LOON CREEK MINES.

CUSTER, Ida, Aug. 22.-Inter-
est continues in the new mining
camp near here on Loon creek.
The outfitting trade is already
amounting to thousands of dol
lars. A dozen pack animals went
out yesterday loaded with all
sorts of prospectors' supplies,
including wheelbarrows, giant
powder and tools for develop
ment purposes. The Lucky Boy
company having secured a S1O,-
600 bond on property belonging
to Eddy and Beane, have sent
supplies and arranged to put six
men at work this week. VIM. t.
Oster and George Coryell have
gone out to take charge of the
work.
Reports of the richness of the
new camp were not generally
credited here at first, but late
assays at the local Office have
dispelled doubt as to its value.
All who have seen both Loon
creek and Thunder Mountain say
Loon creek beats Thunder be-
yond comparison. James Hibbs,
who is in the camp with three
partners and an outfit of IA
horses, says he saw the Dewey
mine and the Big Buffalo in the
Hump country and that as pros.

with the Mogul group, on Icon
creek, bonded by the Lucky Boy
company.

camp, were in this week anC

LABOR DAY.
STATE OF IDAHO,
EX ECUTIVE OFFICE.

The widespread sentiment pre-
vailing throughout the State that
the first Monday of September,
generally set apart as Labor Day,
should have recognized observ-
ance in Idaho, induces me to re-
quest all citizens to refrain from
their usual avocations and to
close their places of business for
at least a portion of that day, III
order that the custom now grown
to be a national one, may have
the encouragement that every
movement calculated to advance
the dignity of labor should be
accorded.
The vigor, the vitality of our
country is labor, or allied to and
dependent upon it. 1t is this
class to whom must be given
their share of the responsibility
of making a strict adherence to
our laws popular, and to whom
also good government means so
much.
Organized labor, in its move
ment to advance the interests
and improve the condition of
workingmen, must necessarily be
endorsed by weil-meaning citi-
zens, therefore they should en-
courage any movement tending
to advance labor and to bring it
closer to the confidence and re-
gard of our people.
1 recommend that Monday, the
1st day of September, 1902, be
observed as a Holiday, in recog
milton of the spirit of true friend
ship our people bear to organic
ed labor.
In Witness Whereof have here
unto setU my hand and
caused to be affixed the
