Gold Galore OF Grand River.

The Deadwood Times says: There
has long been tradition on the plains
west Of the Missouri river and especially
in the Black Hills region that some.
where in the Grand River country,
north of Deadwood, there is gold bear.
ing region where the precious metal in
the form of nuggets may be picked up
on the surface in the beds of the water
washed coulees. The interesting story
gains almost an enforced credence from
the fact that the red man has often been
found in possession Of nuggets of such
size and character that they could not
have been obtained at any known point
in the Hills, and no white placer miners
having been recently killed from whom
they might have been obtained. 1t will
be remembered that "Bill' Gay, now on
trial for murder at Helena, Montana.
claims that he will be able. if liberated,
to find the spot. However this may be,
there are few Indians on the reserva-
tion who know the spot, and who here
tofore have kept the secret with more
than Masonic secrecy, but it gradually
is leaking out, and will before another
season passes be disclosed. In Septem-
Der last an old and decrepid Indian
and his wife so warmed toward GER
tain federal officer residing at Rushville,
Neb.. for favors shown them by him,
that they promised to guide him to the
secret spot. A party was made up,
consisting Of five white men, the two
old guides, and trailing band of about
thirty Indians. Everything was har.
monious until Grand river was reached
and the supposed vicinity of the gold
region approached. Camp was made as
usul one evening, the whites retiring al
the usual hour, but the reds sat in
solemn council the entire night through
and in the morning coolly packed up
and silently and without explanation
pulled for home. Big Bat. the famous
scout, was sent on their trail for an ex.
planation, but he received little en-.
couragement; they simply saying, In
the dead hours of the past night the
spirits oftheir dead friends and relatives
had taken part in their conncil and bade
them retarn. And return they would
and did. The whites could do no more
and they returned, but not to give up
the quest and with the advent Of fair
weather next season the party will be
made up and another attempt made to
find the spot"

portion Of the interview Of local interest
is as follows: "By the way, our own

Senator Dubois Talks.

A Salt Lake special TO the Omaha Bee
reports an interview with Senator
Dubois in that city on Tuesday. the SEN
ator having stopped off day at that
place while en- route TO Washington.
When asked his views on the reorgani-
zation of the senate. he said: If Utah
elects two republican senators, the re-
publicans will reorganize the senate. /
don't anticipate any attempt toward re-
organization until the two Utah senators
are elected and reach Washington. In
addition to this strengh, If Senat or
Jones Of Nevada, and Senator Butler of
South Carolina will 60 into the re-
publican caucus, it will Immediately
put the repub leans in a position
to organize the senate. If neither of
them shonld 60 with the republicans, it
is my opinion tn en- that an arrangement
will be entered between the republican
and democratic senators whereby the
senate will be organized and the patron
age distributed. OF one thing am GER
tain. and that is that neither party will
enter into any combination with the
populists."
How do you think they will go about
it to raise revenues for the treasury de-
ficit?"
Through additional tariff legislation.
The republicans will, of course, use their
judgment as to what tariff legislation
should be enacted to raise the necessary
money for the government expenses.
The senator's from this section will in.
sist that there shall be duty on wool,
rs condition of any support that may
be given eastern senators for any tariff
legislation affecting that section. In my
judgment there will be no tariff legisla-
ton at this session Of congress that does
not carry duty on WOOL
what action do you think President
Cleveland will take as to the proclama
ton declaring Utah state ?"
He will issue the proclamation be-
yond doubt. He will have no valid
excuse for doing otherwise, and besides,
such an action would be unprecedent.

THANKSGIVING Proclamation.
Governor Sheldon has issued the fol-
lowing proclamation

lowing proclamation
STATE OF South DAKOTA,
EXECUTIVE CHAMBER.
That the proclamation Of the Pres-
dent may be properly observed by our
people, |, Charles II. Sheldon, governor
of South Dakota, do hereby appoint
Thursday, the 2Sth day Of November, A.
ID. 1895, day Of thanksgiving and pray
er throughout this state.
On that day let all the people, with
reverent and thankful heart, repair to
their several places of worship and
properly express to the Great Giver Of
all that is good, their thankfulness for
the many blessings that have come from
his bountiful hand during the past year.
1t is true We have regretted that all
our people could not have been blessed
with the same more than bountiful har-
vest, which has been gathered over
much Of the agricultural portion of the
state. We have watched anxiously for
the earlier and latter rain and have, in
some sections, been disappointed.
Thoughtful men, however, now ques-
ton whether the disappointment is rot
blessing in disguise. Our people are
! awakened to the need that they should
Hihkc use VI tbS tucdus dt their CCifi-
msnd TO promote their own prosperity.
and with this awakening comes renewed
belief that all unfavorab!e conditions
may in the future be conquered.
Our usual health for which as state
We are justly celebrated still remains TO
US. The courage and hopefulness of the
people is not abated We have not
been the victims of rioting and lawless-
ness
FDr all these blessings let us be truly
tkankfu ful, and in its expression bring re-
newed courage for the future.
Let those who have been especially
blessed not forget their less fortunate
neighbors, never failing to remember
that loving and assisting our fellow men
Is the noblest expression which can be
given to our lives.
'Inasmuch as ye have done it unto
one Of the least OF these, my brethren,
ye have done il unto me-"

There has never been time in the his

so many mining deals pending as there

Lawrence county alone will approxim-

pending in the southern Hills, which
would largely swell the figures stated.
Should all of these pending deals be
consummated, it would give us money

P. Wheelock property, situated at Har-
ney City, which couple Of sioux Falls

sidered valuable piece Of ground, with
q good quantity of fee milling ore upon
it, carrying heavy concentrate. The
ground was located several years ago.
and has remained idle but for the annual
assessment work. If the proposed deal
goes through it will mean good deal
for the other mine owners Of that vicin-
ity, as they are most too poorly situated
to permit of their working their ground

low grade and will not justify them in
shipping it abroad for treatment.
