COPPER IN TIL SLACK HILLS.

Tract of 200 Acres Transferred to
British American Mining Company.
The largest sale of copper ground
ever made in the Black Hills has just
been closed by the British American
Copper Mining Company of Detroit,
Mich. J. NJ. Sweeney. general manag-
er. The ground purchased consists of
siXtyseven claims, or over 700 acres of
land, located six miles west from Roch-
ford, on the Burlington & Missouri
River Railway. in Pennington county.
1t has been known since 1856 that cop
per veins existed on the ground, but
gold has been the leading metal in the
Black Hills, to the exclusion of "copper"
until the recent advance in the price
OF that metal. a carload of copper ore
was shipped to the Chicago Copper Re
lining Company. which returned an
average value of 1851 per cent for the
carload. The Black Hills Copper Com
pany owns eleven claims on the south
end Of the ground purchased by the
British American company. Two dis
tinct veins of copper ORE ranging from
40 to 400 feet in width, have been
opened into and number of places in
the ore have given from to 20 per
cent copper. The shafts have been
verticals.
The British American company pur-
chased and made new locations of q
body Of claims mile and half long,
lying to the north of the Black Hills
Copper COmpany's claims. On the
north end Of the British
ground, two companies are taking out
ore from copper verticals which are as
large and contain the same vall1eS az
the ore in the Black Hills company's
ground on the south. The large cop
per veins are easily traced by large out
groupings of copper conglomerate ore
clear across the British-A merican COM
pany's ground and chunks Of the float
rock when assayed, average 10 per
cent. copper. Two reports of copper
experts have been made on the COM
pany's proposition, one report pro-
nouncing it to be the greatest copper
proposition in the United States. The
report states that the average value of
the copper outcroppings Of the ground
will be 10 per cent, which is Z per cent
higher than the average of the eight
dlvidend-paying copper mines of the
Lake Superior district.
1t Is believed that the veins of copper
will turn out ore with depth worth 40
to 80 per cent copper. The British
American company has received deeds
for all of the property purchased and
the new claims located have been sur
veyed and recorded. 1t is by far the
largest copper property in the Black
Hills and there are few copper COM
panies in the world with as large an
acreage Of copper-yielding ground.

the same straw sewed on at intervals 50

owe their name to the copy of the great
Chicago wheel now in full working order
near the Champ de Mars; they are made
of ribbon folded double, and then plated

purpose as well as gauze.
A turban hat made of thick plates of

This is the latest novelty in foliage and
very delicate and pretty. Such leaves are
almost white, with just a tinge of color
on the veins.
Wood violet, Bordeaux and pavot are
certainly the most fashionable dark
shades; blue is seldom required deeper
than medium. Bordeaux is often mixed
with pink. pavot with black. A red straw
hat of this tone has a black Chantlly
veil draped about the edge of its flat brim,
the extremities of which are fastened in
front by being drawn through a jet
buckle. Its trimming further consists of
crimson tatfeta ribbon gathered into Il
close resemblance to the petals of a huge
poppy about a group of black stamens.
Two of these fanciful flowers are set
against the high crown and a third under
the brim behind the left ear. The petal
like effect is enhanced by a bordering of
very fine chenille on the upper edge of the
ribbon.
This model is also very stylish carried
out in golden. yellow straw and ribbon
and black lace. Sunflowers are also made
by tlocking pieces of ribbon round ii

Although milliners make up mock flow
ers in this way, they are lavish with
feurstes productions.

AN AWFUL CRIME.
Body of a Murdered Girl Found in Flint
River,

River.
Fayetteville, Ga, April 27.-The cor
oner's jury investigating the finding Of
the body Of Pearl Knott in the Flint
river yesterday, this morning laid the
crime at the door of George kerlin one
OF the most respected planters in Fay
cite county, a man with a wife and a
large family of married children.
At the investigation it was testified
that for some time kerlin, whose son
was understood to be engaged to pretty
Miss Knott, was intimate with the
young lady. On Thursday, April Is, he
called for her in a top buggy. claiming
that he was going to take her to be
married to his son. Her married sister
objected. but the girl insisted on going
with Kerlin.
She confessed to her sister that she
was in an interesting condition, and
that kerlin senior was the father of
the child. She did not come home that
night and her father took out a writ
Of haheas corpus to compel kerln to
return her. Kerlin denied knowledge
Of her whereabouts and the case was
dismissed. Yesterday afternoon the
body of the girl. weighted down with a
number of plowshares and chains and
with bullet hole through the forehead.
was pulled out, of Flint river near here.
II Was S"olltli anu TIE HeSil eaten anu
discolored by fish. kerlin was proved
to have been seen last with the girl and
10 have been near the spot she was
found on the afternoon of her disap-
pearanCe.
The discovery Of the body and the
resulting inquest has completely up
turned the county. kerlin is a leader in
all circles. and was the last one thought
Of in connection with such dastardly
double crime. Kerlin was taken to At
lanta tonight for safekeeping, and it
was feared that he would be lynched
tonight. He strenuously denies going
for the girl in a buggy, and declares he
is innocent of all connection with the
crime.

MADE THEM QUIT WORK
Goldsmith Said Plumbers Threat
ened Him With Dynamite.
A WARRANT WAS ISSUED
Then Goldsmith Came Back and Wanted
the Proceedings Stopped - Con-
cluded That His Life Was
Not in Danger.

From complaint filed in Justice
Nichols court yesterday in an action
seeking to have three persons placed
| under bonds to keep the peace, it would
appear that the journeymen plumbers
have resorted to drastic measures in
their fight with the Master Plumbers
association, which inaugurated lock-
out against the Journeymen's union 10
days ago. The complaint was filed at
the instance of Andrew Goldsmith, who
alleged that three Of the journeymen
had threatened to blow him up with
dynamite unless he quit work on a job
on which he was engaged.
Goldsmith appeared at County Attor-
ney Connolly's Office Yesterday and stat
ed that he. with others, was employed
by Contractor A. j. Walker on some
work in the sewer at the corner of Park
ard Academy streets yesterday morn
ing, when three men. two Of whom We're
members Of the Journeyman Plumbers
union and the other the walking dele
gate, appeared and demanded that they
quit work.
Goldsmith said he and his partner
refused to comply with the demand Of
the delegation, whereupon the three
into the hole and blow them up if they
did not come up and quit work. Gold
smith was accompanied by his partner,
John Erickson, who corroborated all
he said. Both said that when the
threat to use dynamite was uttered
they concluded it was time to see if
the law would afford protection to men
who wanted to work. Goldsmith and
Erickson only knew The name of one of
the three members of the delegation.
His name was John Adair. They said
that he was a member of the Journey
men Plumbers union. The other two
they thought We're members of the
union also and they thought one was
the walking delegate.
Mr.. Connolly granted complaint
against John Adair. John Doe and
Richard Roe for threatening to commit
an offense against the person of an
other, which was filed in Justice Mich
OILS court and a warrant issued, but
before the defendants could be sum-
not be required to give bonds to keep
the peace some influence appears to
have convinced Goldsmith he was not
in as much danger as he had feared. for
he reappeared before Justice Nichols
and asked to withdraw the complaint.
Justice Nichols told him he could do So
when he paid the costs and he left.
1t may have been that the same in
fuence that prompted Goldsmith to ask
to withdraw the complaint was respon-
sble for the fact that work on the sewer
stopped. r'

STUART ROBSON.
An Opportunity for Everyone in 1.-TWO
Rogues and Romance"

The best of the two plays which Stuart
Robson is presenting on his present tour
is 1.-Two Rogues and a Romance which
was given at the Grand last night. 1t
is play that is full of heart interest and
there are eight or ten strong parts in it.,
giving opportunity to nearly every mem
Der of the company for serious work. Mr..
Robson has a part in Reggie Carruthers
in which, unlike his part in 1.-THE Med
der he has the sympathy and respect
of the audience, and while it calls for
more serious effort, ii is still Mr.. Robson
who plays it and his comedy is there.
The play last night served to present
Marie Burroughs in a role that called for
some magnificent acting. and her work
was beyond criticism. Edwin Holt, Har-
old Russell, Frank c. Bangs, Miss Ger
trude Perry and Mrs. Stuart Robson had
strong parts that were faultiessly played.

| If Thomas Sadler of Centerville
| starts in to tell you a story you had
better listen if the story Patrick O'Con-
ner told County Attorney C. P. Con-
molly yesterday is literally correct.
OConnor appeared at Mr.. Connolly's
office yesterday to make complaint
against Sadler and ask that he be pros
ecuted for threatening to kill him, and
not only threatening, but making the
attempt and coming so near succeed
ing that deponent did not care to re-
peat the experience.
O'Connor told Mr.. Connolly that on
the 9Th of the month he was sitting
in chair in Sullivan's saloon at Cen
terville and Sadler was telling story.
The story did not particularly interest
OCOnnor, and he got up to walk
away. AS he did so Sadler put out his
foot and tripped him. OConnor was
angered and inquired none too pleas
antly why he had done that. They
had words over his getting up to go
away While Sader was telling a story
and both became so angry that there
was a collision, in which Sadler pulled
knife and cut O'Connor's hand.
At length OConnor cooled down, and
seeing the folly Of having trouble over
so little Il matter, extended the olive
branch by asking Sadler up to have
a drink. They drank and Sadler SEEM
ed to have forgiven his almost unpar-
donahe cficnse, but it seems he was
only pretending, for he went and got
a gun and came back and renewed hos
tilities. This time matters went so far
that Sadler fired three shots at O'Con-
nor and he only escaped being killed
by lodging, for the bullets struck a.
barrel against which he had been lean
ing.
Even at this O'Connor said he was
disposed to overlook Sadlers action,
and would have made nothing of 1t
if the trouble had ended here, but Sad
Ter had repeatedly since threatened HIM
