c. w. Hitchcock, agent for Parsons
Dry Separator, received one of the ma
chimes by freight Saturday afternoon,
and it has been on exhibition at his
store during the past week. The ma
chine is apparently simple in design
and construction. A set of fans and
screens are arranged to carry off the
gravel and sand while the gold falls of
its own weight to a steel table. Ex-
perienced miners and prospectors have
carefully examined it, and all seem to be
of the opinion that there is an endless
quantity of dry placer in this locality
which it will treat successfully.

Mining Items.

The Homestske Company is making
a final effort to put out the fire which
has been smoudering for weeks in one
of the slopes of the Deadwood Terra.
The passages leading to the fire have
been bulkheaded and the adjoining
chambers are being flooded. The Dead
wood Terra mill is shut down temporar-
lily.
The Welcome mine, near Deadwood,
has shut down, and Supt. Tbornburn, Of
the chlorination plant at Rapid, where
the ores from the mine have been treat
ed, says that the suspension of opera
tions is due to the ore vein giving out.
K. +. Ankeny, one of the members of
the Welcome company, denies that
there is failure of pay ore, and attri-
, butes the shut down TO bad manage
ment.
DR.. Taylor, of the Black Hills Gold
Recovery company, accompanied by
General Foreman Rossiter Of the Har-
ney Peak Tin Mining company, and
Foreman Brown of the Addie tin mine

late purchase at Blacktail, with Messrs.
Rossiter and Brown, both of whom are

be inaugurated upon the arrival in the
city of Mr.. Childs, which is looked for
about the Goth. Upon his arrival the
location of the company's big reduction
plant will be determined on, and The
establishment of company Offices will
be made. DR. Taylor will remain in the
city and attend to the company's bust
ness. Times.
BLACK HILLS IRON ORES.
The attention OF capitalists is now
being attracted to our iron ores, oi
which large bodies exist in the Roch.
ford and Germania mining districts
On Silver creek in the former district
development work done in search oi
gold and silver showed up on numerous
claims large masses of boulders and de.
posts of iron ore. In one shaft a strata
over thirty feet in thickness was passed
through, a san pie of which can be seer
in the Times cabinet On box Elder
in the Germania district, the same for.
nation and character Of ore is to be
seen in various openings on numerous
claims or locations. The interest now
being manifested is created by the
building Of the ID. & w railroad from
Rapid City into these districts and be
yond. The distance from Rapid to the
points of development mentioned is
about thirty-fve miles northwest and
twenty to twenty-five miles directly
south Of Deadwood, and within a few
miles of the b. & NJ. road This ore has
shown from tests made 10 carry 90 per
cent metallic iron, with but small per
cent. Of sulphur. The advent of capital
into this section will no doubt demon
strate through development work that
valuable and profitable iron mines are
another source of wealth to be added to
the richest mining section of sixty miles
square ever discovered on the face Of
the globe.-Times.

The bench-warrant issued for Sandy"
Gibson last week has not been served
yet and probably will not be. The old
man was last seen several miles north
of Custer making his way toward the
northern Hills, and it is believed that
he has concluded to shake the dust of
this locality from his feet, That being
the case the officers will not be apt to
make strenuous effort to bring him into
court.

j. Il. Cruson, Of Pine Hill ranch, miss
ed one of his horses Saturday morn
ing, and as the animal had never been
known to stray away from home before,
Mr.. Cruson came TO the conclu ion that
it had been stolen. A vigorous search
was instituted and the horse found
several miles east Of town shortly after
neon of the same day. He was making
for home as fast as he could, and as sad
die marks were plainly visible on his
body it is probable that some one had
used him to assist them in getting out
of the country.
