HOT SPRINGS EXTENSION.


The Hot Springs Star of the 18th inst
has the following: Yesterday morn
ing force Of men and teams, belonging
to fitzpatrick Bros. grading outfit, began
work on the Minnekahta end of the
Hot Springs branch of the B. & NJ. 1t
Is reported from Bradley Flats that
there are one hundred and fifty teams
at work turning up the dirt. The line is
to be completed before August first, and
Fitzpatrick brothers have the push and
energy to carry the contract through. A
corps of engineers arrived yesterday
and went into camp up on Hot Brook.
fney commenced cross sectioning the
line as now located, under the super
vision of Il. j. Robinson, resident en-
gineer. Mr. Ensign's party is camped
above the Sulphur spring, and are locat-
ing the line through the Chautauqua
grounds. Grading on this end will be
commenced at once and the heavy work
pushed through as fast as practicable.
This branch Is to be built in the short
est possible time, in fact, it is the inten-
ton of the company to construct the
twelve miles in less time than twelve
miles of railroad was ever built. The
whole lipe will be covered with men
and teams and the work crowded
through with the utmost rapidity In
side of sixty days the B. & NJ. trains will
be running into Hot Springs"
HAPPY AND HOPEFUL
Hermosa's happy and hopeful char
acter at this juncture is strongly indicat-
ed in the following. which is taken from
the Pilot Of last week Last Saturday
Chief Engineer Ainsworth and Sup't of
Construction Chapman were conveyed
to the gold, silver, and lead mines up
Battle creek, under the guidance Of DIR.
Churchill. They went, they admitted
to look over the feasibility of build
ing a railroad TO the mines. The Doctor
says they seemed greatly pleased with
the mines and expressed the belief that
they were rich. They very care
fully observed the 'lay of the land"
along the route up Battle creek, and in
returning across the divide via Alex
MadilPs ranch to Squaw creek. This
latter route they pronounce the most
practicable and altogether feasible
with an easy grade. They did not state,
the doctor says, that the road would
positively be built at once, but from
their conversation and actions he was
well satisfied that they intended to
make a favorable report regarding it.
Since these prominent railroad Off :ials

pected that other officials anticipate look
| ing over the route and the mines; in
fact General Manager Burt has made ar
rangements to make the trip, aud it is
currently reported that surveyors will be
on the ground next week. Certainly
everything indicates that this important
branch will be built soon, and there is
| little doubt but that it will be extended
to the vicinity of Eta Mine. and possib-
ly on to Hill City. At any rate it is
anite safe to regard the building of this
branch as an assured thing"

INCREASING CoNFIpENCE.

Increasing confidence in the COM
mercial future of the Black Hills is
clearly indicated in the growing desire
for railroad connection with this rich
and progressive region all over the east
ern part of the state. The advantages
to be gained by such connection are thus
portrayed in the following taken from a
late issue Of the Chamberlain Democrat; !;
The one thing of greatest importance
to all the southeastern part Of the state
at the present time is securing an ex-
tension Of railroad communication from
this city to the Black Hills. 1t is pro-
ject in which all the people along the
line Of the Milwaukee road, and south
of il, from Chamberlain to the Iowa line
are equally interested, and for which all
should unite in an earnest and vigorous
effort TO secure. II would solve the fuel
question for both agricultural and manu-
featuring purposes and provide home
market for many OF the products of the
farm which now find their way 10
distant markets, and consequently the
producer is not rewarded as he should
be for his toll. 1t is high time that this
populous section OF the state fully awoke
to the Importance of this enterprise.
Steps have already been taken to ex-
tend roads from other directions to the
Hills which will have certain tendency
to divert this coveted traffic to other
fields, to the detriment of the southeast
ern part of the state, for after the field
west Of the river has once been partially
covered il will be much more difficult
to secure the line that is Of the most i'm
portance to us. All possible pressure
must be brought 10 bear to secure either
the extension of the Milwaukee road, or
an independent enterprise without delay
There can be no particular development
in manufacturing enterprises while the
fuel question Is unsofyed. and the way
10 solve IL is to secure direct communi-
cation by rail gith the coal fields of the
Black Hills. Until that is secured there
will be but little encouragement for
capitalists to put manufacturing plants
in the most populous portion of the
state. A good, strong, united effort Is
all that is needed, and present condi-
tions will not permit of delay.

South Dakota bids fair to be well
watered this year. The heavy rain fall
which is so generally predicted. and the
numerous artesian wells that have been,
and are still being sunk in varions locali
ties throughout the state, of which
Yannton county alone has "a, and Bon
Homme almost as many. would seem to
place the state beyond the danger line, so
far as drouth is concerned. The time is
coming when South Dakota will be
classed among the best watered states Of
the Union, and when drouths within
her borders will have passed into a
reminescence.

FOUR MILE MINES.


Concerning the mmes of Four Mile,
the Deadwood Times Of the 18th inst.
has the following: -Four Mile, now
known as Moss City, is situated four
miles from Custer City. and is the head
quarters Of the South Dakota Milling
and Mining Co., which under the man.
agement and superintendency of Il. b.
Moss, +. r. S. s., has very quietly devel-
oped and purchased large amount OF
both quartz and placer claims. Already
something oyer $4,000 have been ex.
pended, exclusive of machinery. A ten
stamp mill has been erected for sampling
purposes. and has done good service on
the numerous claims vi the comp
any. Well developed and permanent
ledges have been discovered, tie value
of the ore as tested in their mill showing
it to run from 81 to 81 per ton; this is
their free milling ore. In addition to
this, they have large bodies of dry or
silicious ores which assay from $40 Ia
$l00 per ton. Superintendent Moss is
now experimenting with the new Leedy
process for the treatment of this class oil
ores. From tests heretofore made /,

event large plant will be at once erect.
ed for the reduction of what in our opin-
ion is an unlimited quantity of ore. In
the mill, in addition to the stamps, are
three Duncan concentrators which have
proven to be very servicable and well
adapted to the work. For develop
ment work the company use the Sullivan
diamond drills, tie power of which il
delivered from a portable engine and
boiler. A full supply of chemicals, q
complete laboratory and assaying appar.

up one Of the most sd, viccable and com

WASHINGTON, Special, Dec. o.
The probability that republican

eral of Minnesota has started severn,
prominent men OF the state looking
after their prospects.
1t has become generally known
that c. E. Buchanan would he ap-
pointed, but the delay has caused
some to think that there were objec-
tons to his selection, while it has
been solely due to the fact that the
president does not care to 'rcmove
the democrat before the end OF his
term.
E. E. Coriss, OF Fergus Falls, who
was recently here, presented to the
consideration of the senators and
representatives the name OF Jane,
Compton, but as all OF them had en-
dOrsed Mr.. Buchanan for the place
eighteen months ago, they could not
go back on previous pledges. They
agree that Compton would make

him after going on record for Buck
