E. w. Nash, Of the Omaha & Grant
smelter Of Omaha, who was q recent
visitor at Deadwood. is very favorably
impressed with the outlook for the
future progress Of the Black Hills. which
he regards as remarkable section,
where apparently one large mass of ore
is cropping out IN every direction. He
says: with local and economic facil-
tiles for its treatment the Black Hills
would soon be in the front rank as q
producer Of the precious metals, gold
and silver. or the former it now holds
third place, and only q fraction of its
ore supply undergoing treatment"

improvement is very encouraging.
There are few, if any men out of en-
ployment who are disposed to work

weeks ago was so provokingly difficult to
capture, is now more numerous and less
difficult to acquire. 1t requires dollars

Denver Mining Industry.
Frank Hickman came in Wednesday
from Warrens Gulch where he has been
for several weeks engaged in sinking a
shaft on his placers, under extremely
adverse circumstances. The progress OF
the work has been delayed by reason Of
having TO await for the arrival Of a
suction pipe for two or three weeks
which was unfortunately lost on the
road from Chicago. Further delay was
experienced by striking quicksand,
through six feet Of which very slow
progress was made. At a depth of "a
feet loose gravel was encountered which
yields five cents TO the pan, and it is
confidently expected that much richer
deposit Of gravel will be encountered at
few feet greater depth. 1t is expected
that the bedrock will be reached in a
few days when the value Of the ground
will be more definitely determined.
Among the arrivals from Alaska to-
day, says the San Francisco Chronicle,
was 4. o. Sylvester, proprietor Of the
Alaska Herald at Sitka, and the Journal
at Juneau. Mr.. Sylvester says that the
far northwestern part Of the continent
seems TO be the only section not affected
by hard times There is, in fact, un-
usual prosperity there, so he says. Al
ready over 300 miners have passed in
via Juneau for the gold mines up the
Yukon, and among them were three or
four women and several children, who
will walk the long distance of 600 miles
The women wore mems trousers, as well
as the ordinary dress, in order TO protect
themselves from the cold. 'Last year
the miners got good deal Of gold, said
Mr.. Sylvester. Il know quite number
who cleaned up from, 5000 to
5000 and $4,000 each. and this has
awakened An increased interest and
caused these women to 60 in and join
their husbands"

II. G.. Mason of Chadron, Neb., sub
mits the gratifying information TO the
Omaha Bee that he is very confident Of
having found another Homestake prop
erty near Lewiston, Fremont county,
Wyoming Two eastern men are in
terested with him in the property and
they have been developing it for the
past two years They have crosscut 100 #
of vein matter which will mill from actual
| test $40 per ton in gold. 1t is vertical
vein and as yet neither wall has been
reached. They have $4,000 tons of ore
of the kind indicated in sight. At diff
ferent times small bodies of ore have
been struck that have milled from S60,-
600 to 500 900 per ton. The property,
Mr.. Mason says, is located right in the
heart of the gold belt adjacent TO the
| famous Burr mine and the owners are
contemplating putting we'll equipped
plant on the ground as soon as it can be
| h auled there, when the further work OF
development will be pushed rapidly for
ward. The find is regarded as insuring
the future of the Lewiston gold belt and
has already had an influence in attract
ing immigration to that quarter. Mr.
Mason says that the only thing needed
now is capital and machinery TO develop
properties that seem TO promise as much
| as that he is interested in.

At 40 feet drift was run to the west,

construction of the B. & NJ. Spearfish
entension, a fine wagon road was built
by the contractors, at an expense Of
S5 ZOO, from and through Carbonate
camp into the CANYON through which
the railroad has been built. The road
can now be utilized for the hauling OF
the ore to the track. The expense need
not exceed a dollar or a dollar and a
half per ton. With such facilities at
hand there is no reason why Carbonate
