MINING IN NORTH IDAHO.
Cunninghain's Observations In Travelling
Through that Section.

]. w. Cunningham, assayer in
charge OF the United States assay office
here, had Il very Interesting trip
through the northern portion of the
state says the Boise Statesman. He
went into Idaho county. making drive
through binding snow storm. The
information CLEANED by him respecting
the mining operations in that section
were of the most encouraging char
acter.
At Florence, he says. the prospects
for the year are very bright. The BAN
ner mine at that point. owned by s.
S. Gilden of Spokane, has begun to
make record and Is in shape to be IA
regular shipper of bullion. 1t has been
proved to be of great value and may
be expected to add materially to the
production of that county.
Mr.. Cunningham found that the pro-
ductlon of the Occur d'Alenes during
1897 was larger than the estimate made
on the first of the year. The lead pro-
duct was so large that the total for the
state will be about 10000 600 pounds
instead of 100. 100000 as estimated.
The silver production will also be
somewhat larger.

We are advised that the Sunbeam

To the Editor:
Since our last conference (Oct. 10
and IL, 1880 the work of the Lord has
been progressing slowly, and is still
gaining favor in the eyes of the people
here, the majority of whom treat the
Elders with considerable respect.
The work of proselyting is being
carried on quite efficiently by the Ell
ders in Il house TO house" canvas.
Thus the Gospel seed is being sown.
which we hope will generate, bud, and
in the future bring forth an abundant
harvest.
The inhabitants of this state in gen.
eral are Industrious and highly civ
iliZed class of people, the majority of
whom are church-going members, fair
ly well versed in holy writ, and some
what set in their ideas of worship
Thus it may be seen at glance that
the Elders have no little to do in con-
vincing them that after the days of
Christ and His Apostles the Gospel
was taken from the earth, and that
during the ages following man has
been destitute of the authority there
unto belonging. Still the Elders are en-
couraged. being confident that when
Nebraska has been canvassed, as mas
been many of her sister states In the
Sunny South, she will have produced
proportionately as many converts,
There are thirty-six counties within

with the Church during many of its
deprivations and hardships. from the
days in Kirkland, until II was perma-
nently established in the peaceful
wales of Utah, and still further by his
hearty invitation to the Elders to dine
with him at 1 o'clock on the morrow
at the Willard hotel. After dinner ar
rangements were made and all went
to and walked over the grounds and
