DEADWOOD. 8. D.. Jan. 15 -8peclal.)
Contrary to expectations, viry little claim
Jumping- or relocating of (round was In
dulged in on th flnrt of the new year,
owing, no doubt, to the fact that work
necessary to hold the (round had been
don eand that hardly any remained un
represented when January 1 came around.
Mining ground In the productive districts
of the Black Hills la now too valuable to
neglect, and owners are looking after it
more closely. Since the first of the year
a great deal of work has been started,
many companies Increasing the forces of
men employed and developing their prop
erties wtlh the view of building treat
ment plants In the spring. Desplt adverse
conditions which prevailed during the
greater part of last spring, the gold pro
duction of the Black Hills for 1(M will
exceed that of the year previous by at
least tl.000,000.
Work In the shaft of the Capital City
Mining company Is progressing finely and
has passed through some very good ore
in the sixty feet It has been sunk. Drift
ing has been started from the bottom of
the shaft along the course of the vein,
which at that depth Is five feet wide;
everything met with In the drift Is assayed
and shows an average value of about 1
a ton, .although some very rich ore Is oc
casionally met with. After running the
present drift a short distance further it Is
the Intention of the company to continue
sinking, and will send Its shaft down sev
eral hundred feet deeper. The vein is a
fissure in the porphry and resembles the
ore found In the Big Four, Pennsylvania,
Hidden Treasure and adjoining properties.
This property Is located on the upper part
of Dead wood gulch and embraces about
seventy acres, through which runs the nar-'
row guage system of the Northwestern
Railroad company.
Anaconda Vforki Mut and Day.
Night and day shifts are working on the
developments recently begun by the Ana
conda company on Its ground on the divide
north of Elk creek. Blnce work was re
sumed last month the shaft has been
cleaned out, retimbered and run for the
distance of several sets of timbers. It Is
said that the ore In the bottom of the
shaft Is carrying Its values more In the
form of Iron pyrlteji than formerly, and
that It shows a slight Increase In values.
This property Is In a splendid location and
the veins upon which work has formerly
been prosecuted are strong ones, carrying
splendid free gold values at tho surface.
The Superior Chemical Reduction com
pany has recently been organized lit this
city by Dr, J. A. Ogden and others for the
purpose of completing the testing plant
started Inst year In the First ward of
Deadwood by Dr. Ogden, R. E. Glass and
others. It la asserted that the new Inven
tion, which his been patented by Dr.
Ogdon, will treat any character of ore,
recovering not only all the values In gold
and silver contained In the rock, but also
almont all of the other values held hy
the ore treated under It. The building for
the plant la practically completed, and it
will not ' take long to get It in running
order, as most of the machinery Is already
In i'lace. .

In addition "to the heavy tonnage of ore
treated by the Horseshoe Mining) company
In Its plai t at Terry, largo shipments are
being made to outside smelters. In the
Mark Twain, Hardscrubblo and Ben Hur
mines of this company the ore bodies are
looking exceedingly well, and are carrying
better, it anything, values than heretofore,
while thn shoots being developed in the
old Horseshoe mine are getting better with
every day's work. This company Is rapidly
overcoming the setbuck given It by bad
management a few years ago and the out
look iiow Is that Its sp.ondtd properties
ll goon have all of the Indebtedness lifted
from it, as Its gold production has been
steadily Increasing for the last Ave or six
months.
BeslcVs the development work which Is
bung carried on by the Deadwood-Standara
company on Its property In the Ragged
Top district, a systematic system of pros
pecting has been inaugurated which will
aid to a great extent In the opening of the
or bodies. Superlntendnt Hanschka Is' au
thority for the statement that the mill of
the company In Johnson gulch, which has
been Idle for the last six or seven months,
will shortly be started up again. 'While
th mill a 13-ton plant was In operation
It was run on some very good cyanlding
ores, and the company paid dividends. Most
of the stock Is held by Black Hills people,
who believe that the Deadwood-Standard Is
one of the best propositions In the northern
IllUs, and when Its extensive ore bodies
have been properly opened up that It will
again take Ita place among the dividend
payers.
Gilt Edge Maid Mill Succeeds.
r Since t started up a few weeks ago the
mill of the Qtlt-Edge Maid company has
been In constant operation, and has been
glvlnz the best of satisfaction. 'The elec
trio powtr by which Its machinery Is being
run Is an Ideal one for a plant of Ita ca
pacity 125 tons and la proving more eco
nomical than steam. Conditions In the
mine are excellent, und the ore supply la
kept well ahead of the demands of the
mill, while the ore is proving as rich as the
management expected. The first clean-up
of the new mill win be made about the
JDtn of the present month.
Work of excavating for the twenty-stamp
mill, whkh will be erected by the Queen of
th Hills company a short distance south
of Deadwood, Is well underway. Another
depoBlt of cement ore has been encountered
on th property during the week lying be
tween the quiurtilte and the porphyry. It
Is said to .carry fair vales. . .
Goad Or os Klevrntb Hoar.
On th Eleventh Hour property In th
Iron Crtek district a small force of miners
have been doing development work for sev
eral months. This work has been confined
to knowi. ore bodies, with th end that
they may be In rhape to furnish or for

Ret Rich Ore, bat Pomp Hard.
By pumping l.i50 gallons of water a min
ute th Clover Lcf company Is enabled to
conduct mining operations on the lower
levels of Its property. A week or so ago
the company wsa pumping over 1,X) gallons
a minute, using- a big triple expansion
Prescott pump, supplemented by several
smaller ones. The water Is coming In on
the 700-foot level and issues from an orifice
about six Inches In width, but It comes In
with an Immense pressure. Although work
continues In the mine and ore Is being
hoisted the mill Is not running, owing to the
fact that several Important changes are
being msd In the motive power and other
mill machinery. It Is said that soma of the
rlcliest ore that has ever been mined by
the company Is now being taken from the
700-foot level. Work will soon begin sinn
ing the shaft from the 7u0 to the 1.000-foot
level, Vnd should the ore hold Its richness
for that depth, as It has so far, the Clover
Leaf will hav one of the richest mines In
the entire west.
Russ Hawley and associates of Lead are
developing the Addle group of claims near
Brownsville, In the Custer Peak district. In
the tunnel, which Is being driven t a rolni

ledge of good free milling ore has been
struck. Before ncounterlng this ledge sev
eral smaller onu were cut by the tunnl.
Besides this work there Is an eighty-foot
shaft on the ground, from the bottom of
which a drift of 150 feet has been run, the
face of which Is In a splendid body of ore.
Charles Lunblan Is doing development
work of th Sala group of flvo claims on
Box Elder creek and Is opening up a very
nice looking body of ore. Work on the
Custer Peak properties has been tem
porarily suspended owing to an Increased
flow of water met with In the lower work
ings of lhat property. Additional pump
ing machinery will be put In, however, ana
then work will be resumed with a larger
force of men. The Custer Peak company Is
the owner of a large extent of territory
along Box Elder and In that vicinity, nnd
for several years has been doing a great
deal of work. Its property Is well de
veloped and shows many fine ore bodies.
On Olmlet creek J. H. O'Brien and a num

WHY AMERICANS ARE IMPOLITE
No Time Nor Strength to Ue Other
wise Everything Taken
for Granted.
A contributor to the columns of the Lon
don Spectator recently asked himself this
unadorned and almost naked question: "An
Americans th most Impolite people on the
face of the earth?" He replied by assert
ing positively and cheerfully that with the
exception of certain Patagonlans, who
travel with a brick in one hand and a
spear In the other, and a few Abyssinian
tribes, which have enjoyed only elementary
opportunities for culture, Americans are the
most Impolite people whom he has en
countered. He has made a special study
of the matter.
"But," thlsv authority hastens to add,
"there are mitigating circumstances."
Americans, he says, are nothing If not In
tensely practical, and they have discovered
that politeness does not pay. Their ma
terial progress and prosperity, as compared
with conditions obtaining In Spain, France
and older countries, In . which there has
long been due observance of formal and
stately i.ourtesy and elaborate ceremonial,
have convinced them that from the finan
cial stsndpolnt there is little or nothing
In etiquette. This Is reassuring, but It does
not tell th whole story; It forces a false
assumption. Americans can well afford to
be polite. It is true that their characteris
tic modesty forbids their dwelling with em
phasis upon their accumulations. Once In
four years, perhaps, the party In power
may refer, for political reasons, to "our
unbounded resources" and "our unlimited
wealth," but for the most part we refuse
to be drawn out on this subject Never
theless, Americans are rich enough to be
polite If they choose. They have the
means which would enable them to corner
th politeness of all th civilized nations,
were they so disposed.
The truth Is that the Inhabitants of the
United States have no occasion to be po
lite. They take everything for granted. A
mistress does not greet her cook effusively
when she enters the kitchen In the morn
ing. She expects that the cook will be in
th kitchen. And by the same token, a
man, l.appenlng upon a friend or relative
returned from a foreign pilgrimage, does
not fall on the neck of that friend or
relative and wring his hands. He nods and
passes on. We expect that our friends and
relatives will wander afar. "Back from a
six-months' stay In EuropeT . Pleasant
trip, I hope. May I trouble you for a
light?" But let the unexpected occur. Let
a spirit from the other and better world
make Its apeparance. Americans would not
be Jacking In warmth of salutation. More
over, ther Is no time for Spanish or
French politeness on this aid of the water.
We cannot bow, scrape, retreat a step, ad
vance, caress the heart, and raise finger
tips to Ups at breakfast. W must liurry

his aerlptnral Versa oa Love.
A Paris Sunday school teacher explained
to her pupils that without lov the world
would be a poor pluce for children and for
all helpless snd Infirm persons.
"Next Sunday," she said. "I want each of
you to come prepared to recite a scriptural
verse about love."
The next Sunday the children had all pre
pared their verses. One had, "Love your
enemies"; another, "Little children, lov
one another," and so on.
Finally a small boy with red hair arose.
He began In a loud, shrill voice: . "Song ot
Solomon, second chapter, fifth verse." Ana

ble Expected Monday.
OMAHA. Jan. It. 1903.
The wheat market continues nervous, but
with a strong undertone. A small amount
of buying or selling sends It up or down
quite sharplv. The opening today In the
May was 91.16H, that b.lng 4c over the
close Friday The market at one time
strengthened up to 11.174 anJ for low point
went to 11.16. At the csc. however, It
returned to $1 16V Tn July opened at
934c, slackened to S4c snd closed at 9c.
The Minneapolis stocks of wheat for
January 13 were l.auo.ono bushels grater
than for the same day a year ago. Three
weeks prior tr this the stocks were 4.000.000
more than they were last year at that time.
The storks lust year did not reach the
maximum In the northwest as quickly as
they huve done this year and there has
been n rapid deer, are lately. For the
week Minneapolis declined 650,000 bushels.
Henry Little of Minneapolis haa been put
ting up some very strung talk In Chicago
on the great flour demand. He says he
ha sold ahead already 7o0,0uo barrels,
amounting to 3.500,'nio bushels of wheat.
This In the face of rumors from other
sources of poor demand. His appearance
In Chicago has caused much gossip there
and It Is said his firm has been selling a
great deal of wheat In the northwest for
two weeks. The market there Is thought
to show the leading holdings have been
lurgtly reduced. A sensation has been
caused by the rumor Roumanian wheat,
which whs supposed to be short, Is on
sain In Baltimore, duty paid, at 11.
i'he reduction of 3 cents In the gulf rote
on corn is utld to have been put In for
Hall of Kansas City to ship l.Ouu.oOO bush
el This is now nearly all cleaned up.
Ocean rates are off 1 per cent, the tariff
from New York to Liverpool t'elng 4 cents.
The corn market ce'-Mnues but moderately
active, but wit), a firm tone. Small re
ceipts continue to he the active factor ac
countable for the strength. A little better
Inquiry reported for export demand, but It
Is purely retail business ns -et. There Is
some Indication of uneaamesn among the
short Interest, caused by small receipts.
The market will need an Improved cash
situation to bring about and maintain bet
ter prices. Granting that receipts are small,
they seem to be enough to more than sup
ply all demands.
In oats a slightly firmer tone In this mar
ket Is attributed to t hetter cash demand
and movement of stocks out of public
houses. This reflects some Improvement
In consumptive demand. Trde Is looking
for another large decrease tn the visible on
Monday. There seems n- '-mediate pros
pect for a sustained Imrovement. The vis
ible Is large, available stocks plentiful and
demand, while improving, must show
greater strides In that direction to main
tain higher prices.

reduced primary receipts of wheat today
and Imparted strength to the market. Final

tlcaiiy unchanged.
Notwithstanding a slight decline at Liv

strong, with Mnv up ViiWc to HfiSc nt
I1.16SH1.16V Shorts and commission
houses were active bidders, but offerings
for a time were comparatively light. The
result whs a further advance In May to

I partly to an advance In outride markets
yesterday after the exchange here had
I closed. Among other Influences that helped
I bring out the Improved demand were pre-
dictions of a decrease, in world's ehli.ments
The prevailing cold weather throughout the
I'nlted States, however, was a large factor.
It being expected that the extreme cold
would mrnih an additional check to the
movement of wheat. The statistics of the
day proved that this was not wl.hout foun
dation, primary receipts being 4;9.v bu..
compared with 720. 4H bu. a year ngo. Late
in the day a sharp break occurred on falily
liberal profit taking by several inftuentl il
houses. May quickly sold off to tl l6'(i

buyers and there was another rally in
prices. The market was quite firm at the
close. May at H.1!- Clearances of wheat

light country acceptances, however, more
than offset tlie.se beaiioh factors and the

CATTLE There were not enough cattle
On sale this morning to make a test of the
mnrket. For the week receipts how an
Increase over last week of about 8,000 head,
but as compared with the same week of
last year, there Is a decrease of about 4,0oo
head. This light run for the time of year
is undoubtedly accounted for in n, laige
measure to the extreme coltl weather and
j snow storm, which visited this section of
I the country this week.
j About the usual proportion ' of cornfed
steers wns Included In the receipts this
Week, but the quality of the offerings could
not be classed bettet; than fair? afid In fact
finished rattle were nlmost entirely lacking,
very few selling higher than $5. The- more
desirable grades could be quoted Just nbout
steady for the week, with the demand In
good shape The common to fulri rattle,
however, have been more or leas neglected
and closing prices on such kinds are a little
; lower than those In effect a week ago. Good
I to choice steers may be eiuoted from 15.00 to
t5.50; fair to good. 14.25 to 14.75, and the
commoner kinds from 14.15 down.
Thn cow mnrket has also held up In good
1 shnne on the better grades and cows and
I heifers of that description can safely be
I quoted fully steady for the week. The com
i mon to medium kinds, however, have sold
j at rather uneven prices, as the demand on
I most days has been rather Indifferent. The
' market on such cattle Is probably 105il5c
lower than It wns a Week ago. Oood to
choice cows and heifers are quotable from
13 Oft to 13.75; fair to good. 92.40 to 12.90, and
J common to fair from 11 SO to 12.2J.
I Pulls are selling ln Just about the same
riofchefl they d'd a week ngo. Oood to
choice grades sell from 93 00 to 93 50 and
common to fair from 1? 00 to 12.75. Veal
ca'ves are selling up to 96 50.
The demand for good heavy feeders has
been about eoual to thn supnly this week
nnd prices are very little. If any. lower
than they were a week ago. There have
been oo many light cattle, however, and
rmrflre'rlw too many common kinds, nnd
tliev are slow and fully 10W0o lower. The
demand for suoh kinds seems to he very
limited. Oood to choice cMle sell from
93 75 to 14.15. fair to good 13 25 to 13 7S nnd
common kinds from 13.25 down. Representa

!4.wij4.674. with some very lightweights
down to 4.40. The choice heavy nogs sold
largely at 14.65 and as high as K70 was paid
for prime heavy hogs, or the same as yes
terday s best price. Trading was not par
ticularly brisk, but still the bulk of the
eany arrivals was disposed of ln good
season, though the slow arrival ot trains
delayed the close until a lute hour.

eral, there being un Increase over lust week
of about ll.Ouo head, und as compared with
the same week of last year, there la an in

a lest of values was not made. For the
week receipts show a loss us ceimpared
with last week amounting to about l,uuO
head, and as compared with the same week
of last year there Is a failing eft v( at o.it
16. no head.
The demand for both fst sheep and lambj
ha been ery brisk, nnd partn uhirly h .s
that been true In the case of handy weight
lambs and yearlings. As compared with the
close of laft week, the general market on
sheep can bv quoted t"ii lie hluher, while
lambs have udvanced shout l.v)iJ."c. Kach
day s offerings have changed hands Ju.-t
about as fast as unloaded, showing that
the demand has been In excess of the sup-
t.ik
The feeder situation has changed very
little dur.ng th week. Very few are bein
offered and those thut do come forw.trJ

MANCHESTER, Jan. 15. Tho demand
for cotton cloths last week was hotter,
though actual business has not expanded
materially. Indian and China advices) are
encouraging and offers are more frequent
and buyers ate disposed to arrtngr 'busi
ness to follow current contracts. Price
are nominally steady, but show 'boru'ea
slons occasionally when business ls"'saf
flclent for testing. It Is said that some
merchants who cancelled portions of their
De'cember uncompleted contract later
wished to withdraw, but makers refused.
Y'arn supplies are short, causing some In
convenience to manufacturers. American
product was Irregular with an easier tend
ency, but it is suggested by merchants
that It is still too high compared with
cotton and business is restricted thereby.
