THE MINING INDUSTRY.

While possessing every element
of security and stability, no bust
ness has been subjected to such
tides of wild infatuation and un
reasoning excitement, followed in
most instances by reaction to the
other extreme of dissatisfaction anG
Misrepresentation in which a just
estimate and good judgment are
practically unknown, as has min
ing. A CLEAN of success, an i'm
portant discovery in some new field
has kindled a fire of enthusiasm
that has pulsated through con.
tinent and started an exodus Of
thousands toward the new Ell Do.
RADIO where disappointment awaits
the majority, because the impossi.
BILE cannot be secured in day.
Every mistake of the inexperi.
enced; every failure to realize the
highest and brightest hopes of the
enthusiast; every profitless venture
of the ignorant and incompetent
every swindling scheme of the un-
principled human vampire; every
absurd and foolish project that does
not bring the anticipated result is
charged to mining, and is held as
one more convincing proof of the
uncertainty and dishonesty of min
ing everywhere. The failure of a
bank in any portion of the country,
or the discovery that bank officials
have been dishonest, and that hun
dreds of confiding depositors have
been robbed Of their money, in no
way reflects upon other institutions
of the same kind, or upon the sys-
tenn under which such business is
conducted. The responsibility is
placed where it justly belongs, and
public opinion readily and prompt
ly decides the matter without pref
udice and without injury to those
engaged in the same business who
are honestly and faithfully con-
Quoting the same. 1t is no more
than simple justice that the same
treatment should be accorded the
mining industry.

Not Probable,

The Inter-Idaho in a late issue
says: 1T is probable that teams
will be started out from Ketchum
on snowshocs as was done last
spring, before the roads were open
to the upper country" Can 1t be
possible that the Inter-Idaho is not
aware of the fact that the enter.
prising citizens of Ketcham have
kept the roads open to most all the
important poinEs during all the
winter longl There is just as much
need of "snowshoes for teams" az
there would be for q toboggan on 9
Fourth of July.

THERE is no better time than at
present to agitate the building of
the bridge across the Salmon river
on the proposed road from Ketch-
UNI to Sheep mountain. The neces-
sary timbers required for the struc-
ture can be more easily laid upon
the ground now than it can be a
month or six weeks hence, especl-
ally when there is not as much
snow in that vicinity as there usu-
ally is at this time of the year. Let
our people bear this in mind, and
not quietly wait until the roads get
so bad and the streams so high
that it will be almost impossible to
do anything.

THE delivery team belonging to
Messrs. Greenhow & Rumsey took
a lively spin around the block last
Monday and brought up in . snow
bank near Chinatown. Fortunately
there was no damage done. The
young man who drove them had
so much confidence in their 'stay-
ing qualities" that he left them
without hitching. Even when they
started and some one was going to
try and stop them the driver shouted
"Let them go; they'll 60 straight to
the stable" In this instance his
confidence was misplaced. Indian
ponies are treacherous and won't
do 10 bet on.

Sickness Among Nor,ea

Reports havelately been received
that great many horses belonging
to parties on Wood River have
died recently of a disease common.
ly called pink eye," but from the
symptoms it would appear that i,
is diease similar to that prevalent
among the horses both in the Eas,
and West called catarrhal fever. .
The symptoms of the disease are
as follows: Heavy cold settled in
the head no swelling of the glands
running at the eyes; very dull and
stupid; will not eat; cough short.
The opinion is that there is dis
eased process going on in the lungs
of a catarrhal form. The following
remedy has been suggested by good
authority: That counter irritant
be applied over the animals ribs
on each side of the chest, of mus
tard mixed with cold water; let it
remain on an hour, when it is to be
washed off with warm water and
extra warm clothing put on; that
the legs be rubbed and bandaged
so as to keep them warm and equal
ize the circulation, and give the
following mixture:
$ $:'; .: $!s' s''' o.. each.
Give three ounces of this mix
ture added to one half-pint of wa
ter as a drench twice daily until
fever abates, when it can be con-
tinued for two or three days longer,
giving one-half the quantity.
If the animal will not eat, drench
with oatmeal Cruel, to which one
half pint of whisky has been added
to two quarts OF Cruel, and give
twice or three times a day, as the
animal requires. When the animal
returns to his feed give one Of the
following powders in his food every
night:
PSiy n .ss 'G 9ss,, ~ OF. each.
Pulv nit. potass., 2oz.
Mix. Divide in twelve powders. Give

ACTING Commissioner s. NJ. Stock.
slayer of the general land Office,
says the Weiser Leader, has rem
dered a very important decision as
to woman's right to continue he,
homestead claim made when single
and proved up after marriage. The
ruling is contrary to those rendered
by Commissioner Sparks, but affirms
the old decisions of previous ad'
ministrations. Emma G. Shaey
filed OH a claim while single, and
before proving it she married a man
named Rude. The two built 8
joint house on the line, he claiming
the adjoining homestead. After the
marriage they lived in this house
and the commissioner decided that
both homesteads can be held in
that way.

The Yellow Elms.


She lay within her chamber. pale and ILL.,
Bound to her bed by cruel bonds of pain.
Outside the leaves were failiEg--all was still
Save for the dripping of the dull, sad rain.
Tho Gins that year were yellow all the way
From tops 10 those low bOughs that fringe
and grace
Their tail, straight trunks, like little curls
that stray
And cling, caressing, DER a woman's face.
And through the leaves, as through yellow
pane,
The light shone in, all golden, on her bed,
And every morn, unwilling OF the rain,
Another sunny day, she, smiling, SAID
She never knew how gloomy, dark aud gray
Those long days were. In time we came TO
bless
The Gins, that gave her sunshine every day,
And robbed the rain Of all its dreariuess.
Is tho world grown as sunny as / weenl
| cannot see il clearly as of old,
For, like the elms, your love has come
between
Ny life and me and turned It all to gold.
