MountGinhome, embracing hats,
FANS parasols and other articles.
The display of grains and
grasses occupies about half of
the exhibits hall, extending the
whole width of the building.
The grasses are displayed in an
Oriental design, the centerpiece
of which is a Gothic arch, elab-
orately and tastefully ornaments
ed. Pillars decorated with grains
and grasses flank the arch and
support a roof, the ceiling being
likewise attractively decked with
Idaho agricultural products.
Along the rear wall there are
more than 200 varieties of grains
grown in Idaho, displayed in
glass boxes, each labeled, and
each supplemented by a head of
the grain, showing how the
grains look in the sheaf.
Two large pictures, done en-
tirely in Idaho agricultural pro-
ducts by Mr.. and Mrs. M. J..
Vessels of Kendrick, are strik-
ingly interesting features of
Idaho's display. One of these
shows in striking contrast Chief
Twisted Hair, who supplied Lew
is and Clark with a canoe, when
the expedition reached the head
waters of the Clearwater river,
and Governor Gooding. In max
ing the Indian picture, twenty
three different seeds were en-
ployed to get the proper color
ing, and beans of different col
ors we're used for the bead dec
orations. The hair is of corn
silk. In the portrait of Cover
nor Gooding, the clothes are de-
picted by carrot seed and the
background by turnip seeds, the
face being of corn husks. In one
end of the building seeds have
been used effectively in making
the legend.
While you watch your neigh
bors grow,
Keep your eye on Idaho"
Sacajawea, the Indian heroine,
is done in seeds and corn husks
most effectively.
OF the strange and unusual
things shown in Idaho's building,
two have attracted a great deal
attention. One of these is the
stump of the first apple tree
grown in Idaho, which was rails
ed from a seed planted by the
Rev. Mr.. Spalding, an early
missionary, SO years ago. The
other oddity is a section of a
tree into which are imbedded the
horns and skull of a mountain
sheep which was caught, it is
presumed, in a storm, when the
tree was a sapling. The tree is
now 1876 years cd, and it is be-
lieved that the mountain sheep
was 100 years old when he came
to his untimely end.

LOON GREEN.

CUSTER, June 27.-The Lost
Packer Mining company has not
been receiving the publication
that the property is justly en-
titled to, the principal reason
being it's "emoteness from rail
road and other communication.
While it is true that a majority
of the owners are non-residents,
it is nevertheless an Idaho mine,
and one that the state may justly
feel proud of. Before another
year passes by, it is safe to say
it will be the greatest copper
producing mine in the state of
Idaho.
A visit to the property will
convince any fair-minded person
that this statement is not exag-
gerated. The great ore bodies
are to be seen in every level of
the mine, ready to be extracted
when the proper time arrives.
The development of the property
has been continued all through
the winter. A larger force was
put on this spring, and the same
is being increased as fast as
practicable. The machinery for
the smelter is now on the way
TO the smelter site. All of it
will be delivered by July 20, and
the installation will be complet-
ed by September /. A couple of
months run is expected before
winter sets in. The smelter has
a capacity of 100 tons per day.
It is up to date in every respect,
being the latest design.
The company has constructed
over 20 miles of wagon. road dur
ing the past year, most of which
is through a very rough country.
The entire work has been under
the personal supervision of j. A.
Click, manager, and he is GER
5ainly deserving of much credit
for his untiring efforts in plac.
ing the Lost Packer among the
greatest mines in the state of
Idaho.
The Mt. Estes Mines company,
of which J. A. Czizek is also
manager, is operating on Estes
mountain, about seven miles
northeast of Custer. The Mon
Sana,' the property which is now
working, was a very rich mine
in its day, having produced sew
eral hundred thousands in gold.
This property has remained idle
for several years, the owners
having ceased operations when
the water level was reached.
This property has remained idle
FOR several years, the owners
having ceased operations when
the water level was reached.
The new company is now run
ming IA tunnel to tap the vein,
and expects to reach it in about
400 feet. The tunnel is now in
over 425 feet, and should reach
the vein inside of the next 80
days. The tunnel is about $50
feet below the old workings.
The machinery has just been
received, and is now being set
in place and work can be pushed
along much faster. The work
has been very much delayed ow-
ing to the weather and the bad
condition of the roads, as it has
been impossible for teams to
haul heavy loads over the roads.
If the company is successful in
tapping the vein, and the ore
proves to be of a good grade, it
will start a new era for this part
of the country, as it will prove
without doubt that the ore bodies
go down to a great depth. Most
Of the mines here have only been
worked to the water level.

A WALNUT GROVE.

A friend who has planted a large
grove of black walnuts, starting the
trees from the nuts, wishes to know If
It would be better to cultivate the lit
tie trees or let them have the shade Of
the weeds and grass. It would Ger
tainly be best to keep these trees well
cultivated and free from weeds. As
his trees are planted twelve feet apart
each way, it would have been well to
have planted two rows Of corn be-
tween each row Of trees. In the plant
ing and starting of all kinds Of tree
life on prairie soils it Is absolutely nee
essary to give them the best Of cultiva-
ton for few years. Even the hardy
willow will not do well in sod. In this
connection another friend wants to
know how many years it takes from
the planting Of the nut Of the black
walnut until the tree begins to bear.
This will depend upon the soil, mois-
ture available and cultivation. If con-
ditions are all favorable it will require
about fifteen years.
