Mining Items,

Mr.. Cnarles 1OlmeS, VINO came In on
Wednesday, reports that the new strike
in the Caledonia is very fich indeed,
not only in the usual tellurides but also
with specimens of free gold. This prop.
erty belongs to Mr.. John Bueter. and it
is said that the old gentleman feels very
much encouraged.
The Gold Hill and the Strasburg are
undergoing development ana still show
ina I'M ore of an excellent grade. The
SHAFT on the Gold Hill is so feet In depth
and a new shaft has been started on
the Strasburg mine which has attained
a depth of 80 feet. The vein on this
claim is full six feet wide and the ore is
a good milling grade. The property be.
longs to VIM. Rosenboum and Frank
Weatherby and is located in the Penob-
scot district eight miles north west from
Custer.
The Globe mine, always famous for
the rich ore and free gold specimens
which has been taken from the main
vein, is still undergoing development.
The property, which is owned by Mr..
Charles Harbach and Capt Haserodt,
has three openings, one 60 foot shaft,
one is and a new one just started 10
foot in depth. The ore in all of these
openings is rich and the new one so far
as free gold is concerned is the richest
of all. This property is in the Penob.
scot district.
The Holy Terror Mining company
yesterday made another cleanup at their
plant in Keystone, which was delivered
at the assay Office Of W. Fowler this
morning. 1t is said to be a handsome
one and makes the company feel jubi-
liant. Beginning with this week the
company commenced dropping fifteen
stamps, and as they have heretofore only
been dropping ten the next cleanup will
no doubt be increased considerable. The
prospects for the company are looking
very gratifying. .-Deadwood Independ-

The Gold Mortar, situated eight miles
west of Custer has vein four feet in
width of high grade ore which is destin-
ed to become producer in the near
future. They have now quite deep
shaft upon which work has been stead
lily applied all winter and spring. We
are told that the development has ceas-
ed for the present on this most promis
ing ground for the reason, as Mr.. Wright
says, "We are working 80 many mines
now that we have more than we can
properly look after and the Gold Mortar,
rich az it is, must rest awhile until we
get some of these other things started.
The North Star Mining Company have
struck very rich vein of ore in an in
cline shaft sunk about 300 feet from
their main shaft. The vein is about
three feet wide, and the ore is said to be
full of free gold and telluride. They
are taking out ore and storing it and
will start up the little mill as soon as
they have sufficient tonnage to make q
run. We hope. having gone far enough
to learn that the free milling process is
not a success on their ores, that the COM
pany will add cyanide or chlorination to
their plant before they undertake to
save the gold from the North Star mine.
First know you are right and then 60
ahead.
The Central Black Hills Copper COM
pany's plant is now complete and as we
were Informed that the mill would start
up on the 25th we presume they are
running steadily. However it is not the
intention to make continuous run at
this time but to ascertain what parts
need adjusting, as is always the case in
