Tho SAGINAW Mime.

The Saginaw company are doing busi-
ness at the same old stand. Frank
Beedle and his gang have just complet-
ed an upraise of 78 feet from the face Of
the incline tunnel to the surface. This
rs feet ofan upraise was performed in
thirteen days and considering that it is
all hard quartz it is remarkable quick
time, even though they employed two
shifts. The ore all the way in the up
raise averaged by five different assay
tests $l7.92 in gold per ton. They will
now run a cross drift from the face Of
the incline to strike what they call the
old reserve vein, which has always run
rich in free gold as far down as it had
been penetrated with shaft which was
about 80 feet. The estimated distance
to run from the face of the incline to
strike the reserve vein is about 25 feet.
This when completed will give them a
large amount of stopping ground, which
is higher grade stuff than that encoun-
tered thus far on an average in the main
shaft. Meantime the work on the mill
which will have a capacity of 40 tons
per day is going ahead, and sixteen
tanks are now in place in the cyanide
annex. They have five more tanks to
put in which will when complete make
twenty-five tanks. The shines will also
be taken care of and treated. Manager
/. w. Herber, Supt. Charles Anderson
and Foreman Frank Beedle, seem to be
working in harmony with a full under
standing of the business. This prom
ises well for their success and we rejoice
in it for it is the first departure from the
old time strict free milling process that
has been attempted in the southern
Black Hills.
The Saginaw comes as near being a
free milling proposition as any mine in
the southern Black Hills and yet they
can not save their values by that pro-
cess alone and we are glad that one COM
pany at least has had the mining intelli-
gence to recognize that fact and to make
adequate provision to save the gold that
is in their rock.
The writer made the statement fifteen
years ago that there was not free mill
ing mine in the southern Hills and we
knew we would anger our friendsamong
the mining men when we said it and we
did. But they have gotten over it in
the last few years and are willing to ad-
NIT that we were right. At this time
we speak of there had up to that time
been twelve stamp mills erected in Gus.
ter county and everyone had proven a
failure even when some were running
through ore that assayed as high as
So, 10000 per ton in gold. 1t struck us
that it was time to call halt on this
method of treating the ore from oui
mines which although of course differ
ing in some respects from each other are
none of them amenable to the free mill
ing process. We shall watch the Sagi
nav with a great deal Of interest anC
when they get to running we will en-
deavor to give our readers a more de
tailed description of the mine and mill.

Died.,

On the Goth of July, 1908, in Custer,
S. D., Mr.. John Adams Theodore Mol
lenbrink in the 56th year of his age.
Mr. Mollenbrink was born in Ger
many, August Oath, 1851, came to the
United States in 1868 and lived for ten
years in the state of Indiana, where he
wor ked at his trade for his father-in-law
in grist mill He was married to Miss
Alice Sharp on the 29th day of August,
1875. He then moved to Grand Island,
Neb., where he lived until he came to
the Black Hills in 1892 Since then he
has lived in Custer and the surrounding
vicinity wherever his occupation (saw-
millng) required. He leaves wife,
five daughters and three sons to mourn
the loss of an affectionate and indulgent
father The names of the children are
as follows: Mrs. Mary Palmer, Mrs.
Eta O'Connor, Mrs. Leta Book, Mrs.
Luella Vondelehr, Mrs. Millie Shafer,
John, William and Frank Mollenbrink.
The death of Mr.. Mollenbrink occur
red under peculiar circumstances. He
had worked all day at the mill and ate
a hearty dinner, and about o'clock in
company with his son-in-law, Mr.. My
ron OConnor drove to town in a buggy.
They had proceeded about mile when
Mr.. Mollenbrink (who had been laugh
ing and talking) complained that he was
getting blind and almost instantly he
plunged forward and would have fallen
out had he not been caught by Mr..
O'Connor who pulled him back and
asked him what was the matter but
there was no reply and glance at his
face showed that he was dead of heart
failure. He was bourne to his home
but it was sad "home coming" to his
bereaved family who are left to mourn
his untimely demise.
1t may be truly said of Mr.. M. that he
was an intelligent, honest and industri-
GUS man, kind to his family, his friends
and to every living creature and had
no enemies that we ever heard of in
this community. On the contrary his
jovisl disposition made him a host of
friends who will sincerely regret his de-
parture to the unseen land. We be-
lieve it is well with him in the country
to which he has gone and although in
visible to his earthly friends he still
mingles with them and will for awhile,
and only regret that he cannot be seen
by them and that they will not return
his cheerful salutation as in the past.
Our sympathy goes out to his bereav-
ed wife and family in this the hour Of
their deep sorrow and in this We be-
lieve we are joined by all those who
knew him in this community, where he
has lived and labored SO long. The
funeral took place on the 2lst, Rev. K.
w. Powell officiating and his remains
were buried in the Custer cemetery
where after "life's fitful fever he sleeps
we'll"

The Hermosa base ball players came
up to play our boys on Sunday last.
They started in with succession of safe
hits and their pitcher was such puzzle
to our boys that the score stood to 0 in
favor of Hermosa. In the succeeding
in ming a change came over the spirit Of
their dream and at the windup the score
stood 5 to 4 In favor of Custer. 1t was
a good game.

A hearing was had before the Clerk of
Courts on the 2lst between Mr.. John
Hays and Henry Pilger. Evidence was
taken on both sides which will be for
warded to the local land Office at Rapid
and their decision forwarded to the gen.
eral land Office at Washington for ratifi-
cation. The contest is for a piece of
land which Mr.. Pilger bought thirteen
years ago and has held as placer claim.
We understand he has now made appli-
cation of the ground as a homestead.
Mr.. Hays has also made application but
it would seem to us that Mr.. Pilser has
the preference by virtue of previous
ownership andsettlement Such we un-
derstand TO be the law.

Mr.. NJ. j. Bailey and Mr.. E. A. Dick
son returned from Colorado on the 18th
and were very profuse in their praise of
a new valley which is formed by the
coming together of Spring and Disap-
pointment creeks. They have become
interested in an enterprise to bring wa
ter on to the Mesa and thus redeem the
land from the reign Of the cactus and
the greasewood. They say it will beat
Grand Junction for fruit of all kinds as
it is seventy miles south of that point
and somewhat lower altitude. Dell says
that he has seen eighty people making a
good living on 80 acres ofland there and
he don't know of any other place where
they can do that. There is no doubt
that wonderful yields can be obtained
on irrigated land but every country has
some pull back and southern Colorado
has its share. There is no denying that
the country as it is is desert, only that
and nothing more, but water and plenty
of it will make it blossom like the rose
and very paradise on earth.

and girl must at the same time have a
motto to recite. The Sabbath came and
they we're all there and prepared to

were dropped and many scriptural
mottos were recited. One little fellow
stepped up and with "the Lord loveth a

The Boundary Between the Dakota Con
ference OF the M. E. Church and the
Black Hills Mission.

The discipline of the NJ. E. church
for 1904 says: Paragraph 439, Sec. 4,
the Black Hills Mission shall include
Cook county, Wyo., and all that part of
the State of South Dakota west of the
10l Mer. The new Discipline will say
''The Black Hills Mission shall include
Cook county, Wyo., and all that part of
South Dakota west of the Missouri river"
This change was made by the General
Conference of the M. E. church in Balti-
more.
The law of the Church gives an annual
Conference the right to vote in ratifica-
ton of such acts of the General Confer
ence and such acts do not become bind
ing rntil annual Conference effected
shall have ratified them. 1t was order
ed by the last General Conference which
met in Baltimore in May that Missions
should also have the right to ratify such
acts as aboye referred to. And so be-
fore the boundary line between the Da-
kota Conference is settled definitely, it
is necessary that the above action oftthe
General Conference shall be ratified by
both the Dakota Conference and the
Black Hills Mission.
The Black Hills Mission meets in Gus.
ter, August Goth, and it will without
question ratify the action of boundary
and it is believed that the Dakota Con.
ference will also ratify the said action.
If this is done, the Bishop presiding at
Custer will most certainly appoint
for new district that
he will organize out of the new territory
thus acquired, the new superintendent
to be under and subject to the superin-
tendent of the Mission. Towns are
springing up in night and they are
growing like mushrooms and the
churches to be organized there need just |
such supervision as the Black Hills |
Mission can give them.
