Arrangements have been perfectel for
the holding Of an international gold
mining convention in Denver, Colorado,
July 7th, Sth and 9th, which is to be
wholly non-partisan and irrespective Of
party affiliations. A circular issued by
the governor and the chairman of the
executive committee calls the conven-
tion which fully outlines its objects and
purposes, from which we extract the
following:
"The objects Of the convention are TO
secure .uch national legislation as may
be calculated to promote the business
interests and development of the re-
sources of the mining industry in North
and South America to bring together
mining men and investors to increase
reciprocal trade among them; to dis
cuss such questions as are naturally
suggested by its objects, to cultivate
acquaintances, fraternal feeling and
hearty co operation among the various
mining commercial and labor bodies
represented and especially to take un
der ADJUSTMENT the importance Of the
creation by congress of department
to be known rs tho Department Of
Mines and Mining, thus securing cab
met officer that represents an interest
which affects more than one third of
the people Of the United States"
The basis Of representation is liberal
and the Black Hills should, by all means,
be represented in its councils by cre-
ditable delegation.

Drowned in Beaver Creek.

Last Sunday about one o'clock m,
word was brought to town that Ben
Doremus, who had been working for w.
IL. Sewright for several months. who
lives about two miles northwest of town,
had been drowned while in smimming,
and help was wanted to find his body.
A team was quickly provided and with
ropes and grab poles quite number of
people proceeded to the spot where the
sad accident Ind happened. BY half
past two the body had been recovered
but life was extinct as he had been in
the water over two hours. The hole
where he was drowned Was some sixty
feet wide and perhaps one hundred feet
long. the deepest place being probably
seven feet, where he went down last
Three of Mr.. sewright's boys, the oldest
being about IA years old, was in the
water at the same time. Previous to
going in the water he had told the boys
he was subject to cramps and they tried
to prevail on him not to go in there but
to go to another place where it was not
so deep, but he insisted on going in at
that place. They had been in the water
some little time when Ben began to
cramp and call for help. Andy Sewright,
the Oldest boy, went after him three
times, and twice he had hold of his
fingers and was making some headway
toward the bank when he lost his hold.
The last time Ben grabbed him by the
arm on which he had partial hold and
sank taking Andy with him, but he
jerked his arm lose and got out. In the
mean time Andy had sent a younger
brother to the house for help and Mr..
Sewright hurried TO the rescne and i'm.
mediately jumped into the water and
waded around as far as he dared, not
being able to swim much, but could not
locate him. The water was riley and
he could not see any distance. He sent
word to town and continued his search
with q long pole and hook but all to no
purpose.
A telegram was sent to his folks, who
live near the & q. station on the b. &
NJ, and at 10 o'clock that night mes
sage was received fiom Mr.. Frank Van
Orman, step father Of Ben Doremus, to
ship the remains to Edgemont. Other
messages were exchanged the nest
forenoon and in the afternoon the body
was taken TO Hot Springs by team and
expressed over the B. & NJ.
Ben Doremus was strong healthy
young man, and as we understand 81
years old. Mr.. Sewright liked him
very much and spoke highly of him.

The U. S. bimetalic commission are
now located in Par's, where they will
spend month in the exercise Of their
persuasive powers to impress the French
government favorably as to the pro-
priety Of the early calling of an inter
national conference. Their efforts thus
far have not been crowned with success,
the French premier declining to act un-
less assured that Great Britain will
participate. This action on the part Of
France might have been anticipated
and like result would no doubt be
met with in other countries, which gives
rise to the thought, that it would have
been more sensible for the commission
to have selected London as the base Of
their innitial efforts

They Welcome John.

John Wanamaker used to be utilized
by the pop contingent al a terrible
example when they preached feminist
the evils of riches and the desirablity
of hanging millionaires to lamp posts
or apple trees or any other old thing
that might be handy. He was one Of
the cormorants that they were after
with view of stripping them of their
over plusage of cold cash and dividing it
between those who haven't earned any
money or ifthey have, have spent it all.
But the other day after pondering for
some time upon the demnible iteration of
Matt Quay's victories over fellows who
wanted to run against him in Pennsyl-
vania, John suddenly rnugwumped and
declared the country in immediate
danger. He allows that the republican
party has been at the helm now two
months and little oyer and still times
arc tolerably hard. He says that while
protective tariff may help US out some,
why don't we settle the money question?
And he is evidently quite a good deal
disgusted with the republican party be
cause it elected another fellow to the
United States senate a few weeks ago.
The pop organs recognized these symp.
toms in second. They have all ex-
p0rienced the same. The old parties
have gone off and cleft 'em"-that is,
left 'em without an office, and hence
they have been compelled to organize
a newer and purer one. The pop or
gans are welcoming John into the fold
with tremendous effusion and IL he
doesn't look out he will be the preferred
pop candidate for president the first
thing he knows. 1t is not likely that
John contehplates enduring such fate,
but after statesman mugwumps, even

All Of the prominent towns of the
Hills are taking preliminary steps in
the direction Of representation at the
Trans Mississippi Exposition at Omaha
next year, except Custer, which. thus
far, has taken no action. 1t is time
Custer was showing her hand in this
important matter, and we hope that a
disposition to aid in the popular move
ment may be manifested by our citizens
at an early day. Custer has always
been notably in evidence at the import
ant expositions of the past, and it is
of the utmost importance that the city
be represented in this instance. Let
US, by all means, do something, and do
it without unnecessary delay.

rive such strength from her position as
a silver country that the unfortunate
countries that were handicapped by
gold standard would be routed at cnce.
But the enterprising islanders have in
sisted on throwing away the powerful
lever with which they were to overturn
the industrial world, and it is worth
while for silver people to enquire
whether the Japs are fools like all the
rest of us, or whether the awful suspi-
cion that the siver people themselves
have been mistaken may be confirmed.
The proposed trip would be doubly
laudable if one only dared to hope that
the tourists would study the question
open mindedly. Possibly they hope to
come back and make such a report as
will secure them q second trip at the
expense of the government like that
