A Bit of History Connected With tn
Battle of Bunker Hill.

A Bit of History Connected With the
Battle of Bunker Hill.
It has been a matter of some interest to
historians as to the exact date when the
remains of Major-General Joseph Warren,
killed so tragicalIy at the battle of Bunker
Hill, received their final interment. says
the Boston Journal.
1t has been disputed by some that Gen.
erai Warren had more than one burial.
There was some action taken by the sur
geons after the battle, and the fatal bullet
was extracted. Itwas stated that the body
was then hastily buried, but there has
come into the hands of the Journal,
through the family of Mrs. G. s. Coburn, a
most interesting relic of the Revolution, a
diary, still in good preservation.
1t is the record of DIR. Daniel Richardson,
assistant surgeon of Colonel Frye's regi-
ment, First Massachusetts Infantry, which
was at the battle of Bunker Hill, and after
ward in the siege of Boston. With his regi-
ment DR.. Richardson came into Boston
after the execution by the British, on the
18th of March, 1777, and it was after that
reoccupation that the event which he mar
rates took place and of which he was wit
ness. This is the doctors entry:
Monday. April s, 1777, the remains of
the lamented, Notable and celebrated Doc
tor Warren was this afternoon reburied in
a very decent and respectable manner. 1t
was attended by very large concourse of
people. A Considerable Number of armed
men, with three drums and fifers marched
before. Then great Number of Free Ma
sons walk before the Corps, which was fol-
lowed by the Relatives and Surgeons, and
then the Clergymen and other officers, both
Civil and military.
1.-THE Corps was first carried to the King s
Chapple, where was very large Auditory.
The Rev Mr.. Cooper first made a very fine
PRAYER over the Corps. Then Mr.. erez
Morton delivered an Grafton fully adapted
to the occasion. After the funeral they
fired great Number of guns.
1.-THE bearers were General Ward, Gen.
eral FRYE, DR.. Morgan, Colonel Gridley and
two of the Selectmen OF the town.
"April 5, 1777, Went with Mr.: Gilbert and
Howard over to the Ferry and visited the
Fort of Bunker Hill; went to Cambridge
and drank Bole of Punch at Bradishes
Tavern.
april II, 1777, I was awaked early in
the morning by the beating of drums. l
went with the Regiment to the Common to
see the soldier punishment put in execu-
tion. Ten of them were wheept in the
Common before our Regiment and Colonel
Pbinney's. Q of them received III stripes

on two receding blocks. The whole of the
design is constructed of white marble, and
on the upper block, from which the shaft
of the cross springs, is carved the following
inscription:
To the dear memory OF
Isabella Gethen Thackeray.

At the back of the cross are the words
"Domimus illuminate" and in the center
the letters "IHS."
From this inscription it appears that
both Mr. Leslie Stephen and Anthony
Trollope are wrong in giving the date OF
marriage as 1887.

A few weeks ago, when taking a walk

MILLIONS IN KING COUNTY
Many Mines That Will Yet Make Their
Owners Wealthy.

Owners Wealthy.
THE mines of King county and OF the
districts west OF the Cascades viii Yet
make many millonaires for Seattle" said
\. n. Hamilton yesterday. There are
already some magnificent prospects, and
development work that has been done
lately establishes the conclusion as in
eyitable that the mines of this part OF
the state viii yet prove sources Of un-
bounded wealth.
During the present season there has
been much done in the way of assess
ments and prospects. and in addition to
ore being shown 10 be rich, there have
been a great many discoveries. The
movement has been general, and small
army OF men has been busy in Silver
Creek. Monte Cristo. .SnoQualmie, Trout
Creek and the Sultan basin. In the Sill
yer creek mines the men have oeen do
ing development work, and some pro-
pose keeping busy all winter with the in
tention of shipping ore in the spring. The
Sultan Basin and Stillaguamish Mining
Company. owning the Little Chief mine.
reports that there is now 100000 of ore
in sight \ small force of men will be
kept busy all winter. and in the spring
fifty miners will he employed. At the
same time a spur from the Great North
ern railroad will be built into the mines,
twenty-three miles up the Sultan river
from Sultan City.
Recently both the Everett and Tacoma
smelters have taken copper-bearlng ore,
something they have never done before.
Copper in paying quantities is to he found
in many mines tributary to Seattle, and
there is no question that they viii soon

Allusion was here made to the fact that

MORE CASES OF SCARLET FEVER.
Contagfon Brought From Outside
(ounty Health Officer. Needea.

ffs.Itn OtuceF -Ntsdtd-
-Four new cases of scarlet fever and the
first case OF measles were reported yes
terday TO Health Officer Palmer. These
make total OF twenty cases OF scarlet
fever now under treatment in the city
in twelve separate households. Be
sides these there are SIX cases Just out
side the city limits. one of which IS very
malignant
The case of measles was Margery Ba-
con. at 124 Stewart street. The new cases
of scarlet fever were William X. john
SON and Hannah johnson, at nj Nc
Claire street, and Mary Noppke and Net
tie Wilson, at the corner OF McClaire
street and Yesler avenue. At I'll Nc
Claire street the family was already in
fected and the house under quarantine.
The other cases originated from contact
with cases brought in from outside the
city. Mrs. F'liebeck and her two chill
dren. who live near the county hospital,
had had the fever, and DR.. Palmer had
reported their cases to the board OF
county commissioners as beyond .his 1llr-
isdiction. Sunday the mother considered
herself ard her two children well enough
to come to the house at the corner OF Nc
Claire street and Yesler avenue, and con-
tagion resulted. Dr. Palmer has reported
the Fliebeck children again TO the board
OF county commissioners, which IS in
some doubt as TO its powers or Quaran-
tine. IAere are now SIX cases OF SCi4lel
fever outside the city limits, and the
board has done nothing more than put
up red flags and placard the houses. 1t
is probable that the prosecuting attor-
ney will be asked for an opinion as TO
the power of the commissioners TO act
as a board OF health.
In his report DR.. Palmer suggests the
appointment of a county health officer
He argues that such an officer is neces-
sary to inspect suspicious cases, enforce
quarantine when necessary and 10 de-
termine the period of quarantine, and
urges that other counties far weaker than
King, as for example Snohomish, have
such an officer. 1T is worse than use
less" said DR.. Palmer yesterday, for
the city TO spend the amount of money
IL is now spending, if children are allowed
TO come into the city, as they now are.
with the disease still in it's contagious
state" DIR. Palmer states that some of
the cases in the Van ASSET and South
Park neighborhoods are very malignant.
