Rev. Wheeler Dcllvere the Principal
aeraion Special Mosle.
Union memorial services In honor of Wil
liam McKlnley were held at the tent. Twenty-third
and M streets, at 11 o'clock yester
day. It Is estimated that over 1.000 people
attended these services. All of the local
clergymen were present and occupied seats
upon the platform, which was festooned with
flags draped in mourning, and a large photo
graph of the former president. All of those
who could procure them wore the favorite
flower of the late president, a pink carna
tion. Rev. Robert L. Wheeler, pastor of the
Flrat Presbyterian church here for fifteen
yeara, delivered the principal address. He
chose for hi theme, "Faith, the immortal
element In character" and used the thir
teenth verso at the eleventh chapter of He
brewa: "These died In faith, not having re
ceived th promlc, but having een them
from afar off. and were perauaded of them,
and embraced them." He said, In part:
Sir Walter Scott tells In a masterly way
the tory of Old Mortality, that loving ad
mirer of the old Covenanters who devoted
his time and energies to the reetoratlon of
their monuments. The touch of time had
moxsed tne marbles where rested their
names and recited their virtues and there
names of whom the world wss not worthy
were passing Into oblivion. Then Old Mor
tality, as he came to be called, wandered
over Scotland's klrkyards scraping away
the moss, chiseling anew the letters and
sacred story of the heroism of thone im
mortal ones thRt a younger generation
might read ar.d not forget the names of the
men who saved the liberties and faith of
Auld Scotia In an eternal perpetuity.
In our text Paul waa doing much the
same port if work. The young church was
slow to take on the greatness of character
It must be possessed of if it nil the heav
enly dream 1'aJl's mind vlsloned in the
coming empire of righteousness by the
faith of Jesua Christ. Po he points out the
names of the heroic dead of th old church
Abraham. Jacob. Moses and David, and
declared "those held faith until death, they
saw the promises afar off by faith, they
were persuaded of them, and embraced
them" faith then wss thi' element In them
which gave the brilliancy of Immortality
to their character and names.
We have gathered about the first annual
milestone In our Journey since we knelt
with a sorrowing nation at the grave of
on of Americas greatest men great not
becajee he was a loyal soldier, not alone
because he Waa the best loved president,
but because he possessed that element of
faith by which he saw beyond the vision of
ordinary men the things of tomorrow, and
In the language of the text, "he was per
susded of them and embraced them." We
had Just entered the gateways of the new
century, the outlines of the nation' larger
life dimly lined the future. No man sine I
the days of Lincoln read ao accurately the
divine destiny nt tnis republic. Mr. Mc
Klnley could not with his great faith be
lieve that thla nations' future wa con
fined by the Golden Oat on the west or
Castle Oat den on the east, but eyesight
overlooked he seas "he raw the promise
from afar off and was persjaded of them."'
He aet the stars of Old Glory In the Ori
ent, by faith he compassed the Isles of the
seas with constitution and law, and beyond
our sea-gates poured the light uf our civ
Illation until the world waa belted with
the larger hope of our larger life. W'aeh
Ir.gton at Hunker Hill by faith aaw the col
onies take on constlt jtlonal life; Lincoln at
Gettysburg saw by faith a new nation rise
from the smoke of a cruel civil war but It
waa reserved for William McKlnley to ex
tend Columbia s dominion worldwide and
Introduce her. a living, reigning quern,
among the powera of the earth. Faith im
mortalised him.
Following tha sermon of Dr. Wheeler
there waa a short address by Evangelist
Smith, which wss directed along the same
line. Special music waa provided for th
ccraslon. The songs loved best by th late
president were rendered by a choir and the
music was greatly appreciated by those
present. The flags on the postofQce building

at half-mast in honor of McKlnley and re

Q. L. Landers, who represents a Chicago
company, a few days ago purchased of 1. L.
Rider his Four Mile property, besides a
good ranch which Is adjacent to the mines.
The consideration, while not made public. Is
known to hsve been a large one. Mr. Iand

om the property tested and he seems to
lve been very much plessed with the re
sults of the test.
! The Duluth Copper company, which has
been prospectlag Its ground on Spring creek,
nesr this city, with a diamond drill, will
drill another 100 feet. The drill la now down
200 feet, and It Is said that the assay mad
from the cores taken from the hole show
that the drill is in ore. at that depth, and
that it will prove to be a good proposition
to sink on.
The Oolden Mortar Mining and Develop
ing company Is the name of an organlaatlon
which has recently been organised In this
city for the purpose of developing th
Holmes and Bebbington property on Light

It Is the Intention of the new company to
open up and develop.
Ore of a good grade has been struck In
the shaft of the Clara Belle and the two
stamp Treamalne milt, which is on the mine,
will he started up on It this week. There Is
said to be a big body of it where the shaft
cut it and that ail of It will pay to mill.
The Clara Belle has several good ore bodlea
exposed on It In the various workings and In
all of them the ore la of fair grade. It Is
a free-milling concent ra lng proposition, and
with a large plant every jiound of ore in
the mine would pay well to work.
Development on the LeRoy group I being

Activity at Raarared Top.
DBADWOOD. S. D., Sept. 14. (Special.)
Considerable activity Is being displayed
among the mines of the Ragged Top district
of late and the work which Is being done
there is uncovering some very good ore
bodies. In the Cameo group, owned by Ros
slter and associates of this city, a shaft 7x11
In the clear has been sunk for a distance of
U) feet. This shaft has been following down
a amall vertical and at the present depth
has struck a shoot of ore In the flat for
mation which runs $10 a ton. This shoot
has been prospected by a twenty-flve-foot
drift and the or Is growing a little better
as it is being gone in on. Mr. Rossiter,
who is superintending the work, has stopped
development on th shoot and will continue
work in the shaft, which will be sunk until
It reaches the sandstone contact, which lies
under the lime. On this contact he expects
to find that the four-foot vertical which be
haa been following will develop Into a large
shoot of ore, aad that the vein which comes
to the surface In the shaft Is but a utrlnger
leading from It. This la a new proposition In
this district, for heretofore It has not been
thcught worth while to look for ore on the
sandstone contact and little attention has
been paid to the small shoots which are met
with in the various workings In the neigh
borhood In this formation. In th Dicey
shaft, which la cloae to the Cameo, and down
166 feet, the sandstone was gone through
about 135 feet from the surface, and above
It and resting on It the shaft cut through an
eighteen-foot shoot of or, but it waa the
intention to sink the shaft to the quarttile,
so little attention wss paid to this ore body
until the Work In the Cameo again called
attention to It, and the Dacey company will
now begin operations looking toward open
ing It up. Work on this ground has been
suspended for some time, but will be re
sumed this week, when a station will be
established on the sandstone contact and
drifts started in the shoot and ore taken
out for shipment, as samples of ore taken
from the face of the shoot where exposed In
the shaft fchow that the ore all) average
0 to the ton, and is one of the best cyan
Idlng propositions. The ore occurs Just be

The placer mining sesson on Bear gulch
and vicinity ha Just about closed, tbs
aater in the creek being ao low that the
best that the miners ran do la to "rock"
or pun the gravel, and aa it ha to be pretty
rich to return good wages, this process
Is a little too slow for the average man.
During the aenaon there haa been good pay
taken out all along the creek, and from tb
little dry drawa running back of It
and especially have the dry digging paid
well for those who worked them, many
miners taking out money enough to kesp
them all of the winter in comfort, while
others who have put in th summer and
spring digging in three draws hava laid
aside sufficient for them to do their annual
assessment work the coming winter on
their quarts claims.
Th tia mines in tb Bear gulch district
ar being worked to a greater extent this
year thaa ever before, and some splendid
prospect ar being opened up. The Beat
Oulch Mining company own a large acre
age of ground In the dletrlct, and hat
atarted development work on a number
of fine ledgea of tin ore, it haviug Juat
completed Its annual work on a large num.
ber of claim, and having exposed numerous
strong verticals. The company keeps quit
a force of men employed all of the year
around on Ita property, and this week will
resume operations on a gold proposition
which It Is developing by a double com
partment ehaft. Thla abaft haa reached
a depth of 115 feet, and Is following down
a vertical of cyanidlng ore. which Is in the
neighborhood of twenty-five feet ia width,
and which carries value running from $9
to $20 a ton. The ore ia similar to that
found in the Ragged Top district, and
occurrs here in the flat formations, as well
aa in the verticals. The company Is well
prepared to do extensive mining during
the winter and will add to Ita working
force aoon.
I adeveloped Bonanza.
The Eleventh Hour property, on Iron
creek, is proving to be an undeveloped
bonanxa. This property Is owned by John
Madtll and associates, who have been doing
considerable prospecting on It all of th
spring and summer, and have found ore
In every hole which they have sunk. They
have Just completed the erection of a num
ber of cabins, and other improvement on
the ground and are laying In their winter
stock of provisions and other supplies for
the season which is to come. They have
sunk a number of shallow shafts on the
ground In different places and Ai every
one of them have found ore. A tunnel has
Just been commenced on the rim of the
outcrop, and Is now under cover. Tnt
tunnel will be driven In on the ore shoot
which Is found In that place and work on
it continued during the winter months.
The ore ia the aame as that found in
Ragged Top. In fact, the district la but
a continuation of that district, and the
ore which Is being taken out from the
workings here Is as good as thst from that
famous district, and the shoots appear to
be just aa large. The ore which Is being
mined In the Eleventh Hour will run from
$15 to $20 a ton, and Is a splendid cyanld
ing proposition.
Lowell MaBon, who own a group of claims
adjoining the Eleventh Hour Is making
preparations for doing his winter work.
He haa considerable work done on the
ground in the way of development, and
haa several fine shoots of ore exposed on It
which carries values as good as that In
the Eleventh Hour. Charles J-sncls Is
doing work on another group in the same
neighborhood which Is showing up well. In
fact the district is being prospctcted aa It
never has been before.

ROCHFORD. S. D., Sept. 14 (Special.)
The Black Hills Copper company ha re
linquished the bond which it took several
months ago on the Benedict group of claims
In the Hornblende district, to a Montana
syndicate, which la represented in the Black
Hllla by Percy Train of Butte. The Orig
inal owner are Mendenball, Hooper, Woods
and Lewis, who before giving a bond 00 the
property developed It extensively. The
group contains 300 acres, and has exposed
on It one of the largest ledgps in Penulng
ton county. The Black Hills Copper com
pany took the option on the group early
last spring and since that time has done
considerable development work on It. A
new Incline shaft waa started by the com
pany on the vein, and a Chilean mill moved
onto the ground from Smith gulch, where
it hat been In successful operation for sev
eral months. The Incline shaft Is now
down 135 feet, and Buperintendsnt Taylor
of the. Black Hills Copper. company Is au
thority for the statement that the ore taken
from this Incline hat paid for the work of
sinking It, aa well at reimbursed the com
pany for the expense it has been to in In
stalling the mill and other machinery.
The Black Hllla Copper company will ap
ply itself exclusively lit the future to the
development of its group of copper-bearing
claims on Copper Reef mountain. On this
group of claims the copper, company has
a great deal of development work done one
Incline which has been driven on the
ground It 800 feet long, and from that level
a cross-cut ha been drlveb to the west,
which I thought to be near the main ledge
toward which it la being driven. It fs
now In about 100 feet, the slates
through which It Is bring driven being
heavily Impregnated with copper, while oc
casional small stringers of or are en
countered which carry a" Bmall percent
age of copper as well as some gold and sli
ver. The ledge waa cross-cut at the 400
foot level, and at that point was sixty
feet across. Assay returns made showed
that the or carried from 1V4 to S per cent
copper, from $2 to $3 In gold and a little
silver. The shaft, or rather incline, waa
continued from the 400-foot level with the
object of getting at the permanent water
level, for at the 400-foot the or gave dis
tinct evidence of leeching.

cott of the Panama railroad has obtained
permission from the government that the

As a result of international treaties, al
moat all foreign vessels coming to Colombia
have In the past enjoyed the exemption
of tonnage duties which was extended to
ships under the Colombian Aug. A decree
recently iBsued revokes this concession and
from now on the duties In question must
be paid by all vessels. It Is believed that
the recent difficulty of the government with
the Pacific Steam Navigation company of
Liverpool, when the company refused to
transport government troops from Bucna
Ventura to the Isthmus on board the
steamer Ecuador, caused this decree to be
Issued.

A MA! OF WISDOM.
Had the Foresight to Uo Armed for
F.inericencles.
He attracted some attention as he passed
along the street, relates thn Brooklyn
Eagle.
"An actor." commented some of the
crowd, "and in costume."
"Absurd," was the Judgment of others.
A sword alone docs not constitute a cos
tume, and why should he wear one without
tbe rest of the regslia."
"And such a sword!" waa the rr ticlsra
of still other. "The scabbard show that
It' round and aa fat as a bologna sau
sage."
"Sir," said one of tbe bolder onts, ad
dressing the subject of the comment, "why
do you go abroad thus strangely equipped?"
"Sir, was th reply, "I have sense."
"Which Is one way of saying that we
have not."
"I would Infer at much. Have you noticed
the weather lately?"
"Assuredly, Do you not see that we carry
umbrellas, even to our great discomfort?"
"To your great discomfort, yea," re
turned the stranger. "So also did I until
recently, for th rain cometh this season
at unexpected moments, and be who atraya
a stone's throw from heme la likely to get
caught lu it. Furthermore it Is the nature
of tbe umbrella that It ahall linger in for
gotten places, ao thst when one would hav
it it is not at band. Wise, indeed, ts he
who doe not unnereesarily tax his mem
ory, but leaves both brain and hands free
for tbe ordinary duties of the day."
As he paused the clouds opened and the
rain came down.
"Gentlemen," he aaid, "a shower."
Reaching to his side be drew his um
brella from Its scabbard and cju ckly raised
It.
"Another summer Ilk that of 1902," he
commented, "will find all mean wearing
umbrella even aa I do mine."
And then he passed on, tbe envy of all.
