WAS MUCH nrr ,.sEssED
WITH VISIT TO HILLS

w. p. Robinson OF Indianapolis,
Ind. who had been spending several
days in the Hills looking over some
mining propositions, took his de-
parture for the cast on the North
western last evening. He was very
well pleased with what he has seen
on his first trip to the Hills, and as
he devoted all of his time while here
to looking into the business which
had called her thither, he has left
with a perfect knowledge of condi-
tions. Before leaving he expressed
himself as greatly pleased with what
he had seen. and, impressed with
what he had learned concerning the
possibilities of mining in this sec
tion of the Hills and is leaving for
his home an enthusiastic booster
for the country and It's principle in
dustry. His visit to the Hills will re-
suit in much good and will be the
means of bringing into the country
much capital. which will be utilized
for the development of couple of
good propositions which will be con-
tributory to Deadwood, and which
will give employment to many men.
He is connected with some of the
best and some of the largest business
interests of the east. and when he
enters upon the propositions which
he has on hand IL will be on large
scale.

SOME FACTS ABOUT THE


Professor Dove, formerly OF the
lead High school, who Is conducting
mining and milling operations at the
slavonian group and the Deadwood
Standard mill in the Spearhsh can
Won district, expresses satisfaction
with the results thus far obtained.
When he and his associates under

ment and small capital. but by per-
sistent work. intelligently directed,
says the Call, they have converted

which was long ago abandoned, as
Of too low grade to pay profit.
In the opinion Of Professor Dove,
the lime ore body which is furnish
ing milling material, is OF practical
ly unlimited extent II is in blanket
formation and has shown a thick
ness OF from twenty to thirty feet,
along the portion which has been
worked. II lies in the form of a con-
cave lens, with II outer rim extend
ing around the edge OF a hill which
rs probably a mile In circumference.
In order to avoid as far as possible,
the necessity of removing an over
burden OF earth, the mining opera
tions have been confined to the sur
face, following the outer edge Of the
lens. This line of work has been
productive of all the ore the mill is
capable OF handling and could pro
duce many times more. If necessary.
The mill building. which had not
been used for years, was in a rather
deplorable condition when the pres
ent lesses took hold, but they have
succeeded IN repairing it to an ex-
tent that makes II possible to oper-
ate II will success even under bad
weather conditions. In the matter OF
