Snn Francisco , May 13. Heartier
g.-eotlng was never given a president
'of the United States than that offered
by the city of Ban Francisco to Theo
dora Roosevelt. Through miles and
miles of densely packed , cheering ,
patriotically enthused humanity , the
nation's chief passed , bowing his no
| . Imowledgment , evidently tired from
maintaining an erect position In his
carriage , but buoyed up by the im-
presslveness of the demonstration. It
was a magnificent ovation.
In the parade the line was headed
"by a troop of colored cavalry , this beIng -
Ing the first Instance In the west
where negro soldiers hold the position
of honor in a public procession. Fol
lowing the president came United
States troops from the local posts ,
sailors and marines from warships In
the harbor and at Mare Island and reg
iments of the state mllltla. A notable
feature was the fancy marching of the
Cleveland Grays , who came from Ohio
to participate in the California greet
ing. After reviewing the parade , the
president was driven to the Y. M. C. A.
building , where n throng had assem
bled to participate In the burning of
mortgages and notes , representing the
total indebtedness of $115,280 upon the
property. The president , by request ,
touched n lighted match to the docu
ments , and as the flames licked up the
papers he Joined with the assemblage
In singing "Praise God , from Whom
All Blessing Flow. "
STRIKE NOW SEEMS CERTAIN ,
Great Northern Trainmen and Officials
of Road In adlock.
St. Paul , May 13. The newest de
velopment In the negotiations going
on between the Great Northern and a
committee representing its trainmen
was the announcement that a commit
tee from the St. Paul Jobbers' union
and the Minneapolis chamber of com
merce will meet with the commission
and the railroad officers in an attempt
to harmonize matters and avert a
Btrike. Meantime both Bides are pre
paring for what seems to bo the in
evitable outcome of the deadlock In
the negotiations. Confirmation was
had here of reports from other cities
that the Great Northern had opened
recruiting offices and was contracting
for trainmen to take the place of their
present employes in case of a strike.
The men also say they are fully pre
pared for a struggle , and are inclined
to ridicule the Idea that there are
trainmen enough now Idle in the coun
try to fill their places.

Reports from Now Thunder Mountain
Gold Fields grow steadily bettor. There
will undoubtedly bo a grout rush into
the district this year. Last ytur the
news concerning the now discoveries of
free-milling ore had only begun to leak
out and botoro October more than 20-
000 claims were filed.
From every quarter there will ho
people going to Thunder Mountain , and
all will want reliable information as to
the best route and how soon the trail
will bo open. Many who cannot go will
'want to invest in a good property there ,
and the time to do that is now when
money is needed for mine equipment.
The Thunder Mountain Gold Mining
and Milling Company has n splendid
property of 120 acres , across which
there is a tremendous vein of freo-mill-
ing ore 80 feet wide itnd running right
into Rainbow Peak. Mr. Charles J.

pany , spent all last summer in the dis
trict. Ha is now at ; the company's
eastern ofllces in Now York , where ho

shares. He also possesses full informa
tion regarding the district and makes it
n point to answer all questions about it ,
without charge , BO that all who are in
terested may write and get this inform
ation free and at first hand.
The company which Mr Perkins rep
resents made its first public offering of
stock in January , and so many sub
scriptions have been received that a
great deal of the equipment for the
mine has been purchased and prepared
for shipment as soon as the way is
opened for travel.
It is estimated that fully three mil
lions of dollars worth of machinery and
equipment is now on the way to Thun
der Mountain for various companies.
One of the companies sold stock n year
ago at CO cents a share and now it is not
to bo bought for $3.00 per share. Thirty
other mines are opened and are getting
into richer ere every day.
TJiP property which thin company
