PLANS FOR WINTER WORK AT MINE
AaacoaA Is" Preparing- to Blak Mi

Iadlcatloas.
la
DEADWOOD, 8. D., Dec. .-(Speclal.)
It has practically been decided by the
management of the Lucky Strike Mining
company, located in the southern part of
Lawrence county, to begin work on its
200-ton mill early next year. In the mean
time the work of development will con
tinue and the mine put In such shape that
Its ore bodies will be easily accessible
and readily worked. Preparations for the
winter's work at the mine have already
been made and things are so arranged that
It will be carried on to the best advantage
and with comfort to the working force.
Boarding and bunk houses, blacksmith and
machine shops have been built and the air
compressor and hoisting plant in opera
tion. Heretofore all the drills in the mtns
have been operated by steam power, but
owing to the great distance the steam had
to be piped much of Its energy was wanted,
so air has been substituted and la giving
the beat of satisfaction. The shaft Is now
225 feet deep, and fhe easterly drift from
tha 809-foot level Is now In over 100 feet.
It is the Intention to continue this drift
for a short distance further, when It will
cut a large, free milling gold ledge ex
posed on the surface, and then work will
be resumed on the westerly drift, which j
wsa started some time ago.
In the same neighborhood the Anaconda
company has a force of miners at work
nd Is preparing to sink the main work
ing shaft to a greater depth. This Is one
of the strong development companies on
Elk creek, and its operations have been
confined to ths development of a H-foot
ledge of free milling ore carrying splen
did commercial values.
Bis; Four n Bis; Producer.
Favorable ndlcatlona are met with In the
drift which Is being run by the Big Four
company from the bottom of Its deep
working shaft. This property, which la
located In Deadwood gulch. In ths Sylvan-
It e district of the northern Hills, has been
a good producer of rich cold ore during
the past few years,, and is one of the bent
developed properties in the neighborhood.
Considerable ore has been shipped from t
to sastchn treatment plants, and the re
turns from these shipments have always
given a good profit. This district of Dead
wood gulch contains a number of mines
from which some very rich sylvanlte ore
has been shipped and at the present time
there Is a great deal of work going on
there and the outlook 'r future develop
ment of rich ground i good. Prominent
among the mines of this section Is ths
Pennsylvania, the first property In the
Black Hills' from which sylvanlte In large
quantities had been shipped. Some of Its
ore Is very rich, and the extensive devel
opment work which has been put on the
mine, the machinery and buildings neces
sary to Its operation have all been paid
for out of the proceeds of ore shipments
made In the course of development.
Dakota's Shaft Goes Down.
It will require at least 130 feet more of
sinking before the. double compartment
shaft which the Dakota company Is sending
down will reach' the quartzlte, It being now
ZM feet deep and going down at the rate
of two feet a day. Shortly after start
ing the shaft a shoot of ore was
struck, and for fifty-two feet the shaft
continued through It. This ore sheet,
which Is lying on top of the shales, is of
unknown length and width, but it will aver
age, where prospected, 14.50 a ton, and Is
a good cyanldlng proposition. There is
some talk of moving the company's plant
from Deadwood to the mines, or else to
build another at the property, and so avoid
the railroad haul of eight or ten mllea,
This will be done if a water supply can
be obtained, and it is believed that one
will be when the deep shaft which the
company Is sinking reaches the quartslte.
At the company's mill In Deadwood 126
tons of ore a day Is being treated and
semi-monthly cleanings of about 18,000 are
being made with regularity. A few days
ago a large transfer of bonds of the com
pany was made, whereby the management
and control of the property has been cen
tered In a few hands, Tony Lucey, former
superintendent of the company, transfer
ring his holdings to Judge Allison and
Thomas J. Steele of Sioux Ctty.
Another ore shoot has been encountered
In the drift which the Minnesota Mines
eomDanv Is drivlnr alonar the nnri.u-
its property In Garden City district. It is
said that the shoot Is a large one and 1
that it carries high values In gold. Since
active development work was undertaken
on this property It has developed wonder
fully, and now haa a most excellent show
ing Of ore. This work will be continued
during the winter months, and should de
velopments warrant, a treatment plant
will be built on the ground.
Pluma Prepares to Resume. I
It . Is now said that active operations
will shortly be resumed at the Pluma prop
erty near Lead. Some time ago It was
given out that the company had -made ar
rangements to begin work on a large scale
on ths first of the year, and from present
indications It now looks as though this
promise will be carried out. In the Pluma
property there has been uncovered a num
ber of large free-milling gold veins, and
all of them have received extensive de
velopments, while the company has In
course of alteration ' and improvement a
sixty-stamp mill, to which will be added
a cyanide retreatment plant.
John .Fasso'.d and associates have been
doing a great deal of work on their prop
erty at the foot of Cuater peak In Rasp
berry gulch and nave opened up some
promising 9r shoots. They have during
the last four months done a great deal of
tunnel work, besides sinking a few shal
low shafts to prospect ore bodies showing
on tha surface. The ore which they en
countered Is sllicious and a good cyanla
Ing proposition, while the shoots appear
to be strong and carry good values. It is
said that negotiations have been pending
for some time for the purchase of this
property by one of the big companies ope
rating in the Ruby Basin and Bald moun
tain district. H. H. Kelmer. who own
ground In the aame neighborhood, has also
done a great deal of development work on
his property and has struck soms very
good ore. He still has a force of men
working on the ground and will continue
operations during, ths winter months. The
Custer Peak Mining company, which re
cently Installed some expensive hoisting
and compressor machinery, la doing a
great deal ot work and recently made a
new strlks of gold bearing ore In a portion
of Its ground heretofore unprospected.
This company owns a larga acreage ot
ground In the district and for aeveral years
has been developing it. It haa a good
ahowing of ore of fair grade, and. it Is one
of the possibilities that a mill will be built
upon It soms tlms during the coming yesr.
Several Omaha parties are Interested In
this ground and the company appears to
have all the money that It needs to carry
on its work of Improvement.
All Dimcultles Are' Removed.
It Is rumored that work will be started
en both tha Fhoenln, aad Jupltor com
panies' ground, located In Blacktall gulch. 1
Last year grading for a mill was begun
on the Phoenia ground, but operations
were suspended It Is said, however, that
the difficulties la the way ot a completion
of the plant have been removed and that
work on It will begin In th spring. Ths
Jupiter has on it a good 125-ton cyanide
plant and stamp mill and haa made several
successful rune, but owing to Internal com
plications the mine and milling plant was
shut down. Matters have been satisfac
torily adjusted, it la said, and both mine
and mill will be again started shortly
after the flrat of the year. It Is a spltn
dld property, well developed and has a
world of 15 ore In sight and blocked out
for mining.
Work has been temporarily suspended
by the terry Peak Mining company, or
until such time as adequate plumbing fa
cilities ean be placed in the mine. The ma
chinery has been ordered and delivery on
the ground win be made this week. After
the workings have been cleared of water,
which la now coming In In great volume
on the lower levels, mining operations will
be resumed.
In the Gimlet creek district, north of
Rochford, there are at least seventy-five
people at present doing assessment work
on their properties, among them being
Colonel John . H. Skinner of Lead, who
owns a large acreage of ground there, on
which he has opened up a number of
promising veins of ore; Charles Lundblan,
who has a force of five or six men doing
representation work on promising ground;
O. A. Egbert, who also owns considerable
property In the district and who is work
ing a large force of men. Many others
have fine prospects in the district, and
everyone owning ground there haa been
greatly encouraged by ths showing made
on some of the properties being worked.
Tunnel Is Nearly Completed.
Work haa been going on for several
months on the Monteiuma group of claims
near Rochford. and the long tunnel which
waa started to tap the vein at the 800-foot
level Is rapidly nesting Its destination.
The showing near the surface Is excellent
and the vein on which work Is being done
aeems to Improve In the values which It
carries with every day's work. On the
property Is a small griffin mill, which has
been In successful operation for some time,
and It Is tha Intention of the company to
put In another, which will raise the amount
of ore treated to seventy-five tons a day.
This company is well provided with ma
chinery and Is doing all It can to make ita
property one of the factors In the gold
output from the southern Hills. Develop
ment on the Golden West and Black Eagle
properties continue with good results and
the verticals In which work Is being done
continue to hold the excellent values which
first attracted attention of capital to the
ground. It Is reported that there has been
a reorganisation of the Columbia Gold Min
ing company, operating In the district, and
that the management of affairs will here
after be directed by a syndicate of Sioux
Falls capitalists, who will start work nt
the mine again early In the spring. This
company la well equipped with mining ma
chinery, having a splendid steam hoist on
the ground, an air compressor plant, power
drill and all the other accessories to mining.
It Is said that the Black Hills Electric
Power and Mining company, which owns
1,280 acres of land along Rapid river, will
early in the spring begin operations upon
its ground. This company proposes to use
the power of , Rapid river with which to
generate electricity, and distribute power
to adjacent mining camps, besides con
: ducting mining operations.

Stepdaughter.
CLEVELAND, Dec. 25.-Sheriff Barry

carrying with him the papers for the arrest
of Dr. Leroy S. Chadwlck, who Is expected
to land a New Tork on the steamship
Pretoria some time Wednesday morning.
This afternoon Mrs. Chadwlck showed un
usual nervousness. She Anally sent for the
sheriff with the statement that she wanted
to talk over the trip to New York and the
Impending arrest of her husband.
The sheriff spent almost an hour with the
woman In her cell, during which time she
wept convulsively. "I know you will treat
my husband as kindly as possible, but
please remember that ne Is Innocent of nnj
wrongdoing," said Mrs. Chadwlck, ns the
sheriff entered her Jail quarters.
During the hour that the sheriff was
talking with her Mrs. Chadwlck repeat
edly asked him to be kind to Dr. Chad
wlck. To the sheriff the woman deplored
the Indictment against her husband and
said It was all an awful mistake. "This
Is the worst thing that has happened dur- j
lng all the trouble of the lust few weeks,"
said Mrs. Chadwlck. "I never thought my
husband would be drag-Red Into this at
fair, It Is so unjust, for If ever an honest
man lived It Is my husband."
Anxious About atepdauvhter.
Mrs. Chadwlck asked the sheriff to tell
her In detail of all his plans. Several
times she referred to the doctor's daughter
by a former wife, who Is returning with
Dr. Chadwlck to this country. The woman
also especially asked that the sheriff do
everything possible to make the situation
as easy as possible for the young girl.
"Remember all I have told you," called
Out Mrs. Chadwlck as Sheriff Barry was
leaving the Jail. Thia Is terrible, but there
Is one satisfaction; I will see my husband
soon."
Before leaving Sheriff Barry telcgrnphed
to Albany 'asking that the papers In the
case be made out In advance so as to In
sure no delay. According to his plans to
night the sheriff expected to call upen
Governor Odell at the state house In Al
bany the first thing Monday morning to
turn over the requisition papers from
Governor Herrlck, receiving extradition pa
pers from Governor Odell In return. From
Albany he expected to go Immediately to
New York, arriving there In the afternoon.
The sheriff will stop at the Hoffman house.
It has been arranged for relatives of MUs
Mary Chadwlck to meet her ut the hotel.
Whether she will remain In New York or
come on to Cleveland with her father Is
not yet settled. It Lb thought that she
will stay In New York with relatives and
friends for a few days at least.
"I suppose It will be a severe blow to
Dr. Chadwlck to be met with papers Tor
his arrest upon his arrival In this coun
try," said the sheriff tonight. I Intend
to do everything possible to ease the situa
tion as much ns the circumstances will per
mit for both Dr. Chadwlck and his daugh
ter.' Plans of the Sheriff.
The exact course that the sheriff will
follow Is to be detrmlned Tuesduy morn
ing"' after 'a conference with New York
officials. The sheriff expects to go out
to meet the Pretoria on either a govern
ment lighter of a police patrol boat. He
plans to catch the big steamer outside of
Sandy Hook and to notify Dr. Chadwlck
of his arrest before the landing is made at
quarantine.
"If Dr. Chadwlck Is not a sick man I
shall return with him on the first train I
can make out of New York Wednesday,
reaching Cleveland, If possible, Wednes
day night or Thursday morning." said the
sheriff. "If he Is a sick man my plana
may necessarily have to be changed. At
any rate I shall remain In New York long
enough to be certain of the proper care
of Miss Chadwlck."
Sheriff Barry left Cleveland at 6 o'clock
tonight over the Lake Shore railroad. He
is due at Albany at 6:20 Monday morning.

flaiar Manufacturers to Protest.
Before the senate rens'emblea It Is prob
able that Senator Foraker will receive
many vigorous protests from the tobacco
Interests of Ohio against his pressing the
bill to reduce the tariff on Philippine to
bacco to 25 per cent of the Dlngley into,
which he has announced he will present
as an amendment to any Philippine bill
to which It Is germane. Not only Is Ohio
one of the largest producers of clKar to
baccos of the Zlmmer Spanish, Oebhard
Seed and Little Dutch varieties, but it Is
also the third largest cigar producing
state, ranking immediately after Pennsyl
vania and New York. Ohio has 1,W) cigar
factories which produced during the ltst
fiscal year 700,000,000 cigars, or one-tenth
of the entire product of the United States.
Most of these cigars were made from to
bacco produced In Ohio or adjoining states.
The Cigar Manufacturers Association of
America has Issued a call to the cigar
manufacturers of Ohio pointing out that
the 19,000,000 pounda of tobacco exported
from the Philippine islands last yenr
brought an average price of only 48.4 cents
per pound, whereas the average price of
domeatlo tobacco in this country Is in the
neighlxjrhood of 20 cents per pound. At 4V4
cents per pound, plus the proposed 25 per
cent duty, amounting to Mi cents per
pound, the Philippine tobacco would cost
in this country only 134 cents per pound
In competition with the domestic tobacco
averaging 20 cents per pound. It Is also
pointed out that tlTe average cost of cigars
In Manila of fancy shapes nnd grades runs
from 10 to $28 per 1,000, and under the pro
posed reduction a medium-sized cigar
weighing twelve pounds per 1.000 of the
cheaper quality could be laid down at the
port of San Francisco, with the duty and
Internal revenue taxes paid, at a cost of
about 117.(0 per 1,000, and the high grades
could be landed at from 14 to 10 above this
price.
An effort will be made to have both the
cigar manufacturers and the tobacco grow
ers of Ohio represent to Senator Foraker
that he la seriously threatening their in
terests in pressing the Philippine propo
sition and it Is believed that the tobacco
Interests of Ohio will be a unit In this
movement. The cigar manufacturers of
that state are nearly all connected di
rectly or Indirectly with the Cigar Manu
facturers Association of America, and sub
stantially all the leaf tobacco grown In
Ohio Is handled by the members of the
National Cigar Leaf Tobacco association,
which la strongly opposing the reduction In
the Philippine duties on tobacco.
