DEADWOOD, 8. I).. Marrh . (Special.)
L. R. Ebrirh of Colorado Sprlnirs, accom
panied bjr a number of the itockholders of
the Belt Development company, operating
on tba "Homrntake" vein to the. aouth of
Lad, arrived In tha city last Thuraday
and. It It atated, will complete the arrange
ment already made for developing the
ground whlcL the company Is now holding
on ait option. The option on thla ground
expired on the flrat of the present month,
but the company aucceedc 1 In getting an
extenalon on It. Operation In the work
Inga on the ground were auapended for a
few" daya, but were resumed again on last
Wednesday, and will be continued with a
much larger force than formerly. The
company baa already placed a great deal
of money In the ground In the shape of de
velopment, having aunk upon it a 700-foot
three-compart men t shaft, from the bottom
or which It baa driven 2.000 feet of drlfta.
It la aald that under the new arrangement
made with the owners of the ground the
company will spend more money than it haa
already put into the ground in the work of
exploration, and that it will also put in
additional machinery. Several ore bodies
have been encountered In the workings of
the ground, but the Homeatake vein, the
one for which tbey had been looking, it
waa announced. Lad not been struck when
the work closed down last week, but min
ers who have worked for the company In
the deepworkings say that it haa been
struck, and that the values carried are
much higher than where the vein la being
worked In the Homeatake. However tbls
may be, it la certain that the company has
spent a fortune on the work It haa already
put In the ground, and Is prepared to spend
aa much more.
The appointment of U P. Jenkins of Lead
aa assaver in charge of the United States
aasay office in Dead wood la one which meets
with the approval of all mining men In tte
Hills. Mr. Jenkins waa a member of the
atate senate when the appointment was
made, he la a practical mining man and
heavily Interested In mining properties In
this taction. The aasay office la now one of
the moat Important federal offices in the
country, for it receives and pays for a
great deal of gold bullion during each
month. So far this month It haa shipped
over 160,000 worth of precious metals to
the mint, and the amount is increasing
' every month. Before the end of the month
three large cyanldo planta will be adding to
the amount passing through it.
Cleanups Are l.arae.
The Deadwood-Standard company, on the
last cleanup of Its mill on lohuaon gulch,
produced a brick which weighed a little
over 6,000. The plant of the company Is
now running at lta full capacity, and It Is
believed that the next cltanup will be
much larger. Plara have been drawn to
enlarge the mill to double ita present ca
pacity. The Alder Creek company on the 1r3t of
the month aent down a $5,000 rlck, the re
ault of a cleanup of Ita fifty-ton mill after
a flfteen-day run. The Alder Creek com
pany adjoins Wasp I on Yellow creek, and
is in the same character of ore, a por
phry, and an excellent' cyanldlng proposi
tion. Wasp 2 came down from Yellow
creek with an $8,000 brick, the reault of I'a
semi-monthly cleanup. The Clover Leaf
aent ita regular cleanup in from Elk creek,
about $5,000. This mine cleana up every
week. The Golden Crest made lta Brat
regular cleanup after a month of experi
mental working of lta new mill on Straw
berry, and the brick weighed about IS. 000.
Thla mill haa a capacity of but thirty-five
tona a day and had not been running full
all of the time. It la the Intention to en
large it at once and bring lta daily ca
pacity up to 100 tons.
xn Important mining deal waa consum
mated last week in Spruce gulch property
by which the Lexington Hill Mining com
pany, composed of Colorado jnd Black Hills
people, has acquired title' to 320 acrea of
good mining ground there. The property in
volved in the deal conalsta of the Highland
Chief group and 'the Belle Eldridge aud
Annie groups.
Developing Tin Property,
The Tlnton is the name of a new com
pany which haa beon recently organized for
the purpoae of working the tin deposits on
Bear gulch. The company was organised
In Chicago under the laws of the state of
Illinola and Interested in it are a number
of Deadwood people. The company haa re
cently acquired a large acreage of land In
the Bear gulch country and upon aome of
Ita claims haa put a great deal of develop
ment. Recently a mill teat of S00 tona of
the ore waa made, and from the teat It was
demonstrated that the ore rarrlea a much
higher percentage of .tin than does that
mined In the English mines of Cornwall
The new company haa fitted up offices and
boarding housea on Bear gulch and haa
made every preparation for entering upon
the work of getting out ore on a large
acaie.
J. B. la Erratic.
KEYSTONE. 8. D., March 8 (Special.)
The work which haa been done on the J.
R. mine during the paat few montha has
resulted Id again finding the freemllllng
vein from which ao much rich oro was
taken by the former ownera before they
lost It in the country rock several years
ago. A abaft waa started on the ground
forty feet below the point where the old
worklnga ceaaed, and at a depth of 145
feet a drift waa run, which atruck the
vein at a distance of seventy-five feet. It
waa atlll In the aame condition aa where
abandoned in the old worklnga. It waa
about forty feet wide, between alata walla
quarts and country rock mixed, but the
quarts carried aa high valuea aa it did In
the old worklnga. The ahatt waa continued
to a depth of S00 feet, and at that depth
the vein came Into the ahaft, but In a dif.
ferent atate respecting the gold, the ma
terial encaaing it being very refractory
It la a atrong vein, and drifting' haa been
dona on It for a dlatance of 100 feet in the
hope that at thla dpth the freemllllng ore
would again be atruck, but ao far thla
haa not been the case. The ere carrlea
high value, and experiments are being
made with a view. to And the beat system
of treatment for It.
The ahaft which the Grand Gold Mining
company haa been putting down on Ita
ground near thla camp, haa reached a depth
of about thirty-five feet, at which depth
the vertical which ta being followed haa
widened out to four feet. The ore pana
well, a long atring of gold being obtained
in such tests. Tha era alao carries a
large quantity of iron, and thla Iron carrlea
gold, aa assay tests made prove. The
company proposes to continue operations
on the ground and thorougijy develop the
vertical on which the wcrk la being done
The ahaft on the ("lira Bella la now
down ItS feel. The vein at that depth cov
era the bottom of the ahaft. The or at
that depth rarrlea some freemllllng values,
but the greater pail of the valuea occur
In a refractory atate. The ore aasaya high
and will cyanide. The company haa made
arrangements to put a hoist on the ground
and to make other Improvements.
The Gold Standard Development com
pany la making arrangements to put a
force of men at work on Its Raid Hills
property and operatlona will be begun
wltnout delay. A shaft 100 feet deep will
be sunk and from that depth drifts will be
started both ways along the course it
the vertical, which shows up on the sur
face. Some very good assaya have been
received from or broken from the crop
plngs. ao It is believed that with depth the
valuea will Increase.
Chicago partlea have taken hold of the
Bullion group of mines near this camp and
will at once begin aperatlons on It. The
Bullion has received a great deal of de
velopment work In the past, and haa one
or two large ore bodies considerably de
veloped. One tunnel has been driven Into
the ground from the Battle Creek aide for
a distance of 840 feet, and from the portal
of this tunnel 200 feet, a drift has been
started, which la already twenty-five feet
In an ore body, which glvea assay re
turns at $11. At a distance of 100 feet from
the crosscut an upraise has been started,
running all the way to the surface, and
for that distance In ore. There is also on
the property another tunnel 3,"i0 feet long,
180 feet below the apex of the vein. In
which the ore shows Just as good values.

SHARP DECLINE IN STOCKS
Stringent Uonttarr Conditions and Con

MEN WHO LOSE ARE ABLE TO STAND IT
Labor Sltnatloa One of the Thlnas
which Tends to .Make the Gen
eral Bnalneas Outlook More
or Less t'ncertaln.
NEW YORK, March 8. (Special.) Henry
Clews In his weekly Wall street letter says:
The stock market has experienced rather
sharp declines this week, the result nt un
settling rumors, Urn rittrs for money and
further forced liquidation. A conaiovruble
short Interest had been created, and cover
ing on th! account served to check the de
cline at end of the week. While the mar
ket waa In this sensitive condition no at
tention was paid to good railroad earnings
or other favorable features, and the knowl
edge that several syndicates had quietly
liquidated recently at a loss or without
protlt only served to Increase the selling
pressure. In present monetary conditions
the congested condition ot the security
market was made verv apparent and th,
knowledge that further Important creations
of new railroad capital were pending wis,
of course, unfavorable to values. Many of
the financial leaders are absenl and until
their return and the effect of stringency In
cidental to the end of March is pas Tied no
real change for the better is anticipated, al
though It may prove that the worst Is now
being gradually discounted.
Continued liquidation must eventually
Improve stock market ondltlons. Mure
disappointment than necessary was per
Iraps shown at failure of the Aldrtch bill.
L'nquestlonablv some additional relict woul.1
have been afforded by the liberty which it
gave the treasury to accept other high
class bonds than governments ns collateral
for government deposits, but Tilure to se
cure this assistance is not reuliy a eerious
menace to the situation. It will compel
continued conservatism on the part of lead
ing bankers, which has us advantages, an. I
may hasten the adoption of a common
sense modern credit currency sstem. If It
furthers the latter object the Aim a h bill
will not have died in vain, and Its enemies
will have wrought more good than they
knew.
Credit Situation Stronsrer.
The monetary situation probably shows
more underneath improvement than the
weekly bank statement Indicates. In spitj
of low reserves and big loans the credit
situation Is probably strbnur tniin a year
ago. In the first pluc, a very large amount
tit our foreign Indebtedness has been can
celled, a considerable portion hnvlng bee.i
transferred to thin AMe. Tins notably
strengthened our position abroad; for, hav
ing demonstrated our financial abilities,
Kurope la tht more willing to respond to
our present demands, the course of the ex
change market Indicating the replacing of
American loans abroad. The chief trouble
here is that large sums of money are st 111
locked up In underwriting syndicates, not
in ordinary stock speculation. Fortunately
most of these syndicates are well backed
i.nd the losses arising from their liquida
tion or expiration have fallen upon those
best able to bear them. It seems very
likely that further syndicate liquidation
will hnve to be fucetl, and tne securities
thus released must find a rest.ng place be
fore the market resumes a ready healthy
rondltlon; but from the nature of the case
such a movement la likely to be gradual
and accompanied by frequent fluctuations.
One of the most satlslactory features Is
that the public is not suffering from thesi
or recent declines. Commission houses are
generally In exceptionally strong condi
tion, conservative concerns having per
sistently advised their customers to lighten
their holdings tor months past. In conse
quence the losses are falling upon wealthy
holders, whose earlier profits render them
abundantly able o meet present deprecia
tion; In fact, in many cases the losses "ire
not real, but only a failure to turn naiicr
profits Into cash. Neverthe'eas th- financial
situation is sc coniusea Dy overdoing in
some directions and by unmistakable
strength in others that no safe prediction
can be made is to the future. Further
liquidation, aa we aald, Is inevitable in
aome quarters, and if business continues
good, if thv next harvest proves t-at a'ac
fory. If we escape serious stringency next
fall, and If undesirable speculation be held
firmly In check, the market may eventually
be gradually and safely guided into a
stronger position.
I Labor Situation Threatens.
The most unsettling factor In the busl
ti"s actuation today Is the threatening and
often unreasonable demands of labor. Therj
are signs tl.at these demands have oeen
pushed to the breaking point, simply he
cause costs of production have been pushed
ao high as to .seriously curtail. If not de
stroy, profits and to check new enterprise.
Kuch an uttttude on the part of the labor
leaders ia foolish to the last degree and
will prove most unfortunate, n t only for
capital, but for labor, which In the end will
be the chief sufferer from Us own excesses
Should present demands be enlarged and
pushed to the point ot rupture. It may
easily start a reaction which. If wisdom
anil moderation prevailed, could be In
definitely postponed. Those who control
large capital and large enterprises view
the situation with serious concern. Amer
ican labor Is already securing generoua re
ward, and If costs of production are to be
further raised our industrial supremacy,
like that of Kngland a few years ago, will
receive a blow requiring years of suffering
and repentance for recovery. It should not
be forgotten that we are unavoidably an
important factor In the world's marketa,
and we cannot withdraw if we would.
Great Britain and Germany, our chief
rivala, are rapidly adopting all our beat
methods of organization and equipping
their planta with improved machinery; so
that, with lower costs for labor and smaller
capitalization, they are already able to
outrun us In the foreign markets until we
come down to the'r cost of production. The
latter event must fall with most severity
upon American labor, because lta present
extortionate policy plays right Into the
hand of foreign labor, enabling Germany
and inglai.d to undersell the American
product and secure a foothold from wh'ch
(hey will oe driven out only through costly
sacrifices and struggle.
Foreign Financial.
: LONDON, March 8.-The stock market
last week was absolutely featureless except
for Grand 'trunks, the January exports of
which caused a quick realisation by the
bulls who hud been bearing them for aome
weeks. , Thia flurry affected the gen. rat
trading, which continued dull, though
there waa still some evidence that the gen
eral public was comine into the market
Consols, which rallied last Monday on the
dividend declared, dropped when the ad
vance Induced holders to sell, and con
tinued depressed during the remainder of
the week. Americans were dull, the list
generally showing the closing prices to be
below thote of the previous week. This,
moreover, was true oi all the departments
with few ex-?eptloi.s. The scarcity of
money, the extreme cautiousness displayed
by outsiders and the depression on Wall
street were tributary causes of the un
favorable conditions prevailing here.
BKKL1N. March 8. The events In Wall
street received unusual attention on the
bourae here last week and caused specula
tors tJ show great reserve, which wUB n
creased by the rising money rates. The
domestic and government bonds lost frac
tionally and most foreign rente were
weaker. Canadian Pacilics were add
heavily owing to the reaction In New York
the week's drop being 6.37. The Influence
of Wall street operators, however, was felt
here chiefly as a borrower of money, fjr
which they were offering S per cent and
above. Much waa taken for New York
yesterday, but several of the largest Merlin
houses having New York connections
showed manliest disinclination to place
money there now, believing that the ex st
ing rates of exchange would not continue
and that they might Incur loss upon the
withdrawal of the loans. A further reiso i
for not lending to Wall street was that
German haa lent Immense sums to London
and Paris which must later reverse iha
present high rates of exchange when the
loans are repaid. The Industrial market
showed an Irregular tendency last week
Coal aharea were higher, while irons were
lower, although the iron market report
are In the main favorable. The Sliesinn
Rolling Mills association raised Its prli-ea
marks per ton for the next quarter. Th
American demand for pig Iron Increased
and American purchases are also reported
from Austria. The bunks were moderately
lower upon the disappointment of the ex
aggerated hopes of speculators caused by
the annual reports. Electrical were lower
s were also ocean transportation shares'
Machineries were partly higher. The sul
preme court of Lelpslc has reversed the
decision rendered by the Frankfurt court
which comelled the Rothschilds to refund
the money to purchasers of the Georgia
Central securities on the ground that the
prospectus contained misleading state
ments. The Hamburg and Berlin grain Im
porters are renewing their complaints re

1 A tender- to be elfectual must be .with

titled to receive the same.
2 The plaintiff In an action already com
menced is not compelled to . receive a sum
of money paid Into court In satisfaction of
his claim unless the eum B- paid Is suffi
cient to Inc.ude the costs to the time of
payment.
3 The written acceptance In thla case ex
amined and held to relate or.ly to the
amount of plaintiff s claim, and waa not
sulttcient to Include and require the pay
ment of costs on his part. .
4 The giving of an instruction which as
sumes the possible existence of a fact, or
state of facta, which the Jury has no rignt
to find, there being no evidence In support
of It, is error.
6. The trial court has no right to refuse to
receive a verdict which responds to the Is
sues and la sustained by sufficient evidence
because It contains the words "and plain
tiff to pav all cjsta." The question of costs
la one of law for the court, and such words
are merely surplusage.

It la error for the court, over the objec

that under the deposit made In the court .f

2 Where medical attendance Is furnished
the husband under the circumstances men
tioned in the first, headnote and while the
family Is residing In thla state, and the
fumlly afterward removes to a sister state,
a Judgment against the husband in the
state to which Tie has removed and the re

the creditor to proceed against the wife for
the collection of hla demana.

S? The mere fact that a creditor haa in

2. A creditor by fraudulently encumbering
or concealing the property of an Insolvent
principal debtor bo as to delay or embar

CATTLE There were a few cattle In the
yards this morning, but scarcely enough to
make a test of the market. For the week
supplies have been fairlv liberal, but still
there la a decreaee ns compared with lust
week. When comparisons are made with
the same week of last year, however, it
will be seen that there Is a good substan
tial Increase. The table above will show the
exact figures.
The beef steer market has been In very
satisfactory condition all the week. Pack
era have apparently had liberal orders, so
that each day's receipts have been dis
posed of In good season. As compared
with the close of leat week. It Is safe to
quote the market strong to a dime higher.
All grades have sold to better advantage
thla week than last and shippers have been
betttr satisfied with the prices they received
than for some little time paat. The bulk
of the fair to good cattle have sold from
)4.16 to 14.50. Good to choice $4.50 to 15.01'
and strictly prime cattle may be quoted
from 15.00 to 5.50.
The cow market has also been In pretty
good shape all the week. There haa beer,
some unevenness to the trade, so that some
bunches sold to betir advantage than
others, but as a general thing cuttera and
the better grades of beef cows are about
steady for the week. Cannera have been
fomewhat neglected and are, perhaps, a
shade lower. Good lightweight heifers have
been In strong demand and the prices paid
show an advance for the week amounting
to 15i20c. Cancer have sold from 11.75 to
$2.75. Fair tu good cows from $2.75 to $3.50,
and choice grades from $3.50 to $4.25.
Bulls have sold to better advantage this
week than last, and are, If anything, a
little higher. Veal calve8 are selling in Just
about the same notches they have for some
time paat.
The supply of stockers and feeders has
been moderate and aa there waa quite a
brisk demand from the country the market
ruled active and atrong. Fair to good stock
cattle sold from $3.50 to $3.75. Good to
choice. $3,7544.50, and common stuff from
$3 50 down. Representative sales:

HOGS-There was not a heavy run of
hogn today for a Saturday, and aa other
markets were a little higher prices here
advanced generally about a dime. Trading
waa fairly active, ao that the bulk of the
offerings waa disposed of in good season.
Good heavy hogs eold largely from $7.15 to
$7.26 and a little bunch brought $7,274. The
medium weights sold from J. 11 to $7.15, and
the light stuff from $7.'u do-n. The heavy
weights were In the nest demand today, the
i.ume as has been the case fur some time
past, and salesmen occasionally thought
they did not sell the lighter loads quite a
dime higher.
Receipts of hogs this week have been
rather light, aa there Is a decrease both
as compared with last week and with the
corresponding week of last year. Aa a re
sult prices have moved steadily upward
and have reached the highest uoint since
laat October. Representative sales:

SHEEP There were not enougti aheep
here today to make a market, but for the
week supplies have again been very liberal,
aa there is a good Increase both over last
week and also over tha aame week of last
year. For the year to date the Increase
amounts to about 75,000 head.
The sheep market has been In very sat
isfactory condition all the week. The qual
ity of the offerings haa been the beat of
the season, and aa a result the prices paid
have been the highest. As compared with
the close of laat week the market may
safely be quoted fully steady on desirable
grades of ewes, wethers and yearlings, and
the demand haa been fully equal to the
supply.
The lamb market, however, has suffered
at all points, aa receipt have been very
liberal. The decline here haa been fully
254N', and In some cases aa much as 50c.
All klnda have Buffered, the better grades
aa well aa the common kinds, bul the
greatest decline has been on tha part fat
kinds. Half-fat sheep sre also a little
weak, but still the prices paid have not
shown much change.
Feeders have been 111 verv light .fupply
all the week, and the demnnd has . been
sufficient to hold the market steady. ,
