The Thirteenth.

Several inquiries have been received
in Minneapolis relative to the muster
out of the 18th Minnesota regiment.
There seems to be an idea prevalent
that Minnesota boys will lose from SIS
to 500 each if they come home before
receiving their final statements from
the army accounting officers. It has
been pointed out that muster-out on
the Pacific coast would mean about $73
in cash to each private, and that he
would receive this money and be free
to return to Minnesota or go else
where, as he chose. It is not believed
that regiment so closely identified
with the state, that has made such
gallant record and maintained the
reputation established by the old First
Minnesota at Gettysburg, will vote to
be mustered out within 1900 miles of
home, after coming 10000 miles on the
way; nevertheless, it might be we'll for
the Minnesota folks to cable the boys
word of caution in this regard, for
the policy of the department passeth
all understanding.

IN OLD HIGHLAND CITY
Snowfall Ipsures Plenty of Placer
Water.
SOME GOOD PROSPECTS
Years Ago the Camp Was The Banner
Gold Producer of the Northwest.
The Treasure State Is Not
Played Out Yet.

John Kern and William Edwards are
in the city from old Highland City.
They came as far as Limo KIN on snow
shoes and report an unusually heavy
fall of snow last winter. There will be
plenty of placer water until late in the
season.
Kern and Bernard McHHgh have been
drifting on Murphy's sag. dry gulch
just below the ancient toWnSjte, and re-
port very good gravel. Kern has lived
in Highland for more than so years;
in fact. he is the only remaining real
simon pure pioneer of the famous camp.
He has seen the biggest clran-ups and
the smallest ones made in the gulch and
has in former years participated IN
some very big clean-ups. His faith in
the durability of the gulch is unbound
ed and he never despairs in his efforts
to strike t again"
Highland was years ago the banner
gold producer of the Northwest. Most
of the gold was taken out by means
of shafts and drifts, yet much has been
washed by the Sluice and hydraulic
methods. specially in Coulce gulch and
further down Highland from the Leg
+ gat diggings. Mr. Kerns faith is cen
tered in the ground upon which the
old town was built and Of which today
but a few traces of former habitation
exist. His present working shaft is but
few feet from his cabin.

years. however, Highland has been
