dilemma. If Mr.. Root should take the
senatorship on II he should retire from
public life 1t IL considered likely that
Whitelaw Reid. now ambassador at
the court of st. James, would be In
yited TO the vacant cabinet seat. Mr.
Reds successes as American repre-
sentative at several Of the leading Eu
ropean courts have given him much
prestige as diplomat.
Whatever other changes there may
be, It is regarded as almost foregone
conclusion that Frank II. Hitchcock
Will be invited into Judge Taft's cabi-
net. The post he would be most likely
to take Is that OF postmaster general,
now held by George Won L. Meyer,
Mr., Hitchcock was first assistant post
master general before he undertook
the management Of Judge Taft's can,
yass for the presidential nomination!
His success in this work made him the
logical man for running the campaign
for Judge Tafts election. As for Mr..
Meyer, it is predicted that he will sue
ceed George B. Cortelyou as secretary
Of the treasury.
Another new figure In the cabinet OF
President Taft besides Mr. Hitchcock
viii probably be Frank b. Kellogg OF
Minnesota, who is slated to succeed to
Charles J, Bonaparte's shoes as attor-
ney general As an assistant attorney
general engaged in the prosecution of
suits against trusts Mr. Kellogg has
made an especially brilliant record,
and Judge Taft is understood TO feel
that he would strengthen his admins.

in charge OF the legal affairs of the

be crowded with important actions
against big Industrial combinations.
Another new member will probably
be William Loeb, Jr., secretary TO Pres
ident Roosevelt. Mr.. Loeb could prob
ably have had cabinet honors before
but he preferred TO stay IN his place
as the presidents right hand man
Mr.. Roosevelt considers him invalua-
Bile, and Judge Taft shares the presi

Thanksgiving In /

|" HID day on which we express
our gratitude not by fasting,
but by feasting and when our
incense ascends not from an
altar, but from a savory platter of
steaming turkey, is observed In the
great cities much as II is In the coun-
try. Thanksgiving is so thoroughly an
American holiday that 1t wipes out
such artificial lines as those dividing
urban from rural and makes all OF
Uncle Sans large and growing family
one people. What are outward circuni-
stances, the presence or absence of a
few houses or a few dollars, more or
less, before u universal sentiment that
fills a nation? The Lord has been
very good to US as the months meas
ured the year, we say, and We appoint
a festival Of joy and good cheer to ex'
press our gladness. 1t is most fitting,
most characteristic of our land, most
In keeping with the constructive and
optimistic spirit of our people. This Is
true on Fifth avenue and just as true
on the farms of the west and south,

place too much emphasis on the indi'
vidual differences and not enough on
the social unity of our life. But on
Thanksgiving the fundamental SINH
larity becomes apparent-we are all
human and all American, the walls of
castle and cottage melt away, and we
become OF one genus, one mind and
one heart.
On the farm the children gather from
near and fur, aud there rs an old fash
Ioned family reunion. Bill and his
wife come from, the neighboring coun-
ty and Bob from the distant town.
The old father and mother grow young
again as the pratue of grandchildren
In the house takes them back to the
days when this same Bob and Bnl
were frowzy headed aud dirty faced
boys. The turkey is home grown and
home cooked, and therefore has any
bird reared and roasted by we know
not whom looking alien and unappe-
tizing. The pumpkins that make up
the thick and meaty pies are from the

ROUND MOUNTAIN DISTRICT
PUSHING AHEAD RAPIDLY

The sound of the big whistle at the
Solid Gold lease which awakes the
echoes every day at noon and at 4
o'clock is a welcome addition TO the
sound activities of the camp, says the
Round Mountain Nugget.
1t is a fine toned whistle-much like
the tone Of a steam boat whistle-and
has none of the hair raising and goose
flesh inducing qualities of most noise
makers.
Everything for the mill has arrived
with the exception of the plates and
feeders and these are supposed to have
been shipped from Denver by express
and are expected any day. All is in
readiness and in its place and work can
be commenced as o as these are in
stalled.
For the past week fire has been under
the boiler and the machinery thor
oughly tested and being limbered up.
Everything has been found to work like
clock work..
The compressor pipes are being put
in for the machine drills which will be
the first to be used in the camp. Three
of these will be in operation.
The crusher ON the mill has been at
work and all the ore bins filled during
the past week. There is a large ton
mage of ore on the dumps which will be
run at once and which will keep the
mill busy for some time. Aside from
this, General Manager Cy johnson has
been besieged by leasers who want to
have their ores reduced.
Mr.. johnson will also install a cyan
iding plant. This has been definitely
decided upon as considerable cyaniding
ore has been encountered in the dis
triet especially in the leases on Steb-
bins hill where a good grade of ore has
been taken out.
Cy johnson is at the present time in
Denver securing the cyaniding plant
which will come forward at once.

Monday. Mr.. Duke reports a strike
on the lease that compares most favor
ably with that made on the Signal Peak
mine.
A tunnel has been driven to cut the
Signal Peak lode and at about $50 feet
from the portal the vein was eneoun-
tered.
AT this point the vein is at least
twenty feet wide and shows values
across eleven feet. A streak Of quartz
nearly two feet wide goes $41 per ton
and five feet averages better than $50.
Mr.. Duke is drifting both ways on the
vein and is piling up a large quantity
of ore for treatment in one of the local
mills as sccn as a contract can be got.
The management expects to sink a
hundred feet in order to open up stop
ing ground and when this is done the
Duke Cleghorn lease should be a
bonanza.

ACTIVITY in HUMBOLDT COUNTY

The Seven Troughs Gold Mining
company, operating the sandifer lease
ON the Therien property is prosecuting
from the 150-foot level Of the shaft.
says the Seven Troughs District News.
The shaft is down below the level of
Seven Troughs canyon and the cross
cuts now being run will give the great
est depth in the district. The Sandifer
lease is being worked at a point sup
posed to be midway between Harnan
and Reagan veins and when these veins
are reached with the crosscut, some
phenomenal results are expected.
The G.. II. Hayes lease on Mazuma
Hills has also commenced prosecuting
from the 300-foot level. At this sam
level sensational strikes were made in
the Reagan lease and it is confidently
expected that the same results will b,
obtained in the Hayes lease as soon a,
the vein is cut.
The Hayes lease has long since beer
regarded as one of the best propertie,
in the district.
