DEADWOOD, S. D., Jan. A. (Special.)
In the absence' of figures compiled by
Stat Mine Inspector Nicholas Treweek of
Lead, whose annual report has not yet
been made publlo by Governor Vessey, no
official figures for the output of 1900 from
the Black Hills are obtainable but from
the best sources, carefully secured. It
ta, learned that the output totaled aboot
) JnoO.WO. Or this amount the Homestake
produced about M. 000,000, which . figure
would hava been ' Increased but for the
labor trouble which caused the property
to suspend operations thirty-five days
short of a year. Other companies, ndtably
the Mogul, Golden Reward, Portland and
Clinton, Imperial -and Waap did not work
the full yewr, most of them being seriously
hamprred by the June flood, while the
Wasp closed down several times during the
year to make repairs and Increase Its
equipment. The Minnesota Mines company
also had some production during the year,
as did a few small properties spasmodi
cally. In the southern hills there were a
few Irregular producers such as the Golden
Bllpper, Uold Medal, Continental Copper
and Smelting company, the Wcstlnghouse
company being the sole regular producer,
It turning out during the year over 1 100.000
worth of mica which was shipped to Its
factories.
Other' (iood ' Prodaeers.
Next to the IlonivHtake. the Mogul was
probably the most Hteedy of any of the
Black Hills producing properties and had
the best record At one time when con
dition were most satisfactory, the com
pany succeeded In pushing Its dally
production up to 420 tons, but this figure
fell back owing to weather and , other
untimely1 conditions and the average was
below 400 tons dally. Still for the year the
company produced about $450,000, which
Is -considered an excellent showing. The
Golden Reward averaged over 200 tons
dally and produced upwarda of 8300,000
worth of bullion for the year. Their Bald
mountain mines were seriously hampered
by the water of the June floods.
The Lundberg, Dorr and Wilson mill at
Terry,, treated custom ore and handled Its
own product mined In the Buxton and
Bonanza properties and adds Sl&O.OOO to the
general figures.
The Portland and Clinton beside striking
and developing new rich ore, continued Its
old work with over forty men and turned
out In "the neighborhood of 175,000 for the
year.
The Imperial worked under difficulties
but kept np a steady operation and showed
something over $100,000 for the year.
Snow Stop Work.
Frequent and heavy snowstorms In this
motion hava placed the mining industry
around here, temporarily at a standstill.
Nearly every one of the mines has been
forced to suspend operations for short
periods during the last week owing to the
J railroads becoming so blocked with snow
that the oro trains cannot get through,
and with one or two more good slxed snow
falls a complete suspension, will result.
Coming as It does with the Homestake
lockout, with so many men out of work.
It has worked an xtra hardship. The
Golden Reward aid Imp-rial companies will
be unable to resume until much of the
present snow Is got out of the way. The
Mogul,, which fehut down for four days,
has resumed and will continue unless an
other severe snowstorm sets In. The Port
land and Clinton property Is working right
along and shipping some or to Omaha.
The Lundberg, Dorr and Wilson custom
mill , at Terry has closed down and will
remain so until conditions forced by the
weather Improve. All this has greatly cur
tailed the ordinary production In this sec
tion and It Is probable that the month of

Consolidation Ills; Help.
One of the most important events affect
ing Black Hills mining conditions Is the
consolidation of the Hidden Fortune and
Columbus Consolidated Gold Mining com
panies, completed at Denver through the
effort of Henry J. May ham, the original
promoter, of New York. By the merger,
the Hidden Fortune, which has had a
checkered career, Iobcs lis Individuality, all
the warring factions having been pacified.
The new company 1 known a the Colum
bus Consolidated Mining company. Its of
ficers are: " President, Henry Frawley,
Dead wood; vice president, Roswcll A.
Breed, Chicago; secretary, J. G. Thomas,
Dead wood; treasurer, N. E. Franklin,
Dead wood; directors. Otto P. Th. Grants,
Deadwood; A. J. Klrkwood, Chicago. The
debts have all been paid, there is a small
surplus In the treasury and arrangements
have been completed for a working cap
ital, so that operations on the property,
which lies near Lead, and contains sev
eral million tons of low grade ore, are ex
peeled to start this coming spring. It is
understood that such operations will be
on a large scale and the development of the
property Is awaited with much Interest
throughout the Hills.
Th Wasp No. i, on Yellow creek, had
a production of about $100,000. The com
pany has the record for being the most
economically handled in the Hills, Its ore
seldom averaging above $2 per ton, but
for year It ha been a steady dividend
payer.
Nw Water Plant.
In the matter of new and Important work
during the last year the Homestake has
been foremost by beginning Its $1,000,000
waterpower plant In Hpearflsh canyon,
which will not be completed until 1911 and
on which a force Is still busy despite the
lockout In th mine and mill. The Home
stake also increased th capacity of its
slims plant and was handling 2,000 tons
dally of slimes when it closed down.
The Golden Crest company. In Two Bit
district, has created a new 300-ton wet
crusher, while tho Hercules Is also building
a milling plant which will be completed in
the spring.
Th Harney Peak Mining company, so
long In litigation, waa reorganised and the
new company known as the Pahasa Mining
company, la carrying on an extensive
sampling and preliminary development
work on the ground near Hill City.
The Black Hills Financial and Devel
opment corporation, known as th Bunce
deal, by which forty-thre prominent Black
Hills properties ar combined and are to
b worked by a system of a parent and
numerous subsidiary companies. Is believed
to mark a new era In Black Hill mining,
as it carries out th Idea of mining by
mean of general consolidation, th plan
being to rct only mill cayabl of treat
ing at least 1.0U0 tons per day.
It la announced that James T. Glllraor.
owner of the Montesuma and Whlssers
property up Deadwood gulch, near this
city, haa closed a deal for the sal of th
property, th new owners not being made
publlo yet. The property was at on time
an etxenslve shipper of the best copper
proapct In the west, having been favor
ably reported on u. numerous exptrts dur
Ing ' the last few years. The new pur
chasers are said to be prepared to sink a
shaft 1,000 feet deep and to systematically
develop the ground some time this spring.

MITCHELL, S. D.; Jan. 14. (Special.)-
The Interior department at Washington Is
still retaining Its Interest In the matter of
settler's living on their claim according
to th land laws of the country. This was
evidenced when Mrs. Tammle Chamberlain
of Parkston was brought to this city for
an examination before a referee concerning

of Urn on a claim west of the Missouri
river. Mrs. Chamberlain, who Is a widow,
lived the fourteen months; on the claim aftd

dence on a homestead owned by her late
husband. It was learned that after Mrs.
Chamberlain left the claim she disposed of
a part or all of her buildings, which would
not indicate that she Intended to make her
permanent residence thereon. It was on
this point that Special Agent York of the
Interior department questioned her. Judg
ing from the inquiries of the special agent
It is evident that the government la going
to pay close attention to the people taking

PIEIIRE, S. D., Jan. 14.-(Speclal.)
Eb Jones, one of the well known ranchers
from the Cheyenne river country, while

to be a scarce article, especially north of
the Cheyenne. Two large grading outfits
are In camp for the winter a short dis
