Mining Interestp stimulating.

Mining conditions in all quarters OF
the Black Hills are gradually picking
up, and renewed life and activity is
promised to every camp, says the Rapid
City Journal At Lead the Homestake
company is reported to be working as
many men under the ground as usual,
which is about $500 The Golden Re-
ward, Horseshoe and other companies
working about Terry are getting back to
their normal production of ores, while
up around Portland and Ragged Top
there is more work in progress than ever
before The mines of Backtail gulch
and all through the Phonolte district
are coming to the front, while some
strides are being made in the Bear gulch
country. Out in the Custer Peak and
Box Elder parts of the country some
work is being done and assessment work
is quite active.
Several large deals are pending in the
Rockford district and another season
will see that camp enjoying larger de-
gree of prosperity than in its palmiesl
days. Several mines are in continuous
operation at Mystic, while the Grand
View and other properties are moving
along in Silver City. Things are more
than favorable over around Keystone
Custer and Hill City, and those camps
are all reviving.
All indications point to much better
times in the Hills than we have ever
experienced. Days of fake stock job
bing has about been checked, and condi
tions are getting down to "a practica
point of view, where the merits of q
mine is what counts and practlcabilty
of the management one of the frs
things considered by stockholders. In
terest is reviving and speculation stimu
lating rapidly, now that conditions IL
the northern Hills have adjusted them
selves.

Mountain Lion lear Bakerviile.
Il. A. BALLINGER,
Commissioner

Young Eddy Korthaus down at Ba-
keryille has quit having fun with bob
cats, as the Postum Cereal people say in
their ads, there is a reason"
One day last week while he was riding
Eddy saw a bobcat lying down in some
brush, and wishing to see how fast 1t
could run, he started his horse on run
for it with the idea of giving it scare
lust as his horse was getting close to IT
the cat moved aud Eddy discovered that
the cat he was chasing was a full grown
mountain lion that was not showing any
intention of running. 1t did not take
him long to make up his mind that II
the lion would not run, he would, and
whirling his horse as quickly as he
could get him round Eddy made good
time ont of there and hit for the house.
The lion has been seen since then by
another Of the Korthaus boys, and lately
some of their stock has been scared In
the corral close by their house and there
is little doubt that the animal is staying
somewheres around in that locality The
first time there is a tracking snow the
Korthaus boys are going 10 get that
lion.

New Placer Device.

If the operation of new style of plac'
er mining machinery just installed here
by the Downie- Wright company of Ra-
pid City proves as successful as antici.
pated, placer mining in this section Of
the country at least, will be revolution
lied. The new device consists of four
sluce boxes ten feet wide, arranged one
above the other and each tilted at oppo-
site ends to allow fall enough for the
gravel to wash easily from one box to
the next. The length of boxes resem-
bes in cattlemen's parlance, a lazy w.
Above the top sluice box is funnel
shaped box into which is thrown the
dirt, and below this grizzley TO separ-
ate the large rocks from the boxes.
Power is furnished by four horse gaso-
line engine which keeps the three top
boxes shaking constantly like a concen-
trating table.
A screen, the meshes Of which can be
changed in size, separates the large peb-
bles from the sand as it leaves the sta
tionery plate, where the last particles of
gold are caught. A small box below the
copper plate catches all that is left and
the light, volatile, valueless sand is
washed out of this by the water leaving
the plate.
The new features in the machine are
the facts that it is unusually light in
weight, is built in sections, and can be
readily moved, it's pensiveness and
requirement of little power and an al
most unlimited fall, while the machine
occupies little space. The sluice box
es are SO arranged that they may be
titled at angles varying from twenty to
forty degrees, the greater the angle the
faster tho dirt is handled. 1t may be
operated by either water or gasoline
| power.
1t is the intention of the company to
save the black sand which if it proves
Of value, VIII be run over concentrating
tables that can be readily installed. 1t
is equipped for an all winter run and
when severe weather sets in will be
housed. Seventy five men will be EN-.
ployed to keep the machine supplied
with dirt from the extensive placer
ground holding the company has secur.
ed on Battle creek three miles below
town. The creek bed is full of tailings
from the early day workings of the Holy
Terror mine which produced some oi
the highest grade stuff the Hills has
ever had. For years men with simple
sluice devices have worked the creek
bed and made good wages and it il
believed that with the new machine
large profits can be obtained from thu
coarse tailings that years ago could no
be handled and were allowed to run tt
waste. This winter the company will
tunnel into the hill near the creek anC
take their dirt from near the bedrock
and next summer will allow the tunne
to cave in and then wash all the grave
through their mill.-Recorder.
