Mining ItemR.

The report Of the sale ofthe Iron Hill
mine, which appeared in our issue Of
last week, and which was based upon
the authority Of the Dealwood Times,
was somewhat premature, the deal hav-
ing failed to materialize. the sa being
now declared off.
The Deadwood Times gives the num-
ber of stamps in operation at Lead,
Terravi'le, Central and adjacent thereto
at 700, as follows: Homestake, 100;
Golden Star, l60; Highland, l2O Dead.

The number of mines at Cripple
Greek, Col, from which shipments Of
ore have been made is lS5. Among the
number there ara at this time, says the
Times Of that place, 65 which are tied
up by litigation, others are under bond
and closed down for the purpose of de-
pitItatiak tHei hdthct 'aiuS, nhiic
others are controlled by stock compa-
MES that have closed the mines for the
purpose Of depressing the stock market.
Notwithstanding all of these adverse
circumstances, the camp is furnishing
sufficient business to keep two lines Of
railroad busy.
KEYSTONE
Late reports from the Keystone camp
are most favorable. The Holy Terror
mill is again in operation with attendant
results Of the most satisfactory char
acter. The ore being now reduced is
said to be as rich as any yet encounter
ed in the mine, and as a consequence
the plates are necessarily cleaned up
every few hours, as they will no longer
retain the amalgam so rapidly collecting
upon them. The vein is reported to be
widening with depth. while the quality
Of the ore remains practically the same.
The machinery is being set in the new
custom mill, and the Ilant will be in
operation in the near future.
THE Guilty sARK.
The owners of the Guilty Sark mine,
near Mystic. on Castle creek, have is
sued very neat pamphlet descriptive
of their property. This shows the mine
to be a very valuable piece of property
with enormous profits in sight. 1t is,
however, to he wondered at that, with
all these advantages tn pamphlet tells
about. the mine is allowed to remain
idle and no visible efforts are being
made by the company to start il up. If
the Guilty Sark is all that is claimed for
it, the company should work it and
demonstrate by actual production its
value. for nothing is so detrimental to
the southern Hills as to have property
talked about and doomed and then have
them lie idle. The company should get
q move on itself, for there can be no
valid reason why property which
promises such profits should not be
wcrked.-News.

Trouble Possible In Case of Acquittal.
LUNENBURG COURT HOUSE, July Is =
The court did not convene today until
8 o'clock, owing to tho failure OF wit.
nesses GO put IN appearance. When the
trial OF pokey Barnes was resumed,
Mary Abernsthy was placed on the
stand. She testified that Pokey Barnes
did not leave her house after che went
there with Ellen Gale on the day OF the
murder.
A most rigid cross. exawsnstion failed
to shake her testimony. The court was
shen obliged to adjourn on account Of q
witness being absent. These delays and
strenuous efforts of the prisoner to pro.
duce evidence that will clear her has
awakened considerable feeling on the
part Of citizens.
Remarks dropped by citizens from the
vicinity OF the murder go to show that
people are determined TO remove these
murderers from their midst should the
law fail to do 30. The whole battalion
slept around the jail last night.

down at 5000. This will demonstrate
that the Magic City has now nearly
10000 inhabitants. There are between

year There have been great many
removals, principally In the colored
distrlctshn the northern section OF the
