The nomertake Mine is the Lar gest in the World. The Black Hills bave more than one claim to dietinctiou, but are kuown as the Homestaka mine, says a Deadwood, S. D., letter to the New York Herald. Deadwood has streets that are paved with gold. The rock useu for paving these Btreets are worth at leaBt $4 to the ton, much of it more. The hills are, geologically speaking, a freak. Rising suddenly out of the levii brown plains which stretch in every direct son, this area of five thousand square milles is as broken and rugged and aB virile as any spot on earth. The hills are covered with pine, end it is easy to see why early prospectors called them "black.'' They are a dark mass against the horizen from every poin of view. The mass is, if one can believe tbe prospectuses of mining com panies, chiefly ore. There is no sticn preciou metal min eralization in tbe United States aB this one. The Homestake's gold bearing lodes run up to live hundred feet wide, and are as persistent at 1,100 feet down as they were on the surface, while they are a good deal richer. The Golden Empire, which is fifteen miles away, has a mineral hill which covers one thousand acreB. At no point on tbie hill have tunnels shown anything but ore. In many cuts oue can free the free gold sticking out of the rocks. Lodes extend almost unbroken, so far as can De determined, for miles. With all thi richness so easily found the hills have been known as one mine rei' -i. Tho Itonv-toake lias been so big that it has hidden everything else. Its output of gold this year is $4,500,000, which is about half the total production of the district. The Golden Reward produces $1,000,000 and the Penobscot, which was the first touched oy a min ing man eighteen months ago, is pro ducing about $1,000 a day. Ihese prop erties are all close corporations, with no stock for sale. JUST A GOLD FACTORY. The ore is refractory and usually low grade the Homes-take's rock returns lees ihnn $i a ton ; and water has been hard to get in suflicieut quantity. These things have made it a country where the poor man is not successful. I; takes money for great mills and chemical treatment and water to make mining in the hills successful. But once on a paying basis, it is not mining in the tiBual acceptance of the term. It is a manufacturing proposition, with pure gold as a product. There is prob ably no gold mining region in the world where chances of failure are lees. Just now the hills are on the eve of a boom in gold production. The home stake is to add .200 stamDS to its equip ment. It belongs to Mrs. Hearst and her California associates. The Golden Reward is increasing in production steadily. Its owners are the Harrimans. The Hidden Fortune, belonging to Ueo ver and Sti'lwater men, is beginning to make gold; the Penob cott, owned in Negaunee, Mich., is a new producer of magnitude. The Golden Empire has a devekp ment almost ready that ought to make it a great gold producer. It belongs in part to the Rev A. Z. Conrad, who left a Congregational church in Worcester two years ago, broken in health, but is recovering under the influence of an ac tive, outdoor life. The Homestake is a unique mining The World's Fair Route. Those anticipating an Eastern trip, or a visit to the Louisiana Purchase bxposi tion at St. Louis, cannot afford fo overlook the advantages offered by the MISSOURI PACIFIC RAILWAY, which, on account of its various routes and gateways, has been appropriately named "The World's Fair Route."

It is a consolidated of mines that bave been in operation since 1878, when the hillB were first opened. In that period it has produced approxi mately $75,000 000 in sold and has paid J17.000.000 in dividends. Fnr twenty-aix years it hes not missed a monthly dividend payment. Tbe par value of the stock is $22,500,000, an ) a few months ago the owners refused that amount. It is reported to be blocked out for a production equal to the pres ent lor thirty or more years. Most of the mines operation is about tbe 600 foot level and above. At the surface are several veins separated by slate walls, but with depth three veins have United, giving an ore body 300 to 500 feet wide. This mine treats two classes of ore, an loxidized open cut ore and a slaty lower level ore. The former is chiefly treat 'd in three mills on tbe northern end of the property, consisting of 300 stamps. These stamps ceased their roar at the funeral of President McKinley, but that has been their only reet, day or night, for many years. The leachable portion of this ore is treated in a large cyanide mill at Blacktail, down the gulch. Sands are run tu thiH mill by a, viaduct, alternately steel bridges and cuts along the steel canyon sides. S GREATEST OP PKOntlCERS. The lower level ore of this mine is a hornblende schist, which has been in situ and infiltrated with free Silica and pyrites. The latter is from 7 to 8 per cent of the ore and mostly yrite and pyrrhotite. The ore is first broken by large centrifugal crushers, of which there are six set in the floor at one shaft. It drops into bins and is carried to mills. Lower level ore (pes, paitly by com pressed air tammittg, to three mills, comprising 540 siamps. There are, then, 9U0 stamps constantly dropping on Homestake ore. The nearest approach to this in a.l the world is at Alaska Treadwell, where there are 500 stamps, ' But its production is only $100,000 a month, while Homebtake adds $425,000 every thirty days to the gold supply of the United States. Simmei & Jack, of tbe Transvaal, makes $350,000 a month, and comes next in point of production. From 70 to 75 per cont ot the gold saved is by oidinary amalgamation. The rest is by cyande. She largest cyandide mills in the world are located here. They treat nearly fifteen hun dred tons every twenty-four hours. In the year 1902 the average value of material treated at these plants was $1 05 a ton. It coBts thirty-five centa a ton to cyanide and the gross stamp mill costs were forty-nine cents. The Home- stake slimes are not treated; they carry eight cents to asi.uj a ton, ana there is no known method by which this can be economically saved. Homestake costs have to be small for the ore yields only about $3.54 a ton. Thus, two-thirds of a five dollar coin filed up and scattered through a ton of sand represents the value and character of UomeBtake rocks. One will hardly be able to believe that such rock gives a net profit of about $1 a ton. The Homestake is producing more than twenty-two thousend ounces of gold a month, and is selling it in New York at $20.41 net. The mine is hoisting about 1,400,000 ton" of rock a year, which is about the ' came as Fayal Iron mine, Minnesota. But the Fayal ib the largest iron ore producer in the world, and at Homestake they not only mine and hoist this quantity of ore, but break, stamp and amalgamate it and cyanide about 30 per rent, of it, making the operation here of a magnitude un equaled anywhere by any mineral prop erty. GOOD SPIRITS. . Good spirits don't nil come from Ken tucky. Their main source is the liver and all the fine spirits ever made in the Blue Grass State could not remedy a bad liver or the hnndred and-one ill effects it produces.

THAT' Editorial Notes. Rev. Dr. Newman fcirnythe of the New Haven sums up our Panama conduct thus: "Constituting ourselves judge and jury, and rendering our verdict in hot haste, we gave to the world another example of international lvnch law. Yet we have boasted that "we are not as other nations are." That hits the nail on the head. Perry Heath refuses to be interviewed about po-tal fraudi. Right; why should he give himself away? Secretary Taft says that tobacco workers received twite the wates under Spanish rule than they do now, while, prices of the necessaries of life have in creased three-fold under American rule.' This is "benevolent assimilaii n." The Japs deny that they have been Funstoniz ng, but they will he allowed to withdraw the plea and substitute that of guilty. Bourke Cockran favors a military nominee for the Democrat"; Admiral Dewey or Schley or General Miles, Lee, Wheeler, or Bell, all of them democras. While fines will not demolish or prison bars abolish, the mean and low varieties of crime, or keep men from repeating baby torture and wife beaiiug, the whip ping poBt will get there every time. Senator Teller estimates that twenty millions of the government money will go to the K bbyists who put the Panama deal' through. Thats economical. A Biuailar "deal" cost the French people titty million dollars paid to newspapers and officials and then they got what was ot no alue, even aB a lesson to others. Senator Hale of Maine exhibits much frankness and name enthusiasm iu say ing that he wishes there waa some way in which we could net rid of the Philip pine Islands that they are a profitless burden to carry. Secretary Root and Secretary Taft have said the same thing. There are tboBe who fail to see what the personal and domestic relations of President Joseph F. Smith, of Utah; have to do with tbe question whether Reed Smoot is entitled to a seat in 'lie Senate. Reed Smoot has always been content with one wife and one family. How do his rights depend on the con duct or opinions of Smith, Young or Taylor? Or is this investigation all for the gratification of morbid and purient curiosity ? Thore are sundry withdrawals from the St Louis Exposition. Kuwait te itis word that she is otherwise engaged; New Hampshire withdraws because the people there take no interest ip the fair and have as much as they can do to pay their share ot the en million dollars voted by Congress to the show j Hawaii sends word that she is too poor to ex hibit. Congressman Speiry, the weakest of the Connecticut delegation, recites some poetry which he saya Lincoln once greeted him with, impromptu, when he came Into the White House. But there are very few men in public life that have forgotten as much as Mr. Sperry, The Republican convention at Norfolk, Va., turned down the negro delegates and adopted the policy of the lily-whites. The negroes angrily retaliated and with drew. Gen. Wood cables that the Jolo in surgent force three months ago esti mated at 3,000, has been reduced by him to 15. This is wlint might be called "cutting down" the estimates. Japanese voltinteorB write their ap plications in blood. That's the way play-actors do on tbe opera boud'e Btage. The board of seven rommisnionerB on tbe Panama canal will be a beautiful reltige lor political has-beens. The isthmus is bo very unhealthy that the Constant demand for new commissioners will greatly relieve the congestion at the White House. It was supposed thateverything canal wise "ran with the land" so that the $10,000,000 which CongreeB authorized to be paid to "the Republic pf Colom bia" could be legally paid to the re public of Panama without any fuss. Rut the Comptroller kicks. So a new law must be passed before the money can be p.ti 1. Several great concerns in New York have decided to no longer employ mar ried women. Are the husbands to be pensioned, or are they to be allowed to Btarve, or how will they live now poor things? Mayor Harrison of Chicago, ia at this moment flaying, "What's the use of co operating with labor unions to compel the payment of high wages?" For the Federation of Labor has boycotted him, although he is in no business except trying to keep order in the city, Poli tics is a hard road to travel. NOTICE TO EXECUTORS FINAL RRPORT.
