Mining Ifenh.

The Deadwood Pioneer publishes
what is purported to be a reliable re-
port, that the Horseshoe Mining Co.
will soon erect large reduction plant
at Puma, the stone for the foundation
| of which are to be supplied from the
abandoned foundation of what is known
as the Casey hotel at Deadwood.
Favorable reports have been received
from the Grizzly Bear mine, indicating
steady increase in the value Of the ore
as the work OF development progresses
Late operations Of the mill show an ad-
vance in value from five TO eleven dol
lars per ton, the cost of mining and
milling not exceeding $3.50 per ton.
Rumor has it that .he Homestake e
mining company have discovered and
purchased the right to use a new pro-
cess for the more economic reduction of
their tailings and contemplate the erec-
tion of a mammoth plant at Piedmont
to cost in the neghborhood of million
dollars. This will be good news for the
Piedmont people
None other than the most encourae-
ing reports are received from Keystone,
where the Holy Terror mine is produc-
ing the yellow metal at the rate of 500
an hour, with a brilliant outlook for a
continuation Of similar, if not even bet
ter results, and where the new custom
mill is said to be in active operation,
steadily adding to the already phenom-
enal output of that young and most
promising camp.
The Black Hills Mining Review sub
mits the pleasing information that, it is
the settled intention of the owners OF
the Montana, an old abandoned mine
near Rockford, which failed to be pro-
fitable in its operation in the early his
tory of lode mining in the Hills. by
reason Of mismanagement, to resume
