On Wednesday evening of last week
Col. James H. Duke received the fol-
lowing telegram:
NEW YORK, April 20, 1904.
JAMES h. DUKE, Scoobs, Miss:
Judgment was paid today. Have
written you. ADRIAN G. ROSE.
The payment of the judgment ends
this famous suit, and all are glad of it.
1t is to be hoped that the outcome has
taught a Lesson to the "yellow" journals
that will be needed in future.
1t has been remarked that it would
be 1.-THE proper caper" for Col. Luke to
"set 'em up" and as he doesn't believe
in giving bibulous expression to his
feelings of qualification and apprecia>
ton, that he purchase a few boxes of
good cigars and pass them around when
his friends drop in. How does the sug-
gestion strike you. Colonel?

Mines, Mills and Mining.

Custer county is one of the richest mining sections in the world,
but at present it needs bettertransportation, 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-
clusivey, 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
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 leadsiver and gold bearing mines; Poverty
Flat; Centennial Flat; East Fork; Clayton; Slate creek; Thompson
creek; Robinson Bar; Stanley Basin, with placer and quartz; Fish
err gold mines; Sheep Mountain and Seafoam, with their hundreds
of rich ad-slver mines; Loon creek, placer and gold quartz min
es; Washington Basin gold mines; and the celebrated Yankee Fork
district, which is goldsnver 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-fye quartz mills at Custer; a dredge
boat and mill at Stanley; a smeter at Clayton concentrator at Bay
horse, and a new 60O-ton smelter at Mackay. In Caster county has
nearly 5000 located mining claims, and yet the vast region has not
been half prospected.

TO
zee

There are some hundreds of thousands more men than women in
the Central and Western States of America and Canada.
AS a result thousands of trustworthy men-Farmers, Miners and
others-living in certain districts there cannot possibly get wives
in their own neighborhoods.
But in England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales there are a million
more women than men and, in these countries, thousands of good,
intelligent and attractive ~girls-many of them daughters of farm
|es and all of them qualified to make excellent wives-see nothing
before them while they stay here but the prospect of living and
diving rs old maids and this, to them, is a decidedly unpleasant
prospect. They would willingly emigrate to America, could they
be assured that they were going to meet worthy men there as hus-
bands, and that they could look forward to happy if humbls, homes
on the other side of the Atlantic.
We NAV say that all of them could afford to emigrate at their
own expense.
We are prepared to give good men introductions to these girls.
If YOU wish to get an introduction please write us with such par
ticulars of yourself (age, nationality, occupation and circumstances
as a sensible girl would expect to get and we will write you in re-
ply, with a view to bringing about a suitable introduction without
undue delay.
Tell US what kind ola wife, age, nationality, appearance and
disposition) you wish to get
If you have preference Tor any particular Christian Sect please
name it.
You will also enclose our fee of S.. A further fee of $45 will be
du. to us within one month after marriage, thus making $50 alto
eether. We do not confne ourselves to oneintroducton. We give
as many as will be necessary until marriage. But we make no
charge for any introduction after the payment of said fee of 80 for
the first.
tt is not at all necessary that you should be a wealthy man.
Bat it is necessary that you should be a man who would make a
kind and good husband to a wife.
If YOU are not such a man please do not write us.

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 uncultivated. Since the hand
OF man is forced 10 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 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 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 stool. growers.

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 |, 400 feet, sleigh rides are well nigh
impossible. Creditable to our county is our plethorc school fund.
Each district has its school building and well paid teacher. AT
Challs 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-rangeso of luxurious vegetation; with an admirable climate
favorable to health; with a fertile soil, rich ia 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 Y gorous ex
Iistence to have been but a puny part of its progressive areer.
