This has been a quite active
season among the mining camps
of the Salmon river in Custer
county, and when mining is good
a corresponding activity is mott
ced in the farming and other in
dustries.
Besides the immediate mining
work, teaming, freighting and
wood hauling give employment
to many men and animals; and
this gives a demand for supplies
of every kind, and much hay
and grain, vegetables, etc., must
be consumed. Were it not for
the machinery kept going here
and there throughout the county,
there would be little encourage
ment for farming, stock-raising
or, in fact, any other business.
Where one man is on a payroll
in a mining camp, at least five
persons get some benefit from
his labors.
The Lucky Boy mill and mine
are running steadily. The mill
brushes forty-five to fifty tons
per day, and it will continue to
run, it is understood, until win
ter, when it will be shut down
for a time, but the mine will con
tinue with a good force of men.
1t is now explored to a depth of
about 700 feet, with vast quaint
ties of ore exposed. 1t is in the
main gold-bearing ore.
The wood contracts are about
completed for this season, and
the wood haulers are dispensing
to the outside.
The Black mine has recently
changed hands, and the new pro-
prietors are starting in to erect
a 10-stamp mill at the mine.
Heretofore the ore has been
worked in the Fourth of july
mill, a mile away, at great ex-
pense. Mr.. H. j. Jory, of San
Francisco, who came over from
Ketchum a couple of months ago
to examine the mineral fields of
Custer county, has charge of the
construction of the new Black
mill. He is an experienced
metallurgist, assayer and mining
engineer, and in his hands the
work cannot fail to be a success.
The Black is we'll developed and
shows an abundance of pay ore,
the values in a great measure
being gold.
Jas. McFadden got his mill up
on the Yankee Fork mine, a few
miles from Custer, and is putting
vanner con%centrators in at pres
ent. The mine is being worked
on lease.
Custer is quite a town, and
does a good business in all
branches. 1t has several stores.
a good many saloons, a hotel and
restaurants, and gambling goes
right along just the same as
though Idaho had never had a
session of the legislature. In.
deed, the people over here an
pear to be a sacrilegious set of
and smile a smile child
like and bland when you refer to
laws passed at the late session.
They speak of the laws as fakes
and the makers as fakirs.
The old town of Bonanza, two
miles from Custer, has taken a
fresh start since George Nc
Gowan, the cattle man, opened
up a large mercantile house in
connection with his meat market.

centage of the trade that had

IN cn0cK an army OF z0U, OOU men,
beasts rather who letting their
brutal instinct have full sway,
respect neither age, sex nor con-
dition of life, even the unborn
babe being made a tool for their
brutal pleasures. The armies of
Spain in vain have attempted to
conquer us, for there never was
a time when vice, moral corrup-
ton and injustice have triumph
ed over liberty and life. Like the

God has given to man, tries to
degrade us in the eyes of the
American people, seeking there
by to take away from us the sup
pert of the people who are the
founders of individual and nat
ional liberty.
IF we could go amongst you,
my friends and open our hearts
and show you how they are torn
with despair; if | could present
to you the man past the three
score allotted to mankind who,
with tears streaming down his
aged face, with his snowy locks,
on which time had left it's mark.
all furrowed, between the sobs
that came from his broken heart
like lightning in a thunder storm,
as he saw his two fair daughters
made the soldiers booty, while
he, too old, and tied to a tree,
had to be a mute spectator of the
dark and somre scene. If you
could listen as / have, to q
mothers tale of how her boy
scarcely is years old, had been
torn from her and being placed
against a pine, was cut until
nothing was left; if you could

me, "stop, this is enough !! then
there is no blood in your veins

"The Spanish army can succor

nurses. Our men in the deeper
recesses of the forests have no

everything behind, cast their lot

can place in the Cuban army
$4,000 more if we could give each
man a rife, a machette, or any
thing with which to strike a
blow. Every little counts. every
little helps, and perhaps the mite
you give will be the one that
purchases the bullet that will
save a life.
The victory of the Cubans is
assured beyond a doubt. The
Spanish nation is lost, it's civil
government is in the midst of
political chaos, its financial con
dition is SO terrible that Europ-
can banks have refused to lend
her any more money except at
an usurious rate of interest, only

why the Air FILLED with Airships.

The airship sighted in the west, y
says the st. Louis Republic, is a
fake. The aerial monster was manu-
factured originally in New York of
papier.mache and ordinary balloon
material to advertise a certain brand
OF cigarettes. When it was set free
at Denver some wine merchants and
other mercantile gentlemen infring-
ed the patent and made papier-
mache airships for their own use.
That is why the airships has been
seen at so many places at one and
the same time There is more than
one of them in the sky, and the ci-
garette balloon is not the only light
in the heavens by any means, The
whole thing is clever advertising
dodge, invented jointly by parties
in New York and Chicago.

BIGNEss AND GREATNESS.

In politics bigness and greatness are
ofttimes anonyms rather than syno-
nyms. 1t is also true that greatness is
more often shown in little things than
in big ones These are distinctions that
are unnoted by the present governor Of
Illinois, else he never would have at
tempted to make much out of the fact
that he and his staff were not accorded
that place in the Grant memorial par
ade they deemed themselves entitled to.
1t is very doubtful if his state will
adopt his view of his own case while
it is possible some of its people may
be chagrined at his course, especially
when they read what is being said of
their states chief executive. Thus the
New York Tribune ''polishes' Governor
Tanner off in fine style. 1t declares it
is greatly to be regretted that so dis
tInguished a person as Governor Tan
ner, the official representative of so
great a state as Illinois and so re-
nowned a social and political center as
Chicago, was not assigned the place in
the procession to which he and the city
of Chicago and the state of Illinois con-
slider that he was entitled to by virtue
of his official position as governor of
the state which. as he says. was the
home of Lincoln and Grant The
Tribune says he deserves praise for
mot making much of fuss'-or not
very much of a fuss-over the question
of precedence. That" it declares, lis
like both Lincoln and Grant
The only way the question can now
be settled to the satisfaction of Gov
ernor Tanner the state of illinois and
the city Of Chicago, is to create a, Chi
cago that is greater than Greater New
York
One wonders how long this Tanner
will last before he is buried, poIiti-
cally.

rhe Blessing Of strong Nerves

Is recoverable, not by the use of min
eral sedatives, but by a recourse 10
effectual tonic treatment. OpiateS and
the like should only be used as aux
iliaries. and then as sparingly as pos
sible. Vigorous nerves are quiet ones,
and the most direct way to render
them so is to reinforce the vital ener-
gies. That sterling invigorant, Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters, will be found
all-sufficient for this purpose, since
it entirely removes impediments to
thorough digestion and assimilation of
food, so that the body is insured its
due amount of nourishment. and con-
sequently of stamina. Rheumatic ten
denotes and affections of the kindneys
and bladder are also counteracted by
the Bitters, which is besides thorough
medicinal stimulant, infinitely purer
than the raw excitants of commerce,
which react injuriously upon the nerv-
Gus system.
