Iron Gaping Over Copper Mines.
Communicated

N--N-N'N--~NNNNNN'
The iron cap of copper bearing veins
is ordinarily limonite iron ore, occa-
sionally hematite. Where hematite
or limonite. the latter being sometimes
known as gossan forms the Gaping, it is
the result Of oxidization of pyrite and
chalcopyrie, the sulphur disappearing
into the atmosphere and the copper
teaching out as sulphate to be precipit-
ated about the permanent water level of
the ore body. In region where cop
per is known to exist, it is always safe
to prospect into any iron groupings that
exist in search of copper ores.
AS matter Of fact, a majority Of the
rich copper mines of the world today,
have been found under iron cappings,
the copper has been leached out by the
action of the sulphuric acid produced by
the decomposition of the iron and sui
phur which caused the copper to leach
and pass down through the vein, to what
is termed water level, where it was then
re-deposited in fact we cannot call to
mind a single exception to that rule,
where the ores have been oxidized near
the surface.
The richest copper deposits of ofArizona,
Nevada aud Utah, have been found un-
der iron cappings; in some cases it was
only necessary to sink from one hundred
to two hundred feet to get below the
leacbing action; in other cases it has
been necessary to 60 down several hun
dred feet, and in exceptional cases to al
most thousand feet, to get the ores in
their normal condition, but where the
gossan or iron is very porous in the i'm
mediate vicinity of any copper deposits,
ninety times out of hundred rich cop
per deposits will be found under the
cappings.

The Northern papers all predict that
there will be the greatest building boom
in Deadwood this year that the city has
ever known. This is predicted on the
many buildings which are already uE-
der contract, and the many more in the
hands of the architects, who are draft
ing plans for their construction. Dead.

from wide area and its business is no W
established on broad and sure founda-
tion. 1t is here 100 the miner goes to
purchase his supplies, the farmer to sell
his produce, and the cattle man to sell a
good portion of his beef and they al go
Deadwood to have a good time and
spend their money. And how about our
own town Of Custer? Well, Custer has
all the resources of wealth, beauty, hap
piness and prosperity, and will reap all
of these as soon as she puts forth an in
telligent effort to utilize the blessings
that lie at her door. She must prove to
the world that she has the elements OF
growth and prosperity within her, and
she will do that some day when she
wakes up.

The Monroe doctrine is much talked
of in these days, but from the writings
of some one who has been pouring DER
the midnight oil, reading up the history
of North and South America We are told
this. 1t was King Ferdinand of Spain
that first declared that doctrine, for
when Spain first claimed all the country
it was this King that first declared that
no nation of Europe should ever acquire
any land on either North or South
America. He even went further than
this and declared that the ships of no ma
tion but that of Spair should ever sail
upon the Pacific ocean.

of large veins covered by an iron cap.
In Pennington county there are several
between Pactoa and Rapid City, near
Sheridan, to the north along the great
Blue Lead copper mine, and about! five
miles in Il southwest course from l.och-
ford, also on the head waters Of Spring
creek in Custer county in the vicinity
of Custer, and near Pringle. But the
greatest Outcrop Of iron Gaping formed
in the Hills, is four miles south of Key
stone, in both Custer and Pennington
counties; here the porous iron cap
covers about one hundred acres in one
place. 1t is situated on what is known
as Iron Mountain, which rises above its
surroundings about one thousand feet.
On the northeast side Of the t;iorntain
in driving a short tunnel, a small vein
Of copper ore was struck, which dips di.
rectly toward the great vein underneath
the iron cap, proving almost conclusive
ly that it is an off-shoot from the main
vein, which will without doubt prove to
be great copper mine. Now is the
time for the owners of these veins, COW
cred by the iron cap to open up and de-
velope them, and show what they really
have. The d. & ID. smelter at Dead
wood, and the National smeter at Rapid
City, are both dependent upon the cop
per mines of Montana for their supplies
Of copper ores for fiuxing the ores treat
ed by them.
1t is not probable that any deep shafts
will have to be put down to reach the
water level on the iron capped veins; /;
from fifty to three hundred feet will
reach water level at any point in the
Hills. SIS.

Obituary.

VIM. J. Cannon was born in Tennes-
see March 10th, 1918, died in the Sisters
hospital at Hot Springs, South Dakota,
March 18th, 1908, aged 80 years, IL
months and 2l days. The funeral ser.
vices were held at the Methodist Epis-
copal church in Custer, at Up. m, March
10, Rev. w. X. Jeffrey, Jr., officiating.
The deceased and his wife came to
Custer some time during the year 1893,
taking up homestead some six miles
west of town. He leaves wife and one
son, Elmer Cannon, who resides in
Sheridan county, Mo. Mr.. Cannon has
quite war record. Fought in the Texas
war for Independence, the Mexican war,
enlisted in Co. f., 7th Iowa Cavalry,
December 81, 1868, was discharged May
7th, 1866; and also served as Indian
scout and government interpreter for a
number OF years, spending a greater
portion of his long life upon the wss-
tern plains. He was mustered into
Gen. Steele Post &C. A. r. January 23
1899, and was member i'll good stand
ing at the time Of his death. Members
of the G. A. II. post did their fallen COM
rade honor by acting as pail bearers, 60
ing in body to the place of service
having the pulpit drapsd with U. S.
flag and also placing the colors upon his
coffin, and yet further by securing de-
tail from the military company ofyoung
men to fire three salutes over his grave.
Mr.. Cannon was certainly real SOL
dier and a true patriot. 1t would be in
teresting indeed to read in detail the ex-
periences of his strange eventful life
We understand he was also Christian
man, speaking often to his friends ofthe
goodness Of his heavenly Father. Let
not this generation forget to revive the
name Of the old soldier nor to recite
over again aud again lessons Of patriot
ism; neither fail to teach our children
the pathway to the tombs of our heroic
dead.
A FRIEND OF THE OLD SOLDIER.

We learn that over in merry England
a short time ago there was a certain
nobleman who owned park which had
long been maintained as q hunting
ground and it contained many wild deer.
1t became desirable to open this park
and convert it to more useful purposes
and it became grand question how to
capture those deer mot kill them) and
remove them to other grounds. In this
emergency it was suggested to call into
requisition some of Buffalo Bills COW
boys with their lasso's. This was done
and they soon accomplished the task to
the queens taste.

$4,000 has been assigned to South Da-
kota to be expended this year in xpsri-
mental wells in different parts of the
state and the disbursement Of the funds
will be in the hdfds Of the secretary of
the interior. Prof. Todd, who is the
state geologist of South Dakota, is now
making his official tour Of investigation
and the locating Of tic wells will proba-
bly, be under his direction. The Prof
says though no order has yet been issued =,
there is no doubt that the wells will be
sunk as follows: One near Lake Andes
in Charles Mix county; Red Lake, Brule
county White Lake, Aurora county 8.
Swan Lake, Walworth county; Cotton.
wood Lake, Sphinx county; Lake Byron,
Beadle county. Also that wells will be
sunk along Foster creek. Also some
dams will be constructed in Sphinx and
Beadle counties and on Obijo creek in
Potter and Sully counties; on American
creek in Hughes and Hyde counties and
along other streams in the state. There
has arisen some complaint that most all
Of the work thus far laid out is on streams
and lakes where it is known that there
is an artesian basin underneath. These
complaints may be well founded as it is
desirable to find out the extent of the
basin and to get water where it is most
needed on the most arid lands. On gen
eral principles we would say provide for
the dry places and the moist ground
will take care of itself. Or at least sink
some wells where water is not known to
exist, and not all where water is known
to be plentiful.
