 Thos. Bullard ct al. have deedde the "SS," Mineral King and Benton mines to II. M. Merriwether for S5,GOO
 A deed has been filed for record from l. W. Yocum to the Allen G. Nj. $. x R. Co. for mines ia the Humbug district. the consideration named being S50,000.
 A rich strike was made recently in Marsh's claim. at Minnehaha, and a force of men has been placed at work developing the mine and talk ing out ore.
 An exchange says: Cyanide has had numerous ups and downs in the Black Hills country, but the pro- moters of the process have never faltered Tn their efforts to prove by practice demonstration that It could be made a success in treating the re- fractory low grades in that section. The Black Hills Times, which hif- terly opposed the introduction oi the process, now contains oaly words of praise concerning 1t. Its current issue says that ''the success Of the cyanide mill operated by the Black Hills Gold and Silver Exchange Mining and Milling Company m this city is altogether due to prae- 1 tical management. When the com pany was first formed it was turn | ished with chemical formulas aud directions, which. upon being used and followed, were found to be nearly worthless. The management then secured the services of NIT. Stevenson, a thoroughly eXpe- rienced chemist, who, after months of experimenting, discovered the proper method, as DOW used, at the i works.
