Died


At the Sisters Hospital at Hot Springs,
s. D., on the 9th of June, 1903, Miss Ger
trude DAILY, aged % years and mouths.
Miss Daily was born near the town of
Oskaloosa, Iowa, December lst, 1879, and
came with her parents to Rapid City in
1875. She resided there until the time
of her death except the months when
she lived in Custer and kept house for
her uncle, Mat s. DAILY, which was about
one and half years ago. At this time
she again returned to Rapid City, where
she remained until taken to Hot Springs
to be treated for Peritonites to which
dire ailment she at last succumbed.
Thus passed from earth one of South
Dakota's fairest daughters and most
worthy young women: Loved and res
psttsd by all who knew her, she has left
the changing scenes OF earth, to try the
new and untrodden paths of a higher
and brighter world. Those in this
community who knew her will join in
sentiments of sorrow and regret with the
vast multitude Of friends who attended
the funeral and accompanied the re-
mains to their last resting place. She
was buried in the cemetery at Rapid
City, where the flowers will grow, the
birds will sing, and the wild winds chant
her requiem. But all these she will not
heed as her ears are open to the strains
Of sweetsr music, and her eyes will gaze
upon birds of brighter plumage in a
world that is fairer than this.

il was of no use to look for wolfram in
the states. But this we have ascertain
ed is mistake, as the largest If not the
richest veins of the mineral are in the
states, mingled with quarts and some
iron, and in every case it is easily de-
tected by its extraordinary weight.
From some tests which we have recent
ly ,d made, ,.e find in the veins In
this district that the wolfram is some
times associated with copper and plati.

never very rich, the highest yield it that

We would recommend our miners and
prospectors to pay some attention to
this mineral, and when ore is found

carry wolfrom, send it to some chemist
of high fepute for .1alysis. 1t will cost
something to have this work done right.
but it will pay to have it done, fot it is
one of the reasons of our obscure posi-

Mining Items:

The Interstate new shaft Is now down
80 feet. They struck the vein as ex-
pected at depth of 40 feet and are now
ten feet in ore of excellent grade. Steve
Ainslie says that in addition on outside
claims he has four men working in the
shaft.
The Crown mics mine has received
the air compressor drill and it is said to
work very satisfactorily. We presume
that the work will progress steadily
from this on and shipments of mica,
which has been about two car loads per
month, will now be somewhat increas-
ed
The Leroy Mining company have not
been as prompt in starting the work at
the mine as was expected. We are told
that some hitch, in affairs at the other
end of the line WAS the cause of the de-
lay. This has now been adjusted and
labor on that excellent mine Of high
grade ore will soon be resumed.
The Central Black Hills Copper COM
pany have been subjected to a vekious
delay in starting up their reduction
plant. This was caused by the failure
Of the manufacturers to put their pump
on the cas with the rest of the machin-
cry (Which is now in place., and the

dRAPHiTIc TELLURIDE ORE
Is combination which ia quite common
IN the southern Hills, and is usually
very rich in gold. In speaking of graph
itic telluride we do not mean graphic
telluride, it is something very different,
although both are rich in the precious
metal. Graphic telluride of gold is q
combination of gold, tellurium, and
manganese. 1t is often seen in seams
and on the smooth planes ofgranite and
periphery, and has the appearance Of
written characters from which it takes
its name. Graphite tellurium which is
usually rich in gold, is composed for the
most part of graphite, tellurium and
gold and takes its name from its main
constituent, graphite, for which it is
often taken. For this reason we speak
Of 1t, for although we have mines or
graphite which carries no gold, yet it is
we'll to have test made on all ores con-
tanning graphite as they may be rich in

this age it seems incumbent upon all

this age it seems incumbent upon all to
range themselves in line and to organize
for mutual protection. In this respect
the mining fraternity are behind the
other industrial clans, although it is con.
ceded to be the most important branch
of our nations workers. The mining
laws will be considered and several
changes will be recommended, while the
latest improvements in methods of min
ing and reduction of ores will be exhaus
lively caHvassed. 1t is well for the rep
resentative mining men of the nation to
meet together to get acquainted and
learn of each others ways and acquaint
themselves with every new wrinkle in
the business. Probably the subject Of
most absorbing interest at this time will
be to prepare memorial to congress to
establish department Of mines, with a
cabinet officer to represent the interests
of the miners all over our broad land.
This seems to be matter of imperative
demand and should not be neglected.
To this end it is recommended and
strenuously urged that every represent
ative miner that can possibly attend the
convention should do so. 1t is very i'm
portant that the miners altogether and
present solid front and by strong and
united effort obtain this "consummation
so deyoutly to be wished"

wolfrom In the Southern Hills.

/ The increased demand for wolfram
has caused the writer to look about and
to examine more closely our stock in
trade, to see how near we can come to
filling the bill. We find that the min
eral is not scarce comm odity in many
of the mines around and about Custer,
and the returns from several samples
which we have sent away for test prove
that it is here in paying quantities. One
sample which was an average of three
feet of the vein ran 3s per cent which
concentrated down to 65 per cent lungs
tic acid. Large quantities of this min
eral is used in the manufacture of steel
and the demand is rapidly increasing.
We have no recent quotations but not
long ago the price for ore which con-
tanned so per cent of tungstic acid was
about $3.50 per ton. It does not usually
run IL very large bodies, but when
found it is usually in we'll defined veins
of compact and very heavy ore, and the
values are easily concentrated. The
mining and shipping of this ore should
prove very profitable to our miners who
possess vein of wolfram large enough
for commercial purposes.
In mining tungsten ores for treatment
the miners of Custer county should en-
Joy quite an advantage from the fact
that our ores Of tungsten usually carry
gold in quite appreciable quantities. In
fact so far as our investigation of the
subject has progressed, we find that the
richer the ore is in tungstic acid, the
richer it is in gold also, and we under
stand the process of separation is not
expensive. Wolfram has been known
to exist in the southern Hills ever since
the discovery of tin, and the two ores
are sometimes found associated together,
In such instances the minerals are usu.
ally found in veins III the granite for
