DEAD WOOD. 8. D., March 29. (Special.)
Tha deep snows of last week, which
covered the trail throughout the mining
district to a depth of three and four
feet, ha not, seemingly, interfered with
the prospector and his work in the moun
tains. It haa kept thos who are develop
ing properties close to their ground and the
result ha been that more work ha been
don during the paat ten day than would
otherwise have been accomplished.
Partlea In from Raspberry gulch. In the
Ctnter Teak district, say that the work
In that neighborhood ha uncovered sev
eral good ore shoots, the material all being
of high grade from the standpoint of a cya
nldlng proposition. This district ha not
attracted much attention, but should th
report which are coming from there prove
true, thla spring will seer a great deal of
work don there and the Installation of
much machinery for th better working of
the mine. On the Fassold group of claim
two large shoot of aallclous or have been
exposed In th workings, both of them
carrying good commercial values. It la
too early to talk of putting In treatment
plants there, but the owners believe that
the developments now under way on th
ground will, before the aprlDg haa passed,
warrant them In making arrangement for
the erection of a treatment plant.
The Custer Peak company, which own a
largo acreage of ground In this vicinity,
haa kept a force of men engaged all of
the winter developing lt properties, and
ha met with flattering results, several
good ore bodies having been discovered. It
Is said that the company will Increase Its
working force Just so soon as the road
get In condition to allow th transportation
of heavy machinery to the different work
ings, and that th development will be
carried on on an extensive scale.
Daunnsj of Fifty Thousand.
The damage to th Hidden Fortune oom
pany by the destruction by fire of one of
Its shaft houaea and hoisting and air
compressor plant last Wednesday night
ill amount to at least $50,000, the de
struction to the timbering in the large
three-compartment working ehaft having
been greater than at first supposed. The
shaft will have to be retlmbered and re
equipped for a depth of at least 150 feet,
and some Idea of the coat of this work
alone may bo had when I. Is stated that
each of the three eompartmenta la 4V4x5
feet In the clear, timbered with squared
twelve-Inch acts and lagging.' Th com
pany' superintendent ha prepared plana
tor a new shaft house, which will be 120
60 feet, with a drying room for the us of
miner to change their clothe when com
ing off shift. The new building will con
tain a hoist capable of lifting material
from a depth of 1,000 feet; an air com
pressor plant, large enough to furnish
power t run twenty-five drills, and an
electric light plant for lighting the work
ings ' underground and the buildings. It
will be a much better plant than the on
destroyed, and work upon It will begin at
once, the machinery having already been
ordered. The destruction of th plant at
thla point will not interfere with the
starting up of the company' big mill on
Whltewood creek, below Deadwood, which
it scheduled for April 1. Thla plant wa
to have been In ope ration by the flrat of
th year, but a railroad accident. In which
great deal of the machinery entering
Into Its equipment was destroyed delayed
the completion of It. It will be started on
the first, so the management ay. aure,
and It la expected that the Initial run of
the big plant will meet with th expecta
tions of thos Interested; at any rat the
people of the Hills will be disappointed
should it not do so.
I P. Jenkins of Lead wilt take posses
sion of the United States assay office In
thla city on the first of Che month, re
llevlng P. J. Mtnlter of Chicago, the pres
ent superintendent. Mr. Ml niter haa made
an cfflclent .oOlclal and while the people
are sorry to see him go out of office they
have always felt that th position was one
which belonged to the Black Hill and the
appointment of Mr. Jenkins of Lead ha
been a moat popular one. especially with
the mining men of th country. Mr. Jen-
kin will retain the prent office force.
Vincent Succeeds .Clinton.
N. W. Chapman ha resigned the post
tlon of superintendent of the Portland and
Clinton Mining companies, and haa been
tucceeded by H. 8. Vincent of Deadwood.
Under the management of Mr. Chapman
both of the companies hav been Tory auo-
cessful, and a th now superintendent is
a man of experience and practical mining
knowledge, th companies will lose noth
Ing by the change.
The Qolden Reward Mining company la
mining on an average of 250 ton of ore
a day from It four mines near Terry, the
Tornado, Double Standard, Fannie and Sun
dance. Of this amount 150 tons a day are
being ahlpped to the company cyanide
plant in Deadwood, while the balance la di
vided between th smelters at Denver and
East Helena, Mont. The high grade orea
are being ahlpped to the smelter, while
the lower grade are being sent to th
cyanide plant at Deadwood for treatment
The cyanide plant of the company has been
running eontlnuoualy, although but part of
the stack capacity of th big smslter of th
company ha been Idle since tha labor
troubles of hut "rear. 'It ta -said that th
company may again ' atari up the amelter
at It full capacity -before long, the rich
smelting ore which haa made the mine
of th company famous occurring In larger
bodies and with higher value.
Ex-General Manager Hoi brook .' : of the
Horseshoe Mining company Is out In a cir
cular to the stockholders of the concern,
In which he endeavors ta place the blam
for th present tangled shape of the com
nanv'e affairs Uson the shoulders ot tha
new management. It Is interesting reading
for the stockholder, but poor consolation.
Th new management, however, appears to
be In earnest with the reforms which It
propoaea to Inaugurate, and tha Hill
people have hopes that It will pull th
company through all right, but know tha
It will ,tak a good long time to remove
from it operation th taint of "get-rlch
quick."
Grlaaley Bear te the For.
HILL CITT. 8. t., Maroh 29. (Special.)
The Urtasly Bear Mine, Ave mile east
from HIU City, which In the early 'to wa
worked by Robert Flormann, and which on
the surface produced a great deal ot rich
ore, will again become an active producer
shou'd th plana ot th Lacotah Mining
eompan, whios now haa possession of th
ground, not fall through. Mr. Flormann
worked th mine In 180. treating the ore
which he took from It In a one-stamp mill
crushing about three or four ton a day. H
waa particular aa to th quality of th ore
he worked, taking nothing but th richest
and hunting for tt all of the time, paying
no attention whatever to th development
of the property, and th result wss that
ha aooa I oat the vein and not havlag the
means or th facilities at that time to
engage In a systematic search for It, he
abandoned work. He simply worked the
or ear the surface, and took only what
waa easy to get out. The property last
yesr csme Into the possession of the La
cotah Mining company, the principal stock
holders of which are Peoria, 111., men and
since that time it haa been receiving sys
tematic development. The work haa dis
closed a good vein of ore at a greater
depth than th rid workings, which car
ries ore free milling tcr the greater part,
but with some of the values not amenable
to amalgamation. The vertical la a strong
one, and all of the vein matter will pay to
run through a atamp mill, the values which
woul be lost at present not amounting to
much, but as the experience of all who
have followed mining In this district shows,
that the ore In the mines grow refractory
with depth, the company will probably dls
msntle the present little mill and bjlld a
new one of twenty or forty stamps, and
mak arrangements to retreat the tailings,
probably by the cyanide process. The prop
erty is regarded by all who are familiar
with it as being one of the best In the
neighborhood, and with the proper kind of
a treatment plant Installed should be made
a paying proposition.
Hely Terror's Keystone Vein.
The Holy Terror Mining company at the
preaent time Is devoting Its attention to a
thorough exploration of the Keystone vein,
which was struck In a drift from the 00
foot level of the Holy Terror. It Is re
ported that Important ore disclosures have
been made In the workings, sufficient, in
fact, to keep the mill of the company work
ing for an indefinite period. The menace
ment of the company Is now in good hands
and when ths mill doea start up again It
will be worked to the profit ot the stock
holders. The Clara Belle company has purchased
the hoisting plant of the Edna Exploration
company of Garden City and will move It
to Its ground near this city. The plant will
be Installed at the. new working shaft of
the Clara Belle, which has been following
the vein, and which now haa reached a
depth of 190 feet. The hoist will be used
to take material from the shaft, which st
the present depth Is In ore, and will te
ult In the company's mill again rlarting
up. The' ore of the Clara Belle is very rich,
and if It Is possible to save all of Its
values by the free milling process It should
prove to be another Holy Terror.
FlndlnsT Coal Near Whltewood.
WHITEWOOD, S. D., March 21 (Spe
cial.) A diamond drill haa been put In
operation south of Whltewood for the pur
pose of exploring the lower formations for
coal. T. E. Peters has lately secured con
trol of 2,000 acres of land In the vicinity
of Whltewood and will continue hla ex
plorations during the coming spring and
summer. The formation Is right for coal,
while the indications In numerous placea
are good. Quantities of lignite have been
found clos to the surface, but It la be
lieved that at a greater depth a good grade
of bituminous coal will be found, which
can be easily worked from the surface. The
discovery of a deposit of coal so close to
Lead and Deadwood would mean untold
riches for its lucky finder, being a better
paying proposition than the boat gold
mine.
ROCHFORD. S. D.. March 29. (Special.)
The work of moving the machinery from
the railroad to. the ground of the Co
lumbia Mining company In the Hornblende
district Is going ahead, despite the bad
roads, and the management hopes to have
It In place during the next month. The
Columbia owns 600 seres of land near
Rochford, in Pennington county, part of
tt being on 8llver creek and part on Castle
creek. The company has started a shaft on
free milling vein, and has already sunk
tt to a depth of 180 feet. When th new
machinery '1 Installed this shaft will be
sunk to the 200-toot level, a station estab
lished and drifting along the vein begun.
The Columbia at thla point has a good vein
of ore, a part of which carries better than
average values, and It Is probable that
arrangements will be to ado to erect a mill
upon It this year. A party of the stock
holders, chaperoned by the officers of the
company, visited the ground this wuek and
Inspected the property.
