Mining Items.

We gather from the Deadwood Mining
Review that ]. F. Harrington has bought
the Cuttysark mill and will reduce the
ore from his Fairview mine.
The Merrill stamp mill is somewhat Of
a departure from the old fashioned pat
tern, inasmuch as each stamp is isolated
and has single battery. This gives it
the advantage of an issue Oh three sides
instead of one and enables it to do double
duty, and delivers the pulp with mini
mum of shines. This is considered a
great improvement in preparing the ma
terial for the process of cyaniding and is
being adopted by many who contemplate
using that method. 1t is new mill and
is manufactured in San Francisco.
The Horseshoe company last week put
in the largest blast that has been explod-
ed in the Black Hills. They drove a
tunnel into the mountain 80 feet (from
the end of deep CUT they put in $500
pounds of black powder, then filed the
tunnel with rock and earth and fred the
blast. 1t is estimated that this shot
broke out 25 900 tons of ore which will
keep the mill running for over a month.
1t took about three weeks in preparation
and shook the mountain for miles around.

ent.
RADIUM
DR.. Charles r. Keys, scientist an
nounces that mine in New Mexico has
recently been discovered which contains
radium and uranium to the amount of 55
per cent. Our readers will understand
the importance Of this find when it is
learned that radium is the latest discov-
cred metal, and that it is worth one mil
lion dollars per ounce. 1t is a most
mysterious substance and little as yet is
known of its wonderful qualities. 1t is
luminous and constantly gives off heat
and light without any known source of
supply. 1t affects everything it touches,
and cannot be contained in anything ex
cept rock salt. 1t is said to cure cancer
and many of the diseases to which the
human family are afflicted, aud if hand
led carelessly and without the obser
vance of its laws it will destroy life. 1t
is the most powerful substance in the
world and for good or evil, or both it is
destined in the future to cut an import
ant figure in many departments of our
civilization

Near Forman.

The shooting Of Charles Christman
by Hayes Lewis at the Coleman farm
near Forman, is exciting much inter-
est. Christman is dead and his body
is at Oakes. He was a native of
Idaho, and about twenty-six years of
age. Lewis was captured in a big
swamp near the edge OF Sargent coun-
ty by the posse from Oakes. This
posse turned him over to Deputy
Sheriff Cassin of Sargent county who
took him to Forman and lodged him
in the county Jail. Hayes Lewis as
serted he was on his way to Oakes to
give himself up, and that he had hid

killed by the threshing crew, which

Hayes, who was formerly a school
teacher, has a sum of money on de-

that the latter was attacking him with

trouble is said to have started over

the farm. 1t appears that Lewis had

KILLED THEIR UNCLE
THREE VAN WoRMER BROTHERS
ELECTRoCUTED IN cLIN.
TON IN. W PRISON..

Dannemora, N. Y, Oct. 2.-Without
one untoward incident to mar the
perfect and dignified execution of the
death penalty imposed by the trial
court, sustained by the court of ap-
peals and not interfered with by Gov
ernor Odell, Willis, Frederick and
Burton Van Wormer were put to
death in fifteen and one-half minutes
at Clinton prison for the murder Of
their uncle, Peter A. Hallenbeck, at
Greendale, Columbia county, on Christ
mas eve, 1901. There was not one
sensational circumstance connected
with the execution. The men walked
from the doors of their cells in the
care of their priest and flanked on
either side by prison deputies with
calm demeanor but extreme pallor.
Father Belanger, picturesque
white haired figure, not in the robes
of his office, but in the every day
black frock coat of clerical cut, with a
little purple stole about the shoulders,
walked along with each of the con-
demned men in turn, saying words of
consolation.
Willis Van Wormer entered the
death chamber at 11:34:30, the cur
rent was turned into his body one
minute later and at 1887 he was de-
clared dead.
At 11:41:3O Frederick entered the
death chamber; at 11:42 the current
was turned on and he was declared
dead at 11:43:30.
Burton entered the death chamber
at 11:47, the current was turned on
at 11:47:30 and he was declared dead
at 11:48:30.
Father Belanger said after the exc
cution that the last hours of the men
were spent in exceeding quiet, with
the strictest attention to the spiritual
interests which were their sole con-
cern.

Prisoner Makes a Fierce Struggle
for Liberty but Is Taken to Jail and
Later to an Asylum.
Washington, Oct. GA desperate
hand to hand encounter with an
armed insane man who was deter
mined to see President Roosevelt oc-
Cured in the vestibule of the White
House shortly, before noon.
The man, who gave his name as Pc
ter Elliott and his home as Minneap-
oils, was overpowered by the officers
on duty at the White House entrance
and carried to police van which had
been summoned. He was placed in
the van in the custody of two officers.
Seeming to realize then for the first
time that lie was under arrest Elliott
began the furious struggle with his
captors for liberty. He drew revol-
YER from the right side pocket of his
trousers and attempted to shoot Off
Ger James Cissell. The officer grabbed
his hand and wrenched the weapon
from his grasp. Elliott's struggles
were so fierce, however, that the two
officers in the cramped quarters of the
van were unable to overcome him.
Officer Cissell then drew his revolver
and fired two shots to attract atten-
tion.
Chief Usher Thomas Stone and Off
Ger Parker of the White House force,
who had assisted in carrying Elliott
to the van, attracted by the shots,
rushed back to the vehicle and assist
ed in overpowering him.
In the struggle within the police
van Elliott had broken a glass panel
with his head, severely cutting his
head and face. Officer Cissell sus-
tanned serious cut on his right arm
After having his wounds dressed
Elliott was examined by police sur
geons and ordered confined in an asy-

London, Oct. 6.-The three weeks
cabinet crisis has ended in a manner
more remarkable and dramatic than
that of its inception. Mr.. Balfour's
new ministry affords a measure of the
enormous difficulty he has had to con-
tend with in the task of reconstruc-
tion, and it's composition SENS to indi-
cate that the premier himself can have
little belief of its durability. The
most sanguine supporters of the gov
ernment express the smallest hopes of
such an administration living many
months and the prevalent idea is that
there will be general election be-
fore parliament reassembles. The new
cabinet is composed as follows:
Mr.. Brodrick, secretary for India;
Austen Chamberlain, chancellor of the
exchequer; Alfred Lyttelton, secre-
tary for the colonies; H. o. Arnold
Foster, secretary Of war; Graham
Murray, secretary for Scotland; Lord
Stanley, postmaster general.

tion dealing with the fiscal problem,
