Copper in the Black Hills.

A correspondent Of the Denver Post,
writing from Rockford under date Of
March Both. says: 1t was not until 1897
that mining men became convinced that
the numerous finds of rich copper ore
at or near the surface were more than
mere blowouts az had been held by
most OF the miners Of the Hills. Dur
ing the summer of '97 it was clearly
demonstrated that the old Theory was
entirely without foundation, and at the
present time there are no less than ten
companies at work, besides several pri.
vate parties. On Spring creek, ten
miles northwest Of Custer, there is a
good DIAL Of work being done by indivi.
luals and there are also two companies
operating in that district, the Copper
Butte and the Boulder Mining Compa.
MES with headquarters at Custer. The
latter is a new one, but already has I'M
covered a l0-foot vein of pyritic ore that
car be worked at a profit with suitable
reduction works on the ground.
The copper formations Of the Black
Hills are extensive. Commencing at a
point near Deadwood, they extend along
both the eastern and western extrem.
tiles Of the mineral belt, and can be
traced nearly the entire point of the
mineral region by the outcroppipgs,
which consist Of an iron gossan and
parallel veins Of ash AMI decomposed
matter or ore from which the metal has
been leached by chemical action. AT
water level, where this mass is not oxi.
died aud concentrated with the leach
ings from the metal above, rich ores are
found. In many places unleached or
unoxidized carbonates are found that
go from 10 to so per cent copper. These
ores occur in or with the gossan or Stag,
and in many places the gossan itself has
an assay value of from l to 5 per CEN
copper. There are usually five veins
running through the belt parallel with
the formation and they vary from 5 to
so feet in width. In most places along
the belt the veins are tied together by
cross veins of a talcy substance, which
usually carries copper. The foot walls
are in almost every instance a plunlbago
slate with Il hanging wall Of massive
quartziie. The formation is regular and
pitches IT an angle Of about 40 degrees.
The limestone being fat and irregular
in many places, Che copper formation is
covered by it.

Building a new Road.

"By January of next year." said a
Burlington official, "there will not be
left a vestige Of the old track between
Chicago and Omaha, except a few
stretches of five or six miles each. The
entire line for go miles west of Chica.
60, has been rebuilt except the stretch
of five miles near Ottumwa, and the
contract for this was awarded a few days
agd. 1t is estimated that the average
cost per mile OF the new track will be
in the neighborhood of 100000. Sew
eral steam shovels and about $50 men
will be given employment for more than
a year. In many places the original
right Of way has been abandoned and
the rails have been laid a mile, and in
some cases, a mile and a half away, from
their former position. 1t is likely that
a saving Of four or five miles in distance
between Chicago and the Missouri
river will be effected by the new track.
The principal Improvement for the
company, however, will be the elimina-
ton of curves and the reduction of
grades. The work now being done near
Murray is of enormous extent. The
cost will run into the millions of dol
lars. The present line Will be abandon.
ed for one which shoots straight over
the valleys and through the hills, MAX
ing a reduction of about three. quarters
of a mile in the distance and giving an
almost gradeless track"

about { Of an inch thick. While thus
engaged the cannon exploded, a piece
Of the pipe striking young Paul across

two inches long clear to the skull. The

tention Of Mr. Kleemann who found
him oon after in a senseless condition.
