Mining Items.

Lead is reported in Deadwood. AS re-
ported, the property was recently pur
chased by the Rothchilds syndicate, the
price being somewhere between five
and ten million dollars. The departure
of L. S. Greer, superintendent, and q.
c. Moody, attorney for the company for
New York Wednesday, has tended to
give foundation for the report, al
though it is said that neither of the
gentlemen had definite information in
relation to the transfer of the property.
The Sunnyside Mining company had
batch of 100 tons of ore from their
mine treated at the J. r. mill last week
the yield of which is said to have been
S3S per ton. The Dodge brothers have
Slipper and the mine is now being
worked by the owners who are drifting
on the 200 foot level in ore that will pay
all expenses. The j. r. people are
nearing the ledge at a depth Of 230 feet
in the new vertical shaft. The Dolcode
and ElDorado are both sinking their
main shafts.-Miner.
Mrs. James Cochran came in Monday
from five weeks visit with her hus-
baisd, located and engaged in mining
near Rockford. Mrs. Cochran brings
favorable reports from her husbands
mine, upon which the Huntington mill
recently erected is now liz successful
operation. The mine is fairly well
developed, showing a massive body
of ore, which, as shown by tests made in
the new mill, can be reduced at q good
margin of profit. Scarcity of water is
the only feature at present interfering
with steady operation. and this will be
obviated as soon as the new steam pump
arrives, which is daily expected, when
full supply of water will be pumped
from source near by, and carried in
pipes to the mill. Six men are now
employed, and Mr.. Cochran's numerous
Custer friends will be pleased to learn
that his prospects for realizing fortune
as result Of his energetic and per-
sistent efforts in the field of mining are
exceptionally hattering.
Captain Haserodt brought in some
fine samples OF ore from the Globe mine
on Wednesday. This very promising
gold property is located about six miles
west of the city, and is owned by the
Captain and Charles Harbach of this
place. The samples referred too were
, taken from the bottom of the shaft, forty
J six feet below the surface. The ledge i!
we'll defined, and shows width between
walls Of FIVE and q half feet. Gold il
considerable quantity in the ore, il
plainly visible to the eye, but the values
are said to be largely contained in tn,
concentrate which the ore carries il
, large quantity. That the Captain ha
found in the Globe sure basis for hi
future fortune, is confidently believe,
; by all who have examined the property
J and such consummation is, it is need
, less to say, most ardently desired by hi
: numerous friends throughout the Blacl
Hills.

quainted with the mine that fully 100
