ity. too, that no attempt will be made to
open either oil the mines until after all
evidences Of heat and gas are extinct, and
that the utmost ~precaution will be taken
to avoid another breaking out OF the fire

Homestake lBlaek nill.,.

Deadwood Times: The Homestake mine
10 n Of the largest mining enterprises in
the world. From eighty stamps in 1878 it
has developed until now six immense mills
with $50 stamps are operated by huge Cor
liss engines. The running expenses are
mois than 500, 900 q month, and there
are 1,500 men employed. The total re-
seipt for the year ending May l.. 1889,
were 81, l35. 27S; and the total disburse.
ments for the same period were $1,114,.
655. There was paid for labor alone
$447 ,657, and for timber and wood $144,-
407. The total number Of tons OF ore
reduced was 285, ia, and the value OF the
product therefrom was $97O, O23-the
product Of gold being about
$3.50 per ton OF ore. The result has been
gratifying, 80 far az the quantity Of ore un.
covered is concerned; and the Indications
are that the coming year will show a
greatly increased product. There is ore
enough in sight to keep the mills in full
operation for four years to come. A line
OF narrow-guage railroad ! uns some twenty.
five miles into the timber region to supply
the works with timber and fuel.
There are six other mills, which increase
the number OF stamps to nearly q thousand.
The Caledonia mill produced last year
nearly $500, 900 in gold. The annual Weld
OF these six mills aggregate nearly $4,000
900, and the total yield OF theentire region
including gulch and placer mining, is nearly

chasing the property the st. Louis men
sent out two experts to examine it. and it
was on the report Of the two rock sharps
that the deal was consumuaated. Among
other things the experts estimated that
there were 100000 tons OF ore in sight,
McKitrIck could have made about SIS, 600

st. Louis men had promised to take it at
$4,000, but their word was worth $1s,.

A Fourteen Dollar Horse causes Consider
able Trouble and Much Expense.
Several weeks ago Edward Sloan pur-
chased a sort OF skeleton horse OF Boucher
d Dssariers, the liverymen on Mercury
street. The price agreed upon for the de-
scendant Of Rarus was the modest sum of
$14. The attenuated appearance of the
hungry looking equine suggests that the
seller made about seven dollars profit out
of the transaction. Wednesday afternoon,
John, o son OF Edward Sloan, topped
Pegasus out In q set OF harness, attached
him to an old sleigh that ratified like an.
preaching dissolution and started to speed
him on Mercury boulevard. While passing
the livery stable OF Boucher & Desariers,
one OF the proprietors rushed out, siezed
the horse, dunn ed the boy out Of the sleigh
and drove the outfit into the stable.
Sloan, upon learning Of this act, proceeded
to get out q writ OF replevin. Before it
could issue, the law required him to make
q demand for the horse and cutter. Ac.
companied by his son Sloan went to the
stables and made the demand. Boucher
refused to surrender possession, |
and when Sloan PERSISTED.
called upon Officer Leland to place Sloan |
and his son under arrest. The officer took |
them In charge and conducted the father
and son to Justice Eddy'sofice. The court,
finding that Leland had no warrant upon
which to hold the prisoners, declined to |
touch the case. Leland found himself in |
the position Of the embarrassed man who |
drew the elephant, but finally unloaded his
prisoners upon Sheriff Lloyd. Sloan gave
bonds for the appearance OF himself and
son, and leaving the court house, consulted
. lawsr. Yesterday the prisoners were
taken before Judge Mediation and released
on q writ OF habeas corpus. In passing
upon the case the court held that the Of
had NO occasion to arrest Sloan with.
out q warrant. The proper method for
the officer to have pursued, in view OF the
statement that he had not seen any crime
would have been to have re.
quired plaintiff to file an information
against defendant and place it in his hands
20 serve. Holding that the arrest was
Illegal, Judge Mediation discharged the
prisoners.
