Black Hills Porcelain Clay and Marble
Company.


B.R. Noble. of Yale, Michigan, presi
dent OF the Black Hills Porcelain Clay
and Marble company, arrived in Custer
Wednesday morning. We understand
that force will be at once put to work
to open up both the marble and kaolin
clay deposits. The gentlemen behind
this company mean business. They are
monied men and can do a great deal to-
ward opening up promising prospects il
they take a notion. They are very
much pleased with the country thus far
and they hays great hopes of realizing
something big from their investment
here. Mr.. Noble and Mr.. Gibbard are
both interested in the British-American
Gold & Copper Company quite extern
sively.
No one need doubt the purity of the
deposits of kaolin clay as samples were
recently sent to the chemists of the Bur
lington Railway Company, at Chicago,
for at analysis and the returns were a
great deal better than expected by those
interested in the proposition. The re-
port says in part:
"The samples has every evidence OF
being first rate kaolin clay and very
pure. 1t contains 55.l per cent. silica,
448 per cent. alumlna and a mere trace
Of iron. 1t withstands exceedingly high
temperature without fusion and will do
for all purposes that a good quality of
white kaolin might be used for"
l: should be bourne in mind that these
samples upon which the analysis was
made. came from near the surface and it
was indeed surprise to iIave such a
good result shown. 1t would naturally
be expected that the clay would increase
in purity with depth. The only clay
found in the United States that will any,
where equal this find, is that which is
mined at Edgar, Florida. This clay
contains about 45 per cent. silica and 80
per cent. alumina, the remainder being
impurities and foreign substances, in
which iron plays an important part.
The Custer vein Of clay looks fine and
there is every reason to expect that it
will become Of commercial value very
soon.

We are informed that Frank Hsbsrt
has leased the St. Elmo mill in Sunday
gulch, and will in the near future start
it up on ore from his Clara Belle mine
which adjoins the st. Elmo mine on the
south.
The development work on the New
Eldorado near Hill City is being pushed
rapidly. The shaft, which is to be sunk
to depth of 200 feet, is down l30 feet
on vein of high grade ore. The vein
is traceable for very considerable dis,

EXPLANATION OF RECENT LAND OFFICE
RULING.

An item recently appeared in the
CHRONICLE regarding an alleged U. S,
Land Office ruling. that where shaft
costing $2500 was sunk on group of five
claims, that did not suffice, but that in
such case $500 worth of work must be
done on (not for) each claim. The case
was reported from Utah. Register
Blanchard Of Salt Lake City says the re
port was misleading. ard writes:
! The ruling of the Commissioner of the
General Land Office was in case where
the applicant sought to apply the work
done on ground for which U. 8. patent
had been issued in 1875 as the $500 i'm
provements on a lode claim of recent
date and for which a separate applica'
tion and entry had just been made.
There was time when the Land Office
accepted such Improvements upon pat
ented grouLd, for later locations, as q
sufficient compliance with the require
msnts that $500 worth of labor or i'm
provements must be expended or made
to enable the owner or owners to obtain
U. S. patent, but this, and this only, is
now affected by the new ruling.
Where work is done and the impove
ments made upon one claim of the
group, the claims of the group consoli
dated, and the whole group embraced
in one entry and application for patent,
there is no change in the practice, and
there is no doubt but what this work
and Improvements will hold the group
and enable the applicants to obtain pat
ent from the government.
GOOD CHANCES FOR MINING INVESTMENT.
AS legitimate business mining has
the popularity of affording better pres
ent opportunities than ever before. II
is this that now distinguishes mining
from any other business. In nearly
every line, competition, trusts and
other forms Of trade conditions do not
tend to make greater the probability
OF profitable investment of capital great
or small. But in the mining business
closer study of ores has made possible
the profitable treatment of much that
was formerly rejected, and modern
methods successfully develop good
properties in districts once thought to
be worked out. No matter how thor
oughly country may appear to have
been once prospected or developed, it is
now desirable for present exploita.
ton. Some of the best strikes are be.
ing made in old camps, and no miner
or prospector is perforce compelled to
60 to new or almost inaccessible re-
gions to find a good mine. Intelligent
development is the present main re-
quirement.-Mining d Scientific Press.

AN EXTRAORDINARY CRIME.
A Man 10 the Street Shot Dead BY Prisoner
CONFINED In e jail

A crime has just been committed at
Cadereyta Mendez, In the State OF
oueretaro, Mexico, which has attract
ed great attention not only In the To-
callty. bat also IA the city Of Mexico,
owing to the extraordinary fact that
the perpetrator was at the time In
prison on a charge Of robbery, and
persons in that position as n rule have
not the means nor the opportunity Of
doing bodily harm to people who are
outside Of prison.
The victim Of the assassln's bullet
was n gentleman Of the name Of Jose
Llaca, a prominent and substantial
resident Of the locality. Mr.. Llaca
had recently had some difficulties with
persons in the vicinity owing to clashes
in business interests, and n man by
the name Of Olvera had been put in
Jail on a charge Of stealing certain
mules belonging to Mr.. Llaca from his
hacienda, known by the name Of La
Lave.
Mr.. Llaca naturally supposed that
after being put in prison the thief
would be disarmed. and In going about
his daily business in the town he, OF
course, never hesltated about passing
In front OF the prison. On the day Of
the murder he was passing on the Op
posite side Of the street, and the pris
oner, seeing him from the jail, shot a
him from behind with such good ain
that the bullet entered near the splna
column. The wounded man tried t
draw his pistol, but just then received
another bullet In the breast and fel
back In a dying condition.
The sister-in-law of Mr.. Llaca, VIII
had seen what had occurred from tn
balcony Of a neighborlng house, RAJ
into the street to render assistance t
her kinsman, and at the same time tn
murderer, who, through inexplicabl
carelessness, was allowed to get out 0
the prison, approached Mr.. Llaca an
shot him through the head, causing II
slant death.
When he received the first shot Nj
Llaca was walking along reading
newspaper which he had just receive
from the capital.

According to advices from Manila
the past week was one of the bloodiest
Of the war since the first days fight
ing around Manila
Authentic reports, mostly official,
shows a total of 379 Filipinos killed,
twelve officers and 244 men captured
and many more wounded. The num-
Der Of wounded is hardly guessable
Considering that the Filipinos entirely
lack hospital facilities, q great major
ity Of the wounded will die. Probably
the weeks work finished 1000 insur-
gents. The Americans total loss was
nine killed and sixteen wounded.
Two sergeants and one private were
killed in ambushes while escorting
provision trains.
The insurgents have been aggressive
in almost every province of Luzon.
s4eneral Pho del Pillars band, number
ing 800, which was out OF sight for
three months, the leader being report
ed killed. has reappeared in its old
field about San Miguel. Pillar is sup
posed to be again in command. He
gave the American garrison at San
Miguel, consisting of three companies
of the Thirty-ffth infantry, with a
( gatling, a three hours fight, during a
night attack. The loss of tie insur-
gents in this engagement is not in
cluded in the foregoing total, as they
removed their dead and wounded, but
presumably it was considerable.
Twenty Filipinos in the province Of
Batangas attacked Lieutenant Wende,
who with eight men, was scouting
near San Jose. The lieutenant and
five men were wounded and one pri
vate was killed.
Sergeant Lendoius, of the Thirty
fifth infantry, was badly wounded il
an ambush near Baliang. Lieutenan
Balch, of the Thirty seventh infantry
with seventy men, had five hours
fight with 400 insurgents in the NuevI
Caceras district. Twenty of the in
surgents were killed.

The officers were brought to Manila
Montenegro, who was formerly one G
the most dapper officers in the Filipin

From N. Y. Town Topics
Business men who put their adyer-
tisements in the big dailies on Sundays

therefore, need no advertising. Who
is to find or read your advertisement

body sees it, even by accident. You
are obliged to ask the clerk in the

Counsel has referred to the opinion of
the supreme court of the United States
in the case of Sentell vs.. r. r. Com

legal literature of the United States on
property in dogs. That case holds q law
of Louisiana valid exercise of the pO-,
lice power, which declared property in
dogs upon condition the owner assessed
them for taxation, and which limited tho
recovery to the value therein fixed by the
owner. The law in Minnesota is quite
different, and the case, while very inter-
esting and instructive, Is not in point. The
learned court has fallen into an error
much too common. 1T says: Although
