DeleCl DelegdleS
 The Republican" meeting of last Monday held at A. B. hall was poorly attended. The votes cast were twenty five and a large percentage of those were anything but republicans. The following were chosen to represent the republicans of Rampant at the Repub- lican Territorial Convention to be held at Juneau, Alaska, July IA, 1906:
 REV. M. E. KooNCE
 H. F.. THUMMs
 JOHN STANLEY.
 J. w. Young was recommended as good timber for Republican central committeeman. The clique fell out over resolution introduced endorsing Prdsident Roosevelt and his administra- tion. The resolution was finally passed after some debate. The objector will take it out of Roosevelt when he and fellow democrats frame up for the del- egates. to the democratic convention. When this system is working nicelyit is very pretty, as one has finger in every political pie, and is bound to be on the winning side.
 After the meeting Commissioner J. Lindley Green appointed himself recei- yer and endeavored to solicit funds to defray the expenses of sending one of the delegates to Juneau, but the towns people refused to do so, and the com missioner went home with a bad head ache. c. B. Allen, an ardent admirer of Judge Parker, and an 'independent" in politics, then jumped into thesbreach and succeeded in raising $120.s but John Stanley, whom they decided to send, refused to have anything further to do withsthe proposition and declined the \ dubious honor.
 1t is now announced that the proxies only of the delegates will be forwarded to Juneau. In the meantime the bona fide Republicans of the camp are said to be preparing to contest the legality of the entire proceedings and also the right of any of the delegates selected at that meeting to sit in the convention.

$20,000 I rail
 For Big Minook

Major Wilds P. Richardson. chair man of the Alaska road commission, has promised to expend $20.000 this summer on wagon road from Ram part to Eureka, up Big Minook. He made this promise to MT. A. H. Monroe who had an extended interview with him while in Washington, D. c. this spring.
 Major Richardson said he appreciated the urgent necessity for such trail, and the growing importance of the Rampant district. He would promise however, to expend $1O, 900 this seassn, and, provided the additional appropria- tion of. $150, 900 asked for by the road commission was allowed, he would ex- pend $20,000. The major estimated that the road would cost ,000 per mile to build.
 Congress has granted the appropria- tion, and the much villifed Senator Nelson secured it's passage thru the sen- ate without dissenting vote. Miners across the divide and all interested in the future of this camp will hail the buildidg of such road with great sat- isfaction.
 A base ball game and some field sports are announced for July 4th at the new ball grounds.
 Anderson 6 Olsen are enjoying trip to camp owing to the scarcity of water on Thanksgiving creek.
 August Peters came in from Glen to- day. He reports general shut down owing to lack of water in that section.

days before his death there, in May,
1919, Leonardo inserted clause in his
will desiring to be buried within the
Church of St. Florentin d 'Amboise.
Excavations made among the founda-
tions of the demolished church by M.
Arsene Houssaye in August, 1868,
brought to light a skeleton 5 feet 6
inches long, which M. Fleury, director
Of the French school atssRome, thought
eoincident with the, characteristics of
Leonardo's portrait painted by hinl-
self. Moreover, fragments OF. a sepul-
