President Wilson today formally, by
proclamation, designated Thursday
November 3Oth. as Thanksgiving day
The presidents proclamation fol-
lows:
st has long been the custom of our
people to turn in the fruitful autumn
of the year in praise and thanksg CIV
ing to Almighty God for his many
! blessings and mercies to us and the
nation.
"The year that has elapsed since
we last observed our day of thanks
giving has been rich in blessings to
us as people. but the whole face of
the world has been darkened by war.
In the midst Of our peace and happi-
ness our thoughts dwell with pain
full disquiet upon the, struggles and
sufferings of the nations at war and
Of the peoples upon whom war has
brought disaster without choice or
possibility OF escape on their part
We cannot think Of our own happiness
without thinking of their pitiful dis
tress.
Now, therefore, Woodrow Will
son, president of the United States
OF America, do appoint Thursday, the
30th Of November, as a day of nation
al thanksgiving and prayer and urge
and advise the people to resort to
their several places of worship on
that day to render thanks to Almighty
God for the blessings of peace and
.unbroken prosperity which he has
bestowed upon our beloved country
in such unstinted measure.
"And / also urge and suggest our
duty, in this, our day Of peace and
abundance, to think in deep sympathy
of the-stricken peoples of the world
upon whom the curse and terror CT
war has SO pitiously fallen and to con-
tribute out of our abundant means
to the relief of their sufferings.
"Our people could in no better
way show their real attitude towards
the present STRUGGLES Of the nations,
than by contributing out OF their
abundance to the relief of the suffer
ing which war has brought in its
train. "
In witness whereof. I have here
unto set my hand and caused the
seal Of the United States to be ,af-
fixed.
Done at the city of Washington, D.

MOBILIZATION SCENES AT PLAZA

The historical motion picture neg
ative for the permanent records of the
state which. will preserve in motion
portrait, all the figures and the i'm
portant duties performed in the mo-
bilization at Camp Dodge, has taken
hold of the fancy of people out over
the state in such way as to require
the historical department to arrange
it into serviceable shape for motion
picture theaters. The plan for the
production and the disposition Of the
funds derived is as follows:
About 5000 feet OF negative is
being made Of which about half
shows troops doing duties common to
every organization such as drill with
guns; learning to shoot with the
new weapons in scientific manner:
the operation Of targets, telephones,
signals and field glasses in connec-
ton with actual work. These all
show officers and men in the usual
times and places Sof their work. Not
foot of the film is staged for amuse-
ment 1t is for historical record first
and popular use afterward
The other half of the film is more
intimate and local in character. For
instance, battery of the artillery is
shown taking the oath in the cere-
mony identical with that for each
other organization, TO this battery
it will be precious record of the
faces and actions of the particular Of
ficers and men and will afford their
first chance to observe how they in
dividually appeared and how the en-
tire unit appeared. Some half dozen
organizations were recorded under
going this ceremony and the film is
so complete that one can clearly see
the saddened and disappointed look
of the men who stepped out and
didn't take it" in the same scene with
the animated face and tense figure of
the bareheaded man under his up
lifted hand responding to Colonel
Morgan's final $50 help me God. !"
The cost of making the film can
not be be met from any public fund
for want of authority. Curator Har-
Ian arranged that it be done out OF
private funds in the following way:
The rentals OF the film will be upon

NEW SUPERINTENDENT. FOR
NEW GOLDEN WEST COMPANY

General Manager Williams of the
New Golden West Mines company,
who had been in the city for a few
days, has left for a business visit to
California and will be absent for o
couple Of weeks on his mission Be
fore leaving he announced the ap-
pontment Of Eli Cindel as superinten-
dent of the property, the appointment
having taken effect on the 18th
the month. Mr. Cindel is an exper-
fenced mining man and enters upon
his new duties well qualified TO fill
IN of the requirements. He has ap-
nOinted K. /. Ewing mine foreman
he appointment taking effect the
first of the present week. Both are
good men, and the company will pro-
lt by having them in its employ.
Work Of making the raise from
the long working tunnel 10 connect
with the shaft in the open cut has
been progressing rapidly, and ii is
expected 1T viii break through into
the cut within a week or ten days
and when this shall have been done
there viii be perfect ventilation in
the workings.
Work of sinking a shaft near the
creek for the purpose of securing 4
better water supply has been COM
pleted and all that is needed at the
mine has been secured. The other
other work at the property will be
continued during the winter months
and the development which will be
placed upon it will be such that by
spring the ole bodies will have been
so opened up that their value can be
easily determined.

late Jack Gray, one OF the best
Judges of ground that has ever op-
eraterd in the Hills, looked upon it
as the best proposition in the vest,
and had tried to get hold OF IL. other
mining men who have regulations as
being good Judges OF ground hotl the
same opinion. II is understood that
when the work Is started on this pro
position that it will be on a large
scale and that it will result in the
building or a plant for the aatment
Of the ore. Its location, on Dead
wood and Poorman gulches, places IL
in district from which millions of
dollars has been taken in tho past
and from which some of the -ichest
ores Of the Homestake Mining COM
pany are being mined today.
It IS also understood that there
win soon be something doing on the
Pennsylvania property which ad-
joins the Gladiator, and that the
work when started win be undertak-
en- with sufficient capital 70 give the
property the development which is
required to place it on producing
basis. Like the Gladiator this prop
erty is also considered by mining men
as one of the best kinds of a proposi-
tion, and il. too, is known to contain
much rich ore. The Pennsylvania
has had considerable of development
work done on it, and when the new
work is started this development viii
be extended
It is pretty certain that work on
both properties will not be lore de-
layed and that they will soon be em-
ploying many men. The information
comes from the most reliable Of
sources that these operations will
probably be started before the first OF
the year. and that they will be con
tiuued indefinitely, or until such time
as the properties have been placed
in the producing list.

PROTECTING THE DISTRICT
FROM WILDCAT OPERATORS

The announcement that the busi-
ness men of Jerome have organized
to privent wildcatting is one Of the
most Important steps forward. ac-
cording to a statement made by the
Arizona state bureau of mines. Prob.
ably no movement is so widespread
as that to discourage illegitimatC
mining: to prevent wilcats and also
encourage legitimate mining opera
tions. II is the work of the Arizona
mining congress. the work of She
state bureau of mines, as well as the
work of many civic organizations.
and ii is only by the united action
Of many of these organizations that
this may be brought about.
Nothing discourages legitimate
m.ling more quickly than wildcat
ting. The wildcat makes it difficult
for the man with an aboveboard pro-
position TO obtain funds necessary
to develop his property.
Some legitimate mining operations
fail. but all wildcats fail, in every
thing except extracting the money
from the pockets of the stockholders.
There are enough failures in mining
where the organizations are sound
and secure.
Every new mining operation
should be forced to play it's cards
open and above board. Publicity Is
fresh air and sunshine to diseased
financial methods. and the honest
promoter working publicly knows
that his clientele will grow as the
public gains greater knowledge of
his operations.

wire with which il had been wound.
n was also disclosed that a system
attic attempt had evidently been 60
ing on for some time to strip the
plant of the copper and brass Of its
machinetry, and that the thieves in
their work had done damage which
amounted as stated, TO from $4,000
TO $4,000.
The plant had been left in charge
of Nj. Decolon and he occupied the
ASSAY office with his wife and kept
a watch over the mill He had been
absent from the plant in the upper
country for several weeks and It was
during his absence that the stripping
Of the plant took place. One Of the
men who Mr.. Jamison found at the
mill Is a son Of the caretaker, Al
bert Decolon, and when questioned
by Deputy Sheriff Noonon, admitted
that he had disposed of lot of cop
per wire from the plant to a dealer
in Junk. and this was afterward
found in the possession Of the man
to whom it had been sold, who denies
any knowledge of the fact that 1t
had been stolen
The other fellow arrested is Frank
Burns. who until recently had CON
Quoted restaurant at Vale and who
for several weeks has been visiting
at the home OF young Decolon off
and on When questioned, he like
Decolon said that they had found the
wire back OF the mill, and disclaim-
ed knowledge of the wrecking of the
machinery. II was his machine in
which the wire had been loaded when
Mr.. Jamison first went to the mill
and found the men there, but when
he returned with Sheriff Noonon they
had dumped the stuff out and were
busily engaged in tinkering with the
auto, which would not start for them
evidently intent on a getaway.
1t is probable that other arrests
will be made today, and the receivers
of the stolen plunder from the
wrecked mill brought into court. The
most of the machinery in the plant
has been rendered useless. and the
damage will probably exceed the
figures given above, and the costly
wreckage was made for the brass and
copper, which, 1t is understood, was
sold at the rate Of 10 1-2 cents a
pound.

WRrCKEo If~ERIAL MIL


From the Deadwood Pioneer-Times.
For the sake OF getting at and
stealing a few hundred pounds of
copper wire and brass, yandals did
damage to the Imperial mill in the
First ward that will approximate
$4,000 to $4,000, and the most that
their vandalism and thefts could
have netted them would not have
amount to more than $50 or $50.
Several days ago Bert Rogers had
occasion to drive down to the mill
Ing plant in his car and while there
saw couple OF men burning the in
sulation from some copper wire. and
when he inquired what they were do
ing was told that they were just fix
ing up some old wire which they
had found. When Mr. Rogers re-
turned up town he informed Robert
Jamison who is the principal owner
in the milling plant of what he had
seen. and of his suspicion that every
thing was not right.
Business engagements prevented
Mr.. Jamison from visiting the mill
before Thursday afternoon and in
company with William Fountain he
went there for the purpose of look
ing things over. When they arrived
at the mill they found two men there
inside of the old roaster house, and
standing on the outside a Ford ma
chine, in which had been piled a
mass of copper wire, from which the
insulation had been burned They
asked the men if it was their ma
chine, what they were doing around
the mill and where they got the wire
which was in the automobile.
One of the men informed them
that they had found 1t outside of the
mill and that. thinking it had been
thrown away they had burned off
me insulation and were going to take
~ away and sell IL. They could not.
however, point to the place where
the wire had been laying before
they had burned the insulation from
il, so Mr.. Jamison went TO the
sherift's office and Deputy Noonan
accompanied him in an auto to the
plant and the men were placed under
arrest.
An examination was made of the
mill and IL WIS discovered that the
brass on the motors and other ma
chinery had been smashed off and
that one motor. costing 81. 500 had
been completely wrecked in order TO
get TO about 200 pounds of copper
