SALE OF COAL LANDS.

ShA VI >NHh NFDS'
James d. Hardin, general manager Of
the Hardin and associate mining COM
panies, of the Two Bit district, on Fri
day closed deal of 800 acres Of choice
coal lands in the Hay creek district,
says the Deadwood Pioneer-Times. The
lands are to be selected for Mr.. Hardin
by Prof. Hemingway, the we'll known
coal expert, and he will proceed at once
with this work. The land is to be in
one tract, in the heart Of the Hay Creek
district, which is only nine miles distant
from the site of the proposed smelter on
Rsdwater. We are not at liberty at this
time to state the consideration in this
deal. Prof. Hemingway inform US
that the coal is Of a fine quality and is
adapted to steam and coking purposes
that he knows of anywhere in this
section. A practical test was made BY
the Elkhorn railroad company a few
years ago of 200 tons. Officials Of the
road stated, without reserve, that the
coal gave better results than it has used
on the western division. There are
immense bodies of this coal that are
easy of access.
Engineers were busily engaged yes
terday making b ne PRINT profiies of the
plans for the proposed smelter and Mr..
Hardin expects to 60 east in a few days
to confer with his associates and to sub.
NIT plans TO manufacturers for machin-
cry and equipment for the smelter upon
which proposals will be made for fnr.
nishing the equipment. Mr.. Hardin
has succeeded in interesting a syndi.
cate composed Of very wealthy men OF
Chicago and New York in his smelling
and coal mining enterprises. The
smelter will be one Of the most com
plcte In the country and will treat the
ores from the Hardin syndicate's mines,
The company will also do more or less
custom work, the extent Of which, OF
course, will depend upon the volume OIL
ore furnished by it's own properties
The coal mine will be operated on an
extensive scale, being equipped with
the most approved machinery. A large
coking plant will also be put in. Thus
the company will be enabled to trea,
refractory ores Of this district at an
ex Expense to the mine owners materially
lower than present rates.-Pioneer'
Times.

North Star group arc making fair pro-
grsss. A blacksmith shop. which was
one Of the most pressing necessities has
been completed, and there is now moth
ing to interfere with the rapid develop
ment of the property. The company
decided to utilize q shaft sunk some
time ago on the property, which is "a
feet deep and of proper dimensions for
a working shaft. The shaft will be
sunk to a depth Of of 100 feet when the
vein will be cross cut, and the work of
sinking continued at least another 100
feet. In the mean time, should the
situation warrant it, a plant for the re
duction of the ore will be erected on the
property. The outlook for the success
of the enterprise is regarded as being
very promising.

Lee Day has refused al offer Of $780,
600 for the Gilt Edge of Strawberry. At
frst thought it appears a foolish thing
to do, but 1t Is not, considering the TACT
that with only FIVE men employed in
breaking down ore it is producing

management it soon developed into a

end Of that time, unless the prison.

In the meantime, new element Is
introduced into the case. The bodies
OF Carranzn and Dullosc are the
property OF Detective Kellert until
his claim Is satisfied or the case dis
solved The United States authors
ties are DESTROYS Of having Cnrranza
and. DuBosc leave Canada. a thing
which they cannot do without for
feiting their bail. As II stands now,
II looks very much as II Detective
Kellert had made It impossible for
the Canadian government to order
the Spaniards TO leave the countr
until at least the cap0s has been
dissolved. OF course, Dullosc and
Carranza might jump their bail, but
their present desire is to remain in
Canada.
Washington. June 6.-Lleutenant
Carranza and Senior Dunosc, who are
conducting their Spanish operations
from Montreal, have succeeded in
obtaining brief respite from eX-
pulsion, through the denial by Car
rama Of the accuracy Of certain
features Of the letter attributed to
him. The British authorities acted
on the assumption that the transla-
ton OF the Carranza letter was cor
rect anu lllHl thlS lHVTt WIS nv
doubt that the Spanish officials were
using Canada MS base for hostile
action against the United States,
But since a question is raised as TO
the accuracy Of the translation, no
step is likely to be taken towards q
forcible expulsion until the transla-
ton is established as correct.
The British authorities have been
ready from the outset to act on any
well established case, but the ex-
pulsion OF foreigner is such a seri-
GUS matter that 1t Is said no such
step would be proper while the evil
dence was open to question. The
Carranza denial raises n question OF
veracity which can be readily settled
by the production Of the original
letter. This is not In the possession
OF the state department, but 1t is UNI
derstood to be in the hands OF the
secret service branch OF the treas
ury. When the accuracy Of the
translation Is established, the Brit
sh authorities will act promptly.

DnnloIwobntor,s Curious Fancy.

Daniel Webster had a curious fancy
for painting the faces of his cattle.
One week the poor beasts would walk
around with blue faces and the next
would appear with red ones. On his
farm he kept many head of cattle,
and some Of them became SO fond Of
the great expounder that they would
follow him about like dogs. Among
the number were several that resent
ed his friendliness, and in order to
punish these and distinguish them
from the rest he painted the face Of
each beautiful blue.
The effect was SO novel that II
pleased him, and from that time forth
he changed the color whenever he had
few minutes TO spare, and would
laugh heartily at the establishment Of
his friends when they saw the queer
looking beasts on his premises.
