PROCLAMATION.
ny THE GOVERNOR.

1t is an inexpressibly sad duty to-
announce to the people of Idaho, the|
death of President GARFIELD, at Long|
Branch, New Jersey, on the 10Th inst.
For ten long weary weeks the Ma
ton has stood weeping beside hls|
couch of pain, praying fervently that
his precious life might be spared. But
the prayers Of a sorrowing people and
all that medical skill and science could
do. awaited not, and at last his great
heart has ceased to beat, his indomi-
table will has yielded to the inevitable,
and to adopt his own beautiful words
lon the death Of President Lincoln, his
pure spirit has "passed from the field
|of honor through that thin veil to the
presence of God, and as its parting
folds admitted the martyr President
Ito the company of Lincoln and the
|250, 900 brave spirits constituting the
army of the Republic in the shadowy
Hand, ''the Nation stood so near the
we'll that the whispers of God were
heard by the children of men," Liv.
lug he served his country faithfully
and in manner to reflect great honor
upon it. In death it is fitting we
should honor and reverence his mem.
ory.
|, therefore, earnestly recommend
that all public buildings, Offices, ane
business houses throughout the Ter
ritory be draped in mourning FOR thu
customary period, and, on the day SCI
apart for his burial, that business o
: all kinds be suspended, and the PEG
Pile assemble in their respective houses
# worship, or at such other place al
may be selected by each community
for the purpose Of holding appropriate
memorial services. If this cannot b
done on the day suggested, in al
places in the Territory, ! trust it ma.
be done as soon thereafter as practl
cable.

Expenditures on Claims.

The following circular has been pro-
mulgatcd by the Commissioner of the
General Land Office, explaining and
interpreting the act to amend sections
9, 1924 and 9, 1926 of the Revised Stat
lutes of the United States, concerning
mineral lands, approved January %,
1850:
The first section of this act has ref
(erence only to the affidavits mentioned
lin section 1926 of the Revised Stat
utes. 1t is therefore held that it has
no reference to the manner of estab-
fishing proof of citizenship. An APP
j plicant for mining patent who re-
sides in the land district in which the
mine is located, if within the district
; at the time the application is made
n must take the required aflidavits. II
She is not so within the district, the al.
6davits may be made by a duly APP
pointed agent conversant with the
facts.
1t is held, under the second section
! of the act, that labor performed o.
! money expended upon mining CLAIM
prior to the LIST day of January sue
8ceeding the date of location thereof
will not be considered as a part of, O
applied upon, the first annual expendi
ture required by law. Thus, upon
( claim located at any time during tn
! year 1880, the period within which th
labor must be performed commence
January l, 1881, and during the ca
: endar year 1881 the expenditure mus
: be made, or the claim will be subiec
: to relocation on and after January
1882.
In order to apply the law to clair
located prior to the year 1880, it wi
be necessary to calculate from tn
: date OF location. For instance,
claim located in 1875, the first expel
1iture would be re ckoned as due will
in the year from January l, 1876, IL
/ wit: January l, 1877, and annual
+ thereafter by the calendar year.

A Discovery of NIummies.

There has been q remarkable dis
covery of mummies at Deir-clBahari,
near Thebes. They are thirty-nine in
number, and twenty-six have been
identified. 1t is expected that little
further examination will reveal the
names and rank of the remaining thir.
teen. Those identified represent -four
dynasties, large proportion being
former Kings of the Eighteenth Dy-
Dynasty. 1t is expected that these
discoveries will throw food of light
upon Egyptian history, and upon
events and personages of which oul
principal knowledge is derived from
the Old Testament. The locality ir
which Herr Burgsch made his discov-
cry must have been kind of West
minister Abbey, as the mummies are
all identified as Kings and Queens ant
Noted historical characters. They are
in fact the cream of Egyptian royalty
preserved SO faithfully that after many
thousand years, their place in the his
tory of the time in which they live,
IS easily found. A eotemporary, com
menting on the Importance of the dis
covery, says: "In short there is hard
ly any question representing the grea
middle period of Egyptian history, in
Guiding the Captivity and the Exodus
of the Israelites, which may not re
ceive its answer through this amazing
discovery"

DEATH OF THE PRESIDENT

The President died at 1890 on the|
10Th. just before 10 o'clock the pulse|
was l0S, and everything promised al
quiet night. DR.. Bliss asked the Pres.
ident if he felt in any way uncomfort-|
able. He replied, mot at ALL" and
shortly afterward fell asleep. In about
fifteen minutes he awoke, complaining
of pain in tho region Of the heart and
in fifteen minutes passed into an uni
conscious and dying state. Mrs. Gar
field and the immediate attendants
were present during the closing scene
1t is supposed death ensued from al
clot OF blood forming and reaching the
heart. The Cabinet and Vice Presi-
dent Arthur were at once notified.
The news has been received through
out the country with deepest nantes
tations Of sorrow, tolling Of bells and
firing of minute guns and preparations
for general observations of mourning.
1t has been long struggle between
life and death, which the whole
world has watched With feelings OF
deepest concern and anxiety, such
as history has never before been
called on to record. The earnest
prayers that have been offered from
every part Of the nation, pleading
with such devoutness and depth OF
feeling for the Almighty TO spare the
life of the President, awaited nothing
as against the fixed laws OF nature
Death has won the victory, a noble
soul has gone to rest, and darl
cloud of sorrow hangs over the nation
more intense than when Presiden
Lincoln fell by the hand of an assas
sin. Not that the death of Presiden
Garfield was greater loss, but be
cause of his long and patient suffer
ings, and the many new hopes tina
sprang up in the national breast whe
favorable symptoms were reported, an
the dying out of those hopes when tn
symptoms were unfavorablc. Til
constant frightening and dimming {
the light of hope increased the grea
anxiety that was felt when the Pres
dent was striker down, and made tt
event of his death much sadder tha
if the bullet of the assassin had dor
its deadly work instantaneously as
the case Of President Lincoln. TT
nation has sustained deplorab
loss. The noble traits of character
President Garfield, and the valuab
services no has rendered his countl
will ever shine brightly on history
pages.

CAPITAL AND INCOME OF NATIoNs-A
recent number of Harper's Magazine contains
an estimate by Mrs. T. M. Coan of the wealth
of the United States in comparison with that
of other Governments. The United Kingdom
of Great Britain and Ireland heads the list
with a. capital of $44, 400, ,000 900, with an an
nual average income per inhabitant of Sl65.
France has the second place in point of CAP
ital, s36, 700, 100000, but is the fourth in the
matter Of average income, 1925. The capl.
ital of the United States is $32, ,000, ,000 600
the average income $165. Germany has
s22,0OO,0OO,O of capital, with. average i'll
come of 1857. The low countries have $ll,-
15O,000,0O0 capital, $3.50 of average income.
Russia has but $4,000, 100000 Of valuablea.
The annual accumulation of new wealth IL,
in the United Kingdom S325,000,000 ; in
France, 1915, 100000; in Germany, $780,
100000 in the United States, 1926, 900, 900.
In the last decade we have added more to our
wealth than the capital value of Italy or
Spain with their accumulated inheritances
of 1000 years. Every sun sets upon our pee.
pie better of by $2,3O0,000 than the day be-
fore. The contrast between England, for ex-
ample, and Italy calls attention to the impoi-
tant fact that but little of mans labor sur.
wives him. Without incessant reproduction
a people soon become poor. Food is the thing
least stored. 1t has been estimated: that
there is never more than one years supply on
hand, perhaps not so much. Only ideas and
certain works of art seem to be capable OF in
definite accumulation. ..
