DEADWOOD'S DULL SEASON.
But there Is Activity in Mining Matters
and Big Strike Reported.
THE CROPS ARE BETTER
And No Doubt Is Felt That Moody
VIII Get to the
Senate.
THE CROPS ARE BETTER


rienced for a long time. There seems
to be but little movement or activity in
anything: stocks are low and there is
not much doing in the mines, and while
there is good deal of talk about works
being built, nothing has taken definite
shape or form yet. 1t is very common
experience in this country, however,
that our biggest booms and liveliest
times follow in quick succession the
periods of depression.
A number of prominent gentlemen
from this city, went down to Denver to
examine the treatment of ores by the
NeWberry-Vantin process, they have
returned, and without exception they
all pronounced it an unqualified sue
cess. What it will amount to we do not
know.
The first thing after their return, the
directors of the reduction works met,
and levied an assessment of 81 per share
on the stockholders of that company.
This was done for the purpose of re-
building the plant, and of putting in
NeWberry-Vantin works according to
some statements, but others are to the
effect that the directors are
not yet fully decided which
process they will use. 1t is
stated, and fully believed THAT the COM
pany intends rebuilding, but it is pretty
certain that at this date their plans are
not yet definitely formulated. Tom
Whites report on the Newberry-V
process has not been made public yet,
and it is now stated that it will not be
published until after the next meeting
of the directors of the company, perhaps
not then.
A RICH STRIKE
Is reported in the Iron Hill again. Ore
said to average over $1,000 per ton has
not stated, The Gordon city plant is
working successfully, and is now treat
Ing ore from the Harmony mine in Ruby
Basin. That company has obtained a
lease of the plant for three months.
The Uncle Sam mill was shut down
last week, and some of the men have
been discharged. A change is being
made in the Cornish pump, and some
repairing done in the mill. The super
lntendept denies that the closing down
was due to any lack of ore, and states
khatit is the intention to resume opera
lions this week. The stock fell from Is
cents per share to 40 cents in conSe-
luence of the movement.
The DeadWOOd-Terr has ceased op-
erations for few weeks in order to re-
model their mill and to put in more
stamps. When it opens up again there
will be 100 stamps dropping, which will
make it one of the largest stamp mills
In the world.
Work on the new city hall is progress
Ing rapidly, and it is expected to have
The building completed by the 1St of
November. When completed, this will
be
THE FINEST BUILDING
In Deadwood; and the finest, probably,
In Western Dakota. The Knights of
Pythias and Odd Fellows have leased
the third story for five years, and it will
be fitted up to suit them. 1t will be
finished off in fine style, and will afford
them splendid lodge rooms. Next year,
when the Odd Fellows of Dakota hold
their annual meeting here, as they ex-
pect to, they will meet in as fine quar-
tiers as are occupied by any lodge in the
state.
The farmers of this section are greatly
encouraged by the recent rains and are
now building on good average crop.
The hay is short, but the wheat and
other grains will be good yield. Corn
is said to be looking excellent. and if
the rains continue there will be a heavy
crop.
Politically it is quite dull also.
JUDGE MOODY Is ABSENT
In Eastern Dakota, looking after his in
terests and discussing the situa-
ton with the farmers. If the farmers
will only give Judge Moody chance to
talk matters over with them they will
find him as much interested in their be-
half as some of their own jealous
friends at the present time, and fully as
able to assist them. There seems to be
but little, if any, doubt of his election
to the United States senate. He will
have little or no opposition here; local
pride, if nothing else, will give him a
united support from the Hills.
The new legislative and judicial ap-
pointmentS by the convention at Sioux
Falls has increased the offices to such
an extent that there will be difficulty in
getting good material to fill them.
This county will have two senators
and six representatives, one district
and a county Judge. Surely every one
can get Office. But Lawrence county
fees at her disposal. The biggest fight,
If any occurs, will be over the district
judgship, for which there are several
candidates. Among those spoken of for
the position are E. w. Martin, Edwin
Van else, Granville &. Bennett and W.
E. Church.
Among the Democrats who are spoken
of as likely to receive the support of
their party for United States senator
for South Dakota we are glad to notice
the name of Hon. JOHN r. Wilson, of
this city. MI. Wilson is one of Da-
kota's most prominent Democrats and
Is very popular.
