MINE ACCIDENT WHERE
DEATH SEEMED IMMINENT

Through the heroism of his "mates,"
Roy Mackenzie, a miner employed in
the Portland lease on the Florence,
escaped a horrible death Tuesday morn
ing.
In company with two other miners he
stepped on the crosshead at the 400
foot level and gave the up signal. The
swaying of the cable caused the unfort-
innate man to be caught by the shaft
timbers.
The engineer felt that something was
wrong and instantly stopped the hoist.
Mackenzie shift partners jumped
to the ladders and climbed to a level
where there was a saw, with which they
cut away the crosshead and released
the man, whose scalp was nearly torn
off, while the left side of his face was
lacerated.

Especial Correspondence

New York City, Nov. 1.-THE devel-
opments of the past week indicate with
a clearness which cannot be denied,
that the craft Cuisines Revival has
been launched and is at present rapidly
floating out into deep water. The stock
markets are leading the advance. The
course of securities on the exchanges
since election day shows that, in the
minds of the great market operators,
there is no doubt about the business
future of the country. The speculative
activity of the past few days is the
forerunner of a period of plenty. Sc
c~urities are enjoying a bull market,
water mark of prosperity has been
reached.
Far and away the best opportunities
appear TO be in the curb market and
among the new meritorious developing
enterprises. The business revival is
certain except silver, and the price of
silver is certain to be effected favor
ably before long. Copper is now only
fraetionally below 15c per pound, and
in the opinion of the authorities the
market is headed with certainty for an
Is cent price. 1t may not reach this
price for some months, but that copper
will settle around Is cents in the com
parativeiy near future, few well in
formed men doubt. In the meantime,
good copper stocks are a purchase. The
buying of such stocks as Miami, Cum
berland Ely, Superior & Pittsburg,

enormous body of high grade ore, I'm

seems to be conservatively worth $50 a

the experts, its advance has only just

THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION

mines have poured forth a steady
stream of the precious metals for the
enrichment of our people and the bless
ing of mankind. Our state is con-
stantly and rapidly growing in popula-

our boundaries less of extreme poverty
than any other state in the American
union.
Now, therefore, /, ID. s.. Dickerson,

proclamation of the president of the

a day of general thanksgiving Thurs

mend that throughout the state the peo-
pie cease from their wonted oeeupa-

places of worship r%everently thank God
for the manifold BILE ssings He has be-

The ~time-honored custom of setting
apart one day out of the three hundred
and sixty-fve for the offering up, by a
grateful people, of thanks to Almighty
God for blessings received in the past,
and prayers for a continuation OF those
blessings, has become an unwritten law
of our land, and each succeeding year
finds the custom more deeply, more rev
erently intrenched in the hearts and
minds of our people. The time is again
at hand for the observance of such a
day.
The year now drawing to a close has
shine. A disastrous financial panic, ma
ton wide, seriously affected for a time
the prosperity of our state. The un-
timely death, last May, of our honored
governor, John Sparks, east a pail over
our commonwealth that has not yet
lifted.
Yet have we enjoyed many great
blessing for which devout thanks hould
be returned to the Giver of all Good.
The bitter industrial strife which, at
the beginning of the year, threatened,
for a time, the peace and tranquility
of our state, has given place to mutual
understanding and harmony of action
between the contending forces. In
dustrial peace now reigns within our
borders. Abundant crops have re-

AFTER HELENA TRADE

Maurice j. Sullivan, of the Wood.
Sullivan Hardware company, has re-
turned from Helena, formerly Clifford,
in the Kawieh range. Mr.. Sullivan made
the trip for the purpose of looking after
business matters, as well as to look into
the feasibility of establishing a cutoff
whereby the distance by wagon be-
tween the two points can be shortened
by several miles, thereby placing Gold
field in a position to secure a large por-
tion of the trade now being doled out
from that new and busy section.
