Mining Items.

The Retriever Mining company, of
Ruby Basin, recently declared dividend
No. 3, of 3 cents per share upon the

August lst. The aggregate amount of
the dividend is 81 800.

the direction of Mr.. OImsted, who con-

steam pump was procured, which was
being operated yesterday. 1t is hoped
the supply Of water will be sufficient to
run the mill to its full capacity, twenty

utilized until more water has been OBJ
tanned by sinking the we'll to a greater

DANsBY PLAcERs.

Probably the most productive placer
mines in the Hills to-day are found
eight miles west of this place at what is
known as the Dansby camp. We visited
this camp on Saturday with a view to
witnessing the weekly clean up of Mr.
Poe's claim, which has run from S. to
SIS per day per man since he began
sluicing in the early spring. We were
disappointed in the matter Of witnessing
this clean up. by reason Of not arriving
on the ground in time, but we were just
in time to see clean up by Mr.. Nc
Bride and son, which resulted satisfac-
torily to them, and was very gratifying
TO the party accompanying us. among
whom were FIVE ladies, who had never
before witnessed such proceeding, and
to whom the operation was very inter-
esting. Several handsome nuggets were
found which invariably figure in the
clean ups at this camp. The gold at
Dansby is not found by adhering to any
rule, or the observance Of any particular
surface indication by the miner in his
scare ch, and the most unskilled tender
foot may be said to have equal chances
with the experienced miner in the race
for success. 1t has long been mooted
question as to where the gold at Dansby
| came from, and much time has been
devoted to the search for the rich lodes
which were supposed to exist in that
locality, but without success. 1t is now
believed that the source of these de-
posits is the large bodies of cement
gravel recently discovered near there
by Mr.. Poe, which, while they have not
yet been developed to any material ex-
tent. are known to carry large percent
age of gold. Mr.. Poe will turn his at
tention to the development of this body
of cement, and will SO continue until lie
has fully determined its value. Scarcity
Of water alone prevents larger output
of gold at Dansby than has ever been
taken from any Of the Black Hills
placers, not excepting the famous Dead
wood guich. 1t is believed that water
could be brought to Dansby from Bull
Springs by means ola ditch Of several
miles in length, which, while 1t would
be quite expensive. would doubtless
prove profitable enterprise, and We be.
lieye it to be only question of time
when the enterprise will be accomplish.

The circles, which are much like those
left by a circus performance, are COM

These circles have been there since the
