A Bright Future.

No section of the serni-airid region
has a brighter future than the Black
Hills region. So says the Ft. Pierre
Fairplay In recent issue. Flanked by
slopes of marvellous fertility the Hills
themselves have not yet even been pros
pected much less developed. Twenty
years hence they will contain thousand
mining camps comprising a million peo.
pie and the adjacent valleys will raise
the food to support them. While the
cyanide process has cheapened the pro-
duction of gold, human ingenuity will
perfect other and still more economic
methods. Ore that cannot be handled
profitably even under existing conditions
will be marketable and the Black Hill 8
become still more entitled to the sobri-
quet, "the richest hundred miles square
in the world" Western South Dakota
has a future OF unexampIed brightness.
A happy combination of mines, foresto
and fertile soil will make it one Of the
greatest commonwealths of the Union.

work is being done by contract.
A rich body Of ore Is reported to have
been encountered at the Castle Creek

the interested parties says, vein almost
two feet wide was discovered.

THE GRANrz MINING CO.

The Pioneer-Times OF the 9TH inst. in
noting the return of Otto Grantz from
the Grantz Mining company's property
near Oreville, says, everything about
the mine is looking well. While at the
ground Mr.. Grantz started the men at
work on the thrse-compartment shaft
which will be sunk on one of the ore
shoots which show in the workings high
on the hillside for distance of'at least
800 feet, and when that depth has been
reached tunnel will be driven to con-
meet it with the surface. AS 1t Is al
present, the ore bodies are exposed
high on the hill, and the tunnels which
haye been following them go into the
ground on an incline, making the task
of getting out ore difficult. and besides
the distance down which it has to be
chuted and the steepness of the ascent
makes it almost impossible to handle il
in that manner before getting it to the
mill. While at Oreville Mr.. Grants
made arrangements for 100000 feet ol
lumber to be cut for use in repairing and
enlarging the mill, building shaft
house, use in tunnels and shaft and fol
residence and Office buildings. The
timber will also be cut on the company'i
own ground, which Is heavily wooded
with the finest kind of pine. These anG
other improvements the company in
tends to put on its ground this year, and
hope that within few months to have
everything in shape for starting up the
mill.

OLD BILL BONDED.

The Pioneer Times Of the 9Th inst. is
authority for the statement that the Old
Bill mine, seven miles northwest from
Custer, and from which the first free
gold specimens had been taken from a
quartz ledge in the southern Hills, has
been bonded by its owners, II. N. Ross
and others, and arrangements are being
made to begin operations on it at once.
On the ground there is one shaft of $50
feet and another of 60, while it has been
further opened up by number of short
tnnnels and drifts, exposing vein forty
feet wide. The vein which has been
opened is vertical, and free-miling
proposition, from which has been taken
some very rich ore, but the average
value runs from $40 to $lS per ton. The
people who have bonded the ground will
put on hoist at once and continue sink
ing in the deep shaft.
