Nothing.
House of Representatives, u. s., Washing-
ton, d. c., April 18th, 1900. MIR. Geo. Ayres !,
Deadwood, S. d.
My Dear Mr.. Ayres:-I desire to
thank you most heartily for your very
kind letter of March Goth. Ihave been
terribly ill with the grippe, otherwise
would have written you earlier. You
put the situation in your county, as
we'll as in the Hills, very clearly and,
1 believe, correctly, from the informa-
tion coming to me independently of
your letter. On February oath, after
most careful consideration I announced
my candidacy for the U. S. senate and
notified my friends would be candi-
date for that position and not for the
position now hold. This anounce-
ment was made after mature consider
alton. The assurances that have come
to me by letters and by state press of
support is SO general and widespread
am free to believed took the wise course.
You are authorized to state that am
not now, and shall not under any con-
conditions whatever, be candidate for
the house of representatives, nor shall
l accept such nomination if iftendered.
l am Il candidate for the U. s. senate.
No man has the right to make the
statement that shall be candidate
for congress, and whoever has done SO
has sought to do SO to my prejudice
and absolutely to falsify and misrep-
resent. Iwant to make this statement
as emphatic and unconditional as it is
possible. l would be ashamed of N.Y.
self to take any other course, after
having made my announcement. You
are authorized to make such use of
this letter as you see fit and brand it
as false if anyone makes the assertion
that am to be a candidate for con-
gress. Yours very sincerely,
ROBERT j. GAMBLE.

ated by liberty loving and patriotic

We fully realize that the glorious
achievements of our army and navy in
the hundred days war with Spain have
brought to us new problems for solu-
tion, fraught with grave responsibilities
the depth and gravity of which can not
be sounded in moment, but the Re-
puh'ir,n party, true to it's traditions,
an is instincts is courageously, intel
i..ent,y and loyalty meeting these
Responsibilities, and under God and
the Constitution will fearlessly dis
charge its duties alike to the inhabit-
ants of our newly aquired territory and
the people of the United States, OBJ
serving the Monroe doctrine in its
integrity and protecting the flag wher
ever it has been successfully raised;
knowing that Republican institutions,
the fruition of the highest civilization
of the centuries, will not oppress nor
infringe upon the liberty of any peo-
pie; and we now declare that we are
unalterably opposed to permitting the
flag of any despot to float over soil
hallowed by the blood of American
heroes, shed in the cause of humanity
and freedom and in the defense of
American honor.
We congratulate the republicans of
the state in having secured able, active
members of congress in the persons of
Messrs. Burke and Gamble; and believ-
ing that the experience of Robert j.
Gamble, his tireless activity in work
ing for the interests of the people of
every portion of the state especially
qualify him for the position, we heart
lily endorse his candidacy for tho
United States senate. And we as
heartily endorse the candidacy of
Charles II. Burke for denomination,
recognizing in him the faithful repre-
sentative of the progressive young re-
publicans of the state.
We are gratified that the time now
seems auspicious and bright for this
important portion of South Dakota to
secure representation in congress.
We recognize in Hon. Il w. Martin
an able, honest and representative
citizen, who from his long and active
residence in the Black Hills knows the
needs and desires of the people in the
way of National legislation; Therefore,
Resolved, That we heartily endorse
Mr.. Martin as a candidate for repre-
sentative in congress, and instruct the
delegates chosen by this convention to
use all honorable means to secure his
nomination by the state convention to
be held at Sioux Falls, May 23rd, 1900.

BROKERS HAVE A
CHRISTMAS TREE

New York, Dec. 22.-The annual eel
ebration on the floor Of the stock eX-
change today, after the two hours
trading had been disposed of, eclipsed
all former records An enormous
Christmas tree had been provided and
several thousand dollars had been sub
scTibed among members of the ex-
change TO provide a present for every
one connected with the institution The
galleries were closed to the public, hav-
ing been reserved for the use of the
friends Of the board.
Such preparations for a holiday eel

the general progress OF business, but
that was not the case today. The vol

been larger on any day during the re-
cent excited bull market.
The confusion and disorder about the
exchange increased as the hour ap-

half gross value Of the ore to the smell
ter trust:
The CentenniaI-Izure<a is now earn
ing about $50 000 per month net, under
its contract with the American Smelt-
ing & Refining company, equal to about
$3.50 per share per annuTn on the 100, 600
shares of stock outstanding, as against
81 per share paid in dividends. When
the company was paying dividends Of
81 per share quarterly it showed earn
ings sufficient to do this but it was
| considerable of a strain to turn out
sufficient high-grade ore to earn 81
per share. especially under the high
charges of the American Smelling &
Refining company, in conjunction with
the high freight charges on ore shipped.
At the present time the Centennial
Eureka is paying $3.50 freight charges
on every ton of ore shipped out, but
when it secures its reduction plant it
will be able to reduce a ton of ore to
200 pounds of matte and thereby the
company will be able to save S2.25 in
freight on every ton of ore at present
supplied under the American Smelling
company's contract less the cost of re-
duction.
This saving in freight alone on the
present output will be sufficient to
show earnings of s. per share for the
stock.
The Centennial Eureka, contract has
proved a bonanza for the American
Smelling & Refining company. 1t is
said that the profits of the latter com
pany through this contract have been
about $150,000 per annum. The con-
tract expires in about ten months and
there is no prospect of it's renewal on
the present basis.
It viii be recalled that negotiations
were opened with the Eureka Hill COM
pany at Tintic some time ago for the
treatment of the Centennial Eureka
lOw-grade ores An interesting story
is back of these negotiations. 1t seems
that the Centennial-Eureka manage
ment has been looking over the ground
at Tinttc in quiet way for good mill
site. Knowing this, the owners of the
available mill sites placed prohibitOry
prices on their property. The Centen-
nial-Eureka people then opened nego-
tiationS with the Eureka. Hill people to
head off the mill site owners and the
bluff" worked. for the Centennial-E1u
reka- people shortly afterward secured
the min site desired at their own fig
ures and the negotiations with the Eu-
reka Hill people were declared of.

TELLS WHAT BIT HIM.
Bryan Suggests Legislation Against
Trust Combinations.
KANSAS City Star.)


In an article contributed to the De-
cember North American Review Will
liam J. Bryan gives the causes for his
defeat and it's influence upon the flu
ture. The article is called '"The Elec-
ton of 1900" Mr.. Bryan's first reason
for his defeat is that the Republicans
had a large campaign fund. He recog-
nizes the legitimate use Of money in a.
campaign, and says that while the Re
publicans had plenty the Democrats
had little. His next observation is that
the Republicans were able to get
passes on which to send voters to their
homes. TIE Democrats didn't have
these and he thinks some congressional
districts were thereby lost. Then he
suggests colonization and the purchase
of votes as two possible factors in his
defeat, but he admits that it is impos-
sible even for him to calculate their
effect.
Another advantage of the Repub-
licans, ne says, was that accruing to
an administration while a war is in
progress, but TO his mind the most po-
tent argument used by his opponents
was the comparison of the present
prosperous conditions with those of
1898 and 1895. He repeats his declaT-
alton that the Republicans had moth
ing to do with the change and then
he pitches into the trusts, giving a list
of the largest ones. which. according
to his figures, have a capital stock Of

REFUND OF ASSESSMENT
JOHNNY GOLD MINING COM
PANY LISTS ITS SHARES.

What may be rightfuIIy termed the
initial dividend from the Star COnsoli-
dated was ordered paid yesterday. when
President and Manager Milan Packard
had prepared an announcement that,
beginning tomorrow and continuing as
fast as receipts were presented, the
stockholders who several months ago
paid a voluntary assessment aggregat
ing S37, 500 would have returned to them
by the SpringvilIe National bank one
half of their contributions, with ac-
crued interest. The moneys thus or
dered paid will amount to about $40 600
and win go to those who hold the COM
pany's receipts for the amount paid
when the assessment was called for.
The balance, Mr.. Packard stated yes
terday afternoon, would be forthcOm-
ing early in the new year. In addition
to this payment, the $500 Indebtedness
against the company held by the Bank
of Commerce is to be iquidated, and
from present appearances the company
viii be out Of debt and earning good
money inside Of sixty days.
Another fOur-car shipment of ore is
on the way to market. Manager Pack
ard says, and this will be followed by
three cars more early in the week.
Most OF the ore now being mined is
coming from the 200, 300 and 400 levels,
and the 500 is said to be looking well.
Asked as to the reported strike of
copper ore on the 500, Mr.. Packard said
he did not want to discuss the cOndi-
ton of the mine or any part of 1t. I
prefer to let the ore shipments do the
talking, said he, and l promise you
now that they viii do it." The an
nOuncement that the company's in

vanced the sock several cents on the

JOHNNY MINE LISTED.
It Will be Called on Change To
morrow.


morrow
The listing committee Of the Salt
Lake Mining Stock exchange, which
has been considering the application of
the officials of the Johnny Gold Mining
company for the listing OF its shares,

tomorrow morning.
The company is capitalized for 300,
600 shares with a par value of 81 each,
and of the 100, 900 shares originally
placed in the treasury, $4,000 shares vet
remain. The officers of the company
are: 9. o. Newell, president; w. J.
DOciy, secretary, and Frank n. Wilson,
treasurer. The property consists of the
Johnny and Victor lode claims, in
Statehne mining district, both of which
have been surveyed and are now ready
to 20 to patent. The mine IS opened
TO a depth of 170 feet and in all there
IS over 1000 feet of workings. 1t IS
equipped with a new hosting and
pumping plant. as well as a small mill,
from which S1S341 worth of bullion has
been produced. 1t is now estimated
that there is $3.50. 600 worth of ore
blocked out in the mine and $500
worth Of unrecoveTed gold in the tall
ings.
The Johnny IS looked upon as one of
the eleanest-cut gold propositions in
the state and il has done much to give
the district in which il is located the
DrOminence il boasts today
