Professor RiottA.


Professor f. n. Riotte, Of New York
one Of the most thorough mining ex-
perts in the United States, passed
through Rapid City Monday, bound for
Bald Mountain, where he will commence
operations on the Portland. Professor
Riotte has an extensive laboratory in
New York, containing machinery and
appliances necessary for testing all
known kinds of ore. He visited the
Hills last summer, and examined the
Portland mine, finding it's ore to contain
characteristics entirely new to him. He
has made many tests Of it, and has now
u process of separating the gold from
base metals, and is confident the mine
will be made to yield largely. He gives
q very fiattering opinion of Bald Noun
tain property, and says the Portland has
a large ore body that will yield an aver
age Of twenty dollars per ton, while the
cost of reduction will not be one dollar
per ton i'm excess of that Of the Home
stake. In speaking Of the Black Hills
as "a mineral country the professor gives
it n good send-off. He believes it to
contain q great number of rich mines as
yet undeveloped, and is confiden mt it is
gradually working toward great and per-
manent prosperity. The opinion of a
man like Professor Riotte has much
weight in moneyed circles, and it may
prove a good thing for the Black Hills
mining interests that he has interested
himself in them.-Journal.

Died.

OLDS-May 5, at s o'clock p. m, Reuben,
infant son Of William and Pauline
Odds, aged nineteen months.
The particulars attending the death Of
this little n are particularly sad. Mr..
is a brother-in-law of Capt. Willard, and
came with his family from Custer to
visit and comfort Capt. Willard in his
Affections upon the death Of his first
child. And while on this visit, Mr.. and
Mrs. Olds suffered the loss Of their own
little one, which makes the third time
grim visaged death has visited the house
of Capt. Willard in the space of two
weeks. Little Reuben was laid to rest
on Sunday in the Catholic cemetery.
Mr.. and Mrs. Odds have the sympathy
Of many kind hearted friends in their
afiliction, but the earnest sympathy of a
world would not drive the feeling OF
despair from their aching hearts. Pho
neer, Sth.
The bereayed families have the sym
pathy Of their many Custer friends who
were first appraised of their loss last
Monday by telephone.

Bonded.

A. q. McShane, who arrived in Custer
Wednesday 10 enc OF the many ex-
pcrienced mining operators Of the Hills,
who has faith in the properties Of the
Southern Hills. He IL one Of the Dead
wood parties instrun entail in interesting
Iowa capitalists in the Golden Summit
and Blue Lead and has himself realized
q handsome sum out Of the transaction,
still he does not propose to stop in the
good work, and this visit to Custer was
for the purpose OF getting a bond on
some m Of the many valuable proper
ties in this vicinity, and our readers will
he glad to learn that be has succeeded.
On Thursday he bonded the North Pole
mine, located Z miles west Of Custer in
the Eldorado district, and owned by
Messrs. Flynn, Russell. j. G. Henault and
Michaud, for $4,000, the bond expiring
In four months. The bond is made to
McShsne, and Messrs. Weynerd and
Bull, the capitalists from Ceder Rapids,
Iowa, and calls for the immediate ex-
penditure Of $1,000 in development
work. Work on the mine will begin
Monday and a 100 foot shaft sunk and
the vein cross-cut at that depth.
The ore carries copper and silver, as
says in copper running 80 per cent and
there is no doubt but what a sale will
be effected before the expiration of the
bond.

The Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1877-1885, 1883-01-24

The London Builder says that the
German government has on several oc-
casioils pointed out to farmers and 9TH
ers interested in agriculture that too
great an expenditure of capital on
buildings is a mistake. With view of
illustrating the application of this prin-
eiple of economy to roofing. The Cologne
Gazette points out that the system of
using tar for roofing purposes is at the
same time economical and suitable for
agricultural buildings. The framework
of the roof can be of relatively slight
construction ON account of the nature of
the covering it is intended to support,
and the perpendicular height of the
roof can be one-eighth to one-tenth of
the entire depth of the building. The
distance of the rafters is arranged ac-
cording to the width of the covering
material, the scale being that from the
middle of one rafter TO the middle of
another, the distance should be q
inches less than the width of tar roofing.
sheets
immediately upon the rafters come
boards, and upon these (exactly in the
center of the separate rafters) are placed
strong 1aths, about inches wide and
Is inches thick, the upper edges being
taken off The roofing sheets are now
placed SO as to cover the spaces between
the laths, and nailed. Over the laths
are placed strips of paper, inches to 6
inches wide, fastened with nails at in
tervals of q inches. -.
In order to make the sheets lie
smoothly upon the boarding it is sug-
gested, in case they are too dry, to soft
en- them by immersion in water 1t is
recommended that the workman should
not wear heavy-nailed boots. and also
that ii the rain comes on. the roof
should not be walked upon immediately
after. When the entire surface of The
roof is covered with sheets, the strips of
paper Tor caps) already named, as well
as the joints, are painted over with a
hot mixture of coal tar and pulverized
lime. Pure, dry sand is at once sprink-
led over this coating, and particular
care must be taken that all the nail
heads are well covered. When the paint
is dry the whole surface of the roof is
once more coated with the same mix
ture. and is sanded.
The object of this careful method of
OVERLAPPING the roof with several coat
ings of specially prepared solutions is
TO preserve in the tar those oleaginous
and fatty properties which it soon loses
IT exposed TO the air, and the retention
OF which is an indispensable condition
OF its resistance to water. Clay and
sand do not afford sufficient protection,

am. u..ey are removed by violent winds.
Reference is made to various systems
of coating the tar roof with protective
substances, for the purpose indicated.
One of the most successful methods
consists of mixture of cowdung and
thin, lite, lime, which is spread over
the entire surface of the roof. If such
coating is not applied the tar paint
must. during the first four years, be an
nually renewed, which enhances the
cost of the roof Ii the last named pro-
tective composition is used, and renew
ed every two years, the coating of tar
and lime can be dispensed with. Par
ticular mention is, however, made of
coating of tar mixed with Portland ce-
ment, the tar being well heated aud
used in the proportion of Ill pounds to
200 pounds of cement. The mixture
should be kept well stirred during the
preparation, and should be applied as
soon as made. This particular method
has been tried in many cases IN Ger
many, and, according to the journal
quoted from, its satisfactory results
have caused its adoption upon scale
of progressive Importance
