the land OF Moab, according to the
word of Jehovah. And he buried him
in the valley in the land of Moab,
over against Beth-peor: but no man
knoweth of his sepulchre unto this

The well-known poem of Mrs.
Alexander, for which readers OF news
papers frequently inquire, depicts the
incident graphically:
Nv Nebo's lonely mountain,
On this side Jordan's wave,
In vale in the land of Moab,
There lies lonely grave.
And no man knows that sepulcnre,
For AT the angels of God upturned the sod,
And laid the dead man there.
That was the Erandest funeral
That ever passed on the earth;
But no man heard the trampling'
or saw the train go forth;
Comes back when night Is done,
And the crimson streak on oceans cheek
Grows into the great sun.
But when the warrior dieth.
His comrades in the war,
with arms reversed and muI1eo orurn'
Follow his funeral car:
They show the banners taken,
They tell his battles won,
And after him lead his masterless steed,
While peals the minute-gun.
This was the truest warrior
That ever buckled sword,
This the most gifted poet
That ever breathed a word:
And never earth's philosopher
Traced with his golden Den,
On the deathless page, truths half SO sage
AS he wrote down for men.
And had he not high honor
The hillside for a pail,
To lie in state while angels wait,
With stars for tapers tall,
And the dark rock pines like tossing plumee
Ger his bier to wave.
And Gods own hand, In that lonely land
To lay him in the grave?
In that strange grave without name
Whence his uncomined clay
Shall break again, o wondrous thought
Before the judgment day,
And stand with glory wrapt around
On the hills he never trod,
And speak of the strife that won our life
With the incarnate Son of God.
D lonely grave in Moab's landi
o dark Beth-peor's hill!
Speak to these curious hearts OF ours,
And teach them to be still.
God hath his mysteries OF grace,
Ways that we cannot tell;
He hides them deep like the hidden sleep |
OF him he loved so We'll

one which has been for so many years
a commonplace of American speech as
that of John Harvard. Yet, notwith-
standing the important part that young

education in this country, the founder

to his life-story and memory. This
blank in American literature has been
filled by Henry c. Shelley, whose John

NEW STRIKE
GOLD POINT
Property on Red River Shows
Ore Literally Spotted
By Gold.

Frank Bosch, one of the owners of the
Gold Point property, on Red river, on
which Charley Whipple and Arthur Hill
lier are operating their new ore crusher.
brought news to camp Tuesday that
new strike, richer than the ore where
they have been working, was made on
the claim the first of the week.
The new find was made farther up
the hill, and was discovered by Mr..
Bosh who was prospecting during the
cold spell when the mill could not be in
operation. ''The vein is small one as
far as have exposed it, " said Mr.. Bosh
to the Mining News scribe, "but when
we come to mill it we will find, am
sure, that it is richer ore than any we
have uncovered on the property. Why,
it is literally spotted by gold and it
pans readily. tested several panfuls
and in nearly every instance got about
two inches of colors. The ledge is only
few inches in width, so far as have
exposed it, but in the snow l have
traced it forty feet"
The new mill on the Gold Point prop
erty has been idle the past week on ac-
count of the water having been shut off
by the recent cold spell. All the ore on
the dump was treated and work has
been going on in the shaft. Consider
able new ore is now on the dump.
1t is probable the new discovery will
be worked in connection with the old
shaft as soon as the mill can be started
again.

nuggets to the extent of at least three
hundred and fifty million dollars. This
is fact that every man of the district
should point to with pride even if it
never yielded another dollars worth of
the yellow metal. The end is not yet.
So great has been the efforts of the
men engaged in quartz mining in the
district, that great many of the pros
poets have been developed until they
now have the right to be classed as
mines, and good ones, too, waiting only
for facilities to get their products to
market.

BE GOOD PLACER YEAR.
Great Blanket of Snow VIII Give Plenty
of Woter In the Spring.

1t seems to be the opinion of great
majority of the owners of placer mines
in this district and others who have fol-
lowed that branch of mining that the
coming season is going to be a profit
able one in this section of Idaho. They
base their opinion upon the great
amount of snow that is in the hills at
this time, and the water that will flow
in every draw and gully when old Sol
makes Winter release his grip in the
springtime. Old miners say that the
month of January usually indicates the
volume of their harvest and at this time
of year they can estimate the compare
tive yield with as much accuracy as the
wheat grow estimates his coming harv-
est when the crop has reached the criti-
cal stage. Snow, huge banks of the
beautiful, fill every crook and crevice
on the mountain sides, and on the sum-
mits it runs to fifteen feet in depth, and
even in the valleys it runs about three
feet on the level. Miners not given to
exaggeration say there is more snow
now than there has been at any one
time in recent years.

ESPEY WILL
ERECT A MILL
Rich Property on Clearwater
Is to Be Worked on a
Larger Scale.

E. E. Espey, who came into full pos
session of the mining property on the
Clearwater by recent decision of the
supreme court, has returned from his
business trip to Portland. According
to the Grangeville papers. he was look
ing after business matters there week
ago, going from there to Lewiston
where, the Standard-N News says, he will
remain until in the spring when he will
come to Elk City and begin work on his
property on the Clearwater.
Mr.. Espey will install 5-stamp mill
this spring, and work will be started on
the plant just as soon as the weather
will permit. This the Mining News
learns through private advice direct
from Mr.. Espey. When the decision of
the supreme court was learned in Elk
City, this paper predicted there would
be extensive improvement made on the
property the coming year.
Mr.. Espey has worked the property
on a small scale for the past four years
with grand success. To begin with he
shipped ore to a smelter in Tacoma
This encouraged him to erect the mod
est plant now on the property, which
consists of two stamps operated by {

MINING NEWS IN BRIEF
FROM NEARBY DISTRICTS
BRING IN THE SAMPLES.

AS has been stated in the Mining
News before, it is the desire Of the
committee to get the samples of ore
wanted by the Verbeke-DeKeyser
company ready for shipping at an
early date.
The success or failure of the under
taking may depend upon the time
you take to prepare your samples.
Several property owners have
brought in samples, but the number
is small in comparison to the number
of property owners in the district.
Prepare two samples, of the low
est and of the average grade ore. A
description of the property number
Of claims, amount and character of
work done and statement of location
of property should accompany the
samples.
Leave samples at Office of Mining

Nature provided the district with
more mineral resources besides those
