Ore W anted.

The Detroit & Deadwood Mining Com
pany wants number of tons of refrac.
tory ore from as many mines as possible
to be delivered free at the depot in
Deadwood. This company has a new
process for the treatment of ores, which
is now in successful operation at Grip
pie Creek, Colorado, and any one hav-
ing ore which they would like to have
tested free of charge can communicate
with either Mr.. James s. Lawson OF
Deadwood, general superintendent of
the company's mine, on City Creek, or
with Rod Murray. superintendent at the
company's Two Bit property. The COM
pany wants at least one carload of ore,
which will be shipped, as soon as Gel.
lected, directly to Cripple Creek. The
Review has not learned yet just what
the new process is with which the COM
pany is experimenting, but if it can
work the low grade ores in the Hills as
cheaply as the Cripple Creek ore, the
entire system of ore treatment will be
revolu,ioned. Some of the principal
stockholders Of the Detroit & Deadwood
Company have organized new compa-
ny for the purpose Of treating ore by the
new process. and the Review has heard
it reported that should the tests that are
to be made on the car load Of Black Hills
ore at the Cripple Greek plant be sue
cessful, the company might erect plant
near Deadwood Mr. J.. S Lawson states
that the process will treat ore fora max.
imum cost of 81 so per ton.-Minine

entirely of marble. We also visited a
