ness regain his lost prestige.


The man who works for wages in the
deep mines is a miner. but not neces.
sarily in the fullest sense. They learn
by experience how to drill hole, and
how to shoot it, they learn how to tim
ber a mine to protect themselves while
at their work. But they do not need to
know how to classify rock, and as a
matter Of fact your regular miner knows
little about The different varities of ore,
and is lost when ne comes to look for
mines, with nothing but surface indi-
cations to guide him. There are many
miners who are skilled workmen in
their own department, and yet hardly
know one rock from another, while
those of them who do know something
about the rock in which they are work
ing have acquired that knowledge at
some previous time when they were
forced to it, while following the occupa-
ton Of a prospector. 1t is incumbent
upon the prospector, if he is a success
full one, to be the most thorough miner
of them all For he it is who makes it
his business to discover mines, and to
develope them sufficiently to attract
the capitalist, and to do this, if he is
fully equipped in his business, he should
know about all there is to be known in
mining. He should not only be fami.
liar with the working tools belonging to
the business and expert in their use,
but he should to certain degree under
stand geology and metallurgy. He
should be able to classify the rocks and
ores, and know what kind would be
most likely to carry the kind of mineral
he seeks. He must understand assay
ing and chemistry to a sufficient extent
to be able to make tests, so that when
he strikes mineral he may know what
he has got, and be able to approximate
it's value per ton. He should be ac-
quainted with the different processes of
reduction, 60 that he may know how to
estimate the expense Of treatment that
he may be able to tell if his ore can be
mined and reduced at profit. He
should also be able to describe his mine,
the character of the ore, the dip and
strike of his vein, and to state the char
acter Of the country rock, and the walls
by which his mineral is enclosed. All
this and much more, the prospector
should know, and in short if he is up
in his trade, he should not only be a
mining man, but at all points first class
miner.

Mining Men.

This is term which is quite indie
finite for the reason that while all min
ers are thinning men," yet all mining
men are not miners. We know they
are classed as such by the un-initiated
and by those who dwell in the cities of
the far east, but in the mining camps of
the west we discriminate and define it
differently. By common under
standing in the east every man whose
business, or occupation, pertains to any
department or branch Of the mining
business is called miner, or mining
man, and these terms are considered
SYNONYMOUS. But in the west we di-
vide them up in this way. First comes
the prospector, then the man who works
for wages in the deep mines, then the
mine promoter. and next the mining
capitalist. The latter, though he has
his money INVESTED in mines. and de.
rives his support from the mines, yet
was never underground, and perhaps
never saw mine in his life. Still in a
sense he is mining man, though not a
miner The mine promoter may be just
as ignorant Of the methods Of working a
mine as the capitalist we have just de-
scribed, but as a general thing he under
stands some Of the mining terms, knows

The Ochre Mill.

The large plant originally erected for
the manufacture of axle grease, is now
being remodeled and fitted for the
grinding of earth paint. graphite and
mica. These products will be shipped
in the dry state to the large paint " works
recently erected by Mr., Robinson at
Aurora, Ill. Mr.. r. found that to uti-
lize the Custer plant he would be com.
PEELED to enlarge his paint works.
Finding his plant at Chicago too small
and inadequate to meet the enlarged re-
quirements Of the business he has sold
the Chicago factory. and bought place
in Aurora, with buildings Of immense
capacity, which, with some slight
changes. will be just suited to the busi-
ness. The necessary changes have been
made and the factory is running. He is
here now to make the Leedful changes
to convert the old grease factory into an
ochre mill of large capacity. To do this
he has found il necessary to build dry
house and reverberatory furnace, which
is now being erected with all the men
which can be worked to advantage. The
material is all on the ground, Mr.. r.
having shipped in $4,000 fire brick and
10000 common brick for that purpose.
The drying furnace will be circular and
22 feet in diameter on the inside, while
the reverberatory furnace will be Is by l6
feet, with a smoke stack 45 feet in
height. The new pulverizer is ofthe
improved Raymond pattern. the largest
made. and will have grinding capacity
Of two tons per hour. There is an
abundance of the raw material in tie
vicinity Of Custer, as there are large
veins Of iron oxide, graphite, and mica
within two or three miles of the town
and all easy Of access.
The utilizing Of our onyx mines and
veins Of lithograph stone is also con,
templated later on, and suitable ma,
chinery will probably he put in for
saving and polishing these different
varieties Of stone which have been ex
amined and pronounced by experts
equal to the finest imported stone. The
expense of remoieling the plant at this
place, and putting in the required i'm
provements is quite heavy, and The task
is not light one, and it is estimated
that it will take until the lst Of Novem
ber before the new plant will be in run,
ming order. 1t is estimated that work
in the mines and about the mill will fur
nsh employment to about % men.
Mr.. Robinson has had to overcome
man, obstacles in the furtherance o.
this work, and deserves much credit fol
the perseverance he has exhibited ir
the undertaking. 1t is in addition tc
the large business his company is carry
ing on ia Akron, Ohio, where they
manufacture sewer pipe and tiling on 6
grand scale.

Give the BOYS q Free Ride.

Once again we make mention Of the
fact that our soldier boys are on the
sea, and are expected to arrive in San
Francisco within the next two or three
days, and no steps have as yet been
taken to raise our quota Of the sum re-
qnired to bring them home. We would
suggest that meeting be called, to get
the expression of our people, and to see
whas arrangements can be made to give
the boys free transportation home. The
following item which is selfexplanatery
will give the reader an idea of what is
expected from us.
1--WE learn that John L. Burke, of Hot
Springs, has been appointed on the COM
mittee for Fall River and Custer coun-
tias to raise funds to assist in bringing
the First South Dakota regiment home
from San Francisco free. The amount
apportioned to Fall River is $400 and
Custer $500. The purpose is to raise the
necessary funds through the boards OF
county commissioners in the various
counties and depend upon the legisa
ture to reimburse them. A special ses-
sion Of the legislature has been talked
of but there are many objections to
that, and this method was deemed the
best and quickest. The regiment is ex-
pected in San Francisco about Sept.
10th, at which place they will probably
remain about three weeks. Penring-
ton county's apportionment is 5000. and
the banks of Rap pid City have agreed to
take county warrants for that amount
at 100 cents on the dollar. There will
be about 700 men, and the cost will be
$40 per man.

the general public could have ac-
cess to the many hundreds Of papers
published throughout the mining regions
Of the United States, and were the eye
of the reader directed especially to the
mining industry, there is one thing
which probably more than any other
matter Of interest would engage atten-
ton and cause surprise, says the Mining
Reporter. This would be the daily ac-
count of the movement of mining ma
chinery from the central markets into
the camps and their installment in the
mines. The enormous amount OF ma
chinery that is being drawn from the
manufacturers, its costliness and the vast
uses TO which il is being applied in the
development of mineral wealth, would
be equally surprising to the miners and
mine operators, and it is no less marvel
Gus in the eyes OF the Reporter. The
present work is upon scale of magni-
tude and prorressiyeness unparalleled
in the worlds history Of mining.
