MINING ON SNAKE RIVER.
Gold Being Taken From the Sands
The Number OF Miners Daily
Increasing.

Perhaps never before were so
many men employed on tho gold
bars Of Snake river. Dozens Of
locations have been made and the
number is being added to dsily.
Last Monday great many of the
miners were in town and from all
of them We learn that the business
Of sitting fine gold from the sands
is fairly remunerative. The wages
per day range from $50 TO -,
averaging at least 1925. While
this is not big wages from q miners
stand point, yet in those days when.
lew business houses are making
anything and many are actually
running behind, it strikes US that,
no one need suffer for the t1eces-
saries Of life so long as be can with
q shovel and rocker make from
80 to So per day. The gold, as We
understand it, is distributed all
along the river, and can DO taken
out wherever water can be had for
washing the sand. We are pleased
to note that the recently invented
machines, designed to save this
gold in large quantities, will soon
be in operation. AS the operation
Of those machines includes the idea
of large pumping stations the diff
culties connected with water supply
will be obliterate. It seems as
though the -four gold problem has
finally been solved. There is a
steady immigration of miners into
this section of the state, and from
all that we can learn the grounds
of Canyon county are pre-eminent-
ly rich. Most Of the mining il
done not far from Caldwell.
When the gold saving machines
get to work, a mighty industry
will at once open up here which
will bring life and prosperity to
this whole section of the country
Even q: present, the influences Of
gold mining on the Snake are be-
ing felt and the general stringency
is thereby considerably alleviated.
There is opportunity here for hun
dreds of honest men to earn fair
wages if they are willing to work,

A Brave Man Wanted.
Milwaukee Telegraph.


Whe Il foreigner has declared his
intention to become a citizen of the
United States, he has the right, in
many of the states, to vote. This is
true of most of the Western states.
In the early days, shen every effort
was made to induce immigration state
constitutions were constructed on
that basls-that man could vote as
soon as he declared his intention to be
come a citizen, though he cannot be-
come full citizen until he has re-
sided in the country five years. A
man who is not clothed with full
rank as an American citizen-the
right TO vote to take as much of a
part in the management of the
affairs Of the country Of which he is
not citizen as his neigebor who is
a citizen. II is 100 much to hope
that the state constitutions will be
so amended as to put stop to the
injustice. But congress can remedy
the matter without much trouble, if
it sees fit to do SO. 1t can enact a
law whereby it Is not necessary for
those who come to this country TO
declare their intention TO become
citizens, leaving the matterof citizen
ship in ours, the best of countries,
until they have lived here five
years. Now, where is the brave
man who will take that question
before congress and fight winning
battle in It's behalf. Such a man
can make a great name for himself
and do his country grand service.
Citizenship in America should be
something which every seeker after 1t
should be led to regard as a prize Of
the greatestvalue. Under our present
system Of making citizens that idea
has not been conveyed, nor can it
be. 1t is acquired too easly-comes
at too low a price. 1t comes so
easily and cheaply that in thousands
Of instances men have forgotten TO
take out full citizenship papers after
they have lived here the required
five years; have continued, all Of
their lives, in point of fact to be
subjects of other countries--to be
foreigners on our shores, and their
children, in cons equeuce, have not
been citizens Of the country in
which they were born and brought
up, though in act and fe cling, good
Americans.
