Tin Concentrates for Shipment.

Twenty-Five tons Of tin concentrates
10 the result of the short and interrupted
runs made by the recently constructed
mill of the Harney Peak Tin company
during the past few weeks. The con-
centrates are now being dried, and when
that process is completed they will be
shipped east, and soon after that Ameri-
can tin will be on the market. 1t 10 q
satisfaction to know that the millions Of
dollars expended. and the courageous
efforts exsrted to bring this industry
into existence, are to be rewarded at
last; that the long, weary years Of wait
ing are over, and that the mouths of
the trxducsrs OF the Southern Hills are
to be closed forever BY this unmistaka-
BILE proof Of the existence Of Black Hills
tin.
From the Hill City Tin Miner we OBJ
tain the following statement of facts
concerning the value Of the concentrates,
and the company's plans for the future
During the time the tin mill has been
in process OF preparation for business
for the past six weeks, through all the
fuss OF continual stopping and starting,
running sometimes one set OF jigs some
times more, there have been produced
twenty-five tons OF concentrates. Il is
said unoilicially that these concentrates
contain sufficient gold to pay the cost Of
milling the ore, but at any rate these
concentrates are 75 per cent metallic tin
and there is sufficient gold contained In
them, without any shadow OF doubt, TO
bring the,r value up 10 that Of metallic
tin which Is at present 22 cents per
pound and also pay for smelling. These
twenty-five tons are therefore worth
81 900. This much for a starter. This
first result will be shipped when it is
dried A drying floor will be built
Immediately, where the concentrates
will be dried as fast AZ produced. The
mill il now in condition for business
all the machinery has been in motion
several days and working beautifully
regular shipments will be made in future.
The ore being run is from several differ
ent mines and different grades. Two
carloads were brought from Tenderfoot
last week which was more than 30 per
cent cassiterite. Some Of that from
other mines will run as low as two per
cent. but the bulk of the ore run will be
three per cent at low average. This
quality Of ore running through the mill
at the rate of 250 tons daily will pro-
a:ca 80 income ofss99 goo Pc. 5ay, which
will pay expenses and a handsome
dividend on the investment. Cut these
figures down one half and still margin
is left for profit"

Born,


On Thursday, Jan. IL, 1893, to Mr..
and Mrs. James Ulton, a daughter.
Henry Otto, an old resident Of Custer,
and about seventy-four years Of age,
was the victim, either OF "
assault or a serious accident sab-
bath. Otto lives alone in q cabin ON
Harney street, and Sunday morning
about 10 o'clock he was noticed coming
away from his home, with no hat on,
aud the blood streaming from a bad
bruise on the side of his head. He was
Immediately taken in charge by some
of the citizens and physicion called to
attend to his injuries. The old man
was delirious at the time and unable to
tell how he was hurt, but a few
hours later when he had partially re-
covered, he said he had faint ramem-
brance of a stranger having been about
his cabin early in the morning. Otto
thinks that the man sneaked into the
room where he was, struck him on the
head with some weapon, and then RIB
bed him of few dollars which he had
in his possession. 1t is possible how
ever that he met with some accident,
and was so injured that he cannot re-
member about it. There is no clue to
the assailant, IL assailant there was.

The city council did not pass upon
the water works and electric light pro-
positions at its meeting last Saturday
evening. One member of the board
was not present, and one of Mr.. Fire
stones propositions was not quite ready
for presentation, and it was decided to
postpone consideration of the matter
until the next meeting. 1t is quite
probable that at least one of the propo-
sitions will be accepted. The board will
meet again tonight

An oder very similar TO that which

Of Custer Avenue early last Saturday
evening. The entire nelghborhsod was
secured in an effort to find and quench
the incipient blaze, and the hose was at
tached to the pump on the Albien
corner, but it was a false alarm, and no
fire could be found. Some Of our citi-

but prompt attention TO it preysnted

The Deadwood Pioneer is urging the
removal of the School Of Mines from
Rapid City to Deadwood. and suggests
that Rapid make an effort to secure the
home for the feeble minded that will
probably be established by the legisla-
ture now in session. Rapid City people
are sharp enough to know that "a bird
in the hand is worth two in the bush" !"
and vii never consent to the change
advocated by the Pioneer. The asylum
referred to will be located at Custer.
There is long standing obligation to
that effect. and piggish old Deadwood
needn't think she can beat the Pioneer
city out of it.
