Looking to the Black Hills.

Another well known mining expert OF
Colorado arrived in Deadwood this week
representing several of the large COM
pa nies there. He will examine several
groups Of claims and get general idea
Of the country. His first trip through
the phonolite belt was astonishing to
him. He stated that he had never be
fore seen mining section that resem-
bled Cripple Creek, in formation, so
much as this Black Hills belt He stat
ed further that there was any amount of
capital in Colorado Springs and other
Colorado cities, for investment in the
Black Hills. This expert stated that
the companies represented by him haye
decided to not invest cent more in the
Cripple Creek district. The reason for
this is that all of the mines are going
into the hands of powerful eastern
syndicates and that to commence new
mine there now requires an outlay of
from one to two hundred thousand dol
lars. He stated further that the Col
orado people were looking around for a
new country where corporations had
not secured everything and where a per
son or company with moderate finan-
cial backing, could get show. The
Black Hills district had sprung into
prominence in the past few months, in
Colorado, owing to the discovery of the
phonolite formation. The Burlington
Railway Company had sized UP the sit.
uation and a railroad was being built at
the present time which would connect
the Hills directly with Denver. This
road, in the opinion of this expert, will
mean the salvation of the Black Hills
this summer. There are at present sew
eral troubles in Cripple Creek, such as a
fight between the mine owners and the
smelter trust and railroads. Some Of the
mines in that camp have closed down
and other mines are working only small
forces. The expert stated that the Black
Hills afforded unique working district
for the Colorado mining men. There is
plenty of water, good opportunity for
small ore reducing plants, no smelter
trusts and an unlimited amount of min
ing ground that can be secured at rea-
sonable rates. There are at present no
large mining corporations at work in the
Hills and there is every inducement for
eastern and western mining men to op-
crate here.-Black Hills Mining Re-

Another Mine Horror.

Barney Engle, miner working in the
Holy Terror mine at Keystone, was
killed last Tuesday, by falling from the
fourth to the seventh level, distance
of 800 feet. The particulars of the acci-
dent as shown by the investigation of
the coroner's jury which held an in
quest Tuesday night, taken from the
Rapid Journal of the 26th, are as fol-
lows:
Six men were on the cage going down
the Holy Terror shaft. They were
William Walker, A. w. Daley, Sam
Majolo. John Winros, Barney Engle
and James Reddy. They were stand
ing close together, each one haying
some powder in his hand TO work with.
1t is against the rule to take powder
with them in box, each man being ex
pected to take his powder in a small
bag, coat sleeve tied at the end. or some.
thing Of that sort. 1t seems that one Of
the men disobeyed this rule, however,
and got on the cage with box of pow
der, the box being about twenty inches
long and six inches wide. 1t is supposed
that this box hit the edge OF the cage.
No one seems to know just what, but at
any rate there was commotion and
each man hit against another, and when
they recovered their balance it was to
learn the awful fact that one of their
number had fallen off and was mass OF
mangled flesh and bones 800 feet be-
low. Poor Barney was hurled to his
doom in less time than it takes 10 tell it,
and was picked up with almost every
bone in his body broken. No blame
attaches to the company. 1t was an ac-
cident pure and simple.

The supreme court Saturday handed
down decision in the case Of Meade
County bank against ]. d. Reeves, state
auditor, in which the lower court was
affirmed, says Pierre special of the
22nd. This is known as the Wolf boun-
ty case, and was brought to settle an ap-
parent conflict in the wording of the
statute. The holding of the court is that
the amount Of $1,000 appropriated for
the year 1899 applied to that portion of
the year up to the beginning Of the fiscal
year beginning July lst, 1899, and that
the continuing appropriation of $4,000
fer each fiscal year thereafter begun
with the fiscal year beginning July /,
1899. In that much the supreme court
changed the ruling Of the lower court
which held that the first appropriation
was for the whole of 1899 and there was
no other appropriation until the begin
ming of the 1000 fiscal year. There is
$4,000 now available and claims are on
file amounting to $4,000.

he made many friends by his fairness
and good judgment as presiding officer
in the senate, and as chairman of the

THE SOUTHERN HILLS.

Isaac Downing, one ofthe old time
and experienced mining men of the
Black Hills, recently returned from
Custer county and in an interview with
the Independent man he give us some
important information on the promis-
ing mining outlook for the southern
Hills. Mr.. Downing said "the devel.
opments on the Grand Junction are OF
the most satisfactory nature. They have
a shaft on this property that is now l0C
feet deep, and on this level crosscut
has been driven, disclosing ledge
eighty-fve feet in width with only the
east wall exposed. The ore in this ledge
is free milling and concentrating pro
position, which is the characteristic o.
all large quartz veins in the Black Hills
This enormous ledge that is being ex'
plotted at the Grand Junction can be
traced along its outcrop for 5000 feet and
throughout its entire length the ore
shows milling prospect on the surface

The company haye made a shipment
of ore to the smelter at Omaha. and
weather permitting, will make addition
al and continuous shipments to Omaha
and Denver. Their property is located
twelve miles northeast of Custer, and
four miles from the railroad. Just now,
owing to the impossible conditions OF
the roads, no ore can be hauled to the
railroad. 1t is the intention of the
management to erect works for the
manufacture Of mineral paint, and pro-
badly erect an iron furnace and gold
and silver smelter.

Mining Items.

1t is reported that II. II. Francis has
leased the New York Mica mine, seven
miles southwest Of this place, and will
shortly put on large force Of men.
F. c. w. Graydon, the mining pro-
moter Of Chicago, returned yesterday.
Mr.. G. has a bond on the Mayfower
group of mines, and we understand that
development work will be commenced
in short time.
Runyon and Johnston have finished
their contract on the mica mine about
a mile south of town, owned by r. C.
Pearson of Adams, Nebraska, and in
running short open cut they uncover
ed a four foot vein of large sized mica.
Several solid books will cut eight to ten
inches square. The mica is nearly all
merchantable, splits easy and is first
class. The vein runs northwest and
southeast and can be worked economic
ally.
Frank Mclaughlin has signed con
tract with II. Reinbold & Co Of Custer
for the quarrying OF 500 tons of spodu-
meme rock at the Eta mine near Key
stoe, to be delivered during the present
year. Reinbold & Co. shipped several
hundred tons to Europe last year, where
it was used for the extraction of lithia.
The advertising of this fact however
led to the discovery of large bodies Of
other lithia bearing mineral of better
quality and nearer the markets, that it
is no longer profitable for that purpose on
account of the limited demand for these
preparations. 1t is now used for ferti-
lizing materials.
