Mining In
This State

Mining is one of the greatest in
aqustries known to humanity. The ex-
Hraction of the precious or money
metals has occupied man and capital
with fascinating interest for cen.
turtles. The fact that almost every
other line of human enterprise is
more or less subject to monopoly and
to trust combinations, makes min
ing a unique industry. 1t is prac-
tically the only field today in which
the poor struggling prospector has
an equal chance with the owner of
untold millions.
AS a business, considered not from
the speculative but from the con-
sentative side, it offers greater re-
turns than any known occupation.
There are two phases of mining. One
is the speculative side, and the other
is the mining. In this latter light,
mining is nothing more or less than
a manufacturing. industry; just as
steel Is a finished product from raw
materials. so are gold and silver
finished products Of ore and quartz.
The west, though it has produced
marvelously, has, from a mining
standpoint, hardly been prospected.
AS railroad transportation has reach
ed remote sections Of the west, as
freight rates are slowly diminishing;
and as improved metallurgical pro-
cesses are constantly reducing the
cost of production, mining has ap-
proximated more a solid basis.
Mining as a business is highly sue
cessful. Conducted in an honest and
intelligent manner there are few
failures connected with it. There are
failures, it is true, but wherever 1t
has been pursued as a business, as in
South Africa, on the Mother lode of
California; in Virginia City, Nevada;
at the Treadwell mine or Douglas Is
land; on the Homestake in the Black
Hills; at Butte City, Montana, or
Jerome, Arizona, immense fortunes
and tremendous rises in values have
been the rule.
1t is in successfully managing the
mine. ihany mining companies go
to pieces on expensive and l~uxuriantly
furnished offices and high salaries.
No business on earth can stand so
per cent of it's income paid in the
non-productive investments of Fiscal
Agents, commissions and high
salaries.
Mining requires that the very larg-
est possible per cent of capital raised
should go into development under the
direction of experts, in work that
developes, in work that counts, in
profitable returns. Mines are actual
ly found by miners, ~prospectors, and
those familiar with the hills and with
formations. Most of the great mines

GLADSTONE HAS A BRAINSToRM

Paul Clagstone, speaker of the
House of Representatives of the tenth
session of the Idaho Legislature, has
experienced brain storm. He is now
engaged in the local option campaign
in Kootenai county in the interests
of the drys, but more particularly in
the interests of his own gubernatorial
campaign. Mr.. Clagstone is young
man of some ability and great ex-
pectations. His main purpose in life
just now is to secure the republican
nomination for Governor. To that end
he thought a sensation requisite, so
he Immediately sprung one. He charg-
ed that rooms 43 and A of the Idanha
hotel at Boise were converted into
free, wide-open saloon during the
session of the legislature, for the pur-
pose of more easily corrupting mem
bers of the legislature. The inference
is unmistakable that members were
thus corrupted. Speaker Clagstone

member of being corrupted. The
people of Idaho want to know who
they are Canyon county, for instance
wants to know whether the speaker
suspects Senator Shawhan or Rep
resehtative Thompson, Duval or
Patch of being corrupted by free
booze in the Idanha hotel He has nc
right to lay open to suspicion all the
members of the tenth session. Every
county in Idaho feels as does Can
yon county. Is Mr. Clagstone really
to follow up his charge. If so, why
did he wait until this late date? The
Tribune is convinced that the genial
speaker was carried away in the
warmth of the campaign and suspects
that members of the tenth session
will not take kindly to the charge
made as 1t is. If we were a member
of that body we would demand specific
charges at the hands of Speaker
Clagstone. No man can afford to re-
main quiet In the face of such ac-
cusatlons. Who was the man easily
corrupted by having free booze? The
people want to know,

The POLITICAL SITUATION
The Grangeville Globe thus handles
the Idaho political situation:

the Idaho political situation:
Verify, it is a matter of joy un-
speakable to know that "a prophet is
without honor in our own country, ,,
otherwise all Idaho candidates and
their numerous friends would be
sweating blood these delightful au-
tumn days, instead of going along
quietly Saving wood" and keep the
off ear well lowered to catch the first
ground swell. The would-be political
seers and manipulators of the black
art have done such villainous work
trying to combine the varied political
interests of the state, that they have
earned the whitening contempt of even
the veriest political tyros. Brady has
been yoked up with Hamer by one and
with French by another, and both of
those gentlemen have been presented
with the "hearty support of Senator
Borah," willy-nilly; while still an
other has announced that the Mormon
hierarchy, has taken steps to divorce
itself from Hamer in order to wed
French, this being the case where it
couldn't steal them both. Barney
O'Neil, for governor from the north,
and Hamer for congress from the
south, have been combined to effectu

WASHINGTON COUNTY ELECTION

Washington county is in the throes
of an antl-saloon campaign. The
two sides are working with vim and
vigor. Each is putting forth its best
efforts to win. From this distance
We cannot say which side has the
better of the fight. We would nat
urally suppose that the drys would
win out. The people of Washington
county are much the same class as
are the people of Canyon county. We
are of the opinion that that county
is settled by an enterprising intelli-
gent and progressive people. II it is
true the outcome of the fight will
certainly be dry Only in it's strong
holds has the liquor interests a
chance of continuing it's traffic.
Among the vicious of the city, and
the depraved of the country has the
| saloon its strongest cohorts. The
business drawing qualities of the sa-
loon was long ago proven to be moth
ing. When the business men realized
that the saloon was an injury rather
| than a benefit to them they ceased
to work for it's continuance. 1t is
remarkable that the business inter
ests were so long under the impress
sion that two or three saloons, In
town were the bulwark and main
stay of the town. The most that
the saloon men themselves claim now
is that the institution attracts and
holds the trade of the sheep herder
Perhaps it does but the community
that permits saloons for the sake O.
the sheep herders' trade is paying
an awful price for its trade.

of the matter laid before President
Taft in connection with the case,

has fallen flat. The only charge
made that will stand is that Secretly
Ballinger urged Mr. CLAWS to bring
the Cunningham cases to a quick and

be a serious charge. The rest of
the expose is simply a repetition of

press and politicians without stint or
sence. There was no limit to the
denunciation he received. Along in
1891, and up to 1895, the democrats
got into power and controlled the
House of Representatives. They
elected Charles F. Crisp of Georgia,
Speaker. Did they change the rules?
You bet they didn't. Car Reeds

CLAWS FALLS FLAT

Ever since President Taft author
lied Secretary Ballinger to depose
l.. r. CLAWS from the position of
division chief In the field service of
the general land office, the people
have been awaiting the expose prom
ised. 1t came this week through
that muck -raking medium, Golfers
Weekly. The expose must have
caused tears of sorrow in Golfers
office when the weakness of the
exposure was fully realized and APP
preelated. Mr. CLAWS first assumes
that the Alaska coal applications
were made for the purpose of fraud
nlently securing the lands. Happily

fering any proof of the fraud of the

questions the people want answered
before they will elect a man to con-
gress solely on the issue of Cannon
ism. We think that The Tribune has
been one of Mr.. French's most loyal
supporters since he first ran for con-
gress. We have admired and respect
ed him. We feel that he ably rep
resented Idaho and could do SO
again. We wanted to see him NOM
mated at the last state convention
and were disappointed that he was
not. Perhaps we would support him
again, bu we could not do so soley on
the issue of his opposition to Speaker
Cannon.

FRENCH MAKES AN ADDRESS

Former Congressman Burton a.
French has addressed an open letter
to Mr.. H. v. Williams of Standpoint,
a copy of which is at hand In this
address Mr.. French states his position
on a number of public questions and
incidentally paves the way for his
campaign for the Republican congress
sional nomination. We judge from
the letter that the unpopularity of
ton. We judge from the letter that
Joseph G. Cannon is the vehicle in
which Mr.. French hopes to ride into
favor. His letter is largely devoted
to the iniquity of the present rules
of the House and the tyranny of
Speaker Cannon. We fear h" n
French has deceived himself of the
portency of his issue. The per-
sonality of man back in Illinois,
though he be speaker, is hardly likely
to arouse much interest in Idaho,
nouncing him as fiercely as does Mr..
French. If Speaker Cannon be the
issue, he should win who can most
scathinyIy denounce this prominent
American statesman. The issue
looks to us a little fiimsy. In case
Speaker Cannon is defeated who will
be elected? And to what extent will
the rule be changed? How will things
be bettered? Mr.. French will easily
