BLACK HILLS GOLD OUTPUT.
Conservative Estimates Place tho Amount

Conservative Estimates Place tho Amount
at Over SIo,ooO,OOe.
Estimates of the gold output of the
Black Hills for the present year place
the amount at $40, 100000, with proba-
bility of it reaching ST., 0cO, 600. The es-
innate is based on the product of mines
now in operation for the past eight
months, which have averaged $4,000
tons per month Of siliceous ores from the
Bald mountain section and 500 tons of
the same character Of GRE per month
from the Yellow Creek camp, and the
properties in and around Lead on the
poornan divide.
The output of free milling ores will
aggregate for the year in round numbers
100000 tons, principally by the Home
stake and associate companies. The
siliceous ores from the Bald mountain
section have an average value of s25
gold, and those from Yellow creek and
Lead yield $50 gold per ton. The free
milling ores will average S4.25 per ton.
The output for the year will be: OF
.siliceoIs ore 10000 tons, worth So
per ton, and 1900 tons worth $50 per ton,
total value of $1,000, 600. The $4,000
tons of free milling ore will yield S4,-
800. total for Lawrence county
alone of s9,097,50o. To this must be
added the product of Pennington and
Custer counties, data of which are not at
present obtainable.

strike Of seamen and 1ongskoremen, to
be successful, should be universal. The
leaders here have been corresponding
with seamen's unions in England,
Trance. Australia, Germany, Italy and
Portugal.
One of the leaders of the Atlantic
Coast Seamen's union said that the big
dock strikes in England were only

was nearly ripe for a strike of seamen

better than the prospect of soon making
use of the head stone, SO she made a
dieker with the owner of the sleek, we'll

traded the useless marble shaft for the

Soon a purchaser was Forthcoming,

A New York Recorder special fror
Key West, Fla, says: One of the blood
lest encounters of the Cuban war 90
CURED near Bayamo, where company
of Spanish troops was ambushed, and
with one exception, completely ex
terminated By 400 insurgents, whs
formed q part of Rabi's column.
According to advices received here
the Spanish garrison has been shut uI
in Bayamo for several weeks by the
insurgents. Provisions and ammuni.
lions were scarce and the commander
sent word to his superior officer at San
tiago de Cuba that be would be forced
to surrender Bayamo unless relief came
soon.
The Spanish commander was notified
that a convoy was On the way te
Rayamo. and he was instructed to send
out detachment to meet it. Accord.
ingly $50 picked Spanish troops, under
Capt. Jose Perez, were ordered to meet
the convoy.
The Spaniards left the town expect
ing to meet the relief train near Bayamo
They marched till noon without meet
ing the convoy, and then halted fol
dinner.
Rabi, who was aware of the move
n1ents OF the Spaniards, detached 400
men to meet the company sent out from
Bayamo, while with his main body be
advanced to intercept the convoy.
These 400 men fell upon the 80 Span.
iards while the latter were at dinner.
The Spaniards were completely sur
prised, and were cut to pieces almost
before they were aware of the enemy's
presence. The Cubans, after firing one
volley, rushed on the Spaniards with
their machetes, and two-thirds of those
Killed were hacked to pieces. Only one
of the $50 escaped. He was left fol
dead, butt revived and, although hor.
Iibly wounded, made his way back &c
Bayamo and told the story of the
slaughter.
In the meantime Rabi, with the main
force, had captured the convoy, which
was accompanied only by company OF
Spanish volunteers, who surrendered
when they saw they were surrounded,
The convoy was very valuable, the
Cubans capturing 200, 900 cartridges and
500 rifles, besides provisions, clothing
and medical supplies.
