4 MILLING PROCESS
Something New in the Line of Ore
Reduction.
INVENTED BY A BUTTE MAN
The Experiment Tried on Southern
Cross Ore and 1t Is Said to Be
Highly Successful.

There are probably more skeptics i'll
mining than in almost any other
branch of business in the world ard
especially is this true of the milling or
ores, says an exchange. No matter how
feasible a new process may be but little
attention will be given it until it has
proved beyond a doubt that it Will
handle ore on a large scale. This is all
due to the fact that there are more
people who are commonly called
"cranlls' continually at work to dis
cover some method ~ which the re-
bellious and lni E.ade trAs can be
treated and the metal extracted at a
nominal cost There have been almost
as many applications for patents On
this subject as for the old and SEEM
| inglv impossible proposition of perpet-
uaI motion. Chemists the world over
have devoted lifetime to combine Il
set of chemicals that would dissolve the
precious metal in ores. Laboratory
tests have been nunerously reported as
successful but upon application on Il
working scale have generally failed,
and thus they have been forgotten, but
others spring up almost daily to take
their places.
The latest process TO attract any at
touti0n is that of Joseph Hebaus, Il
Butte man. Mr.. Ucbaus has worked
for several wears past on what he be-

inr low-rrade ores free or base, and
has made tests of everything from
, quartz to tailings from every dummy
or mine from which samples could be
secured. The process is Il secret one
for which a patent has been applied
A large number of mining men have
visited Mr. Hebaus and were shown
the plant. In its operation 1T IS SIM

The Soldiers Home.

The first meeting Of the board of
managers of the State Soldiers Home
was held in Columbia during the week
past, when it was decided to formally
open the home some time in June. 1t
was originally intended, and hoped. to
hare the formal opening on Memorial
day, but since that cannot be done the
board have now decided not to have
any formal dedicatory exercises, as the
board believes that the funds at their
command can be best used to support
the home. There will be comfortable
furnishings, although they are not all
the board desired, but will be comfort
able and neat, and the home will have
means for the accommodation of 36
soldiers. The resources of the instltu-
ton, under the direction Of the new
commandant, Col. J. r. Hillman, will
be carefully husbanded and the utmost
efficiency will be obtained for the
money at the boards command. The
building is a handsome two-story
brick, of ornate architecture, and is a
credit to the state. The following is a
brief summary of the conditions to be
imposed upon admission to the institu
ton:
Applications for admission to the
home must be made to Commandan1
Hillman upon the regularly prepared
blanks. Applications will be filed ant
as soon as the home is opened. acte(
on in the order received. These appli
cation blanks can be procured from an.
member of the board or from Com
mandant Hillman To be eligible t.
, admission the applicant must have beel
a resident of the state one year. Aft
davit to that effect is required.
The board of managers asks for con
| tributions Of literature and magazine
g and papers of all kinds for the use c

MINNEAPOLIS GRAIN.

MINNEAPOLIS April SO.-The local wheat
market opened barely steady this morning,
had short period Of strength, became very
weak about 10 O'Clock and declined nc for
both May and July wheat, firmed up about
1890 and ruled fairly strong for the balance
of the morning session. Continued liquidation
in May wheat and scalping transactions were
the chief feature Of the day. It is generally
believed that this is the last day of liquidation
in May and with that out Of the way the
market will do better. The news of the day
was meager and on the whole advised of
rather Indifferent markets, both at home and
abroad. New York dispatches said that private
cables brought selling orders, but later in
formed us that all houses having foreign con-
nections we're large buyers Of the July future
and that two firms alone had taken $50 900
bu also that 20 loads of cash wheat had
been taken for export. Chicago advised that
the cash demand was better than yesterday
and that considerable quantity would be
worked before the day closed. Private cables
report continued unfavorab1e weather in
France and Southern Russia and that the
strength shown in the Paris market for the
past week is entirely due to fear of ul-
Innate serious damage. There was nothing
new regarding the winter wheat crop, save
the facts that the Hessian fly would make
itself known to an alarming extent as soon
as he weather Is favorable. In the Northwest
seeding is progressing satisfactorily with a
wide difference of opinion as to what the
acreage will be. Some assert that It will he
fully q per cent greater than last year and
that, with favorable weather from now on the
crop of 1895 will look small in comparison.

OUTSIDE INTEREST DEAD.
GOLD EXPORTS A STRONG FACTOR.

NEW YORK, April 30.-The price Of active
railway shares scored an average net loss
of about y Of point today, which is prob
ably "a fair measure Of the influence upon
the stock market Of the heavy shipments OF
gold to Europe by .tOmorrows steamer Some
of the losses were heavier and some were
less, but it was because they were Influenced
by special causes Transactions were small
and unevenly distributed Only Sugar was
dealt in to an amount of 10000 shares, and
the total sales were less than 600 shares.
The fluctuations were narrow and outside In
terest in the market was absolutely dead.
The condition of The market for American
securities in London was equally dull, partly
because tomorrow is a holiday in that mar
ket. The volume already reached by the
gold shipments is unquestionably surprise
and disappointment to holders of securities.
The Withdrawals of gold from London for
Austria and Japan, for some time past, had
prepared observers for a reflected demand
here, but it was expected to result in trans
actions in the nature of purchases Of gold
with a quid pro quo to cover premium.
The low price at which sterling demand bills
are selling indicates that some such trans
actions are being made, but the large volume
of the shipment shows also that there must
be a legitimate demand for remittances to
meet adverse exchange growing out OF trade
conditions. Tomorrow's shipments will be
100000, making the total for the week
Sc, Al, 900. Further shipments Of from $780,
600 to $1000,000 are already announced for
next Tuesday. That this has created feel
ing of uneasiness among capitalists Is OBJ
vious from the barometer of the stock ex-
change today.
The heaviest declines were in the coalers
and some of the industrials. New Jersey
Central lost 1A, Lackawanna 1b and Read
ing common and Reading second preferred
a point each. Leather preferred and Rubber
also suffered to the extent of IN and To-
bacco, Rubber preferred and Western Union
declined a point each. In the railway list,
Northern Pacific showed the heaviest de-
cline of 11s and TIE preferred stock came
next wb.h 1as. Burlington, Louisville &
Nashville, Lake Shore and Omaha each fell
a point. There was fractional rally at
the close, which made net declines somewhat
less than these figures.
The bond market ruled depressed In SYM
pathy with the heaviness of the share spec
ulation. The losses, however, were not ma
terial, except in remote cases. The sales
were 1882, 600. Governments were active and
generally firm, with sales of $141 ,0O0
The total sales OIL stocks today were 94, 200

MARKET SUMMARY.
FINANCIAL.

CHICAGO. April 3O.-Wheat closed hrm TO-
day at an advance of INC for May anu i7so
for JULY This on delivery day is solne-
thing unusual for May. The chief factor at
the bottom of the confident buying was pfoo-
ably the continued reports OF retrogress!oh Ill
the growing crop. Corn, oats and provisions
all added little to the preceding DAY CLOS
ing prices
Wheat opened with an appearance OF firm
ness, yesterdays closing prices pefng Dlo
and sellers scarce, but he strength thus dis
Dlayed was of short duration. July COM
menced with trading at 709s@70c-not much
procurable at the lower Quotation-then I'M
nroyed to 7O3lc and followed that by a de-
cline to 69hc. quick reaction OF 1sc sue
ceeded the decline. The second upward TURN
was carried little farther than the lmme-
diate 1kc recovery, when New YORK telegrails
began to comment upon continental demand
for spot wheat, which, very early IN the ses-
sion. was reported to have absorbed any
where from 80 to 40 boatloads between New
York and Baltimore. The price on that IN
formation climbed up to INC. chicago re-
ceipts were only carloads Minneapolis and
Duluth got 37S cars against S25 Wek ago.
and 4S6 the corresponding day of the year
before. Liverpool quotations, at the open
ing, showed no change. San Francisco tele-
grams reported dry weather in California and
no prospect of rain, which impressed the
crowd considerably. Delivery OF May wheat
contracts which begins tomorrow, had ap-
parently no terrors for the people to whom
the deliveries were coming. On the con-
trary the elevator people were taking what
May wheat was for sale at Ac over July.
After touching 71Ac, a reaction to 70a4c en-
sued on realizing by scalpers, who are SLOW
ly coming into the market again. During
, the last hour the top prices OF the day were
made, July advancing to 7l72c OHerlngs
were not sufficient to satisfy the demand, es-
pecially after the bullish Modern Miller crop
report was issued. The closing price was
71%c asked.
Corn was quiet. with most OF the business
in the way of changing from May to July.
There was some weakness for time but the
market followed wheat when that cereal
started upward and held firm for the rest OF
the session. Exports were rather light, 3S1,-
O00 bu. July opened unchanged at 25Ac, sold
at 25hc, then advanced to 25ss@251sc. The
closing price was 25asc. There was an active
business in oats. mostly changing OF May to
the more deferred futures. Prices were firm,
following the course of corn. Exports
amounted to 233, 600 bu. July opened 7sc
lower at 17%c, advanced to1S41S1sc, where
it closed. Provision dealers were largely oc-
cupted in changing over May deals. The
market started firm and slightly higher with
the improved hog market, and a good advance
followed. This was not all sustained, but
the market was firm at the close, with July
pork 71ac higher at $6.621a; July lard, 21ac
higher, at $4,000. .7214. Estimated receipts
Saturday: Wheat, cars; corn, 154; oats, 245;

Gossip by private wire to G.. H.. F. Smith

Modern Miller says: The recent decline in
flour prices has resulted in a brisk demand
which today's telegraphio advices report light
stocks. There has likewise been an unusual
demand for good dry corn and for feed stuffs,
including hay. This is especially noticeable
In Southeastern coast markets. In central
states markets trade has not been as brisk as
that reported a week ago Pacific coast mar
kets did good business in -four but next to
nothing in wheat. The condition OF growing
wheat is not improved. Nest discouraging
reports come from the West coast, but the

mated, stating at the same time that during
