The editor of an exchange has
discovered that there is wide
difference between the school
books of the present and those of
long ago. He says that when he
first went to school he read his
lessons in the first reader some
thing like this ''See the COW.
Is not the cow nice ? Can the
COW run Yes, the cow can run.
Can the COW run as fast as the
horse ?" But the latest up-to-
date style of reading it by the
average kid is as follows : "Git
on to the COW. Hain't she a
beaut /? Sure, she's a corker.
Can the cow get a move on her
self ? You bet she can get a
move on herself. Can she hump
it like de boss I? Nit, she amt
in it wild de hoss."
One of the biggest mining
deals ever effected in Lemhi
county was consummated this
week, when David McNutt sold
his Moose creek placer mine TO
Herman ]. Reiling, representing
a company of Chicago capitalists.
The consideration was $3.50, 600.
That this mine is very valuable
no one doubts for moment. Mr..
McNutt has become independ-
emily wealthy from its proceeds,
and worked upon comparativ-
ely limited scale at that. 1t is
the intention of Mr.. Reiling: who
is a practical mining man. to put
dredgers upon the ground for
the working of the gravel, and
it is confidently believed that the
returns will be very rich. Mr..
Reiling was the first to introduce
and successfully operate the
dredger in Madison county, Mon
tana, and is therefore no novice
at the work. He left yesterday
morning for Chicago to arrange
the details with his company for
the coming seasons operations.
