MINING IN IDE BLACK HILLS
Cpetffish Company Plans Improvements to
Iti Cyanide Plant.
WORK ON GILT EDGE IS RESUMED
fn Method of Handling the llanes
la Proven Satisfactory la Testa
Which- Have Keen Re
cently .Made.
DEADWOOD, April 2. (Special.) The
Spear fish Gold Mining and Keductlon com
pany Is arranging to place a new set of
finishing rools In lta cyanide mill. This
new set of tolls Is rendered necessary in
order that the ore discovered on a lower
level may be treated satisfactorily. This
ore Is less porous and harder than that
which the company has been working on,
nnd It l necessary to crush It much finer,
which renders the treatment more cotnplete
and thorough and has lessmed the capac
ity of the plant, bo In order that the capac
ity may not be Interfered with the new
rolls will be Introduced. Ore Is being
tak n from both the upper and lower lovels
to supply the mill and the company Is
making very satisfactory progress.
Operations which were imspended several
weeks ago In the Gilt Edge-Maid mill were
resumed on Sunday morning. During the
time that the plunt has been idle a number
cf Important changes have been made,
nnd the company hopes that this will be
but the beginning of a long run before
another shutdown. After running for a
tlma when the mill was first started It
was seen that some alteration would have
to be made In the method of handling
the slimes, and this has. It Is believed,
been satisfactorily accomplished, for tests
made of the present system seem to have
proven lta efficiency. At the mine hoisting
machinery has been established, an upraipe
having been trade for that purpose, so
that the company is In a better position to
handle. Its ore quickly and cheaply than
befnre.
The Queen of the Hills Gold Mining and
Milling company has Increased its holdings
near Deadwood by the purchase of three
claims from E. P. Furnham, the Pride
No. 3, Pride No. 4 and Pride No. 6, situ
ated adjoining the original holdings of the
company on Whistler gulch. This now
gives the Queen of the Hills an ncrenge
of ISO acres, on which much development
work, has been done. It is the Intention of
the company to begin so soon as the
weather settles development of Its grogid
tn a more extensive scale, and It Is said
that all arrangements to this end have
been made. President McCltire of the com
pany, who has been In the Hills for several
weeks, looking nfter Its affairs, left for
the east last Tuesday, and before going
stated that the mill, upon which work was
started some time ago, would he completed
just so soon as men and material could be
got on the ground.
From Hidden Trenanre to Illar Four.
I. T. Halrd has resigned ns foreman of
tho Hidden Treasure Gold Mining company
and will take charge of the operations of
the Big Four company when It starts up
early In April. When work Is again started
on the Hlg Four sinking will be reaumed In
the main shaft, which Is now down 170
feet, nnd hns been Idle about a year. Mr.
Halrd had charge of the work while the
shaft waa being sunk, and also did con
siderable drifting from the 170-foot level
before the fire of Inst winter destroyed
the hoist and air compressor plant. Opera
tlona are being continued on the Hidden
Treasure property, Nate Hart, one of the
heaviest owners fn the property, assuming
the management.
At a meeting of the Puritan Gold Mining
company, held In Deadwood on Wednesday
last, the general manager was instructed
and authorised to take Immediate steps
for the Installation of a cyanide retreat
ment plant at the company's milling plnnt
at Strawberry. The present plant of the
company constats of a twenty-stamp mill
and concentrating tables, In which the com
pany has been treating Its ore to save
principally the sliver and lead values It
was known to contain, not paying much
attention to the gold values, but since It
hiu been proven that the gold values are
worth more than the silver Hntflead com
bined the old tailings heap that haa ac
cumulated from the operation of the mill
and the dump which heretofore had been
ctnsldered as bo much waste will be
worked over, ns repented testa show that
both carry free gold In large quantities.
Finds Two Rich Veins.
In the crosscut drift from the 100-foot
level of tho Minnesota Mines company on
Deadwood gulch the face Is now 230 feet
from tho shaft. In Its course two free
milling veins of ore were cut, one showing
a width of twenty feet and the other a
width of fifty-seven. The ore which has
been encountered in the Cambrian forma
tion shows good values and the shoot Is
proving to be a large one. It la said that
the management contemplates the erection
of a treatment plunt on the ground thin
summer.
LEAD, 8. D., A.prll 2.-(.eclnI.)-Check
fur the double dividend which tho Home
stake Mining company began paying In
March were received in Lead on Thursday
and many thousands of dollurs were dis
tributed among its people. There are a
large number of small shareholders In the
company living In Lead, their holdings av
eraging about 150 shares, and the 60 per
cent dividend every month Is something
that the look forward to. Many Improve
ments have been made In the mine and
mill by the company during the last year
or more, and today St Is one of the most
complete factories for the manufacture of
gold that there Is In the world, for manu
facturing la the proper word. Its operations
being on so large a scale that another
term would not properly apply.
Superintendent Wade of the Globe Min
ing company has left for the east for the
pur pore, It is said, of purchasing machin
ery for the new mill which the company
Is building on Its property a short dis
tance south of Lead. The mill building
has been practically completed, but It has
not yet been decided what sort of a plant
to purchase and It Is for this reason that
Superintendent Wade has gone east. At
the present time but one shift of miners
Is employed on the property, and their
work la confined to blocking out ore. On
the 500-foot level there Is a large quantity
of ore In sight, and even now It would
be possible to supply a plant of 100 tons
dully capacity without much trouble. Cy
anldatlon la probably the process which
will be fixed on for the treatment of the
ore, which will, It Is said, be first treated
In a Chilian mill. The Glob company la
well equipped for deep mining, having a
complete hoist, air compressor, uses air
drills and lights Its working by electricity.
Gasoline is used to generate power and
the system which the company has put
In has given the very best of satisfaction
so far.
Will (hip tiara Bell Ore.
Ct STEK CITY, S. D., April S.-(8peclal.)
Eastern stockholders In the Clara Belle
property have been In Custer City for the
laat week or more consulting with Presi
dent Herbert of the company, and the re
sult of the talk has been that several
tons of the ore taken from the main
shaft, which Is now darn Xt feet, will be
shipped to Denver fee test run. On the
ground Is a two-stamp Tremalne mill,
which for a time treated oreaken from
drift on the 200-foot level, but the process
used not proving satisfactory, work tn
the plant was stopped, but siuklng in the)
shaft continued and the rein at the pres
ent depth appears to carry better values
than where worked near the surface. A
test run of the ore will also be made at
the company's riant shortly and If satis
factory a more complete mill will be
erected.
KEYSTONE, 8. D.. April J. (Special.)
Placer mining on Rapid river will soon
begin In earnest. A. L. Richards, who IS
operating for an eastern company, has
started a large force of men at work on
the ditch, which will furnl.h water for the
Richards placer ground along that stream.
This company owns four miles of bars and
creek along that stream and Its operations
last summer were very profitable, making
handsome returns for the money Invested.
Two miles of the ditch has already been
completed and another mile has been sur
veyed and Is now being graded. This ditch
is eight feet wide at the bottom and,
where flumed, Is four feet high, and where
turned Into the creek will have a fall of
100 feet. It Is estimated that It will re
quire four years to hydraulic the bars
coming under the ditch, and when that
work has been completed It 1 said that
the compuny will continue the lltch almost
to Rapid City, where It will establish a
plant for the generation of electricity and
then distribute the power to surrounding
towns and camps.
Machinery for Canton Mine.
On the first of the week a alxU-horse
power boiler, sinking pump, feed pump,
steam hoist, Blake ore crusher, ore feeder,
amalgamating platen and other machinery
was delivered at the Canton mine at Hill
City and is being erected at the mine.
There Is about 2.000 tons of ore on the dump
and this will be crushed nnd run through a
Huntington mill. Thi3 ore was taken out
during de'elopment wofk, and It will be
used in a test run. Much of the values In
the Canton ore is found in a free Mate,
but a great deal of them are saved from
the concentrates. The ore returns very
high assays.
Sinking Is being rnntlnued on the prop
erty of the Dakota-Calumet, and as ma
chine drills are In use It Is going down
pretty fast. The workings have now
reached a depth of about 100 feet, the shaft
being sunk between two well defined ledges
which show on the surface, and when the
required depth shall have been reached
drifting will be started to tap both ledges
If It should be found that they do not come
together before.
ROCH FORD, S. D., April 2. (Speclal.)
Operatlons on the property of the Golden
West Mining company, locnted a short dis
tance from Rochford, will begin the last
of the present week, and the mill, It Is said,
be started on ore taken from the mine,
provided that the water ditch which fur
nishes the power can be kept open. Tho
mine is Iri a fair state of development,
having on It a shaft eighty feet deep and
about 500 feet of tunnel work. The ore
is free milling nnd will be treated in a
Chilian mill capable of handling 100 tons
a day. Seme time ngo a test was made
of the ore in a mill of the same make, only
much smaller, and it is claimed that the
run proved that this kind of a mill was
practicable and thnt It would save the
values In the "ore. Power will be furnished
by a water ditch two miles in length.
SAME OFFICERS FOR HOUSE
"Ho Combine" Will Hold Sway
Attain In Extra Session of
Congreae.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, April 2. (Special.) Now
that It Is definitely announced that the
president will call an extra session of con
gress early In October, the old-time mem
bers of the house of representatives have
been quietly dropping Into Washington os
tensibly to look nfter the interests of their
constituents, but really to hold conferences
over tho organization of the official force
of the Fifty-ninth congress. .So far as
can be ascertained there is little likelihood
of any change In the officers of the house
and the existing organization seems power
ful enough to resist all attacks. The "hog
combine" as the combination of state dele
gations Is known, which has rendered tho
existing organization possible. Is still In
tact. Made up as It In of the delegations
from Illinois, Pennsylvania, New York,
Ohio, Michigan, New Jersey and Wiscon
sin, with a total vote of 131, five more than
a majority of the republican caucus, It Is
plainly futile for any outsider to break
Into that powerful combination. Illinois,
of course, will have the speakership. Penn
sylvania will name tho clerk of the house
and there Is no other thought than that
tho veteran Major McDowell, former mem
ber of congress, and who has filled the
position since the Fifty-fourth congress,
will again occupy his accustomed place.
New Y'ork will name the doorkeeper nnd
Mr. Frank H. Lyons, who has been an
employe of the house since the Fifty-fourth
congress, and who received the unanimous
nomination for the office, will undoubtedly
be retained by the New Y'ork delegation.
Mr. Lyons has made a most efficient officer.
He is polite and courteous and If he can
do a friend a favor he does pot hesitate
to go to the front. As doorkeeper he has
a numlier of "fat" places under him and
these are eaurerly sought for. He has dis
tributed these places with much discern
ment over the country and In consequence
hns a strong following outside of the "com
bine" which has run the house, so far as
the officers are concerned, since the Fifty
fourth congress.
Ohio will keep Captain McElroy ,a civil
war veteran and long time politician. In
the postmastershlp. New Jersey is thor
oughly well satisfied with W. J. Browning,
who hns been chief clerk since the Fifty
fourth congress, and Representative Harry
Loudenslager political adviser. Mr. Brown
ing Is probably the most generally liked
man In the lower house. He Is exceedingly
affable, easily approached and Is "busi
ness" from the ground up. It Is doubted
if the office of chief clerk has ever beon
filled by a man who has given more uni
versal satisfaction than Mr. Browning. His
duties are multifarious In character. He
not only carrlea Important messages to
the senate, which 1b really but a minor
feature of his work, but makes purchases
for everything about the south side of the
capltol. He buys every piece of furniture
for every room set aside for representa
tive purpose. He buys every typewriter
and the coal, and In fact everything which
ls not looked upon as permanent In char
acter. He handles hundreds of thousands
of dollars annually and during the years
he has filled the position of chief clerk
has not lost a dollar, a record of which
he may justly be proud.
It was announced In eastern newspapers
the other day that the governor of Kansas
had announced his Intention of having the
new battleship Kansas christened with
the crude petroleum that has recently added
to the fame of that atute. In some quar
ters here the matter haa been taken seri
ously and an official of the Navy depart
ment, speaking of the governor's Intention
to use oil Instead of wine, said: "It Is
absurd to talk of christening a new battle
ship with oil Instead of champagne. No
sailor man would think that It had ever
been properly launched were the usual
custom omitted. In fact, 1 doubt If you
could get a body of 'Jack tars' to sail In
It. The launching of a ship Is serious bust
ness, and as a class sallormen are the
most superstitious people to be found any
where. If a ship were christened with oil
they would swear that It was bent on
sliding Into the arms of 'Davy Jones' ths
first time a squall hit It and the sallor
men would be powerless to keep It afloat.
Personally, I do not believe that the gov
ernor of Kansas ever contemplated chris
tening ths new battleship to t named
after the Sunflower state ,nl eY! and even
If he had contemplated such an Innovation
the Navy department would refuse the re
quest If made. The old 'seadogs who are
at the head of the various bureaus of the
Navy department know the superstitions of
sallormen better than anybody and they
never would think of sending a ship Into
the arms of 'old ocean' christened with oil
Instend of wine. I look upon the sugges
tion that oil be used as a huge Joke grow
ing out of the action of the Kansas legis
lature to erect an oil refinery of Its own
In that state and forcing the Standard Oil
reople to look elsewhere for its market."
In many quarters the suspicion exists
that the t'nlted States Brewing associa
tion is giving support to the movement to
Impose a duty on coffee and several mem
bers of congress stand ready to Insist that
if such a duty Is to be enacted It Shall be
accompanied by an Increase In the Internal
revenue tax on beer. They point out that
the profit on beer is so great that when the
additional 11 per barrel tax was Imposed
during the Spanish war the price of beer
to tho retailer waa scarcely affected, while
to the consumer It remained the same. In
other words, they claim that when the tax
was repealed It merely transferred 130,000.
000 annually from the Vnlted States treas
ury Into the pockets of the brewers. The
time has how come, they say, to reduce
certain customs duties and to have a gen
eral readjustment of the tariff and Internal
revenue laws, and In the shakeup to In
crease the tax on beer nt least 50 cents a
barrel, which will add S15.ono.oort annually
to our revenues. There Is more or less
talk of Increasing the tax on alcohol, but
It Is discouraged as various commissioners
of Internal revenue hnve stated that to In
crease this tax would decrease the con
sumption nnd Incidentally the revenues.
Besides, It would be resented by all manu
facturers who use alcohol, who are trying
to get the tax reduced from 81.10 to 90 cents
per gallon. On the other hand, when It
comes to a question of taxation, beef has
no friends except the brewers, and many
nre inclined to believe that an increase in
the tax on It will meet with general ap
proval. At the annual dinner of the Five o'clock
club, n famous dining club of the Quaker
City held the other evening, a number of
exceedingly funny things occurred. The
Five o'clockers are anything but serious
minded folk and they endeavor In a quiet
way to make their guests feel perfectly
nt home by Interrupting the speakers and
holding cenversatlons with them to the
enjoyment of everybody but the spenker.
Senator Gamble of South Dakota was one
of the distinguished present. It was Mr.
Gamble's first appearance In the club life
of Philadelphia and he knew little or noth
ing of the ways of these easterners who
get humor out of every wind that blows.
Mr. Gamble mounted his legs to tell them
something about South Dakota, Incident
ally remarking that the state which he
represents In the senate Is richer per capita
than any other state In the union; that It
was remarkable for Its mines, its scenery
and Its general intelligence.
'Yes, and remarkable, too, for the number
of Its divorcees," sold a red-headed fellow
sitting across the table from him.
"Yes, and a great mnny of our clients
come from Philadelphia," replied the sen
ator. He had made good nnd was allowed
to finish his speech without any mors
interruption.
Senator "Tom" Carter of Montana was
there, as was ex-Senator Thurston of Ne
braska, Weather Bureau Moore, Director
of the Census North, Steamboat Inspector
I'hler, Frank P. Sargent, chief of the bu
reau of Immigration; Dr. Harvey Wiley, of
pure food fame, and other department
chiefs from Washington. When Thurston
arose to talk the little red-headed fellow
said, "You ain't going to reproduce your
speech made at the Swayne trial, are you,
John?"
Thurston proceeded, .with his speech, but
had not gone very far In plucking the
feathers out of tho "eagle's tall" when the
persistent red-headed cuss said, "You sing
better than you talk, John," and Thurston
was compelled to sing tho rest of his
speech.
M'CRACKAN TALKS TO THRONG
Christian Science Leader Tells of
Serene Sense of Security Felt
by Relievers.
W. D. McCrackan, one of the American
leaders of Chrlstlnn Science doctrine, lec
tured Sunday afternoon to probably 1,500
people at the Auditorium. While a ma
jority of the listeners were women, there
was a substantial sprinkling of men.
Children were In the audience, too, but not
very numerously.
Premising that the study of Christianity,
and thUB of Christian Science, property
begins with the study of God, Mr. Mc
Crackan asked, What Is God? Answering
his own question, he said It is Just coming
to be recognized that tho mental, moral
and physical health of man la affected
favorably or adversely according as God
Is understood to be Spirit and. Love, as the
scriptures declare. Him, or supposed to be
a God of wrath and variableness, as the
human mind has too often Imagined Him.
Christian Scientists, he said, do not be
lievo in a God of this kind. Knowing that
God Is not limited by human attributes at
all, they have a serene sense of security
in knowing that He is the Infinite source
of supply, that man haa perpetual access
to an ever flowing fountain,' and no worry
nor anxiety obtrudes itself upon their con
sciousness. Speaking of the works of Christ, Mr. Mc
Crackan said: "Christian Science empha
sizes with special Insistence that Jesus'
promises and Injunctions were meant for
nil men and for all time, and were not
Intended to be confined to a particular get
of men known as his disciples and apostles,
nor to a limited period of time, vaguely
designated as the early Christian era,
"We feel that our view of the matter Is
proved correct by His promise: 'He that
believoth in Me. the works that I do shall
he do also; and greater works thsn these
shall he do." "
Of the hoallng of disease the speaker said
It la not likely that, at this late day. there
could b found anybody who has not at
least heard of a case of physical healing
through Christian Science. "There Is no
limit to the power of Truth. It asks not
whether the case be acute or chronic, be
nign or malignant, and It Is significant
that many, If not most of the cases healed
by Christian Science are those which have
been pronounced Incurable by the phy
sicians." In cloBing. Mr. McCrackan paid an ear
nest tribute to Mrs. Eddy as "That noble
woman, the discoverer and founder of
Christian Science, through whom Ood has
spoken so clearly and tenderly to thla age.
I need not say that all I have been able
to tell you about Christian Science Is de
rived from a study of the illumined works
of this good woman. Born In New Hamp
shire, of New England parents, she was
well educated In her youth, early dis
playing exceptional capabilities; that she
waa specially spiritually endowed; and that
the whole trend of her life his been marked
by a search for God and the desire to ex
press Him, and Him only.
"As a result of this search she made her
discovery of Christian Science, and since
then her activity has been principally di
rected toward th promulgation and prea
ervatlon of Christian Science. In the course
of this labor she has written works which
have Illumined the scriptures for a vast
multituds of earnest men and women. 8ha
has emphasised the cardinal point In ths
history of primitive Christianity, namely,
the spiritual healing, which, during suc
cessive centuries, was seemingly allowed
to lapse and become obsolete,"

CATTLE There were only a few head
of rattle In the yards this morning and not
enough to make a market. For the week
receipts have been very light, there being
a fulling off ns compared with last week
amounting to about 3.000 head and to about
6,000 head as compared with the same week
of last year.
The market on beef steers this week has
been In very satisfactory condition to the
selling Interests as the light run and liberal
demand have brought about an advance In
prices amounting to 2Mi36e. Uoth packers
and shippers seemed to be anxious for sus-
filles all the week, so that each day's offer
ngs met with ready sale. The more desir
able grades were, of course, sought after
the most and showed the greatest Improve
ment, but still even the common and part
fat kinds are selling considerably better
than they were a week ago. Taking every
thing Into consldcratle-n this has been about
the most satisfactory week In the cattle
market so far this season. Good to choice
steers are quotable from 35 to 35.80, fair to
good from 34.60 to $5 and the shorter fed
and commoner kinds from 34.50 down.
The cow market has also been active nnd
stronger all the week on the more dcalrnble
grades and such kinds may safely he quoted
2!iijj36c higher than they were the latter
part of last week. The demand for the
common nnd medium grades, however, has
been rather limited, with packers appar
ently Indifferent as to whether they got
such kinds or not, so that It was impossible
for salesmen to advance prices on those
kinds to any extent. There Is, however,
some slight Improvement over the prices
ruling a week ago. Oood to choice, cows
and heifers may be quoted from 83. 40 tu
34.60 and something prime would bring more
than that. Fair to good grades go from
32.90 to 33.25 and common to fair from 31. 90
to 38.75.
The market on bulls Is also a trifle better
than It wna a year ago. The commoner
grades sell mostly from 82.26 to 93 and the
better grades from 33 to 34. Veal calves
have responded to the advance on other
classes of cattle and choice veals are now
selling up to 3i. ,
The stocker and feeder market has been
rsther Irregular this week owing to the
fact that the demand from the country has
been uncertain. The choicer kinds can
probahlv be quoted about steadv, but aside
from that the market has been slow and
prices are unevenly lower for the week.
Oood to choice cattle are quotable from 34
to 34.65. fair to good $3.50 to 84 and common
stuff from 33.50 down. Representative sales:

1 HOGS Receipts of hogs were light this
morning even for a Saturday, and with
favorable reports from" other points and
a good demand from both packers and
shippers, the market here opened fairly
active and strong to 5c higher. It was to
be noticed, however, that buyers were
picking out the choicest bunches, snd good
Eutcher weights were the mot sought
after by both packers and shippers, and It
waa that kind which showed the most Im
provement. The high price today was
$5.27Vi. which was 7c higher than yester
day's best price, and they weighed only 282
pounds, but they were very choice. After
buyers had their more urgent orders- filled
the market slowed down, and as late re
ports from other markets were not so good,
the late sales here were but little better
than yesterday, the popular price being
35 15 with the commoner kinds from that
down. The bulk of all the sales went from
tn 15 to 35.17V4. with the choicer loada
largely from I5.17H to 35.22'i.
Receipts of hoga this week have been
light, there being a decrease as compared
with last week of about 4,000 head, and
as compared with the corresponding week
of last year there Is a decrease of about
18.C0O head. Tho market has not f1uctuatd
to any great extent this week, but clos
ing prices sre a trlflo higher than those In
force at the close of the meek, which
makes this the high day of the year to
date. Representative sales:

SHEEP-There were no fresh arrivals of
sheii. here todav. So that a test of thi
market was not' made. For the week re
reipis have been fairly liberal lor the lime
of year, there being an increase over last
week amounting o About .V'0 hesd and to
about lO.Orti head a compared with the
corresponding week of lust yesr.
But while receipts have been quite liberal,
the demand for the mote .-ev.rable grides
of both sheep and lambs hns been fully
equal to the supplv, with the result thit
pi Ic es on such kind's are J.ist about pteadv
with the close of last week. The commoner
k'nds, however, have been somewhat neg
lected and besides that quite a large pro
portion of the receipt
larking In qualltv. so that prices on the
Prt fat and common kinds' of sheep are a
little lower than they were a week ago
In the case of part-fat lambs of go'id
quality there Is not much change, ns feeder
buyers have been anxious for supplies nnd
have held prices steadv. but part-fat lambs
larking In quality were not wanted by
feeder buyers and as a result they are a
little lower for the week.
