He'd Letter Days in the Black Hills.


Hot Springs, Sylvan Lake and Spear
fish are Black Hills summer resorts that
are as attractive in their way as any
places of their kind in the West. And
they are as different as any three places
can be.
Hot Springs is health resort--a good
place to get ride of ones rheumatism
and to enjoy life while renewing ones
youthful vigor.
Sylvan Lake is pretty nook in the
Heart of the Hills, an easy-going, cool,
dreamy spot, where hot weather ID un-
known.
Spearfish is thrifty town Of perhaps
1900 people not particularly notable
except in one respect-the beauty ofthe
railroad ride to it. You should make
the trip to realize how fine it is. There
is nothing more exhilarating, even in
the Rockies.
During July, the Burlington Route
will run two cheap excursions to Hot
Springs and Custer Sylvan l4ake)-one
on the 4th, the other on the 18th. One
fare, plus So, for the round trip. Tickets
good 80 days-long enough to enable
you to visit every point of interest in
the Black Hills as we'll as to receive un-
told benefit for the crisp air and healing
waters of this northern sanitarium.
For tickets call at nearest Burlington
ticket Office.
For beautifully illustrated advertising
matter about the Black Hills, write to
J. Francis, General Passenger Agent,
Omaha, Neb.

MINING Items.
G. w. ROBBINS

Homestake stock was quoted on the
New York exchange last week at $40 a
share, the highest eyer known for that
company.
A force OF men are working on the
Grand Junction property sinking. The
shalt has reached depth of about 25
feet, and the ore is improving as depth
is attained.
Drifting on the 2S5 foot level in the
Lizzie mine is steadily progressing.
Gouge matter has been encountered,
and it is thought the vein will be struck
in a few days,
Mr.. II. Reinbold informs US that an
additional force of six men will be put
on the coming week to take out Spodu-
meme from the Eta mine near Key
stone. tThis will increase the force
from two to eight men.
The differences among the stockhol-
ders of the Gilt Edge mine near Dead
wood have been settled, and work will
shortly be resumed again both at the
mine in Strawberry gulch and at the
chlorination plant at Rapid City.
John S. George, president of the Holy
Terror Mining company at keystone, in
a recent interviewing with a Pioneer
Times reporter, said that the company
was still testing the electro-cyanide pro-
cess on the concentrates. While they
intend to make thorough test, they are
now pretty well satisfied that not large
enough per cent of the gold can be saved
from the concentrates by the cyanide
and it will be found necessary to try
some other process. Some kind of a
plant for treating the Keystone ore will
be erected as soon as the best process
can be decided upon. Arrangements
are being made to add ten stamps to
to the Holy Terror mill and later on,
twent, to the Keystone, making sixty
stampg altogether.
MINING AT PACToLA.
j. c. Sherman. who has been post.
master at Pactola, on Rapid creek, in
Pennington county, for twenty years
past, was in the city yesterday accom-.
panied by his wife, driving in and out
again during the day. Mr.. Sherman
stated that party of surveyors had
been out on the creek for six weeks
running lines for the proposed railroad
to connect Mystic and Rapid City. The
lines follow the creek, and the genera
course of the road started there some
years ago, but there have ben quite 6
number of changes, and the indications
are that there will be road there now
sure enough. In that event the owners
Of mining ground around Pactola will
derive great benefit, for they have vas
quantities Of ore that would pay to ship
were it no 80 far to railroad. At pres
ent it is all the way from twelve to fif
teen miles to the nearest loading poin
on railroad, and the road over which
the ore would have to be hauled will moi
permit of it, except for the very richest
The prospectors of that district are do
ing the usual work on their property
this year, and there is an unusual
amount of placer mining being done
There is more watec than usual, owipl
to the abundance of rain, and miners
are able to wash large amount oil
dirt that would in other years have tc
be hauled several miles to a stream
Water is running down many gulches
tha. have been dry for years, end the
surrounding country is looking mag
nifcently. There is a large amount O
farming along the creek, and crops are
in excellent condition.

The war department announces that
the American forces in the PHILIPPINE
islands will be increased by the addi-
ton of fifteen thousand more men, max
ing General Otis total strength forty
thousand. No call for volunteers will
be made, it being simply the intention
to fill up the regular regiments to the
required number.

The Mining and Scientific Press hits
the nail square on the head when it
says: "No class of men in new mining
regions do more to retard the develop
ment of mines than those who stake all
the ground they can possibly cover re-
gardless Of the law or the rights Of
others. Those who would locate and
work on claims if they could haye the
opportunity are unable to buy out these
wholesale locators and do not wish to
take issue with them at law for obvious
reasons, though their case would in
most instances be won in the courts.
Local rules should limit the number of
claims which one person should locate.

The Argus Leader says "it is now re-
ported that the fusion machine in South
Dakota has selected Gov. Lee as one OF
the congressional candidates for next
year. The governor has an indistinct
idea that he would make a good sena-
tor, and this has given some worry to
the fusion managers, who have figured
out that the thing to do is to sidetrack
the governor with a congressional NOM
ination. Kelly and Knowles are said to
be quite out of the machines calcula-
tions."

A sign Of the times is the large amount
of money being spent by railroads in inn
proyements. One western road, the
Burlington, has appropriated no less
than $4,000 for this purpose. This
is exclusive of the cost of building new
lines in western Nebraska and Wyom-
ing. BY far the most important part Of
the Burlington's big repair job is the
completion Of the double track between
Omaha and Chicago. Thirty miles of
double track are being laid between
Mount Pleasant and Batavia, Iowa, and
ten miles between New London and
Mount Pleasant, Iowa. With the ex-
ception of stretch of fifteen miles, the
road now has double track all the way
from Chicago to Mount Pleasant, a dis
tance Of 232 miles. All the Illinois
lines are double-tracked, and 155 miles
in Iowa will be in similar condition be-
fore the end of the summer. Consider
able work is being done on the Illinois
and Iowa divisions in the reduction of
grades and elimination of curves. At
Princeton, Buda, Galva and Kirkwood.
H., grades are being materially lessen
ed, and curves are being taken out. In
Chicago between 500 and 900 men are
elevating the Burlington tracks, at cost
of $750,000. Sixteen four.track steel
bridges are being erected, but the work
has been so we'll planned that trains are
run without interruption.
