Southern Hills Tin Industry.

The following extracts taken from ar
excellent letter recently contributed tC
the Mining and Scientific Record by Mr.
A. l.. Sivyer, superintendent of the Tn
Mountain Tin company, now operating
at Warren's Gulch, near this city. is re.
produced for the information 1t CON
tains:
A company was formed in Chicago
last summer and purchased some tin
property at this place. | came and
tested and reported on it; then came
out and put up mill, bought machin-
cry, set ii up and am now running it
the only tin mill running in the United
States. In fact it is the only tin mill in
the country with one exception there
is one other near here belonging to the
Harney Peak Tin Co., but it is not in
operation. Last week | made the first
shipment of tin concentrates to Chicago
TO be smelted. 1t will be the first Ame-
rican tin ever put on the market, and
hope from this time with the small
plant we have we will be able to ship
about two tons per week. AS soon as
fine weather comes we will increase the
plant and make the output much greater,
for we have ore enough in sight to fur
nish hundred tons per day to the
works. Up to the present time the
United States never produced any tin,
although we use more of it than any
other nation, but if all of it had to be
imported, l have no hesitation in
saying there is tin enough in the South
ern Black Hills to supply the whole
country when properly developed. But
ii is new industry to this country, and
we are in about the same condition We
were in Colorado when we found silver
there, we did not know how to treat the
ore to get the silver out. That is the
condition this country has been in for
the past four or five years, but the
problem is being solved now very rapid
y and this year there will no doubt be
quite boom in tin mines and several
mills will be put up for the treatment of
the ore. There are now fully one hun
dred mines within fifteen miles of this
place sufficiently developed TO warrant
putting up a mill on each of them. Most
OF the veins are very large. Some of
them are a hundred feet in width and so
on, down TO mere seams. The country
rock in mostly black granite. In places
it has slate formation and the vein
matter is mostly mica quartz spar and
albite rock. Many of the veins were
worked few years ago for the mica but
very few of them worked profitable, for
as depth was attained the mica kept get
ting smaller until it ran into what they
call mica schist. At that time the
miners did not know tin stone or cas-
sterite when they saw it. Since then
they have found that they were work
ing the mines for the wrong mineral,
and many Of the old mica mines are
now worked for tin.

Railroad rumors, which can not be
traced to reliable source are rife in
this place. There is evidently valid
reason upon which to base the belief OF
well settled intention upon the part
of the Elkhorn, and b. & NJ. companies
to build to this place during the present
year, but to arrive at any definite con
clusion as to when they will commence
to throw dirt, in the face of 80 many
conflicting rumors, is fairly ont of the

Sleeper OF the Track.

T. /. Tibbits, Of this city, vas in the
sleeper that run of the track at Web
ster's switch near Stevens Point Thurs
day morning laat on the Central railroad.
The Stevens Point Journal gave the
following account of it:
The sleeper Milwaukee, attached to
the Ashland train due at Stevens Point
at $40 last Thursday morning, Jumped
the track al Webster, a switch station
about four miles nol ihof his eity. The
train WAS running III moderate rate Of
speed, and the accident occurred at The
switch, but from what cause does not
seem to be known. The Milwaukee
was the rear car, and the balance Of the
train had passed over III salty. The car
was thrown over on lis side, and the
wonder IS that lis occupants were not
more seriously injured, though the fact
that it went off where the ground WAS
covered with saw dust WAS no doubt one
of the reasons for the lucky escapes.
There were nine or ten passengers
aboard, besides The porter. Three or
four of them received slight bruises,
but none was seriously hurt, and all
congratulated themselves on their good
fortune. The passengers were all in
their berths when the car went over,
except Mrs. I. Burns, vino was the only
lady in the car. She was on her way
-
preparing 10 leave the train at this
station, where she stopped TO visit Mrs.
Geo. L. Barrows Ehe body of the
sleeper was torn from the trucks The
train was delayed about forty minutes,
and Of course left the wrecked car by
the side of the road. Ed. Clark was
conductor Of the train, and had left the
sleeper less than 4 minute before it
went over
