Mining Items.

humOr mas IL tnat preparations are
being made by Chicago parties TO work
the old Bill mine seven miles northwest
from Custer, owned by Fl. N Ross. The
mine is said to have been bonded until
next May.
The report ONES from Deadwood that
the Golden Reward Mining company
will soon m the erection of a
200.ton cyanide plant on the site of the
c~hlorination works, which were Destroy
ed by FIRE about a year ago.
F. c. N. Graydon this week purchased
the entire hosting plant formerly in use
at the Vieilante mine, consisting of
hoist, pumps, pipes, buildings, ETC., etc.
We understand that the plant will be
removed to the Mayfiower property.
From w. w. Challis, one OF the own
ers OF the Chilcoot mine eight miles east
of town, we learn that the shaft on the
Chilcoot is now down 175 feet. At pres
emf the parties who have the property
under bond are drifting along the vein
from this level, and the ore encountered
is said TO be of an excellent quality.
Mr.. G feels confident that the Chilcoot
will become a producer in the near fut-
ure.
a NEW ORGANIZATION.
The Saginaw Mining Company has
been organized by G. G.. Curtis, Of Vas
sar. Mich, and l.. c. Holland Of Saginaw,
Mich. Both men are directors of the
Black Hills Porcelain Clay and Marble
Company. The new company has pur-
chased three claims, located five miles
northwest of Custer, and owned by B.
r. Wood anil T. f. Mclaughlin Of that
city. Three separate veins of white
quartz ore run through the claims, and
very rich assays haye been obtained,
some Of them as high AS $500 per ton,
free milling. A general average of the
ore is placed at $40 per ton. The com
pany is capitalized at 81 800 900, at 81
per share The company will com
mence developing the best vein imme-
diately with a deep shaft.-Black Hills
