Rev. S. ]. Jennings of Nampa has
been appointed archdeacon of the

news is very gratifying to his num-
erous friends in this section. He is,
we believe, true christian gentle
man and an able expounder of the
gospel, and, to quote the language
of the Nampa Leader, Mr.. Jennings
has been very faithful worker un-
der difficulties, as the diocese was
without a bishop for some time, and
it is a pleasure for both himself and
friends that he now has special and
definite work to which to devote his
energies.

renewed interest in mining and are
hungry for mining news. There
fore we ask the mining men of Ell
more and others who have reliable
news to send it to the BULLETIN fo
publication and thereby help US il
making known to the outside worlC
the great mineral resources of on
county.
