Mining Items.

From the information at hand it is
impossible to say definitely as to
whether the big Golden Reward deal
has been consump,ated or not. The Dead
wood Pioneer claims to have been re-
liably informed that the option has been
extended, as reported to January Sth,
while the Times states upon information
which is also claimed to be of reliable
character, that the deal was perfected
about Noy. LIST. Our readers are at
liberty to take their gratuitous choice.
The Hill City News, in its issue of last
week, says: "The bond on the Lucky
Cuss property expired last Saturday
noon and &. c Crysler failing to redeem
it, Messrs Zimmerman and Price stepped
in and offered the owners to place
20 stamp mill on the mine for certain
interest in it. The proposition has been
accepted and the mill will be erected
with all possible speed. A millwright
is already at the mine to select site,
and no time will be lost in pushing the
enterprise
Foran, Walsh and Brophy, trio of
old prospectors, are now engaged in
developing their Tom Paine lode, locat-
ed few miles west of this city, which
promises to become gold producer Of
no mean order in the fu'ure. This lode
is one ofthe most massive in character
yet discovered In the district, being over
100 feet between walls. They have a
sixty foot shaft on the property, and
numerous tests indicate very clearly that
the ore is Of payable character. We
hope to have something further to say
concerning this property in future is-
sues. which will, of course, depend upon
a continuance of the work Of develop
ment upon it, which, as in all other
cases, has eyer been provokinGly uncer-
tain in the southern Pills.
TIE HOLY TEK..oR MINE.
Cashier Speed of the Harvey Peak
Bank at Hill City, who is interested in
the Holy Terror deal reports the amount
of cash called for in second payment of
purchase price Of the property was de-
posted in bank on Thursday, November
II, one day before it was due. The mine
is looking better than ever. The ore
body is increasing in size and retaining
it's phenomenal high grade.-Pioneer.
THINK IT WAS sALTED.
Most Of our readers have heard Of the
sale Of mining property which was made
few weeks ago, known as the Crow
PEAK property and sold to Milwaukee
parties. 1t now seems that said pur-
chascrs think that tho mine was salted
and that they were duped out Of their
money; at least the new owners have
stopped the mill which was enroute to
the property and it is claimed they do
not intend to build it for that mine un-
til much better showing Of pay ore is
uncovered.-LeadT Tribune.
PROSPECTIVE MINING DEAL.
When NJ. H. Day returned from Cal.
ifornia to Rapid City few months ago
he conceived the idea of having the
chlorination plant at Rapid City started
up on Bald Mountain ore. He quietly
secursd an option on the plant, which
had been sold at sheriff's sale, and on a
number of claims around Bald Mountain
and then went to Boston to enlist capi-
tai. Success may be said to be assured
now, A stock company has been or
eanlzed in Boston and money enough
has been paid in to secure the mill. and
the mines viii all pe taken before the
bonds expire. The enterprise is one Of
the most meritorious, the greatest value
