Deadwood, S. D.. March 13.-The Horse
shoe Mining company and its acts con-
tinue to- hold the attention Of mining
men in South Dakota, and much anxiety
Is felt concerning the probable action of
the stockholders at the meeting soon to
be held at 'Beulah, Wyo. Black Hills
miners generally recognize the great
value of the Horseshoe and the belief
prevails that the company has it in its
power to- make not only a. good record
for itself but also to serve the minority
stockholders admirably by taking the
.propsrs action at the. meeting. s.
2. Those who have. studied conditions
carefully aver that two things are neces-
sary to immediate success. namely, a re-
duction 3ofs the capitalization and an early
completion Of the cyanide plant at the
Mogul mine, that the stockholders may
begin to- realize profits at as
early a date as possible. The first, re-
quirement: is to be compiled with, as the
stockholders meeting : has. been called
principally for the purpose Of cutting the
capitalization in two. but it is under
stood that the controlling interest is in
clined to defer the completion of the new
cyanide mill, except perhaps part of it
capable of treating. some. seventy-five
tons a day for experimental purposes. and
pending the further development of the
mines. - 80 . ss'N .f%'@'. -
: According: to the, report Of the. COM
pany's expert Herman A. Keller, there
are 100000 tons of worka Bile ore exposed
in the mines. actually blocked out and
ready for mining, this ore having a gross
value of SIS a ton: There is also ore In
the north workings in sight, and sett-
mateds $50, 900 tons. worth 81 a ton. Be
sides this there is a giant reserve Of
quartzite ore, and MI. Keller reports thai
from his samples the company has al
least $4,000.O00 In sight, over and above
the expense of mining and milling, Owing
to his excellent standing asa mining eX-
pert his estimate IS not questioned. s
At the coming meeting it is purposed tx
call in for cancellation 1900, 900 shares o1
stock held by persons in the pool. This
will not in any way affect the stock llelt
by the general public further than to in:
crease its value. since the capitaliza tior
will be reduced to $4,000, 900, making
100000 less shares to come in for, THE
net profits. In other words, the cancel
lation, of this pooled stock will enhanct
| the holdings of other share owners by re
ducing the company's S total liability.

Special to The Journal.
Helena. Mont. March 13.--The city Of
Helena Is going to investigate the al
legged gambling graft This was de-
cided upon at meeting of the city coun-
Gil last night. Despite the fact that the
legislative investigating committee failed
to incriminate anyone, the city has de-
cided to conduct one ION its own hook"
because of the fact that gambling of al
kinds is being conducted openly and mo-
toriously and the city treasury is receiv.
ing no revenue therefrom. !. The resoiution
adopted is as follows:
Resolved, That a special committee bs
and is hereby appointed, whose duty Il
shall be to investigate the, charges Of
such violations Of law. including those Of
grating and with power to order the
police department to make arrests and
also to see that fines are properly cni-
lected.
Alderman Jockey, who introduced ths
resolutions, said that a gam bling house
proprietor had told him that it would be
far more profitable to be arrested weekly
and fined, and also that it would be more
satisfactory than the present system Of
holding up the gambling house pro.
prietors by the different officials.

COUSINS PLEASED
Defeat Of. Greene May Remove 4 Rival

Defeat. Of Greene May Remove Rival
+ From ::HIs Path.
MARsHALLTOWN.s sIoWA--The,nonai-
nation of Charles Eckles for the state
senate at the republican primaries in this
county is regarded blythe more ardent
friends Of Congressman Cousins as a
distinct victory for the latter. Merritt
Greene. who opposed Eckles, was known
to cherish the ambition to represent the
fifth district in congress and his election
as state senator would have been regard
ed as an entering wedge in a future con
test for that position.
With Ecklesz the case is somewhat diff
ferent. He is not believed to aspire to.
future political preferment and will l11-
doubtedlyS be satisfied with a term pr
more in the, state senate. It was desired,
therefore, by both Mr.. Cousins and his
supporters that. Greene's ambitions be
thwarted at the outset.
Greene was very pronounced Cummins
supporter and Eckles is supposed to be in
favor Of Cummins' denomination, although
his position with reference to the So
called Iowa idea Is not so well known.
He is a wealthy farmer and has served in
the lower house.
