the city early in the week looking after
the interest of his patients. The doctor
has a number of patients in this city, al!
of whom express the highest confidence
in the efficacy of his treatment of their
respective cases. His high professional
standing at Edgemont, his residence and

than a score of the representative men
of the place, who testify to the efficacy
OF his remedy, and his honest and up.
right methods in the treatment of his
patients. We bespeak for the doctor 9

ANOTHER Inning pEA
Yesterday another mining deal was
consummated whereby j. II. Schenk. of
Sheridan, sold to w. j. Hilands, repre-
senting the Black Hills Copper, Mining
and Smelling company, some valuable
copper claims. The property in ques.
ton is the Copper Mountain No. l and
2 and Copper Mountain Placer. embrac.
ing twenty acres. The ground is an
extension Of the well known Blue Lead
property and joins it on the south. Mr..
lliland's associates are S. A. and L. l..
Baxton, Of Lima, Ohio Samuel p. Dunn
and j. Ii. Whanp, Of Cleveland, Ohio.
The company has ample capital TO de-
velop the property and have already
commenced active operations in this
line. The ledge will be tapped at a
depth of 200 feet which will permit of
the handling " the ore at n mere NOM
inal cost. The ASSAYS obtained from
this property are exceptionally good, the
lowest being eight and n half per cent
and running as high as forty-eight and
one half per cent. That the proposition
is q good one can hardly be doubted
when ii is known that the great Atlantic
mine only gives .Gl Of one per cent, the
ore being transported three miles to
mill and fifteen miles to smelter. OF
the great copper mines the Anaconda
gives the highest value, six and one.
fourth per cent. During the last six
months. from Jnne until December the
profits of this mine was 81. 1850, 900. The
highest ASSAYS obtained in and around
Sheridan gives license for the belief
that section will be the scene Of mining
activity second to none in the Black
Hills.-Journal.

shaft fifty feet further, which work will
be done Immediately. Mrssrs. Ranue

Mining Items.

The owners of the Golden Slipper
mine have declared another dividend.
The last cleanup was the bevkthe mine
| has ever produced, and the property is
today In better condition than it ever
has been before. A deal Ia now pend
ing on this mine. and for this reason
work has been suspended for the time
being News.
An option and bond has been secured
by eastern parties on the Crown Hill
group Of mines owned by w. w. Odds
and associates. The property is situat.
ed in the vicinity Of the Creston and
Cornucopia and with development will
prove valuable, there being at the pres.
ent time several vertical veins of high
grade ore exposed in the workings. The
bond runs for four months and during
that time the parties holding it will
push development work.-Times.
j. n. Hawk Wright, the well known
prospector and miner of this place, who
was n of the original locstors of the
Golden Slipper mine, near Hill City,
which. after he had parted with his in.
terest in the same for a trifing consid
eration-a song, so to speak-proved to
be one of the most valuable properties
in the district, has recently discovered
another bonanza on Friday gulch, north
Of Hill City, which, from present indi.
cations, may be safely added to the long
list Of recent gold discoveries taking
rank with the famous Holy Terror.
Reierring to Hawks recent experience
M n prospector, Frank p. Williams. of
Hill City, in a recent interview with u
Rapid City Journal reporter says:
Some men are born with marvellous
luck-or eyesight. They seem to find
rich veins-look right into the rock and
locate them-as often as they vary the
mono.ony of life by a little toll. Several
men you can think Of have turned up
with valuable gold interests without,
seemingly, having started even a healthy
perspiration. don't think this remark
applies to Hawk Wright, one OF the
original locators Of the Golden Slipper.
He is a persistent student Of the rocks
and n hard worker. but lucky withali.
John Truax, the bard of Hill town, is
said to have tuned his Tyre and sung
Hawk a ballad in payment for his in
terest in the Slipper, but Wright, after
bewailing his .ost bonanza a while, as a
man naturally would, went out few
weeks ago into the Friday gulch coun-
try north of Hill City, looked oyer the
ancient placer workings in that vicinity,
and presently appeared in Hill City
with a bag of graduated quartz literally
red-red as Hawks whiskers-with
virgin gold. ! don't know the name of
the claim, but parties who haye seen it,
say that the ledge is from twenty inches
to two feet in width, confined between
well defined walls, ard that much ofthe
quartz should mill 500 per ton. | pre-
sumo it would require a rare minstrel to
buy Hawks new find for a song"

DUR COPPER y

Concerning the copper mines of the
Black Hills, the Deadwood Pioneer says:
THE best developed and most promis.
ing copper prospects have been found
near Sheridan, Pennington county,
where the famous Blue lead is located
and on which several locations have
been made. During the past few weeks
interest in these claims has been reviv.
ed, at first by the bonding to S. A.
Flower of q control Of the stock of the
Gray Eagle Copper Mining company,
and by the more recent sale of three
claims on the Blue lead bv Henry
Schenk to a syndicate Of Ohio capital.
lists. The new owners Of the Schenb
property will run a tunnel to strike the
ledge exposed at the apex by the Gray
Eagle company. The Ohio syndicate,
known as the Black Hills Copper Min.
ing and Smelling company, is said to
have ample capital to develop the mines
and erect a smelter, when thought
practical. The bonding Of a control o.
the Gray Eagle stock will also bear fruit
for Mr.. McMullen of Chicago has gone
to Sheridan to begin operations on ar
extensive scale. This is already the
best developed copper claim in the Hills
and it is said that almost a sufficient
amount of ore is in sight to warrant the
erection of a smelter. The ledge ha.
been traced along the ridge through the
various claims and appears to be a very
large one. 1t is said that there Is 9

The Motif oxidizing mill, located at
