MINES AND MINING.

matter whether it goes through to Hong
Kong or climbs tree stay with it.
The property of the Success Gold Min
ing Company, near Roubaix, has devel.
oped to such an extent that the direc-
tors have decided to erect mill on it.
The Dakota and Imperial Mining COM
panies in Lawrence county have con-
solidated and it is thought a great ad-
vantage to both companies will be the
result. Mr.. r. d. Jamison is manager.
The Hill City News says, Mr.. Hazlett,
who has an option on the Niagara prop
erty has taken another bond on the
Northern Light property in the Tiger.
vile district. 1t is free milling propo-
sition and has a good surface showing.
The Golden West mine west of Roch-
ford has been seriously damaged by the
recent food by the washing away of
their dam and the destruction of their
water power. But with true mining
grit the management say that they will
soon have all that fixed better than be.

plant. We are satisfied they will do it
too, and why? Because they have got
the ore in sight to pay for it, and can
show it. That's what makes the differ.
ence.
Mr.. r. G. Gillespie, who has been
here several days, went over to look at
the Niagara mine on the oath and re-
turned Tuesday afternoon. In reply to
the question "how do you like it ?" His
reply was that he couldn't tell much
about it as they were not deep enough.
They are now down about forty feet,
and will cross cut the vein at the 80 foot
level, to ascertain its width between
walls 1t is known to be over nine feet
wide and prospects fairly well in the
pan.
The boiler for the pump which will be
installed at the Catawasa was hauled
out to the mine last Tuesday, and the
engine will follow as soon as it arrives.
The water has been very troublesome of
late owing to the heavy rains, and it has
been impossible to make much progress
in the shaft, which has now attained q
depth of about so feet. The vein holds
about four feet wide at the bottom, and
maintains its grade in free gold and tel
luride, which shows heavy concen-
trate in the pan.
We are pleased to chronicle another
rich strike in gold discovered by George
and William Schenk and Judge A. T.
Feay. The mines which are called the
Goldfeld group are located at the Ernest
Bellemore ranch and consist of five
claims called the Goldfield and the
Wandering Boys mines. We have seen
some of the samples which consist Of
quartz with a heavy crust of what has
the appearance of vanadium through
which is sprinkled an abundance of
course free gold. This strike was made
about week ago and the boys are open
ing it up. Mr.. Dell Dickson is also in
teresteG in the new find.
A representative Of the Deadwood
Pioneer.Times has examined the Globe
mine situated near the head of Dead
wood creek, west of Lead, and reports in
substance the following favorable re-
suits. The main vein of ore is thirty
feet in width, vertical, permanent and
continuous The ore is phonolite and
will average $1,000 per ton in gold. The
ore is not free milling in any degree,
but Mr.. J. A. Ogden has solved the prob
lem of saving the values. and is erecting
a mill to do so on grand scale. Now,
if all this be true, and we have no rea-
son to doubt it, we would rather have
that mine than any other mine in the
Black Hills. AS paying proposition
there has been nothing discovered or
opened up that will compare with it in
this country. We hope it is true.
