Deadwocd, s. d., Oct. 31.--An I'M
tcresting experiment is to be made at
the Golden Reward shelter here, con-
Quoted by Harris Franklin, general
superintendent and vice president Of
the company. Ever since the smelter
started to treat ore, the Stag or waste
stuff from the furnaces has accumu-
lated at the waste dump until. q great
mountain OF. it has been piled up. The
smelling process saves about 95 per
cent of the values of the ore and it is
estimated that from so to rs cents is
left in every ton of ore treated. in
the great dump of Stag at the smelter
there is not less than a million dollars
worth of the precious metals which
has been dumped out with the waste.
Nj. Franklin has commenced the
erection of n plant near the smelter
where he will experiment on a process
which. it is claimed, will extract
every cent of value in the old Stag
dump. If it is successful, instend of
running the hot Stag out to the dump
from the furnaces, and throwing it
away, it will he taken directly to the
new plant and there run through an
other treatment which will leave it
practically worthless.
The Detroit and Deadwood Mining
company. of Detroit, Mich, has cross
cut the ledge of ore in the City Creek
copper property, at Deadwood, and it
is found that there are thirty-one feet
of ore which will average IS a ton
gold, 3 per cent copper and about $40
in nickel. The nickel properties in the
mine will form an important item in
the working of the mine. 1t is the
first time that nickel has been discov-
cred in the Black Hills in paying guam
titles, The tunnel on this property is
now in about 425 feet and the COM
pany feels satisfied that the ore veins
have only commenced to appear and
that the wide copper ledge will be en-
couhtered when the tunnel reaches a
depth of about 700 feet.
A rich shoot of ore has been discov-
cred by Dan Flickenger on some

The Big Four Mining company, COM

wood gulch, four miles west Of this
city. A vein of ore has been encount-
cred in n tunnel 1870 feet in from the

IMPORTANT LEGAL BATTLE.


Result of Famous Railway Case
Will Have Important Bearing.
Sioux Falls, S. D., Oct. 31.-Saturday
United States supreme court in the
famous South Dakota railroad rate
case, the most important legal battle
in which the people of the state have
ever engaged. The result of the case
will have important bearing Oh the
power Of state boards of railroad COM
missioners to regulate freight and
passenger rates on lines within the
state. Owing to the fact that Chief
Justice Fuller and Associate Justice
Brewer were in Europe the case was
not argued on the 10th inst, as had
been arranged, but was continued un-
til Saturday.
The case in no way involves the con-
s%titutionality or legal standing Of the
new railroad law. The roads merely
contest the schedule of rates framed
under the law by the state railway
commissioners. They contend that
the rates fixed by the board for freight
and passenger traffic are not sufficient
to pay the operating expenses of the
lines affected, consequently they leave
nothing to be applied uponsbonds and
stocks. They thus violate or render
void the constitutional provision pro-
hibiting the state from contiscating
property without due process of law
and without compensation. The rail
roads contend that to put the rates in
to effect would virtually constitute q

fear there is no doubt of the truth of

Fears Of u Famine in Fnel Enter
tained In the State.
Huron, S. D., Oct. 31.-A coal FAM
inc is threatened in this part of the
state; for several days it has been ru-
mored that the supply i'll the hands of
local dealers is very limited, and it
now appears that the same conditions
prevail all over this section Of the
northwest. 1t is also known that
wholesale dealers are far behind in
filing orders, and have a very short
supply on hand. The estimated short
age in supply for North and South
Dakota at this time, compared with
former years, is in the neighborhood
of 100000 tons. There is a clamor for
coal from every direction, and unless
there is positive evidence that the
present conditions will soon be
changed by large shipments into this
portion of the state the situation will
become serious. Millers are especially
anxious; they are practically without
fuel, and unless relief is soon given
they will be compelled to close down
their mills; their business is unusual
" heavy and to be forced to shut down
would mean great loss to them and
inconvenience to farmers and dealers.
The railways are also sorely in need
of coal.

Chicago, Nov. IA Washington
special to the Tribune says:
1t is said at the state department
that while no formal moves are being
made on the part of European nations
looking toward a threat of interven-
ton in South Africa, reports from our
diplomatic officers abroad indicate
that some such scheme is contem-
plated. Diplomats in Washington
generally believe, however, that inter-
vention is less liable to be considered
in view of the succession Of Boer vic
tories than if the British had been vic
torious from the start.
Intervention is generally supposed
to be exercised to protect the weak
nation against the strong, and hence
lit is difficult for the European powers
to take a hand in the Transvanl trou.
bic because the Beers have shown
themselves remarkably well able to
take care of themselves.
Thus far the United States has been
distinctly averse to any intervention,
but the time may come, and that, too,
without a long interval, when such nc
ton will become advisable. The re-
turn of Ambassador Cambon from
Paris to Washington, in spite of his
express desire for a European post, is
taken as an indication that France ex-
poets the United States sooner or later
to appear as the next friend,
both to Great Britain and the
%Transvaal, and there is a hint
given to diplomats here that
the intervention proposed by Europe
will take the form of II proposition
that the dispute should be arbitrated
by or at least referred to the good Of
fees of the United States, it being as
sumed that this country would nat
urally be friendly to the T%ransvaal.
