--------------T
TIE States Schoor Fund.

South Dakota may never see the time
predicted by Commissioner Bach when
the schools of the state can be maintain
ed without taxation, but it is pleasant
now and then, to contemplate the size of
the school endowment fund. The latest
report is that every dollar of the four
millions of the fund is at work drawing
regular interest for the support of the
schools. This result has been brought
about by the activity of the department
schools and public lands which pointed
out the necessity of widening the scope
of the loans, and the prompt action by
the legislature on the suggestion. Prac-
tically half of the unsold school lands
east of the Missouri river are now being
leased. The state has 100000 acres
still to sell and when all these lands are
sold the fund will not be less than forty
millions of dollars. The income from
this fund will always 60 far towards sup
porting the schools without taxation.
Commissioner Bach thinks that within
thirty years the school tax in the state
will be no longer levied.-Argus,L Lead

Belle E'ourche's Big Ditch.

r. F. Walters Of the United States geo.
logical survey, who has been engaged
with party for several months on the
big Belle Fourche ditch, has completed
the running of preliminary lines, and
has resumed the preliminary work on
the large reservoir on Dry creek. This
reservoir will be three miles long and
will contain an enormous volume Of wa
ter.
This is one of the largest, If not the
largest, ditch contemplated under the
national scheme ofirrigation. Itsintake e
is within the corporate limits of Belle
Fourche at the mouth of Redwater creek.
The waterway will be seventy-fve miles
long and fifty eight feet wide at the wa
ter line and will carry nine feet of storm
water with which to supply the several
reservoirs contemplated along its course.
1t is estimated that 175,OO0 acrts of land
will be reclaimed by the ditch.

DAKOTA. SATURDAY. OCTOBER "a. 1903

gravelly substances found on or near the
surface and will be milled until the ore
veins are opened up at greater depth
to degree that will enable them to be
worked. The company has had for many
months large force engaged in devel-
oping this property and it has met excel
lent results. Some of the ore taken out
is marvellously rich in free gold besides
containing excellent results in bismuth,
telluride and arsenical pyrites.
The Gold Fish may be termed freak
mine. There seems to be no definite
rule by which the rich ore occurs. Frag-
ments of barren looking slate upon being
broken open disclose kidneys of free
gold bearing quartz, from the size of half
an ounce to many hundreds of pounds,
in which the gold occurs in wires, glob-
ules and leaf form and occasionally much
Of this character of gold is also found in
the slate itself. The matter of treating
this ore is proving something of prob
lem to the company, but it expects to
devote considerable attention towards its
solution. 1t has been found by careful
tests that only about forty per cent Of
the values contained may be saved by
amalgamation and for the extraction of
the remaining values some other means
must be devised. What this shall be re-
mains to be determined upon.
CENTRAL BLACK HILLS COPPER co.
The Central Black Hills Copper COM
pany is making preparations to put its
teaching plant in operation. 1t is locat-
ed in the copper belt in the southern
part of Pen nington county, twelve miles
northwest of Custer City, and from all
accounts is a most complete and well
equipped affair. The plant has a capac-
ity of 100 tons day, using the sulphuric
acid lixivation process, precipitating the
copper on scrap iron. 1t has been pro-
posed that instead of the scrap iron the
mill use some of the native iron found
in the locality in blankets or reefs in
large quantities. 1t is quite probable
that this plan may be tried, but before
it is fully adopted it will be given a
thorough test.
The final payments on the company's
property were due on the 18th instant,
and advices from Custer are to the effect
that satisfactory conclusion of the af-
fair was reached with the owners. The
property is known to the old timers of
the country as the Dick Palmer copper
ground, having been located by Dick
Palmer of Hill City several years ago.
Some Of the prominent members of the
company, from Cleveland, Ohio, are in
the Hills at present arranging to start the
mill and watch its operation for a few
days before returning to their homes.
Drake, Barnes G. Co., of the latter city,
foated the enterprise, and they and their
friends are the principal owners of tn e
stock.
Harry Francis, of Custer, mining man
of experience, brought the attention of
Drake, Barnes & Co. to the property and
he. has been in active charge of the oper-
ations for some time. The ore is found
in deposits of sufficient size to warrant
the belief that it is feasible commercial
proposition, and one that should pay
handsome returns on the investment
when the reduction plants gets in steady
operation.-Mining Review.

Mining Items,

The Hill City News says the Sunbeam
mine shaft has reached the depth of $50
fees where the water has increased TO
such an extent that it will be come neces
sary to install pump to keep the water
out. The shaft has encountered the
ledge which has width of ten feet.
Work at the Minnie May mine is be-
ing pushed with all vigor and % men
are employed framing the timbers for
the mill, getting out logs and eawing the
same into lumber. This lumber will all
be needed for the mill, tramway and the
various buildings, made necessary to the
business of mining and milling. Work
on the mine will probably be resumed
about the 18th, which, with the large
supply of ore already on hand and ready
for treatment will keep the mill running
steadily. The Minnie May grounds fur
nish busy scene just now and there are
no flies on the men who have itin charge.
NAY BUILD A TIN MILL.
3 G. Johnson, general manager Of the
Gertie Tin Mining company, near Hill
City, says that if his company can COM
plete arrangements now under way, tin
mill will be built at the mine. The mine
is developed by an incline shaft 500 feet
deep, in which the vein has been thor
oughly explored at the bottom. 1t car
ries a good percentage of the white
metal, and is eight to ten feet wide. The
values in tin are sufficient to warrant the
belief that the ore can be proftably treat
ed, and it is quite probable that the mill
will be built.
In order to more thoroughly demon
strate the value of the ores, a test will
be made in the Golden Slipper mill. The
plant is a stamp amalgamating affair,
equipped with concentrators, and when
the test is made the pulp from the stamps
Will be run direct to the concentrators,
where the white metal will be saved. II
this demonstration proves successful,
and the operators have every reason to
believe that it will, it will undoubtedly
be the means of insuring the erection OF
the company's own plant at no far dis
tant date.
Mr.. Johnson says that the Gertieis the
oldest tin mine in the United States. 1t
is older than the Eta, generally spoken
of as the pioneer, inasmuch as the Eta
was first worked for mica, and the values
in tin were not discovered until the Ger
tie had already established its reputa-
ton. 1t originally belonged to the Har.
ney Peak company, but passed to the
hands of the present owners at tax sale,
and is regarded as one of the most valu-
able properties in the Southern Hills, the
recent developments on the lower levels
having enchanced its value greatly

WILL BUILD TEN STAMP MILL.
Mr.. w. w. Kelly, the expert who was

permitted himself to be interviewed by
reporter of the Pioneer Timea in Dead
wood recently with the following result
which we copy.
A ten stamp quartz mill is to be built
on the Gold Fish group by the company
and Mr.. Kelly believes it will be started
this winter. The company has famous
specimen mine and has vast amount OF
material in sight to supply such mill
from the start. This material will con-

Excitement in Big Horn Basin.

From Cody, Wyoming, comes the re-
port that great excitement exists through
out Big Horn Basin over the fact that
W. II. Smith, one of the participants in
the lynching that occurred at Basin last
July, has made a confession and given
to the attorneys the list of persons who
formed the party on that occasion. 1t
will be recalled that party ofthirty- i've
men rode into the county seat at mid.
night, and, after firing into the structure,
a court house and Jail combined, killing
Deputy Clerk Price, and wounding Dep
ty Sheriff Meade, gained entrance into
the Jail proper. Being unable to unlock
the steel cage wherein the two convicted
murderers, German and Walters were
confined, they shot them to death with
guns. Governor Chatterton and the local
authorities determined upon the prose
cution of the mob, and for the first time
in the history of the county grand jury
was called. They met last week at Ba-
sin and proceeded to indict parties en-
gagged in the affair. The names given
by Smith embrace some of the most
prominent and substantial citizens in
the eastern part of the county, and the
information given by Smith has created
a profound sensation, and will doubtless
cause more trouble in the meantime.
Smith, whose reputation is none Of the
best, is closely guarded for fear he may
be killed by some of those implicated.
