a move at the present time would only
mean another contest as soon as rail

Several important changes are pro-
Jected by the Homestake company for
the cyanide plant No. 2 at Blacktail,
on The north end of the Homestake
property. Several new cone separa-
TORS are to be introduced, and a new
pipe line is to be built for conveying
sands from the De Smet stamp mill
to the cyanide plant for retrenchment.
These changes are said to have been
decided upon in view of the discovery
of rich ore in the De Smet mine.
1t is announced as the intention OF
the Glover Leaf Gold Mining company
to continue its shaft to a depth of 200
feet. The shaft is 700 feet deep, and
at that depth a new hoist is being
placed, entirely Independent OF the
main hoist, for use in sinking and not
to interfere with the regular duty OF
the principal hoist in raising ore for
the mill. The ore at 700 feet is of a
better grade than on either the fifth or
sixth level, and everything denotes in
creasing richness with depth. 1t is
also discovered that less energy is re-
CURED to handle the water thar at

cry can be applied more directly to the

pany's stamp mill is working steadily

and near the headwaters of the Little

The Imperial Gold Mining and Mill
ing company has greatly increased its
acreage by the purchase OF the prop
erty belonging to the Hugh McGovern
estate, near Bald mountain. Various
mining companies and individuals
have beer trying to buy this ground
for years, and the success OF the I'm
perial is looked upon as a signal
stroke. 1t is recognized as one of the
most valuable properties in the Bald
mountain country.

county, state thai the drilling or the
test holes over the lands leased by the
Aberdeen syndicate are progressing IN
a very satisfactory manner, eight or
nine holes being finished. 1T is SAID
to be the intention of the syndicate to
drill two or three more for the purpose
of discovering the limits OF the beds
so far as their leasehOlds are con-
cerned, and, after this, a working SHAFT
will be sunk, at least to the upper
vein. which is down between forty and
fifty feet. The syndicate holds the
leases on ten or twelve quarter sec
tions. and it is said that the tests show
that the coal underlies the whole or
the property. The vein struck at the
depth named is three feet thick, and
another vein lower down and about
eleven feet thick is found on part or

Another producing mining section
with W large and modern mills In
service Is coming to the front. II Is

given by the United States land office
70 that section about Galena, lying
o five to eight miles from Dead
wood, and embracing a large part OF
Bear Butte creek, Strawberry gulch.
Ruby gulch. and numerous af1uents.
This was an important silver amp in
the early days, before the falling off of
the price of silver.
Only within the last few years has
serious attention been turned to the
possibilities of the gold mines in that
region, and the promise is now given
that the gold of the region will play a
more important part even thar the
silver Of the past.
The Ruby Gold Mining and Milling
company has just completed a new
n modern wet crushing amalgama-
ting and cyaniding mill in Ruby gulch,
and 1T is to be started the present
month. 1t is equipped with six Mer-
rail- stamps of quadruple discharge,
giving the plant an initial capacity of
forty tons a day. Large quicksilver
plates are arranged back of the
stamps, and still back of the plates are
cyanide watts, where the values of the
.ailings will be caught and saved.
The company has a large reserve Of
ore to start with, SO opened and
blocked out that it may be mined and
delivered at the mill with small ex-
pense. 1t carries a large portion of
free gold, and is, therefore, amenable
to amalgamation at the depth so far
opened. James Conzett is in personal
charge of operations.
In the same vicinity the Branch
Mint Mining company is building a
mill of 12O stamps, has the battery
posts for sixty stamps set and is set
ting the posts for the other side. This
will also be a computation mill, with
amalgamating plates and cyanide
tanks, and thus prepared for the treat
ment of two kinds of ore. The COM
pany has 1000 acres of land, mostly
