LEAD. 8. D., March 11. (Special.) A
meeting of the stockholder of the Hidden
Fortune Mining company was held in
Inad on Thursday afternoon, at which the
Board of Directors for the ensuing year
was selected. The election resulted as fol
lows: John P. Allison, Bloux City, la.; A.
M. Stevenson, Denver, Colo.; Otto P. Th.
Grants, Dead wood. 8. D. ; Herbert Shaw,
Denver, Colo.; E. W. Rice, Sioux City, la.;
Henry Frawley, Dead wood, S. D.; Thomas
J. Steele, Sioux City, la. The directors
were to have met on Friday last to elect
a new set of officers for the ensuing year,
with Judge John P. Allison of Sioux City
aa the president, but a split came when
it was proposed to elect a Black Hills man
as secretary of the company, the Denver
interests Insisting that the present secre
tary, George D. Bogota of Denver be
lected. . The matter had not .been settled
on Saturday last, but it Is believed that
an amicable understanding among the dif
ferent factions will be arrived at soon, and
that the slate as agreed upon before the
meeting, Allison fot president, a Black
Hills man for secretary! Nathan E. Frank
lin of peadwood as treasurer, will be car
ried out nd all the principal offices of the
company filled by residents of the Black
Hills, who will have an opportunity of
telng on the ground at any time. , It is
understood that under the new manage
ment money .will be raised to place the
company on its feet again and that to do
so an assessment on Its capitalization will
ba made. At present there are between
3,900,000 and 4.000.000 shares of stock out
standing, ' and the money raised from
the proposed assessment, should one be
made, will not only be used to pay off all
outstanding Indebtedness, but to Increase
he milling facilities and make Improve
ments In the methods of mining the ore.
Black Hills people have a great deal of
confidence In the . new management to be
elected and are sure that It will make
the Hidden Fortune what It should have
been several years ago a producer and a
dtvldexid payer. The company owns sev
eral hundreds of acres of good mining
ground and one of;the most complete mlll
Vng plants in the entire west.
Accident Delays Resumption.
DEADWOOD, S. D., March 1?. (Special.)
The Dakota-Calumet Copper company, at
' Sher'dan, had made all arrangements to
istart up work 1n its mines and In the ex
perimental -smelting plant which is on the
ground last week, but the carrying out of
Its plans was prevented by an accident. On
Tuesday,, while preparations were being
made to start up the machinery some part
of the air compressor broke, a part which
will have to be sent to Denver or Chicago
to duplicate and cannot reach the mine
until, the latter part of thla week. Work
to have been resumed on the property
on a' large scale, and' pushed during the
spring and summer. When work was sus
pended on this property last year every
thing was looking fine and an excellent
quality of ore was being mined. Other
mining Interests In this neighborhood are
looking good and much work Is being done
upon them. Thls.comlng spring there will
be a great deal of placer work done on the
creek's' and Rapid river, and should the
.cleanups prove as profitable as did those
of last year several fortunes will be made.
' Clover Leaf Strikes nlch.
It is said that another rich strike has
been made on the 600-foot level of the Clo
ver Leaf. On this level the few men who
have been kept by the company for pros
pecting and exploring work have Just en
countered what Is locally known as the
"Old Incline." This has always been a rich
streak In the mine',' and has In times passed
produced ore which has been fairly alive
with gold, Its values running into the thou
sands . pf dollars to the ton. During the
this ground it has worked on this streak
In the S00, 400 and 600-foot levels, and now
that It has again struck It in the 600-foot
level it Is considered very significant. The
former owners of the property worked the
Incline to a depth of between 300 and 400
feet, and it was the rich ore taken from
this working that gave the mine its repu
tation for richness and which was primar
ily the cause' of Its purchase by the pres-
!Int company four or five years ago. The
former owners followed this rich streak
down - In all of Its windings, and only
ceased when, the flow of water became, so
V great that It could not ba controlled by
the appliances at hand, This method of
' mining left the mine in a very poor con
dition for future working, and when It
came Into the possession of the Clover Leaf
company thousands of dead work had to
be done to remedy the poor work of the
former owners. When the company sus
pended operations In the mine a couple of
weeks ago It left a few men at work on
the 600-foot level, which has been the only
work done since the shutdown. Work on
the bedrock dam which will control and
divert the flow -of water In Elk creek
beforo It reaches the mine has already dem
onstrated to the satisfaction of the opera
tors that the great flow Of water into the
mine comes, not from below, but from a
crevice In the creek bed, and that It can
- in a great measure be controlled from the
surface. President Wibeaux of the Clover
Leaf has been In the Hills for two weeks
and Is In consultation with experts regard
ing the flow'of the water and methods to
control it.
Horseshoe's Bis; Cleaaap.
On last Wednesday Edward Manton,
mine superintendent for the Horseshoe
Mining company, came to Deadwood and
brought with him the semi-monthly clean
up of the company's mill. In the clean-up
there were . over 100 pounds of bullion,
valued at about 125,000. At the present time
the mill Is dropping ninety stamps, and the
ore crushed is maintaining a very fair
average. There will be a meeting of the
company shortly at Buelah, Wyo., at which
time. It Is said, there will be a strong fight
made by three different factions among the
stockholders to control the management of
the company. Under the management of
W. L. McLaughlin of Deadwood thu com
pany ha during the past six months met
' almost all of its obligations and is rapidly
nearlng the time when tt will be numbered
among the dividend payers. Its vast ore
.bodies have been opened up in good shape.
f now ground explored and conditions at
1 mine and mill greatly improved; In fact. It
)haa been mad, next to the Homestake and
Golden Reward, the largest bullion pro-
, - ducer In the Black Hills. Its property
would seem to warrant the belief that with
all of ita stamps dropping the Horeshoe
would be only second to the Homestake In
the value of Its bullion produced.
The main tunnel of the Homeatake Ex
tension company, a corporation working
several claims on Deadwood gulch below
fiayvlll. is now in 33s feet and in ore
.which returns assays which average about
L fret milling. Power drills are being
med and good progress made, the tunnel
being 7x9 feet In the clear. It Is claimed
that the ore body Is an extensive one and
that It can be traced on the surface for a
distance of about 3,000 feet. Ohio and
other eastern capital Is being used In the
development of th ground.
Slaking- oa the Elliptic.
Sinking will be resumed In the main shaft
of the Elliptic company's ground on April
1. by which time the Installation of the
hoist, compressor riant and other ma
chlnery necessary to deep sinking will have
been made. The shaft Is now down some
thing over loo feet, and will be continued
to the quartslte. which will be reached at
a depth of about 225 feet. Strong indica
tions of an ore body are met with In the
shaft, while In surfsce workings several
shoots of good grade ore have been opened
up In this ground, which I In the Garden
City district.
Since the plant of the Imperial company
at Deadwood has been enlarged four clean
ups a month are now made, and while fig
ures are not available it Is known that
these cleanups will average better than
$s,0OO each. Development work on the Mc
Govern and 'other recently acquired prop
erty of this company Is proving that the
ground !s all, and more, than has been
claimed for It. This company is one of the
largest owners of mineral lands In the
Black Hills, and Its properties In the
Blaektall district and In Bald Mountain dis
trict are supplying ore to keep the Dead
wood plant in operation, and every day's
work makes the supply of material carry
ing good values larger.
It la proposed by the management of the
Columbus Consolidated Gold Mining com
pany to build a 600-ton plant on Its ground
near Central City, and arrangements to
raise the money for thla purpose are being
made. There can be no questioning the
fact that there is an immense body of low
grade ore In this company's ground, as It
has been explored to the 800-foot level and
cross-drifts have proven the extent of It,
which is something over 400 feet on the 300
foot level.
I.eroy to Ray Hoist.
CUSTER CITY. S. D., March 13.-(Spe-clal.)
President Cook of the Leroy Mining
company left last week for Omaha and
other eastern points for the purpose, it Is
understood, of purchasing a hoist and other
machinery, which will Include an air com
pressor and electric drills, and when they
are Installed on the company's property
development work on a much larger scale
will be Inaugurated. At present It Is the
Intention of the company to sink a double
compartment shaft . on its ground to a
depth of at least 500 feet and thoroughly
open up the ore body and put it In shape
to take ore from. This additional expense
la believed by the management to be war
ranted from the way the property Is show
ing up under the development work that
is at the present time being placed upon
It. Within a week or two a sawmill will
be In operation on the ground for the pur
pose of getting out timbers and lumber
for the buildings necessary to house the
new machinery and furnish accommoda
tions to the increased force of men that
will be employed when work is started on
a larger scale. This property Is located
on French creek, and is considered one of
the best prospects In this section of the
Black Hills.
Operations on the property of the Ex
treme Mining company will begin early
next month and will be carried on on a
much larger scale than ever before. This
property has been opened up to a consider
able extent and a thorough test made of
Its ore body in the ten-stamp" mill that
Is operating on it. and it has been shown
that the property will pay expenses, even
In the small way in which it has been
operated1, with the disadvantage of having
to haul the ore to the mill In wagons, do
ing hand work on the drills and losing
good valuea in the tailings, which could
be saved by cyanldatlon. It Is the inten
tion of the company to Install power drills
and a good hoist as soon as possible. With
these additions to its present equipment
there can be no doubt but that the mine
will become one of the successful of the
Black Hills. ,. . -r - i
CHICAGO GRAIN AD, TROVISIONS
Features of th Trading; and Closing
Prices on Board of Trade.
CHICAGO, March U. Alm.t complete
withdrawal of buyers owing to favorable
weather for the growing crop caused pro
nounced weakness toward the close in the
wheat market here today. At the finish
May wheat was off lf2c, July down lc,
May oats off c, corn and provisions prac
tically unchanged.
Nervous uncertainty characterized the
trading in wheat at the opening. Senti
ment, nowever, seemed inclined to hearish
ness, influenced mainly by lower prices at
Liverpool. A factor that partially offset
the effects of foreign weakness was the
Sovernment crop report Issued late yester
ay. This report was generally considered
quite bullish, as Indicating that the wheat
reserve was 18.000.0u0 bushels less than a
year ago. In spite of this fact, opening
quotations on May were off a shade to V
c at 81.134il.134. July was a shade lower
to UUc higher at 92&C(i9ic. Soon after
the opening May was under considerable
selling pressure from longs and reacted to
tl.llV July was off in sympathy to 92?ic.
The market then developed firmness, July
railing to 934c and May to 81.134. Much
of the strength was due to the situation in
the northwest. Receipts today at Minne
apolis and Duluth were comparatively
small, and there were Intimations of a still
further reduction in arrivals. For a time
the market held rather Arm on a small
volume of business. Late (n the day, how
ever, a sharp decline in southwestern mar
kets started an attempt at genr selling
by commission houses here, Buyers were
few, owing apparently to the brilliant
weather. The result was a quick break in
prices. May sold off to S1.114 and July to
91Vc. The market closed practically at the
lowest point, rlnsl quotations on May being
at tl.U. July closed at 91V&914e.
Clearances 'of wheat wei equal to 94.200
bushels. Primary recerprs were 88(i,5oO
bushels, compared - with 4iH,100 bushels a
year ago. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago
reported receipts of 273 cars, against 325
cars last week and 336 cars a year ago.
Between weakness of wheat and the bear
ish tenor of the government crop report
the corn market held remarkably firm.
Trading was active throughout the entire
duy. the volume of business being larger
than for some time past. A feature that
was largely responsible for the strength of
the situation was the reported purchase of
a line of I,6o0.ouo bushels of corn by a lead
ing bull operator. Firm cables and large
clearances were factors contributing to
the firmness. May opened unchanged to
c higher at tj-ihVc. sold up to 484c and
closed at 4So. Local receipts were 474 cars,
With t at contract grade.
The break in wheat was the principal
factor In the oats market. Another in
fluence that created some bearlshness was
an estimate of large receipts on Monday.
Provision Interests hud large offerings,
but demand was slack. May opened a
shade to 4o lower at 3iio to SlttSlTie,
sold between 314c and 31Tc and closed at
814c Local receipts were 266 cars.
Provisions were steady on small-volume
of trading, a firm holding market as the
main Influence. May pork closed unchanged
at 112.524. Lard and ribs were each up 24c
at 16.974 and 8680, respectively.
Estimated receipts Monday: Wheat, 28
cars; corn, 633 cars; oats. 4u0 cars; hogs,
84,000 head.

OMAHA, March 11. 1905.
The government report oruy uwiM with
the amount of grain in farmers hands
March 1. Wheat larm reserves are given
at nuw.Oo bushels, or M per cent 01
the crop, compared with 132.0jo,Oi busnels,
or 2u.8 per cent, in 19h; 164.ouu,u0. or M.a
per cent, in 19"i), and 173.0m,oOO bushels, or
23 3 per cent. In 12. Corn reserves are
given at RVt.OuO.ouO bushels, or 38.7 per cent
of the crop, compared with fc39,uu0,nw bush
els, or 3. .4 per cent. In 1!H; Ioo.OOO.kiO,
or 41. per cent, in 19 3: 443,o",OoO, or 19.1
per cent of the crop, in 19U. The oats re
serves are given at S47,uuo,ouO bushels, or
38.8 per cent of the crop.
The report Is said to be about what was
expected in wheat, but the break in the
May this morning shows the bulla looked
tor the reserve to be under the hundred
million. By noon today the May reached
$1,114. the lowest point since the middle of
December The high point Friday waa
11.144 and the low 11.13, so that the slump
In one day amounts to 3 cents. -The open
ing and high point of the May today was
$1,134. The July kept pace with the early
delivery month, falling from M'c, the hlh
point of Friday, to 914e. The September
lost about a cent during the session. The
September at Chicago Friday night sold
on an export parity with Liverpool. The
northwestern cars are 3n0 today. 323 lit
week and 336 last year. The Australian
shipments are heavy, being l.2.0OO bushels,
against 1. 452,000 bushels the preceding week
and 1.056.00.) bushels lasr yeai. Cables are
4 lower. No derision will be given on the
Oregon red wheat until early next week.
The government - report shows the re
serves a little larger than was expected,
and the same Is true of oats. The corn
market, however, did not show any effect of
the statement this morning; it had been
fully discounted, anywav. The oats went
down about 40. w. H. Bartlett says of
corn that the March rerort in 1903 showed
farm reserves of l.OSn.ooO.OOO bushels, or
100,000.000 bushels more than at present. In
the former year the corn sold at &3c In
July and August. This year he sees a
greater home consumption and a greater
export demand. Brokers who usually trade
for Armour have been large buvers of the
corn one taking 2.000,000 bushels of the
Msy at 48-e and 484c. Chicago reports
8.000.000 bushels In corn calls bought Friday
night at 484c. The corn export seems. In
the general opinion, to be on the Increase.
The total export today is 1.127,000 bushels.

LONDON. March 12. Under the influence
of the reouctlon in the bank rate and the
frospects of; cheaper., money, business on
he Stock exchange became active and
strong during the week, with the feature
the conclusion of the nlneteen-dwy account
with practically an unbroken advance In
ririces. Good board of trade reports helped
ncrease the strength of consols, while the
bullish feeling was accentuated by the Rus
sian reverses, which it Is said must bring
about negotiations for an early restoration
of peace. Some anxiety prevailed as to
how foreign bourses, which are large bold
era of Russian securities, will take the po
litical developments iri Russia. Should they
become serlot.s enough to produce a panic,
selling abroad Is sure to affect foreign hold
ings here! but some confidence Is derived
from the fact that the bourses acted with
calmness in the fare of the serious Russian
reverses In Manchuria.
American securities continue strong un
der the support of Wall street, and In
creaaed continental buying with the feature
heavy Investments In bonds hy French
houses. Various stocks apparently have
been picked out for manipulation, but the
salient feature of the week was Chesa
peake's advance of 64 points, and the rise
of 8 points In Canadian Pacifies, while Hud
son Bays Improved a further 4 points.
Manchester Textiles.
MANCHESTER, March 12. The cotton
cloth turnover last week waa of smaller di
mensions, though still fairly large, while
the demand for shirtings was Insatiate.
Indian orders show the greatest reduction
after recent heavy buying, but China ab
sorbs well for delivery far ahead, when
makers are willing to enter fresh orders.
Near markets were quietly steady. Ad
ditional spindles. It was reported, will soon
be ready and American cotton will thus In
crease in competition and output and spin
ners' margins. Yams were firm despite
reduced business, American grades were
most In demand.

CATTLE There was no particular
change in the cattle market here today,
about the usual Saturday conditions pre
vailing. For the week receipts have been
a trine heavier than last week, the gain
amounting to about 3,0W head. As com
pared with the corresponding week of last
year there Is a gain of about 2,00 head.
The market on beef steers has been In
very satisfactory condition all the week,
the demand apparently being in excess of
the supply. As a result the tendency of
prices has been upward, with a net gain
over the close of last week amounting to
about 15026c. The Improvement has been
general on all kinds that would do to kill.
As compared with the low time present
prices are sbout 75c per hundred higher.
The top price of the week was 85.65 and
good to choice grades may be quoted from
$5.16 to $5.65, fair to good from 84. 60 to $5.16
and the shorter-fed varieties from $4.40
down.
The cow market has also been active all
the week, with the tendency of prices up
ward. The gain over the close of last week
amounts to about the same as on steers,
namely, 15025c, or 75c over the low time.
The common kinds have sold to good ad
vantage the same as the better grades, but
of course the demand has been greatest for
the choicer classes. Good .to choice grades
of cows and heifers may be quoted from
$3.25 to $4.85, fair to good from $2.50 to $3.15
and common to fair from $2 to $2.60.
Bulls are also 15026c higher than they
were a week ago. Choice grades may be
quoted from $3 to $415, with the commoner
kinds from $3 down. Veal culves sell up
to $6.25 or a little better.
The demand for stockers and feeders has
also been active this week and with mod
erate offerings the market has advanced
fully U025c, which carries prices to the
high point of the season to date. Good to
choice grades have sold from $4 to $4.76,
with fair to good from $3.60 to $4. The com
moner kinds have not been as brisk aa the
choleer loads, but still they have sold a
little higher than they did a week ago.
They may be quoted from $3.50 down.

HOGS The market opened out fairly
brisk at Just about steauy prices and early
trading was along those lines for desirable
grades of shipping and heavy. After first
round, and In fact at no time waa the trade
much good on common, mixed and light
lots, the market became decidedly dull and
unsatisfactory and sales appeared lower
than the opening all around.
There was a lack of weight and quality
this morning, no choice heavy loads on sale,
so that tops show far below yesterday;
however, the bulk appears practically In
yesterday's notches. Heavy sold at $4,900
6.00, medium and mixed at $4.8240490, and
light grades from $4.85 down. Sales toward
the close were usually quoted weak to a
nickel lower than the opening.

the sheep market here today. For the week
receipts have been quite liberal, there being
an increase over last week and also over
the corresponding week of last year,

with the close of .ast week, prices on both
sheep and lambs Know a loss of about l.nj

BOSTON, March 11 WOOL The Com
mercial Bulletin today says: The
wool market ! quiet and devoid of stun
ling features. In a small way a fair amount
of foreign clothing wool la selling and the
filling varieties of class HI wools move
steadily. Domestic trades are dull and
nominal, owing to small stocks nnd no
trading to establish a price. The principal
weakness la In medium and low wool, fol
lowing the decline In London. High prices
rule fit the west and trading In the new
clip Is curtailed by the lofty ideas of grow
ers. The shipments of wool from Boston
to date from December 29, 1904, according
to the same authority, are 49,784,2S4 lbs.,
against 45,838.778 at the same time last
year. The receipts to date are 64,408.521
lbs., against 36,044.374 for the same period
