the miner, the mechanic, the
farmer, the common day
laborer. and all others that de
pend on them.
The 18th annual report of the
State Mine Inspector reveals
some very pointed facts. One is
for FIVE years prior to the big
strike back in the 9O's, in the
coal fields surrounding Rich Hill
the mines of Bates county had
yielded an average output of coal
amounting to $50. 043 tons worth
at the mines an average of S726
307 for each of the five years. If
we remember correctly, the
average cost Of mining this coal
was about soc per ton paid out
for labor, or an average expendi-
ture of S34l,i7l each year.
This was quite an item in the
industry and prosperity of Bates
county and the head center OF the
operation was in Rich Hill and
her immediate vicinity.
AT the latter end of this period
of prosperity in an unfortunate
hour the mining element of our
industrial forces allowed them
selves to be persuaded to engage
in a strike, with the result that
the very next year, So the State
MiGe inspectors report shows
us, the output of coal fell of
more than one-half. The exact
figures given in the report shows
the output of coal for the year
1894 to have been 291,2 71 tons
talued at S3O5, los. A fearful de
crease in the industrial enter
prise of Bates county.
Then followed a period of nine
years of peace and q~uietness in
our coal camps and the mining
industry slowly Increased SO
that the yearly average output of
coal increased TO 356,s02 tons
valued at S344,452 on the ears at
the mines. AT an average of 4Oc
a ton for mining, this shows an
expenditure Of Sl4A,6s0 for labor
in Bates county, and principally
in Rich Hin.
Not satisfied with the condi
tons surrounding them another
strike was ordered with the re.
suit that instead Of mining the
average output of $50, 702 tons,
the very next year our mines
put out only 1857 tons valued
at S24A 16l. which, at an average
cost of 60c per ton for mining,
amounted to Sl06, 1875 paid for
labor. And for the year 1904 we
mined in Bates county only 1872,
495 tons of coal valued at S212,s sol
and at an average of G0c per ton
for mining, paid for labor about
sol, 500,
in other words. after the strike
in the COS our coal output fell of
more than one-half from the
average mp 60 th8t date, and
again, before IL had recovered the
lost ground, another strike was
inaugurated, and the very next
year another reduction of over
one.half of the then average out.
put occurred, until now the out
put is less than 10000 tons, the
value less than S225, 600, and the
amount paid ont Tor labor less
than 100000 Not only so, but

Rich Strikes in Florence Ca mps.

Some remarkable stories are COM
ing from the old Florence camp.
One Of these, published by the
Grangeville Standard, is rs follows:
1.-The richest strike ever made In
Northern Idaho was made last week
at Balloon gulch, one-half mile from
the old town OF Florence, at which
time James Mosher aud Harry IIink.

men have now taken out and sacked
more than S50,000 worth OF ore,
which they will ship 10 the neares,
mill at the earliest possible date,
which will most probably be the
smelter at Charleston The discover,
was made accidentally as are all thu
great strikes made In the big camps
throughout the mining country.
Mosher and his partner were working
In an old tunnel aud In some wa,
caused the car to strike portion oI
the hanging rock along the side wall
which was IN a deconposed condi

made the rock was found TO contain
great spots and streaks OF virgin gold
This discovery caused the men Il
carefully prospect the whole wal
with the result that more than ioul
