DEVELOPING A GOOD
PROSPECT ON BEAVER CREEK


William Mcmillan came up from
Sturgis yesterday. where he had been
visiting over Thanksgiving with rela-
tives and friends. He is on his way
to his property on Beaver creek,
where he has been engaged in devel-
oping one of the finest looking gold
prospects in the linton district. His
two sons have been helping him in
the work, and they have uncovered
a very large vein of ore. During the
summer a shaft was sunk on The
ground to depth of sixty feet, and
from the bottom of this shaft drift
has been started which Is now in sew
enty feet and has about twenty-five
feet more to go before it breakes into
the ledge which crops out on the sur
face. The ore, where 1t is exposed
in the workings near the surface,
shows values ranging from S4 to $1b
a ton. gold 1t is free-milling pro-
position, and Mr.. MCMILLAN DeDeYes
that it will prove to be one Of the
most extensive ore bodies in that dis
trict. He has planned to keep at
work on it all of the winter, and
hopes by spring to have it opened up
SO some idea can be had of its ex-
tent and it's worth. He has held OH
to this property since early in 1878.
and during that time hes kept up his
ANIMAL assessment work, and now
believes that the more extensive
work which he is doing on it will
bring Il to the attention cf people
who are willing to invest little
money in good ground.

CJYAHOGA PROPERTY
DOING EXTENSIVE WORK


]. H. Snyder, director and vice
president Of the Guyahoga Mining
company, drove up from the South
ern Hills yesterday in his auto, and in
conversation with the mining re-
porter of the Pioneer-Times, stated
that the company is doing consider
able work on the property. At the
present time the company is sink
ing the main shaft to the 200-foot
level and has reached a depth Of 100
feet. In going down the shaft has
passed through forty feet of the big
vein, in fact, for nearly all Of its
depth has been in pyritic ore, which
carries a high pei centage of sulphur
After the 200-foot level has been
reached a station will be cut and
drifts made to the vein and along its
course, and its ores hoisted to the
surface. The company has been max
ing regular shipments of ores to the
big chemical works at Cleveland, o.,
and last week sent two carloads there
which will average 43 per cent sui
phur. These shipments will be con-
tinued while the development of the
property is proceeding and returns
from them will assist materially in
paying running expenses at the mine.
The mine is not being opened up
for its pyritic ores which carry sui
phuric acid making properties alone,
for on the hanging wall of the 150-
foot vein which has been uncovered
on it is eleven feet of ore which con-
tains high gold values, it running
from $3.50 to $50 a ton. Vice Pres
ident Snyder says that this part of
the vein is now receiving At ention
and when it shall have been opened
up to his satisfaction, arrangements
will probably be made for the erec-
ton of a milling plant, for it is pret-
ty certain that it will pay well to
treat, and that there will always be
a large supply to draw from. He also
said that the company is talking of
erecting a plant for the manufacture
Of sulphuric acid, and that one may
probably be started on before spring
The first cost of such an installation
would not be heavy, and as the ore
which is at the present time being
shipped to the Cleveland Chemical
works is very rich in acid making
properties, in fact carrying a higher
percentage of sulphur than most of
the ores treated by it, plant on the
ground would pay the Guyahoga com
pany well.
The property is equipped with
some of the finest hosting machin-
cry in the Hills and is well fixed TO
do deep work, so the main shaft, even
after the 200-foot level has been
reached, will probably be continued
downward, and the mine opened up
on its lower levels and ore blocked
out sufficient 10 keep supplied any
kind of a milling plant that the man
agement may decide on, and it is
pretty certain one viii he erected
during the coming year, for Vice
President Snyder declares the prop
erty never looked better, and that
with but very little additional work
there can be supply of ore blocked
out that will assure an unfailing sup
ply.
Vice President Snyder was accom-
panied to the city by f. A. Schafer,
who will have charge of the compress
sor plant at the mine and the drills,
being an expert. He is making his
first visit to Deadwood, and says
from what he has seen OF the city he
likes it.

the high prices prevailing at present

vised that one should be ignorant OF
a great many things in order to avoid
the misfortune of being ignorant of
everything. AS A. p Russell says:
Memory to be of great value, 1t
would appear, must be limited ready,
and at absolute command A really
valuable memory is impatient of di-
version from accustomed employ
ment. and when diverted returns to
1t naturally and in the shortest
manner" When one has formed a
habit OF selecting those that con-
form to his best habits, and serve his
highest purposes, he has learned one
OF the fine arts. To us the words
of a humorist, every one should have
a good "forgetery." ITO forget a
wrong is the best revenge"
The richest treasures mast be
stored up for future use. Many men,
such as st. Anthony, Lord Granville,
Thomas Cranmer and Bossuet, had
the whole bible in their memory
ready for use at any moment Mae
caulay knew many great poems and
could constantly call them TO his aid.
When Mozart was fourteen he went
to Rome TO assist in the music of the
Holy Week, and listening to the
"Miserere OF Allegri," which no one
was allowed to copy, he stored it
away in his memory so that he was
able to reproduce il the next day at
a grand concert.
We may prepare memories for fu-
ture use. We may do this by giving
particular attention TO things worth
remembering when they are transpir-
ing. Each day brings something that
ought TO forgotten, and 3omething
worth remembering. Learn to dis
tinguish between the two as they 60
by, and give close attention for the
purpose of remembering most cas-
lily, most vividly and most accurately
Attention to 1t with the mind viii
secure retention of it in the memory.
What a blessed thing it would be If
every one were storing up all that is
good and worthy to be remembered
and We're casting out everything un-
worthy. We should be gathering the
rosebuds to press within the leaves
of the book of memory, and not a
thorn or nettle or poison bud would
be there to sting and weaken us OF
any one else.
We may do this by doing and say
ing and thinking only those things
that are worthy of memory. Pericles
said that he rejoined that no citizen
or Athens had ever been compelled
to wear mourning on his account
That was a noble tribute paid by
Thomson. the poet. to Lord Lytton
For his chaste muse employed her
heaven taught Tyre
None but the noblest passions to in
spire.
Not one immoral, one corrupted
thought
One line, which dying. he would wish
to blot"

Looking back over the years al
ready lived we see some things we
wish were different. If, as Sir Henry
Taylor says: THE retrospect of life
swarms with lost opportunities" we
must use the years that are to come
so wisely and honestly that they will
afford us an inspiring pleasure. A
good memory is an unspeakable
blessing. But that alone is a good
memory which, in addition to retain
ing what was once put into the mind,
stores itself day by day with what
is worthy and recalls from the past
only what will make more worthy
and useful. To have a good memory
one must have good character, for
what we call up from the past is
what We prefer. The man makes his
memories. Make yourself first of all
a good man.

the memory the worm that dies not?
while conscience is the fire that is

A beautiful service it may render
to us, linking us TO the past, giving
us wisdom, to use the present, there

Kilduchevsky. a Russian uobleman and

treated when ne called on his lady far
one evening in May. 1913. The alleged
assault and what followed, says the
count. were all the work Of James j.

Young woman whom the count was
counting. But the Russian did not
know that. nor did Bennett know Count
DO Kilduchevsky. his prospective son

Count de Kilduchevsky sued Bennett,
for $4,000 damages for assault, false

the suit came TO trial IN the supreme

testified. "snd he merely pushed me
aside and refused 20 say anything
about his identity. Il was his pcrsls-
tent refusal 20 give his name after
knocking on my door and insisting upon
being admitted that caused him to be
detained in prison" M Bennett said
ne did not remember that he had
charged in night court that the coun:
was a white SLAYER. az the minutes Of
that court show.
