THE OMAHA DATLY BEE: MONDAY, JUNE 1. 1903. MINING IN THE BLACK HILLS 0 at put of Go'd for Month of May Beacbei a Big Total HiDDEN FORTUNE PLANT AT WORK Over Three Handred Tons of Ore Dally Are Belay Treated at Whlte troed Creek Mew Strike oa the Priobicoti DEADWOOD, S. D.t May . (Special.) The ablpmenta of gold from the United fitatea aaaay office for the month of May will 1 aggregate something over $200,000, which, when the fact Is taken Into conald ratlon that several of the largest produc ing plants In the Hills have been Idle for the greater part of the month, la a very good record. The Spearflsh company on Tuesday !aat sent down to the office the largest gold brick It ever turned out for a fifteen-day run. The brick weighed 1,175 ounces and was valued at aomethlng over $22,000. The mill treated on an average 230 tons of ore dally. The Dcadwood-Standard, working part of the capacity of Its 136-ton plant, sent down for the last half of May a brick valued at $5,000. The Penobscot company also sent a large brick to the office the latter part of this week, valued at something like $14,000. Wasp i and the other Tellow creek producers will swell tha list before the week Is out. After many vexatious delays, tha big plant of the Hidden Fortune company on Whltewood creek below Deadwood Is run ning steadily and haa been since the first of the week, treating 300 tons of ore dally. This ore Is being shipped from the 8t. Patrick and Grants mines of the company, located on the divide between Central City and Lead. The company will by the end of this week have Ita claims on the north end of Its ground connected with the rail road and ore shipments from them will also be made. The Colorado Iron Works company, which built the mill under a con tract to turn It over to the Hidden Fortune In -perfect running order. Is operating the mill and will continue to do so until the thirty days" test which It agTeed to make shall be completed. The big plant Is run ning smoothly at the present time and the Indications are that It will continue In op eration Indeflnlte'y. .The company has a large reserve of ore from which to draw and the probabilities are that Its product will be added to the gold production of the Hills for many years to come. Penobscot's New Strike. Another new strike has been made In the Penobscot, the second within a very short time. The new strike la an ore body ten feet in thickness and of unknown length and breadth, carrying average values of $1 a ton. The new shoot lies to the east of the main workings and has a north westerly and southwesterly course, and Is a good cyanldlng proposition. The shaft of the Big Four Mining com pany Is now down to the 100-foot level, on-J It Is getting too deep to hoist the material from the bottom by hand with- profit, so the company has decided to Install a hoist ing plant and an air compressor. The ma chinery haa been ordered, and when It arrives and Is Installed sinking will be re sumed and the shaft lowered to the 500-foot level. ; The property of the dompany Is lo cated on Deadwood gulch, along the phono lite, belt, and at the present depth of tha shaft a great deal of crosscuttlng has been done, revealing an excellent quality of or-j. The Big Four la regarded as a good propo sition Dy mining men, tor with Its present development It Is showing up almost as welt hs soma of the adjacent properties tn which a great deal more work has been James D. Hardin, who Is'the local man ager of the company-Which recently pur chased., the', ground of the Union Hill Min ing company at Galena,, has been In the city making arrangements to resume work at various- places on the property. Ho says that he will have a large force of men doing development and exploration work on tha ground by the 10th of June, and expects to accomplish results. Mr. Hardin Is well acquainted with the ground tod the work which he will put on It wl l Itot be thrown away. Horseshoe Is In Better Kb ape. The affairs of the Horseshoe Mining com pany are getting In a much better shape thnn they were a month or so ago, and the chancea for the company to again take Its place among the good things of the Hills are very promising. Work in the mines of the company has been resumed and daily shipments of rich ore to eastern smelters are being mads. Tt is given out that the smelter of the company at Rapid City will blow In again by July 1, and that there will be sufficient ore of a value high enough to warrant the aasertlon that Its next run will be profitable. . Edward Manlon, one of the best mining men In tha west, and former mine superintendent of tha Penob scot company, has been appointed general superintendent of tha Horseshoe and will enter upon the discharge of the duties in cumbent on the position by June 1. This fact , alone has given the people of the Hills more confidence In the future of the company than they have had for many months. In the Columbus property the miners have now driven the west drift on the big vein which was encountered last month on the JflO-foot level, for a distance of 270 feet, and the west wall toward which It la being run haa not been struck. The ore which Is being taken from the worklnga is carefully teated and assayed every day and ahows an average richness of $4.60 a ton, which is rich for a freemilllng proposition when the vast extent of the vein Is considered. It Is said that the company will begin build ing operations this summer, and put one of the largest stamp mills In the Hills upon tha property. The plant of the Dakota Mining company, which haa been Idle for several months, will. It Is said, be aguln started, the In ternal difficulties which hampered opera tions having been amicably adjusted. rrom Bear Lodge Mouatalas. LEAP, 8. D.. May $1. (Speclal.)-Patrlck McHugh and Charles Deane of this city have returned from a prospecting trip into the Bear Lodge mountalna of Wyoming. The gentlemen spent thi ee weeks on Ogden crek, twelve miles north of Sundance, and during that time prospected as well as the deep snow, which still covered the ground, would permit. They brought back with them numorous samples of ore which they picked up on the ground and broke from cropping. The ore Is slltclou. and closely resembles that taken from the mines on tha alllcioua belt of the Black Hills, and one or two aiys muds of It shows that it carries fair valuea. The gentemen. while In the Bare l odge stsked out several claims and will return to them sometime In June. The ore seems to occur In the flat forma tions, and some of the shoots which they could traca on the surface were at least a couple of hundred feet in width. The snow prevented their making a very close ex amination of the country, ao after staking off their claims they left for home, leav ing their tent and other camp outfit on the Kound. The country Is much higher than the Black Hills, which It adlolna on the north, but hns all of the characteristics of this section of the west. It Is covered by a heavy growth or timber, while the creeks which flow through It run sufficient water for all mining purposes. It la an Ideal country In which to prospect, and although It has been known for years that gold ex isted there but little attention haa been paid to It, the ore being of a much lower grade than that found an the Hills, but as no attempt has ever been made to go to any depth, the mining that has been don In the country Is nothing to judge It by, for as rich shoots and as extensive ver ticals may be found there as are found In the Hills. The reports and ore which Messrs. McHugh and Dean bring back with them from their trip has awakened con siderable Interest In the city, and tt Is pos sible that when they return In June they will be accompanied by several Lead peo ple and that a small stampede In that di rection will be started. The snow will be melted by the middle of June and the men who go In there will take supplies with them and start a good-sized permanent camp. The meeting of the executive committee of the American Mining congress, which was held In Lead last week, attracted con siderable attention from the mining men of the Hills, and at the last meeting of the Black Hills Mining Mens' association, held In this city, the members of the com mittee were shown especial attention. The work of the committee was purely of a business nature, preparing the program for the congress, which will meet In this city and Deadwood next September. The pro gram la now being prepared for publication, and will be given to the press In a short time. Secretary Mahon of the committee has established an office in the Hills, and will remain here until after the adjourn ment of the congress. Mil Hlah Grasp Prospers. CUSTER C1TT, 8. D.. May Sl.-Speclal The Mile High group of claims, situated In the Penobscot district, Is showing up well from recent developments. 8amples of tha ore taken from the two shafts which are being sunk on the property give re turns of $12, $58 and $76 respectively. There are twenty-six claims In the group, and on most of them more or less work has boon done, disclosing ore bodies. A company has recently been organized to develop the prop erty, and work on an extensive scale will, it Is said, be scon inaugurated. The prop erty is situated In a good locality, and Is surrounded by mines which have produced excellent ore W. W. Olds returned the first part vt this week from a visit to Michigan and says that during his absence he made ar rangements to resume work on the Old Charley mine at Four Mile. He will leave the coming week for Denver and purchase the necessary machinery to do deep mining on the property. A hoist, air compressor and the necessary pumping plant will be Installed on the property as soon as pos sible; the old mill building will be torn down and removed from Its present - lo cation to the mine, which will do aw.iy with a 1pn ore haul. At the present depth there Is enough water coming Into the workings to run a cyanide or a chlorination plant. It being fhe Intention to put In the process which shall prove from experi ments to be the one to adopt. The Old Charley "has produced some very rich ore, but Its value lies In the fact that the vein Is a large one, and, asldo from the rich streak which made It. famous, carries good average values. H. D. Clark of Hot Springs and W. R. Mlllham and 8. E. Alnslle of Custer City have recently located a group of claims In the vicinity of this city which, from th little work on the surface which has been done on them, promises to devol p Into something good. Assays from ore taken from the very outcropptngs of the veins or at a depth not to exceed twelve feet, show values ranging frpm $3.1.40 to $123 a ton. The group is being developed.

ATTACK FRENCH GOVERNOR Moores Invite Him to Visit Their City and Then Fire oa His Party. LONDON, May 31.-Advlces from Algeria report that M. Jonnart, the governor gen eral, was attacked by nomads near Flgulg while Journeying from DJennan-Ed-Dur to Beniounlf with a large party. . A brisk fusllade ensued, in which thirteen persons were seriously wounded. M. Jonnart was not hurt. Later dispatches from Benounif shows that the attack on the governor general' might have had the gravest consequences. M. Jonnart. who was recently appointed to the governor generalship, was making a tour of Inspection. Speaking at a banquet at DJennan-Ed-Dar Friday, he announced that a number of guns would be sent to the port to com plete, its armament and concluded: "Actions apeak louder than words and we do not need to dissimulate. Without encroaching on the domain of diplomacy we mean to enforce all of our rights And resolutely to defend the honor of our flag." Governor Jonnart left DJeAnan-Ed-Dan at 7 o'clock Saturday mornlng.i Arriving near Henaga pass, he was met by the ameer of Flgulg, who Invited him to enter the Senaga valley, a series of ravines, bogs and difficult ground. The party advanced to within 200 yards of Flgulg and Inspected the town, all the walls of which were loop holed and manned. The women In the town raised loud cries. After observing the scene for some min uses the party retraced Ita steps along ths road toward the pass, but had proceeded scarcely 300 yards when a shot was fired from Flgulg and this was speedily followed by a fusllade, which a company of French sharpshooters, who were with the gov ernor general's party, returned aa well as the difficult nature of the ground permitted Governor Jonnart. with General O'Connor, Senor Gerente, Deputy Aynard and other of the party reached the pass amid tha hiss of bullets, but thev .,r,ii,. Reinforcements meantime were sent from ujennan-Ed-Dar. All the wounded belonged to the escort. The ameer of Flgulg expressed Indignation at the attack and nrnmluil tn - recurrence of it. but It la doubtful whether he has the means to enforce order. It Is reported that the attacking party num bered 600 and that It returned to Flgulg with hevy losses, several Moors having been killed by the bayonet. Troops will be sent to encamp In the Zenaga pass to endeavor to capture the caravan raiders, and an ultimatum has been sent threaten ing to bombard Henaga and Figulg unless the Moorish raids upon caravans in Fremh territory ceas. There is no doubt that the Incident will decide the French government to police the border. ( EXILE FOR THE BULGARIANS Turk Hope Thereby to Restore Order In Albanian Provinces. LONDON. June 1.

Ail kinds have suffered, but the goo:l handy weights have been In the bent uemahU. while the heavy .cattle have been neglected. The commoner grades of cattie sell largely from $4 00 to 14.36, fair to good from $4.40 to M W and good to choice trom it.' to $6.00. The cow market has also been moving up and down at a rapid rate and tor the v.ek prices show a net loss of loaJ5c. The medium grades, such as have been telling from 3.7; to JI.OO, have suffered about the worst, but sti:i ail kinds are lower ex cept canners, which have sold readily all the week at steady prices. The commoner grades of cows se.ll largely from $2.00 to 3.wl: fair to good from $3.25 to $3.75 and good to choice from $3.75 to $4.25. Bull are also a little lower for the week In sympsthy with the decline on steers and cows. The bulk of them sell from $3.00 to $3.75, with choice grades sell ing from $3.75 to $400. Veal calves have shown very little change. There have been very few stockers and feeders on sale this week, so that prices have held steady on desirable grade in spite of the fact that the demand has not been very heavy. Thin cattle in particular have been scarce and choice grades could be quoted strong, but the warmed up corn feds have been rather neglected and are no more than steady. Common grades are selling largely from $3.26 to $3.75; fair to good from $3.75 to $4.25 and choice from $4.25 to $4.50. BEEF 8TEERB. No. At. Tt. No. At.

' The market opened a big 10c- higher and ruled strong and active throughout the day. There were no hogs of very good quality on sale, but all clasaes sold readily at fast as they arrived. Light and common loads sold largely from $5.76 to $5.77Vi- Good heavy hogs went mostly around $S.MKii6.82H. and one little bunoh averaging 330 pounds brought $5.95. Every thing was sold and Weighed up by U o clocK. For the week receipts of hogs have been very liberal, as there is an Increase aa compared with last week amounting to about 2fi.000 head, and as compared with the same week of last year the Increase amounts to about 11,000 head. For the month of Msy there la an increase over last May amounting to about 17.U00 head. For the year to dale the decrease In hogs amounts to only about 102,000 head. The tendency of prices has been de cidedly downward all this month, and 4n tact the break has been the most dis astrous of any that has been axperienced in a long time.

For th week re-.eipts have been about normal for this time of the year. There Is a decrease of about 1.500 head as compared with last week, but an Increase of about 1.000 head as compared with the same week of last fear. For the month of May there Is sn ncrease as compared with the same month of last year aniounirng to 13.U00 head. For the year to data the Increase amounts to us er 156.000 head. The uuallty of sheep received here this week has been very Inferior, snd as a result it is difficult to tell much about what choice grades would bring. From the action of buyers and from the tendency of prices at other points. It Is safe to aunta ewe, wethers and yearlings of all kindk fully a quarter lower. Common lambs are also that much lower, but strictly tholo lamb have held steady. A high as $6 so was paid this week for choice clipped lambs. There is very little demand for feeders at this time of the yesr. and about all that Is being offered In that line Is the culls taken nut of the fed stuff, and they sell nt very uneven prices.

Omaha Branch 110-111 Board of Trad Bolldlng. CHICAGO, Muy 31. Possible restrictions to the grain movement caused by labor troubles In different section of the country have had the efect of curtailing the gen eral Interest In the speculative markets and have given rise to a waiting disposition among the trade, as there are different opinions both as to the actual results of u long drawn out strike and as to whether the troubles are not liable to be settled without a long fight. The weather has been an Important factor and where the rains have not been too excessive crops all show a marked Improvement. Big stretches of territory, however, have been so severely drenched that replanilng Is necessary. The speculative feature has been the culmina tion of the May operations which went out without hurting any one, and result so fjr as the wheat Is concerned, In leaving the supplies of choice No. 1 northern In the hands of thotie Interested In the May manipulation. Toward the end of the week there has been a noticeable Increase In tha afount of corn moving towards terminal points and about next week the increased movement should be well under way. We do not feel disposed to change our advice to our clients In any particular. We still think well of a purchase of July wheut agalnttt a sale of September and believe that September sold outright above 7oc will prove a profitable operation. Corn we think cneap in an positions, dui now that It Is up around best figures, we would be conservative In making our pur chase and on any sharp bulges secure part of the profits, as we do not look for a runaway market either way, and oats under 34c for July or under 31c for the September we believe good Investment pur chases.

PanI College. , A dozen youth, student of Hamllne col lege, St. Paul, recently engaged In a close range struggle with the co-eds of the In stitution, clad in nightgowns, and were compelled to retreat after they had been literally smothered in girls and pushed and pulled about in a most heartless manner by their fair opponents. With the girls wearing only the scantiest of apparel, and the boys decked out in Indian and tramp costumes, the struggle was a decidedly in teresting one. It all arose over a nightgown banquet The co-eds had been planning for weeks to enjoy themselves In a novel manner, and elaborate preparations had been made. - Th dlningroom of Ladles' hall had been se lected as the scene of the affair, and tables had been surreptitiously prepared. The greatest secrecy regarding the affair had been maintained, but In some unaccounabl wny It became known about the Institution. Shortly before midnight the girls. In the scanty costume which had been agreed on, gathered In the lower hallway of Ladles' hall, and when all were present marched si'.ently and In a body to the dlningroom. A sight really shocking to the hungry cc-eds met their eyes. A dozen young In dians and tramps were hurrying about the tables and helping themselves to the deli cacies. Though outnumbered three to one, the marauders felt the strength of their position and boldly continued their depre dations. Many of the more timid of the girls tried to withdraw hastily, to hide the scantiness of their attire, but their leaders were more aggressive, and, after a brief but exciting conference at the door, or dered their followers to charge the bold Invader. And they charged. With a shout that twoke the enthusinsm of the most back ward the girls set upon the thieves and the fun and fighting began. The Indians and tramps, seeing the futility of attempting to escape, and realizing the Interesting side of the situation, hastily stowed away what loot they had taken, and united in resisting their fair opponents. But their efforts were of no avail. The fury of the attack by the female brigade was Irresistible and each boy found him self surrounded by a large and aggressive crowd of angry girls. The invader were struck and Jerked and pushed and pulled about th table, and then thrown on their backs by the co-eds, who piled on top of them and held them powerless. Tha girls showed no mercy, and their enemies asked none. One by one the boys were forced to disgorge their plunder, and one by one they were driven through th window by which they had entered. In the meantime the tumult had awakened the preceptress, who hurried to the dining room to discover the cause. When she ar rived she found a situation that wa startling, to say the least. .Almost every girl student residing at the hall was there. Flushed with victory and content with the signal defeat they had administered to the boys, they declared themselves ready to accept any punishment If allowed to pro- ceed with the banquet. The preceptress was lenient, however, and told the girls that they wer the aggrieved parties. In order to give the nightgown party a semblance of legality, she per mitted the festivities to proceed. Foreign Financial. LONDON, May 31. The Epsom races, the approach of the holidays and the settle ment combined to reduce the week's busi ness on the Stock exchange. The leading feature of the week haa been the weakness In the American market, where the fall In securities attained serious dimensions. The sharp decline In copper stocks and forced ale of Rio Tlntos also assisted to bring a cloud over the market. It Is the general opinion, however, that no terluus trouble need be anticipated, and there are already signs of brokers coming Into the market, both here and on the continent, attracted by low prices. There were no Important movement In the other markets. The stagnation In South American mines, pend ing the solution of the labor problem, still Influences adversely all the markets. Manchester Textiles. MANCHESTER, May 31. Buyers and sellers during the present week have re mained indifferent.
