 The decision is @ victory for the International Trust Companyoi Boston, represented iu Alaska by shakleiOrd X Lyons.

MINING IN THE BLACK HILLS.

DEADWOOD, S. D., Jan. 24.-The question of building an aerial ramWay between this city and the mines Of the Bald Mountain district for the trans portation of ore is being agitated by the Business Mems club of this city. With but one or two exceptions the companies operating on Bald Mountain have their mills in Deadwood and pay heavy charges to the railroads to get their ore where it can be treated. With the present freight rates 50 cents a ton for all S6 ore and a sliding scale for the higher grades, it is impossible for many of the companies to make fair profit Transportation of the ore over an aerial tramway would reduce the cost by half at least. It would be necessary to build the tramway a dis tance of about seven miles with spurs running to the different mines, the es- timated cost per mile being from Sl3,- 0Oe to $14.000. The total cost approx mates $150,O00. The closing down of the Bald Mountain mines at present because of their inability 10 grant the eight-hour day demanded by the labor operatives, as it is thought that but for the high freight rates the companies would be in position to grant the de- mand.
