IS NOT A CANDIDATE
A. E. Hitchcock Denies That He is
a Candidate for Congress on
Democratic Tick,
The Sioux Falls Press of April S,
1908 contains this paragraph:

The Sioux Falls Press of April s.,
1908 contains this paragraph:
On Monday evening next, at Mitch
ell which will be the night before the
democratic state contention, which
is to be held In that city, there will
occur a conference Of a large number
of the leading democrats of the state.
who will assemble as the guests of
the city and who will listen to speech
and music and be served as their
tastes may demand.
1t is understood from an authentic
e. Hitchcock of Mitchell. the we'll
announcement to be made Of the fact
that he is a candidate for congress
from this state and will seek nomin-
alton for that office in the democratic
state convention which will assemble
on Tuesday.
The fact OF Mr.. Hitchcock's ram
die, ry has been known to MANY OF
the democrats of the state for solue
time, but it has been considered a
ma.ter OF confidence until ii was
made public in Sioux Falls last even
ing by n OF the leading democrats
of the state.
This mention Of my name In CON
nection with an office is entirely
gratuitous, coming from the i'm
a%gination OF the reporter, or from
the fancy OF some informant. Such
suggestion has never been brought to
my attention. 1 am not a candidate
for aDv Office before the democratic
convention, or at the June primary
and cam 1t accept such candidacy if
rendered. A. e. Hitchcock.

The council at that time considered

The council at that time considered
it a quicker way to pay for the build
ing than by Issuing bonds. The
structure was completed in 1904, and
while it was erected for the use OF
the state as a temporary capitol, 1T
has been diverted to other uses when
Pierre won out in the capital con-
test. The structure cost $4,000,
and it is a credit to the city. The
city council is to be congratulated in
paying the Indebtedness in a period
of five years. After paying the last
warrant there was a small balance
left in the fund, and by resolution
the amount was ordered turned into
the general fund.
Mcdonald Reelected
The position of weighmaster held
by Nj. M. Mcdonald terminated at the
expiration of the year, and Mr.. Nc
Donald was re-appointed to the place.
There were no other candidates for
the place this year, the first time
since the office has been created.
Investigate Outside Meters
The water committee was notified
to make an investigation of the wa
ter meters in the city that are being
used outside of residences to ascer-
tain whether the system is giving
satisfaction, to determine whether
it shall be followed up In the future.
The committee will report at the next
meeting of the council.
Surveying to the River
The question of completing the
survey of a w to the James River
was brought up and it was referred
to the sewer committee with power
to act in connection with the contin'
uing of the survey work. 1t Il
thought that eventually the city will
have to extend the sewer system tt
the James River and it was believed
to be good policy to complete thu
survey down there.

We understand the Old Abe
Mining Company is to start up
its property the coming week un-
der a complete new arrangement,
by which the property will be
kept In operation. This is an
excellent property and has sufi-
Gent development to keep its big
mill going from the start. This
mine is on the Baxter Royalty
land. -
Ben Brooks has the 81 mine
going at full capacity and is
turning out ore that is running
better than e. per cent metallic
zinc. This property holds the
record for the largest output in
the shortest time of any mine in
the entire camp. With but a
small mill it produced thirty tons
of high grade zinc ore in a con-
tinuous run of twenty hours. The
Baxter Royalty Company, on
whose land this mine is located,
considers this property one of the
best in the camp. =,
The largest pile of zinc and
lead concentrates ever accumu-
lated in this camp is now to be
seen at the Mission mine. All
during the past three months
this property has been running
steadily, and has been letting the
ore pile up. Several bins have
been heaped up and piles made
on the ground to take care of the
accumulation. With the price of
ore getting higher each week,
the company feels that it cannot
make money'any faster than by
letting the ore pile up.
The Hawkeye Mining Co.,
has purchased the valuable prop
erty of the Kramer-Morse Mining
Co., located on the Baxter Roy
atty Company land, is making
arrangements to start up the prop
erty this week. This mine has
been developed to such an extent |
as to show its valne, and the new
company propose to make it the
big mine of the district. 1t has
an unlimited bed of ore, rich lead
and zinc ore, which is thorough
ly disseminated throughout the
full depth of 4s feet thickness.
This property is surrounded by
the big mines of the district.
The M. X. G. T. has reset its
boilers and is now ready to start
up again after protracted idle
ness. This property has a great
record for production, and is only
exceeded by the Mission in
of concentrates produced
since it started something over
two years ago. We understand
that an additional mill of 7OO|
tons daily capacity is to be built
On this property, which will give

WESTERN SENATORS
ARE ALL FOR TAFT
With But W Exceptions and
They Do Not SO Fail 10
Express Themselves.

y
WASHINGTON, D. C., Feb. 90
Every Western Republican senator
with two exceptions has declared
himself favorable 10 the nomination
OF Secretary Taft in interviews au-
thorized. Most of them predict his
nomination. at the Chicago W.
ton. The exceptions were senator
Bourne, Of Oregon, who insists that
Roosevelt will be his own successor.
The other senator asked that for the
present his name be withheld. HIS
colleague, who is for Taft, predicted
that the non-commIttal senator would
be in line for Taft before long. The
interviews We're solicited to deter
mine the views Of the senator's on
the effect Of the presidents message
as to whether 1t took Taft out Of the
race and substituted the president.
Here are some Of the expressions on
the effect Of the message:
Fulton of Oregon, declared himself
unequivocally for Taft and predicted
he would be nominated.
Clapp, Of Minnesota: at means
the nomination of Taft and the en-
dorsement of Roosevelt's policy"
Curtis, Of Kansas: 1T viii
strengthen Taft. 1t is more than ev-
er certain now. since the message
went to congress, that Taft win be
the nominee"
Dixon, Of Montana: ut means the
nomination Of Taft at Chicago"
Sutherland, Of Utah: THE senti-
ment in Utah and in the lntermoun-
tain states is overwhelmingly for the
president and whatever he desires.
Nine out of ten Republicans in Utah
will be ready to do what ever is nee
essary to carry out the presidents
policy, and this win mean the re-
nomination Of the man adapted To
the work. At the present it looks
like Taft"
Borah, of Idaho: Il think Taft
will be nominated. The message will
help him, and not hurt him by any
means"
