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
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 20 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, Wig 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-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
er gold mines; Sheep Mountain and Seafoam, with their hundreds
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
suartz mills and smelters-fve quartz mills at Custer; a dredge
ooat and mill at Stanley; a smelter at Clayton commentator at Bay
horse, and a new eOOton smelter at Mackay. In Caster county has
nearly 5000 located mining claims, and yet the vast region has moi
been half prospected.

There are some hundreds Of thousands more men than women IN
the Central and Western States of America and Canada.
AS 8 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 aud attractive girls-many of them daughters of farm
ers and all of them qualified to make excellent wives-see nothing
before them while they stay here but the prospect of living and
dying as old maids and this, to them, is q decidedly unpleasant
prospect. They would willingly emigrate to America, could they
be assured that they we're going to meet worthy men there as bus
bands, and that they could look forward to happy il hnnbls, homes
on the other aide of the Atlantic.
We may say that all of them could afford to emigrate az their
own expense3
We are prepared 10 give good men introductions to these girls.
If you wish 70 get an introduction please write us with such par
hculars of yourself (age, nationality, occupation and circumstances
as a sensible girl wonld expect TO get and We will write you in re-
ply, with q 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.
II you have preference for any particular Christian Sec. please
name ii.
You will also enclose our fee of 5. A further fee of s45 VIII be
due to rs within one month after marriage, thus making $50 alto
gether. We do not conine ourselves TO one introduction. We give
as many as will be necessary uRtil marriage. But we make no
charge for any introduction after the payment OF said feeof 3 for
the first.
It is not at all necessary that you should be a wealthy man
But is is necessary that you should be a man who would make q
kind and good husband to . wife.
If you are not such . 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 uncuhivated. Since the hand
of roan 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 csnals will be taken
out of Salmon river, which has an endless water supply, and many
thousands of acres of rich ssgebrush 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.

Custer County.

Custer county, Idaho. offers vast inducements to settlers an
Its beautiful scenery its enterprsing people, it's var
ieu resources, and its brilliant prospects not inaptly commemorate
the name OF General Custer, whose dashing, romantic, yet produc-
tive career has become a part of our national history. Thirty-fve
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 or from Montana. To them a wilderness, to the max
ers OF maps it was UNEMPLOYED" In 1862 placers were actively
worked in Stanley Basin, on what is now orr western border. and
in 1863 a few venturesome men found rich ground on Loon creek
In 1870 other pacers were discovered and yielded handsomely, but
forming Custer county was practically unknown. From 1875 to
lists and increasing its populaton-untl the following year, by
legislative enactment, Custer county was created. and has jhrived
since that time, until today it has a population of 5000 people,
and has the following towns
~Chanis-County seat, farming, stock raising, fruit and mining
Mackay-Mining and farming.
Houston-Farming and stockrasing
Bayhorse-Mining
Clayton--Mining, farming and stock.raising.
Bonanza-Mining
CuSter-Mining.
Stanley-Placer and quartz mining, and grazing land.
and stock-raising is pursued to a great extent, viz Big LostRiv
Ier valley; Thousand Spring; Round; Pahsamaroi; East Fork; An
telope and Stanley.
Custer county embraces in irregular outline about 5000 square
miles, ard 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 Challis next year. The
Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone company have a line from Black
foot to Challis. The resources of Custer county are found in its
mines and its agricultural and grazing lands.
