A. D. Dorm has purchased the
Golden Rule placer claim on Sal
mon river. This is one of the
claims on Salmon river in which
coarse gold has been found in pay
ing quantities-it being rich
enough to pay to work with a
rocker. The gold is high grade,
being worth from S18 to $40 per
ounce, and judging from it's APP
pearance is a local deposit. One
piece found last spring on the bar,
is Of the value Of 500, which has
some quartz attached. Mr.. Fock-
Ter of Freedom is now the owner
Of this nugget. The general size
of the gold is pieces from 50 to SO.
While enlarging the tunnel, which
has been started on the property,
in order to use it for working
tunnel, the boys washed some Of
the gravel, taking therefrom $50
in nuggets, the largest weighing a
little over SO, the others varying
in value from 81 up. Mr.. Dorm is
now busy preparing to work all
winter. The pay gravel will have
to be drifted and washed in. a
rocker as there is no water that
can be gotten on the bar cheaply.

fare of our town that anything
which tends to even retard the
successful harvesting of their crops
is bound to leave its impression
upon merchants and private indi-
viduals alike. The recent heavy
rains, resulting in severe loss Of
crops all over the prairie, have had
their effect in discouraging all
hands all along the line. The
crop was heavy beyond precedent
in yield and quality and the price
at Lewiston, 10 cents, was suffi-
cient inducement to haul to that
market and thus put in the pock-
cts of our people the ready cash
with which to pay debts and taxes
and promote prosperity in local
affairs. The damage done by the
rain has in too many instances

BIBLE MANUSCRIPTS.
Discoveries of Ancient Writings During
Recent Years.

Discoveries of Ancient Writings During
Recent Years.
The oldest manuscripts of the Bible
are not those of the Old Testament, but
Of the New. The earliest New Testa-
ment text dates from the fourth CEN
tury, whereas those of the Old Tesla
ment are not older than the ninth GEN.
truly.
Thus the oldest extant manuscripts
of the Hebrew Old Testament are 500
years later than the earliest manu-
scripts of the Greek New Testament.
One eminent modern writer declares
that all the existing Hebrew manu-
scripts of the Old Testament descend
from a single copy made in the reign of
Hadrian CA. D. 102-117), at the time of
the great persecution of the Jews by
that emperor.
Some memorials of the greatest value,
completely revolutionizing all pre-
vious knowledge of the conditions I'M
der which written documents were pre-
pared in remote ages, have been dis
covered within the last decade or SO by
the interest accident. OF such nature
was the discovery of the Tel-el-Armana
tablets, nine years ago.
These were found by an Egyptian
woman in 1888: among the ruins of an
ancient temple, between Memphis and
Thebes. They are of clay and contain
the engraved correspondence in the
Babylonian tongue (thc language of d.
plomacy at that age) between King
Amenophia ~. of Egypt and his vassaI
princes in Palestine. The tablets be-
long to the age of the Book of Joshua,
and in part relate to the events recorder
therein. 1t is quite probable that the
original editions of the earliest books
of the Old Testament were written on
clay tablets similar to these.
The history of the text of the New
Testament has its romantic incidents
as well as that of the Old. The story
of Tischendorf's discovery of the Codex
Sinaiticus is one of these. Fifty-one
years ago, in the course of his travels
in the cast, Tischendorf put up for the
night in the monastery of ST. Catherine,
Mt Mount Sinai.
While taking look through the Ii
uC HOtIScu waste paper basket
containing leaves of the most ancient
Greek writing he had ever seen. They
were part of the no, priceless Greek
Bible. This Bible is, In. fortunately, not
perfect, because man. of the leaves,
| before Tischendorf discovered it, had
been used b. the monks of st. Catherine
| to light the fire.
After great trouble and expense
Tischendorf discovered the whole of the
unconsumed portions of this important
document, which frequently containf
the New Testament intact As soon
the monks found out that it was valu;.-
BILE they raised such disturbance that
the car of Russia had to interfere be-
fore the precious document could be
secured. 1t is now in the imperial Ii
brary of st. Petersburg.
An earlier Syriac manuscript was dis
covered in the monastery by two women
travellers couple of years ago.-N. Y.
