Republicans Triumphant.

The elections in twelve states and
one territory, (Utah) on Tuesday, re-
suited in a great triumph for the re-
publicans greatly in excess of their
most sanguine expectations. Republi-
can sentiment is evidently in the air,
and is being largely imbibed by the
masses in nearly all sections. New
York, claimed by the democrats, has
gone republican by 10000, while the
Tamsny combination carry the city by
a small majority. The legislature is
conceded to be republican on joint bal
lot. insuring the election of a republican
senator to succeed Hill.
In Ohio, the eneire republican state
ticket is elected by more than $4,000
majority. The legislature is republican
on joint ballot, which insurss the de-
feat of Brice for the senate.
New Jersey is claimed by the repub-
licans by 10000 majority.
Kentucky is SO close as to be in
doubt as to result. The returns, so far
as reported. indicate immense republic
can gains, and the republicans claim the
state by 10000.
Kansas has rolled up her old time
republican majority, and the pops are
no longer notably in evidence.
Iowa elects the entire republican state
ticket by from 10000 to $4,000 majori
ty.
Nebraska has gone republican by q
small majority. In Omaha, where there
was very spirited contest. the repub-
licans were highly successful.
Pennsylvania gave . republican ma
jority of l50,OOO.
Utah is reported in the republican col
umn. Colorado has swung safely into
republican line, and Massachusetts, still
maintains the true poise Of her political
head.
Illinois and Michigan are both largely
republican, Maryland is in doubt, and
Mississippi--well, il is very probably
that this state has gone democratic.
In the irst commissioner district of
Lawrence county, Fish the republican
candidate, was elected by majority oi
26 over Donahue, the pop candidate.

Mining Items,

The long pending deal between the
owners Of the Lucky Cuss group Of
mines near Keystone, and Chicago
company is said to have been finally
consumated. The property has high
reputation, and now bids fair to soon
become leading gold producer.
There is a great deal of promising
talk, says the Deadwood Times, about
tin mining in the vicinity of Hill City
and Custer, and it is currently reported
that the Harvey Peak company will
resume work again in the near future.
Other capitalists Of Chicago and the east
are investigating the tin propo ition
and have taken options or bonds on a
large number of claims.
The Lead Tribune says: "The COM
ing winter promises to be great one
for the consumption of ores in the Hills.
The Golden Reward and d. & d. will
increase their capacity fully % per cent,
the Kildonan will no doubt be consum-
ing 200 tons per day, and few days
later the big star mill will start up in
this city with an additional 40 stamps.
A conservative estimate puts the amount
of ore consumed on the belt during the
coming winter at 1000 tons every "a
hours"
The Moffit Mining and Milling com
pany expect to have their plant in oper-
alton on or about the 18th inst The
ore bins are now being filled with ore
from the dump of the Golden Summit
mine, situated near Lead. The promo
tors of tire enterprise, as well as Mr..
Motif, the inventor, are fully satisfied
of successful issue. 1t is claimed that
the process will take any character OF
ore, free milling or otherwise, and put it
in condition for amalgamation at cost
Of $3.50 per ton.
A Keystone correspondent, in re-
cent newsy communication to the Har-
ney Peak News says: "Ar. James A.
Clark of Custer City. who is the resident
manager of the Bellevue Gold Mining
company Of Chicago, has been in town
this week looking after his mining in
terests. The company has purchased
some valuable mining property on this
belt a short distance northwest from
here, and has secured options on num-
ber of equally promising claims in the
vicinity, and will commence the work
of development at once, haying already
let several contracts. A boarding house
and other necessary buildings will be
erected on the ground. and the company
evidently means to do legitimate min
ing business. Chicago business men
have good nerve, when they say II
will." they generally do il, whatever it
may be.

A PROFITABLE INVESTMENT.

Was made yesterday by a party Of
Chicago capitalists, in the purchase of
tract of placer ground on Battle creek,
a short distance below Harney City.
The ground has been worked for years
past in haphazard way, the owners
making enough during the short season
to keep them for the year. The new
owners work it in a systematic and
practical manner. Their first mo re will
be to put in and engine and pump, with
machinery for complete hydraulic out
fit, with which large and handsome pro-
fits will be realized. Mr.. Edward
Maher, the representative and one of
the members of the new company arriv-
ed in Rapid City yesterday and perfected
the deal through Len o. Fall, register
Of deeds of Pennington county. Mr..
Maher, individually, is a man of means
and in position that enables him to di-
rect the investment of large amounts Of
capital. Previous to his departure for
Chicago, he will visit the Teepee district
and proposes 10 take hold of some ofthe
quarts claims there, II satisfactory ar.
rangem ents can be made with the own
ers.-Times.

YELLOW CREEK CANT.


YELLOW CREEK CAMP.
Is the babe Of the Black Hills, but in
regard to amount and value of output
ranks next the Oldest Up TO year ago
it was hardly known. The discovery on
the Alma claim by the McShane broth
ers, at that time caused quite stampede.
Other discoveries Immediately followed,
by Ed Danielson, Regan, Ed Murphy
and others, who after working their
claims for some time joined issue and
formed the Wasp Mining company.
Extensive development work was at
once inaugurated. Since then the own
ers have enjoyed dividend OF $4,000
per month. The Alma claim, owned by
the McShane brothers, was not included
in the new company, but was worked by
the owners up to the line ofthe McShane
Fraction and into the Wa.p No 2 mine
over $4,000. There are now exposed in
the workings number of pay ore shoots
which have been crosscut in the main
tunnel. Only one shoot haa been work
ed, and that has been followed for many
hundred feet, the ore extracted varying
from $50 to $500 gold per ton, as is attest
ed by returns from shipments made to
our local d. and D. smelter, as well as
from the works at Omaha and Kansas
City. Recent work has opened up the
ore shoots at a point 1900 feet in advance
of the face Of the present workings. thus
proving the ore body to be continuous Of
the same grade. The ore reserve in the
ground already passed through is enor-
nous and far in excess Of the amount
and value so far extracted. BY working
the properties on large scale, it is es-
timated bv practical miners it would
yield nice profit of from $4,000 to
100000 per month.-Times.
