The Clara Belle.

Mr. Geo Saith, the mill builder and
contractor, came in from the Clara Belle
mine on Wednesday, and returned in
the evening Mr. Smith reports the mill
is We'll under way and viii be completed
in about three weeks. That IS SO far as
the stamp mill is concerned, but it viii
take sometime longer before the cyanide
tanks are added and the plant is COM
plete. The Old shaft which followed
the vein on its dip in a manner more or
less irregular for 800 feet in depth lit
was intended rs a prospect shaft became
at last very inconyenient for hoisting
and the new working shaft was started
The new shaft is being sunk perpendi-
cular and has reached depth of about
30 feet 1t is designed to strike the
main ore body which is about eight feet
in width and is high grade ore stope-
ing viii then be well advanced and the
mill will start up with good supply of
ore on hand and should be able 10 run
steadily and continuously Mr. Frank
Hebert is still at the mine, while his
brother Charles is residing at Hot
Springs where he is wife is undergoing
treatment for rheumatism. Everything
is going on smoothly at the mine and
good progress is being made. Mr.
smiths object IN coming to Custer at
this time was for the purpose of getting
more men to work in the mine and mill
One interesting feature of the new
plant (Which they are putting in is
"classitier' which Mr.. S. describes as a
long box tank with an inclined bottom,
down which runs a belt carrier with
buckets This carrier steals the tailings
from the bottom of the tank without agi-
tatlon, and dumps them on the outside
of the tank, ready to be treated with cy-
anide solution from which the gold is
preCipitated by running through the
zine boxes. The object of this is to al
low the shines 10 rise TO the top and
float off and over one end Of the tank
into a settling tank when they also are
ready to be cyanided. These tailings
and shines together will assay $500 per
ton, which is good illustration to us of
what the free milling plant has been
wasting all the years il has been run in
the past. Frank says he knew all this
time but he could not help himself az
I'VE have to creep before we can walk /"
and as the little mill was making money
by amagamation Notwithstanding the
waste he kept it going as best he could.
We rejoice that the mine was rich
enough to bring him ont and he is now
on easy street, while his company are
in good shape to 20 on and make for
tune out of the Clara Belle.
At the regular annual meeting held
last week at the companys property
near Orevile, the old officers were re.
elected. They are George II, Hulett
president A. r. Teachout, treasurer; !;
Walter $ Lister secretary G. Q. Bart
lett, general manager, and &. +. Dale,
superintendent All these men are from
Cleveland and are the gentlemen who
recently purchased the property from
the Heberts. Mr. Dale is regarded as a
Black Hills man and an excellent min
er. who viii no doubt make the Clara
Belle one of the best properties in the
Hills

EMPLOYMENT FOR ALL.
Mica Works Starts Operating as Prom
lsed MAY FIRST

lsed May First
Tuesday morning, May lst has come
and gone, bat unlike most days it will
long be remembered by ,he citizens of
this vicinity as il marked the beginning
Of a new enterprise, an open field for an
unapplled labor, and the best Of all the
operating Of one Of the largest corpora
tions in the world, The Westinghouse
Electric aud Manufacturing Go, But it
IS needless To again 20 over the merit Of
having such company locate here, as
all are familiar with what baS been said
IN the previous issues of this paper az to
the advantages for not only the city but
the entire Black Hills district therefore
We shall 20 on TO the main mission Of
this article
As mentioned above the factory began
its operations Tuesday, but owing to the
incomplete condition OF the building
not many could be put on to work, IN
fact the first day saw but six BOYS in
stalled on the pay roll, one more record
ed the day following, while Thursday
found an increase of three This force
Is entirely inadequate to meet the re-
qurements of the company as not less
than sixty must be working by Monday
next and the number increased as fast
rs facilities will permit until about two
hundred are employed AS quite a
number of families from surrounding
cities such as Denver Omaha, Lincoln
etc, are arranging to locate in Gus
ter within the next few weeks, it would
be best for those in the immediate yicin-
ity To apply for work at once and by the
time the former arrive, will be eX peri
enced in the work 1t is the intention
Of Mr.. Meyer and Mr. Murdock to pick
out the more efficient ones TO act as in
struCtors and inspectors in the near iut-
| ure SO those having the advantage of a
few weeks training should show i'm
prOvement over those less fortunate in
starting early. 1t may be said right here
that this does not imply that those com
| ing later viii not have a chance to fill
positions as mentioned above, for it will
rest entirely with the boy or girl as to
who viii advance.
Mr. Meyer and Mr. Murdock met the
committee of the Custer City CONNER
cial CLUB Thursday evening and
the mentioned gentlemen assured
the committee that everything
would be in readiness Monday morning.
May 7th, to increase the present number
OF employees to 60, and il is hoped that
all the boys and girls of this vicinity, and
as many AS possible from the outlying
districts, will be on hand Monday morn
ing prepared to show what Custer can
do towards the support and success OF
the new industry.

Letter to the PUBLIC.

Elsewhere in this issue will be seen =
notice of a change in the business of
the Nj. j. Bailey Co. The personnel Of
this company has always been W. +.
Hanley and NJ j. Bailey, The writer
has always had the management of the
business 1t seems hardly possible, and
vet the records show that We have been
doing business in Custer for nearly six

that we make this change, for one
becomes attached to his business, as he
does to bis friends We have enjoyed
the business tilts with our competitors,
who in the main, We are glad to say,
have been honorable men. We wish 10
thank the public for the liberal patron
age given us during these years and we
bespeak for Mr. Hanley, who will con
tinue the general merchandise business,
the same liberal patronage enloyed by
the old company. We are sure hls
motto will be The Square Deal" 1t ls
the writer's intimate acquaintance tor
twenty wears that leads us TO so predict.
La closing, permit us to say, that during
these wears of business We have not
knowingly wronged any man. We ex-
meet to live in Custer and prosecute the
iumber business so when yon have cot
tape to bnid or Il mansion for your
Queen, cali on MS and we will fit you out
to the Queen taste.
