VARIED INDUSTRIES.

Recently we received communica-
ton put In very friendly tones from
farmer'near Welser critecizing The
Signal. The reason assigned was that
too much prominence was given to the
mining possibilities, and not enough
to the agricultural industries OF this
locality Without discussing the
position Of the Signal on this point,
its printed record being sufficient
we will say, however, that the real
and permanent prosperity of the
Agricultural classes depends on the
development of other industries, for
instance, sheep eat the surplus hay
and miners and lumbermen take the
surplus product of the farms, making
home demand, not subject to com
petition and an arbitrary freight
tariff. In brief, the prosperity of
our rich agricultural lands depends
on the development of our mineral
and timber resources, and others
that consume, and do not produce
what men and animals subsist on.
Washington county possesses unsur-
passed resources in mineral and
timber, neither of which have as vet
by their products. added to our com.
mon wealth. To bring these factors
to the front and give the world in
formation as to their value, has been
the mission of the Signal, and the
efforts have been in q great degree
effective, and this same course will |
be continued, hoping that in the
near future the man who tolls on the
farm may see the time when he can
put the freight in his own pocket
instead of sending it to Boston or
New York, for the sole and solemn
satisfaction of borrowing his own
money at an unjust rate OF interest.
Good wine needs no bush and the
agricultural interests of this part of
Idaho are so self evident that arpu-
meat is unnecessary. To institute lu-
dustries that will call for their further
development and furnish a home
market for our agricultural products
will be the persistent policy of the
Signal.

it has finally settled on the state pen
itentiary as the chief and most glar-
ing exhibit of democratic extrava-
gance. But the following ought tc
satisfy the most skeptical and intoller-
ant opponent of the administration
that in ca the Statesman could pro-

than to know so much that is mt true.
Here are the facts as opposed to

Boise, Ida, Sept, -, 1902 The Boise
Statesman, Boise Idaho-Dear Editor
In your paper OF date the 18th, you call

deficiencyof some $1,000 in the penitent-
iary's maintenance account by the end of

your readers, that, at the close OF the cur

Total loss for political weapons with

PROSPECTIVE REVIVAL.
At OLD MINERAL.
SILVER CAMP MAY SHAKE OFF LITTLE
OF GOLD STANDARD
DEATH DAMP.

1t will be fine thing if Minera
camp should take on a little of its
old time activity Mr.. G. Nj.
Mcdowell, who was in from Mineral
this week, intimates that this may be
the case.
The camp has been dead since
1872, when silver went entirely to
the dogs, but for the past two years
a strong Portland company has been
operating in the camp, shaping af-
fairs for resumption. There is in
fact two companies of the same peo-
pie, known as the Idaho Smelling
and Mating Co., and the Consoli-
dated Copper Mines of Idaho. Cap
tain Crook was handling their inter-
ests for time but failed to make
success. He has been succeeded by
G. M. Mcdowell as general manager.
Mr.. Mcdowell was in Weiser this
week and stated to tie SIGNAL as
follows:
81 believe everything is ready for
an active revival of the camp. MY
company is working 80 men and is
running three tunnels, one to tap the
Silver Bell at a depth Of 1926 feet.
another to tap the Jesse at 500 feet,
and another to tap the Black Hawk
at 260 feet The smelter is ready
to run, and the company has a three
story boarding house capable of &C.
commodating 80 men, also a COM
plete store and drug store. Our sup
erintsndent is F. j. M. Roe, for six.
teen years superintendent for August

prepared to accept or buy for cash
al ores from other mines, and we
are anxious to bring miners to the
camp to take hold of, under lease, the
many idle properties, and our readi-
ness to purchase ought to accom-
plish this, and the taking of custom
ores gives the miner an opportunity
to handle or turn into cash small
quantities from 500 pounds up. By
our method we are able to treat ores
more economically than ever has been
done before. We can treat $15 ore

ADA COUNTY TICKET

The democrats OF Ada county
evidently propose to wrest that coun-
ty from republican control. Their
convention has just placed the strong
est ticket in the field ever named by
any party in that county. P. H.
Mcdonald for state senator is one
OF the best known and most popular
contractors in Boise. A firm friend
of organized labor, enjoying the es-
TEEN and confidence OF all classes.
Mr.. Mcdonald will overcome the re-
publican majority and be Ada Coun-
TVS next state senator.
w. B. Horn for sheriff is the right
man for the place. He has an &C.
quaintance throughout Ada county
enjoyed by few and is deservedly
popular.
Messrs Gumhert, Regan and DAILY
for commissioners are all successful
men Of affairs and would make lust
such board as growing and
prosperous county like Ada needs.
9. o. Ellsworth's election as assessor
is assured and he is splendidly quail
fed for the position The personnel
of the remainder of the ticket is of
the highest standard. Truly the Ada
county democrats are to be congrat-
ulated.

merit of the enterprise was fully APP
preciated and recognized, and he
manifested his faith by investing his
private means to the utmost limit, and
while the project is dormant at pre-
sent, yet the near future will see the
enterprise carried out even as plan
ned by him. Some men live to fully

much else then meet the rugged side.

called from his labors.--And n pay

who can be said to have done what
he could for the land of his adoption.
and the seed of advancement sown
by him will yield fruit as the years
roll on, and his name and memory
be honored. ut any did not appre-
ciate him in life, it is simply because
the great rank and file has no capa-
city to CONCEIVE the splendid parts of
the man who-though having brain
and vision that can pierce the noun
tain wall that divides the present
from the future and see the wonders
yet to be and which he seeks to have
part in creating-ls unsuccessful
because of an unlucky star, or adverse
iron fate. Tom Bates could see fifty
years ahead in this west-as few can
but he was unable to gather the
forces to enable him to cut down
those years and bring the picture
into speedier reality. If any one
ever rdiculed Tom Bates's projects
it was only what has been experience
ed by hundred others. Of the
same keen insight in THE future were
Cyrus Field who laid the Atlantic
cable in the face of scoffers, and
the Ames' who launched the Union
Pacific railway into the almost end
less west-only, these and others
were fortunate in gathering the
forces to transform vision into
reality, while Tom Bates was ever
shorn Of the means to prove the
truth of the faith that was in his
soul. And so he went to the end.
Rest well, Tom, and may all who
knew you as you were feel that you
are done with disappointments and
are perhaps realizing the fruition of
greater and grander plans than any
you conceived on earth.
