pHE CLARA BELLE GROUP.
A Visit to the Mines, Whose Riches
Creates Such Wide Spread In
terest Ear and Near.

Awaiting ourselves of an oft repeated
invitation, Mr.. j. Kubler, editor and
proprietor of the CUSTER CHRONICLES, and
myself selected Sunday, the Goth OF
April, to pay our visit to the now Justly
celebrated Clara Belle. This group oil
mines has been owned and worked the
last twenty years by Mr.. Frank Hebert
whose residence has always been at the
mine. After a pleasant drive of about
nine miles we arrived at our destination
and were pleasantly received by Frank
and his threee brothers, Joseph, John
and Charles, who with their families
have recently come from the east to join
their brother in the Hills. 1t being
Sunday there was no work going on in
the mine or mill, and most of the boys
had mounted their horses and were
away visiting their friends in the differ
ent surrounding camps of Keystone,
Hill City and Custer. However, we had
the pleasure of shaking hands with our
old friends, Johnnie Foster and Sam
Bunker, who are equally at home blast
ing in the lower levels, or mounted on
the hurricane roof of an untamed
broncho.
Before leaying the house we were
shown qrite a collection of free gold
specimens taken from their present
working in the old shaft. To say that
these specimens were rich would be but
a faint expression, for some contained
more gold than quartz, and picking them
out of the grand mixture of ore as it
goes to the mill Is at present Mr.. Hebert's
pleasant occupation. / say pleasant oc.
cupation, and so it would be ordinarily,
but just now Frank is nursing lame
back, (lumbago,) and it takes very rich
specimen to induce him to stoop over
and pick it up, which lead us to remark
that such is lifo, mo rose without a
thorn" But without wasting much
time moraliEing we proceeded to exam
ine the property.
The Clara Belle group consists Of FIVE
full claims of 800 by 1900 feet each, max
ing in the aggregate about so acres of
mining ground, with mill site and water
right attached. The mill is aTremain
of only two stamps, but is estimated to
do the work ofan ordinary 5 stamp mill.
1t was erected mainly for the purpose
Of demonstrating what could be done
with the free milling process on COM
mercial scale, which is found to extract
about $4,000 in gold per ton. But am
free to admit that when l examined the
rock, and saw it pounded and panned,
that my feelings were hurt to sec the
amount of rich concentrates that were
being wasted, and allowed to run away
down the creek. This feeling was IN
tensfied when came to look oyer some
certificates of assay which showed what
a large portion Of this ore actually con-
tains. These assay tests ran as follows.
Tests made by w. S. Robinson, chemist
and aSsayer of Omaha.

other, we'll defined and assaying hand.
somely. The foot wall is schistose
slate, and the hanging wall slaty ma
terial, mixed with quartz and iron py-
rites. So heavily is the hanging wall
laden with the pyrites, that painful on
being crushed and panned leaves the
pan half full of iron.
SOON TO SHIP GRAPHITE.
The Deadwood correspondent of the
Omaha Bee is authority for the statement
that the Copper Cliff Mining company
Of Ironwood, Mich, is soon to begin the
shipment of graphite to Chicago. A
ledge Of this material, over thirty feet
wide, has been opened up on the COM
panys property west of Rockford, in
Pennington county, next to the lines
stone range. 1t runs about 20 per cent
graphite and IA per cent silicate. The
company has recently purchased the
patent right for a new process Of purify
ing graphite from German company
and an old graphite plant has been pur-
chased at cost of about $4,000, in Chi.
cago. A patent has been applied for
the process in this country and it will
be installed first at Chicago. The plant
will have a capacity of nine carloads
per month and the company proposes to
supply it from the mine near Rockford.
The silicate in the ore is needed in the
process of refining the graphite. 1t is
stated that the company will soon be-
gin the shipment of copper ore to Dem
yer. A low rate has been secured over
the Burlington, which will admit of q
good profit on the shipment.

Leaving the mill we ascended the hill
and entered the shaft house. We found
it we'll equipped with track and car and
a good steel whim. This is sufficient to
sink to depth of 200 feet if there is not
too much water to interfere. 1t is prob
able, however, that steam hoist and
pump will be imperatively demanded
before the 200 foot level is reached. The
shaft is now 127 feet In depth. 1t was
sunk perpendicular to depth of 55 feet

south west, descending into the earth at
an angle Of about 55 degrees from a

present about seven feet thick of solid
quartz and is exceedingly rich, both in
free gold and high grade concentrate.
