support. Wall Street Not Optimistic. It Is somewhat singular that with the trade and Industry of the country still run ning at the top rate of sped, the optimistic spirit which such conditions usually induce Is not to be discovered in Wall street. There is a "universal belief that the country Is In for another six months, at least, of good business, and that If the harvest of llitO proves anything like satisfactory it doubtless will continue beyond that. Why then the present undertone ot not exactly distrust but cold pessimism in quarters where we have been accustomed to hear nothing but the gospel of optimism? Some of the reasons are these: 1. Prosperity has been amply If not over discounted. 2. Higher interest rates due to absorption of money in new enterprises make stocks relatively dear. 3. Kxcesslve underwriting of new schemes and consequent locking up of funds 1b dis approved. 4. Corporation profits are declining, owing to increased expenses. 6. I-arge masses of undigested securities are held over tne market above buyers' views; the big men having vast merger plans In progress must wait for decision on the Northern Securities case affecting the status of holding corporations. With such Influences at work a bull earn, paign seems Impossible. How long present inertia will last cannot be told. The mar ket has lately hern breaking the record for Inactivity. A bear party of strength might infuse some life Into the market, but with stocks and credit so highly concentrated as at present there is little chance of seri ous attack from that quarter. - General Conditions Improve. General conditions continue to Improve. Bank reserves are rising and money rates growing easier. Some pneaslness was manifested over possible gold exports, as we are still large borrower abroad, but grain' Is going outward more freely, th-9 foreign money markets are In compara tively, easy condition and there Is little likelihood of Important gold shipments until next spring. - Our contemplated lMo,00o,Oi0 purchase of the Panama canal will, of course, compel heavy payments In Europe, but In any event arrangements will cer tainly be made seeking to derange the ex change market as little as possible. It seems equally certain that no radical anti trust legislation will be attempted this year, though this same congressional Inertia also lessens the chances ot any legislative relief on the currency problem. The only disturbing element now In sight is the Venesuelan question, which contains In flammable possibilities, but the chances are still very largely in favor of a ptaceahle settlement. For the coming week an Ir regular market may be anticipated, with the drift towards somewhat lower level of prices. Foreign Financial. LONDON, Jan. 25. -While the general tone of the stock market throughout last week was firm, business was marked by an absence of speculative activity. Kaffirs did not respond to Colonial Secretary Chamberlain's announcement at Johannes burg on January 17 of the details for the financing of the new South African colonies. This announcement had been already dis counted and the delay in the settlement of the labor problem In South Africa Is creat ing uncertainty. American securities were without any striking feature, the move ments were Irregular, probably owing to the developments In the Venesuelan affairs, which It is considered show a possibility of fresh entanglements. Tae uoia reature ot the week wasthe movement in West Aus tralian mines, which, following a period of depression, became active because of the completion of arrangements for large con solidations., Home railways were affected by the disappointment felt at the dividend announcements which did i.ot fulfill ex pectations, though the amounts carried fur ward exceeded those of last year. The week closed with money rates easier and with a good prospect of a reduction In the bank rate next Thursday. Consols ros sharply In the middle of the week on government purchases, but the advance was not main tained. HKKLIN, Jan. 25. Business on the bourse last weak was quieter than during the previous period. Operators regarded the San Carlos Incident as likely to retard tho settlement of the Venesuelan difficulty and therefore unwise and uunecuasary. The In-' fluence exercised on the stock market by the bombardment was accordingly in the direction of greater reserve In speculation. American securities experienced an un eventful week. Lanauians snowea mucu lighter trading than previously, weakening in sympathy with Wall street. Domestic loans Improved upon the cheapening of money.

Germany's Pig Iron production in r.m- amounted to S.4o2,6iO tons, against 7.7!67 In l!d.

The market was in good stupe all the week until Friday, when buyers took off about all they put on the earlier part of the week. A good proportion of the receipts all the week consisted of corn fed steers, and the market ruled active and stronger until Friday. The top price of the week was $6.10, but a finished load would probably have sold considerably above that figure. The bulk of the cattle received sold from $4.00 to $4.50. On Friday the market eased off a little, so that as compared with the close of last week the market may be quoted Just about steady. The cow market also ruled active and higher the first of the week, and on Wednesday and Thursday was right close to 26c higher than the close of last week, but with Friday's decline the market for the week could not be quoted over a dime higher. The commoner class of cows sold largely from $1.50 to $2.75, with the medium grades going from $2.75 to $3.60. and choice cows selling from $3.50 to $4.25, with an occasional sale above that figure. Rulls were rather slow sale all the week, but still prices did nut go much of any lower, the big decline of last week appar ently being Eatislactory to buyers. Veal calves commanded strong prices, and choice grades are now selling from $6.25 to $6.50. There was a good demand all the week for desirable grades of stockers and feed ers, and prices moved steadily upw'ard. The top price of the week waa $4.45, but they were good. As compared with the close of last week it Is safe to quote the market 104il5c higher on good stuff. The commoner grades are also a little stronger. The bulk of the cattle now coming forward sell from $3.50 to $3.90. HOGS There was about an average Sat urday's run of hogs here today and the market opened active and 6fil0c higher than yesterday. The bulk of the good weight hogs sold from $6.65 to $6.70 and the prime loads sold from $6.70 to $6.75. The lighter loads sold from $6.60 down. Trading was very brisk on the start and It was not long-before the bulk of the offer ings was disposed of. Toward tbe close, however, the market was not as good, as nackers seemed to have their more urcent orders rilled, so that the late arrivals wera slow sale and did not bring much better prices than were paid yesterday. Kellers were holding for the morning prices, so that the day was well advanced before sverything was disposed of. For tne ween receipia 01 nogs nave ueen little more liberal than they were laet week, but as compared with the same week of last year there is still a big decrease. Prices nave been fluctuating back and forth from day to day, but still the general tendency ot prices lias ueen upward, i iid net gain for the week amounts to liirioio and the week closed at tne highest point reached since October 25.

Fur 1 the week receipts show an increase over the previous week and also over the rime week of last year. The demand, though, has beer fully equal to the occar-lnn and an active, steady niarket has been experienced all the week. The only exception was on Friday, wh'n buyers realize! that they had forced prices at this point higher lhan at any other, and as a result they took off a little, but as compared with the close of last week the market rn all d-srille grades of both sheep and lambs Is fully steady. The common k'.ndai, of coons-, have been neglected to s lme extent w hen buyers could get ennui.h of the better grades to till their ordvra, but still evn the half-fat kinds are aa nign us they were last week. The receipts of feeders have been ex tremely lijiht all the week and as there haa been quite a demand prices are fully steady. Quotations: Choice western lambs, tr,0"l 6.75: fair to goi.d lamlis.
