Mining Itema.

Chas Baty and Friend Meeker will
leave town to morrow morning with
complete miners outfit for the Newark
gold mine, which they propose to thor
oughly develop without unnecessary
delay. The ore body is seventeen feet
wide, and numerous tests give ample
warrant of successful results.
The late clean up of the custom mill
at Keystone, made after a continuous
run Of several days upon the ores of the
Bismarck mine. is said to have aggre-
gated about s2,l0O, or 81 per ton. which
left handsome margin of profit after
all expenses were paid, and settles con
clusively the question as to the excep-
tionable value Of the mine.
We learn that it is the intention of
Messrs. Haserodt and IIarbach, owners
Of the Globe gold lode. situated few
miles west of this city, to commence
shipping the ores of that valuable mine
TO some outside point for reduction in
the early future. There is no question
as to tie excellent quality of the ores of
this mine, or of the permanence of the
vein, hence there can be no doubt as to
the profitable and permanent character
of the enterprise.
Two cars are being loaded at Berne,
the first station on the B. 4 VI. north OF
this city, with gold ores from the Park
lode, located en- the Penobscot belt west
of this place. which will be shipped the
latter part of next week to the Lead
wood cyanide plant for reduction.
| Thorough tests Of the ore Of this mine
would seem to warrant the hope enter
tanned by the owners of the mine that a
fair margin Of profit may be realized
from its reduction.
The first car of ore from the May
Flower gold mine near this place, was
shipped by Mr. F.. A. Holyoke to Kan
sas City for reduction on Tuesday, upon
which Was conspicuously emblazoned
the pleasing legend, Gold Ore from
Custer, South Dakota" Much conf
dence il entertained in the result Of the
shipment, which. if correctly based, will
be followed by the erection of reduc.
tion plant in this city in the gorgeously
gilded, and handy hence.
The Standby mill is now owned by
Rapid CITY parties, and will be fixed up
and SET to work. The mention of this
mill recalls the time that the machinery
was shipped up the Missouri river by
Col. II. L. Akin, who engaged Fred
Evans to transport it to its destination.
The bill of $1,000 for this work is still
owing to Col. Akin. Several years ago
a Mr.. Chapman purchased this proper
" by virtue Off tax title, paying 81. 500
for the property. At present there is
an old mortgage on the property amount
ing to $4,000 Pioneer.
The Deadwood Times of last Thurs
day says: A. J. Stoddard, representing
the Bradley Pulver,zcr company, OF
Boston, manufacturers of the Griffin
quartz mill. arrived yesterday from the
Orc Blanca mining district in Arizona,
aud went down to Rockford to superin-
tend the final details of the Montexuma
mill and put it in successful operation.
He expects the mill to be ready for
operation in about two weeks. The
Moutezuma shows large body Of free
milling ore, that averages $l2 per ton
and is fine proposition. Mr.. Stoddard
says he has made tests of the ore and
assures us that the Griffin mill will trea,
1t satisfactorily.
LUCKY cUss.
From late reports from the above
named mining property each one Of the
owners Of the same can be considered q
lucky cuss. As development work pro-
crosses the ore has been gaining In rich
ness. Tests Of the ore made at the
school Of mines and by several different
well known assayers 40 we'll as numer-
ous pan tests prove the ore now exposed
to be exceedingly rich 1t is only q
question Of q short time until mill will
be erected upon the property, thus ad-
ding another bullion producer to the
growing list Of the Southern Hills
Journal.
