OPINION FROM AN AUTHORITATIVE SOURCE.
The New York Engineering and Mining
Journal
On tie Extent and Richness Of the Black Hills
Mines.

The ~above-named journal has the fol-
lowing notes from its correspondent, a
mining expert, whom the Journal sent
to Deadwood to investigate and report:
Cup to date about thirty gulches-
counting tributaries-have been found
to be auriferous to an extent that will
pay fair wages, "a to Sc per day. In
spots these gulches have proven rich,
and fortunes have already been taken
out. So far all the ground opened has
been found to be shallow-from two to
fifteen feet deep-and it may be ex-
pected that the bars will be rapidly ex-
hausted. In many ways the auriferous
gravel deposits of the Black Hills re-
semble those of Montana, excepting
that as yet no ancient channels have
been found, though we have littledoubt
that in time there will be.
Toward the end of the last year at
tention began to be drawn to the quartz
veins, which are very numerous in the
Hills; and explorations upon a number
of them disclosed the fact that many
presented most favorable opportunities
for systematic development, There is
nothing peculiar in the gold lodes of
this district. The metal, which is
found, Is elsewhere, in quartz, must be
crushed in stamps to yield its gold.
Most of the veins show no decomposi-
ton to amount to anything at the sur
face, and in some that enemy of the
miner, iron pyrites, appears in the
grass roots. There are already three
quartz mills at the Hills, we believe, or
or their way there, and a man with
means to open a mine will not find him.
self at loss for work.
In the matter of silver veins but
little is known. Some exceedingly rich
galena, gray copper and ruby silver ore
has come from the Hills in the shape of
assay samples, and also some specimens
of nc value. But there is no doubt of
the existence of rich silver veins, and
though the history of every mining dis
trict in the west shows that this class
of deposits is almost the last on the list
to be opened and rendered payable, yet
their time will come, and when it does,
it will doubtless be shown that the
Black Hills possess as rich veins of this
metal as any that are to be found any
where,
"There is plenty of room on the Hills
for men of energy, determined, and in
good health, if they have enough means
to overcome the obstacles sure to be
met with at the outset; but there is no
place there for poor men yet. 1t is not
a poor mans paradise in any sense, for
its placer mines, according to the best
information attainable, are not its main
resource"
