have continued to solve the problem in
their own way by converting trees into
ready money. Only a few cases are on
record, in which private individuals
have practiced conservative forestry
evidently not knowing what they were
doing. If we investigate into the state
of affairs driving those individuals to-
wards conservative use of their forest
holdings, we find constellation of cir
cumstances, under which conservative
use of the forest yields larger returns
than forest destruction.
The most striking examples of such
Unconscious" forestry are reported
from the Longleaf Pine Belt in the
Southern U. S., section where logging
is practicable all the year round, where
taxes on forest-holdings used to be low,
and where the pine trees, clad in a fire.
proof armor of bark, are well protected
against destructive confagrations.
Longleaf Pine Pictures.
Obviously as long as the gigantic trees
of the primeval forests cannot be ap-
preached, as long as the expense of
transporting the timber to the market
surmounts the price obtainable for it, the
owner of the forests cannot actually
practice forestry. Later on, when the
country has been opened up by railroads
and navigation, the cost of marketing
the trees is reduced and stumpage be-
gins to command a price. From that
moment on, it will pay to use the forest.
1t will even pay to use it conserva-
lively, provided that the facilities for
logging are good that the "second
growth" is safe from fire and that the
accommodating taxes payable whilst the
"second growth" is coming up, do not
devour large percentage of the gross
returns obtainable from a "second
growth"
inducements at the Expense of the People.
If the government wants to encourage
the movement towards conservative
forestry on private holdings, it must
see to it that these conditions are pro-
vided for at governmental expense.
Then only misrepresentation is a safe
and remunerative business.
When the government wants to have
the system of railroads enlarged, it
gives inducements to prospective rail
road companies making railroad invest
ments safe and remunerative. Why
should government hesitate to follow
similar course when the development
and the maintenance of our forest re-
sources is at stake?
Obviously, the virginforest should
not be preserved; the virgin-forest is
unproductive; the annual production of

A two-stamp mill was first set up
on the property and ran As days;
then the addition of two more
stamps was made. Up to December
LIST the total output from the mine
was $4,000 in bullion, besides
concentrates to the value of S., 600.
The mine employs twelve men
regularly in mining and develop
ment. The other owners of the
Jumbo are Gerge Overfield, George
Filler, George Fisher and Chris
Olsen.
The development consists of an
upper tunnel on the vein, length
142 feet, with several crosscuts; a
lower tunnel SO feet below, driven
3S5 feet with a number of cross
cuts. The vertical depth on vein
in breast OF the lower level is 100
feet. An uprise in ore connects
the levels. Two ore shoots are cut
in the lower level, from 60 to 20
feet long, showing 6 feet wide OF
$50 ore. The vein is from IL to 90
feet wide and is all ore, though of
much lower grade than the above
mentioned 6 feet. Approximately
the mine has $500, 600 in sight at
this writing.
The Cracker Jack and Santa
Rosa have also proven the opinion
of its owners, Claude Flint and
Rufus w. Hawley. This was an
other of the no good properties,
although it has recently had ore
milled from it running 500 per

THE TOWN OF STUART,
Briefly Described by one
of its Residents.
An IMPORTANT TRADING POINT
One of Idaho COunty's Solid Little
Business Towns.

One OF uOonO NOuutyS SOso0 Ltttle
Business Towns.
Among the towns of the county
there is perhaps none more CEN
traily located and with brighter
future than Stuart. This town is
beautifully situated at the confu-
ence Of the South aud Middle forks
of the Clearwater river, along
which are some of the most fertile
valleys of the northwest. Being
only about 100 feet above the sea
level, the climate is we'll adapted
to all kinds of vegetables and
fruits that are commonly grown in
most parts Of the United States.
On account of the richness of the
soil, and the climate, all kinds of
vegetables grow larger and mature
much quicker than at either the
same altitude or temperature in
the United States.
Not more than three miles dis
tant in three directions from the
town can be found plenty of rich
farming land adapted especially for
raising small grain. such as wheat
barley, oats and fax. Since the
completion of the railroad to this
place last year, the farmer has a
market for all his grain and pro
duce.
In addition to the tillable soil
there is a considerable amount oil
waste land on the hillsidrs and al
different places which affords good
grazing land for stock.
Stuart is tn gateway to tn.

The Hump camp boasts of three

quarters Of the Sweeny syndicate,
and Concord is near the Jumbo
and St. Louis.

valuable for their furs.
The scenery along this river vnd
it's tributaries il unexcelled in
grandure in the northwest. The
water in the river is as clear as
a crystal and the myriads of fish
that swarm the stream can he
plainbly seen at a depth oftwenty-
five or thirty feet. Fishing at
most times Of the year is good in
this stream. Salmon and front
are found in abundance in the
river and millions Of mountain
trout are found in the small trlbu-
taries that feed this river.
Stuart is we'll supplied with
general merchandise stores and has
two large grain warehouses, one
sawmill, one single mill and q
system Of public schools second
only to Graneeville in the county.
The new school building is one of
the best in the county. On ac-
count of the tropical climate and
the healthfulness of the place it is
rapidly becoming one of the best
school towns in this part of the
state. The temperature seldom
falls below Is degrees above zero,
thus making it very mild in the
winter, and during the summer the
temperature is not SO oppressive as
is usually found in places Of the
same altitude, due IT, the timber
that surrounds the town. The cold
chinook winds that are SO prevalent
ON the higher attitudes in the winter
time are seldom experienced in the
valley.
Stuart has the best railroad depot
on the Clea water line and the only
one in Idaho county Here also is
the eastern terminus of the rail
road and is the home Of gOod
number of railroad men.
i One of the principal drawbacks
to the town in the past was on &C
count of the roads, and during the
past year almost $1,000 have beer
expended by the pc pie OF the tOwr
in improvements on the roads. Al
the present time roads have been
constructed to all the farming corn
munities surrounding the town
and the best and only road that j.
held open for travel all winter tt
the mining camps at Dixie, Ell
City and other camps in that vi
entity starts from Stuart. This il
also the supply point for all thes'
camps on account of it's being the
nearest railroad point.
AS time rolls by the natural adj
vantages and environments Of the

ton Of the outside world, and il
the course of II few years it viii

together with about SIS, coo it took
to clear up some litigation, was
the largest price ever offered for
three claims with ten-foot holes
only on each. 1t astonished the
world.
Silverman started men at once
to the property, under the direction
of Walter II. Hill, mining engineer.
Trails and roads were built in the
dead Of winter, quarters erected,
and development work OH the mine
started.
Clark & Sweeny, attracted by
stories from the Hump, took over
the Silverman bond and made the
first payment of $4,000 on Febru-
airy 6, 1899. Machinery was then
pushed into the camp and develop
ment started on a large scale. A
snow road was built from Badger
and maintained all winter by put
ting snowshoes on horses, feat
heretofore unknown in this country.
The entire operations We're under
the direct supervision of Engineer
Hill, who was superintendent of
the Buffalo Hump company. This
was the starting of the camp. Other
companies were organized and fol-
lowed in Sweeny's wake. The
Jumbo, Cracker Jack and other
properties were bonded to the
Sweeny company. Hundreds OF
men went in over the snow. loca-
tions three deep were made, and
some sold by unscrupulons persons,
There have been approximately
400 claims recorded in the district
that are bona tide locations. OF
this number 100 Of the quartz loca-
tions have been patented or sur
veyed for patent, and 20 placer
locations.
The camp proper is about seven
miles in length from north to south
by three miles in width east to
west. The mean altitude of the
camp is $500 feet above sea level.
The general slope of the country
for the south half of the camp is
southwesterly, and for the north
half it is north and northeasterly.
The principal drainage is into Lake
creek thence into Salmon river,
and into Sheep creek westerly into
Salmon river. The great fall fl ON
an elevation of $500 to 1000 in a
comparatively few miles makes the
problem of power for the camp an
easy one. Water power in album
dance can be developed on any of
the streams leading into the Salmon
river and transmitted for use to
the camp. The camp is but sparsely
timbered, but great forests Of good
timber for all purposes are within
easy reach.
The transportation lines into the
camp are, wagon road from Sites,
the terminus of the Northern Pa
