LETTER FROM PROF. AUGHEY.

LETTER FROM PROV. AUGHEY.
BY the courtesy Of Messrs. Haserodt
and Harbach. we are permitted to pub
lish the following letter from Prof
SAINT Aughey, who it will be remember
ed visited Custer, and examined many
of our mines last spring, at which time
he became verv much interested in the
ores of this section and predicted for
this camp a prosperous future-when
our ores should become better under
stood. The letter is in reply to one to
to him, accompanied by package of
ores taken from the Globe mine, situat-
ed abont six miles northwest from Gus
ter, near the old Peuobscott mine. The
assay does not show as high as some
that have been received by these gentle
men, but considering the high authority,
and the care and pains that have been
taken in its tres tment, 1t is gratifying
and very satisfactory. The following is
the letter:
HoT SPRINGS, ARKANSAS,
Jan. 2lst, 1892.
HAsERoDr AND HARBAcH.
DEAR SIRs IL enclose TO you assay
receipt on ore that you sent me- have
been long in reporting, but | wished for
my own satisfaction TO experiment on
this ore. The receipt, an average Of
three runs that were close duplicates on
Of the ore that you sent, sampled and
pulverized. From the balance j took
one specimen that run oyer $4,000, but
as that was picked specimen it would
not be fair test
In answer to your question, / am COM
PEELED to say that the process in which
was interested when l visited the
Black Hills last summer would not sue
cessiully treat your ore. The best way
in my Judgment to treat your ores Is by
a modification of the Mears-Adolph
Thier chlorination process. This pro-
cess is fully described in Eissler's Metal
lurgy Of Gold. That is the only work
know Of that brings all the best process
es for the treatment Of gold ores up to
date. The Henry He'll Chemical Com
pany, 2l2 South Fourth street, st. Louis,
can furnish you the work. 1t is written
by an American, but published in Lon
don. You will see by referring 10 that
work, that the Hanch's method for the
treatment Of telluride ores would also
treat your ores, but as your ores are
much simpler than the telluride ores
for which that process was planned, n
simpler method than that would be de-
sirable. A large part of the profit
would come from saving the telurium,
which is row so much in demand for
the manufacture of thermo electric bat
teries.
The bes. authority on tho treatment
of telluride ores by chlorination is Prof.
p. ID. Barnhart. He is stopping here at
the springs at present. He has been
erecting reduction works for gold and
silver for 20 years, and IL erecting a
plant here now. If you submit pro-
position TO him ne can help you out.
will be glad to aid YOU in any way in my
power. Very truly yours,

A BIG MORTGAGE FILED.

BIG MORTGAGE FILED.
A large mortgage covering sixty.four
extra large sized sheets of closely wri-
ten parchment was filed with Register
Of Deeds Lamb on Friday for record.
The mortgage is executed by the Har-
ney Peak Tin Mining company (limited)
OF London, and 10 made TO secure the
payment of one million pounds sterling.
The money secured by this mortgage is
to be used in developing the company's
property in Pennington and Custer
counties. The document is signed by
Lord Therlow and several other titled
gentlemen in the old country. The
recording of this document will keep
one man busy in the registers Office for
a day or two at least.-Rapid Journal.
The Deadwood Times says of the Ad-
die tin mine: 'The Addie mine, one of
the best developed of the large number
owned by the Harvey Peak company, is
proving itself to be veritable bonanza
The shaft is now down $50 feet and
shows strong vein of tin bearing reck,
full six feet between walls, carrying q
high per cent Of the white metal"
According to the Times the f., Z. & NJ.
V. Company is contemplating extending
their narrow gaage line to Galena and
Lead City. Ifthe road is built it will
more successfully open up one of the
richest sections Of mining country in
the Hills.
Science is doing much for reduction
of refractory ores as in all other matters.
We were yesterday informed that with
in sixty days work will be commenced
upon works wherein new process will
be operated which will reduce ores con-
tanning gold and silver for $3.50 per ton,
and guaranty given that 9S per cent Of
tha metal therein saved. Further than
this we can say nothing, at present at
least. Deadwood Times.
A deal pending for some months was
closed on Tuesday, and involved the
n
transfer Of $40 acres Of Hay Creek coal
land to a syndicate, believed to be pur.
chasing for the Burlington railroad
which is now extending its lines from
this city toward the coal fields, thirty
miles distant.
The annual report Of the state inspec.
tor Of mines has just been published
and furnishes some interesting facts and
figures. According to the report ter
mines, controlled by the Homsstaks
company, yielded during 1891 the sun
Of S3,34O,S20. The output from all othe
Black Hills mines during twelve month
ending Dec. 81 last 10 estimated at q, 200,
900, or total from all sources for tn
year of $40, 500, nearly double what
was in 1890.
| A discovery Of gold bearing quart
has been made three miles from Siou,

Out in California they have a new
version OF the rebel brigadier story.

Decentralization.

1t is not over production that ails
our country. 1t is under consumption.
There is much more difference in these
terms than one is liable to recognize
on first sight Over production means
that the producing people have sup
piled all the consumers and have o
surplus on hand. They say the Amer
lean farmer has produced more cotton,
wheat and corn than consumption de-
manded. This Is far from the truth.
The American farmer West has had
left on his hands what near-sighted
politicians declared to be surplus of
corn and wheat and the farmer. South,
had like surplus OF cotton. On the
very day the Kansas farmers burned
their corn for fuel the Eastern pau
pers were crying for bread. The
very day the Southern farmers sold
their surplus cotton at price below
the cost of production thousands OF
homeless children we're shivering In
tatters and rags Then was IL over
production Not one bit 1t was UNI
der-consumption, caused by inability
to purchase. Would the wretched
condition be removed If the farmer
would cut down his productionP
Would that put bread In the mouths
OF the millions of children which to-
day go begging on our streetsP Would
a decrease in the production OF cotton
put single garment upon their backs?
No. 1t would throw thousands out OF
employment and cause them to join
the ranks of the hungry tramps Then
is it not time these guardians Of our
couDtry's welfare were presenting
plan OF relief that will bear inspec-
tionp
The only thing we need Is a stimu-
lent for our ability to purchase. Give
those poor starving creatures the abili-
~ to purchase and we will have no
cover production. Put more money
into circulation and it stimulates all
trade. making consumers OF those who
otherwise could not consume. The

The spirit OF sycophancy is becom-
Ing more and more prevalent in these
United States and threatens to drag
the average American down to the
level OF the British lickspittle who con-
siders it an honor to have his coat tail

This train Of thought suggests itself
whenever we hear that some bigwig or
his kid has been made the recipient OF

Does 1t Benefit Youq

1t IS very remarkable that policy
which is in the interest OF and for the
promotion OF the welfare of millionaire
exploiters only should be countenanced
and encouraged, aided and abbetted
and supported and pressed by people
not of that class, and as much OPP
pressed and damaged as the producers
and laborers. Who is benefited by
the volume of currency being so small
that II cents has to perform the work
of 100 cents? Does it do you any
good, Mr. Readerp If so, howp II
there was a sufficient volume of money
to do the business of the country, the
general prosperity that would be
caused, would help you and advance
your interests just as much as the
farmers. The farmer wants every
other class to have more money and
more prosperity so that his products
will have more buyers and consumers,
and there will be more money to pay
for them There are sufficient con-
sumers, but there is no prosperity
among them. They possess no
thrift and are short of cash, because
there is so little money to do the bust
ness of the country. Make these pros
ferrous and the farmer would become
prosperous. Make the farmer more
prosperous and these would have
more chances and opportunities for
prosperity as well. If there were five
times as much money there would be
five times as much chance to get it.
This is true OF all the people. Then
why should people in towns and
cities be opposed to policy that
would benefit them as much as it
would the farmersP Simply because
they have never investigated the
questions and they have taken their
opinions from others who have reflect
ed he prejudlces or purposes Of the

There is every reason TO believe
that it was done intelligently and with
deliberate purpose to strengthen Re-

place the tariff was ignored to avoid

age-to II years correction"
In what time do we liveP asks the
'Pere Peinard.
Because the family was poor, Amelia
has taken the faggot. That meant;
because Amelia is poor she must go to
prison!

the continual robbery OF the workers
by the rich thieves And because we
let them rob us, they (the robbers)
send US to jail.
