hio-Deadwood Company

l. B. Murphy, manager of the Ohio
Deadwood Gold Mining company. was
in Deadwood yesterday accompanied by
a number of Ohio gentlemen who are
interested in the company. He says
developments at the mine are of the
most encouraging nature and the work
of installing the machinery at the new
mill is progressing nicely. The com :
pany will have mill of approximately
loOton capacity. Tie building has
been completed for several weeks and
most OF the machinery is now on the
ground, part of which is in the build
ing. Huntington mills are being put
in for crushing ore which is to be sub
mitted to a primary roasting process in
which electricity will be used. This
process, it is said, will make the gold
in the ore amalgamate much more
readily. Mr.. Murphy seemed to be
much encouraged over the outlook

Found Coal.

Zeno q. Brown, Of the Soldiers.
Home, has been doing some prospect
ing for coal for some time and several
days ago found vein of camel coal
from two inches to foot thick, and
about fifty yards long, cropping out of
q rocky cliff short distance this side
of Scovel's ranch, two miles above
town. The vein is down close to the
creek. 1t burns freely and the indica-
tions seem good for pretty nice vein.
Mr.. Brown is naturally we'll pleased

THANKSGIVING pKoc1A1Ar1oN.

President Calls Upon the People to- Praise
God for Bounty.
President Roosevelt has issued his
annual Thanksgiving proclamation in
the following terms:
By the President of the United States
of America, a Proclamation:
The season is at hand when, accord.
ing to the custom OF our people, it falls
upon the president to appoint a day Of
praise and Thanksgiving to God.
During the last year tie Lord has
dealt beautifully with us. giving US
peace at home and abroad and the
chance for our citizens to work for
their welfare unhinderesi 10y war, fam
inc or plague. 1t tGehooyes us not only
to rejoice greatly because of what has
been given us, but to accept it with e
solemn sense Of esponsibility, realiz-
ing that under heaven it rests with us
ourselves to show that we are worthy
to use Alright what has thus been Ell
trusted to our care. In no other place
and at no other time has the expert
ment of government of the people, by
the people, for the people, been tried
on SO vast scale as here in our own
country in the opening years of the
twentieth century. Failure would not
only be dreadful thing for us, but a
dreadful thing for all mankir d, because
it would mean loss of hope for all who
believe in the power and the righteous
ness of liberty. Therefore, in thanking
God for the mercies extended to us in
the past, we beseech him that he may
not withhold them in the future, and
that our hearts may be reused to war
steadfastly for good and ag ainst all the
forces of evil, public and private. We
pray for strength and light, SO that in
the coming years we may with cleanli-
ness, fearlessness and wisdom do our
allotted work on earth in such man.
ner as to show that we are not alto
gether unworthy of the blessings we
have received.
Now, therefore, I, Theodore Roose-
velt, president of the United States, do
hereby designate as day of general
Thanksgiving Thursday, the Goth of the
coming November, and do recommend
that throughout the land people cease
from their wonted occupations, and in
their several homes and places of wor-
ship render thanks unto Almighty God
for his manifold mercies.
In witness whereof have hereunto
set my hand and caused the seal of the
United States to be affixed.
THEODORE ROOSEVELT.

DELAWARE FOR GRAY

delaware Democrats are gradually
lining up solidly for Judge George Gray
for the Presidential nomination. Under
skillful leadership and with sinking O
old factions, it is admitted that the Dem
ocrats have strong chance of carrying
the State in the next campaign. The
party is now entrenched in Wilmington,
and the added power thus given should
prove of great aid.
"While few of the old Bryan wing are
still disgruntled, vast majority of the
party is out and out for Gray. Peter ].
Ford, Democratic leader in Wilmington,
has been for Gray all the time and ex-
Congressman Handy the Bryan leader
is expected to smooth down any ruffies
in the silver wing.
"In the event of Gray's nomination
Democratic observers predict sweeping
victory in the State, which would break
Addicks' power for good. The one fear
is that Democrats will knife the ticket,
as they did in the case of Willard Sauls-
bury, which would give Addicks a
chance to carry the Legislature. This is
assuming that the Union Republicans
have as large a campaign fund as they
had two years. p Philadelphia Record.

HANNA WILL NOT BE CHAIRMAN

WASHINGTON, December 14th.--Sena
tor Hanna has decided finally that he
will not serve as chairman of the nationa
committee in the next campaign. This
determination has been made known in
the proper places, and it may be formally
announced within a few days, although
there is no obvious reason why any an
nouncement whatever should be made.
The senator's reason for holding aloof
from the active management of the cam
paign is the condition of his health,
which makes it inadvisable for him to un-
dergo the strain and excitement at head
quarters during presidential year. If
he were younger and stronger he would
not have hesitated for moment to ac-
cept the Presidents invitation. The
President asked Senator Hanna to re-
main at the head of the committee very
soon after the senator returned to WASH
ington after the election; and he asked
the senator not to give his reply at once,
but to take plenty of time to consider it.
He did not press Mr.. Hanna unduly,
and has done nothing whatever to in
fuencethe latter's decision since making
the original request. Heis disappointed,
of course, at the decision, but at proper
time will make another selection, which
will leave the management of the cam
paign in thoroughly competent and loyal
hands.
1t is not probable that the new chair
man will be selected at once There is
plenty of time for consideration. 1t is
not the custom to name national chair
man until after the national convention.
and it is believed that precedent will be
followed in the present instance.
