printers to establish an eight-hour

The Typothetae then went on record
as being in favor of enforcing an open
shop policy.
This resulted IN No. 16 withdrawing
its men from every shop where this
plan was proposed. Reports OF recent
date, however, show a magnificent
growth IN the membership of union
printers. and many shops heretofore
employing ncn-union men have now fall

Controversy
maugurated by Mdhdn
Noted Naval Authority Asks Question of The
ChurChman,' Leading Organ of Episcopal
Church Relative to Resurrection.

NEW YORK, Sept 23.-Capt. A. T.
Mahan. the noted naval authority. has
started a controversy in the Episcopal
church which promises to become inter
esting If not heated. He asked a oues-
ton of The Churchman, which Is the
leading organ OF the Epicopal church In
the East TO this effect:
DO you, or do you not. mean that
Christ took His body and literally rose
from the dead therein?"
The Churchman replied: That a be-
lief in the actual personal resurrection
Of our Lord Is a fundamental fact of
Christianity
Bishop Grafton. OF Fond du Lac. is not
satisfied with the reply and wishes The
Churchman to be more explicit. He
says in a communication:
The term personal resurrection Is an
ambiguous one. and capable OF more
than one meaning Personality cannot
die and. therefore. there can be no resur-
rection OF person. The old phrase per-
used by those who deny the corporal
resurrection as by loyal church people
when orthodox Christians say that
Jesus Christ rose from the dead they
mean that the body in which he appear
ed TO the Disciples was the same body
that hung on the cross. 1t was the very
same body that was spirited from His
Holy Soul on Good Friday and reunited
to that soul on the day OF the resurrec-

PRINTERS SAY THEY WILL
WIN E|GHT-HOUR FIGHT
Claim Most of the Shops Are Agreeing
to New Arrangement Through
out the Country.

The enforcement of the eight-hour law
in the printing offices throughout the
country is not meeting with the opposi-
ton that was at first expected.
The logical conclusions that have been
reached by the International Typo
graphical Union in making its demand
for the eight-hour law seems to have
established a just cause why the change
frome nine-hour to an eight-hour day
should be made.
In some cities. especially in Chicago.
Ill, and Richmond, Va, the Typothe-
taos stand on the question has been
materially weakened by the dissension in
their ranks. In Chicago. where the for
NAL demand for the enforcement OF the
eight-hour law was made on August IS,
a majority of the book and job print
ing establishments posted bills declaring
for an "open shop" policy. Since that
time nearly 200 new members have
Joined forces with the printers. Late
reports bear evidence that by January
/. 1906. when the universal enforcement
of the law will be demanded. practically
every shop in Chicago will have signed
an agreement with the international
Typographical Union on an eight-hour
law basis.

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 deyelop
its rich mining districts. In some states and territories mining
and agriculture, though progressing hand in hand, are yet nearly
independence each other. The farmers market is widened bv
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 q great extent. Let us for
amoment 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 it's famous Ramshorn. Skvlark
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-siver ores, and embraces within it's 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 Clayton;concentrato at Bav-
horse, and a new 8OO-ton smelter at Mackay. In Custer county has
nearly 5000 located mining claims, and yet the vast region has not
been half prospected.

Custer County.

Custer county, Idaho, offers vast inducements to settlers an
capitalists. It's beautiful scenery, its enterprising people, it's var.
led resources, and its brilliant prospects not inapty 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 its infancy, the territory now embraced in it's 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 our 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
lists and increasing its populauon-until the following year, by
legislative enactment, Custer county was created, and has ;hrived
since that time, until today it has q population of 5000 people,
and has the following towns
