INCREASES CAPACITY BY ONE-HALF With Inrreased Facilltlea the Com- paay F.xpeets t Treat Poor Thoasand Five Hondred Tffas Monthly. DEADWOOD. 8. D., March 19. (Special.) Ground has been broken by the Imperial company for the new building which will houso the additional tanks, which that company Is bddlng to the plant In the First ward of Deadwood, and tha timber and lumber for the building has already been delivered on ,the ground. These new tanks will have a capacity of 275 tons each, which will increase the tank capacity of the plant 60 per cent. At the present time there are four tanks in the Imperial plant having 275 tons capacity each, and the new addition will give the mill a capacity of 150 tons of ore as the minimum, dally. Last month the plant treated between 3,000 and 3,500 tons of ore, but it Is hoped to Increase this to 4.500 monthly. The output of the plant In gold bullion last month amounted to ja.ooo. At the mines of the company conditions were never more favorable than at the present for successful work. For several months the company has been endeavoring to make connections between the Mark Twain and the north side of Its property at Portland, and this connection Is ex pected to be rnada some time within the next few days. When this shall be done the company will have. Its shoots crosscut from one end of Its property to the other, and will be enabled to take the ore out from the south side, through the Horse shoe, where drainage facilities will be fur nished, Instead of at the north side, as at present, where it is necessary to run up an Incline and where It is difficult to dis pose of the water. In the course of this work enormous bodies of ore have been disclosed, but It Is Impossible to form an adequate Idea of their extent unless by a personal inspection. The Imperial company has recently made final payment on. the Costello group of the McOovern property. which gives the company all of the North Segregated,, Burlington and Apex and a fourth Interest In all of the mining ground owned by the Costello estate. Another Im provement which the company had In view Is the changing , from steam to electric power, and so soon as arrangements can be made the change will take place. At the present time there are a number of mining plants In the vicinity of Lead, and Dead wood which are using electricity for power and it has. in every instance proven to be an Ideal one, the electricity being generated at Pluma, which In every Instance Is sev eral miles from the plants. Average is Maintained. Many of the principal mining companies of the Black Hills have already sent in their cleanups for the first half of March, and In every Instance they have kept up to the average. Spearflsh last Tuesday sent down Its bars of gold to the United States assay office, and they weighed in the neigh borhood of $19,000: Horseshoe has also been a contributor; the Golden' Reward, the Hid den Fortune, Wasp No. 2, Lundberg, Wil son & Dorr, who are operating on the Buxton and Big Bonanza at Terry; - the Imperial, the Dakota and the Maitland. Reports from all of these properties are of the most encouraging nature, not only so far. as the ore supply Is concerned, but to Its milling values. Last Tuesday afternoon the miners who have been working In the west drift which Is being run from the bottom of the Bing ham shaft on the Hidden Fortune property on Poorman gulch, broke into a body of ore, which at a higher level proved to be very extensive. When work closed Friday night the men had penetrated the ore body for a distance of at least twelve feet, and the indications then -were that it would prove to be very extensive. Several sam ples have been taken from the face of the drift and from along its sides, and the average assays from them return 310.20 a ton gold, most of the values being free mill ing, but all of them capable of being saved by the cyanide retreatmen't of the tailings. The mill of the company on Lower White- wood has been doing very good work lately and should this ore body which was struck last Tuesday be as extensive as It is at present believed, and its values' keep up, tha Hidden Fortune will prove to be 6ne of the largest contributing factors to the bullion product of the Hills. At the re cent meeting of the board of directors ot the company, held In Lead on March 11, the following officers were elected: J. P. Allison, president; Otto P. Th. Grants, vice president; N. E. Franklin, treasurer; David F. Bowen, ''secretary; Henry Frawley, at torney. With the exception of tha presi dent, Judge Allison of Sioux City, all of the officers are residents of Lead and Dead- wood, and the management of the company is in entirely new hands, all of them men of wealth and character. Thomas J. Steele Is general manager. Redfern's New Oftlcors. , ' At the annual meeting of the Redferu Mining company, held in Deadwood last week, the following board of directors was elected: John Croft, Deadwood; A. E. Hawley, Lead; C. N. Phillips, Grand Island, Neb.; Mrs. D. Jamleson, Omaha; E. E. Peck, Deadwood; H. McConald, Alliance. Neb.; Joseph Drennan, Redfern, S. D. ; O. C. Phillips, Grand Island, Neb. At the directors' meeting, Immediately fol lowing the stockholders' meeting, the fol lowing officers were elected. Mrs. D. Jamie son, president; O. C. Phillips, vice presi dent; T. J. Heaton, Fairmont. Neb., treas urer; John T. Heffron, Deadwood, secre tary. The Redfern property consists of 240 acres ot land in Pennington county near the station of Redfern on the Bur lington & Missouri River railroad, from which the company takes Its name. Dur ing the past two years there has been a large amount of development work done upon the property. Of lute this work has been confined to tha. sinking of a shaft, which has now reached a depth of some thing over 100 feet, following a strong vertical of free milling ore, which returns fair assays. This shaft will be sunk to tha 200-foot level, when cross-cutting will begin. There are a number of smaller veins paralleling the one on which the shaft la being sunk, and it Is the Intention of the company to provpect tbem by tho crosscut which It will run from the 200 foot lovel. Bealdea the quarts veins on the ground, considerable placer gold has been taken from the company's property during the past few yeara. Work on the big mill which the Branch Mint company la building on - Bare Butte creek in Galena Is progressing very favor ably, and with a continuance of good weather will shortly be completed. Work on the railroad, which will connect aome of the principal mines of the company with the milling plant, and which was aband oned on the coming of. freezing weather, has been resumed and will be' finished within a few weeka. All of tha construc tion work which the company is doing, and all the Improvements which it la mak ing at mine and mill are of th most sub stantial character and up to date in every particular. Work of development Is going on in a small scale, but it It understood that the force ot miners will be Increased so soon as the snow Um disappeared and the property placed In shape tor getting out or. Find laetrt'let Wealth.- Since th Puritan mill has been Idle the discovery has been made that th or which has been mined and milled by the company from its ground on Strawberry carries me tallic gold, and every panful tested shows a long string of color. This has caused the company to defer startlpg up Its plant until such time as amalgamating plates can be Introduced In Its mill. There are plates on hand for ten stamps, but aa the mill Is a twenty-stamp affair, the company will wait until the other plates which have been or dered have been installed. Heretofore th chief values in this ore have been consid ered the silver and lead which It carries, and although It was known to carry seme gold, occasionally as high as 170, no teats were made for free gold, and oftentimes no gold was disclosed by the fire test. Re rtently the management was mystified at the way the ore was acting as It did not show the gold known to exist, so a shutdown was ordered until an Investigation could be made. Pnn .tests were then made of the ore on the dump and of the tailings from tha or which had been run through the mill, and every test resulted in leaving a long string of gold In the pan. It Is said that it is almost impossible to take a pan ca"',lns" m"ch strength. GRAIN AND PRODUCE MARRE1 Wheat Market Adrances and Closes Week Belter Than Last. CASH WHEAT STRONGER, CORN WEAKER Cables Stronger on Cora and Bring Acceptances All Chlcnga Crn Received Is Nebraska Grata Going Eaat fats Export. OMAHA, March 18. W. The wheat closed the week much better than It did last week. The cablea were from H to Ho higher; the weather pre dictions are for colder weather; the crop newa Is less favorable; shorts are cover ing; the cash demand Is stronger In the northwest; the sales of flour lor export are better; the primary receipts are smaller; there Is some Hessian fly talk; these and other reasons have canned the wheat to advance the last two days. The high point for the My Friday was 31.141. uid that waa th low market for today. The future opened at 31.14V, advanced to 81.15H and closed at 11.15V The July ad vanced almost as much. Cudahy brokers sold the May this morning around SI. 16S and Armour bought from He up to c. of tailings or loose dirt from the dump without getting good colors, and this fact has caused considerable excitement in the district In which the Puritan Is located, for a great deal of ore has been treated there which was not treated with a view of saving the free gold. The Puritan com pany owns 100 acres of land In the district and has opened up Its ground by a shaft, from which drifts have been run into th ore body, and considerable ore blocked out ready for hoisting. The company has a well equipped hosting plant which delivers the ore to a tramway which takes It to the mill. It Is expected that the additional plates will be In place by the latter part of the week, by which time the mill will again be ready to start up. Intersecting Rich Ore Shoots. Recently the Maitland company, in th Garden City district, began driving a tun nel from the westerly side of its property to Intersect the ore shoots which have been developed, on the north side of the' com pany's cyanide plant, and which have been showing excellent values. The work of the company's treatment plant has been excel lent and has proven to be one ot the beat savers of values from ores in the Black Hills, while the conditions in the mines were never better, and both are making a splendid record. Thursday one of the most Important dis coveries that has yet been made in the ground owned by the Horseshoe company was made on the McDonald claim, when the ledge for which a tunnel was being driven broke Into it. Vein matter taken from the first few feet of the ledge gives assay re turns of 500 ounces of silver to the ton and 3250 In gold. It is said that the ledge is an extensive one and that the assays given above were from samples taken from the entire face of the workings. Gold Quarts from Foreat Belle. CUSTER CITY, March 19. (Special.) Some very handsome specimens of gold quarts have recently been taken from the Forest Belle group of mines, situated In the Chllcoot district near Keystone, and owned by J. T. Potter, Dr. G. II. Miller and as sociates of Keystone. This group consists of sixteen claims, all of which are heavily timbered and well watered. Work Is being prosecuted on a body of quarts which gives excellent promise. ' It is said that tha Black Hills Copper company Is making arrangements to re sume work on its property this spring, and that It will be conducted on a much larger scale than formerly. This company owns 600 acres of land in the vicinity ot Roch ford and on it a number of ore bodies car rying copper have been uncovered and it is claimed that some of the ore taken from these shoots carries a high percentage of that metal. On the surface, when the property was first worked, the ore de posits were tested for gold and silver, but as depth was attained the evidence of cop per In paying quantities in the ore became o strong that since then the ore has been worked with the view of ' developing a cop per mine, and, if reports are true, the company has a good chance of doing so. It Is said that a bond Is being negotiated by 'Black Hills capitalists, who have as sociated with them eastern parties, on the St. Johns group of claims In . the Callboga district. There Is upon the ground a strong ledge of free-milling ore, carrying good values, which has been opened up to a depth of seventy feet. On this ledge sometime ago a two-Stamp mill was op erated for a time, and the ore tested in It. It Is said that the tests mnde demon strations that the mine would be a paying one If 'worked upon a larger scale. It now looks as though the Gertla, a tin proposition near Hill City, would soon be a producer, for with the assistance of local capitalists work has been resumed on its development and a small prospecting mill will be erected on It. Work on the prop erty shows It up In excellent shape. LEOPOLD TAKES A HEADER King ot Belgians Saves Lives of Three, bat Wrecks His Automobile. BRUSSELS, March 19. (Special Cable gram to The Bee.) King Leopold reoently was motoring along that splendid Cornlche road that joins Nice and Monte Carlo. The chauffeur was driving, and King Leo pold was sitting beside him in the front seat. The car was traveling at racing speed, for the king has frequently said that he has no use for a car that cannot do its sixty miles an hour. Suddenly, as the car swung around a turn in tha road, the horrified motorists saw directly before them, standing paralyzed with fear in tha middle of the roud, a woman pushing a perambulator and leading by the hand a little child. The car waa traveling at tha rate of forty miles an hour. There was no time to stop and no room in which to turn aside, for the road was narrow and steep banks bordered It on either side. "Reverse and run Into the ditch," or dered the king, and the chauffeur obeyed. The big car, shaken from stem to stern by the power of the reversing lever, slack ened ' speed sensibly, swerved, whirled to one side, plunged Into the ditch, turned a complete somersault, and lay motionless on Its sld. HAS NEW COLONIAL ATTACHE Germany Will . Try Experiment la London in Aid of Its Colonies. BERLIN, March 19 -(Speclol Cablegram to The Bee.) The budget committee of th Reichstag has rejected a vote for th coat ot a colonial attach for th German em bassy In Paris, but granted 18.000 marks as a vote for the experimental establish ment of a similar official In London. In defending the vote the foreign secretary, Baron von Rlchthoten. said that an at tache of this kind, who had gathered ex perience In th .German colonial service, would be of mor value than a secretary ot embassy without special knowledge. Such an official, being closely connected with the embassy, would be able to move about mora freely and could mor easily associate with those who would provide him wMh the Information h required. In particular It would be his. business to get Into touch with these representatives of the colonlej who, tjt example, rvaided In Lqndou. The cash wheat market Is stronc Chi cago sold 2O.OU0 bushels to millers Friday and the spring wheat did much better than for some days. Minneapolis reported a good demand by elevator and mill In terests and closed with an advance, for the day of Hie. Duluth and St. Muia t?ach advanced c In their cash markets, and Kana City did a little business, although it wan perhaps the dullest of th markets. Minneapolis promises trouble 1-or the May wheat shorts.- The contract wheat Is said to be all owned by the millers, who are reported to Intend to hold It all for their own use. Frtday'a close there was a differ ence between Duluth and Minneapolis In wheat of 6c In favor of the latter market, but no wheat was moved to Minneapolis. There Is fear. It Is said, the No. 1 north ern at Duluth will not grade at Minne apolis. The northwestern cars, Including Chicago, wer 276, against 273 last week and 336 last year. The papers are full of good crop news, among them a report from Holdrepfe, Neb., that the crop condition Is fine. The Australian wheat shipments have fallen off, being 640,000 ' bushels, against l.2.000 last week and 1.176.000 bushels Inst year. Rroomhsll estimated the world's shinmenta for the week st 9.W0, bushels. The cash corn market is down from Mc to 4c in Chicago on the estimated cars of corn for Monday, 956. The pit crowd has been a seller on this Information, although the rablea are Vo higher. Nearly all of the Chicago receipts of corn are from Ne braska and are sold through to the seaboard for export and are not ptoped at Chicago. The sample tables there are light of grain. The large receipts for Monday are due to the operations of the Northwestern, the Illinois Central and the 8t. Paul, which will run In corn Sunday. Peoria reports the purchase there Friday of one car of corn and one car of oats. Terra Haute says business is extremely light. The clearances tot'ay are 440.000 bushels. Chi cago reports the sale of ten loads of corn there for export. Cables this morning brought many acceptances on last night's offers. Omaha Cash Prices. WHEAT No. 2 hard!

July Is up a shade. - Corn and oats show a loss of tfrc. Provisions are practically un changed. - . 1 The wheat market opened with unmis takable Indications ot bullishness. May was unchanged to 4c higher, at $1.14'qP 1.16. July was a shade lower to WitVtO higher, at 9(?92Tstf. Frcm the start the May delivery waa in active demand, shorts being the best buyers. "The weather was still extremely favorable to the growth of the fall-sown crop, but bullish news from the northwest easlv outweighed this in fluence. Receipts In the northwest wero siuck ana aavicea irom lutnneapous anowea a good market . for cash wheat. Another reason for the firmness at the opening wns higher prices at Liverpool. Australian1 shipments showed a large falling off. To this, with continued bad reports of the Indian wheat crop, was attributed - the strength of foreign grain markets. Dur ing the first part of tho trading here offer ing! were rather light and on predictions by tho weather bureau of colder weather throughout the west anC southwest sellers became still fewer. On buying due to feara of damage by . f rout, prices advanced ma terially. May selling up to 8L16. and July to 93'g93Ho. The market reacted con siderably on profit taking. In July. The close, however, was firm, with May at 81.16. Final quotations 'on July were at 9294c. Clearances of -vheat and flour wer equal to 101,300 bushels, r Primary receipts were 389,100 bushels, compared with 479 300 bushels a year ago. Minneapolis, Duluth and Chicago reported receipts of 276 cara, against 273 cars last week and 836 cars a year ago.

For the week receipts are about 2.000 head smaller than they were a week ago and about 7,000 head less than for the corre sponding week of last year. Prices on beef steers hav fluctuated b,ck and forth to quite an extent this week. The week opened with a slightly lower market on Monday. On Tuesday and Wednesday prices advanced quite rapldlv and on Thursday and Friday they receded. This leaves closing prices In much the same notches they were at the close of last week. Trading has been fairly active most of the time, so that each day's offer ings have been well cared for. Good to choice beef steers may be quoted from $6.00 to $6.76, fair to good 84.60 to $5.00 and com mon grades from $4.-25 down. The cow market followed much the same course as steers., there bclnsr a weaker, feel ing on Monday, with a Sharp advance on Tuesday and Wednesday. The decline on Thursday and Friday, however, was more rapid than In the case of steers, so that closing prices on cows and heifers are a little lower than thev. were a week ago. In most cases a dime would probably coven -the loss, but In others It amounts to fully 10 to 15 cents. As Is generally the case when prices move backward and for ward at a rapid rat the market Is rather ureven. so that some sales look much bet ter than others. Good to choice grades are ouotable from $3.25 to $4-36. fair to wood f?.Wf?'3.16 and common to fair 32.0019)1.50. Packers have pounded the bull market to quite aa extent the last two days, which leaves ruling prices all the wav frpi '0 to 20 centa lower for the week. Good to choice grades mav be quoted from 83.65 to $4.00. fair to good $3.09 to $3.50 and com moner grades $2 25 to 33.00. Veal calves are considerably lower for the week, the better grndes selling largely from $5.00 to $5.50. with something vary choice a little above that. The demand for the better gradea of stockers and feeders has been fully equal to the supply and closing prices are Just about where they were a week ago. The common kinds, however, are rather neg lected, and while they are not much. If any, lower, they ate certainly no higher. The cattle that are selling from $4.50 to $4 76 are mostly western hay feds and ar of very good quality. Good to choice feed ers may Tie quoted all the way from $4.00 to $4 76. fair to good $3.50 to $4.00 and com moner grades from $3.40 down. Representa tive salesi Sk Av.

Only pail , of the packers, however, were bidding those prices and after the first round or two the mar ket came to a standstill, with buyers of fering no more than steady prices with yesterday. Salesmen all thought they ought to get more money and aa a result It was some time before much business was transacted, and In fact quite a few hogs were in first hands at a late hour. Light hogs sold early, largely from $5.00 Cown, butchers and mixed from $5.00 to $.",(12 and heavlea from $6.02 to $5.10. This haa been the high week so far this season on th hog market. Prices have moved steadily upward ever since Monday and closing srlces show a net gain over the clou of last week amounting to about 15 cents. Receipts have been exceptionally light there being a decrease as compared with last week amounting to about 16,000 head and of about 11,000 head bp compared with the same week of last year. As has been previously mentioned through these columns, packers are looking more at quality and less at weight than hey wer a ahort time ago and the range of prices is much narrower. Prime heavies still top the market as a rule, but they must be extra fancy to do It. A prim load of me dium weights sell to just about as good ad vantage r.a the heavies, a la shown by the fact that the $5.10 load today weighed 262 pounds, representative saiea: No. S5...I 60... 70... 71...

For th week receipts hav been quit a little smaller than they were either last week or during tho corre-fpondlng week of last year, but apparently there waa enough on sale to meet th requirements of th trade. lTicea on aheeo and lamba this week have fluctuated very little. On aoine days It waa easy to get steady prices and at tha cloaa of the week prlcea ar In much I tha same nv'rbes tbey wer a week ago.
