Mining Items.

The Clara Belle company is making
good progress in their drift and the ore
Is showing up in good shape. Supt.
Frank Hebert was in Custer on Tuesday
and reports all going smoothly at the
mine.
President Van Camp, and two Of the
principal stockholders Of the Ideal Min
ing company, are expected to arrive in
Custer on the 10Th. Mr. Van Camp re,
sides in indianapolis, Indiana, and the
parties will be here on a tour of inspec-
ton. The machinery which arrived
here last week has been hauled to the
mine and is being put in place.
The method Of treating the ore of the
Nevada camps differs somewhat from
the usual methods in the Black Hills ac-
cording to the published statement in
the Mining Investor" The process is
described as follows: The ore is sub.
jected to the stamps, and a concentration
is made on Willy tables. The tailings
are then restamped and passed over
"frue vanners." The shines are then
cyanided with agitation and the failing:
cyanided separately. The precipitation
is effected with zinc shavings in the usu
] al way.

Obituary.

Died at her home in Custer, S. D., on
the morning Of March 9th, 1907, Mrs.
Mary Francis Flynn, beloved wife of
Edwin J. Flynn, aged Al years.
Mrs. Flynn was born at New Rochelle,
n. Y, October 10th, 1866, and was the
daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth Me.
Nance. She was married at Mama
romeck, n. Y, October Goth, 1887, to
Mr.. Edwin j Flynn, Of Elizabeth, n.
j., and came to the Black Hills in 1894.
Mrs. Flynn was the mother of ten
children, two of whom died in infancy
and eight still survive, six boys and two
girls. The oldest of these is Is years of
age, and the youngest but three weeks
old. She also leaves mother, Mrs.
Elizabeth McNamee, two brothers, John
and Robert McNamee, and three sisters,
Mrs. John Flynn, of Keyport, n. j.,
whose husband is a cousin of y. J.
Flynn, Mrs. p. NJ. Sweeney of Red Rock,
Montana, and Mrs. z. NJ. Conlon of
Pringle, S. D., who was her devoted
nurse throughout her late illness, the
nature of which is termed "Puerperal
Septicamie."
She was the niece of Mr.. +. p. Walsh,
cousin to Mrs. L. V. Garlock and Mrs.
Henry Monheim Of Custer. All these,
together with many devoted friends and
acquaintance, are left to mourn the de.
parture Of loving wife and mother and
an affectionate and faithful friend The
sympathy of this whole community goes
out to the bereaved husband and to the
children who are thus left at a tender
age, deprived of the ministeying care of
a loving mother, at a time when they
need her motherly attention the most.
The funeral took place at ths Catholic
church in Custer on Sunday at 2 p. M,
Father Heisman of Deadwood perform
ing the ceremony and administering the
solemn ritual of the church. The choir
was composed of Mr.. I. W. Delicate
NJ. A. Willis, Mrs. NJ. A. Willis and Mrs.
5. y. Fitch, Mrs. w. A. Nevin performed
at the organ.
A large concourse of mourning friends
followed her remains 10 the Custer
cemetery, and within its peaceful pre-
cincts her inanimate form was laid to
rest.
