Black Hills contemporary a,

A Black Hills contemporary says
"The silver question is much stronger
in this country today than il was during
the campaign, and were an election TO
take place now the silver cause would
win by o handsome majority" The
alluring statement will doubtless be
very comforting and assuring to the
ovsr-credulous patrons. who accept
everything as gospel which appears IN
the columns of that silver sheet, with.
out even suspicion Of the very ap.
parent fact, that the sable feathered
editor is simply talking through bis tile.

There is deal of truth in the follow
ing, clipped from a recent issue of the
Huronite There are people in every
community who want to tear down
instead of building up. They attack
character with as little hesitancy as a
gardener does a weed, and are only
content when they have put in good
blow at some honest mans name. You
can detect such people easily. They
never have a good word to say for any
one or anything. They have no kind
words and no kind looks. They feast
upon SANDER as the crow does upon
carrion and they are happiest in their
ghoulish glee when some poor creature
has been overtaken by misfortune.
Such people should be stunned. A
leper is companionable compared with
them and solitude is made glorious by
their absence"

Ragged Top correspondent, in a
recent communication to the Dead wood
Review, classes that camp among the
mining infants, in its swadling clothes,
so to speak, and marvels, as well he
may, over the phenomenal fact that it
already has nine producing mines.
Ragged Top is an expanding bud of
promise which bids fair to soon become
full blown golden daisey.

A Bloody Affair.

A Chadron, Neb., special gives the
following account of a bloody affray oc-
curing at Crawford on Tuesday last !:
"A bloody battle occurred in Crawford
this afternoon, as q result of which
Arthur Morrison, once city marshal Of
Crawford, is at the point Of death, and 4
dozen others are seriously injured. The
trouble began in saloon, where Morri-
son had been indulging too freely, and
wrangle ensued between Morrison and
man named Austin. Marshal Spear
man attempted to arrest him and Nor
rison struck him three times. Spear
man tried to down Morrison, when the
latter pulled gun and attempted to
shoot, A bystander caught his arm,
and the shot went wide of its mark.
Spearman, knowing the dangerous
character Of the man, clinchsd with
him, and using his revolver as a club,
struck Morrison on the head, cutting a
great cash and fracturing the skull.
Morrison still showed fight, but was
finally subdued and taken to the Jail,
where he is now surrounded by
a bowling mob of 200, and it is feared
that he will be lynched. Morrison was
convicted about year ago Of the muir
der Of Avon Harris at Crawford in Janu-
ary. 1895, but secured q new trial and
was then acquitted Spearman belong
ed to an opposite faction, and had sworn
to kill Morrison 'if he ever made a
break at him" The feud between the
two factions is of long standing, and
there will doubtless be more trouble as
result Of this last outbreak. Sheriff
Bartlett and County Attorney Fisher
have started for Crawford, which is
thirty miles distant.

The effects of the tariff uncertainty
are everywhere manifest, says the New
York Engineering and Mining Journal,
and merchants are unwilling to enter
into any new enterprise. Manufactur-
ers are also naturally limiting their
production until the new conditions are
established and understood. The war
news from Europe has had very little
effect beyond temporary increase in
the price of wheat. as it is believed that
the war will not extend. aud will prob
ably be of short duration.

BY A NEW PROCESS.

Joseph Hebaus, Butte, Montana,
man, has invented new electro. chemi.
cal process for treating low grade re-
fractory ores for which he claims
wonders. According to a published
statement Of the inventor, he is able to
treat ores at cost Of not more than so
cents per ton. He claims to be able to
extract from four to six ounces at an
expense of half dollar, the price ofthe
chemicals used in his method of treat
ment. A machine having a capacity Of
five tons will require only one horse
power to operate it, and he claims that
Il will work on any kind of ore or COM
pounds carrying either gold or silver.
He further claims TO be able TO save 100
per cent Of gold contained in ores that
are not susceptible of treatment in the
ordinary mills where amalgamation is
depended upon for saving the metal.
| This, too, he says is with weak solu
ton Of his compound, the same solution
also being able 20 save from So to 90 per
cent Of silver A peculiarity of the
Hebaus' process is that its inventor says
it is not applicable to very high grade
ores, but with the bsser ores Of medium
or low grade he holds it TO be COM
plete success. He claims 10 have ex-
perimented with Southern Cross ore,
considered to be about the most re-
fractory in Montana, and to have OBJ
tanned 75 per cent Of the assay value in
less than two and one half hours from
the time the experiment was begun.
He says that no smelling OF concentrat-
ing is necessary and that to mines hav-
ing water power no expense is neces-
sary except that involved by the pur-
chase Of chemicals, which is almost next
to nothing. A strong feature of the
machine is said to be its extreme
simplicity and portability. The inven-
tor claims that in an hour lie can teach
a man of ordinary intelligence to run
one. He says it is Just the thing for
prospectors to take along with them
into the mountains to work ore too far
away from railroads or reduction works
to pay for handling. One of his ma
chices, a small one, is said to be in
successful operation at Butte.-Times.

Lead, and stood on the Minnesota
ground. Mr.. Cochran bought the mill
soma time ago. With this he is able to
handle five tons of ore daily, employing
two men besides himself One man
breaks enough ore in haif day to keep
the mill running all day. He puts in
the rest Of his time at the mill. The
engineer is an analgamator, and looks
after the plates. The owner occupies
himself prospecting. This is probably
one Of the best propositions in the Hills,
making greater returns upon the money
involved than any other.
CRIPPLE CREEK GOLD OUTPUT.
Ore shipments from Cripple Creek
continue to increase, and in March for
the fist time the values exceeded
81 ,000, 900 in single month. This total
was made up by 6.459 tons smelling ore
averaging $50 per ton, and l7,l36 tons
milling or averaging s25. The total
shipments were therefore 1885 tons Of
ore averaging SAP per ton, and the total
value 81 ,003,25l. 1t is to be noted that
this large amount was secured chiefly
by an increase in the quantity Of low
grade ore, which goes TO the mills.
These ores in March furnished II per
cent of the tonnage, and 427 per cent Of
the values, though their average grade
was so much less than that of the
smelling ores. For the quarter ending
with March there was total production
reported of 59,4S5 tons of ore. 20.46l
tons being smelling ore and 39,024 tons
milling ore. The total value Of the
former was 81 ,657 ,96l, and of the latter
1896, 400, making the full value 81, ,654.-
38l for the quarter. This growth Of the
camp is very gratifying.-Engineering
