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.

"Sir," he aald to her father, "this Is a

bonds of sentiment. Perhaps you have

'I can't aa'y I have," replied the stern
parent, "but 'bat needn t detain you.
'Of course not," ssid the youth with sn
affable smile. "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

"Good." said the old man. "And how
about the coal? Do you expect -me to

"Certainly not," cried the youth. "I'll

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

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.

CATTLE There were not enough cattle
here today to make a market, but for the
week receipts are about the same as for the
previous week, and as compared with the
same week of last year there is quite an
increase. 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. Representative

8HF.F.P There were no sheep or lamb
offered on the market today, everything
that came In being sulci to arrive, so that t
a test of the market was not made. 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.
