The Harvey Peak Tin Co.

DR.. Albert r. Dedoux Of New York,
receiver of the property of the above
company, accompanied by his local
representative, w. O. Temple of Rapid
City, arrived here Sunday evening from
Hill City where the mines and works Of
the company are situated and of which
the doctor made a cursory brief exami
nation. He was unable to examine the
mines owing to the amount Of water in
the workings. Looking over the dumps,
however, he was favorable impressed
with the appearance Of the rock which
is identical in that respect to the mine
product of British Guinea, North Ca
rolina and other tin districts of the
world where tin is profitably produced.
The main question TO be decided in re-
gard TO the Harvey Peak ore is, does it
contain sufficient metal to pay for its
reduction? This can only be determin-
ed by practical mill test. An erroneous
impression has gone abroad in regard 10
the power and authority of DR.. Ledoux
as receiver. In conversation Monday
morning he Informed the Times that he
was simply custodian or care taker of
the property, pending the settlement of
litigation between the English and
American stockholders, which will prob
ably require a year or more TO dispose
OF. In the mean time the receiver will
see that the property is cared for. lin
his opinion ii becomes necessary or ad-
v~antageous to operate the mines and
mills, he will present such views to the
cour for its sanction and approval. The
doctor says the formation around flar-
ney Peak is such as to warrant the be-
lief that tin in paying quantities exists
in it, both in horizontal and vertical
veins. DR.. LedouX is the most promi-
nent tin expert in America and ranks
equal TO the best of those in Europe.
Naturally the favorable impression
formed by him after such a brief visit
to the property would indicate esump.
ton OF operations under his direction.
Re will return here in the near future
and make "A thorough examination of
the mines, his present visit being MAIN
ly to see in what condition the property
is In and the measures taken by his
local representative, w. O. Temple. for
its care. In this respect he found every
thing Observation-Disclosures Times ).

Opening a watch case with a knife OF

Keystone Watch Case Company, OF
Philadelphia, Pa, furnishes free a hand
some watch case opener which makes,
besides, n pretty charm for the watch
chain. If you can't get n from your
jeweler. send to Philadelphia. This
company is the largest Of its kind in the
world, and makes all kinds of cases. Its
specially is the Boss filed case. JAS
Boss invented and made the first filled
case in 1859, and many of the cases then
made and worn since are still intact
Later the Boss patents passed into tn,
hands Of the Keystone Company, which
has the sole right to make these cases
1t has also the sole right to use on its
cases the patent Non pull-out bow OF
ring, which prevents loss of the watch
by theft or injury to it by accident. The
Keystone Company does not retail, but
all jewellers sell the Boss and other Key,
stone cases.
