richness Of the Pennsylvania vein. Is being
worked more extensively than ever before.
Association Elects Omcers.
The Black Hills Mining Mems associa-
tion met last Thursday and elected a new
board OF directors for the ensuing year
as follows: John Blatchford, Terry; Rob-
ert H.. Driscoll. Lead; William S. Elder.
Deadwood; Harris Franklin. Deadwood;
Charles II. Fulton, Rapid City; John Gay,
yellow Greek; George NJ. Nix, Lead; J. e.
Pitcher, Custer City: S. w. Russell, Dead
wood. The annual report Of the treasurer
and secretary was read and showed the
association to be in a healthy condition
so far as membership and finances we're
concerned. The secretary's report showed
a membership Of 1877, every one Of whom
takes an active interest in the orgsniza-
tion, the membership being confined to no
particular camp or district, but divided
among all Of the Black Hills counties;
that the m on subscriptions had
collected the $4,000 guaranteed the Ameri-
can Mining congress, and that at least
$1,000 more was pledged to be used for the
Incidental expenses and entertainment OF
the congress when it will meet in Deadwood
and Lead in September Of next year; that
the association has been Of great benefit
to Investors in mining property, and has
been the bureau from which has been dis
tributed much valuable information con-
corning the Black Hills mineral resources.
The treasurer's report showed that the as
ISOLATION after having paid the expenses
Of the delegation to Butte and met other
obligations for considerable sums, still had
a balance OF STAB Numerous a%pplica-
lions for membership we're presented last
evening which will be acted on at the next
meeting, which will be held at Lead. The
various committees on entertaining the
American Mining congress made reports Of
progress, which showed that work in this
matter has already begun. 1t was the most
interesting meeting Of the organization
since 1t was organized one year ago.

There are only a few great copper pro-
ducers in the world today and for two Of
them-the United Verde and the Greene
Consolidated-Professor George A. Tread
well is responsible. He is about to present
the world with a third. which he thinks
will surpass both OF the others.
The GEORGE A.. TREADWELL MINING
COMPANY, which bears the Professors
name. owns a vast aggregation OF wonder
fully rich mining properties near the ia
nous United Verde on the Verde Copper
Belt and In the Big Bug District In Yavapai
County. Arizona. It's first smelter, Of one
hundred tons daily capacity, is ready to
start up, and It will be followed by other
furnaces until a capacity Of a thousand tons
or more a day is reached.
The ore is rich In gold az well as copper
and gives a net proht over and above the
entire cost Of mining and smelling of at
least $40 a ton. In some of the mines the
gold itself will pay the entire cost Of pro-
ducing the gold and copper. leaving the
copper cost-free.
The mines are already producing more
than enough to supply the present furnace,
and the ore production will increase faster
than It is possible to increase the furnace
capacity.
The company has a very low capitaliza-
tion considering its rich and extensive
properties-three million dollars. in shares
having a par value Of ten dollars-and Il
has a most able and efficient aAd in every
way admirable management.
None Of the stock isJor sale e1oept 10

amount is still open for subscription for
that purpose at sI4 a share.

Mnnchester TestIe Market.

MANCHESTER, Oct. Robustness In the
cloth market last week was quiet and hand
to mouth. The receipt OF the news concern.
ing the American coal strike had little
influence and was apparently counterbal-
anced by the dull demand for cloth from
the more important outlets and by the
uncertainty OF money in America. The
general inquiry was difficult to execute. In
order to keep looms running unremunera-
tive prices were accepted on goods suitable
for India. Nevertheless, the differences be-
tween buyers and sellers are slowly mar
rowing and there was a slightly hrmer
general tone. The inquiry from China was
unlmportanti there were some sorting up
purchases. The Levant and South Ameri-
can demands were fair and there was mod
crate miscellaneous business.
Inquiry for yarns was disappointing and
business was not up to the average. There
were some forward sales OF twist at favor
aole rates. Spinners appear to be in a
fairly strong condition.

Hunters After Bear.

PIERRE. s. D., Oct. 1s.-(Special. )-For
several years hunting parties have gone
out from this city to the vicinity Of In
terror, where 1t is claimed that bears are
yet to- be found in the canyons bordering
on the Bad Lands. While the hunters have
never yet brought back any bear, they
have sighted the game several times. but
the brush is so thick that they have never
yet secured a good shot. A letter was re-
ceived in this city a few days ago from
that section, reporting several large Gin
namop bears to have been seen a few days
ago, and another effort will be made in q
few days to get one or more of them.

II has only been lately that the high
grade ores of. the Hills have received at
~tention. and the small rich veins worked
extensively, SO that they figure in their
product but slightly in the grand aEgre-
gate Of gold produced by the country up
until the end OF last year. However, many
OF these small-vein mines are being worked.
and the ore treated IN different reduction
plants, so their product will help to swell
the output OF bullion for the present year.
which Is expected to reach at least $15,-
O00, 900.
The Pennsylvania mine. on Rutabaga
gulch. a branch Of Deadwood creek, is pro-
ducins some very rich ore, and has already
made one shipment to the Horseshoe smell
ter at Rapid City. The ore is a sylvanite.
and there Is about two feet OF It in the
twslve-foot vein that Is being opened up
on the ground. This sylvanite ore is very
rich. and specimens when submitted to the
roasting process are very pretty to look
at. Several pieces Of the ore which have
been roasted show the gold In surprising
quantities where before It was not visible,
the heat bringing the gold to the surface
In blisters which fairly cover the rock.
This small streak In the vein is exceed
lngly rlch. but the other ore in the ledge
carries pretty high values also, averaging
about SIS to the ton. In the same vicinity
Of Pennsylvania, and adjoining II, is the
Red Cloud group Of claims. which has
opened up the same vein. and Is now de-
v~eloplng II. but the ore in the Red Clouds
does not carry the same high values as
foes that which occurs in the Pennsyl-
vania. II Is thought. however. with a little
more work the ore will improve. The Big
Four company. which owns a group OF
claims in the district. also has what is
supposed to be the Pennsylvania vein. and
is working a large force OF men developing
Il. The ore here carries good values. and
IL considered a fair grade Of shipping ore.

Farmer Cnnnot BE Found.

SIOUX FALLS. S. D., Oct. 1~s.-(speciaI.)
Considerable uneasiness exists as to the
whereabouts Of Henry Leutz. a prominent
farmer, who disappeared from his home
north OF Punished Woman's Lake, in the
extreme northeastern part of C~odington
county, about a week ago. 1t appears tina
for several days prior to his disappearance
he worried a great deal over his inability
to secure a crew to do his threshing. and II
is believed in some quarters that this af-
fected his mind and that he wandered
away while temporarily insane.

West Point wins by small Margin.

WEST POINT. Neb., Oct. 1~9.-Cspecisl
Telegram)-The West Point militia eleven
today defeated the Herman Cyclones by
a score of S to 5. In the first half West
Point advanced to within eight yards of
their opponents goal, but was held for
downs and by degrees forced onto their
own territory. A forty-yard run by Piper
netted Herman's touchdown. No goal was
kicked. In the second half the teams
swayed up and down the field and within
ten minutes of the close of the game West
Points terrific line plunges and end runs
carried the pig skin across the goal. Bau-
man kicked goal and the score was s to g..
where 1t remained. Quarterback Bauman's
work was the feature. Referee, Bramhall

NO PIE FOR SCHOOL GIRLS.
Cut Dat of the Luncheon Menu I'm
Baltimore sehooIs.

A crusade is being made by superintend.
emit Van Sickle against the use OF pie BY
the pupils in the public schools OF Balti-
more. He does not try to prevent the
pupils from eating pie at home, but he IL
trying to prevent the sale Of pie by the
caterers at the schools.
A few days ago Isaiah Nixon, who has
had the privilege Of selling lunch to the
young women at the Western High school
applied for a similar privilege at the East
ern High school. The application was
made to the school board. The president
Of the board turned to the superintendent
and inquired what sort OF a caterer Nixon
was and II the extension OF his privilege
could be made with a due regard for the
public interest.
II certainly think So" replied the super
intendent. Nixon has given us a good
menu. and has been especially obligine
when we have asked him to eliminate GER
tain Objectionable articles from the bill OF
fare. He has even cut out pie. He cut
It out without a murmur."
The board unanimously agreed that a
lunchman who was 80 brave as to cut pie
out OF a school lunch was a hero and II,
therefore, resolved to extend the privilege.
Mr.. Van Sickle is a New Englander. and
was. therefore, thought TO have venera-
ton akin to his respect for Plymouth Rock
for that Yankee institution known as pie.
He gives the following reasons for his
stand:
Pie" said Prof. Van Sickle. 80 outside
the plane Of diGestible food. particularly
the crust. and especially when only thirty
minutes are allowed to consume IL In, as
In the case Of the girls.
Besides" he continued. II was further
encouraged In my determination to exclude
pie as a factor in the lunches at the request
OF = number OF the intelligent mothers OF
the girls who were opposed to pie eating At
lunch time"
