The Keystone Recorder reports the
water in the Holy Terror mine as hav'
ing been lowered to the 400 foot level
The work has progressed remarkably in
spite of the many little delays necessar-
lily met with in such an undertaking
Manager McNulty thinks that unless
some great unforeseen delay prevents, he
will be to the 500 level some time next
week. The largest volume of water
they have yet encountered lies between
the fourth and fifth levels and with or
binary good fortune the large pump on
the fifth will be reached in the expected
time.
ID. c. Baker returned on the 10th from
New York, where he has been for the
past two months in the interest of the
New York-Custer Mining Corporation
He was accompanied by Alex Cam
meron, Jr., of New York, the secretary
of the company. We understand that
the affairs OF the company will be salts
factorily adjusted to all parties concern
ed, and plans for future operations ar
ranged as soon as the president, Mr.
Alex Cammeron, Sr., arrives, which will
be some time next week. Mr.. Cammer-
on is very favorably impressed with the
mineral resources of the Southern Black
Hills.
Mr.. L. P. Woodbury., formerly con-
nected with the Saginaw Gold Mining
Company, Is reported to have been max
ing good since leaving Custer. He and
Mr.. Ike Ostrom have recently made
strike near the town of Allegheny, in
the northeastern part of California, from
which both ought to make fortune. A
specimen from their find was shown us
last Tuesday by Mr.. Thos. Carroll which
was sprnkled with nuggets of gold.
The ledge from which the specimen was
taken is said to be 80 feet wide. Mr.
Woodbury. passed through Edgemont
last Monday with his family on his way
to Seattle, Washington, and Mr.. Carroll
met him there by appointment. 1t is
rumored that Mr.. Carroll is making ar
rangements 70 shortly leave Custer to
take charge Of the property.
WORK Is RESUMED.
One Of the most important events in
mining way that has happened in the
Southern Hills for some time, says the
Keystone Recorder, was the resumption
Of work at the Ivanhoe mine. DR.. Rate,
president of the Ivanhoe company re-
turned from the east week ago, where
he has been trying to interest capitalists
in the property. Notwithstanding the
mad rush of many for Nevada property,
Mr.. Rate had little trouble getting men
who have had considerable experience
in mining Investments to take hold of |
the Ivanhoe mine He now has sutfi- |
cient capital, it is thought to carry the
work through till the mine is on pay
ing basis.
At present there is a 2O0.foot shaft on |
the property and considerable drifting
has been done on the vein of very rich |
ore. There is fine sampling mill on
the property with capacity of about |
five stamps. This and the other machin- |
cry at the mine represents an outlay of
over $4,000. Mining men say that the
outfit is one of the best in the Hills off |
size. The company has about twenty
claims in all.
A large force of men are now at work |
on the property. Herman Tilman is
superintendent. The boarding house is
in charge of Robert Morton and family. |
