The belief now is that it will mean the establishment of new Nome in that neighborhood. The strike of quartz on Boulder creek was made by the Boulder Creek Mining company which has been operating placer ground on the creek for some years. Boulder creek runs into Snake river on the right limit a few miles above the mouth of Glacier creek. The ore is so rich that it would be almost im- possible to get anyone to believe the story without seeing the rock itself. The discoverers are now hard at work prospecting to discover the extent of the ledge and from the last accounts it is evident that it is no pocket but a real mine. The whole district is ex- cited by the two strikes and boom days promise to return.

The Commission employees will not get these homes free of rent as is suppos- ed by many. They will pay one per cent of the cost of building as rent each month. This makes a return of 12 per cent per year for the invest ment the government makes.

DR.. OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES
His important Medical Discovery
Should Be Recorded In His
Memorial.

There has been a suggestion that
In a memorial to DR.. Oliver Wendell
Holmes some worthy recognition be
made of his Incompatible service to
mankind in the discovery and propaga-
ton against obstacles that would have
deferred q less honest and sympa-
thetic mind Of the contagiousness Of
childbed fever and its remedy. Lay
persons and unfortunately many in
the profession are unaware OF this
epoch-making discovery by q man
whose memory Is beloved and hon.
ored for his literary attainments
only. A disease which consigned
thousands of recent mothers to un.
timely graves was suddenly deprived
Of its malign prevalence by the dis
covery of Doctor Holmes that 1t was
contracted by contact with the doc.
tor or nurse and that simple precau.
lions by them would prevent its &C.
currence. Prosecuted in his own
country by the ridicule Of great pro-
fessors in that speciality, Holmes pur-
sued the even tenor of his way until
his idea was accepted in England.
Thence It was carried to the con.
tinent. where 1t was taken up by q
Hungarian physician who reduced the
mortality In the Vienna hospitals enor-
mously. To the latter his countrymen
have erected a monument In Buda-
pest. and annually homage is paid to
his memory, while Holmes is barely
remembered in the United States for
this scientific discovery, which it is
said he valued more highly than his
literary fame.
