BLACK HILLS MINING.
Important Announcement Regarding
the ORC Elmo Property.

Important Announcement Regarding
the Orc Elmo. Property.
One of the most important an.
nouncements made in the mining
field Ut Deadwood for some time was
that of the Golden Reward Mining
company whose officials declared that
operations will resume on the Orc
Elmo property in the Bear Butte creek
section. For some months past the
Golden Reward company has been
thoroughly sampling the property with
the object in view of operating 1t
again II the sampling proved salts
factory. This went above expecta-
tons, and the resumption is the result.
The Orc Elmo has long been regarded
as one of the richest properties in the
Black Hills. Years ago 1t was oper-
ated by Allison and others and brought
handsome profits, even though no at.
tempt was made to treat any but the
ore containing free gold. At that time
all the tailings were allowed to go to
waste. After that others took hold
Of the property and continued to make
2 success of it. The Ore was shipped
to the old Deadwood smelter which
necessitated an expensive hauling
charge and yet the profits were large.
1t Is the present intention of John
Tortette, who will have charge of the
mining work on the Orc Elmo to take
the ore from large ledge that is
opened up in q tunnel near the old
hoist, one-eighth of a. mile from the
railroads. 1t will then be shipped to
the smelter at Denver as the grade Of
the ore is too high for cyaniding.
commencement of work on the Orc
Elmo is expected to result in much
other work in that district and to
make it the scene of considerable ac-
tivity during the present summer.
John Simm has started work on the
Victoria property in Squaw creek with
small force of miners and will de-
velop the ore bodies until they have
reached the stage for treatment in
the mill. It is the intention to in
crease the force from time to time and
in few months to have the 200-ton
cyanide mill Ia operation. This mill
has been operated but little since it's
erection two years ago, but the Vic
toria has several good ore bodies that
only require proper development to
make them yield sufficient output for
the mill.

Former Director Of Mint Would HAYS
Powerful Backing for Banks.
George e. Roberts. president Of the
Commercial National Bank of Chicago
and former director of the United
States mint. delivered the address OF
the day at the state bankers conven.
ton, whose annual convention just
closed in Deadwood. In his address
he touched upon the recent panic and
as safeguard against future trouble
he suggests a central bank.
"A panic is like fire." he said. II
does not start everywhere at once, but
In one place. The central bank would
do business with the banks only, and
would have charge of government
funds instead of having them depos.

He also stated that this plan was
success in Germany, England and

the central bank stood back of the
small bank and prevented the spread

The entire loss is estimated at be-

$4,000 insurance. The origin of the
fire is not known, as there had been
no fire in or about the building where
the blaze originated for a day or two
previous. The odor or gasoline around
the building first on fire was very
strong. which leads many citizens to
suspect incendiarism.
The towns OF Bonesteel and Burke
were called upon for assistance, and
while they responded promptly, moth
ing could be done on account OF the

HAIL DAMAGES THE CROPS.
Severe Storms Near Bismarck Beat
the Grain Into the Ground

Bismarck. N. D., July 21.-Severe
hail storms through this section have
done much damage to crops that were
not already damaged by the intense
heat. One storm in the vicinity Of
Drescoll travelled six miles, doing
much damage to fields, beating wheat
into the ground and cutting potatoes
and heavier crops to shreds
Another storm near Garrison, in
Mclean county, devastated fields for
an area of two miles wide by ten
miles long, wiping out the crops and
beating even the grass on the prairie
into the ground
Scattered showers in various parts
OF this county have helped grain to
some extent, and the general impress
sion Is that the county as a whole
may harvest half crop.
