PLANS o MILL.
Two H~undrad-Ton Cyanide Plant for
the Victoria.

Two Hundrad-Ton Cyanide Plant for
the Victoria.
George s. Jackson, general manager
Of the Victoria Mining company, and
James Hartgering, the Deadwood
millwright, have gone to Omaha to
consult with the officers and directors
of that company upon the mill plans.
1t is expected that a contract will be
let to Mr.. Hartgering for a .200-ton
cyanide plant that will be built at the
company's mine in the Spearnsh can
yon, about twelve miles west of this
city. A number of prominent officials
Of the Burlington railway are heavy
stockholders in this mining company.
The company has done very extensive
development work, which has resulted
In the disclosure of ore enough for
several years with the full capacity Of
the mill in operation. The mill
wright, James Hartgering, has con-
Btructed two-thirds of the mills in the
Black Hills.
The Deer Lick Mining company has
commenced a new shaft following a
vertical vein Of ore. 1t is expected
that quartzite will be reached between
200 and 300 feet deep. The ore in the
vertical averages about $6 a ton in
gold. A steam hosting plant is to be
installed. Recently the company has
been r~eorganiZed and a number OF
prominent business men of Kirksville,
Mo-, have invested money. ]. e. Wad-
dill Of Kirksville is president.
Six thousand tons of ore were brOk-
en down in one blast by the Wasp No.
? Mining company last week in their
Yellow Creek mine south Of Dead
wood. 1t required fifty-six kegs Of
black powder. This is the first blast
Ing that has been done by this COM
pany since early last fall, when the
company fired a charge of fifty kegs of
powder which broke down 5000 tons
Of ore. 1t is possible for this COM
pany to use this method of blasting on
account of the fiat shoot of ore which
has a face thirty to Atty feet thick.
The holes are put down from the sur
face to the bottom of the shoot in
lows, are filed with black powder and
hen discharged. The large boulders
Of ore are broken by small power
drills. In this way the ore is mined
rery cheaply. The company's mill has
been enlarged to $50 tons daily, which
IS kept in constant operation. The
company has been paying a dividend
regularly for some time past to seven
Lead and Deadwood business men who
own the stock. 1t is working the low
est grade of ore in the Black Hills
and is operated at the smallest ex-
pense.
As soon as frost is out of the ground in
The spring ground will be broken for
the new mill to be built by the Big
Lead Gold Mining company near Rou-
baix.

At that time the region was famous as

consider ever a proposition to sell his

the squirrel in charge of a neighbor
The neighbor, when attending to the
animal, accidentally left the door of its
cage open, and, without being seen, il
made it's escape.
On his return, the owner of the
squirrel was very angry at the mar fol
his carelessness, and brought an &C

then gave the following as his deci

CHAPTER xiil.-(continued.)
Then he turned to Matilda and led
her to a sofa, and comforted her; and
the men-servants came and took away
the dead body and laid it, as Anthony
wished, on his old masters bed.
And in the great salon, now cleared
OF it's offending visitors, Cymlin sat
comforting Matilda and finally ques-
toned her in a way that compelled
her to rely, in some measure, upon
him.
Stephen was here yesterday" he
asked.

yet the mail-rider, under oath,

phen who robbed the mail"
She laughed queerly.
But II 1t was not Stephen, who was
it," he insisted, and he looked with
such a steady, confident gaze into Ma.
tilda's face that she crimsoned to her
finger-tips. She could not meet his
eyes, and she could not speak.

The Remedy Used by Mr.. Schroeppel and

In the winter of 1923 Mr.. Schroeppel
was confined to his bed by a sever at
tack of rheumatism. His doctors treat
ment proved unsuccessful, but he subse-
quently regained his health by lean
which he describes with great enthu-
siasm.
"After five or six weeks Of helpless
ness and PAIN" said he, during which

doctor, I felt as bad Us ever. Just then
my mother, a woman eighty years Of
age, paid me a visit. She had received

tige of the disease had been eradicated.

Absolutely none. For q year and
three months there has never been the
slightest return of the old trouble. For
this happy result l and my family freely
praise DR.. Williams Pink Pills"
Within the bounds of China township,
st. Clair county, Mich, there is nc bet
ter known farmer than Mr.. Henry
Schroeppel. His cure has therefore nat
urally attracted a great deal of attention.
One of Mr.. Schroeppel's neighbors. Cap
tain George Balfour, after hearing Of the
salutary results in Mr.. S~chroeppel's case,
decided 10 try DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for an attack of rheumatism from which
he was himself suffering! He took eight
or ten boxes and now declares himself
free from the painful ailment."
It is little wonder that DR.. Willians'
Pink Pills are much in favor in the osm.
