Homestake's Output.

The Homestake company, inclusive
of the several adjoining productive
mines purchased and absorbed by the
Homestake, have made an aggregate
gold production of $4,000, 900, of
which $4,000, 900 were profits, and
approximately $4,000, 900 of the lat
ter have been disbursed in dividends
and s12, 0 900 have been expended
in the purchase and betterment Of
property. The Homestake alone has
paid $12.14S,950 in dividends to its
stockholders, in 29S successive month

years and eight months, up to and
inclusive of August. 1903.
The American Mining Congress

last week, was one of the most inter.

a mining paper ever received in this
Office. 1t contained 100 pages of mat

to good, readable, instructive news.

cyaniding in the Black Hills.
The cyanide treatment for the re-
covery of gold from its ores was first
introduced into the Black Hills in
1894 by Rossiter Brothers who built
a mill at Deadwood. 1t was a crude
affair at that time as compared with
n of the up to date mills but served
as a great object lesson proving the
amenability of the Potsdam ores TO
that treatment method. The metal.
lurgists were slow to grasp the full
meaning and great possibilities of the
great cyanide process and several
years of experimenting in a small
way was carried on before the pro-
cess was put to any great test. Dur,
ing 1900 four mills were built, the
next year five more, including a tail
ings plant of 1,200 tons daily capac
ity, during 1902 six additional mills
were put in commission, including the
Homestake Cyanide No. 2, an S00-tor
daily capacity tailings mill. Thus fai
during 1903 five mills have been start
ed, including the Horseshoe 500-tor
plant. Today 16 are operating. ex
tracing daily the values from 4,19(
tons of ore. Several other plants are
now in course of construction, and by
January 1, 1904, this daily tonnag'
will probably be increased to 5000
tons.
The cyanide process in the Blacl
Hills is perfected to a high degre;

age from 81 to 81 per ton, although
some mills treat ores worth a low a!
$3.50 a ton. Some of the best posted
cyanide experts in the world are en-
ployed at the different plants, and I'm
der their guidance the work of obtain
ing the yellow metal is progressin;

fact to note that but one cyanide mil

Whereas, on the sixth day of January,

provided ''that for any cause apparent

Special to the Daily Progress.
Jackson, April 28-Since the retire
ment of Hon. A f. Fox from the race
for governor the papers of the state
are making q regular stampede to the
Critz column.
A large majority of the edi-
tors who were outspoken for Mr.. Fox
are now equally strong in declaring
for his fellow-townsman, Judge
Critz, AMI apparently the recent ex-
change of personalities between the
two gentlemen as to who should re-
main in the race has little effect on
the new order of things.
The flop to the Critz column was
naturally to be expected in view OF
the fact that Messrs. Critz and Fox
were running on practically the same
platform and appealed to the con
servative people of the state for theil
suffrage.

Jackson, April 29.-This is the 31th
day of Mississippi's drouth and dur
ing this period there has not been
drop of rainfall over practically the
entire area of the state. A few COM
munitles were favored with light
showers, which were not of sufficient
duration to be of lasting benefit.
The situation has commenced to
assume most serious phase. Corn
that has sprouted and appeared
above the ground is being withered
by the dry winds, and stands are re-
ported poor from all sections. Little
cotton has yet sprouted, the ground
being caked dry and hard, and the
planted seed lie dormant awaiting
moisture. Fruit is also showing the
effects of the drouth, and much of it,
especially peaches, is dropping from
the trees. The weekly report of the
weather bureau issued today is very
gloomy in tone.
