Fire at Hot Springs.

Hot Springs suffered severely by fire
last Sunday, the 1lth. The fire broke
out at o'clock in the morning in the
Minnekahta block, near Gillespie's
plumbing shop, and swept away fifteen
business houses upon which there was
but small insurance. ALL of the build
ings were of frame, some quite old and
somewhat delapidated. There was very
little of the goods or personal effects
saved of any kind, and the buildings
were entirely consumed. Among the
places of business destroyed were Som
erindyke's store and restaurant, john
sons hardware, Gillespie's plumbing
shop, Riordan's bottling works, a bowl
ing alley and furniture store. The
losses foot up about $4,000 and the in
surance which amounts almost
to nothing renders the blow very
severe on the victims of the devouring
flames, and we extend to them our SYM
pathy, which is all we can do.
Hot Springs has been very fortunate
in the past in comparison with all her
sister cities of the Hills, but we who
have been through the furnace know
how it is, and how to feel for others
under like circumstances. But Hot
Springs is fourishing, and it will be but
a short time when the burnt district
will be rebuilt, and the old wooden
buildings (good in their day. will be re
placed with massive buildings of solid
brick and stone.

Black Sand,

1t has been ascertained that the black
sand taken from the placer bars of French
creek contain good percentage of gold.
A sample of black sand, concentrated
from the gravel below the sluices, where
all the gold had been collected which
could be caught by the common method
employed in placer mining yielded by
fire assay $50 in gold. These sands, by
fine crushing, are found to be amenable
to the cyanide process and profitable
extraction is reported as being made on
Rapid creek near Pactola. A Mr.. L. A.
Richards, an experienced and enterpris-
ing miner in that locality after series
of experiments has put up a plant for
the purpose and it is said is making it
win.
We read also that company is oper-
ating on the black sands taken from the
Carson river in Nevada and is making it
80 profitable that other companies are
starting in to erect plants on that stream
to obtain the gold in the black sand. We

Found q Human Skull.

While searching for the lost man, P.
L. Mapes, last Saturday, Will Ferguson
entered the old S. B. Clark house, up
the canyon from Hot Springs about six
miles, and when he went into the attic
he found human skull, which is pro-
nounced that of a young woman. He
brought the skull to town and turned it
over to DR.. Jennings. This house has
been declared by many to be haunted
and has not been occupied much, if any,
since s. B. Clark left here a couple OF
years ago. Oliver Clark, son, has lived
in that vicinity, but not in this house.
When the skull was found the authori-
ties of Custer county were at once noti-
fed and on Sunday Sheriff Petty went
out and made further search of the
premises, though We understand did not
find any more of the skeleton. States
Attorney Sprague and Sheriff Lewis came
down from Custer county and had Oliver
Clark placed under arrest. They made
a further investigation of the affair and
not obtaining any tangible evidence, or
dered Clark released. Hot Springs Star

An Improved Plan of Cyanldins.

There is growing change in the minds
OF many of the mill men in the northern
Hills, in regard to the application of what
is known as the wet crushing cyanide
process of extracting the values from ore
which carries portion of free gold
Heretofore the method which has been
generally adopted has been to first crush
the ore in a battery with stamps,
then amalgamate by allowing the pulp
to flow over copper plates covered with
quick silver to collect the free gold. The
tailings are allowed to run into tanks
where they are treated by cyanide solu-
ton to obtain the gold which is COM
bined and not free. This is the method
now employed by the Homestake com
pany and gives fairly good results, but
not as satisfactory as could be wished, as
some of the gold is coated by an oxide
and escapes, not amalgamating with the
quick silver on the plates. The change,
and what is claimed as great improve
ment, is to cyanide the pulp first as it
comes from the stamps and submit the
tailings to amalgamation after cyanida-
tion is complete. The object gained as
it is claimed is that the cyanide disolves
and eats off the rust and film from the
free gold leaving it bright and thus more
amenable to the action of the quicksil-
yer. The new Columbus mill, we un-
derstand, is being fitted up to treat their
ore by this method, and although we
have not seen it demonstrated, yet il
strikes US as being an improvement, but
we shall see.

Mining Items.

1t is reported that new cyanide plant
will be erected on the old Richmond and
the company will treat the old tailings
as well as ore from the mine.
Mr.. w. w. Olds has torn down the
Old Charley quartz mill at Four Mile
and will move the same up to the Ru-
berta mine. He finds that sufficient wa
ter may be pumped from the mine to
supply all that is needed to run the cya-
nide plant which his company propose
to erect on the ground. He is pushing
the work, and as the mine is we'll OPEN
ed and the ore is no ost of it good grade
and much of it high grade, the promise
of steady and profitable industry is
very fattering. Much of the machinery
is already on the ground and the rest
will soon be added. The Ruberta should
soon be steady producer ofthe precious
metal.
The Bismarck Mining company, ac-
cording to the Keystone Recorder, have
again found the main vein in their
ground and the ore body is l20 feet
between walls. The ore is said to aver
age $4S5 where it has been cut by a
drift at the 100 foot level, and 81 20 where
it has been cut by another drift at the
200 foot level. The cross cut drift was
run 16 feet from the main shaft before
encountering the ore body, and they are
now prepared to furnish as much ore as
the Homestake and of better grade.
The Keystone people are congratulating
themselves, and we don't blame them.
We hope it is true and when we know it
we will hasten to join in the congratula-
tions.

do not know fully the process employed
on the Carson river but it is something
different from cyaniding. In California
in certain places We also hear of parties
at work concentrating the black sand
and making profitable business ship
ping the same to smelter. We have for
a long time thought that here was
source of gold which had been overlook
ed by our miners and it is certain that
If it can be made remunerative at all,
the supply from the different bars along
most all of our creeks is almost mex

owners of placer ground to make some
experiments and see if they have not

The position which the President has
taken must be endorsed by everyone
who understands the constitution of the
United States, and appreciates the liber-
ty which is vouchsafed to every citizen
under the laws of our government. The
executive must not discriminate against
citizen because he is not member Of
union, any more than he would dis
criminate between the members of
church. The land is full of clicks and
clans, and societies both open and secret,
and they may oppose each other if they
choose. The government pays no atten-
tion to these, and is not warranted in do
ing so unless they break the laws under
which we all live and claim protection.
