Hon. ". CT. Porter, republican candi-
date for the state senate, who has been
engaged for several weeks in making
speeches in the various precincts Of
Custer and Fall River counties, spent 8
few hours in the city on Thursday, de.
parting in the afternoon for an outside
point where he was billed to speak in
the evening. Mr.. Porter is making a
most thorough Canyass Of his district,
and the br.lliancy Of the horoscope of
republican success, now so apparent
throughout the district, may be justly
said TO be, in q large measure, due 10 his
entcrprising and persistent efforts.
While Mr.. Porter is "a candidate for
Office, he is not actuated in his efforts
by the element Of selishness, but being
imbued with the highest loyalty to his
party, is moved by a principle as COM
mendable as it is sincere, to put forth an
earnest effort in its behalf. a similar
effort on his part during the campaign
Of 1894, when he was not q candidate
for any official position, may be accept
ed as q proof Of his answering and
wholly disinterested party loyalty, and
the deep interest he feels in the party's
success. Mr.. Porter has been favored
with large audiences IN both counties,
and his speeches have been highly
commended by the press and people.
He is thoroughly informed upon the
political questions of the day, and pre-
SCENTS his views so clearly, impressively
and logically as to give weight and effect
TO his argument. His unquestioned
ability, force and judgment should COM
mend him to the favorable considera-
ton of the voters of his district when
they cast their ballots on November Bird,
that a large majority OF whom, fecogni2.
ing his excellent ability, unquestiOned
integrity and exceptional fitness for the
position he seeks, will give to him their
hearty and unqualified support.

from the Harvey Peak company last
week.-Miner.
The Hill City News learns through
Mr.. Ranney that the %Sunnyside mine
has so far met all expectations and the
| owners are satisfied with the present
outlook. With the drift on the lG0 foot
level they have now opened up sufficient
| stop ne ground that Mr.. Ranney has de-
cided to place a ) stamp mill at the mine.
For this purpose he as purchased of
Mr.. John Mates the stamp mill, which
has been at thedepot since last spring.
For power Mr.. Ranney has ordered an
so horse boiler with which TO run the
mill and hoist and an air compressor,
when it should become necessary.

p~e&rIaces are very deceptive, there will
be a mining boom along the Spearfish
canyon, in the vicinity Of what is known
as Ragged Top, which will &c ipse
Cripple Creek in its palmiest days.
There is an immense territory Of country
which is apparently alive with gold. 1t
is already past the point of theory, and
is at that stage in development where it
is practically an assured fact. Rock is
now being shipped to the Kansas City
smelter which pays handsomely, and
there seems to be an unlimited quantity.
The whole country is being staked off,
and the work of development is going
on at IN amazing rate.
KEYSTONE NEWS.

the following items Of mining news to
the Deadwood Pioneer: The Holy
Terror company has contracted its work

has cast a sort Of gloom over the camp
The company has recently encountered
a 4-foot vein of ore in q drift from the
200-foot level, and it is pronounced very
rich.
The new cyanide annex to the Key
stone stamp mill was started the first o
the week, but has not been under way
long enough for its degree of success to
be determined. The ore that is being
treated at present is taken from the 40(
foot level.
The Lynch brothers are working
good body Of ore on the Lucky Boy
across the creek from the Keyston'
mine, and expect to keep the ingram
custom mill busy for several months
