TIIE CMAlIA DAILY BEE: 5IONDAT, APRIL 0, 1903. MINING IN TIIE BLACK HILLS Mam'susl Bicu On ii Tafcen from th Turk Group. ASSAYS HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS ffrlnfiii Heated In rook fttove Are Covered with Gold Blisters Principal Owner la John MrKennn. CUSTER CITT. S. D., April 6. (Special.) Development work on the Turk group of claims east of the clr has disclosed toma very rich ore. assays front the samples brought to Cutter City running up Into tha hundreds of dollars. John MeKenna, the principal owner of the ground, came to Custer City last week and with him brought several sacks of apeclmena taken Indiscrimi nately from the face of the drift In the Turk No. S. Thla drift atarta alpng the course of a ledge from the bottom of a Ixty-foot shaft, and for all of-lta distance la In ore, tho vein being about twelve feet wide. The apeclmena shown are remark ably rich, cooatatlng of quartz besprinkled ail over with blsmuth-tcllurlde and syl vanlte. Specimens placed In the oven of a cook atove and heated to the right tem perature, come out literally covered with blisters of gold. The ore Is very rich, and tbe worth of the email amount of apecl mena exhibited by Mr. McKenna will mount to aeveral hundred dollars. Foster V Russell have completed their contract on tho Provo mine, eight miles wat from Custer City, and owned by J. N. Wright. They have sunk shaft to a depth of thirty-five feet, which has fol lowed down for that distance a vertical, mall where exposed at tho surface, but which has widened out to five feet In the bottom of tbe shaft. The vein on Ita out cropplngs carried good valuta, but with depth these have grown, and oocaalonat freegold specimens were met with In the material extracted from the shaft. Mien In Cnater County, Tha mica deposits of Cuater county are again attracting attention, those which have been worked paying well, especially those of the Porcelain A Marble Co. C. K. Shoemaker, who has In tbe past done con siderable development work on hla ground three miles southeast of the city, la pre paring to resume work, and haa aa good a abowlng of mica aa appeara any place In the district. The sheets of mica occur with great regularity and the deposits are 'vary thick, and aa all of the product of the mine, up to an Inch or so In width, oan ba used and haa a commercial value, the work ing of the ground ahould pay well. The Crown Mica company, a new organisation, la preparing to begin operatlona on a large acale, and operatlona will probably begin next week upon Its ground. The deposits upon the company's ground occur with great regularity and are very easily worked. At the present time there la being mined and shipped from Custer county mines about 100,000 pounda of mica every month, all of It being taken by one firm, which haa a contract to purchase the product of the Porcelain A Marble Co.'a mines, and would be glad to take as much more. The de mand created for mica In tbe electrical trades makes a good market for evon the broken fragments from the large sheets, and the Industry of supplying the demand for mica promises to be one of the most Important of Custer coifnty, for the trade of mica produced here Is just as good aa that produced In Canada or In Any other of the atatea of the union. The London. and Dakota Mining and Smelting company is the name of a new corporation which haa been organized to work and develop Cuater county mines. Th officers of the company are as follows; Sir James Francis Whitley of London, pres. Ident; .Thomas Delicate, Custer City, vine president; E. L. Grantham, ' Cuater City, secretary; Lord C. P. T. Colmey, London, treasurer:' "The gentlemen who are the principal stockholders In the company have had experts examining the mines for sev eral weeks, and It was upon thei.' report that tha property waa purchased and tho company organized. The property constats of two full clalma on the north fork of French creek, eight miles northwest from Custer City, and was formerly the property of J. D. and Thomaa Carroll, who parted with It for a large consideration. The property has attracted attention for a long time on account of the rich ore which It haa at times produced, some of it going a high as $3,000 to the ton gold. The vein, vertical, la not a large one, but what there la of it is aaid to be very rich. The new company will at once put a large force of miners at work to thoroughly develop the property, and when this, work baa auffl clently, advanoed will probably erect a melting plant, aa tha ore la ameltlng proposition. Falsebottom Proves Rich. DEADWOOD. S. D.. April 5. (Special.) Tho Falsebottom, or Garden City district, la proving, after yeara of waiting, to ba . one of the richest and most productive In the Black Hills, and development work now In progress on the various properties in tha district proves that it la even rlrh than waa ever dreamed of by Ita earliest prospectors. One of the companies, in fact the principal company operating In the dis trict, which ha done tha moat in i..inn ita resources, haa been ths Penobscot, which has already expended In tbe neighborhood of $1,000,000 in the purchase of ground and the erection of planta there. Since Ita forty-ton wet crushing cyanide plant went Into commission last February, the Penob acot company haa not missed a n,i. monthly cleanup, and Its gold bricks have Deen oi an average valua of $15,000 each. The company, besides treating at ita own plant 160 tons of ore a day, has for the past month been making ahlpmenta of imny-nve tons or smelting ore a day to eaatern treatment plants. This smelting ore waa discovered aeveral weeks ago In tne Realization, one of tbe mines of th company, and haa averaged In value $50 ton, although occasional bunches of I Is met with which run up Into the huo dreds. This ore la too rich to treat h cyanldatlon, and only tha lower grades are oeing treated at tbe company's Dlant at Maltland. Tbe Garden City district pro duces the richest cyanldlng ores of any dla trlct In the Hills, snd this is carried out not only tn tbe workinga of the Penobscot but in thoae of other groups of claims As soon as railroad communication ran ba had with the outside world, the shipment rrom tne Penobscot will be more than counted, ior it la said that the rich shoot is one or the argeat contained In any the company's numerous properties. of Morning Glory De.eloplaa-. The Morning Glory Mining company is developing a group of clalma at the head of Falsebottom creek which contalna fifty- four acrea. The present work of the com pany consists of a tunnel which la being driven to Intercept a itrcn vein which shows on the top of tbe bill, lu the sur facs workings alcng the tonne o! thl;. vein soma very good Ore has been found, ao that It la believed when th) I'mnol ' likes toe vein, which will be at a depth of aevaral hundred feet, ore of a good commercial grade will be atruck. The general forma tion nf the property la pcrphyry, which Is crossed by several strong phonollte dykes. Several well denned veins on adjoining properties are ahowa to have direction toward ths Morning Glory ground, ao It Is reasonable to believe that the bopea of Ita evnsra will be realised when ths preaaat development work ahall have bean com-1 pleted. The Garden City Mining company, after long season of idleneaa, will again re sume operatlona on its property, which ad joins that of the Penobscot. The company owns seventy-four acres of ground In the district, and upon It haa been exposed In surface workings considerable ore, similar In grade to that now being mined In the Penobscot. It Is proposed by the company to follow this surface showing and en deavor to uncover supply sufficient to warrant tbe erection of a treatment plant of Ita own. The work will be started upon Immediately, and It Is hoped thst the de velopment will be such that the company will be able to erect a mill before the year haa passed. Only Wnltlnar for Spring. The Echo Mining company, which owna sixty acrea of land west from Maltland, haa made arrangements to begin work on Us property as soon aa tbe roada get a little better. The ground of the Echo com pany Is located on the Phonollte belt, and a number of good ore bodlea have been ex posed upon it. The organization la com posed of Boston capitalists, and their scheme of development la an extensive one. The Eclipse Mining company la another outfit which la preparing for extensive de velopment work In the district on property which is showing up well, and on which ore of high grade occura in atrong shoots. The company Is now installing a steam hoist and pumping machinery. The ahaft which la on the property waa put down to Ita present depth by a whim, but tbe water Is now coming in so fast that it la Impossible to handle it with the present equipment, so more up-to-date machinery la necessary. The company, the ground of which is located on Miller gulch, haa ono of the best prospects In the district. Tbe recent free gold strikes In the Cus ter Peak district, In the aouthern part of Lawrence county, still continue to attract attention, and the work which is being done on the different properties continues to bring results. Haakc Brothers sre now tbe owners of the famous Flnlander mlne. The atrlke hs developed Into a strong vein of rich ore, which la now opened up for width of twenty-five fee. The ore la just as rich as when the at tention of prospectors and others waa first attracted to It several months (.go. The Hannschka and Little ground, two of the oldest groups In tho district continue to produce rich ore, and with every day s work appear to grow better.

They arrived here last evening. The marriage was unexpected by their friends, and to them aa well aa to tbe families of the two it will prove a surprise.

MORGAN INTERVIEW HELPS Betl Sitntt'oi in tha Stock Market it Clearly Set Out hj Him, MONEY SHOULD SOON BE. EASIER So Strong Bnll Market la Poaalhle, However, t'ntll tho Seenrltles Hold In Reaerve Are All Digested. NEW YORK. April 6-8peclal.)-Henry Clews, In his weekly Wall street letter, says: The Interview with Mr. Morgan had a decidedly beneficial effect, not so much upon values an In fixing public attention upon a few facts that should not be overlooked when the pendulum seems Inclined to swing towards unreasonable pessimism. He was perfectly correct In saying that the bulk of undigested securities were in strong hands; thst there wss no danger of their being dislodged; that the banks were amply protected, and that the country at large continued prosperous. It was perhaps wholesome that these facts should have the Impress of authority upon them, in order to prevent exagg ration or undue apprehension from so prolonged a decline, but there the effect of the Interview seemed to end and the market while since steadier has shown no disposition to advance. What are the real reasons for present hesitation In the stock market? They are these: 1. The actual scarcity and consequent high rates of money. 2. The small returns upon good securities compared with current Interest rates. 3. The large supply of undesirable securi ties awaiting a market. 4. Large pending Issues of good securities that will be offered at the first opportunity. fi. The bitter rivalry created by such con tests as the Southern-Union Pacific and other disquieting controversies. A genuine buoyant bull market seems Im possible in the tace of siuh conditions; still good ralllo.i ought to follow the extreme declines, been use the general financial situ ation Is sound, and because many of these conditions have already been freely dis counted. Money Slay Be Easier. Whl'e the money market is still the most Immediate adverse element, the flurry In call loans should soon be at an end, the demands Incidental to April 1 having been met, It Is satisfactory to note, without disaster. Funds thus withdrawn should soon return to the banks, and from- the middle of April until preparations for the crop movement are In order there should he little danger of stringency if speculation Is held within ordinary bounds. It would be a mistake, however, to expect very easy rates. Regular commercial and manufac turing demands are sure to be heavy, and the banks are Ilk ly to give these first consideration. Moreover, Targe sums are still under the. control of strong borrowers, who are abundantly able to resist liquida tion when they so desire. Consequently, apart from government operations It is quite certain that there will be a good de mand for money until the close of the year. There Is still another consideration affect ing tho future of the money market, nnd that In the certainty of easy conditions being short lived because of the Immense volume of new securities of a good charac ter that would quickly be created If th3 money market permitted. It Is known that our leading railroads contemplate the ex penditure of enormous sums for Improve ments, which can no longer be met out of earnings, but must be provided for through new capital creation!.. It Is certain that, as a result, we will have very unusual additions to the security markets during the next year or two, to say nothing of municipal, state and government Issues for Important amounts that are known to be forthcoming. ' No Strong Bnll Market, In the face of such facts It Is going to be very difficult If not Impossible to create bull markets on the scale witnessed In 1900 and 1901. , On the contrary we are more likely to see a downward drift. Interspersed, of course, with recoveries of considerable duration. We are fully entitled to one of these recoveries now before the summer fairly begins. Stock exchange values have undergone a very heavy shrinkage, im- firoved conditions In the money market are n sight, the crop outlook Is favorable, the farmers and Industrial classes are highly prosperous, production has not yet over taken consumption, great development Is going along In the west, railroad earnings continue heavy, our exports are large, our credit abroad Is unimpaired and everything points to continued trade activity for an other season at least. The two main drn cultles to further progress are the con gested condition of the money and security markets and the excessive Increase in costs of production among manufacturers. If any readjustment of these conditions can be effected we may look for uninterrupted firosperity. Some sort of readjustment Is mperative. for Wall street is suffering acutely from an overdose of securities and Industry from too many strikes. As to the Immediate future that will be largely governed by monetary conditions, which fortunately show signs of Improve ment. Funds are nlready beginning to re turn from the Interior, and should this con tinue, aa la probable, easier rates will pre vail. This cannot but Induce a more active and stronger market for a period at least, so that aiocks bought on concessions from present prices should prove profitable be yond much doubt. Foreign Financial. LONDON. April 6. The recovery in con sols which came late In the week had a salutary effect snd In consequence a more cheery tone pervades the stock market, all departments showing a better front It Is now believed that the period of de;resal-n has ended. Money has become easier and with the dividend distribution the stock market will be enabled to repay Its loans to the bank of England and a reduction in the Interest rate will fo:iow. American securities. Influenced by the Southern Pa cific fight, remained rather dull last week, though they displayed a better tone yes terday. In the Improved prospect on the stock market, however, trie Macedonian troublea are a decidedly discouraging fea ture and the situation In the Balkans has created a nervousness which is keeping the public from trading until something more definite Is known aa to the ruture in those regions. BERLIN, April 6. The more serious as nert assumed by tho Macedonian question. together with Ihe continued concern about the Situation on Hail street rauntru wrtui nesa In most departments of the boerse last week. The trading In government fund was Mailt. The announcement re garding the Issue of the rrw German 3 per cent loan, amounting to $72,500,000 with a aiiharrlntion trice of 92. caused some selling of government bonds In order to buy back the new issue wnicn in augniiy cheaper. Nevertheless the existing 3 per cents held their own because the March Interest paymenta liberated money for which Investment had to be found. Th. boerse revlewa still give mum at tention to the New York situation, some writers asserting that a great lack of con fidence In the situation on Wall atreet pre vails in Germany. The interview giv J by j. P Morgan regarding the financial out look' Is discussed In various ways. The Frankfurter Zeltung ssys that Mr. Mor gan's optimism Is undoubtedly due to his g gantlc engagementa. Therefore, he above all men is unfitted to give an objective Judgment on the financial situation and prospects. Canadian Pacifies showed no develop ment of Interest. The snnouncement of the reduction In Iron prices in the United States caused heavy selling of Iron share on Friday and Saturday, the quotailons oeing what they had gained earlier In trm week through several advances In price of Iron here. Most Iron shares at the eloaa of the week were moderately lower. Coal shares advanced strongly upon heav er sales of coal to Belgium ana gooa annual reports by several of the large companies. Money rates have been moderating sinca the monthly settlement and foreign ex change rates also are tending to become csler The unprecedented pressure on tin Rrlchsbank for th'.s reason seems to be outweighed by the expectation that the bank of England will reduce Ita rate thl.i week. ' Dry Goods Market. MANCHESTER, April 6. The unsettled situation regarding cotton kept the cloth market here last week on the borders of stagnation. The general demand during most port of the week was of an unim portant character and theurn over was poor. There waa a slight Increase of tran (actions at the week-end. some buyers operating whe'e the sellers were pressing f r business. The general outlook In Indl is satisfactory, encouraging the belief that there will be an lnereas- of trade when prices become settled. There were som sales of India in light frabhles. The stan dard shirting were unsaleable. The chlni trade was limited, thnush there were many low offers. Some minor outlets have take-i the supplies necessary for the rearon'a requirements The buyers generally iri confining their nnrchaaea to small psrclj which sre requisite to keep up their as-or'm-nt. Puslness in yarn waa devrll of Interest, the demand continuing to be of a retail character. American Pnaaengera May Land. i GUAT AQUIU Ecuador, April 6.

SAME FIGHT ENDS TWO WAYS American Officer frays Rebels Win, While Others Report Govern ment Victory. SANTO DOMINOO CITY. Wednesday, April 1. At 9 o'clock yesterday morning the government troops outside ths city at tacked the Insurgents In the suburb of Pajarito. The most severe engagement since the rebellion broke out ensued and the Insurgents were driven back, the artil lery from the fort covering their retreat. General Vasques is about to march on the city. The rebels are disposed to fight to tbe last and It Is supposed that If they are compelled to abandon the city they will embark on the gunboat Independence, which Is In their power, and go to tbe northern part of the island and join the rebels there. The United States cruiser Atlanta has landed fifty marines to protect the Ameri can consulate. In the engagement at Pajarito, the eon tending forces used firearms and cutlasses. Severil persons were killed Inside the city by stray shots. The governmi nt gunboat Presidents bom barded the town last night and one shell fell Inside the yard of the German con sulate, but did not explode. The surgeon of Atlanta assisted In attending the wounded, many of whom died for want of timely assistance. The members of the consular and dip lomatic corpa met today and appointed a commission to notify both sides that they mum observe the rules of war, and to de mand twenty-four notice before any attack is made on the town. In order that the foreign residents may go to a place of safety. WASHINGTON, April 6. A report to the navy department from Commander Turner of the cruiser Atlanta at Santo Domingo City shows another repulse to the govern ment troops who made an attempt to take the city from the revolutionists.

The golden jubilee of the Young Men's Christian as sociation of Louisville was celebrated to day. The chief speaker was William R Harper, president of tbe University of Chicago, who spoke on the relation of re ligion to the higher life. In ths course of his speech Mr. Harper said: The higher life Is always associated with the individual. It mantfeste Itself In many different forms, yet. all are closely related. The fullest vindication of this higher life stands out In th3 long list of men who have become famous In art, In science and in philosophy. Then there is ethical pur pcae, or shall we say, moral effort. We are striving toward the pure and beautiful and good or are falling away toward tnat which Is ignorance and evil and darknesa. The line between the higher and the lower life Is not the same for any two men. Mv question Is this: What has religion to do with this higher life? In my use of the word "religion I ue It In the brosu es: sense. I am not referring to the church. The church ia of a variable character. But teilglon is eternal. Poetry and art may brighten life, but they can never bring the one thing needful. The fact la that religion la of itself and for itself and it cannot be confounded with art or philosophy.

For the week receipts have been fairly liberal, as there Is an in crease over the corresponding week of last year, hut there Is a slight decrease as compared with the big run lust week. The beef steer market has been in good shape practically all of the week. The de. maiul on the part of packers has been equ:il to the supply and the tendency of prices has been upward. As compared with the Close of last week all clasps of cattle are about WSldc higher. Handy weight cattle are still favorites, but at the same time tho heavy cattle of good quality have sold to advantage the last day or so. The bulk of the good to choice cattle are now sell ing trom $4.40 to $4.7i, with the prime grades going mostly from 4.7u to W.9j. A finished bunch, though, would probably sell con Hlcierably above that figure, The cow market has also been active and strong most all the week, offerings have been rather moderate as compared with the total receipts and as buyers all seemed to have quite liberal orders the better grude were picked up In a hurry. All gradeu ex cept canners may be quoted lotfjloc higher than the close of last week. Canners have been slow sale snd are no more than steady for the week. Canners are selling largely from $2.00 to $2.75, fair to good cows from j $2.9 to '3.7b and choice graues irom d. h to $4.50. Bulls, veal calves and mass have shown very little change during the week, though the market may be quoted strong. Bulis are selling largely from 3.oo to S3.75 und choice grades up to $4.i0. Veal calves sell mostly from $6.00 to $6.50. The slocker and feeder market has not been quite as brisk this week as it wns last week and all but the very best grades are a little lower. Very lew warmed-up rattle ' are now selling for feeders, as the advance on beef cattle has put the warmed- ups out of reach of feeder buyers. The bulk j Ol UIO gtmu LU V i I IJ .

As compared with yesterday's rloBe the market was strong t 5o higher, or about 21sc n:gner than yes terday'a average. There were very few light hogs here today, which helps out the average price to quite un extent. Trading was quite active, so that the early arrivals were soon disposed of. There was one trsln, however, that was late In getting in, so that the close was postponed until rather late in the day. The bulk of the hogs that had any weight to them soul from $7.25 to $7.30. with prime heavies selling from $7.20 to $7.35. The lighter weights sold from $7.224j down. For the week receipts have been very light, as there Is a decrease of about 10,0i0 head as compareu wun last ween ami ot about .0u0 as compared with the corre sponding week of last year. Prices have fluctuated back and forth to quite an ex tent, but packers have been bearish all the week and as a result the tendency has beon downward. As compared with the close of last week, however, the decline only amounts to 4c. Representative sulcs: Ho. At. Bu. Pr. No. At. Sh. Pr. io to ... 1 i i4i ... 7 :s II 817 ... 7 7 U ...

The most notable sale of the day waa of a bunch of alxteen spring lambs vlilrh averaged 41 pounds and sold for $12 per rwt. This Is the highest price ever paid at this market for spring lambs and these were only of fair equality. The general opinion was that a prime bunch would have brought a good deal more than that. For the week receipts have not been quite ss heavy aa they were last week, but as compared with the corresponding week of last year there is sn Increase of about S.ftX) head. The demand for good stuff has been active all the week and prices have held just about steady. The part fat kinds have suffered a little, however, owing to the large receipts of the better grades at all points. In most cases, though, the decline on the part fat klnda would be covered by lfKjiloo and In extreme cases by bdi2Zc. The week, however, closed with good stuff In actlvs demand, with lamba selling at the highest prices of ihe season. There have been very few feeders on sale all the week and the market has shown no quotable change. quotations for wooled stock: Choice western lambs $7.35fr7.e6; fair to good lambs. $7.l04i7.25: choice Colorado iambs, $7.&Vu?.65; choice light welnht yearling, $6.4ui675; fair to good yearlings, M.Oif4.4; choice wethers, W.Ocfegi: fair, to K"d, $5.75 i6 00: choice ewes. $6.7aii6.UO; fatr to good. $5.0015.76; feeder lambs, 44.7Mi5.5il; feeler yeirllngs. $4.5"6.iO: feeder wethers, $4.')4 4 65; feeder ewes, $3.Cuj3.50; clipped Blin k sells about 5uc lower than wooled stock.
