West Of Hin City.
HOT SPRINGS, s. D.-A new strike,
which is said to be immensely rich. has
been made in the vicinity Of the old Ben
gal Tiger, about six miles west Of Hill
City.
At the close Of 1902 the product Of the
mines and mills in the Black Hills win
amount to sl,000,000 a month, This is In
accordance with the reports Up to date.
Several new men We're added to the
force of the Black Hills Porcelain Clay
and Marble company's mica mines. Al
together about eighteen or twenty men
are employed by the company. Regular
shipments are made monthly.
The stocks in the mining companies OF
the Hills are almost universally advanc-
ing, while the tendency in most all of the
other mining camps is towards a decline,
The veins of mineral in this section are
as rule large, continuous and perrna-
ncnt. d
Work on the smelter which is being
built on the Lillian (the Raxter ground)
group at Sheridan. is reported to be pro-
crossing rapidly, the masonry work hav-
ing been completed and, carpenter work
begun. The sn1elter will be Of 100 tons
capacity to start with, and should it prove
successful after a trial run, it may be en-
IVA
such contingency.
The Ivanhoe Gold Mining and Milling
company has resumed work and Is sink
ing the shaft as rapidly as possible and
expects to be able to take out carload
of shipping ore in the near future. The
ore shows an average value OF Sl9 ton
and some gave as high as $50.
The Chilkoot district is the only district
Of the Hills that closely remembles the
Cripple Creek district of Colorado in geo.

and investors in this property will have
excellent chances, equal to any Other

Commercial Railroad Sought Right Of
Way In the Streets.

MADISON, WIs.-The supreme court to-
day declared the IT, franchise granted
to the Milwaukee, Burlington & Lake
Geneva railroad by the Milwaukee COM
mon council to be null and void. Judge
Tarrant's decision Of last June is af-
frmed, and the council is declared to have
exceeded it's authority in the matter.
After the council granted the. franchise
several property holders along the pro-
posed broadway line instituted quo war
ranto proceedings for the purpose of test
Ing the statutes The action was COM
menced by the Vilter Manufacturing com
pany, the National Knitting Works, the
Mary Seaman estate, and John Neinecke.
The contention was that the proposed
railway was commercial railroad, and
was not formed for street railway pur-
poses and therefore could not be granted
a franchise as street railway company.
1t was this contention which was held
to be correct by Judge Tarrant in his de-
cision in the matter. in which he declared
the franchise was void ..

been identified with the famous Stinson
land case, one or the most Important
