Black Hills Times: Few of our residents, have no idea of the magnitude, value or future possibilities of the enormous ore body existing within the boundaries of the claims owned and controlled by the Homestake company. In the Homestake mine alone a depth of 800 feet has been attained. At this level cross-cut- s and drifts several hundred feet in extent have been driven, showing the vein to be 451 feet wide a solid mass of pay ore blocked out for 800 feet. The hanging wall at this depth retains the same pitch or dip level. The that it has from the foot-wal- l, is however, rapidly straightsoon and become vertiwill ening up cal. Such is anticipated to be the case at the level. The company have removed but little ore from the mine below the level. What has been taken out came from the drifts and cross-cut- s run in, blocking out the vein. The ore on the lower levels is of a higher grade than that found above. Reports are now current that during the past few days a very rich discovery has been made in these lower levels of free rock worth hundreds of dollars per ton. 300-fo- ot 100-fo- ot 600-fo- ot gold-beari- ng The De Lamar mine, at De Lamar, Ida., has yielded profits of nearly $2,000,000 to the foreigners who purchased it about five years ago. This is 20 per cent per annum upon the capital, and the owners are said to le well satisfied with their investment. The company is working 275 men. Capt. Plummer, manager of the property, who was in the city during the week, has satisfied himself that the Pelatan-Cleriprocess will extract a high percentage of the values from the De Lamar ore, and a fifty-to- n plant will soon be in operation. He believes this process to be superior ci to the MacArthur-Forres- t, in that con- stant agitation of the ore prevents the pulp from settling down in solid mass, and the application of the electrical cur- rent precipitates the gold in the leaching tank, thus doing away with the zinc shaving filtration. The same method is used to reduce the gold to solution as in the MacArthur-Forre- st process.
