STORY
Stirs up Quite a Hubbub
Among Chicago
Ministers.

Chicago, Dec. 29-Did whale
actually swallow and disgorge him
later?
This Is question which has split
upon the rock of Methodism. DR..
H. w. AIunhall of Germantown,
Penn, author. traveller and lectur-
er, attacked the highest critics of
the Bible today before the Chicago
Methodist ministers meeting at the
First Methodist church upon this
question and in doing so precipi
tated n ministerial row which threat
ems to spread throughout the Meth
odist church
Dr. Munhall in his address de.
clared for q literal Interpretation o.
the Bible He said in fact that If
the sayings of the Old and New
Testaments were disbelieved that
the whole structure of Christianity
toppled. His address implied that
unless every word of the Bible was
accepted as historical truth that
the "hilsher critics" would succeed
In tearing down the superstructur.
of religion.
A "hubbub" of no small degree
was caused among the ministers whu
listened to the address and there
were assent and dissent from the
statements which the lecturer put
forth.
Several wordy wars ensued when
the lecturer came down among the
ministers who thronged The assem-
bly, room. Some of the ministers
openly declared that they did not
believe the story OF Jonah and the
whale as it was written in the Bible.

Henry remembered the old violin
in hazy sort of way. but he had
never heard the name OF the maker.
and did net suppose the instrument
was worth more than $40 at the out
side. Whipping the dust off the uio-
lin he discovered a paster yellow
with age and inscribed in type long

northern Idaho, called the "million-
aire factory" will produce 100000
tons of lead this year, or 81 per
cent of the total output in the
United States. In addition, there
will be 100000 ounces of silver
and several million dollars in cop
per- gold and zinc. The value of
the output of metals in the district
since A. i. Pritchard, prospector,
made the discovery of gold in 1884.
IS placed at $190,O00,OOO, apportion-
ed as follows.
Lead, $121,653.S50: silver, $685.
14O; copper, $6,725,OOO; gold, s5,55O,.
900; zinc, $S45,OOO.
The chief lead-silver mines in the
district are the Bunker Hill and
Sullivan and the Hercules, on which
the dividends paid to date exceed
by several million dollars the
amount invested i'm the development
and equipment of all the properties.
The Bunker Hill was discovered
when mule, owned by Dutch
SlO,6OOOOO in II years and carries
$1O,0OO,OOO surplus. 1t is valued al
$2S 900 009. The Hercules has made
miliionaires of the Is men and wo
men who own the property Jointly
Their combined wealth was less
than $4,000 in 1897.
Prominent geologists estimate thai
the ore extends to a depth OF a
mile, which means that the deposits
cannot be exhausted in 100 years.
The deepest workings in the district
which is 35 by 20 miles and extends
into western Montana, are at 1900
feet, and there is no sign of dmin-
ished width or length Of ore bodies
or lessened value of the metallic
contents of the ores.
Thirtp-fve hundred miners are
employed and the payroll amounts
to s4,500,O00 a year. There are
also between 500 and 900 miners
working on prospects on properties
in which they hod interest. Some
of these will become shippers in
1909.
