There is a thrifty man in England
who makes his living out of a pond.
The water is about 10 acres in extent
and close to a village street. For sew
eral years he has worked it for profit
with good results, the crops being
three in number-reeds. fish and wa
ter fowl. The fish are chiefly cells and
pike, which are taken during the close
season for duck. The latter are caught
alive by means Of traps and are sold TO
people who want to stock ornamental
waters. For these there seems to be a
keen demand at prices ranging from So
a dozen for the humble water hen to as
much as SIS for a pair Of scaups or
golden eye. From a list of the takes
it August it appears that the wild
fowl taken are mallard, teal, shovelers,
tufted duck, gadwall, coots, moor hen,

Custer county, Idaho, offers vast inducements to settlers and
capitalists. It's beautiful scenery, its enterprsing people, its var
led resources. and it's 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 it's infancy, the territory now embraced in its confines was
known only to Indians and an occasional party OF prospectors
travelling to OF from Montana. To them a wilderness, to the max
es 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 placers 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 Notwithstanding capital
lists and increasing its population-untl the following year, by
since that time, until today it has a population of 5000 people,
and has the following towns
Challis-County seat, farming, stock raising, fruit and mining.
M~ackay-Mining and farming.
Houston-Farming and stock-raising
MISUNDERSTANDING.
Clayton-Mining, farming and stock-raising.
B~onanza-Mining.
C~uster-Mining.
S~tanley-Placer and quartz mining, and grazing land.
Custer county also has numerous large valleys where farming
and stock-raising is pursued to a great extent, viz Big Lost Riv-
er valley; Thousand Spring; Round; Pahsamaroi; East Fork; An
Iteope and Stanley.
Custer county embraces in irregular outline about 5000 square
miles, and 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 Chalis next year. The
Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone company have a line from Black
foot TO Challs. The resources of Custer county are found in its
mines and its agricultural and grazing lands.

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 south western 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 unculivated. 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 desolaton 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 irrigating 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 stockgrowers.
The silver messenger. (Challis, Idaho) 1890-1912, 1903-03-31
Climate, Timber. School. Etc.

The climate of Custer county is very delightful-light snowfall
in the valleys; short winters and most charming winters. At
Challs, with an elevation OF 5,4OO feet, ~sleigh-rides are well nigh
impossible. Creditable to our county is our plethoric school fund.
Each district has its school building and well-paid teacher. At
Challis the high school studies are taught.
Probably one-fourth of the mountainous territory of this county
is heavily timbered with spruce, fir and pine.
With large tracts of farming and grazing land uncultivated; with
a list of taxable property annually lengthening with giant strides;
with increasing revenue and decreasing taxation; with railroad
building; with good schools and churches, and little crime: with
stock-ranges OF luxurious vegetation; with an admirable climate
favorable to health; with a fertile soil, rich in fruitful products;
and with a vast mineral wealth in gold, silver, copper, lead, iron
and the precious metals-Custer county is blessed with natural
gifts and advantages that will prove its brief though vigorous ex
listence to have been but a puny part of its progressive career.
