Last week, in the Silver King prop
erty, forty five miles northwest from
Phoebe there was uncovered az ore
body nine feet in width that proves
to be the richest find ever known
in that part OF the State, and
one of the richest ever known
in the country. The find was
made in running Il crosscut 1t first
opened out on top OF an apex like the
letter A. and at the distance of eight
feet widened to nine feet The ore
looked like black sulphurets, but it
was in such large quantities that it
was not thought possible it could be
such A sample of the ore showed
returns of l6, $40 ounces Of silver to

soon as the news become current a

About 100 pounds Of the ore is on eX-

SYNOD ASKED TO CONTROL
APPOINTMENT OF PASTORS

At the meeting of the Augustana
synod to be held in Ishpeming, Mich,
next month one important matter &"
he disposed Of is a proposition that
the synod control the appointment of
pastors. 1t is stated that at present
the young men are in so great de-
;0and among the churches that the
older men and men of larger and
more valuable experience are being
left N;thout appointments.
For long time in the synod it has
been seen that some of the able and
experienced ministers have found it
Somcv hat difficult to obtain proper
fields i'm which To work. Congrega-
lions have been disinciined to acccp:
the cd ministers and call for the
young and inexperienced men. As a
result good and faithful workers are
eft without permanent employment.
AZ n result some of the congregations
are suffering. 1t is not likely that
any measure providing for super
vision by the synod will he adopted.
The Augustana Journal says:
''On the whole there is not any
thing new in this. Usually tie
y dAN al
rs particularly true of the financial
world. Many are the complaints
over this state of affairs, but il seems
almost impossible to find an adequate
remedy for il. AMI it is not prob
able that the proposal now before the
synod will find enough favor to carry.
The Iowa conference. we believe, has
petitioned the synod to vote the
measure down. individual congrcga-
tons have also taken the question
;'p and gone on record as being
ycuarely opposed to it This being
the Ease, there is not much hope for
us ultimate acceptance. Blu. the
delegates ought nevertheless to give
the subject their most careful cen
%idcI alton. This is their duty and

May II has been appointed by the

to the entrance of Chippiannock GEM
etery, the highway between these
points being almost impossible in

The date was agreed upon at Il
meeting held yesterday at the home
of Mrs. Ben Il. Cable. The plan is to
have stands in charge of the ladies on
prominent corners and in the main
buildings of the city during the day,
so that everyone will have opportun-
ity in passing to give from his or her
purse in behalf of this most worthy
cause in which the good women have
enlisted their efforts. Those appoint
