No mine in Montana 10 attracting more

and all are hoping that she will dsvelep
favorably, AZ indications promise now.
At 472 feet in tho shaft, where tho CROSS
cut was commenced, the miners were
driven out last Saturday by water, and
until the new Knowles pump was put to
work Sunday morning no further under

The new shaft being sunk by the Bi-

about two hundred feet from the hoist.
A force Of men are employed now in sink
ing this shaft, and it is of course the
opinion OF the Bi-Metal]ic people that
they will catch the much -looksd-for veln
when sufficient depth has been attained.
1t now transplres that the long-looked-
for lead has been struck in the Elizabeth:
At tho $50 level a orosscut was run south
for the purpose Of encountering the lead
which every ybody who knows anything
about the district felt convinced was
there. It. is said that the vein which
was struck during the last week, has
fine appearance and has every indication
OF being rich, though nothing definite az
to its assay value can be ascertaiaed, a.
the officials of the company at this end
are rsticent and will divulgs nethinR.
The strike, however, has leaked out,
Notwithstanding the great care exercised
to keep it quiet. OF course further dc.
velopment will be required to determine
whether the vein is the bonanza expected
and also If it is large enough to be profit
able to work, although from what little
intelligence can be cleaned, the orc body
is three feet in width, whick it not an
exaggeratlon is pretty good itself, admit

held az prisoners, had escaped and were
heading for the Bad Lands. At daylight
Gen. Carr and six troops pulled out

friendlies is greatly exaggerated, and
that they did not number over $50 in

tepees outside of Pine Ridge agency,
where q number Of backs were congre-
gated, and that the squaws were

number having Springfield carbines (the

They also told him Of q young Indian

try and induce them to return to the
agency. He says he knows this to be
true ~ the young Indian left Pine
Ridge over week ago for the Bad

turned. He also says he entertains
great fears as to the 136 friendlies who
went out, as he 10 almost sure that the
majority If not all Of them will be
killed. He says that they have an i'm
mense stock Of provisions and their
stronghold is skilfuAy fortified and is

is in Rapid City, said Saturday that he
was afraid Of fooling with these Indi-
ans and thought that the best thing to
be done was to attack them without

i. q. Dun s TO. Report q Good Volume
of Business for the Week.
New YORK, Dec. 29.R. G. Dun q
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
The holiday trade was remarkably
heavy here, and nearly all other points
good, which is Ly no means evidence
that the tlghtness Of the money market
springs from any general embarrass-
nent Of business or industry. The vol
ume of payments through banks contln-
ues large. though but about per cent.
larger than year ago. Foreign trade

crease
No I'm aortan. Changes.
Reports from other cities disclose no
important change in the condition Of
trade. Wholesale business naturally
slackens and is quiet at this point in the
year and the indisposition to act is
rather increased by the tardiness of COL
lections. At Boston prospects are con-
sidered better for trade in WOODEN and
cotton goods and some large lots Of
wool have been sold without change in
prices. The demand for leath- r is fair.
Conditions at other Eastern cities have
not been essentially different, though at
Pittsburg Bessemer iron is sold at$l6.25,
the fowes price for the year, and all pig
iron is at bottom prices. Manufactured
iron is in fair demand, rails unchanged.
Western Points Antis pate Improvements.
At points further West an expectation
Of Improvement after Jan. is general.
At Kansas City wholesale trade is quite
good, but cattle and hog receipts are
light. At Lincoln, Neb. business ex-
ceeds that OF last year. At Denver the
demand for money is lighter, but at
Salt Lake the money market is exceed
inxlv close and She outlook unsatisfao-
tory. At other points i'll the monetary
situation seems rather better.
South IN Trade Picking Up.
Reports from the South also indicate
some improvement. Manufacturers ae
Louisville are fully employed although
money is very close. Trade at Atlanta
improves: at Galveston cotton receipts
exceed last years. New Orleans reports
fair trade, larger receipts Of cotton: the
crop bein. tho animated at I 100 GOO
bales. Throughout the South the fc-
titious prices maintained last summer
and fall for cotton have caused soma
embarrassment, being followed by the
inevitable decline as the magnitude OF
the crops became known. While tho
situation Of the iron and steel industry
shows no Improvement, the fact that tho
closing weeks Of the year are passing
without any serious setback gives ell.
couragement. On the whole labor has
never been more fully employed than in
the year 1890.
