PRoPRIEroRs of quartz and placer
mines, and business men generally,
should always give employment to
men with families. There are men in
our midst who haze large families,
and yet they are idle because they
cannot get work. while single men,
who have nobody to look out for but
themselves, hold good positions. Such
a course is not right, and we hope
that hereafter married men will be
givenethe preference.

DURING the week we were shown
two letters received by DR.. Simpson,
one from Kentucky and the other from
Missouri, and both speak of hard
times and failure Of crops. In look
ing for places where liyelihoods can
easily be obtained we would call the
attention Of the people Of the East to
the advantages Idaho offers. There is
a good show here for people who are
willing to work. Southern Idaho is
interviewer with large and rich quartz
belts that have not been prospected,
which, with energy and little CAPT
tai, can be developed and worked. We.
have good farming lands and stock
ranges, which, in time will bring
wealth to those who improve the oppor-
tunlties to secure them. Our climate
cannot be excelled. It is true, we.
have considerable snow during the.
winter months, but yet the winters are
not as disagreeable as in many other
places. The mountain air is refresh
ing, the water pure, and ague and
similar maladies are unknown. To all
who are energetic and willing to work. !
we say come to Idaho.

we'll as one Of the printers in the office.
When he left here, few days ago, he

FROM all accounts this will be a
season of hard times in California.
There has been but little snow and
rain, and as consequence there will
be short grain and gold crop. The
accounts state that there will not be
more than half crop of grain, that
the soil is dry and barren of grass,
and cattle and sheep are dying by the
thousand, of starvation Placer min
ing will amount to but little in conse-
luence of the scarcity of water and a
great many men will be unemployed
and poverty stricken.
Although we in Idaho have had but
light fall of snow, and the water
supply is limited, our condition is not
SO deplorable. We will have full
crops of grain, plenty of good range
for cattle, with plenty of fat beef and
mutton. At no previous season mas
beef been fatter than it is now, and in
fact beef kept fat all winter on the
white sage range.
The crop of gold from the placer
mines will be light, but our miners
are giving so much attention to quartz
mining that this deficit will not be Sc
riously felt. We have great many
good paying quartz mines in Idaho,
and vast field for prospecting, with
most hopeful prospects of rich discov-
cries. We will say to our miners,
persevere in your search for quartz,
and continue to add TO the already fa-
vorable developments in that line, re.
port your progress to your local pa.
pers, and capital will ere long find out
that Idaho has claims upon its consid-
Grafton.
