WHAT TO DO WHEN TREES ShOW
BLIGHT

While no remedial measures are
entirely successful, much can be
done to prevent the spread OF the
disease. -
|. Cut off all blighted branches
six inches below any indications OF
the disease. Instead of throwing
these prunings on theground, carry
them out of the orchard and burn
them at once, thus preventing
germs from the diseased branches
from injecting other trees.
q Disinfect every cut surface
made in this pruning with corrosive
sublimate solution; one par OF sub
Innate to one thousand of water.
This is easily made by dissolving
one of the tablets sold by any drug
gists, in a pint of water. If all cut
surfaces are thus disinfected any
bacteria left on them by the tools,
or any other means, will be de-
stroyed.
3. Removed all water-sprouts
as fast as they start. They are
particularly susceptible to blight.
4. Pare the cankers down into
green wood and disinfect the wound.
5. Never use "blight remedies
sold by agents. All are worthless,
and many are positively injurious
to the trees.
6 Watch the trees closely, prune
off the infected branches every
week during the growing season.

dropping half crowns and coppers into
the hat from balcony above. and the
chink of the coins woke him up. when
he promptly pocketed all the silver

GOLDEN REWARD PRODUCING
MORE THAN 800 TONS DAILY

The Golden Reward mine is al
present producing about as much
ore daily as at any time in its his
tory. For several weeks past the
output has been steadily increasing
until at present they are taking out
better than 800 tons every twenty
four hours. In order to do this, II
has been necessary to add to the
force, but in this respect they are
meeting with very little difficulty,
as the effects of the recent labor
trouble is rapidly disappearing.
Many Of the old employees are seek
ing employment and in most cases
they are being taken back
OF the more than 800 tons now
being mined, 65 tons are composed
of high grade material which is be-
ing sent out to the Omaha smelter.
In addition to this, there is being
shipped daily to the Golden Reward
cyanide mill at Deadwood upwards
of 260 tons of medium grade ore
For week past, the mill
has been somewhat slackened owing
to the breaking down of one of the
mills, but it is expected that this
handicap will be remedied in a few
days. Before this accident happen
ed, the Deadwood plant was treat

STRUCK OBSTACLES IN
CARBONATE DEVELOPMENT

In the Seabury-Calkins mine that
the Black Hills Development and
Financial corporation are testing
and working in connection with the
Segregated and Iron Hill mines, has
Just been encountered very serious
obstacle in the plans of development
and operation.
From the assays from dumps and
ore sorted out and shipped last week
to Denver smelters, the managers
were absolutely satisfied that as soon
as they unwatered the shaft and
workings, several bodies OF
ore would be demonstrated in the
drifts, etc, showing values up to $40
a ton and in several widths from es-
timates made from the dumps, to
20 feet wide. It was the intention
to ship a great deal Of this to the
smelter and make the mine pay for
It's own development. After getting
the boiler, machinery, hoist and 9th
er machinery in order, and after
building a new flume and tanks,
which has taken several weeks Of
hard work, and good deal Of ex-
pense, 1t was found Wednesday,

RAISING CAPITAL TO
WORK BRAsCH GROUND.

President Boggs of the Nebrasks
Mining company, which holds lease
and bond on the Connie-May-Norris
ground of the Brasch brothers In
the Roubaix district, writes from
Hastings that they are completing ar
rangements to raise the necessary
capital to continue development on
the property. The Nebraska COM
pany took hold Of the property about
three years ago and started with the
intention Of giving It thorough de-
velopment, but their plans for capi-
tai raising failed to some extent,
forcing a suspension Of work. 1t Is
stated that of late the Nebraska peo-
pie have been able to interest some
Colorado mining men in the propo-
sition and that through this source
they will be able to raise the required
funds.
During the time that the Nebras-
ka company has been inactive, Bill
Brash has been carrying on a plan
Of development and has succeeded In
exposing q much better showing on
the ground than existed heretofore

COLUMBIA DEAL MAY
GO THROUGH AFTER ALL

Word was received In Deadwood
yesterday that there Is probability
Of the deal which involves the sale of
the Columbia mine at Keystone,
owned by Manion brothers and Grif-
fifth, to a party of Colorado people,
being put through after all. 1t was
thought last week, when the option
for $4,000 expired and the owners
demanded a raise of $4,000 that
negotiations were ended for good
but 1t now appears, according to re-
port, that the Colorado people are
about to stand for the raise and will
come thorough with the first pay
ment immeditely. 1t is understood
that ]. H. Red, one Of the Colorado
party. is on his way to Keystone or
is probably there by this time. 1t
is said he is coming with the money,
prepared to carry out the contract
on the terms proposed by the owners
of the mine.
II this is true 1t will have most
benificlal effect on the future de-
velopment Of the camp. When the
trouble started two weeks ago, re-
sulting in the miners who had work
ed for the Colorado people filing
leins on the property and the dem
onstrative demand made on the les
sees for wages, it had a most de-
pressing effect on the people Of the
Keystone district. Although IL was
known that the Columbia mine is a
most promising proposition and
that quantities Of high grade ore
had been recently shipped from 1t,
the story got out that the Colorado
people had turned it down, but this
was known to be untrue by those IA
miliar with the negotiations then
pending. The fact Of the matter
was that the prospective purchasers
had some trouble among themselv-
es and 1t was alleged that two Of
them were attempting to freeze the
third out, believing that he would
be unable to raise the necessary cap
ital without their aid. With this
matter Strengthened out, there
should not only be activity at the
Columbia mine, but it should put
life into several other deals that
are now pending in that district.

SINKING NEW SHAFT ON
STRAWBERRY PROPERTY

While waiting for operations to
be resumed at the Alta Mining com
pany's property formerly the Puri-
tam in Strawberry gulch, John Nc
Coffin, the superintendent and A.
G. Thomas are doing some develop
ment work on a piece of ground
which they own, a short distance
down the gulch. At point about
700 or 500 feet down from the main
workings of the Alta company and
near the base of the hill on the
north side of the gulch, they have
commenced the sinking of a shaft,
where they think will open up a
body of high grade ore.
They are working in the fiat for
nation, with the intention of going
to quartzite and at that level intend
to do some lateral exploration.
They are working on the theory that
they should encounter the same
shoot of high grade lead ore, from
which Hewitt mined a considerable
quantity of ore of this character, on
and adjoining property.
Custer weekly chronicle. [volume] (Custer City, S.D.) 1890-1931, 1910-08-13

when the watering was commenced
and the first two or three skips were
working very smoothly, that the skip
would not sink below the 100 level
On an examination being made
from the cross head, it was found
that the shaft timbers had been
torn away and the shaft had been
used as a dumping place for waste
rock; that it had been filled up to
within 100 feet of the surface and
that the shaft above the 100 foot
level, where torn away for dumping
the waste, had not been protected
at all, SO that it had absolutely ruin
ed the shaft and the workings are
absolutely useless as they now are,
as they cannot be entered from any
shaft or drift.
Under the circumstances 1t re-
solves itself into the Iron Hill, Sea-
bury and Segregated being simply un
developed prospects, all the workings
being as useless as If they had nev-
er been opened, the only saving In
the whole property is the fact that
by the dumps 1t Is absolutely known
that there is good payable ore, but
at what depth or in what drift this
was demonstrated, it is impossible to
say. 1t is also known that the sur
face ore on all the property Is val
liable and certainly worth developing
into a mine.
1t was the intention, as soon as
the Seabury was unwatered and the
ore bodies proved, to Immediately
get several eastern capitalists who
are interested, to come out with
their experts and see and test 1t
themselves. Under the circumstanc-
es, they have been informed that at
the present time 1t would be useless
as they could only see the dumps and
surface workings, It has not yet been
decided what had best be done under
the circumstances, as no doubt new
shaft will have to be sunk, that will
take a lot OF time and great expense,
which will greatly add to the diff
culties in proving the mines contain
values.
In the mean time, development
will be continued on the Home Run
and further car or two Of lead and
silver ore will be gotten out. Also
development will be continued on
the Segregated where the gold ore
was slipped from.
If from the smelter returns and SUI
face showings it satisfies the eastern
investors to put up capital, then the
corporation will proceed with its plan
if not then theer is no other alterna-
tive than to gracefully retire.

HILL CITY MEN HAVE
PROSPECT IN NEVADA.

Charles Howland, George Coats
and T. Botne of Hill City have just
returned from Lovelock, Nevada
where for some time past they have
been devot,ng their time and energ-
les to the development Of gold pros
pect, which they believe is destined
to become a great proposition. They
are very enthusiastic over what they
have opened up and believe that
with a very small amount Of addi-
tion work they will be able to dispose
of their holding at big figure or
raise the capital necessary for put
ting it on a producing basis.
All the members Of the party are
experienced in mining affairs, hav-
ing mined in the Hill City district
for a number of years and are conse-
quently qualified to pass on the mer-
its of mining proposition. They
say they have in the ground. some
distance from Lovelock, we'll
defined vein Of porphyry ore
which can be easily treated ana
which appears to be a permanent
and substantial ledge. They have tax
en- out about 5000 tons which is said
to assay from SO to SIS per ton in
gold, large part Of the values be-
ing of the free milling variety.
They are so we'll satisfied with the
appearance of the proposition, that
they are making plans for the erec-
ton of a mill and expect to have
little difficulty in raising the requir-
ed capital. After a short visit at
their home in Hill City, they intend
to return to Nevada and continue
the opening up Of the mine, prepar-
atory to the erection of a milling
plant. 1t is probable that others Of
the Hill City district will become in
terested in the property, so that it
may not be necessary to go outside
of the Black Hills in order to get to
gether a working capital.

THE COLUMBIA TO SHIP ORE

Especial Mining Correspondent
The Columbia mine at Keystone,
leased by the Manion Bros. reverted
back to them July 10. The deal
was for 100000 but the Denver
capitalists could not make their pay
ments.
There is a twelve inch vein Of
hard blue quartz that assays from
$500 to $1,000 per ton and increases
in value with the depth of the shaft.
The Manion boys are sinking and
drifting with their own force of
men. A new shipment of 80 tons Of
high grade ore will soon be made to
the Denver smelter. The property
adjoins the Holy Terror and is con-
sidered to be one Of the best in the
Hills. The people of Keystone are
anxiously waiting the advent Of a
company that has the capital to de-
velop a good thing.

periodical reports of the Tonopah-
Belmont management are borne out
by the statement of the production
during June. The report shows that
1896 tons of dry ore went to the
smelter and 6,157 tons to the mill.
The total value of the output is
placed at $276,434.54 and the net
profit at $151,756.S2. The state
ment shows that the general grade
of the ore is the richest being mined
in the Tonopah district and places
the Belmont at the head of the list
as a produced of rich ore. Added to
this is the fact that the vein pro-
ducing this grade of ore is the
strongest in the district, having been
proven up for nearly 700 feet on its
strike and 400 feet on its dip, show
ing an average width Of Is feet.
While a little stopping has been done
by far the greater portion Of the ore
has come from development work.

1900 TON SHELTER
STARTS OPERATIONS

SALT LAKE CITY, Aug L.
While it will perhaps be another
month before the Tooele plant OF
the International Smelling company
will be turning out copper for the
market, the lighting of the fire by
Governor Spry, in the first of the
five reverbatory furnaces was an i'm
portant event in that it marks the
beginning of operations.
The plant which is being hurried
t ocompletion will have a capacity
of treating about 1900 tons of ore
a day, and it is undoubtedly only
one of the several sections which
will comprise the ultimate plant on
that site-a smelter which will not
only draw ores from some of the lar
gest producers of Ely district, but
the building of which will unques-
tionably result in the early construc
ton of a new railroad, from Tintic
Junction to Ely, which will open to
production an empire of mineral re-
sources in the Deer creek region.

MINES AND MINING

!, On a formation ledge, which he dis
covered by its outcrop a year ago. hi
sank a shaft east Of and adjoining
the porphyry foot wall and has gone
down about 65 feet, at which point
he was forced to suspend on account
of a too great an influx Of water. He
was not supplied with pumps or the
necessary equipment for meeting this
emergency: At thirty-five feet from
the surface. the ore commenced to dip
out of the shaft to the northeast and
had entirely disappeared at depth
of sixty-five feet.
In order to further prospect the
ledge without the necessity of install
ing pumps, Brasch started tunnel
at a point to the west Of the shaft,
and about 100 feet below the collar
OF the shaft, which he is now push
ing towards the ore. This tunnel is
now in 70 feet and it is estimtaed
that 1t will strike the ore within 20
feet, II the dip Of the vein to the
east Is not greater than appears from
the surface to the bottom Of the
shaft.
The vein which is composed Of a
porphyry-quartz ore, has been quite
extensively prospected along the sur
face and from all indications, It
should have a width of between Is
and 80 feet. It has also been careful
ly sampled and 1t is said to assay
from $12 to $1S per ton in gold, a
considerable portion OF the gold be-
ing in the free state. II the present
plans are carried out, the shaft will
be put down to a depth of at least
200 feet, 80 as to get well below the
broken part of the formation, before
any cross cutting is done.
