Mines. Mills and Mining.

Custer county is one of the richest mining sectionsin the world,
but at present it needs better transportation, and capitalize 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
q 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-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
err 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 smelters-fve quartz mills at Custer; a dredge
ooat and mill at Stanley; "a smelter at Clayton;concentrator at Bay.
horse, and a new 600-ton smelter at Mackay. In Custer county has
nearly 5000 located mining claims, and yet the vast region has not
been half prospected.

Agriculture and Stock-Raising.

Agriculture ably supplements the mining industry in enriching
this county. The Salmon river. rising in the Sawtooth mountains
north of Wood river, enters on its south western border, and pur-
suing a zigzag course in a general north-easterly direction, receiv-
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, irrigation9takes
tie 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 irrigaing 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
l,ay, oats, wheat, potatoes, etc. per acre, and large crops are
harvested each year.
: Stockgrowing 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 remuneratve industry, and the county
each year derives its largest amount of revenues in the way of
taxes each year from the stock-growers.

Climate. timber, School. &c.

The climate of Custer county is very dehghtful-light snowfall
in the Valleys short winters and most charming winters. At
Chalis, with an elevation OF I, 100 feet, sleigh-rides are we'll nigh
impossible. Creditable to our county is our plethoric school fund.
Each district has its school building and wenLpaid teacher. AT
Chalhs the high school studies are taught.
Probably one fourth OF the mountainous territory of this county
IS heavily timbered with spruce, fir and pine.
With large tracts of farming and grazing land uncultivated; with
p list OF taxable property annually lengthenng with giant strides;
with increasing revenue and decreasing taxation; with railroad
building; with good schools and churches, and little crime; with
stocksranges of luxurious vegetation; with an admirable climate
favorable to health; with a fertile soil, rich in fruitful products;
and with a vast mineral wealth in gold. silver, copper. lead iron
and the precious metals Custer county is blessed with natural
gifts and advantages that will prove its brief though Y gorous ex
istence to have been but a puny part Of its progressive career.

Custer County.

Custer county, Idaho, offers vast Inducements ito settlers and
capitalists. Its beautiful scenery, its enterprising people, its var
led resources, and its brilliant prospects not inaptly 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 quartzaminins
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 a wilderness, to the max.
ers of maps it was 'unexplored." 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.
forming Custer county was practically unknown. From 1875 to
1879, the fame of its rich mines spread misunderstanding capital
lists and Increasing its populaion-until the following year, by
legislative enactment, Custer county was created. and has 5hriIed
since that time, until today it has a population of 5000 people,
and has the following towns

Custer county embraces in irregular outline about 5000 square
miles, ard it is as large as the State of Connecticut, and larger
than Delaware and Rhode Island together; situated in central Ida
no, it is reached by the Oregon Short Line railroad on the east
and this road will probably be extended to Chalis next year. The
Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone company have a line from Black
foot TO Challis. The resources of Custer county are found in its
mines and its agricultural and grazing lands.

P-honopostaIs Now.

The phonopostal is an apparatus
which registers and afterward repro
duces the human voice, by means OF
a sheet of pasteboard (shaped like a
postal card.)
The records are made by an ordt
nary photograph of the simplest pos.
sible type simply by means of a stylus
provided with a sapphire point. This
point presses Oh an impressionable
substance spread on the surface OF
the card.
The merit of the invention consists
in the discovery of a substance which
can be easily spread on a sheet OF
cardboard and possesses all the adj
vantages of the wax-coated cylinders.
Moreover, 1t is able to stand the strain
of transmission by mail.
The sounds are inscribed In a spiral,
which commences at the outside edge
of the card and continues in ar ever
narrowing curve until it forms a small
circle. The record is SO deeply en-
graved in the coated cardboard that
not more than two or three ~syllables
are lost by the two stampings OF the
postofice on the concentric lines.

cient for news.-La Nature.

The Calm bad" Man,

The bad man of genuine sort rarely
looked the part assigned to him in the
popular imagination. The long-haired
blusterer, adorned with a dialect that
never was spoken, serves very well
in eastern fiction about the West, but
that is not the real thing. The most
dangerous man was apt to be quiet
and smooth-spoken. When an antag.
onist clustered and threatened, the
most dangerous bad man only felt
rising in his own soul, keen and stern.
that strange exultation which often
comes with combat for the man natu-
rally brave. A western officer Of es-
tablished reputation once said to me.
while speaking of a recent personal
difficulty into which he had been
forced: II hadn't been in anything
of that sort for years, and / wished
I was out Of it. Then l said to my
self: is it true that you are getting
old and have lost your nerve?' Then
all at once the old feeling came owe
me and l was just like | used to be.

after that. l jerked my gun and

If you will tell me where you got that

Utilizing the Victoria Falls.

The African Concessions Syndicate
has been in consultation with the lead
ing American and Continental engin-
GERS and exports on the subject of the
transmission of power from the Vic
toria Falls to the Witwatersrand.
These authorities have unanimously
expressed the opinion that the scheme
is not only quite feasible, but would
be commercially successful, especially
as the climate OF South Africa is one
of the most suitable in the world for
the transmission of power. There is
no ice in the rivers to interfere with
the workings of the turbines n no
snow to break down the transmission
lines. The extreme dryness of the eli
mate is also greatly in favor Of the
project. The experts consider that
there is absolutely no difficulty in the
way of the scheme so far as the dis
lance of transmission is concerned.
With reference to a statement that
the volume of water in the falls is not
sufficient to produce the necessary
power, it is pointed out that even In
the driest season yet experienced there
is sufficient water to produce 100000
horsepower, while at present the Rand
only consumes some 10000 horse
power. At the falls there is an availa-
BILE head of about $50 feet, and if more
than 5000 horsepower were needed
it could easily be obtained by cutting
a canal, fifteen to twenty miles in
length to a point lower down where
there would be a head of 1000 feet,
which would be sufficient to produce
1000, 900 horsepower. The construc-
ton of such a canal would present no
difficulty. The beauty of the falls
would in no way suffer.-London

have my husband drink it; but he was

make no more coffee.
II got Postum Food Coffee, and made
it st%rong-boiled it the required time,

swiss chance National Hymn.

1t is not often that a nation changes
its national, hymn. The Swiss have,
however, formally announced their in
tention of so doing and adopted the
| less well known Swiss Psalm, or Can
| tioue Suisse instead of the hitherto
universally sung 20 Monts Indepen-
dants."
The reason of this change is that the
| latter has always been rendered to
| Carey's melody of God Save the
| King" which is identical also with the
| German Hell Dir i'm siegerkranz,'
| and the Switzers are beginning to find
| this sameness too confusing. Hence
| forward, therefore, they will change
| their tune to one which shall be theirs
| only. and, indeed, the melody accom-
| panying the words, "Sur nos monts
| ouand lesoleil," ETC., of the "Cantique
Suisse is, if anything, more inspiring
| than the old one.
1t is also by a true son of the Alps,

THE GREAT cULEBRA CUT.
Il VIII be the Biggest Piece Of Dig
qinq Ever Undertaken.

9'9
The huge excavation for the Pana-
ma canal across the Culebra divide
will be by far the greatest furrow In
he earth's surface yer made by hui
man agency. 1t is so large that the
mind fails to grasp its real magni-
tude, and it a only be appreciated
by comparison with some familiar
object. A question of considerable
interest recently raised by a CORE
spondent relates to the largest exist
ing artificial excavation which is at all
comparable with the Culebra cut.
Great amounts of excavation were
done, of course, on such works as
the North Sea canal, the Manchester
canal and the Suez canal; but all
these were built through comparative
ly level country.
So far as we are able to find, the
only deep cut at all comparable with
that to be made through the Culebra
divide is the great Nochistongo cut
through the hills which surround the
valley of Mexico. This huge excava-
ton was begun in 1910 for the pur-
pose of affording an outlet to the
flood waters which had inundated the
City of Mexico and destroyed a great
part of the city and its inhabitants.
For more than a hundred and forty
years labor on this great work was
the chief task of the Mexican nation,
and it vas not until the year 1883
that it was finally completed. The
total length of the Nochistongo cut
is IL IL miles. It's greatest depth is
1877 feet, and it's greatest width 361
feet. The total amount of material
~excavated was about 100000 cubic
yards. In comparison with this the
cut at Culebra will have a consider
ably greater maximum depth and
width, ever for the project with the
S5-foot summit level. The total cube
of excavation at the Culebra divide
was estimated by Mr.. John F. Wallace
as 1856, 900, 900 cubic yards for the sea-
level canal and III, O00,0 900 cubic yards
for a canal with a 60-foot summit level.
While in mere size of excavation
the cut through the Panama divide is
by far the larger, the fact that the
Nochistongo cut was made with abso-
lutely no aid from machinery or me-
chanical power, but wholly with hu
man muscle, makes our task on the
Isthmus seem like mere child's play
in comparison with that accomplished
by those patient toilers under the tor
rid sun of Mexico two centuries ago.
| When one recalls that this deep, arti-
fetal valley, more than twelve miles
long, vas all dug by the labor OF In
dians, who excavated the material
with the crudest hand tools and car
ried it in baskets on their heads to
the place of final deposit, the great
cut of Nochistongo is entitled to rank,
with the Pyramids of Egypt, among
the worlds greatest wonders.-En'
