college, he having accepted q lifelong
position as one OF the secretaries of the
Board OF Home Missions of the Presbyte-

Is still in a position where lie a give II

ness is ssured. Several nave already ar
rived to remain in attendance and many

The shaft yesterday afternoon was

mediately be made a sixty stamp and a
railroad will at once be built from Deer
Lodge to the Gro Elmo, and prosperity
will be ours.
