Deadwood,. s. D., Aug. 15.-Sixty- eight
hundred dollars is the value Of the recent
cleanup at the Wasp No. mill on Yellow
creek. This brick makes the total pro-
duction Of the mill for the year almost
$4,000, an exceptionally good record when
it is considered that this gold is recovered
from ore that will scarcely average 81 to
the ton. Cheap mining and milling is the
secret of the Wasp No. rs success.
A shaft is being put down on the ground
of the Dizzy Mining company, three miles
from Garden City. AS soon as solid
formation is found the diamond drill will
be started. The company was organized
about two months ago by H H. Francis
of Custer, E. M. Thompson, G. J. Swan
strom and others of DeadWood.
It is asserted that the Penobscot Mining
company contemplates additional mill ia
cilities at Garden City. The present mill
is running al it's greatest tank capacity
and Is making money for the company.
In the meantime ore is being removed
from the richer shoots and shipped for
treatment at smelters, this ore being of
too high a grade for treatment by cyanide.
The development work Of the last year is
said to have revealed ore in such quaint
ties as to fully justify the building of an
addition to the mill. The president of the
company, Alexander Maitland of Negau-
nee, Nl1Cu., HIS O6eu III the Hills curing

ROCKFORD, S. D.-Ore was recently
discovered at the grass roots on the Bar
ker ground that adjoins the L. M. Kerney
property on the east, that gives an aver
age value Of S14.40 a ton in gold. It is a
true f1ssure vein and the ore is found to
increase In values as depth is attained.
The Castle Creek Mining company COM
posed OF Pennsylvania capitalists, has
struck a large body Of free milling ore in
tunnel that gives better than SIS ton
in gold. The face Of the tunnel is 1870 feet
below the surface
The Mystic district is believed to have
good future. It is interlaced with ore
veins that crop out at the surface in many
places. There is an abundance of timber
and water, and a new and up-to-date Gus
tom mill for the treatment Of ores.
LEAD; S. DIT is asserted that the
Horseshoe Mining company contemplates
starting up the large smelter at Rapid
City the early part Of September. This
is one Of the most complete smelling
plants In the west.
Rumors continue as to the probable
starting Of the Golden Reward smelter in
Deadwood on Sept. 1, but cannot be
traced to an authentic source. Harris
Franklin, the general manager, has said
on several occasions that only the prohibi-
tive freight rates on coke kept the smelter
imperative. man who is reasonably
familiar with the Golden Reward move
ments declares that it will be impossible
now to have the plant running by Sept. l..
It will require at least a month to unwater
the south mines of the company in Ruby
basin and prepare them for the production
of ore.

cream-colored silk, embroidered with
pearls and silver, over bodices of

further enhanced with dangling orna-

silver, the sleeves of material form

the highest engineering skill in the

PARTI-COLORED SHEEP.

In the Camaroon district Of Africa
are thousands Of remarkable sheep
and the Germans who have settled
there say that they are useful domes
tic animals. There are two species
one being black and white and the 9th
der white and yellowish brown, and
they all differ from the ordinary sheer
in the fact that they are covered with
short, smooth hair instead OF with
wool, the rams being the only ones
among them which have a thick fleece
around the neck. A few Of these ami
mails were recently imported into Ger
many, and are now attracting much
attention there.

For the benefit of the spinsteTs OF
this country, the census Office has made
a careful reckoning of the number Of
men in the various States of the Union
who are available matrimonially.
It finds that, in the aggregate, there
are 6,726,779 bachelors of 20 years OF
over. 1t makes record Of the remark
able fact that there are at present IN
the United States 100000 more single
men than single women Of that age
and above.
The exact figures are 1896, 446 maid
ems, so that the latter are in a minor
ity Of 1851 1888 In other words, there
are 1851 1888 unattached males who
could not possibly get wives unless
they fell back upon the widows or up
On girls under 90.
Now, this is a very surprising state
Of affairs. in view Of the belief which
has hitherto prevailed, that there WIS
in this country great surplus Of spin
sters who could not possibly hope to
obtain husbands, because Of the lack
of an adequate supply. 1t is proved
by the census office figures not only
that this notion was incorrect, but that
the surplus is actually one of bache-
lors Even when all Of the widows,
and the girls down to IL years Of age,
are taken into the count, there are not
nearly enough of them to go round.
New England has always been sup
posed to be overburdened with single
women, and yet the census reckoning
shows that there is not q State in that
group which has not more bachelors
than spinsters Even Massachusetts,
long declared to be the chosen home
and last resort Of the old maid, has a
slight oyerplus Of unmarried men, the
figures being 262, 932 single males,
against 277,711 females similarly stu
ated
Maine has COSTS bachelors, against
,790 spinsters; New Hampshire, 49,
713 bachelors and 80, 554 spinsters; Yer

where the available supply Of hus-
bands is relatively enormous. Just

there are 239,504 bachelors and only

The stress Of national riyalries is
probably too great for any language to
have the universally that French once
had in Europe. But if any tongue tri.
umphs, it is likely to be English. When
the Emperor of China telegraphed to
the Mikado Of japan a message OF
sympathy for the death Of relative,
he sent it in English, and the Mikado's
reply was also in English. English is
no doubt easier to telegraph than Chi
nese, but the selection Of English in
stead of some other European Ian
guage is significant.

A rich, self-made Chicago man has
put himself to a great deal Of trouble
to write book ending to show by sta
tistics and other facts that for pur-
poses of success in business the college
education is a failure Many OF the
college people are laughing at him
and beyond question he does go to the
extreme of an extreme At the same
time the man is honest, and the sound
idea in his book will bear fruit. There
is theory, says the Saturday Evening
Post, that the body can be properly
developed only by forms Of manual Ia
Dor which are otherwise absolutely use
less. Hence a boy scorns to learn
farming or gardening or a trade and
spends years in studying football, hand
ball, polo and billiards. There is Il
theory that the mind can be properly
developed only by forms Of mental Ia
Dor which are otherwise absolutely
useless. Let the ordinary college grad
uate honestly answer this question
Except for making 'front.'" how
much use have your Latin and Greek,
your analytical geometry and differen-
tial calculus, ever been to you? The
fact is that at the basis of much
sport and much higher education
lies the notion that there is superiority
in ability to do, or piausibly to profess
ability to do, what the mass Of man
kind has not had the leisure to learn to
do. AS the run Of humanity is secret
ly snobbish, the craving for ornaments
that are supposed TO constitute the

and impeding frilleries that are sup
posed to constitute the lady" would
perish indefinitely but for one msur-
mountable fact. That is-more and
more the world Is getting to be place

recognize the fact and to drop their
beloved, moth-eaten trappings of medi-
