ton OF the product or MethodlSm
Methodism, as al organization
dates from 1899. 1t had its origiI
in a revival. To conserve tn
~esults of this new evangelism
the first crude organization wa
effected. A few christians ne
together weekly in classes to pra,
and talk concerning the things o
God. A leader was selected fo
each class, known as class leader
whose duty was to have spiritua
oversight of the souls committee
to him.
In 1743 Mr.. Wesley drew up the
rules of the united societies
which have remained the ethica
and biological standard of teach
ing and practice for Methodist;
from that day to this. AS the
work extended, preachers were
appointed to the different classes
who made reports every si2
months; later, every twelve
months. These were "quarterly'
and district" conferences, anc
in 174+ there we're annual gath
erings composed of the clergy
and lay preachers, Mr.. Wesley
himself being the ruling spirit
By this organization the Metho
dists grew in numbers and power
until they were recognized
throughout England, Ireland and
Scotland.
Methodism IN America.
German fugitives who settled
in Ireland embraced Methodism.
A company of these emigrated to
New York. Among these were
Philip Embury and Barbary
Heck, the former a local preacher
who, in 1866, began to preach to
his fellow-emigrants. An anec-
dote is told of Philip Embury
and Barbary Heck. One evening
the sailors were engaged in a
game of cards; Barbara Heck
came into the room, swept the
cards from off the table ilto her
apron, went to the fire and depos-
tied them there. Then she went
to Philip Embury and said, "Phil-
Ip, you must preach the gospel or
we will all go to the devil" En-
bury said: Barbara. where will
preach?" and she said, I'm your
1ouse." He, calling his fellow
emigrants to his own house, be-
gan to preach, and here is the or
gin of AIethodism in the United
States.
About this time, another local
preacher from Ireland, Robert
Strawbridge, formed a Methodist
.ociety in Maryland. Thus the
work began in New York and
Maryland about the same time,
md was of such Importance that
n 1873 the first annual conference
vas held, ten preachers being
resent.
Mr.. Wesley sent over Frances
Asbury in 177l to superirtend the
york in America. Thos. Rankin
oon followed as an assistant. In
784 Wesley ordained Thomas
,oke as bishop and sent him to
america as general superintend-
ut, who, before his arrival, or
aimed Asbury to the same office,
S bishop. In December, 1884,
n annual conference was held in
attended by sixty min
'ters, who confirmed the choice
f Coke and Asbury. This was
le origin Of constitutional Meth
1ism in America. At this con-
,rence articles Of religion and
,rn of discipline were adopted,

For the first quarter of century

3. The adoption of its economy.

Custom Mill Now Ready
for Ore.
EVERYTHING WORKING NICELY
Severas Tons of Concentrate
Now in Bins.

The Elk City Reduction Plant
made its initial run yesterday,
and have got the plates in shape
to commence treating ore. The
machinery was found to work
satisfactorily, and nothing now
remains to be done except the
completion of the roaster, which
will be finished this week.
There is at present a quantity
of concentrate at the plant for
treatment, and more will be
coming in. Geo. Trader has
several tons at the plant from
Dixie. These concentrates were
made at the time. the Ontario
was run, some seven or eight
years ago. There are also a
quantity OF concentrates from
the Jumbo and from the Grange
vile mine.
At the present time very little
ore has been delivered to the
plant, but with it's completion,
several parties are now making
preparation to ship, and it is ex-
pected that before long there
will be enough ore to keep the
mill running steadily.
A great deal of credit must be
given Manager Tytler for his
perseverance in the building of
this plant, for it must be remem-
bered that very little money was
raised outside, and nearly all the
work has been done by contribu-
ton.

tuition charges or fees and no
entrance examination; the only
requirement for admission to the
course being an earnest desire to
learn.
The mining department of the
University of Idaho has the best
and most complete equipment of
any mining school in the north
west, and the instructors, in ad-
dition to the theoretical know
ledge, have had years of practi-
cal experience in various branches
of mining and metallurgy, SO
that the subjects are presented
from both the theoretical and
practical points of view.
The youngest student taking
the course last year, was 26 years
of age and the oldest 65. One
man travelled over 1000 miles to
attend the course and the best
endorsement of the value of the
short course for miners is that
the students of last year intend
to return and continue the work.
Any one interested can get
full information on application
to the Department Of Mining,

IN TEN MILE
MINING DISTRICT
Buckhorn is Active, Putting
in Their Mill,

The work of installing the
chilian mill at the Buckhorn is
progressing very satisfactorily,
and the frame of the building is
now up. All the machinery is
on the ground and it will not be
long before it is put in place.
The mill building is erected
near the mouth of the tunnel on
the Buckhorn, SO the ore can be
trammed from mine to mill.
The mill is also arranged to re-
ceive ore from the Wonder claim
which is controlled by the same
parties. The Wonder is said to
have the longest pay shoot yet
opened up in the district, but as
the owners are very reticent,
nothing defnate can be learned
of the size or values.

Promises a Warm Campaign

The local optionists at their
meeting last week raised some
thing over $500 for their work
in the coming campaign of wet"

w. B. Hickey, of Boise, an attor-
ney and experienced manager of
campaign work of this character,
to direct their forces.
This week the ''wets" have
got busy and raised something
like 81, 900, it is said to expense
their campaign, and have en-
ployed c. E. Arney, another Boise
attorney and newspaper writer
to manage their campaign until
after the 22d of November.
The gentlemen are both said to

Mineral Production Second
Only to Agriculture.

Nearly third of a billion dol
lars was added to the wealth of
the United States from the min
eral production of the western
states during 1910, according to
the figures of the United States
Geological Survey. This includes
about $66, 100000 worth of coal,
the remaining production, prin-
cipally metals, having a value of
practically quarter of a billion
dollars. The total figures of
western mineral production as
compiled by the Survey are $313,- :
944, 1881. This is about one-fourth
the total agricultural production
of the same area, the proportion
between mineral and agricultural
production being about the same
as for the entire United States.
The agricultural production of
the western states, derived from
figures of the Department of
Agriculture, was approximately
81, 1894, 791, 900. The area con-
sidered includes the belt from
the Dakotas south to Texas, and
the territory westward.

Idaho-ComstoCk at Dixie
to Develop
WILL CUT SEVERAL RICH VEINS
Work Will Take Best Part of
Winter

Thomas H. Minear, general
manager of the Idaho-Comstock
Mining company, operating the
Comstock group of claims at
Dixie, passed through Elk City
this week for the mines, where
he will commence active opera
tions. Mr.. Minear is taking IN

tunnel that was started last year.
This tunnel is now in 500 #. {,
and will be 1900 fit. long when
completed. The tunnel is a LEX
S 1-2x7 ft. and will be used as a
working tunnel, as it will cut all
the veins belonging to the COM
pany. The tunnel will give a
vertical depth of $50 it,, and
about 1000 ft. on the dip of the
vein.
The company have a holding
of ID claims, and some very rich
ore has been taken from the sur
face, and on the Comstock E, a
shaft down 160 ft show the same
