A Novel Exhibit.

The exhibit Tuesday afternoon in
front of the Court House. of the Mary
land Fire PROBING and Paint Co. 4,
Towson. Md. conducted by their repre-
sentative, Mr.. T. A. Gould, before a
large gathering of people. was sufficient
proof that their paint is all. if not more,
than is claimed for it, A small house
painted with this fire-proof paint and
covered with kindling wood, ETC.. and
then saturated with kerosene, was set
on fire. A chimney. built of seasoned
heart Southern pine, was also con-
structed and painted inside and out
with one of the principal ingredients
that is used in the paint; this also had
kindliDg wood piled about and saturated
with kerosene. A blaze about feet
high poured ont of the chimney for
about fifteen minutes and not even a
spark could be found on the chimney
when the kindling had burned out.
The house stood the test equally as
well. Several persons who witnessed
the exhibit immediately placed their
order for the paint. Who could help
using it after witnessing this wonderful
performance, as it would seem impossi-
BILE for house to take fire from sparks
where this paint had been used. If you
are going to paint. don't fail to see P.
ID. Cottingham & Co.. who handle this
paint. before buying. as it costs no more
than ordinary paint and gives you pro.
lection as well.

Price of Tomatoes.

At a meeting of the Tri-State
Packers Association, of which Mr.. G.
NJ. Dashiell, of Princess Anne, is secre-
tary and treasurer. held in Wilmington
recently. minimum prices for canned
tomatoes for this year were fixed as
follows 55 cents per dozen for Mary
land Standard twos; u cents for threes;
So cents for Jersey thr ses. and 81. Is per
dozen for gallons. The prices named
are an advance of about cents per
dozen over year ago. This only gives
the packers small margin of profit as
canned goods at the price they were
sold last year were only about cost. To
the consumers the retail price per can
should not be more than last year.
Sixty or more packers were present
from Delaware. New Jersey. Maryland
and Virginia. 1t was found that these
States packed two-thirds of all the
tomatoes packed in the United States.
which will probably not exceed go per
cent. of the pack of 1903 or about four
and half million of cases. While
parts of New Jersey aud Delaware had
fair pack, there was a great falling off
in Maryland and Virginia.

A JudiciOus Inquiry

A well known travelling man who
visits the drug trade says he has often
heard druggists inquire of customers
who asked for cough medicine,
whether it was wanted for child or
for an adult. and if for child they al
most invariably recommend Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. The reason for
this is that they know there is no
danger from il and that it always cures.
There is not the least danger in giving
it, and for coughs, colds and Group it is
unsurpassed. For sale by p. ID. Cot

Custer county is one of the richest mining sections IN the world
but at present it needs better transportation. and capital to develop
its 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 ex-
clusively. 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.
with its great copper mines; Morgan creek; Garden creek lead and
silver mines; Bayhorse district with its famous Ramshorn. Skylark
and dozens of rich ead-slver and gold bearing mines; Poverty
Flat; Centennial Flat; East Fork; Clayton; Slate creek; Thompson
creek; Robinson Bar; Stanley Basin, with placer and quartz; Fish
en- gold mines; Sheep Mountain and Seafoam. with their hundreds
of rich lead-silver mines; Loon creek, placer aud gold quartz min
es; Washington Basin gold mines; and the celebrated Yankee Fork
district, which is godslver ores. and embraces within its confines
hundred of mines, the most prominent producers at this time being
the Lucky Boy and Yankee Fork. Custer county also has several
quartz mills and smelters-fve quartz mills at Custer; a dredge
ooat and mill at Stanley; d smelter at Claytonconeentrator at Bay
horse. and a new sO0ton smelter at Mackay. In Caster county has
nearly 5000 located mining claims, and yet the vast region has not
been half prospected.

Agriculture and Stock Raising.

Agriculture ably supplements the mining industry in enrching
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 uncultivated. 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 desolation 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 viii 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-
