Black them demonstrated. Placer mining, almost at this day anknown in the Hills, is by no means a dormant industry in the Bear Gulch district. Doo Harris, Louis Devlin and J. Simoly in twelve hours with the aid of a roughly constructed rooker, cleaned up $26.88, mostly coarse gold. Had they been able to have caught the floor gold the clean woold have netted them fully $40.00.

Not a bad twelve hours work. Next spring means the recognition of the Bear Goleh mining district by her sister camps of the Hills. She will take her place in the brilliant mining constellation now formed of the Bald Mountain district, Ruby Basin distriot, Squaw Creek, Carbonate and Galena. BREVITIES. The D.

C. railway will commence in few days on an extension of its Bald Mountain line through the Carthage, Mikado and Ross-Hannibal properties to enable them to ship their ores to the D. and D. smelter. Considerable work has been recently done on them, notably the Carthage, which shows a large deposit in the 156-foot level.

The mortars, pamp9 and belting, part of the equipment of the new Tuter-Ocean mill at Bear Golch have arrived. Nothing can however be placed in position until the heavy foondation parte of the mill, now enroute, arrive. It will be at least four months before the mill can be placed in operation. The twenty-one pair of holes dug for the poles for the Hawkeye company's cable tramway besween the mill at Plama and the mine at Washington, Lead City, a distance of 4,000 feet, were completed yesterday and plaoing of the poles will begin today. The poles were placed equi distant except at one wide gulch midway between points where the span will be 720 feet.

Members of the press are invited to a free ride on this aerial tramway pert Christmas. The Harney peak tin mill is ronning nicely on ore from the Gertie mine. The various ores have been tested seperately and all have proven valuable. It was reported yesterday that ore from the Gertie rons about 4 to 5 per cent metallic tin and about $8 in gold. Saperintendent Sprando of the Bullion came op from Rapid yesterday and went to Galena.

He informed us the Bullion will soon commence shipping ore to the D. D. The corapany has decided to purchase a large steam pump at an early day which wit greatly facilitate the work. T. H.

BLACK HILLS MINING CONGRESS The TIMEs urges the newspapers and those interested in the mining industry of the Black Hille, to work up a sentiment around among the residents of the various mining districts to meet at an early date and discuse the advisability of revising the state mining laws at the coming session of the legislatore, come to an anderstanding in the matter and select several delegates to attend A Black Hills mining congress, to be held in this city on Tharsday, December 15.

Let the delegates be representative men, and have an accurate knowledge of the wishes of their constitaents. On the occasion of this proposed congress, all the merbers elect of the legislature from the Hills will be present, and many of the leading mining lawyers of the coantry. let there be a rousing good convention of the legitimate miners of the country, and we feel asanred great benefit will result, The laws need revieion, and there is no more opportune time than now to accomplish what we need. The congress will be entirely non-political and non-partiean, held in the intereste of all miners and districts. All Black Hills papers are requested to advocate attending this congress by several representatives of each district in the We suggest that meetings be coontry.

held at convenient places, not later than the secoud week of December, for daring an interchange of opinions and selection of delegates. Remember the date, Thursday, December 15,1892. THROWING MUD AGAIN. In publishing the report of Capt. Josiah Thomas of Cornwall, England, on the Harney Peak tin mines, that reliable and Mining Journal of New Engineering in its comments as usual goes off at York, half cook and says the mines can't be profit.

The Engineering and worked to a Journal only contains the first Mining half of Capt. Thomas' report, the conto be pablished next week. oluding part The Journal has either not seen the conhis report or has made a misclusion of take as to the estimates, of Capt. else they are at their old tricks Thomas, mud at the Black Hills and of throwing Their love for the its infant has been shown before, Their atHills the D.

Josiah Tho nas seem to represent the conditio and vale of the Harney actcal Peak tin mine quite fairly and accurate- fills DEADWOOD, SOUTH He makes the average yield per ton of ore to be about 40 lbs. of black tin, carrying 78 per cent metallic tin, or, say, 4 percentage of 1.3 of metal in the ore.

This will not pay to Engineering and Mining Journal. And here are a few of the extracts from Capt. Thomas' report, which refotes that great authority, the Engineering and Mining Journal. "By exercising care and caution, working the most productive lodes and ledges and avoiding those of low quality, I see no reason why an average of 40 pounds of black tin per ton inay not be maintained for a long time to come, while there is an Immense quantity of ground to be proved and developed, some of which may be of richer quality. The profits to be made will of course depend not only on the price of tin, but partly on the extent as well as the richness of deposits.

"Taking into account the several heaps now lying on the earface, and the whole of the ore discovered and ready for stoping in the Addie, Cowboy, Coata, Gertie and Tenderfoot, above reported on, think the mill can be' kept supplied at the rate of 250 tons a day for perion of about 12 months. In order to insure this supply being kept up, stoping on a large scale should be commenced at once, as the heaps at the surface at the above pamed rate of milling will be exhausted in less than two months. If the quantity ore specified is put thro' the mill in the firat 12 monthe working it will produce, according to my estimates, about 1200 tons of metallio tin, or say 100 tons per month. This woold work ont to an average produce aboat forty poands of black tin per ton, which will just exactly agree with the results of Mr. Beringer's assays of my samples.

The following extract from Superintendent Childs' notes on Capt. Thomas' report, a man whom mining men consider A better authority on tin and tin mining than many so-called eminent experts, soma the eitnation rightly when he says: It i is an utter impossibility even for a mining man, to grasp the situation here in a8 short time as Captain Thomas remained on the ground. A NICKEL FIND. For several years past the existence of nickel in the southern Hills has been known to the mining world, and from time to time after its discovery prospectore have made attempts to ascertain whether it existed in paying quantities or not. Either they became discouraged or lacked funds enough to develop the find, 88 for the past year nothing had been heard of this important find until a few days ago.

A miner who had persevered in his search for the metal descovered a fine body of ore carrying nearly 5 per cent nickel. The find was made near Harney City. This opens up to the Hil's another indastry of incalculable value. JUMBO. Work will be resumed on this property, Dear Caster, next week and actively pushed during the winter.

Prospect drifts which have been run at three different pointe in the open cut disclose a fined body of carbonate ore 6 feet thick. At one point where the drift has been ran in 76 feet the vein widens out to 8 feet and the supposition is it will continue to widen as the drift continues. The vein is a contact and lies between lime and porphyry. Assays show $15 silver and 6 per cent lead. BREVITIES.

The Richmond mine at Galena, which has been shot down for nearly a year, will be started up shortly under the management of Bart Harris. The Welcome and Mark Twain mines are shipping on an average 35 tons of ore per day each to the Welcome chlorination works at Rapid. The old 1 El Refugio mine, near Galena, which in early days was considered a bonanza, was recently purchased by the D. D. smelter company and will be placed in active operation again shortly.

The D. D. smelter will be blown in today for continuous operations. It was to have been blown in Wednesday, but the preliminary work incidental to this event was delayed. The frat run will be made on Calumet ore.

Hebry Sohuitzel has on exhibition at Young Dawson's office, a handsome specimen of his silver ore from the Shoshone mountains, Wyoming. The ore is galena, rich in silver and lead. Its average assay value is forty ounces of silver and 60 per cent. Mining deed was yesterday tiled conveying from the Welcome Milling and Smelting company to the Florence G. and S.

W. T. Regarding the Indian Outbreak Bugaboo. Deputy U. 8.

Marshal Chris Matthiessen informs the Trues that there is positively no foundation for the ramors of SD impending outbreak of Pine Ridge and Rosebud Indians. He just retorned from Sioux Falls and other places, and is in possession of reliable information from the best sources, and knows whereof he speake. The Indians receive their rations promptly and generously, and are well clothed and comfortable. Capt. Ray Brown, agent at Rosebud, and Maj.

Wright, agent at Pine Ridge, deal honestly with the Indians, who have a high regard for them and seem perfectly contented. The following from the Sious City Journal also shows McGillicaddy's yarns to be productions of bis own imagination or boosts for personal aggrandizement: ROSEBUD, 8. Nov. the editor of Sioux City Journal: Several articles have lately been published in the leading newspapers of the northwest, coming from different sources--from Capt. V.

T. MoGillicuddy of Rapid City, a former agent at Pine Ridge, i in particular-predioting trouble with the Rosebud and Pine Ridge Indians. I have been with the Rosebad and Pine Ridge Indians continually since last March, until a few weeks past. I am acquainted with Red Cloud, American Horse, Fire Lighting and other infuential Ogalallas, and 83 I have lived at Rosebud for the past three years am aoquainted with all the leading men of this reserve. American Horse told me when I last saw him: "We had enough fight two years ago; the great father is now paying op old debts and treating os very kindly.

We bave a very good agent and no reason to complain." His sentiments are echoed by all the Ogalallas with whom I have con veraed upon the subject. My home being among tha Drank the condition of affaire on this reserve. The Rosebuds were never more contented with their lot than just at present. They have just received 2,300 cows with calves, for which they have made ample provision in the way of food and shelter. Many of them have settled down and built houses and corrals, where they are ready to take up land in severalty 88 soon 88 it is surveyed.

The payment of old claims has not aroused a feeling of aprest and defiance, bat rather of rejoicing and contentment. Chief Hollow Horn Bear, of Cut Meat creek, is now or his way by steam to Salt Lake City to visit the Indian soldiers there; and he would not ba likely to absent himself from his people for that long journey were they on the eve of an outbreak. Capt. Brown is thoroughly liked by the Ogalallas with whom he has to deal, and 80 far as the Indians feeling suspicious and defiant towards him, or the power he reg resents, such is positively not the case. Indeed, the battle of Wounded Knee is still the topic of much earnest conversation, and is one of the most obvious rea8008 for the continuation of peace.

Capt. McGillicadJy tells as he "dces not wish to pose as an alarmist," then utilizes every possible opportunity to promulgate sensational and erroneous reports cerning the affairs at Rosebud and Pine Ridge. He tells 08 that while he was at Pine Ridge recently Indians with whom well acquainted in the past were reticent" and seemed to wish to avoid speaking to him. Now, it seems to me if I were slandered through the press 88 much as these same Indiane have been by this same Capt. McGillionddy, I would become reticent and non-communicative.

H. WILL CATON. Pugilistio Notes. The Syndicate clab of Lead City have guaranteed a purse of $125 for a glove contest to a Anish between their man Tom Matthews, and Billy Daly of Hot Springs, a protege of Danny Daly and Ted Gallagher. Matthews has signed articles of agreement to meet Daly, providing the latter covera his $25 forfeit.

If the men can be matohed, and there is no doubt they CAD, 88 Daly has repeatedly challenged Matthews, the contest will be held at Miners' Union hall, Lead City, December 14. Daly has a $25 forfeit now posted at this office for Matthews to cover. A notification from Daly's backers to the sporting editor of the TimEs to send the forfeit to Lead to cover Matthews' forfeit will be sore indication that a meeting is agreesble to Daly. Martin Costello of Buffalo, and Aleck Greggains of San Francisco, fought before the Coney Island Athletic club Monday night. The fight was for a parse of $2,500.

Eighty rounds were fought, neither man having any advantage, and the referee declared it draw. This is the second time these two have fought to a draw, the first time being before the California Athletic club not long ago, when sixty rounds were fought. They are evenly matched and good ring generals. The fight to a finish between Jake Smith and Judge Hickly at Lead Tuesday night furnished considerable amusement for a fair sized audience, who manifested their approval of the contortions of the two coons within the 24-foot enclosure by yells of delight.

Omer Lackons arrived a ment after the unfortonate occurence and assisted Role into Wheelers place where his injory was dressed.

He was assisted to Lead by Conductor Haney of the D. It was thought at first that his eye had been put out, but Dr. Howe thinks the injury is not so serioos as that. It seems that Rule and Shorty had a slight misonderstanding at Hill City some time ago, and the latter sought to avenge himself last night, while the other had forgotten their former trouble and made no resistance. Role is said to be a quiet, able young man, while the other ie a disagreeable, quarrelsome tough.

Shorty made good his escape, bat the police are searching for him, and will no doubt efeot his arrest. To the Oharitable. To the Editor of the TIMEs: Word has come to me of two families, homesteaders, living several miles out ic the valley, that are in a very destitate coudition. In one family the mother is almost helplessly paralyzed and the father crippled. They have three little children all under 8 years of age.

The husband in the other family 18 an invalid and the children all young. They are very worthy, deserving people. The children in each family were recently found almost destitate of clothing and wearing grain sacks. In a day or two 10 uptucu wo wake them comfortable. the meantime allow me to suggest to the kind-hearted people of Deadwood that bundles of clothing, shoes, be sent at once to the office of Samuel Cashman for the use of the committee on charities in these cases.

The board of charities will soon be organized and everything in the hands of the committee on charities will then be tarned over to them. BARTLETT FOSKETT, Chm. Com. on Charities. Destructive Fire Near Tilford.

Yesterday morning fire started in the dry grass along the Elkhorn track between Piedmont and Tilford, presumably by sparke from the passenger engine. hard wind blew at the time and the Are spread rapidly, and in a short time got beyond the control of the farmers, who tarned out and fought it. We learned by telephone from Tilford last evening that a large area had been burned over and the fire is still raging. William Kost, a farmer, lost everything but his house; his barns, crops, fences, were totally destroyed. Walter Brink worth's barns, granary, containing 400 bushels of wheat sad 200 bushels of oats; 100 tors of bay and one horse.

Joha Vener lost everything, baras, orop and fence, but his house and a large stable containing hay and grain of Max Hoehn, was destrowed. At late hour last evening we learned that a high wind was still blowing from the northwest and the fire is spreading before it. There will andoubtedly be serious damage done before the flames are checked. More Orookedness Oharged. A late Washington telegram says: "There are serious sensational charges against James Cooper, the Indian agent who was recently sent to Pine Ridge, South Dakota, to pay money to the Sioux.

There are 3,800 peaceful Indians there, to whom the government was to pay $100,000 on account of depredations by war-like redskins of the same nation. In some cases the amonut was small, and in others it reaobed $500 and $1,000. The average was about $30, Cooper was sent from the agency at Cooper, Kansas, several months ago and disbursed the money, taking receipts from the Indians in the regular form. It leaked out afterward, 60 it is claimed, that iu almost every case of the 3,800 he pinched the Indians for 10 or 20 per cent of the money. Secretary Noble recently sent Special Agent Cisney to Pine Ridge to investigate, and Cooper has been ordered thither to meet the accosationa.

Officials say that it is possible that the charges are not well founded, bat thorough investigation is to be made. There are also serious charges against Post Trader Findley, which may cause his removal. Stock Growers Association. Annual meeting of the 3 outh Dakota Stock Growers' association was held at Rapid Monday. It was decided to incorporate under the laws of the state.

The stouk yard inspector of the association at Chicago reported that be discovered 163 head of stock in the yards belonging to other members of the association than the shippers, while the inspec- 1892. tor at South Omaha reported thirty-six head. It was decided to levy a 20 per head sessment on all members of the association to pay the cost of maintaining a stock yard inspector, the assessment being based upon the number of cattle reported by each individual member. Adjournment was taken ontil April when arrangements for the spring round-op will be made. Relays of Judges.

Sioux Falls Press: The next tare of South Dakota should make a few amendments to our Australian ballot law which are needed to make this new system more acceptable. One of the most important changes the Press considers neoessary is a provision whereby fresh men mAy be put on to canvass the vote after the polle are closed. It is hardly human to supplement the hard day's work of the judges and olerks with from twelve to thirty-siz hoars' tedious labor In canvassing the votes. Aside from being inhoman and unnecessary, the long vigil 80 wears upon the canvassers that they are physically and mentally in capable of correct work. We sincerely hope that this may be one of the things to engage the attention of our next legislatare.

Fire at Oelrichs. On Monday night, about midnight, the buildings at Oelrichs on the east side of the railroad track, belonging to the Anglo-American Cattle company, took fire from some anknown cause and were completely destroyed. They consisted of warehouses, packing and slaughter houses and were constructed in 1889 for the purpose of killing and paoking beef in refrigerator cars for shipment to England. The enterprise failed to materialize to any great extent and hence the buildings bad been little used. Loss anknown.
