Elk City mining news. (Elk City, Idaho) 1903-1913, 1905-02-11

In a conversation over the phone
with James Surridge, who arrived home
from Boise Thursday, the MINING NEWS
learns that the chances for a state ap-
preparation for the South Fork road is
good. In Mr.. Surridge's opinion, how
ever it will be necessary to keep an
agent at Boise till the end of the session.
AS this will cost some money those in
terests which are directly concerned in
the construction of this highway should
see to 1t that the money is Forthcoming.
IL VIII not require more than $3.50 or
$500, according to Mr.. Surridge. a mere
bagatelle compared with the mighty
benefits to be derived if successful. and
only trife if unsuccessful. Few of lis
who have not seen those sums risked
on the high card many, many times.
and with no higher motive than the
questionable ambition of being consid-
cred sportsman.
AS it appears to the MINING News
the time for argument is past, and that
for action has arrived. This apnlies
with equal directness to every citizen,
every friend of progress in Idaho coun-
ty, farmer, merchant and miner alike.
Mr. Surridge is doing good work, but il
is none the less necessary that his hands
be strengthened by the support of 8
united and earnest constituency. The
watchword should be, dig up, and keer
digging until the South Fork road is ar
accomplished fact.

The MINING News is in receipt of the
annual report of State Mine Inspector
Robert N. Bell. The report is entirely
characteristic of the mani thorough,
painstaking and complete in every de-
tail, besides offering many suggestions
for the betterment of conditions relative
to our great industry. AS work de-
scriptive of Idaho mining industry it is
safe to say it has few equals, if any.
The reader, without leaving his fireside,
can visit each mining district, every
mine and many prospects throughout
the state. The otherwise dry and arid
desert of statistics is here frightened
and enlivened by many GASES of descrip-
tive narrative which really adds to the
value of the statistics. 1t is safe to say
that this report will have great infiu-
ence with capital wherever it is read.
The MINING News congratulates Idaho
in her inspector, and congratulates Mr..
Bell in the high quality of his work.

If adversely is the best test of char

The man, institution, or community
who stands by us in adversely, Civ

with gratitude when we win out; which
moralizing is evoked by the splendid aid

mining country by the Lewiston Trib-

the people of Lewiston generally. The
Mining News has enjoyed the privilege
of exchange with the Tribune for over
a year, and at no time during that per-

place Elk City and contiguous districts
before its readers in the best possible
light. At no time have those districts
gone to the Commercial club with a
meritorious proposition and failed to Sc
cure aid. Let the people of central Idaho
