twice entered by thieves. The first

Jail. Numerous small robberies have
been committed of late.

The Cradle fiasco which for the past
week has been the leading topic of dis.
cnssion in financial circles in the Black
Hills as vel as elsewhere, is Of too
recent occurrence TO definitely determine
the measure of its ultimate effect upon
the various enterprises with which that
gentleman was so prominently connect
ed in the Hills. Notwithstanding the
fact that the news of Mr. CRADLES fall is
very disquieting to our people, and the
apparent probability that it may result
in the temporary impairment of public
confidence in our mining resources, it is
by no means probable that, in the face
of our large and constantly growing gold
output, the injury will be of material
consequence, or that its effect will be
felt for any considerable period of time
The declarations Of the officers in con-
troll Of these enterprises, to the effect
that work upon all will be continued,
and that it is the intention of the vari-
Gus companies to carry out their plans
as originally contemplated, Is, to say the
least. assuring. In view ofthe conceded
merits of these various enterprises, all
of which give fair promise of profitable
returns, there would seem to ne little, if
any grounds upon which to base the
conclusion that the Cradle episode
would result in permanent injury to the
Black Hills.

War Outlook Makes Good Times

A late San Francisco special says
The officials Of the Pacific Mail Steam
ship company say that within the past
few days there has been an astonishing
increase Of shipments Of food supplies
to the orient consequent upon the gath
ering in Chinese waters of English,
German, French and Russian warships.
They also state that few days ago
the representative of the English gov
ernment placed an order in Kansas City
for 1000 tons Of beef to be sent TO the
English fleet in Chinese waters. The
Russian government, they also state,
has given big order to two Chicago
houses for canned goods and beef, part
of which will be sent from this port to
the orient and the remainder by way
Of Vancouver or Seattle. An agent of
the Russian government has an order
for 200 tons of beef, This order for
canned goods Is intended as part of the
supplies for the Russian troops now
being sent from Odessa the Manchurian
frontier. Agents of the French and
German governments have also placed
orders for meat supplies both in Omaha
and Chicago.

CRADLES Graft.

Francis Cradle, the man who buncoed
eastern men out OF some millions of
dollars on his magnificent western pro-
positions, with nerve that aqua fortis
wouldn't touch, was not particularly
choice as to whom he worked upon, says
the Deadwood Independent, but went
at the people promiscuously and went
through them alike. He must have
been hypnotist. Six warrants of at
tachment were issued against him and
the companies with which he was con-
nected before ten o'clock this forenoon
from the clerk Of courts office here, and
two were issued in Fall River county by
Deadwood attorneys for other men who
were seeking satisfaction for claims
against Cradle. The amounts ranged
from $50 to $1,000 Those who got out
warrants were: The Phoenix Iron
Works against the Edgemont and Union
Hill Smelling company, for S426 The
Dakota Loan and Trust company against
Francis c. Cradle, for $66S "a; James
Geddes against the Edgemont and
Union Hill Smelling company $32O50;
The Ayres & Wardman Hardware COM
pany against the Edgemont and Union
Hill Smelling company, $l52.57 The
First National bank of Lincoln, Nebras-
ka, against Francis c. Cradle, $500; /;

Gov, Lees Plan Fails.

Judging from the tone OF the press Of
the northern Hills, the plan for raising
money by subscription to defray the
expense of a state exhibit at the Trans.
Mississippi exposition, as proposed by
Gov. Lee, is very liable to result in a
failure, so far as the Hills is concerned.
1t is reported that the local committee
having the matter in charge, are having
rather Indifferent success in the matter
of securing subscriptions, and as a
natural consequence are becoming great
ly discouraged. Much as the matter is
to be regretted, it may be set down as a
probable fact, that the Black Hills will
not be represented at the great exposi-
ton. The goose was very thoroughly
cooked when the legislature, in accord
ance with the wishes of Gov. Lee,
refused to grant an appropriation for
this purpose.

Will Not Lose Reputation.

The Lincoln, Neb., Journal very sensi-
bly, says: The newspapers are exploiting
F. c. Cradle with as much enthusiasm
as he could possibly put into the adver-
tising of one of his favorite mining pro.
positions. The effect of all this pub
Lefty is naturally embarrassing to Mr..
Cradle and disquieting to the people of
the Black Hills, but it cannot have Q
permanently unfavorable effect on that
region. 1t has not been ascertained as
yet that his companies will not prove
reasonably good investments. AS far
as the Black Hills region is concerned,
this incident ouglst TO bring to the at
tention Of the public the fact that the
mines have been less doomed there
than in any other rich district in the
country. The operators have been con-
servative. values have been kept low
and very few wild cat concerns have
been using the Hills as basis of opera
tions. The Black Hills mines will not
lose reputation through Mr. CRADLES
excessive enthusiasm.

Commenting upon an article appear

under the caption, "A new game played

played by certain Denver mine oper-
ators to beat one of our local promoters
out of his commission in mining deal
says:
THAT is Colorado trick. Nowhere
else in the world Is it worked 10 such
perfection as in Denver and by the most
prom nent mine operators OF the state.
They always manage to wear out or
freeze out the promoter and buy direct
from the owners at greatly reduced
prices. God pity the promoter with
limited means who falls into their
clutches."

An Important Case,

The case of the Buxton VS.. the Golden
Reward Mining company, now being
tried before the U. S. court in Dead
wood, is one Of the most important cases
ever tried in the Hills. and is liable to
occupy the attention Of the court until
the close Of the coming week. Referring
to this case. the Pioneer Times in it's
issue of last Tuesday says: I'm this
case the plaintiff sues to recover 500, 900
damages from the defendant for ores
alleged to have been taken from plant
if7s ground and $4,000 to cover costs Of
the action. The principal issue in this
case is the amount and value of ore so
extracted. To determine this there will
be two bitterly contested points. one as
to whether or not the Golden Reward
company took the ore bv mistake. Ifit
is 80 determined, the Golden Reward
company will be rewarded the cost of
mining and milling and the plaintiff
will ask judgment for the net proceeds.
Another important point to be deter
mined will be the amount Of waste mat
ter taken out with the ore. Both sides
have prepared their cases with the ut
most care and have subposaned a large

Different here.

The Sundance Gazette says: A young
man, whose name We dare not mention,
called on his best girl to spend the
evening few nights since, and when
about ieady to return home the conver-
sation chanced TO turn on art and the
young lady said that he reminded her
of the Venus of Milo. Whereupon The
young man chuckled with delight,
thinking it was his symmetrical form
that his sweetheart alluded to. When
he got home he consulted an encyclo-
pedia and to his deep chagrin and
modification found that Venus Of Milo
had no arms. He went down cellar and
tried to butt his brains out against a
soft cabbage.
