THE OMAHA DAn.T BEE: JIOXDAT, FEBrTAHY 27. 1905. MINING IS THE HACK HILIS Contracts Are Let for Erection of Two Big Ojanide Kills. WILL BOTH BE UP-TO-DATE MILLS Deer Llek Mine, Owned by braskaas, Develop lato a Good Proposition After Much Steady Work. DEADWOOD. 8. D., Feb. 2B.-Specla!.)-Contr&cts for superintending the erection of the 200-ton cyanide plants have been awarded James Hartgerlng of Deadwood. One la to be built on the grounds of the Eleventh Hour company, cloee to Iron creek. nd the other on the ground of the Victoria, on Bpearflsh river, near Its june- lion Wlin Bpearnen inn. - Victoria mill will be begun on April 1. the contract for the machinery, lumber and other supplies having been awarded and delivery will begin of some of It within a few weeks. While the plana of the Elev enth Hour plant have not been prepared, work la being done upon them, and bo soon ii they are finished a contract for the machinery will be awarded. Both of these plants will be first class In every par ticular and will contain all of the latest Improvements In the art of cyanldatton, many of which will be Innovations. When these mills have been completed this sec tion of the slllclous ore belt of the northern Hllla will be pretty well supplied with plants, for besides them will be those of the Bpearflsh, BO to 300 tons dally capacity! the t)eadwood Standard, 125, and the Cleo patra. 100, and will make a total dally ton nage of 750 which can be treated with all of them in operation. It Is said that the Deer Lick company has also made arrange ments for the building of a 125-ton plant, which will be added to the total before the summer has passed. As most of these mills will do a little custom, work it will be a great help In developing the district, as many Individual owners will then be able to work their ground and mill enough ore to keep up work on their claims from the returns. Deer Lick la a Payer. The property of the Deer Lick Mining company, which is controlled by Nebraska people, has been worked steadily for the past four years and has developed Into a good proposition. At the present time the company Is following a strong body of ore In a shaft, and It Is becoming broader and more strongly defined with every foot of depth gained. Some weeks ago the com pany ordered a steam hoist, and It will be taken to the ground Just as soon as the roada will permit and set up nt the shaft. The company will also build a sawmill and begin the Work of ff-ettlntr nut llmlwr anil lumber for Its plant, which It hopes to have In operation before the end of summer. The property of the Deer Lick company lies along Deer and Iron creeks, on the west side of fipearfmh canon, two and a half miles from where the Bpearflsh com pany la working with such success. Active work on the Custer Peak Mining company's ground will be resumed on the 1st of next month, and the shaft will be sunk several hundred feet. Several months ago work on this shaft was abandoned and since that time the company haa been operating on another part of its ground where the new strike was made. This has been opened up to a depth of forty feet, and when work was suspended In this working the vein more than filled the bot tom of the shaft. No attempt has been made to cross-cut thla ore body, but every Indication points to the fact that It is a large one, and as It carries verv good free milling values It la poeslblo that the com pany will continue its development when It gain resumes' operations. On the main working shaft of the company Is a good steam hoist, and in the shaft, at a depth of something over 100 feet, the vein which it Is following down shows good free milling values This property has Interested In It several Omaha people. Work Is Temporarily Sospended. Officers of the Queen of the Hills prep ay arnvea in Deadwood last week for the purpose of paying off the employes, as well as to attend to certain affairs which will permit work to be continued on the ground Work has been suspended on this Property for the past week or two, but the company is In good shape financially and able to carry out the program which haa been arranged for it. Its property consists of about 100 acres of patented and. lying about a mile from the city limits of Deadwood. on which a large amount of money has been expended for development during the past year and a half and on which the company Intends to make a more extensive outlay during the coming summer. It Is considered an ex cellent property and haa been systemat ically opened. It Is also the intention to complete the building of the stamp mill which the company started in to build several months ago and a large quantitv of lumber and timbers were delivered - n the ground for thla purpose last week One of the promising companies of the Elk creek district, the Big Lead, haa begun to sink a shaft on its property. This ground Is located to the north of the Clover Leaf and a number of free milling veins have been opened up by surface work. The ledge on which the shaft U being sunk Is said to be a large one and that Its free milling values are very good. Litigation Delays Development, i At the present time there la not much do ing on the property of the Golden Crest Mining company In the Bare Butte district, as the company Is now engaged In a a?rles of lawsuits In the circuit court for Law rence county, in which It Is suing James Bradburn and associates, former lessees of the property, for damages, claiming that under, their lease the defendants agreed to so timber and work the mine that when the company again took possession of It it would find It In good shape. When Brad burn and associates' lease ran out in im. and when the company again took posses sion of the property it found that the con tract had not been lived up to and that the mine was In bad shape, no attempt hav ing been made to keep It up. The company la suing on several Usues. and In circuit court lost week received Judgment on one of them. It Is said that as soon as t'.iese lawsuits are settled the company will again resume operations in mine and mill. The State School of Mines Is to have a new head. Dr. Slagle. who for a number cf years haa filled that position, going to the State School of Agriculture at Urooklnss. Prof. Tulton; who has filled the chair of chemistry and metallurgy, will aucceed Dr. Slagle as head of the faculty. Prof. Fulton is well equipped for the position, and has not only a local, but a national, reputation In his special field of work. The attend ance at the School of mines this term has been greater than ever before In It. his. tory. and It work In the mining field of the Black Hllla mora extended. Cet Lraae'oa Clinton. John Trua and Patrick Boyles have been granted a leas and an option to purchase the Clinton mining claim by Thomas Thompson of Whltewood, Its owner. The Clinton is situated on the south side of Nevada gulch, adjoining the Buxton, and the lease on It was executed on May 1, IKW. for the period of eighteen months, granting the leasers tho privilege to work the mine, extract the ora ajid to mill It or hip It on a royalty basis. The price named la the option Is 17.000. Messrs. True and Boyles are practical miners, and believe that they have a good thing In the lease and option, for It la known that there Is still a large amount of good ore In the Clinton which haa never been touched. Sinking on the property of the Redfern company, which la Just across the Law rence county line In Pennington county, continues, and the main working shaft has reached a depth of 150 feet. Sinking Is being carried on with a small force, and will be continued to the 30O-foot level, and then crosscuts started. It Is the plan of the company to put In a steam hoisting plant within the next two or three months, a horse whim being at the present time utilised to hoist the material taken from the shaft to the surface. It Is the Inten tion of the company to build s twenty stamp plant ujon Its grounds this sum mer, and work on the plana haa already been started. The company has money In the treasury and will be able to carry on all the improvements that have been planned for the year. There are fourteen claims In the company's group, running to within a short distance of Redfern sta tion, on the main line of the B. & M. rail road. Just thW side of Hill City, and in cludes some of the best known properties In that section of the Hills. These claims are now held under location and annual assessment, but will be patented by the company this year. Three years ago a five stamp mill was built upon this ground for experimental and test purposes, and It was proved that the ore was rich In free gold. The claims are crossed in a northerly and southerly direction by several strong ledges, and In the many openings which have been made upon them free gold can always be j found. CYCLONE TALES ARE GENUINE Weather Boreas Officials Supplied with Evidence of Many Strange Doings. GRAIN AND PRODUCE MARKET Northwestern Wheat Receipts to Be Less in March than Last Year. BULLS LOOK FOR FIFTY-FIVE-CENT CORN Government Report Dae March 10 Will Show Corn Reserve on Farms -Rye Advances aad Stocks aid to Be Very Loir. Officials of the Vnlted States weather bureau have photographic proof of the ac curacy for statements that It Is possible for straws and feathers to be driven deep Into board fences, trees and other tough materials. If the camera is to be relied on, there appears to be warrant for the story that is frequently told as a Joke that In some sections of our country the wlrds are so fierce that they blow the feathers off chickens and other luckless birds. K. B. Calvert, private secretary to Prof. Willis L. Moore, has long been Interested In cyclone phenomena. In following up stories of remarkable- occurrences In the storm centers of the west, he has tun across facts stranger than fiction. When the Incredulous scoffers laugh at his yarns, Mr. Calvert produces authenticated photo graphs to back up his statements. From these records It appears that tinder the Influence of storm fury, straws and feathers have burled the-nslvs for a con siderable distance In the barks f trees and sides of frame buildings; that splinters of wood have penetrated ectlonti cf Heel and that at least one chicken was stripped of the greater part of its reathery covering Mr. Calvert gives the following explana tion of the laws of air presrurj, which ac counts for many of the freaks of cyclones: "The air pressure at sea level In about fif teen pounds to each square Inch. The jres fiure on the Inside of objoets, even tr.e Human body. Is equal to that on the out side, thus preserving a proper equilibrium. Disaster immediately follows tho removal of this pressure. Contrary to the popular belief, the danger attending tornadoes is created from within and not from the outside. During a tornado the win 1 ruthes along at a terrific rate of speed, so that a vacuum la created in iho center cf the storm. "The sudden exhaustion of the air In this fashion relieves the outside pressure from all objects In the path of the disturbance. In the casj of a building the result Is shown by the bursting out of the wails by the force of the unresisted inside pressure. This la the explanation for the presence of so many buildings without wails that are found In the path of every tornado. It la the same way with the chickens. The air is exhausted so quickly from the outside that the Inner pressure blows oil the feathers. . "It is a myBtery to some people why armor piercing shells have points of soft steel. But shells equipped with these soft noses have no difficulty In penetrating the toughest steel that ran be manufactured. The secret of their success lies In the ter rific force with which they are propelled. In the same way straws, feathers and other frail substances are made to pene trate much harder materials. I have a photograph of a splinter of wood that burled Itself In a steel section of the Kada bridge, over the Mississippi river, during the St. Louis cyclone. "The freaks of wind storms were well Illustrated during a severe tornado sev eral years ago up In Wisconsin. Two horses were tied side by side in a stable, situated only a short distance from the house of the owner. The tornado swept the earth clear of everything In Its path. The farmer and his family took to the cyclone cellar at the first sign of danger. The house was ripped from Its foundations and scattered to the winds and the very stable followed suit. One of the horses was lifted up lcdlly Into the air and deposited on all fours In the midst of the farmer and his family In the cellar. The other horse, which was within two feet of Its com panion, was not touched, not a hair of Its body being ruffled. The facts in this Inci dent are well authenticated." MONSTER APPLE DUMPLING Made In the Town of that Nam and Weighed One Hundred and Fourteen Pounds. An aged citizen of North Carolina tells the story of the greatest apple dumpling ever made. His home Is In Halifax county, where, prior to 1840, there was a voting pre cinct known by the odd name of "Dumpling Town." In 1840, when William Henry Har rison was elected president, after a most exciting campaign. Dumpling Town had exactly 111 voters, and every ma.i of them cast his ballot for Harrison. The people of the small but prosperous town of Scotland Neck, In trie county, also showed their appreciation of the unanimous vote of Dumpling Town by a generous and whimsical gilt. Two days and a night were consumed In building a big dumpling, which weighed 114 pounds, one pound for each vote cast at Dumpling Town. This monster of a dumpling was put In a aack, supported by a tripod, and lowered into an Immense Iron kettle. It required two days and a night to cook It properly. Then it waa lifted out and placed in a specially made bowl cut from the trunk of an enormous cypress tree, and round It were placed 114 dumplings of the usual slie. A band of music and fifty wagons were sent to Dumpling Town, and In these wagons were taken to Scotland Neck the 114 true blue Harrison men and their families.- There was great' cheering when they ar rived at Scotland Neck, and the guests' cheered themselves hoarse when they saw the feast prepared for them for besides the dumplings no end of goad things filled many tables in the spacious warehouse, and the feasting and fun lasted the rest of ths day and nearly all night. A barrel of the best moliates waa used as sauce for ths big dumpling nd the hungry people ate It all. Youth's Ompnoi. I nable to Agree on schedule. CHICAGO. Fb. 28.

The northwestern receipts have been gen erally considered a bearish feature of the wheat situation. They have kept up, re gardless of all predictions. The nurtnwesl ern cars today, Inc.uuiug Chicago, are 398, against ii88 last ween and 3.1 last year, brown of Minneapolis explains this by saying tne elevators have ucen moving a block of wheat tnls year which was not moved last year until March. For this reason he predicts smaller receipts in Mhiiii this year than last. He expects the terminal stocks to decrease sharply, lie says tne farmers have been selling more closely this year than previously and by March 1 he predicts the country1 elevator stocks will be only about halt of what they were at that time last year. Tho Minneapolis total wheat stocks are 12.530.- 647 bushels, with a decrease for the week of 370.4! busheis, and for today of UO.0UO Dusneis. The Australian wheat shipments this week have fallen oft. being .,iM(t,uu) bushels, against 2,040,000 hushelH for the preceding week. liroonihall estimated the world's shipments for the week at about 10.80u.0o0 bushels of wheat, all of which went to Eurooe. The orlmary receipts are 644,1.00 bushels, against 676,000 bushels last year, and the shipments are lo2,ooo busli- I els, against 262,000 bushels laat year. The speculative market was dull witn a umiiea trade. The May opened at 1.18ti and dragged down to 41.18, which was VfcC lower than the worst of Friday. Liverpool closed unchanged, Paris oecuned 6 to 16 centimes, Berlin closed with a gain of c and Burl a Pesth went up -ac. The corn market did not do so well today, althougn the corn bulls predict an advance in sixty days to 65 cents. The May corn at high Friday reached 477c nnd opened today at 48c. it advanced to 48VsC, but from there gradually declined anil closed at the low point, 4-4c. Liverpool, on the other hand, closed with an advance of V. The government report March 10 may show whether or not the corn bulls aro right in their position that the corn reserves in rarmera lianas ure noi as large as formerly supposed. Much talk is heard lately about the small reserve. The ease with which the market seems to ad vance Is explained by some commission houses that there are now no hedging sales. In usual years, they say, there are from 40,oOO,OuO to 6o,o00,oo bushels of May sold against corn In cribs. This is not so now, tney profess to believe, and for that reason the market Is buoyant and responds to any, buying pressure. The commission houses are advising their customers to trade in corn because it Is free from mani pulation, while wheat is too much in the hands of one combination. The primary receipts of corn a;e 64.1. COO bushels, against 610,000 bushels, and the shipments 1:76,000 bushels, against 304,000 bushels. The corn clearances are.266.0C0 bushels. Peoplo are discovering something doing in rye. A milling demand for the rye has sprung up which has advanced the price 3c In two weeks. The stock In the country Is said to be very low and mainly in the visible supply. This Is 1.770,000 bushels, against l,uM,0C0 bushels last year. Chicago has no stocks in private houses and during the week 32,000 bushels were withdrawn from public houses for shipment. In Chi cago and Buffalo the stocks amount to 1,042,000 bushels.

Liquidation was the rule In all grain pits today. Increased receipts northwest constituted the princi pal item to depress wheat values. At the close wheat for May delivery was oft r; July wheat is down c; corn is oft VaV. Oats show a loss of We; provisions are lower to 5"7Vc higher. Weakness In the wheat market was In evidence from the start. Improved weather conditions In the northwest resulted in an increased movement from the farms. This fact Induced considerable selling by com mission houses and put traders. Initial tradings on May were off c to lC. July was a shade to Hfic lower. For a time the market received some support from strength In corn. When, however, the price of the yellow cereal began to decline under the weight of reallxlng sales the wheat market followed downward. After touch ing J1.18ftl.l8-fc for May and $1.02 for July prices eased oft gradually. There was lit tle snap to the market. Trading was small In volume. Prospects of a liberal Increase in world's shipments ana In ihe amount of passage helped to create bearish senti ment. For May the lowest point of the session was reached at J1.18. July sold off to Jl.OIV4fil.OlV The market closed weak, with May at Jl.lS's. Final quotations In July were at J1.01V31.01H- Clearances of wheat and flour were equal to liKii.&nO bush els. Primary receipts were 601,500 bushels, compared with 557.000 bushels a year ago. Minneapolis, Duiuth and Chicago reported receipts of 398 cars, against 28s cars last week and 321 cars a year ago. Profit taking on a liberal scale was responsible for a moderate setback In the price of corn. A prominent commission house was the principal seller. Advices to receiving houses reported free loadings at country points, thus forecasting liberal arrivals next week. The possibility of an Increased movement had considerable in fluence on trading. The market opened quite firm as a result of moderate receipts and higher cables, but sentiment soon be came bearish. As the session advanced prices gradually eased off. May opened unchnnged to lc higher, at 477c to 48c, sold between 47ic and 48Vc and closed at 47',ic. Local receipts were 306 cars, with 83 of contract grade. Weakness of corn and heavy selling by cash houses. Indicating larger arrivals. caused nn easier feeling In the oats mar ket. Commission houses were large sellers. Local receipts absorbed most of the sell ing. The volume of trading, however, was small. May opened a shade to Vc higher, at 31V4C to 3iv4y3is,c, sold between Slfcai'Sc and closed at 31c. Local receipts were 150 cars. . Selling of pork by commission houses was the feature of trading in provisions. Lard and ribs were In fair demand. Smaller receipts of live hogs than expected had a buoyant effect on the general market. May pork closed with a Iosb of 2Vic, at I12.U2H- Lard was up 6ii74c, at J6.92. Rlba were up 2Vfcc. at Jfi.70fi6.72T4. Estimated receipts for Monday: Wheat, 21 cars; corn, 387 cars; oats, 223 cars; hogs, 44.000 head.

Total 9J 6ftf9 CATTLE There were only a few bunches of cattle reported this mu.ning, so a fair lest ot the market was not maue. For tne week receipts show a gain over the llghi. run of last week amounting to about 6.i00 head ana as compared with the tame ween ot last year there has been a tailing oft ot about 7,000 head. The market on beef steers has been very Irregular thla week, prices fluctuating up and down at a rapid rate. The early pare of the week supplies were quite liberal and packers pounded tho market in bad shape, claiming they were not in position to handle the cattle owing to a snoriango of retrigerator cars. After Tuesday sup plies moderated very materially and at tne same time there was an increase in the number of refrigerator cars available, o that the market improved about as rapidly as it broke tho Hist two days. Clos.ng prices can safely be quoted fully as good as those In force at the close of last week and a good many operators were calling the market on anything at all desirable aoout a dime higher for the week. Good to choice grades may be quoted from J4.80 to J5.40, fair to good J4.25 to J4.75 and the common and ehort-fed kinds from J4-2S The' cow market has followed much the same course as the trade on steers that Is. prices declined sharply the early part of the week and recovered the loss the latter part, so that the mar ket at the close of the week Is fully as good as at the close of the bust week and some of the better grades may be a trllle stronger. Trading has neen active on all rraries since Tuesday and early clearances were made. Good o choice grades may be quoted from J3.00 to J4.25, fair to good J2.40 to J3.00 and common to fair from J1.G5 to J240. Bulls have not changed much, prices be ing a trifle lower early In the week, but the loss has since been regained. Choice erades sell from J3 00 to J3.60 and commoner kinds down to J2 25. Veal calves are In good demand nnd higher, the best ones sell in up to J6.O0. There have not been many stnekers and feeders on sale this week and the demand has shown considerable Imnrovement mr what It was durlnr the cold wea'her. Th Imnrovement has been particularly nntlre ahle In the demand for llht cattle of sat isfactory quality. That rlnss of stuff and elso good b:avy ette may be minted a little strorser for the week, but there has not been much chanre In the c-mmon rat tle of any weight. Good to choice r-rades sell from J3 75 to 14 35. fair to good '3.2" M.75 and the common e-rades from J3.25 down. Representative sales: COWS. At. Pr. No. At.

Chicago did not show much im provement, but the demand at this point from both packers and shipper was in good shape and us a result the market ruled active and SifjlOe higher. Buyers were all out In good season and it was not long before the early arrivals were dis posed of. Some of the trains were a Iitt.lt late In arriving, but still everything was disposed of by the middle of the forenoon, and the late sales were fully as good as those made early In the day. The light weights Bold largely from $4.70 down, butch ers and mlx-d hogs from J4.70 to J4.76 and heavies largely from J4.75 to H.tH), with prime heavies as high as J4.90. The top in Chicago was only J4.97 and the bulk prac tically the same as at thla point, so that it may be said that local packers are paying nearly Chicago prices for their droves. For the week receipts have been more than twice as large as the light supply of lujit week, but aa compared with the cor responding week of last year there Is but little change. . Prices have fluctuated up and down to quite an extent, but at the close of the week thero Is a net gain over the close of lost week of about 6 to 10 cents. Representative sales: H IK ... Ill U 14 ... IM 17 2M ... 4 7 SHEEP Practically no test of the sheep market was made today, but for the week receipts have been quite liberal. As com pared with last week there Is an Increase of about 12.CMI head and as compared with the same week of Inst year the Increase amounts to about 7,0n) head. In view of the heavy receipts the tendency of the market has been downward The early part of the week packers were handicapped to quite an extent by the shortage of refrigerator enrs. and besides tnat tne quality of the orrerlnga nss been rather Inferior. It seems that the high prices have brouaht In a aood manv Imma ture sheep and lambs, and that never falls to nave a rtetirerslna effect utxin the mar ket. At the close of the week, though, sheep acre not over a dime lower than last week, except perhaps In the case of In ferior graaeg. wnicn miriu tie lixiiisc lower. The big end t the rfcelpts consisted of iamns ana most or tnose were unnn snea. That of course made too many of one kind and the market broke 25c to 40e on the me dium and common kinds. Well finished lambs, thouah. are not to exceed 16n25c lower. The last few days quite a few of me iamns orrerea nave neen nnugni oy feeder buyers to be finished, clipped and sold a little later In the season. The prices Daid raneeil mostly from 16.50 to 6.i5.
