The w Gather.

There is but one word to describe the
weather we have been having for the
last forty-6ve days, s"beautiful." We
have had nothing like a storm since the
10th day of September, and in all that
time the days have been warm and
bright with hardly a cloud in the sky
for many days together. 1t is a little
singular to say that September and Oc-
tober were warmer than the months of
June, July and August, but this, accord
ing to our observation, is a fact. Last
Tuesday broke the monotony slightly
and came in with cold wind and a furry
of snow but not enough to obscure. the
ground, but just n of Sam Shankland's
Sandwiches of snow and sunshine, then
all was calm and bright again. Itistrue
that we usually have n OF two cold
snaps which last each two or three days
and at such times the mercury may go
as low as 40 degrees below zero. But
take the year around, and having spent
the winter in many lands, east, west,
north and south, yet we are prepared to
say that for our own part we have never
found a climate as pleasant and satisfac-
tory as the Black Hills of South Dakota.

Mining Items.

The Sunbeam Mining company on
Friday gulch has its building nearly
completed for the ten stamp mill, and
most of the machinery is in place.
The hoist and pump for the Ivanhoe
Mining company arrived the forepart OF
the week, and was taken down to the
mine on Thursday. The hoist has a ca
pacity to sink a shaft to a depth of 500
feet. A 100 horse power Marine boiler
and an air compressor will be shipped
from Chicago on the 18th.
At the Never Sweat mine, one of the
Anaconda company's group, at Butte,
Mont, a depth of 1000 feet has been
reached. At the 200 foot level the tenn
p%erature is As deg. F. At the 400 it is
40; at the 1000 it is 90; at the 1000 it is
"a, showing an almost constant increase
of one degree for each so feet. The
1000 foot level shows q temperature Of
80 degrees +. At this rate the 5000 foot
level ought to show about l02 degrees or
40 we blood heat.-Mining World.
There are known but a few rocks that
consist of a single mineral alone, these
being limestone, which may be either
the species calcite or dolomite; quartz
tie, which is a quartz and felsyte, ortho-
clase. Very often these simple rocks
contain other minerals. Most rocks are
combinations Of minerals. They are not
definite compounds, but indefinite mix
lures, and hardly less indefinite than
the mud of a river. Granite graduates
insensibly into gneiss, and gneiss insen-
sibly in mica schist and quartzite; sye
mite into granite, mica schist into horn
blende schist; granite also into a COM
pact porphyry-like rock, and quartz
trachyte and so it is with many other
kinds. This fact is a chief source of the
difficulty in studying and defining rocks
and especially the crystalline kind.
In conversation with Mr.. Walter
Wright he gave us as his opinion that
the Extreme Mining company would
| declare a dividend on the first of Janu-
| airy, 1904. He calculates that the mill
will start by the first of December, as it
is now under cover and the machinery
is being rapidly put in place. Such are
the anticipations of sanguine youth, and
there is ne knowing what may be &C
complished by such a combination oil
skill, energy anu foresight which has
been brought together TO forward that
| enterprise. Still we have had to do
with the starting of several mills, and
we know that there are many little
things to arrange and adjust after you
think you are all ready, and we will
give them until the 1st Of February to
make their run and declare a dividend.

This is the season when the m
who knows the best remedies for Group

One of the most terrible things in the
world is to be awakened in the middle
of the night by a whoop from one of the
children. The Group remedies are al
most as sure to be lost, in case Of Group,
as a revolver is sure to be lost in case OF
burglars. There used to be an old-ias-
hioned remedy for Group, known as hive
syrup and tolu, but some modern moth
ers say that Chamberlain's Cough Rem
edy is better, and does not costso much.
It causes the patient to throw up the
phlegm" quicker, and gives relief in a
shorter time. Give this remedy as soon
as the croupy cough appears and it Will
