idaho Is moving rapidly forward as one
a. the most progressive aud prosperous
states IN the Pacific Northwest. Her
mineral resources are being developed as
pefEaps they never were before. Many
inspectors and mining men who five
yesrs ago were engaged in hunting for
liver mines and in opening up the silver
Kdges OF the state, are now seeking for
rpId. They have uncovered some very
Iici1 mines. Work III the Florence and
Warren districts has yielded most crafty
ing results. In fact. Idaho Is destined to
take second rank 10 none of the Pacific
coas; states In the production Of the pre-
soas metals.
In IN agricultural way, the state Is
so-ging constantly ahead. In the Pa

crops viii run as high as twenty-five bush
els TO the acre, while in some places the
yield has been as high AS fifty bushels.
Prices are such as to guarantee 10 the
farmers a good margin of profit. Wheat
growing alone IL NOT the only profitable
hransh Of farming in Idaho. The stock
raisers are doing well. On the Camas
p-airles, timothy grows luxuriaiftly, and
BRET cattle have been In great demand at
good prices.
