Joy Among the Jobbers.

BURLINGTON, Ia, March 24.-ISpecial to
THE BEE The iobbing merchants in the
river towns in this state are just now hugely
enjoying the operation of the tariff promul-
gated Dy the Iowa railroad commissioners.
The rates thus made within this state are so
low that the sum of the two locals on ship
ments from points without the state, is less
than the through rate between similar given
points. The effect Of this feature of the tar
in, which is something new in the construc-
tion of rate sheet, is to shut out large
portion Of the competition of Chicago. The
river jobbing points have the direct advan-
tage, being able 10 lay in their goods from
seaboard or eastern manufacturing points on
freights which allow them TO meet and even
undersell Chicago and olher eastern jobbing
centers For instance, the rate on first
class from New York 10 Burlington direct Is
94l3 cents, while the rate on the same goods,
rebilled at Chicago by the jobber of that
point, is SIZE; the rate from New York 10
Ottumwa, Ia. via the Burlington jobber, is
Sll4, while via Chicago IL is Sl33. The
interstate rates covering direct shipment
from New York TO OttumwG, say, are so
much higher than the sum of the rate from
New York 10 Burlington, plus the rate from

citizens to build a house costing not less than
$4,000. Rev. Hooker, Postmaster Davis,

terms of the project. The board meet again
Mondaynlght to consider further proposi-

RAPID CRY, Oak, March 24-lSpecial
Correspondence of THE BEE. 1.-THE Lookout
mine, which is situated in Pennington
county, about thirty-tive miles west of Rapid
City, is again attracting considerable attep-
ton. Hon. M, H. Day, of Rapid City, is
deeply interested in its development, and
during the last summer associated with him
in his Lookout mining enterprise some east
ern capitalists, among whom was ex-Gover-
nor Hale, Of New Hampshire 1t is not in
the Lookout mine proper that these gentle-
men have obtained the body Of free milling
ore which is expected to prove n bonanza,
but in the Spread Eagle, which adioins the
Lookout In the latter there is said, by ex-
perts who have examined it, to oe a body
of free milling gold ore of as great
extent, and probably bisner grade, than
the celebrated Homestake mine at Lead
City. At present, however, although the
Spread Eagle orss are sufficiently developed
to show their extent and quality, the conven-
fences for transporting the ore TO the forty
stamp mills owned by the Lookout company
and situated about quarter oil mile from
the mne are small. 1t is proposed to run q
undred foot tunnel through the mountain
which stands between the mill and the
| Spread Eagle, and on its completion, there is
| little or no doubt that great mining camp
will be established.
In the vicinity of the properties of NJ H.
Day and his associates, are other mineral
| claims which have long been known to be
| rich in gold ores, but which, owing to the
| lack of capital to work them, have lain idle.
| The Minnesota mine is one Of these. 1t has
| lately fallen into the hands of Mr. Houllhan,
of-Aberdecn, OAK, and several eastern capi-
| talisJs. Arrangements are being made to
| put up fifty stamp mill on this property
| during the summer The Montana mine is
| another location which contains an un-
| doubted body of free milling ore. This has
been bonded by Mr.. Day, and the work of
| developing which has been going on dur
| ing the winter has shown an improving
| grade of ores.
| Throughout the Black Hills the condition
| of business is improving. In Rapid City
there is great activity in building matters,
| and it IS estimated that over Sl2S, 100 worth
| of buildings have been commenced in the

here are expecting large influx of people

bringing large numbers of land seekers every

A Denosit of silica,

NEWMAN GROVE, Neb. March 24.-[Special
to THE BEE. l-On the brow of a hill on the
Matt HendricKson farm, situated four miles
northwest of Newman Grove, there has been
deposit of fine white mineral which the res
idents of that vicinity had always supposed
to be lime, the farmers coming for
miles to secure it for plasteriug and masonry
work. MIR. G. G. Dimock Of this city, be-
lieving that the deposit was more than a
simple lime deposit, expressed his opinion to
two other parties, and they, securing some
of the mineral, sent it to an assayer in
Omaha, who reported that the mineral was
silica. Yesterday Messrs. G. c. Dimock,
Thomas Oslergard and Mr.. George M.
Cooper, of Omaha, purchased the farm of
Matt Heudrickson, and if their hopes are
realized, will develop the deposit of large
scale.
Silica is used in compounding dynamite,
glass, meerschaum, celluloid, tripoli and fire
clay. 1t is non conductor of both heat and
electricity, and is used altogether in the fill
ing of fire proof safes. The analysis shows
II per cent of aluminium, which alone makes
il very valuable. IL can be perfectly petri-
fed, and is used extensively in the manu-
facture of artificial stone and fire proof
brick. 1t Is claimed that this deposit will
make cement equal to the famous imported
Portland English cement.

thought the theater was on fire. No one was
seriously hurt. The damage is not known,

PACKING HOUSE STATISTICS.
Iowa'a Arguments in Support of the
Claim for Better Rates.
A MASS OF FACTS AND FIGURES
The Answer to Chicago Filed With
the Interstate Commission
Farmers Fighting the
Twine Trust.
The War for Better Rates.

DEs MONIES, Ia, March 24--lSpecial to
THE BEE. Mr.. A. b. Cummins, of this
city, the attorney who represents the Iowa
pork parkers, is now in Washington filing
with the Interstate commerce commission
their answer to the Chicago packers He
discusses at great length and with very
careful examination of the facts the reasons
why the Iowa packers should have a better
rate for shipping the packed product than Is
given for shipping the live hogs. He repre-
sents packing houses at Des Moines, Sioux
City. Fort Dodge, Atlantic, Marshalltown,
Ottumwa, Cedar Rapids, Dubuque and
Keokuk. The aggregate daily capacity Of
these Iowa houses is more than 5000 hogs.
During last year they packed about a million
hogs. They reply through Mr.. Cummins to
the several charges of the Chicago packers,
as the Iowa reason why lower rate should
be given to the dressed meats than to the
live products, as follows:
l. The risk attending the transportation of
live hogs is much greater than that of the
product.
Q. The average weight of live hogs carried
in car is not more than 10000 pounds,
while the average weight Of the product is
not less than &c, 900 ponnds.
. 3. The care and attention that must be
given to train load of live hogs, as COM
pared with that given to train load of the
packed product, greatly increases the cost of
transporting the former.
4. The free carriage to and from the place
OF shipment of a large number OF persons
accompanying live hogs adds enormously to
the cost of service.
5. The necessity of continuous and rapid
transit in the case Of live hogs renders the
service more expensive than that of carrying
the packed product.
The Iowa packers in their argument urge
this point that the tonnage of the transporta-
tion companies west of Chicago is greatly in
creased by the establishment Of packing
houses where they are now in operation
They take for illustration the house of T. NJ
Sinclair & Co., at Cedar Rapids, which is
one of the largest packing houses in Iowa, as
follows:
During 1883, live hogs received by rail-
62,322, $50 pounds. This represents the total
tonnage that would have been carried by the
railroads if the hogs had been taken to Chi
cago. On the other hand, slaughtering them
at Cedar Rapids gave rise to the following
tonnage:
The railroads carried to the
packing house salt, green
meats, coal, cooperage, lum-
ber, wood, stone, packages,
brick, saltpetre and sun
