ARTIFICIAL WOOD.
Attempts Made to Produce 1t From
Peat Eibers.

Attempts Made to Produce 1t From
Peat Fibers.
Frequent attempts have been made
to use peat as raw material for the
manufacture of artificial wood. The
material must, for this purpose, be
fully reduced to a fibrous condition, so
as to produce a fbrous and a mealy
mass. This mixture is mixed with an
emulsion of two parts by measure Of
plaster of paris and ten to twelve Of
water; and is subjected for considera-
BILE time to heavy hydraulic pressure
In molds, then artificially dried, pol.
ished and oiled, painted and vanished.
A more simple process is to wash
the peat, without destroying it's natur-
al fbrous state, and to mix the result
Ing moist mass with a mixture of n.y.
drafted lime and an aluminium COM
pound Gas, for instance, aluminium
sulphate, and press it in mo1ds for a
short time in the moist state, after
which the resulting plates are allowed
to harden in the air. The resultant
product needs only a comparatively
low pressure, and this for only a short
time; and is then set out to dry in the
air. The resulting artificial wood is
not hygroscopinc, and in order to use
it for open air work needs no painting
or further impregnation. In view Of
the fact that the pressing operation
takes only a few minutes, considerable
quantities ear be manufactured in
comparatively small space of time

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 develop
it's rich mining districts. In some states and territories mining
and agriculture, though progressing hand in hand, are yet nearly
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
a 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 .eadsilver 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 godsiver 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
ooat and mill at Stanley; d smeter at Clayton;concentrator at Bay
horse, and a new 800-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 southwestern 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 ~wthholds, irrigation takes
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 irrigating 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
hay, oats, wheat, potatoes, ETC., per acre, and large crops are
harvested each year.
Stock growing 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 remunerative 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. Etc.

The climate of Custer county is very delightful-light snowfall
in the valleys; short winters and most charming winters. AT
Chalis, with an elevation of 400 feet, sleigh-rdes are well nigh
impossible. Creditable to our county is our plethoric school fund.
Each district has its school building and well-paid teacher. AT
Chalis the high school studies are taught.
Probably one-fourth of the mountainous territory of this county
is heavily timbered with spruce, fir and pine.

a list of taxable property annually l%engthening with giant strides;
with increasing revenue and decreasing taxation; with railroad
building; with good schools and churches, and little crime; with
stock-rangeso of luxurious vegetation; with an admirable climate
favorable to health; with a fertile soil, rich ia fruitful products;
and with a vast mineral wealth in gold, silver, copper, lead, iron
and the precious metal. Custer county is blessed with natural
gifts and advantages that will prove its brief though Y gorous ex

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 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 it's prime and quartz mining
in it's 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
1879, the fame of its rich mines spread abroad-attracting capital
lists and increasing its popuation-untl the following year, by
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 Challis next year. The
Rocky Mountain Bell Telephone company have a line from Black
foot TO Challs. The resources of Custer county are found in its
mines and its agricultural and grazing lands.
