The conference Of the Foreign Mission

and earnestly bring TO you an appeal on

Congo Free State We DO this In the
name of forty missionary organizations.
whose work IS prosecuted in all sections
OF the world. and we are persuaded that
the petition interprets faithfully the sem
timent of their constituency Of upwards
Of twenty millions OF Christian men and
women We are not forgetful that recOg-
milton has been given by both govern
ments 10 International duty IN relation
70 this unhappy people. 1t is a source
Of keen satisfaction TO us that our govern
ments are united in leadership in work
so closely affecting international honor.
But we are reminded by the recurrence

burden os wrong continues 70 rest with
crushing weight upon the Congo people,
and we recognize with profound regret
that the first definite step toward just
international action has not Yet been
taken.

Another Rlch Gold strike.

The second rich strike was made on
the Lisbon group Of gold claims in
Keystone this week. The new strike is
even richer than the first and proves
beyond doubt that these claims can be
made paying mines.
The strike was made this week while
the owner Con Liston, an old time
prospector and miner of Keystone, was
doing assessment work on them. 1t was
made about fifteen feet in an open cut
which is being run The ore comes in
quartz and shist formation. Though
not specimen ore, it shows extremely
good values when panned. Samples
have been assayed but the result has not
yet been made public.
The Lisbon group lies at the mouth of
Buckeye gulch and is composed of two
and fraction claims, COOK 1900 feet-45
acres in all.
In 1895 the first strike of fore was made
on the ground. When assayed it went
from three to four ounces of gold ton.
Mr.. Liston says the strike he made this
week will show better values than the
former did.
In speaking of the strike, prominent
mining man of the Black Hills who
made personal examination of the
property said: 81 consider the strike
made on Mr. Liston's property one of the
best ever made in the Black Hills. 1t is
just such claims as these that investors
in the east would jump at if they were
made acquainted with their values. -

FIRE DESTROYS SAGINAW HOIST.

Word was received in Custer early
Tuesday morning that tho hoist and air
compressor of the Saginaw Gold Mining
Company, situated nine miles northwest
oftown had been totally destroyed by fire.
The account of the disaster was brought
in by some of the men who are work
ing for the company. The FIRE occurred
shortly after ten o'clock Monday night
and was discovered by the night shift
at the Catawasa mine. 1t was first seen
issuing from near the shaft house and
in short time after the entire building
was ablaze. There was no means at
hand for fighting fire and all that could
be done was to watch the property go up
in smoke. The machinery, including q
complete electric light plant, air COM
pressor, new hoist and two new ma.
chine drills that had only recently been
installed, all, except possibly the eighty
horse power boiler, are total loss The
hoist was well built and was equipped
with fine machinery.
From the hoist the fire work
ed its way to the store room and
blacksmith shop, which were also
destroyed, and are a total loss, with
no insurance. In these two buildings
were stored thousands of dollars worth
of various kinds Of mining tools, ma
chine drills, cables, etc, none of which,
owing to the intense heat could be saw
ed. The mill is located about 500 feet
from the scene of the conhagration and
was not damaged. Mr. Herber, the
president and general manager, esti.
mates the total loss to be about 500
with no insurance. The fire is suppos.
ed to have been of incendiary origin, as
there had been no fire in the boiler for
twenty four hours previous to the con.
| tlagration.
1t is understood that the company will
at once proceed to replace the building.
and install new machinery to take the
place of that destroyed. They had made
all arrangements to start their mill mex
Monday for continuous operations, bu
the accident will interfere with thei
plans and delay matters for months.
