Lead, S. D., July 28.-The Horseshoe
company has made another rich clean
a two weeks run A lease has been TAX
en- by the company on the old Snowstorm
shaft thru which ore from the Ben Hur
mine will be hoisted. The company is
making regular shipments to Denver OF
the high-grade ore taken from the Ben
Hur mine. The mill Is dropping seventy
stamps, which gives capacity Of close
to $50 tons OF ore a day. One district in
this mine is so full Of ore that 1t is called
1.-The farm These chutes in some in
stances are 800 to 900 feet in width and
ter to forty feet in thickness and several
miles in length.
Rich ore has been encountered in the
|1cng tunnel of the Lexington Hill prop
erty A tunnel is being driven 800 feet
to strike a ledge of quartzite ore. Unex-
pectedly some vertical veins were cut thru
which carry high values. The company
is planning to enlarge its mill to 200 tons
a day.
Shipments Of ore have commenced on
the Eleventh Hour property, on the west
ern edge of the Ragged Top district. There
are several chutes Of ore supposed to be

The Homestake company is dropping
1000 stamps in its six mills The Anxious
mill was recently enlarged with 100
stamps, making it 800 stamps altogether.
This is the largest stamp mill in the
world. The company is hosting and
treating more than four thousand tons OF
ore every twenty -four hours. Some i'm
! portant experiments are being carried on
at the experimental plant on the shines
which carry value in the ore. Several
persons from the east are here working
on the problem. 1t is expected that some
one Of the processes will be perfected suf-
Efficiently to treat the shines the same as
the tailings are being treated, which will
add greatly to the daily saving on the ore
The company offers a royalty on the shines
thus treated, which makes it an incentive
for inventors to work on the process
ID. G. Boley Of Deadwood says he has {
process perfected.
The first carload of ore has been shipped
: from the Black Hills to the experimental
plant at the worlds fair. It was takel
from tie Golden Reward mine at Terry
The next shipment will be taken from tn

Unique Summer Resort
The Inside Inn at the Worlds Fair Al
fords Unexce1led Advantages for
the Sojourner During the
Hot Months.
Costs Less Than Equally Good Accom-
naodatfOns Outside the Fair
Grounds

modations Outside the Fair
Grounds.
The biggest summer resort hotel in
the United States is located at st.
Louis, inside the Worlds fair grounds.
Thousands of persons spend month
or SO at the seashore or in the noun
tains, during the heated term, at sum-
n1er resort hotels. This year those who
are able to enjoy an extended season Of
"resorting have something new to
try. Seashore and mountain, after
many seasons pail upon one. But
here is a chance to go summering in a
new and wonderful way.
The Inside Inn accommodates 5000
guests. It is inside the Worlds Fair
1t has all the advantages Of home
In the woods. The natural trees Of
Forest Park surround the Inside Inn.
There are many acres of noble trees,
with the handsome state buildings
here and there, so that the hotel ap-
pears to be located in a select suburb
an section of a beautiful city. Being
open to the south and situated on
high ground, there is an unobstructed
sweep of southern breezes. Far away
from the dust and CRIME of the city,
md yet within a few minutes walk of
the heart Of the Worlds Fair, this
hotel offers greater inducements as a
place of summer resort than any other
hostelry in the world this season.
The Inn is far from the seashore,
but it is SO near the wonderful Cas-
cade Gardens of the Exposition that
the roar of the leaping and dashing
waters is audible. There is no beach
and board walk, with band-stan6
music; but there is the magnificent
Festival Hall, with its world of ia.
nous orchestras and Its ponderous
pipe organ.
Guests at the Innside hin have al
the comforts Of home while they are
seeing the Worlds fair. and it Is MOI
to be doubted that great many indi.
viduals, families and parties will d.
their summer resorting there thi.
season.

MONTANA
MONTANA'S CLIP
BEST EYER GROWN
STATE REALIZED OVER 100000
FROM IT'S WOOL.
Fully Nine-Tenths of the Product of
the Eastern Part of the State Sold
at Private Sales-Other Markets
Drew from Billings and Cut Down
Receipts There.

Special to The Journal.
Butte, Mont, July 2S.--The 1904 clip OF
wool in Montana was the best ever grown
in the state. The clip in northern Mon
tana ia estimated at 16,S00,00e pounds.
The average price for all this wool has
been 176 cents the range being from l61s
cents to 2Qas cents, and the woolgroWers
have received about $2,90O,000
The severe winter weather In FEBRUARY
and March caused a great many losses
and some pulled wool, but where the
sheep came thru all right the wool was
of remarkably good quality.
Of all the sheep sheared In the north
ern part Of the state, one band, the prop
erty of the Montana Co-operatiye Ranch
company, should take the prize for the
weight of fleece. This band consists OF
1926 Oregon ewes. 1t was purchased last
September from Z. M. Chamberlain, de-.
livery to be made after sheartng, and was
run thru the winter by Mr.. Chamberlain,
who has now delivered to the. new own
ers. The wool clipped from these sheep
weighed 25, 112 pounds, an average OF over
II pounds a head. There have been heaV-
Ter feeces from Wether sheep, but this IS
the heaviest weight from any bald OF
ewes sheared In northern Montana In
1904,
The wool was sold att1sM cents a pound
and brought s4s66.So, or an average OF
| over $2.l4 a Sheep net, SaIterf ZueQuClAiS
freight insurance and shrinkage.
The amount of wool received in Bill
lings this season was much less than last
| year, the total aggregating 100000
| pounds, against 100000 for thes preced-
| ing year. The shortage is believed to be
due to the high cost experienced this
winter in ranging the sheep in the vic1n-
| ity of Billings. The markets OF Cody,
| Wyo. and Lewistown attracted many or
the clips which formerly came to Bill
lings Figuring the shipments from Bill
| lings this season at the average price or
1914 cents a pound, $1,32O,0OO was re-
! ceived for the clips sold there, which Is
about $500, 600 less than was realized last
year. The prices at Billings, however,
have been the best in years, averaging
about cents more a pound, the highest
price being 203z cents.
| So great and eager was the demand 1ol
wool that the public sales In eastern Mon
tana were virtually a sideshow, all the
large clips having been sold before the
sales at the warehouses began. 1t is es.
tin1ated that fully nine tenths Of the WOO
production Of eastern Montana was dis
posed of at private sales.
| Rosebud county marketed close Il
5000, 900 pounds Of wool this season.
A review of the various markets II
Montana places the wool production TO-
the state close to 30,000,000 pounds, ant
the amount paid approximately $5,l4o,ooo
