GARMAN GIVES UP LEASE.
Mr.. Garman Will Not Operate the Lun-
ey Mills and the Lease Is Cancelled.

Some three weeks agoit was announced
that MIR. w. L. Garman had leased the
Luney mills of the Independence owners
and that the mills would soon be started.
Mr.. Garman came to Denison. employed
MIR. w. H. Rule as miller, purchased
grain and made formal announcement that
he would at once enter the mill and ele-
vator business here The news was well
coined by many and there was every in
dication that the business would be pros
porous one from the start When the
trial run was made, however, MIR. Garman
claims that it developed that the mills had
not been placed in first class repair and
woulo not turn out the grade of flour guar.
anteed by the owners. The mill expert
Mr.. Russell, employed by the Independ-
ence parties, claimed that the mills were
in good condition. save for some minor re-
pairs which would be incident to start
ing any machinery that had been long
idle. For time it seemed that law suit
would result. Mr.. Menagh and other
grain dealers we're epjoined from buying
grain of Mr.. Garman and the Northwest.
ern was enjoined from moving any grain
for him. Mr.. Garman preferred to pay
damages rather than 10 stand suit, and
settled by the payment of 500. and was
released from the lease We do not know
the merits of the matter and do not wish
to say anything prejudicial to any of the
parties interested. Mr.. Garman made a
good impression on the business men who
met him. and it is regretted that the mill
is to remain idle. The mill owners claim
that the fault was not with the mills but
that Mr.. Garman found the competition
much more aggressive than he had antici-
pated and that he feared to continue the
venture on that account. Later it was re.
ported that Mr.. George Menagh had pur-
chased the property, but this report was
specifically denied.

open to small party of old friends in
honor CT the tenth anniversary of Mr.. and
Mrs. Frank Woolston Mrs. Voss had
prepared number of presents for the

with glee (?) how he had been hazed by
by the boys at Iowa City on that day when
he was twenty-one and had been obliged
to pledge himself not to shave until he had
visited his "best girl" The affair was as
pleasant as only such gathering of old
friends can be. Frank and Bertie are an
ideal couple, ten years of welded life

just as merry and their loyalty to their
friends and to each other as ssteadfast as of
yore.

Agriculture and Stock-Raising.

Agriculture ably supplements the mining industry in enrichino
this county. The Salmon river, rising in the Sawtooth mountains
north of Wood river, enters on its southwestern border, and pur-
suing a zgzag course in a general north -easterly direction. receiy-
es the waters Of ten large creeks besides the East Fork. These
streams, together with Lost river and it's 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 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.
otock-growlng 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, aud the county
each year derives its largest amount of revenues in the way of
taxes each year from the stock growers.

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 to a great extent. Let US for
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
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
quartz mills and smeters-ive quartz mills at Custer; a dredge
ooat and mill at Stanley; a smelter at Clayton;c oncentrato at Bay
horse, and new 800ton smeHMr at Mackay. In Custer county has
nearly 5000 located mining claims, and yet the vast region has not
been half prospected.

Custer county, Idaho, offers vast Inducements to settlers an

the name of General Custer, whose dasfing, romantic, yet produc-
tive career has become a part of our national history. Thirty-fve
years ago, when placer mining was ia It's prime and quartz mining
IN its 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 wilderness, to the max
es of maps it was "unexplored." In 1902 placers we're actively
worked in Stanley Basin, on what is now oar 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

Legislative enactment, Custer county was created and has shfived

DIVIDEND FROM
THE UNCLE SAM
Directors Order Payment of $4,000
to Be Made Sept. 20.
STAR CON. LOOKS GOOD
LARGE SUM TO BE SPENT AT
THE WAsATCH KING.

The directors OF the Uncle Sam Con-
solidated Mining company met in reg
ular monthly session yesterday after
noon and, following the disposal OF the
routine business before them, posted a
dividend of $4,000. or &c a share. on the
capital stock of the corporation. 1t
was made payable on Wednesday, Sept.
20, while books for the transfer of stock
were ordered closed on the evening Of
Sept. 13, to reopen on Sept. %.
At the meeting the August accounts
and payrolls were audited and ordered
paid, and reports of the secretary and
treasurer, as well as that of SuDeTin-
Iendent c. G, Griggs of the mine, were
read and taVOrably commented upon.
The fact that the dividend was de-
clared is sufficient evidence of what is
being accomplished at the mine, and
leaves no room for unfaVOrabIe predic-
tlons for the future
The superintendent report shows
the mine 10 be in very good condition. "
said General Manager john Dern after
The meeting, with the development of

ably. In il we find much to encourage

Not a great deal of information has
been given out concerning what has
been doing at the Wasatch King. which

of Milford and while Mr. De Freest was
out here in Aaril last this is the first
time that first hand reliable informa-
ton has been released. Speaking of
conditions as he found them, Engineer
Horne said.
Under the suDerintendency of Jack
