Phelan's Ranch. Idaho, Aug. 10. 1903.-
The life OF a Thunder Mountain Idaho
miner is anything but alluring. Humid
reds OF people find their way to this and
other mining localities every year with
little money expecting to profit by the
high wages while looking for a gold
mine But they find that the report of
high wages is little more than a ira
dition, there IS not enough work to go
around and what there is must be per-
formed under such conditions that any
advance on what is paid IN the states
is more than overbalanced-
An experienced miner is paid from
$1.75 TO $3.50 per day in the Thunder
Mountain district. This includes his
board and room" The board consists

casional dash of canned fruit The

CATTLE AND SHEEP HERDERS.
There are two classes of people in
Idaho who are relentless enemies-they
are the cattle and sheep men The I'M

covered with succulent grasses and wa

special inducemeut to the stock man
and the sheep owners have pFofted BY
the advantages offered by nature. The

being driven to the mining camps to be

the mines It is next to impossible TO
drive cattle on the trail The cattlemen
always insist that the ranges OF Idaho
are being ruined by the sheep They
say that the sheep kill the vegetation.
