more leisure for study and i'm.

citizens. If they are forced to
work SO long, without opportun-

They feel the weight of oppres-

they were given more leisure be-

Representative Owens of Bing-
ham county, (republican), made
a remark in the Idaho Legislature
last week, says the East Oregon
ian, that is a key to half the lab
or trouble in the world. The
eight-hour day for underground
miners was under discussion in
the House. Owens said
LESS hours of labor means
more time for dissipation and
rascality. Workingmen spend
their idle time in saloons.
1t is not fair to the corpora
tions to say that this represents
their idea of the short day move
ment. They would refrain from
expressing such a view, for bust
ness reasons, if not from native
human feeling that shoulders in
their hearts.
This man does not hesitate to
fling the tirebrand of hatred and
passion into the combustible
preiudices of the masses. He
keeps alive the bitterness that
stands a barrier to universal un-
Outstanding and universal peace.

Colorado, q state of like char

argument that defeated the bill
in a republican House.

The claim sought to be made

sponsible for the defeat of the

unconstitutional, won't hold

specifically been passed upon by
the supreme court of the state OF
Idaho and have been declared
properly adopted. This amend

CUSTER COUNTY.

year 1902
Custer county, in Central Ida
no, is very rich in mineral wealth,
whose development in former
years has been retarded by the
lack of railroad facilities, a de.
feet partly remedied by the
building of branch road in 1901
by the Oregon Short Line from
Blackfoot to Mackay, where are
located the mines of the White
Knob Copper company, of which
the late multi-millionaire, John
w. Mackay, at the time of his
death, was president. Percy l..
Fearne is the present general
superintendent, having succeed
ed Wayne Darlington, who was
connected with the company for
many years.
This company has erected a
smelter of 500 tons daily capacity
and built an electric railway from
1t to the foot of the hill upon
which is located the principal
claim. Work is now being push
ed on a long cross-cut tunnel
from the head of the railway to
tap the lowest workings of the
mine, and upon its completion
the smelter will be started.
AT Bayhorse there has been
the usual amount of work upon
the mines of the district and
large shipments of lead-silver
ore of high grade made from the
Skylark and Ramshorn to the
smelter at Clayton. The Clay
ton Milling and Smelling COM
panv has made a successful
years run under the able man
agement of Lawrence Greene,
the output from upward of L.
100000 pounds of lead silver
bullion being upward of 100000
ounces of silver, with small
quantity Of gold. The Redbird
mine, one of the principal prop
critics of the company, contribut-
ed largely to this production.
The Livingston group at the
head of Slate and Boulder creeks
has been successfully worked
during the year by A. S. Living
ston, manager, and there are
numerous other promising lead
silver properties in this section.
The Lucky Boy Gold Mining
company at Custer has been
steadily at work during the year
with the usual large force of men
and has extended the shaft down
an additional 200 feet, all the new
development work shows up re-
markable bodies of good ore.
Hon. Ravenel Macbeth is the
able and efficient general manag-
err Of this property. This COM
pany keeps a 30-stamp mill run
ming day and night.
The McFadden group on Estes
mountain have been operated
with excellent results all season,
keeping the 10-stamp mill of the
company constantly running. In
this district are also some fam
ous properties having record
Of an output of 100000, of
which may be mentioned the
General Custer, Charles Dickens,
Lucky Boy, Summit, Unknown, |
Atlantic, Continental and Anna.
A large section of Custer coun-
ty is mountainous, being contig-
nous to the vast section known
as Thunder mountain. In the
rush to this latter section, many |
prospectors the past year made
discoveries in the Custer county |
territory, some of which are of
great promise. In fact there is
a vast extent of territory here
as yet unprospected and still in
it's native wild.
The estimated mineral output
for 1902 was:
