Hold Up BY rruat.

Custer, S. D., June 12.-There has
been a great deal Of speculation here
as to the reason of the shutting down
of the mica mines. There are many
mines that would pay better than gold
If a market could be found for the prod
uct. 1t is now learned that the mines Of
Custer county are mostly in the hands
Of trust and that the output is being
controlled. The Black Hills Porcelain,
Clay & Marble company of Detroit,
which owns two large mica mines, has
called special meeting of the directors
of the company in Chicago, to consider
a proposition Of a large purchasing
firm, to take the entire output Of both
mines. Over 200 tons of mica is stored
IN the bins of one Of the mines ready
Tor shipment, which will bring from
$40O to 5000 per ton. The business men
here are taking steps to break the COM
b1ne in some way SO that the small
owners can get rid Of their product.
