About the nearest approach there Ja to manufacturing gold, says the Mining Investor, goes on night and day in the Black Hills. Occasionally bunches of very rich rock are found there, but ninety per cent, of the ore is of low grude, running from $2 to $10 per ton. This grade of rock, however, is there in such vast quantities that it can be handled economically. In the old days the ore treatment consisted in crushing the rock under the stamps and collecting the free gold on the plates. This, of course, did not make very clean saving, and as the workings be came deeper the rock was more ana more refractory. Then the cyanide method was tested, and found to be just what was wanted. It is estimated that millions upon millions of dollars' worth of gold have in the past been allowed to wash down the gulches practically, and that all of this could have been saved had the cyaniding system been in use. It is principally this which has given such an impetus to | mining in the Black Hills in the last two or three years. Good Leans For 99 Yean. Edward S.

REPORT OF GENERAL MILES His Criticism of Conditions in Philippines Made Public. WATER CURE AND ARSON ALLEGED The Lieutenant-General Treats of In* tances of Cruelty Reported to Him? Bureau Chief* at Washington Dl??ent From HIi Opinions?The Report Given Out by Secretary Root. Washington, D. C.?In reply to the charge of anti-imperialists that he dared not reveal the allegations of cruelty to Filipinos made by LieutenantGeneral Miles, Secretary Root ordered the publication of General Miles' Philippine inspection report. While the charges of cruelty have caused the greatest comment here General Miles' statement that the Philip pines are no better defended now than Ave years ago; his urgent recommendation for establishment of a naval station at Olongapo; his prediction of a terrible famine within a very short time on acount of the drouth and disease among domestic animals have also attracted great attention. In his address to the Secretary of War General Miles says that in going from Calamba to Batangas In November last he noticed that the country appeared devastated and that the people were very much depressed. Stopping at Lipa he says a party of citizens, headed by the acting presidente, met him and stated that they desired'to maae complaint of harsh treatment of the people of that' community, saying they had been concentrated in towns and had suffered great indignities. that fifteen of their people had been tortured by what Is known as the water torture, and that one man. a highly respected citizen, sixty-five years old, named VIncente Luna, while suffering from the effects of the torture and unconscious, was dragged from- his hoiisp. which had been set on fire, and was burned to death. They stated that these atrocities were committed by a company of scouts under command of Lieutenant Hennessey and that their people had been crowded into towns, 600 being confined in one building. A doctor of the party said he was ready to testify that some 'of the 600 died from suffocation. General Miles said he looked at the building, which was one story In height,eighteen or twenty feet wide and possibly sixty or seventy feet long. He asked for a written statement *o be forwarded him at Manila, but says he never received it, and adds: "I have n$ reason to disbelieve their statements; in fact, the instances of torture in the case of the man Luna having been tortured and burned to death are confirmed by other reports." General Miles then refers to other cases, saying that In the Island of Cebu it was reported and published in November, 1902, "that two officers, Captain Samuels. Forty-fourth Infantry, volunteers, and Lieutenant Feeter, Nineteenth Infantry, had committed similar atrocities against the people of that island. It Is also reported that at Laoag, on the Island of Luzon, two natives were whipped to death. "At Tacloban, Leyte, it was reported that Major Glenn ordered Lieutenant Caulfleld, Philippines scouts, to take eight prisoners out into the country, and that if they did not guide him to the camp of the insurgent Qulson he was not to bring them back. "It was stated that the men were taken out and that they either did not or could not do as directed. One of the men, who had a son among the scouts, was spared, but the others were separated Into two parties, numbering three and four respectively, and while tied together were all murdered by being shot or bayoneted to death, some being in a kneeling position at the time. "The pretence was made that they were killed while attempting to escape. but. so far as I know, no official report was ever made of the circumstances. These facts have been reported by Major Watts, who investigated the case. Besides Lieutenant Caulfield, Civilian Scouts Ramos. Preston, Corn and MeKeen were participants. "It appears that Major Glenn, Lieutenant Conger and a party of assistants and native scouts were moved from place to place for the purpose of extorting statements by means of torture, and it became so. notorious that this party was called 'Glenn's brigade.' Whether it was possible for officers to be engaged in such acts without the personal knowledge of the general upon whose staff they were serving at the time. namely. Brigadier-General Hughes, I leave for others to conjecture. , "These facts came to my notice in a casual way and many others o? similar character have been reported In different parts of the archipelago. In fact, I was informed that it was common I talk, {it th? places where officers congregated that syfh transactions had been carried on* either wjth th^connivance or approval of certain commanding officers. It Is, however, most gratifying to state that such atrocities have been condemned by such commanders as Generals Lawton, Wade, Sumner, Lee, Baldwin and others." Continuing his report to the Secretary, General Miles says the law was violated in handling and buying large quantities of rice, which was sold at a profit. The people who were in the reconcentration camp were, says General Miles, "considered prisoners of war, but were compelled to buy food from those who held them at a large profit." General Miles speaks of the magnitude of the transaction, which involved 21.000,000 pounds of rice and other supplies, at a cost of $306,320. He says BRITISH HONOR AMERICAN VALOR.

Chinese Learning Auicilcan Ways. Throe hundred Chinamen employed In the laundries of Butte, Mont., have struck i:or highsr wages. They demand a (lev. that "an extraordinary feature of this j transaction" is that the action was disapproved by a division commander, who assur cd command and who turned the matter over to the civil authorities, and that it has been carried on under an act of the Philippine Com LLllSBIUU. A reply to the foregoigg portion of the report has been prepared by Judge Advocate-General Davis in a letter to the Secretary of War, in which he says: "The incidents which are set forth in the enclosed special report have been made the subject of special investigations; in some instances these have been conducted by courts-martial and their findings and sentences have been duly promulgated in orders; in others the inquiries have been intrusted to inspectors or to officers designated for that purpose by the commanding general in the Philippines." Replying to General Miles' recommendation that beef on the hoof be supplied to the troops In the Philippines, General J. F. Weston, CommissaryGeneral, states: "In my judgment it is not a feasible or economical plan, and there should be no departure from the present system of supplying frozen beef." General Crozier.

"This rice was bought with money taken from the insular treasury after consultation with General Bell.

Bad Been Thl?f, Renpected' Business Man and Forgrer by Tnrns. Newark. N. J.?The suicide of Charles L. Roller in the Windsor Hotel in Montreal brought to a close a career which had furnished many sensations. Roller was born in this city twentyeight years ago. He came of a good family, and was looked on as a lad of much promise. In his teeus, however, when he was employed by a watchcase company of this city, he stole some gold bars from the factory. The Arm discovered the theft and compelled him to pay for one bar he had sold and return the others. The affair was hushed up. Later he started in the real estate and investment business in this city. He showed business acumen and prospered to such a degree that within a few years he was regarded as a rich man. One day, about two years ago, he disappeared. A few days later it was rumored he had been putting out fraudulent paper right and left. Then it came to lierht that he was" a forger and embezzler to the amount of $60,000. Some of'the most prominent men in Newark I were his victims. He was arrested in | California, brought hack and tried. A sentence of seven years in State Prison was imposed. After he had served eleven months of the term he was released on parole. He had revealed the secrets of a smuggling svstem that had been going on in the prison, and for this service he received conditional freedom. Then he went to Yonkers. He came into view again when he made a murderous assault on his wife in New York City. He was sent to an asylum, but released in his uncle's care. 7 LED PONY INTO WHITE HOUSE; Animal Carried Up on Elevator to Archie Roosevelt's Room. Washington, D.

Soon after Archie began to convalesce, he bogged to be olIriTOCfl tn aaa Mh snnttprl nnnV. It Wfl8 too soon for Archie to leave his room, and Mrs. Roosevelt was compelled to decline the request. Charles, the groom, who looks after the pony and who also is a great chum of Archie, thought the matter over and concluded that if Archie wanted to see his pony he should do so. Without confiding his plan to anyone he led the pony the other day into the White House and along the corridor into the elevator. The attendants were too much surprised to say a word, until after the elevator had disappeared. When the second floor was reached Charles led the pony to Archie's room and ushered it in. To say that Archie was delighted expresses it mildly, and the pony also seemed to enjoy the visit. This is the first time that a horse ha3 ridden in a White House elevator. BOYCOTT BY BUSINESS MEN.

Vancouver, B. C.?Probably ninety five persons are dead as a result of i mysterious explosion which tore of the top of Turtle Mountain, overlook lag the little town of Frank, in the Pro vlnce of Alberta. Great masses of rocl were hurled down Into the valley of th< Old Man's Creek, sweeping away thi works at the coal mines on the side 01 the mountain and demolishing houses in the town below.

There was danger that flood woulc add to the disaster. The rock formed: great dam, behind which the waters o: the creek piled up, and if they shouh be let loose it was not doubted that th< entire town would be swept away.

In stantl.v the whole town was afoot, anc soon the shouting of men. who wen running to and fro, mingled with wail! of Injured anrl dying, showed that a ca tastrophe of magnitude had taker place. For a time nothing was seen bui dense clouds of black smoke, with balls of fire darting here and there acrosf the disturbed section. As soon as th< first smoke cleared away It was seer that the whole side and top of th< mountain immediately at the back oi the town had been blown off. An immense upheaval of about on< mile by two miles long had taken place and what before wag a long swami was suddenly transformed Into a huge mountain of rock. The direction of th< eruption from the mountain was nortl and northeasterly and in limestone al together, as this section of the countr] is all limestone.

As to the cause or nature of the ex piusiuu many ineories are uuvunceu some asserting it was due to gas, otheri that it was siaKing of limestone, an< still others declaring it was a resulai volcanic eruption. The immense stretcl of country torn up by the upheava would seem to lend color to the idei that there was an upheaval for a raili or so, but no explosion till the top o the mountain was blown up.
