JOHN BLATCHFORD'S ' LUCKY STRIKE n True I'lumirp of Alumni I'nre Oolil In Hnek IlltherloVorUpit Onll Ili'lrnuUiry nnil - Loir ( inulo. , LEAD. S. D. , Juno * . ( Spcclal.-One ) of the richest discoveries of ore ever known In tlio Tllnck Hllli , was made nt Garden City the first of this week. The discovery was mail * on Bomo property belonging to John Hlatchfonl , and In which ho has liccn workIng - Ing for eomo time. The ore was found In the face of a. 200-foot tunnel. It Is tree milt ing In character and exists In white quartz. It Is authoritatively stated that the rock fairly glistered with sold , which existed In the quartz hi rich layers probably halt an Inch In thtckncBB. It to said that the first samples of rock taken from the tunnel were two-thirds Rold. Authentic particulars rc- gardtns this rich etrlko are unobtainable. However , a well-informed milling man , who Is fumlllar with the facts concerning this last strike , BBJB that ItB \ , without question , the richest discovery ever mailu In the Black Hills. This gentleman said that the rock was \cry similar In appearance to that found In tbo famous Holy Terror mine at Keystone. He further said that he had faith In this new discoiny. tin believes that ore will be found to cover a considerable area nnd docs not think that It Is merely a pocket. Of course , it has thus far been Inposslblc to ascertain the extent of the gold-bearing ledge. Al most every mining man In Lead Is Interested largely In ground at Oardcn City. If rich ore Is found to cx'ot In vertical ledges on one ! > Ieco of property , It Is quite certain that ere of like value exists In other property within a rcasonablo distance. It Is altogether prob- nblo that extensive operations will begin at once In this region by sonic of the large prop erty owneis , among whom arc Ernest May and George Johnson of this city , who last week bonded the valuable Faust property in the bum of $50,000. Garden City has al- ajs. been looked upon rj a promising min ing region , and considerable property has niready been been developed , till of which bhows up well. Heretofoie , the ere has been refractory In character , and while of a good _ _ fair value , It was Impossible for most of the owners to develope It because of the lack of Bulllclent capital. ANNIE CUEEIC OPERATIONS. The preliminary work has been commenced on the ircctlon of a reduction plant for the Annlo Creek Gold Mine company , of which I. J. Galbralth of this city Is superintendent. The ( .lie for the proposed plant has Just been Burveycd. A number of Durllngton officials , among whom were General Manager G. W Koldregc , General Superintendent T. B. Gal- vort and Superintendent 1'helan , went out to the Aimlo Crcok property last week to pick out the com EC of the trade which will be run to the reduction ivories. To put In the siding at the site of the proposed rcductloa plant vylll 'be an expensive undertaking , as the grade , at that point la 4 per cent and the bank along which the tracks will run Is from twenty-five to forty feet high. The work of grading for , the extension of the track has already b'tgun and when completed it will be 'used for carrying the material necessary to the construction of the reduction plant. The mill will bo at 100 tons capacity and thi > elec tro-cyanide p'rocese will be employed. The Annli > Creek company has nine claims , all of vhlch , arc very valuable. Considerable devel. opment work has already been done and a great deal of high grade ere has been taken out of the two tunnels. A shaft Is now down to the depth of eighty feet , and Indications ore favorable that good paying rock will be encountered within 100 feet. A remarkable dlscoveiy of ere has been found In the Manchester property on Squaw Creek , owned by P.V. . Hosslter , I. A. Webb , J. T. Glllmore , Mike Hennessey and others. Jn a tunnel , about ten feet from the surface , a chute of galena and carbonate ore was din- covered , which carries thirty-six ounces oj diver , flvo ounces of gold , and 50 per cent lead. ThU peculiar ore Is worth $132 a ton. A lease had just boon taken on the Manches ter ground by a couple of miners and they were following the quartlzltc , when they dis covered the ore. Tli a ore Is the full width o ! the tunnel , When first encountered It wa * chiefly galena , but as the tunnel was con tlnurd It reached a carbonate character. Thl property 18 now rated as being \cry valuable KhenV. . Martin , the well known Deadwood attorney , has purchased an interest In the claln In which the discovery \vs made , as uull as scvcial adjacent oura. Nothing authentic has yet been given out regarding the big Pierce deal. In which the people of this city are so vitally Interested. It haa been rumored this week that the sale had been , consummated and that tlio formal transfer cf all tht property had been made , and. flllll further , that ourvtjors were c taJi- Hehlng the line of road from this city to llclle Fourchc. where the mills of the com pany will bo located. A gentleman who Is cognizant of all the facts In tlie case says that as yet there Is no definite news , but that the matte- has progressed to such an extent that thi' consummation of the deal has vir tually , though not formally , taken place. HIGHLAND CHIEF OPERATIONS. Tli Highland Chief Mining company , which Is composed of a number of English capitalists , is bonding a great deal of prop erty In Sprue * Gulch , The last property to bo bonded wa that of Peter Oilman , con- BUtlng of fccven claims , This comiuny lufi BOW an option on most of the mining giound in Spruce ttulch , including the property be longing to II. Illschoff , Peter Oilman , Henry Tootle and Hattcnbach brothers. One ol the claims under bond to the Hlg'ilan.l Chief Is the old Champion property. l'i nhlc'i ' u shaft w s sunk to a depth of ISO feet many jcara ago , The company has had n foice of mcr at work In this shaft during the pan vcelf , and an engine Is now en route to lite riopirty to be used for hoisthg ind pump ing. It Is generally thought that the High land-Chief Intends to Institute - company ex tensive operations on Its bonded piopoity In the next few -weeks , and If the gindnd Is found to bo valuable ( tie options will all be taken up at the- time of their expiration Charles Parnielee of Plattsmoui-i. > vho. to gether With several other Ncbiaska men , owns seventeen claims of patented ground at the mouth of Squaw creek , left this week for his home on business connected with the pioperty. An experienced mining man named .Moore , from Cripple Creek , has charge of the work on this property. Considerable de velopment work has been done anJ high grade ere has been dl&covcied In the face of a forty-foot tunnel , also In a shaft which was sunk to n depth of forty-three feet from the end of thq tunnel. Mr , Moore Is greatly pleased vvltli the Indkatlons and will prob ably lease the piopeity. The mines In the southern hills In the vicinity of Hill City are being steadily worked by their owners with the beat of re- aulte , And these southern hills mines are attracting attention from eastcin investors , too. An expert was In the Urlnlty of Hill City last week examining the Eldorado mine , owned by James N. and Joiepli W. Smith. The formation In the Eldorado Is cut al right angles by a true fissure vein which et- tends through the entire property. Two shafts are down in tbe property and a great deal of good pay ore has been taken out. The J , n. Mine , one of the most cele brated mint's in the Hills , which was dis covered near Hlll Clty In WO. and afterward - ward pasted Into the poraeailon of Crlsse. 1'ettlt & Lambert , who took out $70,000 from one vein of ore. has been purchased by T. C. Crocktr , a threwd mining man. Mr Crocker Is sinking a shaft 300 ( e t west of the origi nal one. It hes uovv reached a depth ol 185 feet , from which drifts have been ex tended. The Indications are that Mr Crocker will jet rt v as great a fortune from this uitue a * did hl predecessor ! . Tobias Castor of Nebraska , A. J. Smith J. A. Paddock and John Mussolman of Deadwood have discovered themselves to be possessors of high grade ore. which was found In the Ulster mine at llaggcd Top. This mine hod been abandoned after a shaft had been sunk seventy-five feet , and a drift extended fifty feet , as no rod : bear ing Indications of gold ore was discovered. Howovcr , A. J Smith last week , out of curiosity , had samples of the rock that Abounds In the mine assajod , The rock has I the appearance of lime , and when an assay I of gold , surprisingly rich , WPS returned , thej owners were highly elated. Since the nhqn- donincttt of the mine the shaft and drift > have been filled up by cave-Ins , but they are now being cleared , and the property J will be extensively \\orkml. I I'd Donaldson , a T.eallhy mine owner of. this city has become involved In a lawsuit - suit , ns the result of a mining transaction In which ho was interested last month , ' Mr. Donaldson has considerable property In claims In Yellow Creek , but refused the month decided that ho wanted to dispose of some of his Intdrcits. Ho had been offered $7EOO for his Interest In several claims In oYllow Creek , but refused the , offer , and went to J. W. Curran. n Lead mining broker , to whom he gave an option en tlio property for ten days In the sum of $10,000. Curran disposed of the property during this time to C. W. Carpenter of I Deadwood and proffered to Mr. Donaldson the amount of his option. Mr. Donaldson ' had considered the matter during the | pendency of the option and decided that he didn't want to sell the property , consequently quently he refused to accept the $10.000. Mr. Carpenter has now Instituted proceedings against Donaldson for possession of Donald son's Interests In the Yellow Creek property , among which are the Donaldson fraction nnd the Wasp No. 2 , Klckapoo. Minnie and other claims , all of which were Included I In the option which Donaldson gave to ! Curran. This Is considered among the most | valuable mining property In the Illack Hills ' and the case In tha fall term of the circuit court will be watched with Interest by min ing men. SETTLERS AUE'i oo IMIEVIOUS. Fort Itiiiulnll li'vfpi-rvatlon ' Not Subject < o Htitry. CHAMBERLAIN , S. D June I. ( Special. ) Dispatches fioni.tonnsjn the southcin portion tion of the state to the effect that the abandoned Fort Randall military reservation was to be opened for homestead settlement this week has caused a flood of telegrams and Utters of Inquiry to pour Into the United Slates land ofllce In this rlty. This reserva tion lies partially In South Dakota and par tially In Nebraska , that portion of It lylns ; In this state being Included In the Chamberlain land district. Inquiry at the land office de velops the fact that rumors of the reserva tion being opened to settlement this week are without foundation. The survey of the land was approved August 29 last. , and the "tato has until August 29 , 1S97 , within which to make selection of the lands , and during that period no other disposition can be made of them , they being subject neither to set tlement or entry. There are narly 100,000 ncra of land In the Fort Ilandnll reservation , over 00,000 of which lies within the bound aries of South Dakota. Recently the general land olflce ordered one of Its agents to pro ceed to O'Neill , Neb. , to appialse that portion tion of the reservation lying In Nebraska , riepaiatory to Its being opened for s-ettle- imit , and this doubtless gave rise to the rumors that the entire resetvatlon was about to be thrown upon the market.

When the plats of the county were filed In the local land oUlcc some month * ago residents of Fairfax attempted to make townslte entry of a large tract , Including that occupied by the town. The townslte application was rejected by the land odlcers , ono of the reasons being that a larger area was applied for than was Justified by the population. The disputed land embraced an eighty-acre tract lying south of the town. Upon It Is a cemetery , which was set aside tor burial purposes many years ago. The townslters relinquished all claims to this tract nnd subsequently It was filed upon by a homesteader. Recently he has permitted his cattle and horses to graze among the graves and destroy the headstones. People who had relatives or friends burled there attempted to secure the homesteader's con sent to have the burial ground kept solely for that purpose , but he refused to grant the request. Interested parties wrote to at torneys here to look up the law and see If there was not some way to compel the home- atcader to respect the dead , but It has piac- tlcally been decided that nothing can' be done.
