Bunker Hill and Sullivan company to
remove the hoist from the surface, and
place it on the 800. Thus 500 feet Of
hoisting and pumping will be saved, and
the present machinery will enable the
company to sink 500 feet further, or
1000 feet below the surface.
Shipping concentrates IL still the great
problem before the company. They
have tried the route to Pendleton and
also that to Whitney. A portion Of the
product Of the mine still goes both ways.
The large force Of men at work on the
roads early in the fall had to be laid of
during winter because Of the snow. A
depot Of concentrates has been estab-
lished at Thomas ranch, from which
poin, the company has been hauling the
remainder Of the way over the snow.

NEW CYANIDE PROCESS


DR.. J. A. Ogden, an assayer and
chemist Of Deadwood, $. d., has been
issued u patent for II process whereby
gold in cyanide solution may be- precipi-
tated without the use Of zinc dust or
shavings.
| DR.. Ogden accOmplishes the precipita-
ton by the union Of other chemical
solution. The effect il instantaneous.
The gold solution changes from clear
liquid to u dark muddy hue. As the
union is made an agitation il kept up, to
more effectively bring the gold solution
and the precipitating chemical together.
After the union has been accomplish
ed the values are obtained by II few
hours settling, when the precipitates
are caught after passing off the pure
water, or by hltering. The latter is
much more quickly effected and il
equally satisfactory. The preciptates
are then in the form Of black paste.
This in passed over II moderate heat to
drive off the moisture, and il ready then
to bc melted into bullion, which is ac-
complishcd in the ordinary way.
Numerous demonstrations have been
made before Black Hills mining and mill
men, these being conducted in II small
way,
Arrangements are being made to give
the process II trial ina commercial way.

The Bonanza mill at Gciser il now
dropping 20 stamps on ore extracted
since the time the crOsscut from the
main shaft has penetrated the lead.
Five stamps were started first, but the
accumulation Of milling quartz became
10 great, it was found necessary to have

operation.
A crosscut from the $50 foot level of
the main shaft, whicl, has been sunk Ia

penetrated the ore body, proving that
the wonderful pay zone Of ore, which on
the upper levels made this mine 30

but that il goes down to unknown

There is more pleasure in recording

several reasons.

fact that il lifted more than one person

ure failed. 1t is now intimated
that an arrangement has been eff
fected between the shipping COM
bine and the larger shippers BY
virtue of which the latter will
share in the tolls exacted from the
smaller shippers, and that the
Morgan lobby in Washington is
responsible for the defeat of the

For bitter charges and acrimo-
NOUS invectiyes, the territorial
fight, which was opened up in the
Senate Yesterday, by the taking up
of the territorial bill, and which
has been waged for week in lobby
and committee room, promises to
surpass anything which has lately
taken place in the Senate. Senator
Quay, who is determined to press
the bill and secure the admission
to statehood of Oklahoma, Arizona
and New Mexico, is being charged
by his colleagues with commercial
ism and self interest, and ugly
stories are being circulated in re-
gard to the ownership of an Ari-
IONA mine by Senator Penrose's
brother. Senator Quay is also
charged with owning railroad prop
critics which would be enhanced in
value by the admission Of the ter
ritories, and admits the authorship
Of a letter stating that it would be
better for the territories to 90
Democratic in order that the Dem
ocratic minority in the Senate be
preserved solid for admission.

NEWS FROM WASHINGTON.
There is little doubt, in thu
minds of those in position tt
know, that the President has mad.
q grave error in connection witt
the Japanese ministry, he having
announced that he would appoint
Mr.. John Barrett, now minister tc
Siam, to succeed Minister Buck,
resigned. The appointment meets
with no favor from the Japanese
minister in Washington, who has
been led to believe that Mr.. Bar
rett is very lightweight states
man, and the appointment has in
cured the enmity of Senator Han
ma, whose candidate for the posi-
ton was Lloyd G. Griscom, now
minister to Persia. Mr.. Hanna's
close intimacy with the Griscoms
is well known, and this affront
from the President, which also in.
wolves his nearest friends and sup
porters, will not be easily forgiven
by the Senator from Ohio.
The Presidents recent letter, in
which he stated his determination
to consider the fact that because a
man was negro as no bar to his
holding Office, is already making
him trouble, and he is face to face
with very unpleasant dilemma.
He has been put in his present po-
sition bySenatorP ritchard of North
Carolina, high priest of the ''Lily
White" movement. The question
of reappointing Wick, a negro, as
postmaster at Wilson, N. c., has
come to the President for decision.
and Senator Pritchard has filed an
protest. His grounds
are twofold-that Wick bitterly OPP
posed the Senator's plans in the
state convention, and that his ap-
pointment would be unwelcome to
a majority of the patrons of the
postofice. Wick frankly admits
his opposition to the Senator's
plans, which he says contemplated
he exclusion of the negro from
North Carolina politics, and says
he argument that a majority of
he white persons would prefer a
white postmaster, would prove
equally true of everv public office
n the Southern states. The Pres
dent has asked time to think the
natter over, and the politicians
re interestedly awaiting his de-
;ision.
