Mining Items.

The Joe Dollar mine, according to re-
ports, is opening up in fine shape and is
creating quite an enthusiasm in that
good little.burg called Hill City.
The deepest gold mine in the world is
at Bendigo, Victoria This shaft is 1900
feet deep and ore has been taken from
the bottom that yielded one ounce of
gold per ton.
The Holy Terror. K eystone Mining
company will hold directors meeting
on the 10th of May at Beulah, Wyom.
ing, and will then be able to say at what
time they will resume work on the mine.
Heavy bodies move slow"
The annual meeting of the stockhol-
ders of the Clara Belle Mining company
will be held in Cleveland, Ohio, on the
23rd day of April, 1907, at one O'Clock D.
m., at which time board of directors
will be elected and such other business
transacted as may properly be brought
before the meeting.
DR.. N, H. Conger, superintendent and
general manager of the Aurizone Min
ing company, has returned from the
east The annual meeting of the stock
holders is to be held in a short time,
and at that meeting arrangements will
be made for extensive work on the
mines during the summer. The prop
erty of the company lies -four miles due
east of Deadwood and consists of four
teen claims, all mineral bearing
DR.. J. A. Ogden of Deadwood expects
to have the Globe mill in readiness to
treat ore by his improved cyanide pro-
cess by the first of May. 1t was the or.
iginal design to have a portion of the
mill devoted to custom work SO tba,
outside parties might ship their ores and
have them treated by the car load lots
We hope this plan has not been chang
ed, as We anticipated that that process
would be of considerable benefit to some
of us in Custer who have refractory ores
The Auburn Gold Mining and Millins
company, whose group of claims is stu
ated near Mystic, have a mine which fol
quality and quantity of ore is very
promising enterprise. The people o
Mystic and vicinity are banking on th'
outcome of that mine and mill and WI
hope they will not be disappointed
They will not be if all we hear abou
that property is true. Their mill is o
80 tons capacity and is said TO be up t,
date in every particular. Mr.. w. ii
Stowell is Supt. in charge.
Mr.. James Demereau, the veteran
prospector of Custer, while doing tn,
annual assessment work on the Ontario
fraction has come down onto a vein o
ore that is rich in platinum. The widtl
of the ore body has not been ascertainet
but at depth of eleven feet the shat
is all in ore. In addition to platinum
this ore carries gold, silver and lead bu
the main ore is platinum. The test
thus far made have been qualitativ
and not quanttive but further tests wi
be made rs the work progresses.
1t is announced that the Interstat
Mining company, whose property is sill
uated eight miles northwest from Gus
ter, have completed the survey of thei
| oIo;.,a and xy;n compapca mi m inc n
the first of May. This is one of the mos
promising groups Of mines in Custe
county, and they have already consider
able development work done with
shaft down 200 feet and most ezcellen
showing. We expect to hear good rs
ports from the work of this compan
when they get started. w. r. Millhar
will be in charge.
