Lawrance County.

The Deadwood United States assay
office sent out to the Philadelphia
mint lar~ shipment of gold bull
lion, the amount being almost as
large as the shipments were before
the labor troubles came on. The
Golden Reward, Mogul and Lund-
berg, Dorr and Wilson mills are
furnishing practically all Of the pre-
sent shipments of bullion, the Wasp
No. 2 company still being out Of run
ming, while its new mill is being con
structed. The Wasp will be again
in the list of producers this fall.
Although arrangements were made
some months ago with the directors
of the mint whereby it was permit
ted that the Homestake Co. deposit
its bullion at the Deadwood United
States assay office, the gold from
that source has not yet commenced
to come this way, but 1t is erpected
that this result will be accomplished
in the near future. The linton Tin
Mining Co. has been putting through
from 20 to 80 tons of rock a day
working one shift in the mill, and
according to reports, has been secur'
ing a good recovery. 1t is now an
nounced that they will soon put or
another shift and gradually work uI
the milling to the full capacity o.
the plant, which is estimated to bt
about 100 tons daily.-Mining Re

Blood poisoning resulting from a
slight cut on his hand last April,
caused the death at the Homestake
Hospital at Lead Sunday of George
Sullivan, miner, aged 48.
Sullivan, who leaves a wife and
four children, came to Lead to work
for the company several months ago
from Oelrichs, S. D., where he had
a claim. When he first received the
cut on his hand, he had it treated
but the injury did not yield and he
grew gradually weaker and although
given the most skilful treatment dur
ing the progress of the disease, the
the physicians We're unable to check
it.

could be accomplished in a short
time. If the pbspect developed into
mine, it would not only bring a
revenue into thj treasury of the COM
pany, but 1t would enhance the value
of all surrounding properties. If
the exploration work showed that
the prospect was worthless, the oper-
alton Of the company would be trans
ferred to another property.
The matter of the selection of the
different properties on which work
would be undertaken, might cause
some friction, but this might be to
some extent adjusted by the appoint
ment Of a committee of competent
mining men, who would determine
what prospects would be taken up.
The feature Of this scheme which
is pointed to as most commendable,
is that 1t would keep the ownership
of any mines that might be developed
in the Black Hills and would permit
OF large number of people sharing
In the benefits.

MINERAL HILL co. SINKING
TWO COMPARTMENT SHAFT

Under the direction Of Superin-
tendent Hiram Birch, the Mineral
Hill Mining company are now put
ting down their new double compart-
ment shaft at steady rate, although
they were somewhat delayed in get
ting work started. At the present
time It has reached a depth of lit
tie over twenty feet and is being
well timbered as the sinking pro-
ceeds. 1t is the intention to con-
struct first class shaft. of ample
proportions, 30 that 1t will serve for
long time to come as the princi-
pal working point of the Mineral
Hill company operations.
A windlass is now being used, but
arrangements are being made for In
stalling a horse whim. which will
take them to the water level thought
to be about eighty feet from the sur
face. When that point is reached
q large double drum steam hoist
will be installed and all other equip
ment required for deep sinking.
1t is the intention Of the manage
ment to go to depth Of 500 feet
and 1t is not improbable that they
will be in ore, or near 1t, all the way
down. The shaft has been started
on the vein. which shows a width Of
about twenty feet at the surface and
as the dip OF the ledge is not great,
Il will not be far from the shaft at
the 500 foot level. The ore is said
to be Of fair milling grade. carrying
q small amount o free gold and can
be proftably treated by the amalga-
nation and cyaniding processes.

THE REAL STRENGTH
OF THE STEEL TRUST

The real strength of the Stee
trust is to be found and only foun,
In its steadily increasing hold o.
the natural resources which 1t re
quires for the building up of it
business and the maintenance of it
position In the industrial world. II,
day 1t holds as assets Of far reaching
Importance not only q claim to tn,
old Lake Superior iron ore depositi
(Which 1t acquired at the time o
the consolidation) but the tremen
dously valuable lease on the Grea
Northern ore lands, which contain!
500,000.000 to 1000. 100000 ton,
OF ore; it owns practically in fee
simple the Tennessee deposits which
contain nearly as much ore as the
Great Northern fields and in addition
about 5000 miles Of railroad lines
including an immensely valuable sys.
to moi belt lines in the Chicago dis,
trict, important and extremely pro.
fitable railroads In Minnesota, roads
OF vast carrying capacity, connect
ing Lake Erie with the Pittsburg
district; relatively valuable lines in
the Tennessee district, extensive and
practically exclusive deposits of cox
ing coal in Pennsylvania; steamship
lines on the great lakes with vastly
greater carrying capacity than those
owned at the time of the consolida-
tion. These assets are entirely out
side its nu,nIroLs new steel mills
and olast fur1aces which have been
built during the iast half co.en years
In many paris of the country. and
Of the remarkable industrial city Of
Gary, erected entirely out of sur
plus earnings.
1t is the steadily increasing
growth in value of these natural
resources and sources OF supply
which has given the steel trust its
increasing strength and power, Just
as 1t is the growth of population and
Increasing value of terminals, right
Of way, etc which give the accruing
value and strength to the railroads
systems from year to year. It is
his same general growth which has
made the Union Pacific today worth
100000 where 10 or IL years
lgo the same mileage could have
'een bought and sold for 100000

said to have given the ore a value
of over $500 a ton in silver and
over $500 in gold.
The strike has caused consider

GOOD NINE PROPERTY
PLAYS In HARD LUCK.

The Minnesota Mines company is
having anotherTu run OF hard luck in
the matter of securing the necessary
capital to keep operations in prog
ress on the property and to meet the
regular expenses. They were forced
to suspend several weeks ago. in or
der to keep from getting further in
the hole and now a number OF their
employees have filed leins to secure
payment Of wages due. Fifteen leins
were filed in the clerk Of courts office
yesterday and it is understood more
are to come.
The Minnesota Mines property,
which has been pronounced by ex-
perts one of the best in the Matt
land district, has been up against
hard luck for the past year and a
half 1t was their original intention
to work the fiat formation silicious
ores, which had been profitably
treated by the North Homestake
company, across the gulch, but they
were not prepared to follow the ore
shoot, when it dipped away below
the water level to the east. 1t was
then determined to go after the ver-
tical veins, which were known to
exist below the quartzite. This OF
course, required the installation OF
pumps for deep mining, which would
have kept the silicious ore level dry,
had they continued to develop that
body, but as they were approaching
the easterly line of their property
and could not follow the shoot be-
yond that point, it was decided to
devote what capital was on hand to
opening up the verticals and aban-
don the work on the flat ore meas
ures. The deep mining was more
expensive proposition than they had
bargained for and the necessity OF
additional capital, while the work
was in progress caused a number OF
suspensions of operations. The YER
ticals were finally opened at the 100
foot level, but there was less than
20 feet of stopping room there to the
quartzite and they were forced to go
another 100 feet. After the 200-ft
level had been reached, they were
again handicapped by lack of CAPT.
tai, which prevented them from set
ting up their compressor and forced
them to do the cross-cutting, to the
three veins of about 35 feet in width
each, which had been encountered on
the 100-ft level, by hand drilling. In
the meantime, they attempted to
mine ore from a vertical which
showed on the surface on the west
side of the property, in order to take
out enough to meet current expenses,
but this scheme did not prove a sue
cess. The situation, as it now con-
fronts them, is that they are in a
position to get fair grade ore to the
mill, with very little additional work,
but with the working capital again
exhausted, they have been forced to
suspend.
There is one redeeming feature
about the affairs of the Minnesota
Mines company and that is that in
all their trouble they have not asked
for any outside assistance. No bonds
have ever been issued and all the
capital raised has come from inside
the company. President F. E. Little
of Minneapolis, has pulled the COM
pany through more than one bad
spot and he will doubtless find means
to again put the company on its feet
and ultimately reach success. The
has no debts except for
labor and supplies.

the team one of the strongest In the
