Two Suicides at TIN ottI.

A report reached town Monday from
Hill City hat Patrick Negle and Robert
Truax of that place had committed sui
eide. The particulars as taken from the
Rapid City Journal, are as follows:
Patrick Negle, an old miner at the
Queen Bee, committed suicide yesterday
morning by shooting himself through
the heart. He had just returned from
Rapid and Hill City, and, it is thought,
had been drinking heavily. For several
years past he had threatend to kill him
self whenever he had been drinking.
His father and one brother had commit
ted suicide, and it is probable there was
a tendency to a suicidal mania in the
family. He returned home Sunday
night and yesterday morning about
seven o'clock the boy who lived with
him came in from feeding the chickens
and found him dead with a bullet
through his heart. Mr.. Negle was a man
about fifty years old and unmarried.
Robert A. Trua1 committed suicide at
Hill City Monday afternoon by shooting
himself through the head. He had been
in i'll health and his mind seemed to
have been affected by the news of Mr..
Negle's suicide in the morning. He re-
marked to several people that he wish
ed it had been he. About half past three
in the afternoon he was found dead in
his bed, having shot himself just above
the ear. He was i~hirty.six years old
and married. He was a son Of John
Truax, and his father, mother and one
brother live in Hill City. 4 second
brother iG i'm SiouX CITY.

WILL DOUBLE ITS CAPACITY.

The keystone Miner of the 1st inst.
is authority for the statement that the
Crown Hill Mining Company have shut
down their mill at Spokane to enlarge
the capacity Of the plant, and will also
put in an electric motor pump on
Little Sguaw creek to secure Il larger
supply of water. A force Of men are
now preparing for the new machinery
which has been ordered for some time
and will probably arrive as 500 as the
company have the buildings etc. ready
to receive it. Among the other machin-
cry ordered are two Iiallett tables,
built and used extensively in Colorado
expressly for concentrating galona ores,
similar to that found in the Spokane
mine. These will be the first Hallett
tables ever brought to the Black Hills
and are said to be the best c%oncentra-
tors ever built for galena ores. 1t is ex-
pected that work will be finished and
the mill ready to start again in about
sixty days. While the Improvements
are being made in the milling capacity
the company are still vigorously push
ing development work in the mine. The
Spokane mine has been demonstrated
Co be not only a paying proposition, but
one of the best mines in the Southern
Hills, and with tire increased capacity,
now under way, it doubtless will soon
assume an enyious position among the
dividend paying properties Of the Hills.

EroDUMENE.

Was never PROJECTED for, in fact to
most miners it was unknown till the
find was made in the eth tin mine.
Although it was known to be there 1t
was never deemed Of sufficient CONNER
cial value to mine it, till attention was
called TO it by +. p. Williams, the agent
Of Receiver LeDoux here. Through his
efforts mining for spodumene was begun.
Mr.. Reinbold, a former resident Of
Omaha but now Of Custer was n of the
first men to become interested in this
new mineral which in the United States
is only found in these Hills. lie in-
yestigated Inc Eta mine, found matters
as represented aud took a lease for it
from the Receiver. Mr.. Reinbold has
worked the claim now for overtwo years
at a good profit presumably, for recently
he purchased a claifh on tho road to
Harney's Peak on which he employs 3
men who take out about 1900 pounds
daily. He hopes TO increase the output
with the development ofthe claim. The
value of spodumene varies according to
the percentage Of lithium it contains.
The mineral has so far been found in
only one or two places as yet but where
ever, it has been found in sufficient large
bodies to pay for working it. 1t would
seem to the News that it would pay
prospectors to search for spodumene.-

from the supreme court stating that the
decision in the case Of Julia b. LIntz
against the Holy Terror Mining Com
pany had been reversed, with directions
to dismiss the complaint. The case was
tried In Pennington county in the

for the plaintiff, who sued the Holy Ter.
ror Mining Company for $4,000 damage
on account Of the death of her son who
was killed in the Holy Terror mine.
Wood and Buell., who appeared for the
defense, raised the question that there
