BIG GOLD OUTPUT.
Wealth of Black Hills Shows No Sign
of Diminution.


HOT SPRINGS, S. D., Oct. 5.-(SpeciaL)
The gold output of the Black Hills for
the year of 1901 almost doubles that of
any previous year, it being $1S 600, 000
against $4,000, coo last year.
The mica and tin mines are looking up.
Articles of Incorporation have just been
fled with the secretary of state at Pierre
for the United States Mica Mining and
Milling company, with a capital of $780,
COO. The incorporators are: Frank w.
Jones, Wilson League and T. F. Estes.
The first work on the new cyanide
plant, which is to be put up by the
Homestake company at Contra was done
last Tuesday. The grading is started and
the plant will be well under way before
winter weather begins. The plant is to
have q capacity of 600 tons, and will ac-
commodate all tailingS from the Home
stake mills on the other side of the HILL
that is the Father de Smet, Caledonia
and the Deadwood-Terra mills. The plant
is to be modelled after the large cyanide
mill, with a few improvements which
have been suggested by experience with
the old mill The work will be steadily
carried on until the plant is completed,
and Central people are much encoura ged.
A new fifty-ton cyanide mill is also
under way at Yellow Creek. There is a
quantity of ore along the belt that car
ries enough gold to make the treatment
by cyanide a profitable business. The
Yellow Creek plant, which has been in
operation for year now is proving a

The Clara Bell mine, near Custer is
surprising everyone with it's richness. Mr.
Frank Herbert, who is principal owner
of the mine, took to Deadwood last week
q retort from the little Tremaine mill on
this property. The retort represented a
weeks run at the mill and weighed ten
pounds. It was assayed in Deadwood,
melted into a bar, and for which Mr..
Herbert was paid. The mill has been
running steadily for several months, and
Il turning out gold rapidly. The ore
carries a high percentage of concentrates
and the tailings are being saved with a
view to working them over. 1t has not
been determined yet by what process they
can best be worked, but it is likely con-
centrating machinery will be purchased.
Work on the North Star Minis is pro-
crossing satisfactorily. The shaft has
been sunk 300 feet, and lateral work on
the vein begun. 1t is the intention of
the company to erect twenty-stamp

"PRoF." SNOW ARRESTED.
Alleged CIairvOyant Seized by Of
fceHs Mt Goshen, Ind.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Oct. 6.-(Special.)
Prof. Snow, who in Omaha was known
as prof. Vance, and who swindled
great many people in the t-o cities out
of a considerable amount of money
through his alleged clairvoyant powers,
has been arrested at Goshen, Ind, on
information wired by the authorities in
this city. Sheriff Huston left today to
bring Snow back to the state, when he
will be tried on the charge of grand
larceny. States Attorney Scott has gone
to Pierre for the purpose of securing the
necessary requisition papers.
Word has been received that Snow pro-
poses to make a "bluff' against being
brought back to South Dakota. Since his
arrest Friday night he has repeatedly
declared that he has never been in South
Dakota in his life, and insists that he is
innocent of any wrongdoing. He has en-
gagged an attorney, and seems to think
that he cannot be identified as the man
who was here. He, however, declines to
state where has has been for the past
two. weeks, and the general opinion at
Goshen is that he is without question

BUFFALO RANCH IN S. d.
Largest Herd in Existence Belongs
to "ScOtty' Phillips.

SIOUX FALLS, S. D., Oct. 6.-(Special.)
The herd of buffalo owned by "Scotty''
Phillips, a ranchman who lives on the
west side of the Missouri river in the
central part of the state, is attracting
a great deal Of attention, and hundreds
of people make the journey from the
nearest railroad point to see what is the
largest herd of these animals in exist
ence on the American continent. Phillips
intends, after the animals become tame
enough not to become alarmed at the
sight of persons on foot, to make a.
business of exhibiting them to the public
at a nominal charge. In order to make
the herd readily accessible to the people
living in the towns east of the river, he
will establish a stage line between his
ranch and the nearest railroad point
The herd formerly belonged to Fred Du-
pree, an old French "sQuawman" who
expended large sums of money in gath
ering the animals from all parts of the
Northwest. Mr. Phillips paid $500 each
for the fullbloods, of which there are
CiXty. In addition to these, the herd con-
tains thirty or forty half and quarter
breeds. Phillips owns 200 acres of land.
all Of which is fenced and in this space
the buffalo are permitted to roam about
at viii. The fence posts are as large as
telegraph poles and are set only five feet
apart so that the animals cannot break
through The fence is seven feet high
and is constructed of heavy woven wire
with three barbed wires on top.

sLUICED OUT AN OLD BADGE.
Relic of Ante-Bellum Plays Disturbed
After a Sleep of 80
Years.

A. F. Graeter found a relic of the cam
paien of 1860 in the sluice boxes of the
Graeter dredge boat at Bannack few
days ago while cleaning up, and it is
surely worth place in the cabinet of
curios. 1t is evidently made of copper
and is about the size of 25-cent silver
piece. On one side is the name of
Stephen Douglas. with a wreath and
the date 1860. On the reverse side the
name Of Herschel V. johnson appears
and also the date and wreath. On either
side a die had been sunk into the metal
which would lead to the inference that
a picture of each of the men formed a
part of the b adge.
1t was evidently brought to Montana
by one of the early day miners of Ban
mack. who probably lost it while ground
sluicing over thirty years ago. The
badge is rusty and dull from it's long
burial, but the lettering is as eligible
as the day it was made.
Mr.. Graeter is having the relic cleaned
up and will wear it as watch charm,
a use to which it was evidently once de-
voted, as a whole is drilled through it,

Located in the little, but progressive,
town of Gebo. situated in Carbon coun.
ty, about IS miles from Billings, on the
Bridger branch of the Northern Pacific
railroad. is the property of the Clarke
Fork Coal Mining company, which bills
fair to be one of the most valuable coal
properties in the state.
The Gebo mine was discovered and
located in 1896 by Thomas Smith o.
Joliet. and John and Richard Dunn of
Red Lodge. S. w. Gebo, a practical
miner of large experience, acquired the
property when it was nothing but g
mere prospect. With his own limited
capital he developed the prospect to
point which demonstrated that it could
be made one of the greatest coal mines
In the west. Then he succeeded in in.

AN IMMENSE CYANIDE PLANT.
Has Been Added to the Reduction
Works Of the Homestake
Company

The Homestake company. operating at
Lead. South Dakota, has cyanide
plant having capacity of 1900 tons of
ore per day. 1t is said to be the largest
In the world, but even at this it is not
too large for the company. The Home
stake is doing business on an immense
scale. In addition to the cyanide plant
It is operating about 600 stamps and
paying its shareholders regular divi-
dends. The ore is free milling gold of
low grade, but there is no limit to 1t.
The first mill built by the company con-
tanned so stamps but that was % years
ago. At that time the extent of the ore
body was not known. A few years of
development. however, showed that tho
ore was inexhaustible and three or four
more mills of 100 stamps each were
erected and have been doing duty ever
since.

BELT MANS VIEW on TAMPING.
He Says It Is Not Necessary and,
Besides Is Very DAN
Qer0lls.

r. H. Bemis of Belt, this state, is one
of the few miners who do not believe
in tamping giant powder or dynamite in
a hole. In regard to it he says:
I'm a varied experience of twenty
years in Montana. l spent eight of them
in working as quartz miner, and I
have always maintained that tamping
of any kind on dynamite or giant DOW
der was superfiuous, and have proved
my theory on many occasions in work.
ing with partners who insist that lamp
ing was necessary to obtain the full
effect of the powder. AS far as could
be judged, the visible effect was the
same in all kinds or rock, with the pow-
der tamped or untamped. My mining
experience commenced without any
prejudice in this matter, engendered by
a former use of black powder, and I am
inclined to think that this is the reason
who so many miners Of long experience
still cling to the habit of tamping, it
having become habit through the use
of the black pawder.
While it has been my experience that
not one valid reason can be advanced
why dynamite should be tamped, there
are many reasons why it should not.
First and foremost. safety to the work.
man; missed holes are q common oc-
currence. and very little risk is en-
countered in going into a missed hole
that is not tamped. as 1t Is only Sec
onds work to remove the fuse and cap
and insert another. This reason alone
is sufficient to command the practice
to any intelligent miner. I will state
that 1t is my practice to insert rag
in the mouth of the hole. in order to hold
the fuse and also keep the dirt from fill-
ing the hole. There is also a large saw
ire of time in loading a round Of holes.

The term surface" does not mean
that no shafts have penetrated the outer
crust of the earth, but signifies that
while shafts have been sunk they have
not been carried deep enough to demon
strate the prevailing belief that large
ore bodies lie below the earth's crust
at that point. In one place shaft has
been sunk to a depth Of over 400 feet,

its bottom would not be more than 200
