MINES AND MINING; .;;<%:~ IN THE NORTHWEST
tp,TrD ~
B. {. ST. Charles
3

The country was part Of the great Sioux
Indian reservation and it was not until
after the government bought the Hills
that men were permitted to mine. In 1876
quite a number of miners working the
rich placers We're rounded up by SOL
dierS and taken to Fort Laramie, q dis
lance of about 200 miles. but the majority
of them left the post between days and
returned to the land of gold.
Deadwood gulch was the most prolific
source of placer gold in that seCtioS,
and from 1876 to 1873 the circulating mel
ium of the entire district was yellow dust
from the gulch. The Homestake ecom-
pany was about the first corporation to
demonstrate the quartz possibilities Of
the Hills. 1t built 60-stamp mill in
1873 and after. satisfying itself that It had
good property several more larger ,mills
We're built from time to time The fcon-
pany was backed by such we'll known
mining men as ]. B. Haggin and HIS as
sociate, Mr.. Hearst, who had unlimited
capital at their command. Samuel Nc
Masters was general manager for the
company and a better man to handle
such gigantic enterprise could not have
been found. McMasters managed the
property until about 1893. when he died
of Justification Of the spine. The future
Of the company was at that time. how
ever. assured. McMasters was succeeded
by Thomas ]. Greer, who has been at the
helm ever since and has prosecuted de-
velopment with vigor and good judy
ment. Mr.. Greer has recently added
1904 tn cyanide plant to the series of re-
duction plants, since which very little
gold has escaped in the waters of Gold
&.hjo fc has hnnn
ing away the red tailings.
The Black Hills comprises great
country in more ways than one. They
have an area Of about 5000 square miles
and their limit is marked by sharp
ridge Of sandstone from 800 to 500 feet
high. Their altitude is from $500 to
$500 feet. Ten geologic ages are repre-
sented in their formation, only two of the
universal elements being required to
make the whole complete. Nearly every
mineral known to mineralogists Is fDund
within their classic confines.
one great trouble in bringing the Hills
to the front in a mineral way has sbeen
the backwardness of capital in taking
hold. If the same mining conditions
existed in Montana that prevail in the
Hills mining company would be work
ing on every ten-acres Of ground. Here
the surface indications are doubtful in
places, but there they are good every
where. Some of the best looking pros-
poets in that country have had nothing
| more than the assessment work done on
! them, and many have not even received
| this much consideration. These claims
are being held by men who know little
or nothing about mines or mining, and
would not attempt to open them up even
| if they possessed a thorough knowledge
Of it all. They are simply waiting TO,
| someone to offer them a fancy price thai
| they may sell and 60 back to their form
I er eastern homes.
