GOLD IN BLACK HILLS.
Fluctuations of Stock Market Are Not
Needed There.

Needed There.
Depreciation in the market value or
industrial securities does not affect the
chief business of the Black Hills, for
in bringing gold out Of the earth the
miners are producing the standard OF
value itself, says the New York Trib-
une The Black Hills are no Klon-
dixie, with miles Of auriferous beach,
and to work the low grade ore bodies
are required; but the veins are big
and paying body once well developed
gives steady and fairly sure returns.
The Introduction Of the cyanide and
chlorination processes, with their ca
pacities for treating refractory ore and
for saving the small percentage or
the precious metal formerly wasted by
free milling, has meant much to the
mining regions Of South Dakota. In
cidentally, it has robbed the miner out
of Job of sure source of income.
for the tailings, the waste from the
big stamp mills, are now being sent
by pipe lines to the cyanide plants, In
stead OF being turned into the creek
bottoms for the miners to wash out
for placer gold.
The Black Hills, though only
stretch Of country some 100 miles long
by sixty wide, is the third largest pro-
Queer Of the gold fields of the world.
And yet the ore runs from 81 to $15
ton, with the average much nearer the
lower figure. OF course. this means
that the mines must be run on large
scale and the large sums of Eastern
capital invested in and near Lead
show that there Is abundant faith In
the low grade proposition.
Rich ore is rare. Now and then
there Is some lucky prospector like
Otto z. TIL Gantz, the German miner,
who. after nearly fifty years of pros
peetlng in the West, took out ore from
a claim near Lead that assayed as
high as So, 900 to the ton. But such
cases are not frequent.
Mining In the Black Hills shows
more plainly than usual the import
ance of modern methods. The pioneers
found placer mining profitable In the
creek beds; then the quartz seemed
a good paying proposition and yielded
about $50 a ton when crushed In the
ry-stamp mill. But this lasted only
q little while; then the ore became re-
fractoy and OF a lower grade ana
only the Introduction OF modern metn-
DDS has meant prosperity to the South
Dakota mines. Since 1876 the output
Of the region has been more tnan
$40 600. 900. out of which one mine
~ na,d some $40 600. 900 In dividends

reality.

DEPUTY WRIGHT
U. S. Attorney Woodwork
Returns on Government Or
der to Pursue the Frauds

United States District Attorney Mar
shall B. Woodwork returned from the
country yesterday, having been sum
moned to his office by an urgent tele-
gram from Washington. The telegram
instructed him to investigate and prose-
cute George A. Wright and all other
persons in the office of United States
Internal Revenue Collector Lynch
whom he might discover to have been
short in their accounts at any time, ir-
respective Of the fact that the short
ages may have subsequently been made
good.
Mr.. Woodwork said yesterday that
he had not had time to familiarize him
self with the case of Wrights shortage
of $4,000, but would Immediately look
into the papers and have conference
with Special Revenue Agent Bert M.
Thomas He added that several days
would probably elapse before he would
be ready to move in the matter. and
that If he then found that a crime had
been committed he would lose no time
in prosecuting the guilty parties
1t is believed that Wright is not the
only offender in the Office. Others be-
sides him wagered money on the races
and were so unfortunate as to pick
out the wrong horses. Others frequent
e dthe crystal palaces Of the tenderloin-
These, however, made good before they
were dtected, but whe nthe tide receded
Wright was discovered high and dry in
the fierce white blaze Of publicity.
1t has been pointed out that the
greater number Of John c. Lynch's ap-
pointees were selected at the dictation
of leaders of the party machine in this
State, and there has been much COM
ment among business men as to the
careless methods prevailing in that Of
flee. A weIl-known business man in
formed a Government official recently
that on one occasion he was handed
greater value Of stamps than the
money paid by him called for, and that
upon discovering the error after he had
left the revenue Office he returned and
refunded the excess. He said that the
man who gave him the stamps was IN
der the influence of liquor.
These and other matters displaying
carelessness and incompetency have
been reported to Agent Thomas, and In
consequence his investigation will be
directed not against Wright alone, but
into the affairs and management of
every branch of the office.
In Justice to Collector Lynch it must
be said that uD to a year ago the de-
partment at Washington rated the ac-
counts of his office high for accuracy
and regularity. but the fact that $4,000
could be withheld by one employe
shows that something was wrong with
the department bookkeeping.

OBTAINS MONEY
ON BAD CHECKS
S. w. VuIiceyich Makes Use
of Names of Candidates
i'm His Swindling Game

s. ". Vulicevich was arrested by De-
tective Egan on Friday night and
locked I'D in the tanks" at the City
Prison pending further investigation.
He has been in trouble before, and this
time he is accused Of passing a number
OF fictitious checks on saloon-keepers
and others on the water front He has
been using on the checks the names Of
candidates who are seeking the suf-
frages Of the electors.
Vulicevich succeeded in passing three
checks, each for 81 So drawn on the
AngIo-Californian Bank and purporting
10 be signed by Judge J. NJ. Trout, on
/. o. Wilkens, saloon-keeper at Wash
ington and Davis streets. He was so
pleased with his success that he pre-
sented Wilkens with another check for
SO. also purporting to be signed by
Judge Trout.
About a week ago Vulicevich passed
a check with the same signature on P.
Besson Of w. D. Ever & Co.. employ
'ment agents, 610 Clay street. The check
was for 81 So but Besson only ad-
vanced him 81. It is expected that many
others Will be heard from.
When searched at the City Prison a
check for 81 so purporting to be signed
by e. A. Hayes" and drawn on the
San Francisco National Bank, was
found in his pocket, besides an applica-
tion form for appointment as inspector

FEDERAL JURY
BREAKS RECORD
Eleven Charges Passed Over
and Only Two Indictments
Are Found by That Body

The United States Grand Jury broke
the record yesterday in the matter of
passing over charges. Out of thirteen
cases brought before it only two indict-
ments were found. The eleven cases
ignored had been presented during the
absence Of United States District At
torney Woodwork in the country on
official business. He was very much
surprised yesterday on his return to
find that so large number of charges
had been ignored. The eleven cases are
as follows:
Charles A. Jensen, charged with hav-
ing while Postmaster at Cordelia failed
to deposit $1421 SS with the treasury Of
the United States on April 81, 1904;
Charles Saxon and Howard Quimby
charged with having unlawfully as
saulted a United States teacher at
Hoopa about January /, 1904; Hong
Fat Company, charged with having vio-
lated the hydraulic mining law on June
9, 1904; Isaac Smith, charged with
smuggling 199 cigars on September 1,
1904; H. Thompson, charged with hay-
ing marooned a mariner on August 4,
1904, at Punta Arena, Central America;
Frances de Souze, charged with snug
Cling two dressed ostrich feathers Octo-
Der 81, 1904: George Nichols, charged
with smuggling 100 cigars on September
l, 1904: D. J. Callaghan, charged with
smuggling thirty-six silk caps on July
1, 1904 Geronimo Rodriguez, charged
with having uttered a forged United
States Shipping Commissioners certifi-
cate on July II, 1904; John Leslie,
charged with having disposed of sub
sistence stores Of the United States on
August II, 1904, to F. w. Arnold for So,
and Joseph de Benedetti, charged with
violating section 1926 of the Revised
Statutes.
Two indictments were presented, one
against Juan Sanchez for stealing GER
tain jewelry from Thomas A. Pearce at
the Presidio, and the second against
Olaf Anderson for beating and wound
ing a Kanaka, John Saunders, on board
the schooner Vine on July 1, 1904.
Postmaster Jensen had refunded the
$1421 held by him, and the jury took
pity upon him and his family and con-
sidered that he had been sufficiently
punished by reason Of the exposure and
consequent disgrace. The petty snug
Cling cases were dismissed because the
punishment was too severe for the
crime.

Condition of ohannel-street Sewer.

The Board of Public Works yester-
day filed a report with the Supervisors
that the Channel-street sewer is in
good condition except between Fiji
teenth and Sixteenth streets. where it
is badly cracked, owing to the cars
of the Southern Pacific Company pass
ing over 1t at that point. At the cross
ing of Eighth, Kansas and Division
streets the electric conduit of the San
Francisco Gas Company projects into
the sewer, and, acting as a dam.
causes the street to become flooded.
The company promised to remove the
conduit, but has not done so.
