Veteran Newspaper Man Tells Of His
Attest Trip

Mountains of Rapid River, Idaho
July IS, 1903-We arrived in camp
three days ago and have had more
luck of the kind than or my partners
ever had before AS | told you before
this is a sulphuret country no free
gold yet, but the sulphurets carry
good values as a rule, but whether
ours will or not is yet to be determn-
ed Three days ago We struck right
onto it. All three went out to find
a good place to start development OF
the ledge we found last fall, and we
/ each got there with both feet, and Sc
lecting the best locality for tunnel or
otherwise went to work with a will.
From getting mere showing OF
sulphurets it kept getting better until
the face of our hole the last day and
a half looks like a jewelers. store, it
is so glittering. The deeper We get
down and the further into the hill We
go the sulphuret bearing ore is so
plentiful that it is fully three-fourths
pure mineral
| If 1t were only gold? Wouldn't we
splurge? My idea of it is that it is
an indication of something better
ahead or below, but if these sulphurets
| go $40 per ton we have the world by
| the neck. But as the fellow said IN
| the novel, let us not anticipate.
The formation is the only one OF the
sort | ever come across, being mica
schist and the mineral runs through
it. There are Streaks of quartz run
ming through it and there is big
blowout of quartz ahead of us.

| The companies about three miles
from us are making all kinds of money
working their ore by the cyanide pro
cess and one company is making nitric
acid out of the atmosphere by cleo

phurets badly. If that is the case we
can just quarry them out for deal

ATHENS NEWS NOTES.
Visit of MIR. Peabody Looked For
ward tO-University Items.


ward tO-University Items.
Athens. Ca. Oct. 1S-The faculty
and students of the University of Geor-,
gia are looking forward with interest
to visit of Mr.. George Foster Pea
body of New York, the generous donor
of the $4,000 library building that
is going up on the university campus.
Mr.. Peabody is coming to Georgia
next month to be present at the dedi-
cation of the new Y. M. C. A. building
in the city of Columbus, where he was
born, and he will be accompanied on
his trip by DR.. Charles Cuthbert Hall,
president of the Union Theological
Seminary of New York, who is to make
the address at the dedication exercises.
Mr.. Peabody and DR.. Hall will stop
here on Nov. 81 and DIR. Hall will make
an address to the students of the uni
versity.
The literary societies of the university,
although dissatisfied with the change
of holiday from Saturday to Wednes-
day and Saturday afternoons, thus
forcing them to meet Wednesday
nights, will not press their request
for change back to the old plan, be-
cause such a change in the middle of
the session would cause great confu
sion in the schedule of Rotations
which would also have to be changed
entirely to suit the new holiday ar
rangements. Next June, however, the
societies will ask the trustees to change
back to the old plan of having Satur-
day as a full holiday.
The literary societies will ask the
trustees to change the plan of giving
six $40 medals to the best debaters in
the three under classes, so as to make
the prizes six $40 cash prizes, the other
$50 to go to the aid of the Georgian,
the university magazine that is now
published under the auspices of the
two societies.
The college Y. M. C. A. is enjoying
prosperity this year and has a larger
membership than usual. The officers
of the Y. NJ. c. A. have arranged
series of lectures for the Friday night
meetings on the subject of 1.-THE He
roes of the Moral Life" The lectures
will be delivered by citizens, members
of the. faculty and students.
The old dormitory building on the
campus, 102 years old, the Oldest build
ing in the city of Athens. which was
thought a few days since to be very
dangerous, has been repaired and the
boys are again living in it. The re-
pairs consisted in running iron bars
through the walls and clamping them
on the exterior of the building.
Several new members of the agricul-
tural department of the University of
Georgia have registered and the at
tendance upon that department of the
university is the largest in it's history.
The State Normal School, although
the largest educational institution in
the state, has never had college bell.
Recently an order was placed for
large bell and as soon as a belfry can
be built on the top of the auditorium
building the bell will be placed in po-
sition.

Naldosta, Ga, Oct. 1S.-The negro
camp meeting at Pine Park, near this
city continues. A woman named Sarah
Holland, from North Carolina, claims
to he faith-curist and to have com
munion with the powers of the air.
She claims to be able to make the
brightest of the stars disappear from
view, and this feature has been work
ed every clear night this week A few
hundred negroes go out behind the
grandstand and gaze at one of the
brightest stars. Then the woman be-
gins to sing and pray. All of the ne
groes declare that they saw the stars
disappear and one or two white men
said it looked sorter that way to
them" The woman has a wonderful
influence with the negroes.

Mpperer was at his home, but left
there to go to the station, when he
looked back and saw the top o. the
