Raising Money for the Pioneers.

The officers of the Black Hills Pioneer
Society are pursuing plan for the re-
plenishing Of the treasury of that organ
ization which has become depleted OF
late through the many demands that
have been made upon it. 1t has been
necessary to take care of some old and
sick pioneers of late and besides there
have been more thar the usual number
of old timers dying off and their fun.
erals were something Of tax on the
treasury.
The officers are endeavoring to get
some of the members to take out life
memberships, which costs S25 and have
already succeeded in securing several TO
adopt this plan. Among those who have
taken out such memberships are Seth
Bullock, Sol Star and Jack Gray. Others
have taken the matter under considera-
ton and will probably come in with
their twenty-five.
Another thing that will add TO the
revenue is the additional members that
may be taken in after the meeting in
January next. 1t was decided to amend
the constitution so as to admit pioneers
who came here in 1877. This amend
ment will in all probability be passed at
the January meeting and will give an
opportunity for material addition to the
roll. OF the old members there are 10
who are eligible to answer the roll call
at the January meeting.-Pioneer Times.

ton at Lead last Saturday Supt. T. j.
Grier quoted some figures which will no
doubt be surprising to every one in the
Black Hills. Mr.. Grier said: Many of
you will be interested, somewhat anus
ed and perhaps surprised to know that
the water that was in the Homestak e
mine when flooding was discontinued
was sufficient in volume to fill pipe 10
inches in diameter extending around
the world at the equator, a distance Of
25,000 miles. 1t was sufficient in volume
to load to their carrying capacity 10000
ordinary broad guage railroad box cars,
which would make a train reaching from
Lead to Toledo, Ohio, distance Of 1925
miles. Its volume was equal to eighty
five million cubic feet or six hundred
and thirty-seven and one-half million
gallons. 1t weighed five billion two
hundred and seventy million pounds or
two million six hundred and thirty.five
thousand tons. While it was in the
mine it dissolved one tenth of cent in
gold per ton of its weight, and of course,
when it was pumped out and allowed to
run to waste, carried with il that value.
From the surface of the water when un-
watering began to the bottom Of the
deepest shaft operated by the company,

MINES AND MINING.

The Ideal company have increased
their force of men lately. The tunnel
has been driven two hundred feet. Two
small air drills are working on the face
Of the drift.
The Saginaw Gold Mining company
have commenced TO reconstruct their
hoist building. Machinists are also
busy repairing the boiler and air COM

aged in the recent fire.

ed the construction of the Dibble slime

There is talk of the old Standby mine
in Rockford being restored to life and
activity some time in the near future.
Yesterday London expert was exam
lining the mine and it is thought that
the future outlook is Frightening up for
the property. A 400 foot body of ore has
been cross cut, and the property is
equipped with 100 stamp mill first

thing is in good repair and the mine can
be worked and the ore milled very
cheaply.-Rapid City Journal.
MINING AT MYSTIC.
Mystic is one of the iveliest little
camps in the Black Hills at the present
time. Three mining companies are in
operation, and the prospects favorable
for more to start operations in the near
future. The Msriposa has been work.
ing on Slate creek, two miles from Mys-
tic, for the past two years and has reach
ed its goal. The probabilities are that
within few months there will be
broad expansion in the operations of
that company.
The Auburn company is in operation
and has been for two years past. 1t has
a % ton mill in operation on ore and its
saw mill plant busy. The mill is a
Michalson centrifugal separator, and is
said to be working quite successfully.
The Hymalulu company has been in
constant operation for the past year on
its property, just out of Mystic, and is
making fair headway with its work.
Preparations are under way for the in
stalla,ion of heavy steam machinery.
Thomas Ormsby, Robert Sihot and
others, are manipulating a deal with
eastern capital to appropriate several
miles of Castle and Rapid creeks, with
indications favorable to contamination
and the probabilities of installation of
heavy machinery for working the placer
bars of those streams. Placer gold can
he extracted from the gravels along
either creek, and with machinery and
ydraulic pressure there can be no
question but the work would pay hand
some profits with proper work. Hand
work with primitive methods, proved
successful for years.-Rapid City Jour
