How many readers are familiar with
the history and origin Of the most
common articles they daily use? We
eat, drink, wear without thinking
whence or wherefore. Stockings were
known among the Romans more than
l-s00 years ago, as is proved by paint
ings found In the ruins of Pompeii.
They were considered more ornamental
than useful. In the colder climate Of
northern Europe they became neces-
sity, and the Manufacture Of them be-
came a recognized employment In the
twelfth century, when they were fash

Edward II. they assumed a resen-

Mines, Mills and Mining.

Custer county is one of the richest mining sections in the world,
but at present it needs better transportation, and capital to develop
it's rich mining districts. In some states and territories mining
and agriculture, though progressing hand in hand, are yet nearly
independent of each other. The farmers market is widened by
the miner, to be sure but not relying on home consumption e&-
cusivey, he can exist and prosper, but in this county the miner
and farmer depend upon each other TO a great extent. Let us for
a moment call the attention of the capitalist to some of the most
important mining districts and mines in the county, viz Mackay.

silver mines; Bayhorse district with its famous Ramshorn. Skylark
and dozens of rich lead-slver and gold bearing mines; Poverty

es; Washington Basin gold mines; and the celebrated Yankee Fork
district, which is gold silver ores, and embraces within its confines

the Lucky Boy and Yankee Fork. Custer county also has several
quartz mills and smelters-fve quartz mills at Custer; a dredge
boat and mill at Stanley, d snelter at Observation-Disclosures at Bay

Agriculture and Stock-Raising.

Agriculture ably supplements the mining industry in enriching
this county. The Salmon river. rising in the Sawtooth mountains
north of Wood river, enters on its southwestern border, and pur-
suing a zigzag course in a general north easterly direction, receiv
es the waters of ten large creeks besides the East Fork. These
streams, together with Lost river and its tributaries, flow through
thousand of acres of arabic land still unculdvated. Since the hand
of man is forced to supply what nature withholds, irrigation takes
the place of rain; and the water that annually goes to waste would
make verdant fruitful valleys out of deserts, would convert the
the silence of desolauon into the sounds from many homes. Agri-
culture, like all other industries of the county, is in its infancy.
The time is not distant when large irrgating canals will be taken
out of Salmon river, which has an endless water supply, and many
thousands of acres of rich sagebrush land along the river will be
reclaimed. The farms of this county produce wonderful yields of
hay, oats, wheat, potatoes, etc. per acre, and large crops are
harvested each year.
Stock-growing is one of leading industries of the county, and
with the usually mild winters in the valleys and excellent summer
ranges, has become a very remunerative industry, and the county
each year derives its largest amount of revenues in the way Of
taxes each year from the stock growers.

Climate, Timber, School, Etc.

Custer county, Idaho, offers vast inducements to settlers and
capitalists. It's beautiful scenery, its enterprsing people, It's var
led resources, and its brilliant prospects not inapty commemorate
the name of General Custer, whose dashing, romantic, yet produc-
tive career has become a part of our national history Thlrty-hve
years ago, when placer mining was in its prime and quartz mining
in its infancy, the territory now embraced in its confines was
known only to Indians and an occasional party OF prospectors
travelling to or from Montana, To them a wilderness, to the max
ers of maps it was 'unexplored." In 1862 placers were actively
worked in Stanley Basin, on what is now our western border; and
in 1869 a few venturesome men found rich ground on Loon creek.
In 1870 other pIacers were discovered and yielded handsomely, but
until quartz claimed attention, five years later, the region now
forming Custer county was practically unknown. From 1875 to
1879, the fame of it's rich mines spread mountaineering capital
lists and increasing its population-until the following year, by
since that time, until today it has a population of 5000 people,
and has the following towns

Custer county also has numerous large valleys where farming

Custer county embraces in irregular outline about 5000 square
miles, apd It. is as large as the State of Connecticut and larger
than Delaware and Rhode Island together; situated in central Ida
no, it is reached by the Oregon Short Line railroad on the east,
and this road will probably be extended to Challis next year. The
Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone company have a line from Black
foot 20 Chalis. The resources of Custer county are found in its
mines and its agricultural and grazing lands.
