DR.. IRA A. PRIEST,
AND BUCHTEL COLLEGE.

"The hospitality and cordiality of
Akron people is what impressed me
most the first week l was in this city,
said Rev. DR.. Ira A. Priest, President
of Buchtel College, to a Democrat re-
preventative. "The impression has
gained upon me since that time and l
love Akron as though l had lived here
many years. At first l missed some
of the peculiarly eastern customs,
but | soon found myself so deep in
work. and so many pleasant things
came to take the place Of those which
I missed that soon forgot them"
DR.. Priest sat stroking his little
daughters hair as she leaned upon
his knee at the pleasant home of the
college president. My work has been
pleasant here, but l have had little
time for anything aside from it. l
have done some lecturing and that is
almost all. But we see happy times
ahead. The new college buildings will
soon be in use, we have class of ii
graduates this. year, now busy with
their theses, and an enrolment Of over
100 in the Preparatory department.
Next years outlook seems very en-.
couraging."
1t was in October 1896 that DR.
Priest came to Akron from Newton

the fall of that year he entered Tufts

SUMPTER IS ALL RIGHT
Crptain Anderson Gives US a
Great "Swell."

The Justice Gold Mining company, of
this city, Of which Captain A. W. An
derson IL president, and W. Y. l.. Ruth
erford, secretary, has just purchased an
extension Of the Justice property, locat-
cd in the Sumpter, Ore, mining dis
trict. The extension-known as the
Rambler, lis direct continuation Of
the Justice ledge, the formation and
character Of ore being idcntically the
same. Both are rich free milling
quartz. The Rambler already has a
good camp established, such as cabins,
blacksmith shop, etc. The one property
practically supplements the other, inas-
much as the Rambler possesses fine
body Of timber far cxcclling that on the
Justice. The possession ofthc Rambler,
which il below the Justice, makes the
latter much easier Of access and gives a
greater depth for tunncling purposes.
Captain Anderson il just in receipt of
n letter from the foreman ut the Justice
mine, Mr.. Edward Butte, from which
the following excerpt il taken:
"Thcrc il no doubt but that the Ram
bier is an extension Of the Justice ledge
have sampled the Rambler, NJ it
crops in two places, and il is idcntcally
the same rock as the Justice, which you
will see by the samples ! send YOU"
When Captain Anderson was seen by
a reporter on the the Mining Record, ut
his office in the Safe Deposit building to-
day, he said, in speaking of the Sump-
ter district:
Everything in the Sumptcr district
looks vc,y promising. The pcrmanency
Of the lcdgcs has been amply demon
stratcd by the scores Of producing and
dividend paying mines, all Of which
have sprung into existence within the
last four years. One of the best evil
dcnccs Of the country's merits as u min
ing center il the City Of Sumpter itself.
The place is scarcely three years old and
yet IL numbers about 1000 inhabitants
and is complete in public works and In
every branch Of mercantile business.
They have fine system Of water works
and electric lighting. There are two
banks, two live newspapers, churches,
graded schools, fine hotels, etc. A brick
hotel to cover half block IL now under
process Of completion. II is one Of the
clcanest and best situated places I hav"
seen in the West. Nowhere, except In a
rich mining district, could city of the
size and importance Of Sumpter spring
into existence in ~ short u time.
"As regards the people themselves,
they are energetic, wide awake, and
public spirited. ! never met u more
congenial, ,hospitable class Of people in
all my travels through the West.
"Sumpter must certainly possess
great merit as mining camp to be able
to attract 40 many Seattle men and No
much Seattle money from our own rich
mining section here Mt home. Seattle
