Prof. Blake, the expert sent out by the
Harvey Peak company to examine their
tin properties IN tho Southern Hills in
1885, in quite an exhaustive letter to the
London Industrial News, says:
Having spent from three to four
months in the Black Hills for the pur-
pose Of becoming thoroughly familiar
with it, I am prepared to state that the
discovery is far-reaching in its import
ance to the United States, and that the
field offers an opportunity for the use Of
capital on an extended scale with the
promise Of liberal returns for It's use.
Inasmuch as the richest ore had not
been. discovered and but small amount
Of now known rich ground had been pros
ipected, the words OF Prof. Blake are in
every sanse doubly true.
From the Chicago journal OF Com
merce we take the following:
The first carload OF tin concentrates
from the Black Hills has already arrived
in Chicago, and is being run into bars.
In a few days it wills be put upon the
Chicago market. This is the first Ameri-
can tin that has ever been placed on this
market. It is the beginning Of a bust
ness that amounts to more than .$20, 000-
000 per annum.
The Buckthorn tin property has in
sight very rich body Of ore. This
claim, if present indications amount to
anything, is one Of the richest in group
of nine, lying near tho Tin Reef group.
