Diamond Drill on the Ruberta Ground.

Diamond Drill on the Ruberts Ground.
The use of the diamond drill in pros
pecting is becoming constantly more
prevalent in the Black Hills districts
and late operations in this form of work
have been producing most satisfactory
results. The North Homestake COM
pany found the vertical veins in the
states underlying the quartzite by this
means, the Elliptic company is making
use of the diamond drill, the same kind
of apparatus is at work at the Connie
May.Morris ground and the last one to
demonstrate the existence of profitable
ore deposits by this method, is the Ru-
berta company, whose ground is located
four miles west of Custer.
On this property W. Seineke has had
a contract for running down a hole on a
forty-fve degree incline and has now
sunk it about 800 feet. He has already
cut several veins of good grade milling
material and has demonstrated the val
ue of the ground to such an extent that
the owners now feel warranted in CON-
mencing a regular course of develop,
ment. They Will start opening up the
property this spring and believe that be-
fore the end of the year they will have
enough ore exposed to warrant the erec
ton of mill.-Deadwood Pioneer

The new triple screw turbine steel steamer
Belfast, of the Bangar division of the Eastern
Steamship CO., left Boston at 5 p. m. Monday
on her maiden trip to Bangor with a full
freight and about 700 passengers. The Bos-
ton Globe says: "There were hundreds at Fos-
ter's wharf to witness the departure of the new
boat and, as she pulled out into the stream and
righted herself, the hull sat as prettily in the
water as swan. The hull was almost sub
merged to the waterline and if anything she

fleet"
The following officials of the company were
on board President Calvin Austin; Vice
President Josiah W. Hayden; Secretary and
assistant Treasurer, r. A. Pepper; general pas

thing working smoothly, and at Rockland and
Camden the new boat was saluted and heartily
welcomed. She arrived at Rockland at 2.55
M, and might have reduced that time half an
hour, as speed was purposely reduced after
passing Seguin at 1140 p. m.
The building the wharf of the Eastern
Steamship Co. had been elaborately decorated
with flags, bunting and japanese lanterns the
evening before, and when at about 7.3O the
Belfast came in sight the wharf was thronged
with people and the band was ready to give
her musical welcome. Her whistle was an
swered by salutes from the factory whistles
and cheers from the crowd. When the boat
was made fast Mr.. F. W. Pote, the Belfast
agent, presented President and Mrs. Austin
with handsome bouquet In a letter publish
ed some time ago President Austin had ex-
pressed a wish that there be no ceremonies
attending the arrival of the boat here, but that
the time be occupied by giving everybody an
opportunity to inspect the boat. He so ex-
pressed himself here Tuesday, but the mayor

A BASE BALL MAGNATE.

To THE EDITOR OF THE JOURNAL: The recent
death of George B. Dovey, President of the
Boston Nationals and one of the leading base
ball magnates of America, brings to mind a
most pleasant, though slight, acquaintance
with Mr.. Dovey while his men were in spring
training at Augusta, Ga, under his supervision.
His influence in sports was for the best and his
highly cultivated mind always active for those
things that aim to elevate, and SO popularize,
the great national game. Rowdysm and unfair
advantage, even in the guise of half-decency,
had no place with him. nor in teams controlled
by him. Those citizens of Augusta who came
to know him, if only for brief time, formed
but one judgment of the man, which was of a
hlgh-minded gentleman, only anxious that the
sport of which he was an exponent should he
of high order. In the face of great obstacles
and opposition he had labored that Boston
should have winning team in the national
class, and his failures in this direction during
several seasons, and the disastrous showing at
present being made by his men, are thought to
have engendered worry and disease causing
his untimely death.
the American public in recent years is due in
quite large part to the spirit of fairness and
good conduct now demanded of the game
Quite percentage Of the men who now make
a livelihood from base ball in the major leagues
are very highly educated and graduates of the
leading universities. We can remember, with
none too pleasant memory, of the spirit of
jealousy and ill-will which existed in our local
base ball world many years ago between our
people and our good neighbors of Bangor and
Rockland. There were times also, when some
of our own imported players and those of our
opponents, were not of the highest class. Prize
fighters or men of uncertain habits were not
debarred, so that their qualifications were used
in the interest of the home team Now -a-days
things are generally on clean basis here and
all about, SO the game fourishes the higher
the plane the greater the benefits and the
larger the true enjoyments of that game which
is the king pin of them ALL
