The Golden Reward Constellation

The Golden Reward Consolidation
Mining Go. are going to build an: addi-
ton to their newly acquired smelling
plant for the purpose Of refining the
base bullion which has heretofore been
shipped east for separation and refine
ment. 1t is estimated that this will cost
about $50 100000, but will largely add to
the efficientcy OF the plant, employ more
men. save transportation and in many
ways add to the profit of the concern.
1t is still an unsettled question with the
company whether they will rebuild the
chlorination plant which was destroyed
by fire. Mr.. Harris Franklin, who has
just returned from N Y. where he met
with the directors Of the company, who
he reports are well pleased with the re-
suits of the smelter, and also with new
mining ground recently purchased by
the company Mr.. f. was assured that
all the money necessary to carry out
their new plans would be forthcoming,
and the contemplated improvement
would soon be completed.

Frank rranc,s's Feat.

On Thursday Of last week there was
an accident which occurred at the North
Star mine, located IN the Penobscot dis
trict, about eight miles northwcsrfro
Custer. The gentleman whose name
stands at the head Of this article, 10 the
hero OF the incident, and We question
II there il money enough in the world
to induce him to repeat the perfor-
nance.
Frank, as ne Is called, is working at the
North Star mine. running the whim
and du.,ping the buckets as they are
hoisted from the shaft. During the re-
cent rather cold weather there was con-
siderable Ice accumulated around the
shaft, which rendered the situation
rather dangerous. II 30 happened that
Frank. while attending to his work. was
standing with his back to the shaft when,
without warning, his feet slipped frcm
under him and he fell square backwards
and lead first down the shaft. The
shaft is lG0 feet in depth, we'll timbered
with smooth sawed timber, and no
chance whatever TO catch on the sides
to in any way mitigate or break the fall
from top to bottom. The bucket, how
ever, which is attached TO wire cable,
was at the bottom OF the shaft ready TO
be hoisted TO the surface. With rare
presence of mind Frank caught the
! cable when about ten feet down, but
the momentum he had gained. and tn
awkward position he was in (heels up.)
he could not hold, and the cable slipped
through his hands. But while sliding
he soon got in position. and twisting
one leg around the cable he at length
brought himself 10 u stand still. He
was by this time about half way down
the shaft, and finding 1t was too far to
which feat slowly and by degrees he
accomplished. On reaching the $50 foot
level he stopped, for at the bottom Of
the shaft there is a nine foot well or
sump. and Frank had no desire to wind
up his escapade with a cold bath The
shaft is n large one, and he could not
reach far enough TO q. AXE the landing
so he shouted TO the men who were
working in the drift about 100 feet away
They rame Immediately, and their AZ
~tonishment can better be- imagined than
described when they saw Frank sns
pended in mid air, clinging to that cable
Pull me over" he said, for tell ynu
/ am getting little ,ired OF this" n nd
as soon AS they could collect their scat
tered senses they did so, and Frank
landed. He took breathing spell while
he explained to the boys the ia ur. o
the ladde" to the top, spoke to
the horse, and the work went on just a.
if nothing had happened.
Now, Ne were undigni6ed enough
once upon time to go TO the circns,
yes, we may as vel! confess it, we went
several times, just to take the children
! of course, and we have witnessed some
high and lofty ,umbling. We have seen
| the gay youth, WHO sails through the
air with the greatest of ease, the hand
some young man on the flying trapeze." "
But each and all Of them can find their
master bv coming to the southern Black
Hills And we hereby challenge all
corners to even undertake, under like
conditions, to duplicate the double back
action performance of our champion
ACROBAT. Frank Francis.
