PROPRIETOR
OMAHA LIVE STOCK MARKET.

SOUTH OMAHA, Dec. 3, 1906.
After Monday last week the run OF
cattle decreased materially, and although
the trade started out weak and lower,
closing prices averaged steady to strong
on the desirable kinds of killing steers
Western steers generally hardly carry
the flesh ss earlier in the season, but
prices have changed but little during
the past month Top cattle would sell
around $500 or little better, while
very fair kinds are selling any where
from S4 % up. The good kinds of COWS
and heifers have also held up well and
prices show little change from a week
or two ago. Good to choice COWS and
heifers are selling at $40 a. SO 50; real
choice spayed hefers close to S4.OO; lair
to good cows S2.75 G9 1925; Gamers and
cutters Sl.75 Ia $3.50.
The inquiry has continued strong and
active for the desirable kinds Of stockers
and feeders, while the common kinds Of
light cattle are rather draggy. Good to
choice heavy weights have changed but
little for the past month, and at present
are selling at $4.25 "a $3.50; fair to good
S4. 90 @ $4.25 good to choice light and
medium weights $3.50 a. s4.25; fair to
good 81 80 "a $3.50.
There are moderate runs ofgrass sheep
at this time, and it appears the season Is
about finished. The trade held about
steady all last week, feeders showing the
heaviest part of the supply. Good kill

The Granite Reef Mines.

As we stated two weeks ago this group
of claims have been recently sold to Mr.
r. G. Gillespie of Pittsburg, Pa, who
has paid to the owners 81 900 90 Down
and the balance of S20,00000 is to be
paid on the l4th of March, 1907. This
property is situated about two miles
southeasterly from Custer and occupies
for the most part the ridge lieing east Of
the Custer and Hot Springs wagon road.
The group consists of ten full claims of
600 by 1900 feet and two fractions, and
includes the house and improvements Of
ranch property of Mr.. &. w Robbins
and James Demereau who have owned
and developed the property for the last
twenty years. All the claims have been
opened by shallow shafts and open cuts,
and each disclose large veins Of ore of
good grade, while the Granite Reef
proper has a tunnel into the mountain
to DEPTH of 800 feet, and shaft 60 feet
deep. The ore in what is called "the
main vein" is ten feet in width and is
known to be refractory, containing plati-
mum with its alloys, copper, tin, anti
mony, wolfram, bismuth, but what is
best of all it contains 1921 90 per ton in
gold. 1t is the purpose of Mr.. Gillespie
to further develop the different mines,
and when the "ore in sight" is sufficient
to justify to put up mill of large capac-
| ity to treat the ore on the ground.
AS TO the success of this enterprise the
writer holds no question if the ore is
properly treated. To this end many
experiments have been made in the
past and still many more will have to be
made in the future to ascertain the very
best process for saving the values in this
ore. Mr. Dan McGonigal is superintend-
ent of the work at the mines.

The New York-Custer Mining Co.

This is corporation which has lately
taken over the property known to our
people as the Newark group of mines
and the Turk group combined, aggregat-
ing in all 2l quartz claims and placer
claim of so acres. The property is situ-
ated on Crow creek near it's junction
with French creek, and has long been
known as one of the richest aggregation
of gold mines in Custer county.
We rejoice that this property has got
into able hands who will go on with de-
velopment and will at the proper time
put up mill adapted to the treatment of
the ore. 1t is the avowed purpose of
the company to Immediately puta hoist
ing plant with air compressor drills,
pump and all the appliances of an up
to date plant. This will be placed at
the main shaft which has now attained
the depth of 100 feet, and is in large
body Of ore of good grade. The mill
contemplated is designed to be of a
capacity of 200 tons per day and will
probably be arranged to treat the ore
by the cyanide process which has been
brought to the greatest perfection in the
Black Hills Of South Dakota. The writ.
er is familiar with this property from
the day it was first struck and has al
ways had the utmost confidence in its
ultimate favorable outcome,

Mining Items.

1t is reported that the Golden Reward
mill at Deadwood, which has been un-
dergoing a change in many respects, is
now nearing completion and will be
ready to start up about January 10Th for
a continuous run.
Mr.. S. I. McKenney, the mining man
from Salt Lake, and who is on visit to
Custer, has just returned from a trip to
the northern camps. Among others he
visited the Branch Mint at Galena and
pronounces it the most perfect and up
to date mill he has seen in all the west
This IS saying a good deal, and we con-
gratulate Mr.. James Harding, the man
ager, and commend him for his energy
and ability in erecting perfect mill.
DR., II. B. Meade Of Los Angeles, Cali
fornia, has secured an interest in the
Great Northern group of tin claims, stu
ated one and a half miles east of Berne.
He was in Custer the first of the week
and made arrangements to do some de.
velopment work on the ground. A tun-
mel that was drove into the hill num-
Der of years ago, will be extended and
the ledge will be thoroughly prospected.
This ground was known in the early
days of the camp as the Old Mike Mica
mine.

month at $3.50 per car, loaded at Mayo
on the Burlington.
November's carload has already been
delivered, and they are working on the
December shipment The ore has to be
hauled three miles, but is easy to mine,
Mr.. Bond deserves his good fortune, for

THE SOUTHERN QUEEN.
There is fair probability that the
Southern Queen copper mines which are
located at the mouth of French creek
canyon will shortly receive the investi.
eating probiags of diamond drill. This
property consisting of three claims has
produced several car loads Of the richest
copper ore ever shipped from the Black
Hills, or for that matter from any other
camp. This ore run so per cent metallic
copper per ton in carload lots, and in
richness so far as we can learn it is the
record. The ore bodies lie fiat in the
limestone formation and are found in
irregular chambers, the largest one thus
far opened being 10 feet in width, 100
feet in length and four feet in thickness.
The purpose Of the parties who will ap.
ply the diamond drill will be to locate a
number of these chambers and then
sink shaft down to the contact and
take out ore. The mine is owned by
