Foundation.

Recent discoveries of mineral in some
of the claims of the West Fisher dis
trict, in the northwestern part of the
state, has caused something of a stir in
that section. According to statement
made by e. J. Merlin to the Spokane
Chronicle. the place is having a boom.
Mr.. Merlin said:
The West Fisher district is booming,
1 have just returned from there. The
first strike was made in West Fisher
about eight years ago. but it was not
until two years ago that the first 10
stamp mill was put in on the Brick &
Branagan property. Last year it is es-
timated that the company took out about
$4,000 over and above all expenses This
year the company is adding 10 more
stamps. This proposition already has
enough ore in sight to keep 20 stamps
going for two or three years. The ore
IN the mine averages SO or $12 a ton
The American Kootenai company put
in 10-stamD mill about a year ago, but
did not get 1t into running shape until
until this spring. The Mother Lode
company owned by the same parties, will
put in 10-stamp mill this year. The
Blacktall company a Kalispell corpora

on it's property. Besides these, there are
number of companies which will prob
ably put in mills this year. Among
that number are the West Fisher COM

The Cash Offered, But Rejected.

Patrick Clark returned yesterday from
a trip to New York, says the Spokane
Chronicle. He made the journey in con-
nectlon with the suit which he has
brought against the Empire State-Ida-
no company, to recover the Ella and
Missing Link fractions at Burke. Ida
no. While away he formally offered the
officers Of the company cash sum
equal to the amount which had been paid
by 1t for the claims. The offer was re-
jected and the company refused to deed
back the property to Mr.. Clark and his
associates. The million dollar suit
against the company, which has been
commenced by Mr.. Clark and his asso-
ciates, is the result of that refusal.

PARSIPPANY
M. E. CHURCH
A History Of the Society for
Many Years.

Rev. III. M. TempIin is the Author
and the Book VIII Prove of In
terest to Parsippany Methodists
Some Extracts From Its Pages.
A history of the Parsippany Metho-
dist Episcopal church has just been pub
lished at the Chronicle job rooms, and
the Rev. H. M. Templin, the author,
and pastor of the church has kindly per-
mitted us to make some extracts from
its pages as follows:
The name Parsippany is of Indian
origin. 1t was originally spelled Par
sippanong. 1t is one of those names
still clinging here and there which
speak of the chase, the war-whoop, and
the scalping knife. The history of the
churches of Parsippany carries us back
to the year 1856, when the first Presby-
terian Church was built. 1t was q
frame structure and stood within the
present bounds of the cemetery. In
1928 it was removed, and the present
Brick Church" was built. Later
"Second Presbyterian" church was built
on the lower corner of the grounds now

giant, he became frequently terror
to evil doers, who sought to disturb his
meetings From 1922 to '27, from '33
to 81, and from 81 to 40 he was Pre-
siding Elder of the district in which
Parsippany was included. A still earl
ier Presiding Elder was John McClas-
key, a native of Ireland.
The records for several years are very
meagre. 1t is believed that the connec-
ton with Elizabeth circuit was retained
for some time, but that from 1880 to
1884 Parsippany was part of the Nor
ristown circuit.
During all this time the people wor-
shipped in private houses, groves and
school houses, but in June, 1880, tract
of land was decided by Lemuel Cobb
and his wife, Elizabeth Cobb, to the
trustees of the Methodist Episcopal
Church at Parsippany, for the erection
of a house of worship.
AS soon as it was enclosed and covered
it was seated with slabs, dedicated and
occupied for worship. 1t was not COM
pleted, furnished and rededicated until
1913. One side of the church was re-
served for women, the other for men.
This arrangement sometimes led to
amusing scenes. A gentl eman once at
tended the service accompanied by two
ladies, and sat with them on the
'women's side" He was informed of
his mistake by an official member, and
made>this reply: "These two ladies are

under my care; if you remain here as
their protector | will go to the oher
side" He was allowed to remain with
the ladies.
In 1885 Parsippany, Whippany. Pine
brook, Fairfield, and some other points
were united into circuit called Par
sippany circuit and Francis Morrell and
Benjamin Day were appointed pastors.
The latter was the second of the famous
Day brothers of New Providence, N. j.,
of whom six out of the family of seven
boys entered the Methodist ministry.
Benjamin Day served in the General
Conference of 1860. For the two years
following, Robert Luton was pastor,
with John S. Beegle assistant. We can
not forbear word concerning the vari-
ed and interesting career of this Irish
American preacher, Robert Luton. In
his youth he was a scoffer. Leaving
home to become British seaman, he
was stricken with yellow fever in the
West Indias. Cared for by devout
colored woman, he resolved that if he
was permitted to recover and return
home he would reform. Arriving in
Ireland he attempted to carry out his
resolve, and began reading religious

of Benjamin Mum, about the beginning
of the past century. Benjamin Mum
lived at or near where the old County
House" now stands. He must have
been a Methodist, for his name appears
in the list of official members of a
Quarterly Conference which met at
Turkey" now New Providence, on
Dec 10, 1914. 1t is possible that earlier
it was part of Elizabeth circuit which,
in 1901, comprised Staten Island, Rah,
way, Bellville, New Prospect, Stony
Brook, Rockaway Valley, Chatham and
Whippany. Joseph Totem was preach
er. In 1906 David Bartine and William
