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
its rich mining districts. In some states and territories mining
ana agriculture though progressing hand in hand, are yet nearly
independent of each other. The farmers market is widened nv
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 MS 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 Ramshoru .Skylark
and dozens of rich lead-silver and gold bearing mines; Poverty
Flat; Centennial Flat; East Fork; Clayton; Slate creek; Thompson
creek; Robinson Bar; Stanley Basin, with placer and quartz; Fish
OF rich lead-silver mines; Loon creek, placer and gold quartz min
es; Washington Basin gold mines; and the celebrated Yankee Fork
district, which is gold silver 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
boat and mill at Stanley; a smelter at Clayton;concentrator at Bay
horse, and a new 80O-ton smelter at Mackay. In Custer 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 enriching
this county. The Salmon river. rising in the Sawtooth mountains
north OF Wood river, enters on its south western border, and pur-
SUNG a zgzag 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
tie 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 win be
reclaimed. The farms of this county produce wonderful yields of
hay, oas, 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 Writers in the valleys and excellent summer
ranges. has become a very remunerative industry. aud the county
each year derives its largest amount of revenues in the way of
taxes each year from the stock-growers.

WILL RAISE COTTON
FIulti-Miilionaries of the East Ex-
pect to Engage in Cotton Rails
ing in the South.

1t seems that John D. Rookie
Teller is not satisfied, even if he Is
the richest man in the United
States, and is now going to embark
in business as q cotton raiser, and
is going in the business on large
scale, az the following clipped from
the Philadelphia Record will show.
with view to controlling cot
ton as they control oil, the domi-
mating factors in the management
of the Standard Oil Company,
guided by experts, are negotiating
for plantations in all parts of the
cotton belt and for a controlling
interest in the refneries that pro-
duce cotton seed oil, most of which
are now owned by the Southern
Cotton Seed Oil Company.
The project has been under
consideration for many months,
but it was not until lucent cotton
became a reality that definite
proposition was whipped into
shape and actual purchases made.
AS staple, cotton ranks first
in all the markets of the world.
Selling at and s cents, however,
cotton offered no acknowledgements
to the grower. The development
of the cotton seed oil business fin
ally menaced the product of raw
cotton by using up the bulk Of
tirst-crop seed, which the grower,
in his need, turned into cash at
the earlist opportunity.
1T was this great and ever
growing peril that formed the ba-
sis for the first bull movement, en-
gineered by Daniel J. Sully, the
the reigning cotton king, and the
later and greater deal engineered
/, by William p Brown, both OF
whom asserted at the time, and IN
sist now, that raw cotton is worth
10 cents a pound all the time, and
20 cents just now.

made by Sully and Brown that in

own vast tracts Of land in Texas
and elsewhere in the cotton belt,
and brought about the pending
negotiations for the purchase Of
cultivated plantations.
George H. McFadden Of this
city is the largest buyer Of raw
cotton in the world, and several
conferences have been held witha
view to ascertaining what stand
the McFadden interest, which con
trolls the real market just as ouily
now dominates the speculative
market, will take in the matter Of
this new deal. In a word, it was
learned that the McFadden organ
ization is prepared to take all OF
the cotton that may be offered for
actoal delivery, and that, as a gen
eral proposition, the demand is far
greater than the supply, SO that
nothing is to be feared from them.
Experts agree that cotton can
be sold for 10 cents and yield the
grower q handsome profit. The
bull movement has practically
doubled the market price of cot
ton. The spinners who closed
their mills rather than pay the in
creased prices are, one by one,
coming to believe, as the Standard
Oil men have been convinced,
that lucent cotton is here to stay,
and general buying has been re-
sumed.
The vast estates owned by the
Standard Oil Company in Texas
figure in this project as the sites Of
plantations to be established and
cultivated by expert growers di-
rectly IN the employ of the pro-
moters. who will Use no frst-crop
seed in their oil refineries, but, on
the contrary, will resort to every
expedient known to horticulture 70
improve the quality of cotton
grown and toincrease the quantity.
The major output of cotton and its
only by-product will thus be con-
trolled by the same interest that
now dominates the oil, copper and
steel industries OF the country"

FRACTIONAL POLITICS.

At meeting of the candidates
held at the court house in Bates
vile last Saturday q resolution was
adopted by which they pledged
themselves to remain neutral in re-
card to the eeboruatorial contest.
The journal betteve- thie is q wise
move and Ne hope the candidates
will adhere strictly to thi8 rule.
No good ever comes Of an ut
tempt to ride into Office on Che
coat tail Of some other man, and
no man who possesses any ability,
common sense or self-respact viii
attempt such 9 thing. 1t is like
wise degrading to politics to at
tempt to win public favor BY de-
nouncing another man unless that
man be your political opponent.
We belive in candidate run
ming strictly upon his own merits,
and if he cant win on his own
merits he had better quit the race.
We have heard, however. that GER
tain individuals have been trying
to have the county candidates com
nit themselves In favor of one or
the other the gubernatoriaI aspir-
ants. but if The Journal knows
anything of the great superstruc-
ture of democracy, any newspaper
or individual who favors such
practices is totally devoid of all
democratic principles which
brought forth and continues to
nourish the cherished and time
honored battle cry of Equal
rights to all and special privileges
to none. "
Such practices are undemocratic
and ungentlemanly and we hope
the people will sit down good and
hard upon any candidate who at
tempts to win public favor by
swinging on the coat tail of either
Jeff Davis or Carroll Wood.
If the people should encourage
such factional politics there Is no
telling what the result would be.
There IS no disputinG the fact that
it would lead to serious compiled
tons and the probabilities are that
such course would defeat some
of the best men in the race and
perhaps defeat the best friends Of
