Late reports from the Iron Hill indi
cate discouraging outlook. The stock
is rapidly depreciating in value, and in
poor request. Sales are reported or
Monday as low as 40 cents per share. A
meeting Of the directors Was held or
Monday evening, concerning which the
Times says:
Reports were submitted by the super.
intendent and treasurer, the former
showing 4 necessity for temporarily
shutting down the smelter, and the
latter showing an Indebtedness last
evening of $500 The pay roll to be
met March Is, will call for $4,000, and
the roll April Is $1,000, necessitating
provision to meet total Indebtedness
of $4,000 An assessment, of course,
was by all conceded necessary but a
difference Of opinion as to the amount,
at first appeared, but after careful con-
sideratons it was conceded that an
assessment Of "a cents, or total OF
SlS,750 would be sufficient, and such
amount was levied. The smelter will
not be blown in until at least thirty
days supply Of ore is in the bins"

The Tin Deal.

At no period in Clusters history has
there been so many enterprises depend
ing upon single issue, as are now
awaiting the consummatiOn Of the Har-
ney tin deal. There seems to be no lack
of confidence upon the part of the peo.
pie as TO the final result, but protracted
delay in this direction has engendered
feeling of suspense, which is daily be-
coming more painful and now that the
full limit of time which 1t was supposed
would be required To determine the
result has expired, vague suspicious
further backmaiing influences disturb
the anxious minds of many, which, if
much further prolonged, must eliminate
in open distrust. There can be but little
doubt of the Harney company having
had many serious difficulties to en-
counter, even since the arrival in Lon
don of the heavy ore shipment, which,
notwithstanding its phenomenal rich
ness, has not had the effect of silencing
entirely the potential guns Of the OPP
posing hosts beyond the waves whose
highest interests depend upon the sue
cess Of their efforts in defeating this
enterprise.
The mere announcement of the CON
summation of this deal would have the
effect, when fully confirmed, 6f bringing
a higher degree of prosperity to this
place than has hitherto been enjoyed,
even before stone had been turned, or
a dollar spent by the company in the
way ofthe development of their mines,
or the reduction Of the ores which
would follow in due time, and eventu-
ally result in elevating the pioneer town
to the front rank of the leading mining
cities of America.

Soldiers Home.

Hot Springs is already taking the
preliminary steps toward securing at
that place the location Of the Soldiers
home by the next legislature. 1t is
believed that the location Of the institu-
ton will be designated by the q. A. r.
ut the territorial encampment which
convenes the latter part of this month,
subject to the action of the legislature
which it is fair to suppose will bel n
conformity with their decision. Hot
Springs, by reason of her superior water
advantages, to say nothing of other
desirable features, equalling in every
respect any other point in competition,
should commend itself to the favorable
consideration of the body to whom the
question is to be submitted the pass
age of bill locating the institution at
Hot Springs at the last session of the
legislature, which was vetoed by the
governor, should also have favorable
bearing toward the selection Of that
place, and we earnestly hope that the
efforts of our sister town, in this direc-
ton NAV be crowned with success,

Mr.. Fowler Interviewed.

In response to further inquiries Mr.
II. w. Fowler, general manager of the
Tin Mountain company, states that the
superintendent of the mines at Tin
Mountain, in the Black Hills, reports
good progress considering the trouble
experienced from the freezing of the
water, and its consequent scarcity. Still,
Notwithstanding all the draw backs at
tending the working Of new machinery
they have about 10000 pounds OF
concentrates and hope in the course OF
a month or six weeks to be able to shir
several car loads to the smelling works
Mr. Fowler says they have plenty o.
high grade ore at the mill to work on as
soon as the weather justifies the super
intendent in pushing matters. We
would remark incidentally that this il
the sole and only tin mine developed
and in operation in Dakota BY devel.
opment and operation we mean the ore
actually mined, delivered at the mill
and there made into concentrates ready
for the smelling furnace. The company
Of which Mr.. Fowler is the head il
composed of leading capitalists of Chica-
90. The stock is not on the mark ct for
sale, aud the business of development
will be pushed on as rapidly as possible;
in other words, the company will make
haste slowly" Mr.. Fowler is to be
congratulated at the progress made
under so many difficulties, the principal
of which has been the severe weather
new machinery and lack of water. We
hope to have something further to say
on this subject in the near future
Industrial World.

A Peculiar View.

Unless the Harney Peak company
proposes TO do something upon their
mines this season it would seem strange
| for them TO 90 10 SO much trouble IN
repairing the roads through the Hills
bridging. grading, etc. 1t is believed
that the company proposes to place
some new machinery in the Eta mill,
and test the ore from their numerous
mines therein; then it would seem
probable that they would erect the
largest plant at the best mine. This
seems very plausible theory, as the
company already has an expensive plant
in the Eta mill, and by adding little
more machinery will be in "A position to
satisfactorily test the ore from all their
mines, by hauling it to the Eta. In
fact this seems to be the only reasonable
solution TO the actions of the company
That they contemplate erecting mon
strous mill is generally believed, and
that they will place it in the richest
locality, and at an easily accessible
position can not be doubted. Hence for
these reasons, and with present indi-
cations, we are led to believe that the
Eta mill will be started up before long,
and that thorough test of the ore from
various localities in the Hills will be
made. Pilot, =.
4 more reasonable view Of the situa-
ton would be, that there would be
established series Of tin plants, as near
as might be practicable to the center of
the districts in which they will be
located; and that if any particular plant
-, 30 L., u, - a..
particular one would be erected at or
near the grand center of the districts
collectively. So far as the matter Of the
erection Of a monster plant at any point,
with view to testing the ores from all
the different mines owned by the com
pany is concerned, it can only be re-
garded as being not only extremely
improbable but foolish in the extreme;
since ii is q well known fact, that all the
prominent mines owned by the Harnev
Peak company in the various districts
have been submitted TO the most careful
and thorough tests, and their superior
merits clearly and definitely determined
70 the satisfaction or the company.
While it IL Il fact that the Eta mine is
less distant from Hermosa than any
other owned by the company referred
to, We are by no means sure that the
Pilot speaks from the card when it
desgnates that particular mine as being
the richest in their possession and
while We have the utmost faith in its
merits, we incline TO the belief that its
equal is found in any one of the districts
where the company is interested. We
think it entirely probable that the Eta
will be the first in operation, but that
the ore from all other mines owned bv
the company will be hauled there for
reduction is too ridiculous for serious
consideration.

A New Textile Plant.

Consul Williams, of Rouen, reports
that NJ. j. De Turck, of Lille, man
ager of spinning mills, has brought to
light a textile plant of Chinese origin
which he has called ''exotic flax" 1t is
only about half the price of ordinary
flax, and the finest lace orthe strongest
cord can be made from it, as well as a
great variety of intermediate fabrics
such as tablecloths, napkins, etc.
The material can be spun without
combing, and worked by the ordinary
flax machinery. The refuse fiber re-
sembles cotton. and can be worked in
the same manner. The exotic flax
plant is the 'dolichos catgang" of
Cochin China, called 'dau" in Ton
quin, and bears the dolique or Tonquin
bean. 1t is cultivated on lands near
the rivers or the sea. -Cassell's Maya

Subtle Influences at Work.

Scientists maintain, and generally
succeed in proving, that the germs Of
an epidemic exist in the air which
passes into human lungs. Will sci
ence ever be able to discover the To-
cality and the nature of the germs
that make possible such epidemics as
crimes, railroad wrecks, fires and the
likel 1t is beyond peradventure that
the death dealing railroad wreck as
sumes an epidemic form, and that the
advent of one such is almost certain
to be followed by another even though
the breadth of an ocean lies between
the spots where derailment spreads
death So, too, is it with great fires
that for fuel have human bodies, and
with subterranean explosions that con-
vert coal mines into hecatombs. They
appear in epidemic form oftener than
as isolated cases. There would seem to

what pvspeptics Should Remcmber.

One thing which all dyspeptics
should bear in mind is this without
strong, healthy, wholesome blood in
their veins they cannot be either well
or happy, and it is from the food we eat
that blood is made. About the most
that medicine can do for you is to reg
ulate the bowels and secretions, in
crease the appetite, and supply any
constituent that may be absent from
the blood, such as iron, etc. Over
eating is the most fruitful source of
the dreadful mischief of indigestion.
Young growing people need sub
stantial diet to build up their frames;
hard out door workers require good
and abundant food; middle aged
people who do not work should eat
most sparingly, and of a diet not too
much mixed; the old need still less to
sustain the system. -Cassell's Family
Magazine.

The Neva is the glory of ST. Peters
burg. II is the soul of the city, the
cause of its being and the secret of its
greatness. Every one knows that st.
Petersburg stands on the Neva But
no one who has not lived in the city
can imagine what the Ncva is To st.
Petersburg. Even the Russians them
selves do scant justice to their magniti-
cent river. What the Adriatic is to
Venice, that the Neva is to St Peters
burg. The city is as if built on the
river, and seems almost to float on the
water
One-third of ST. Petersburg is built
upon the islands which lie in the bed
of the Neva, and which are united
with the mainland by several bridges,
opened for an hour or two in the early
morning for the passage of ships.
Ocean going steamers can therefore
steam through the heart of st. Peters
burg, and the sight of these great ships,
anchored opposite the palaces on the
Quai de la Cour, is almost like that of
the tunnels of the steamers amid the fol-
iage of the trees that line the canals at
Rotterdam. Many of the most fash
ionable houses are built along the
canals, and the views of the Fontanlsa
from the bridge between the Anitch-
kotf palace and that of the Grand Duke
Serge is one of the most beautiful city
scenes | have ever beheld-W. 7.

Experiences of the Druggist.

Isuppose there is no one, not even a
physician, who holds life so peculiarly
in his hands as druggist. There is
no prescription brought us that has
not life hanging in the balance-by
our mistake or correct filling. Err
rors by drug clerks are not common,
and if one is made it is heralded
throughout the country. But people
are exceedingly nervous, nevertheless,
especially ladies. They send pre-
scription we have filled sometimes
three or four times to us to know if we
are "sure it is all right" We have
repeatedly to assure them, but often
they refuse to take the doses. They
imagine the "coloring is not just SO,
or the taste is trihc different from
the last. They are difficult to satisfy.

more serious cases, it is only ques-
