The publication Of X. E. Hartmann

cobs & Co. revealed the fact that one
time students of the University Of
Michigan are distributed all over the

ceived an order for the book from
Dawson City. Many former students
are In Japan, half dozen in India and
China. several in Sydney, Australia;
five III Tasmania, two are working on
the great Nile dam in Egypt and a
number are in the mining camps Of
the West. The book is founded on
facts In undergraduate history be-
tween 1878 and the present time. Mr..
Harriman's new book, THE Home

he stood gazing meditatively over the
fields he noticed that several peasants
who passed OH the road bowed and
took off their hats to him. Mr.. Sted-

WHO PUT DOWN THE REBELLION ?

Not unfrequently do republi-
cans in Challis and elsewhere
make the absurd statement that
it was their party that fought
the battles on the Union side,
and that very few, if any, demo
Gratis were in the army on the
Union side. Sometimes these
statements are made ignorant of
the facts and sometimes they are
known to be false. 1t was the
duty of the governors of the
states to keep record of all
soldiers furnished by the several
states of their ages, politics, re-
ligion, residence, nativity and
pursuit in private lite, and from
that record we gather the fol-
lowing political facts

RAMEY GOLD RIDGE MINES.

The Nampa Leader says W.
P. Carter, who has just returned
from two months trip to the
Ramey Gold Ridge claims, or
Silver creek, belonging to Nampa
parties and in which he is a
stakeholder, states that the mine
is opened up in better shape than
ever before.
Mr.. Carter has been superin'
tending the work on the claims
and has six men employed. Five
feet of extremely high grade ore
has been opened up in one drift
and four and a half feet in an
other drift, which is about OF
equal grade.
We have opened up the placer
claims in good shape, said Mr..
Carter. I'VE have built 200O
feet of bedrock fume and three
miles of ditch and these claims
are already to be actively work
ed in the spring when the snow
begins to melt.
THAT mining district has a
prospect for a big boom. The
Singiser has changed hands and
is now owned by very wealthy
people. They have let con-
tract for 500 cords of wood and
will pump out the mine and open
it up in big shape in the spring.
THE Yellow Jacket mine that
made fortune for Dan Steen of
Boise, viii also be opened up in
the spring. Mr.. Steen owns
property in that district at the
present time for which he asks
500, 900 cash.
Another company has pur-
chased claims there and is build
ing Is miles of road and putting
in a mill.

richest mines in Idaho are going
to be found there"
