and to avoid all that could disturb his
devotions or render him unclaan. The
most remarkable ceremony of the day
was the entrance OF the high priest into
the sanctuary where the ark containing
the tables of the law, or the ten COM
mandments, was kept, thing not ell
lowed on any other day of the year.
The high priest entered the sanctuary
four different times. The first time he
was provided with the golden censor
and vessel filled with incense. The
vessel was placed between the two poles
of the tabernacle and the incense upon
the Goals. This done, he went out back
ward, SO as not to turn his back upon
the sanctuary. At his second entrance
he took with him the blood of a bullock,
which he had sacrificed in expiration of
his own sins and those of the other
priests, placed himself between the
poles of the tabernacle, dipped his fin
ger in the blood and sprinkled 1t seven
times below and once above the mercy
seat, or cover of the ark, on which were
placed the cherubim.
The third time he entered with the
blood of ram, which he had offered
for the sins of the nation. With this he
sprinkled the veil of the tabernacle
eight times, and having mixed 1t with
the blood Of the bullock he sprinkled it
| toward the brass and gold covered
wooden horns of the altar of incense
seven times and once above it, toward
| the east, after which he poured out the
whole on the floor of the sanctuary
| taking with him the basins which had
contained the blood. The fourth time
he entered merely to remove the censor
| and vessel of incense.
| Another of the peculiar sacrifices of
the day was the selection of two goats,
| both to be alike in stature, color and
age, one of which was to be sacrificed
| to jehovah and the other to be sent to
| the desert burdened with the sins of the
people and set at liberty. Lots were
drawn to determine which of the goats
should be killed. The scapegoat was
lcalled Azazel meaning removed or sent
loft goat The remainder of the day was
spent in prayers and other works of
penance. Among the present orthodox
Jews, for the scapegoat of old, chickens
are substituted which they call Chap
ora.

'G[N. CURTIS pleased
Government Inspector Finds Inn
proved Conditions at the Iowa
Soldiers Home.
Why These Inspections, and How
the Soldiers Home Differs From
Other State Institutions.
Government Would Withdraw Per
Capita Support if Matters We're
Not as They Should Be.

Gen. NJ. M. Curtis, government in
spector Of soldiers homes, concluded his
work at the Iowa institution Wednes-
day night and departed for the east.
His next inspection will be of the home
at Sandusky, ..
To a T.R. representative who called
upon Gen. Curtis before his departure
he said this was well-managed home
and he found affairs at the MARSHALL
town institution improved since his last
inspection. He says there is COM
mendable effort on the part of all the
officials to better matters all around.
Gen. Curtis inspected the hospital and
all other departments and was well sat
listed with the systematic conduct Of
each.
Gen. Curtis will make no recommend
iations to the board of control. 1t is not
in the line of his duty to do so, as he
is delegated by the government to de-
termine whether or not the members of
the institution come under the require
ments of congress and whether they are
properly cared for. This is because the
United States government contributes
largely to the support of state soldiers
homes. While the cost of maintenance
of the members of the Iowa Home is
about s140 per year per capita, the gov
eminent furnishes 500 of this amount.
These inspections, therefore are for the
purpose of determining whether the
state is making proper expenditure of
the funds and is caring for its veteran
soldiers in the manner to which they
are entitled, according to the govern
ment view. If the Inspector finds one
or more not properly clothed, fed or
housed, he at once cuts off the govern
ment allowance.
1t will thus be seen that the Soldiers
Home is on an entirely different basis
lfrom any other state institution, in the
respect that the standard of condition
| is established by the federal govern
ment, while the others are conducted ir
such way that none but the humani-
tarians can quarrel about their admin
listrative methods. This is a point moi
generally understood by the people Of
1.-THE state.
Gen. Curtis is very thorough in hi!
work, and there is not an essential fea
ture of the management of the soldiers
homes that he does not inquire into ant

s|mandant's Office down to the laundry.

THE 1DYLLw1LDE CLUB.

A Comfortable Home on the Iowa
Ready for Occupancy.
The home of the Idyllwilde Club,
which has been under course of con-
struction during the past few weeks, is
ready now for occupancy and will soon
be taken possession of by the members.
The home, or more properly termed
shack" is located about one-half mile
beyond the Soldiers Home on the Iowa
river, and u more beautiful spot could
hardly have been selected. The sur
rounding scenery is beautiful, especially
in the spring and fall seasons, and will
make an ideal place in which to spend
the idle hours. Unlike most places of
recreation and pleasure, the shack is
fitted up comfortably, with all the con-
veniences possible. cupboards have
been built for storing away the kitchen
utensils, wood heater and gasoline
stove have both been placed in conyeni-
ent places, and everything is furnished
with q view toward comfort and pleas
ure. The attic will be used to store the
many superfluous bits of furnishings
that are wanted only in times when
long stays are to be made at the cot
tage, and is fitted up with apartments
also for fishing tackle, gun racks and
ammunition boxes. The members ex
pect to use the cottage in all times of
the year. In the spring and fall it will
be haunt for the gentlemen who en-
Joy days cutting with gun, and as it
is within easy reach of Goose Pond, the
members will sleep there nights and be
ready for an early trip to the pond in
quest of ducks and geese. Fishing par
ties will also be in vogue in season. and
in the winter the cottage will be CAPT.
tai place to seek while skating.
The shack is located, during high
water days, on an island, although at
present no water runs in the old bed of
the river, to one side of the cottage. The
building. complete. cost about 5000. and
the anticipations of pleasures already
have been deemed worth the money ex-
pended. Mr.. NJ. s. Mcfarland has been
elected secretary and treasurer Of the
club. and owing to its proximity to the
Home, board Of control has been
named composed of Messrs. w. c.
Rodgers chairman; S. w. Griffith and
Arthur Wall. The members of the club
are Messrs. and Mesdames F. p. Lierle,
f. G. Pierce, Fred Clark. Charles r.

sentative of eastern capitalists is ne
gotiating for the bonding and pur-
chase of fifty claims. Owners of claims
are not in the least disturbed By the
attempt of certain knockers to dis
credit the existence of the mineral in
the claims. as their motive is well
known and the metal cannot be ex-
tracted from their Lodges by the sim
pie denial Of its existence by these
parties.
The Grand Canyon copper mine, re-
Gently sold by W. B. Ridenour to w.
II. Ferguson, is a bonanza, says the
Mohave Miner. The recent work on the
property has exposed an immarse body
of ore that is daily widening and ex-
tending the mineral bearing zone be-
yond and under the sandstone cap. The
surrounding formation at this mine is
the most peculiar of any in the United
States, or probably in the world, the
great mass of copper bearing limestone
having apparently been forced up
through 800 to 1000 feet of sandstone.
Erosion of the sandstone in the semi
circular basin had exposed the copper
bearing strata twenty years ago, when
Mr. Ridenour stumbled onto the spot.
In it the geclogist and mineralogist
will find much to ponder over.

sure that the good people of this city
and those of Kingman appreciate his
presence in this section.
One train makes a round trip from
Kingman each day, and a great
amount of freight and express is car
ried. The passenger traffic is heavy,
and by this source q very neat little
business is transacted. The train is
manned by a crew of skilled railroad
men who are well and favorabIy known
among the boys all along the line.
They are Engineer w. Fenwick, an old
veteran of the Santa Fe system, and
George Smith, his fireman; Thomas
Carey, conductor, and F. Is. Bail, the
brakeman.
Chloride is only at the southern ter
minus of the great mineral belt. and in
all probability this line of railroad will
finally be extended northward and find
a connecting point on the Union Pa
cilic. The mining in the White Hills
country north of here is being pushed
as rapidly as possible with a limited
amount of funds, and all that is lack
ing in that region is capital to open up
the hidden wealth which lies buried in
this same range OF mountains near
Chloride.

JEROME DISTRICT
The Weekly Review of Mining MAJ
tiers in That Section.

During the past week development
work on all the properties in the Je-
rome district has continued without in
terruption and generally with encour-
aging results, says the Jerome News.
At the properties OF the Black Hills
Copper company, both the upper and
lower inclineS are looking much better.
IN the upper tunnel superintendent T.
II. Brown informs the News they have
encountered body of ore which is
much richer than any yet taken from
their claims. Two hoists are on the
way to Jerome for this company ana
will be placed in position as soon as
they arrive. One of the HOSTS will be
at work next week. a substantial bunk
house which will accommodate forty
men and large boarding house has
been completed and the workmen are
we'll housed fer the winter.
At the property Of the United Verde
Junior work in the upper and lower
tunnels has been stopped and an in
cline started on the mammoth ledge,
which is being worked by the Black
Hills company and which crosses the
United Verde Junior property. This
is another illustration of the estimate
which mining men put on the ledge
which is being developed by the Black
Hills company.
At the News mine work is being
pushed forward by as many men as
can be worked to advantage. As depth
is attained in this property the bodies
of ore are larger and richer.
The Decatur company is still sinking
but preparations are being made to
drift into the hill 20 cut a ledge which
has been prospected on top and which
has shown rich values in mineral
At the works of the United Verde
Extension work continues under cor
tract in six different places and some
ore is being encountered in all the
workings.
The Columbia Mining company in
their workings near the head Of Mescal
gulch are still working in ore. 1t is the
opinion of all who have seen this prop
erty that there will be a mine opened
up on the property.
On Equator Hill development work is
being advanced as fast as possible in
the Iron King and Copper Chief. Some
samples of very rich ore are being
brought in from the Copper Chief mine.
f. Z. Brooks of Colorado, who is haav
lily interested in this property, is at
the mine.
The United Verde Copper company
have water running this side of Mescab
gulch from the Allen spring, and will
have it connected with the smelter
about the goth of this month. This
new supply viii increase the flow into
the smelter about 60 per cent, and will
lay at rest all fear of a water famine
in the future.

Leadville has put many a shaft down
through barren rock by men whose
financial ruin would have followed a
failure to discover the contact
The contact has been discovered at
Breckenridge. The existence of a
blanket similar to the Leadville forma-
ton has long been suspected by the
shrewd mining men who could not 9TH
erwise account for the enormous rich
ness of the placer deposits of the Blue
and Swan river valleys The pockety
deposits of the Breckenridge district
did not account for the coarse gold
which at times was taken from the
river beds.
The sash veins which produced ore of
wonderful richness for a time and then
bottomed could not be accounted for by
any other theory than, that the great
placer gold deposits must have eroded
from the same large deposit from
which these cash veins has been sup
piled. The year 1893 has demonstrated
the blanket formation. 1t has made

and proper appliances. intelligence
Will not enable anyone to work a sixty
foot deposit with long tom or a rocker.
The first pam of dirt taken from a
three foot hole yielded thirteen cents;
the second, twenty-seven cents; this
was just below the present location of
Breckenridge, during August, 1859.
Since that time the placers Of Summit
county have continued to yield large
returns but until the last few years
work has been mostly confined to work
with rockers and sluices which on ac-
count of the lack CT grade could not
accomplish a very large amount of
work. During the year 1897 the North
American Gold Dredging company I'M
der the management of B. Stanley Re
vett began the construction of two
large dredge boats of the New Zealand
type to operate its property, which
consists of over seven miles along the
bed of the Swan river. These dredges
were put in operation during the sea-
son of 1898 and their success justified
the erection of two additional dredge
boats which have been constructed
during the present year.
The placers of the Breckenridge dis
trict have produced in the past over
thirty million dollars and it is safe to
say that only q very small portion of
their total wealth has been extracted.
The present plans anticipate a thor
ough working OF the entire deposit and
it may reasonably be expected that the
placer deposits of the Breckenridge
viii add very largely to the gold pro-
duction OF Colorado for many years to
come.
