rams. Of Richmond. has been hurting

state Superintendent Of Public lnstruc
tlon. and ordering Governor OFerr3,Il
10 remove him. His offences seem 20 ne
that he permits a northern history or
the United states to be used In the
schools. and that he employs some north
ern teachers. who teach history in "a
manner unacceptable 10 Lee Camp. sons
Of Confederate Veterans. No doubt Mr.:
Massey has erred grievously II ne dld
as charged hut sentence ought 10 be sus-
pended Until Lee Camp. Sons ~ Con-
federatc Veterans. prepares a history OF
the United states. II will he lmposslpie
for any teacher Of American history 10
know the exact facts Of that history. Lee
Camp should not waste us energies In
criticising Mr.. Massey. II should devoje
them to fine composition Of an absolutely
authoritative work When that master
piece is finished Mr.. Massey will be ready
10 apologize FOR his errors. and tho
northern teachers will sec the truth and
make due rec1ntation.-New York sun.

Minnesota has also struck II rich In the
Randolph Mine on the Seine River near
Rainy Lake City. Gold nuggets have
been picked up In great quantities. and II
f. said that the mine Is one OF the rich
est In the world and worth a million dol
lars.
A telegram from San Francisco says
that news has reached that place from
Juneau. that the richest diggings in
Alaska are not on the Klondike. The new
fields are about three hundred miles from
Dawson City In an air line in the vicinity
Of the Hootallnqua river. One man who
has returned from those diggings says
that eleven pounds OF nuggets were pick
ed up without trouble, and that Indians
are reported to have taken out from 500
TO 500 a day in gold.
Another telegram from San Francisco
says that one Of the richest pockets ever
found in California was taken out Of the
Mascot Mines, near Sonora, last week.
From reliable information, says this tele-
gram it il safe to say that the pocket
will approximate $4,000.
A telegram from sedalia. Mo, says that
a citizen Of that place has left with an ex-
pert mining engineer to investigate mining
property in Mexico. and that n advance
reports are corroborated. the Klondke
country will have TO divide honors with
Mexico. Those who have seen the tnines
say that scale and nugget gold are found
IN marvellous quantities, while the quartz
rock in the upper lodges will assay from
$50 10 $500 a ton.
These reports, OF course, are to be taken
with a grain Of salt for every grain OF
gold. but there is no sort OF doubt that
tho output OF gold this year from the
various sections indicated will BE i'm
mense and will add millions to the co0n-
try's wealth. All OF which simply en-
phasizes the fact that prosperity is re-
turning by leaps and bounds, and that
this country is on the eve Of a great bus
mess and Industrial revival.

lowing paragraph
when there rs a vacancy to be filed

ton must be made. 10 is not required
that the highest name be selected Only

This is signed by John Finders. Jr. as
