THANKSGIVING. 1899:


By the Governor of Arizona-Proclama-
ton.
One hundred and ten years ago, both
houses of congress by joint committee
requested the first President of this
Nation ito recommend to the people of
the United States a day of public
thanksgiving and prayer, to be OBJ
served by acknowledging with grateful
hearts the many and signal favors of
Almighty Cod" and in accordance with
by the illustrious father of his country,
the President of the United States has
proclaimed Thursday, the thirtieth day
of November, as day of thanksgiving
and praise to that Omnipotent Being
who in divine mercy and grace has en-
throned this Republic first among the
our advancing civilization from the
struggling infancy of national life when
the immortal Washington first pro-
claimed a day of thanksgiving, until
now our military, naval, and CONNER
cial supremacy is admitted throughout
the world.
We should be especially thankful that
during the year now closing, in the
early dawn of a new century, our star
of national destiny is approaching the
zenith, its brilliancy untarnished by a
single blot of dishonor, and the holy
inspiration of our fathers is being real
lied. We should be profoundly CRATE
full for the inestimable blessings of an
enlightened, honest, and courageous
administration OF national affairs; for
an expansive and liberal public policy
foreign and domestic, and for the glori-
Gus victories of our army and navy in
relieving the oppressed and in promot-
ing higher civilization and better gov
eminent wherever it has been deemed
wise to assume national responsibility
We should render heartfelt thanks
for this season of uneXampled CONNER
cial prosperity; for bounteous harvests,
and marvellous development of our nat
ural resources: for the operation of
mills and factories at their fullest ca
pacity; for the elevation of labor. and
its liberal compensation; for pHeserva-
ton from pestilence and disease; for
the happy contentment of the people,
and for that loyal and patriotic judg-
ment of our citizens which insures the

of il has been loaded on freight wagons
and is en- transit to the San Francisco
mine, Cedar district, where it will be
erected and running within sixty days,
according to the understanding between
the company and owners, the w. H.
Taggart Mercantile company, and Tir-
bucio PadillO. The Kingman Miner
says that the success of this enterprise
is almost an assured fact as the San
Francisco is a big vein 70 gold bearing
quartz, and has shipped rich ore con-
tinually ever since it's discovery. The
only obstacle to be overcome is water.
which at certain seasons is likely to be
scarce. Outside of this drawback there
is nothing to hinder, and even this OBJ
stacle will likely be removed with de-
velopment work now in progress on the
springs in the immediate vicinity.
In Prescott there are a few specimens
of ore from a mine owned by Mr.. Col
Inns and partner. near the Mudhole
mine on lynx creek. The Currier says
that the mine is called the Collins and
has Us feet of development work; the
tunnel cuts the hill at a depth of 300
feet. and ore taken from the mine has
far more than paid for all development
hOThs lIle ore SoO SOlu anu S1O
silver per ton. There is from ten to
twelve inches of this ore and two feet
more of lower grade ore, which concen-
trates four into one; three tons of these
second grade concentrates yielded $50
per ton. Ore from the mine run in a
local mill plated SIS a ton. When Mr..
Collins came to town a few days ago
lie brought with him a bar of gold
worth $3.50. taken from ore from the
Collins mine. Mr.. Collins and partner
have another location near the Collins,
upon which thirty feet of work has
been done. ore from which assays from
$50 to s11S per ton gold. The samples
of ore at Mr.. Breeds office are from
both these mines, and they are rich ore
specimens. One of them seems to be
about half galena. The Collins can al
ready be classed as a producing mine.
with all the earmarks OF a bonanza.
About a year ago Mr.. Collins, a miner,
was sick in the hospital in Prescott,
with prospects about as blue as posi-
bic. Today he has a competency and
is on the high road to fortune. Such
occurrences are common in a mining
section like this, but are very uncom-
mon in all but mining regions.
