ENCOUNTERS FREE COPPER.
At q depth of nearly 700 feet In an in.
cline shaft the Black Hills Copper com.
pany has encountered ore that carries
free copper in fakes of considerable size,
says Deadwood special Of recent date.
The shaft has been following down big
ledge of copper and gold ore OF low
grade, and it has been growing better rs
depth has been attained. The bottom
Of the shaft is now close to the water
leye1, and the grade OF the ore Ia getting
to be rich enough to treat at q profit.
The company has already demonstrated
that the big lodges of ore that are found
In the western portion Of Pennington
county, have depth. 1t has also demon
strated conclusiyely that copper is to be
found in high enohgh grade to work
profitsbly at depth of from 200 to 500
feet. In some places in the Hills the ore
is rich enough at the surface as 10 the
case at the Blue Lead mine, at Sheridan.
The average per cent. OF the copper ore
found in the Black Hills Copper com.
pany's shaft is better already than that
OF the Calumet Hecla mines in Michigan.
The hackers of this Black Hills company
are Michigan men who have made for
tunes in copper in their own state. They
are planning the erection Of largo
smelling plant in the near future.

To Save Life at Fires.

~N WEDNESDAY last, at a
great fire in an uptown New
~ York apartment house, at
least score Of lives were
saved by the new life-net of the fire
department of that city. Men and
women whose retreat through the
blazing buildings was cut off. and who
could not descend on the fire escape
because of out rushing flames and i'm.
penctrablv black smoke. jumped from
the heights some of them from the
sixth story--into the life-net held by
half n dozen fremen and escaped with
out injury. Many Others were saved
by scaling ladders.
The net. as described. 'is circular.
about twentyfour feet in circumfrr-
ence--that Is, about eight feet
in diameter-and is attached to
metal rim by springs" The
device. we think. is a new one
in this country: although 1t Is
very singular, indeed. that it should be
so, since for many years they have
been in use in London and there found
of the utmost value in saving life.
Every fire department ought to be
thoroughly equipped with life-saving
appliances.
