DLAUN OOD O4AAOAN \ al
A Grand Success i'm Point of Attendance
and in Every Other Respect.
Hot Springs In Evidence.
The carnival passed off without ac-
cident of any kind writes a Deadwood
CORE spondent and the management
has received many compliments. 1t is
estimated that forty-five thousand
people came in the city during the five
days.
THERE'S no telling how much real good
has been done the Black Hills by the
carnival. The crowds of interested
people were very large and it was
class of people that wanted informa-
tion about the resources of the country.
Had the mineral palace been twice the
size it was, it would have been crowded
lust the same. Nothing like the eX-
hibits, for completeness, has ever been
gotten together in the Black Hills.
The Southern Hills attempted to sur
pass the exhibits from Lawrence
county and in some respects they did,
for there was greater variety of ma
terials shown. The rare substances,
like spodumene, wolframite, mica, mar
BILE, photographic stone, onyx, Fuller's
earth. fire clays, nickel ore and such
were exhibited from properties in the
vicinity of Custer, and they attracted
considerable attention.
The interest taken in the various ex-
hibits by the Colorado visitors was
very marked. There we're surprises on
every hand.
The mineral palace will beleft stand
ing for the summer and most all the
exhibits will be left just as they were
during the carnival. 1t is planned
now. by the mine owners to erect a
permanent building in Deadwood next
TALL, in which to display sample ores.
w. r. Cross, the Hot Springs photo
grapher, is present with views from all
parts of the Black Hills, from which it
is possible to obtain impressions of all
the principal cities, towns and points
of interest.
The Hot Springs Plaster company,
OF Hot Springs, of which James nj.
eBrelsford, formerly of Deadwood, is
the president, has space at the palace,
which is occupied with samples of the
crude gypsum, as it comes from the
quarry. and several sacks of the fin
ished plaster of paris or stucco, as it is
ready for the mixing. Mr.. Brelsford's
stucco plant is the most complete in
the Black Hills, and is capable of sup
plying not only the Black Hills, but
great portion OF the northwest with stuc-
cowhich is prepared by pulverizing and
calcining which drives off the volatile
substances. pulverizingit is reduced
to great fineness. IL it were simply
ground and calcined it would set al
most instantly upon being mixed will
water and submitted to the air, SO tina
in order to give the plasterers time t.

tifically, and it is possible to put it il
the desired form and place before
hardens.
