Mining Outlook for the Hills.

There is prospect, says recent is-
sue of the Mining World, that next
spring viii open up with great increase
in mine development and a demand for
good mining properties in the Black
Hills. A good many people are already
getting in from the east, looking for in
vestments for the spring. The several
mining companies that have been in the
way of new investments are being clear
ed from the market, 80 that investors
are being reassurred of the stability of
Black Hills mining. The Horseshoe
company is now only making plans for
the renodeling of the old Puma mill
which will give it one of the largest cya-
mid, plants in the Black Hills. There is
also strong prospect in the Hidden
Fortune affairs will be Strengthened up
soon and that the Columbus Consolidat-
ed will erect just as soon as possible,
1000 ton stamp mill for the purpose Of
handling the immense quantities OF low
grade ore in the north extension OF the
Homes;ake veins. These three com
panss have some excellent properties
and there is no question about the quan
tity of the ore exposed. Every month
sees an increase in the amount of bullion
produced from tn. old mines. This in
crease comes about through the improve
menls in the saving of the values in the
mills and also in the increased tonnage.
Nearly every mill has been enlarged by
ons-Quarter to one-half the capacity, and
from per cent to : per cent increase
has been made in the extraction. The
close of the year will show marked
gain in the general average extraction
in the different mills. 1t was hoped at
the beginning Of the year that tin would
be added to the output Of the Black
Hills for the year, but such has not been
the case to any large extent. The Tin
ton Tin Mining company, which began
in earnest, has not done anything for
the year, owing to internal disagree
ments. Sufficient ore was run through
the mill, however, TO demonstrate that
the ore carries good value and could
be made commercial proposition. The
little testing mill at Hill City, which was
built by the townspeople of that place
to demonstrate the value of the ore in
the Gertie tin mine, may make show
ing yet before the close of the year
Mining men believe that there is sufii-
cient lin in the Black Hills to pay very
handsomely when operated on a large
scale.

SWEDISH GIRLS VICTIMS
OF CLEVER SWINDLER
Hoping to Receive Presents From the
Fatherand, Entrust Stranger
With Money

An unidentified Swede has been
working a swindle for some time in
Los Angeles and vicinity victimizing
working girls of his own nationality
and in each case reported he has Sc
cured So
In some way, probably through the
aid of confederate who has access
to the records of the immigration
bureau, he has secured the names of a
large number of Swedish women who
have come to this country during the
past year and also information as from
what part of Sweden they came.
He calls on woman and introduces
himself, giving any name which he
thinks best, and tells his intended vic
tim that before coming to this country
he became acquainted with her people
in the old country. After telling her
all about the way the homeland looks.
ETC., he says he has just arrived at San
Pedro by steamer and will have to
leave Immediately for the north by the
same steamer.
Then he says that when he left
Sweden he was intrusted with a box
of goods from the girls people at home
and that it was then aboard the
steamer. While the freight had been
prepaid the duty had been more than
expected and it would take $40 to get
the box through the custom house.
After telling the girl, who is more
than anxious to get the present from
home, that if he had the money he
would pay the duty himself, but that
he is not able to do this and that if she
will give him the $40 he will have the
box delivered to her Immediately. In
each case the money has been handed
over and the swindler left, but no box
has appeared.
From complaints made by a Swedish
minister members of his flock have lost
about $50, The majority of the cases
are in Los Angeles, but one is reported
from Long Beach. The swindler called
at 1916 Grover street yesterday MORN
ing and secured the amount he regu-
larly asks for, giving the name of OIL
sen in this instance.

MANILA, Jan. SO.-Habeas corpus
has been suspended in the provinces
of Cavite and Batangas. Major Cen

Federal troops, consisting of detach-
ments of picked sharpshooters, work
in conjunction with the native scouts
and the constabulary. Federal troops
garrison the towns and martial law
has practically been established.
The present situation in the two

The force of the bandit ladrones is
estimated at 500. The bandits have in
