CHAMBERLAIN. $. D.. Dec. iG.-Ono
day during the latter part OF last June,
William Franklin aud his daughter,
Mrs Frank Stone. happened TO stroll
up gulch In Pennington county. and
and stopping 10 rest, MrA Stone idly
broke in two small piece OF rock.
which In the break. upon examination
showed some particles OF gold A little
digging exposed more OF the rock;
which, upon being panned, proved
very rich. Everybody In the vicinity.
having nothing TO do, visited the spot,
and for pastimc were allowed 10 dig
out some Of the rock and pan out tho
gold. As every man In that vicinity
was In bad condition financially, and
without other means for raising tho
money for the proper celebration Of the
approaching Fourth OF July, quite an
opening was made and the proceeds do
voted to that purpose.
From this little incident dntca the
discovery OF gold In the Holy Terror
mine, which from day to day causes
greater excitement In aiming circles
With five stamps the owner recently
pounded out 50, 500 In gold In ten hours.
Much Of the ore runs $500 10 the ton.
Persistent prospecting revealed no
other place where the vein came TO tho
surface save this one spot, which has
been walked over every day for years.
MIR Franklin took In T. c. Blair rs
partner, and shaft was begun, tho
ore taken out being treated in the Key
stone mill, and returned value much
above the expense OF sinking the
shaft When the shaft reached n
depth Of forty feet, developing u we'll
defined vein, which steadily improved
with width and value MS depth was
gained, the owners made nm arrange
mcnt with j. j. Fnycl and Albert Ans
bury, by which they agreed TO erect a
stamp mill on the property In consid-
GRAFTON Of half interest In the mine.
A five stamp mill with an engine ca
pacity OF ten stamps or more was quick
~ built at u cost Of about s., 900, and
put in operation three weeks ago
While the mill was being built men
were employed TO run drifts north and
south from the shaft at 70 depth OF
forty feet, while sinking was pushed In
the shaft Most OF the ore millcd has
been taken from these drifts Tho
vein consists OF marvelously rich ore,
averaging sixteen inches on one wall,
wall, with about two feet Of low grade
ore filling the remainder OF the vein
The richness Of this ore strike must DO
seen 10 be believed Nuggets Of solid
gold from one 10 two pennyweights To
five ounces In weight are found snugly
tucked away waiting To be brought TO
light, while large pieces OF quartz are
so bound with gold that the parts hang
together when broken with hammer
The first cleanup was made Ia tho
new mill after a run Of thirty-siN hours
The result was q retort weighing a lit
tie over iG6 ounces, from thirty tons OF
ore taken from the mine. The second
run OF twenty-four hours gave a retort
weighing no ounces and the third run
OF twonty'siS hours gave eO3 ounces.
These three returts are worth $4,000,
and were all produced by iiye-stamp
mill inside OF one week from the start
The shaft has now reached depth OF
sixty feet, and shows larger aud
richer body OF ore than ever Parties
who have recently visited the mine re-
port that II is probably the richest ever
discovered Ia the black Hills.
