scab might appear in their iocks, were in
the majority. the objection OF the others
carried no weight.

MINING IN THE BLACK HILLS
Three undre Acres Just North of
HOmestake Bought by Denve
Capitalist.

DEADWOOD, s. D., March 23.-(Special.)
H. j. Mayham of Denver has bought 300
acres OF mining ground lying Immediately
to the north of the Homestake and the Hid
den Fortune. The purchase takes in the
columbus min and stamp mill, which be-
longed to William Lardner and Chris Ruth,
the Dalton group Of Gus Obery, the Buckeye
group to c. W. Carpenter, the Rosslter
Bros group and two acres OF John Muir
ray. The consideration is a little less
than 100000, and first payments, amount
ing to about one-tenth of the total, have
been made. Mr.. Mayham has obtained the
GROUND for a New York syndicate and steps
have been taken to organize the Columbus
Consolidated Gold Mining company, which
is to have a capital stock Of 81, 900, 900.
The property lies along the northerly ex-
tension Of the Homestake ore lodges, Join
Ing the Father DeSmet Of the Homestake
on the north and extending almost to Sheep
tail gulch on the north, where the vertical
formation ceases and the horizontal begins.
The owners Of the Columbus, Ruth and
Lardner have milled IL, 900 tons of ore in a
ten-stamp mill. 1t averaged them ABS a
ton. The Columbus is developed by a shaft
200 feet deep, in ore all the way. Accord
Ing to recent measurements there are 2OO,-
600 tons of ore blocked out on the different
levels OF the mine. The new company pro-
poses to replace the old hoist with new
equipment and to continue the shaft to the
500-foot level.
The Columbus could only be worked dur
Ing a small part of each year in the past.
owing to the absence OF water for milling
purposes. The owners resorted to every
means to obtain water and failed. During
the spring and in wet seasons the mine paid
handsomely. 1t is probable that the pur-
chasers will prepare to build their mills AZ
a distance from the mine in order to obtain
water. and will then haul their ore to the
mills This will be entirely feasible by
working the mine on an extensive scale,
as contemplated.
A hundred men have been engaged for
prospecting purposes at Ragged TOP. They
are in the employ OF w. II. Burrage and
others OF Boston, who have the bond op
over 1000 acres of ground, taking in the
Spearnsh and Deadwood- Standard conn
panies. The bond runs for sixty DAYS and
1t is the intention to explore the properties

1.-The revnue from the liquor licenses, as l
figure 1t. is equivalent to a tax levy of 10
mills" says Secretary Morris of the school
board. That is, II the liquor licenses are
abolished we would have to have a school
levy Of 80 mills instead of 20 mills to get
the present revenue. or course this is inn
possible just now because we cannot exceed
the limit fixed by law, and we are up to
the limit. The increase in the tax limit has
been forced to meet our floating debt, and
II we want to reduce these obligations we
will have to keep up our 20-mill levy next
year, and perhaps for several years, with
the liquor licenses continued. Cut of the
liquor license money, and the floating debt
would expand until some means were de-
vised TO raise by taxation an equivalent Of
the license money"
