"Only two of you men can work
here at once" put in hastily. Hold
on, Johnson, until we get this ship
shape. An axman, with helper to
haul back the ice out Of the way, is
all we need. Any more would only
be in the way; besides, some of us
ought to be on deck. 1t is going to re-
quire hours, maybe days, to get that
chest out, and meanwhile we must sail
this vessel and keep her right side up.
The thing to do is to arrange relays,
and keep at it steady. Johnson, you

of us will climb up into the cabin, and

They went along WITH me UP the
ladder as though they were prisoners,
casting the last lingering glances be-
low, where the weird flame Of the
candle flickered yellow, the blows OF
the cleaver echoing sharply as they
clustered about the stove, welcoming
the warmth Of it. 1t had been frigid
below decks, although we had been
scarcely conscious Of It in our excite
ment. But now we stood shivering,
gazing into each others faces and
actually afraid to talk lest the whole
occurrence should prove a dream from
which a chance word might awaken
us. Three million pesos-here, actu-
ally here; almost within reach OF our
hands; they were digging for them
just below; even then, in the silence,
we could hear the faint echo OF blows
being struck against the ice. Three
million pesos!-and it was all ours,
our very own-to divide, to spend, to
do with exactly as we pleased. We
had dreamed about all this before, on
the decks of the Inflated Sea Queen,
but now we sought to grasp it as an

The simple words, the tone of their
utterance brought me to myself as
though I had received an electric
shock. She was still smiling. yet all
at once l noticed how white her face
was, how dark the shadows beneath
her eyes. The lure Of the gold van

The creeks and rivers of the Salmon
have a recorded gold production OF
over $25,000,000. (Siskiyou's record
approximates $150,000,000.) Very
nearly all this has been produced with
out capital other than the labor Of the
miners engaged and the very limited
financial means at their command. In
other words, this section has devel-
oped it by its own resources. Hydrau-
lie and placer mining is still usually
carried on by the crude methods OF
fifty years ago, or at least with in
! adequate equipment. On the main
streams there Is yet available consid-
cradle ground suitable for the dredger

and yet plenty of individual space.
The village of Darlington already
has two stores, an up-to-date cream
cry and the o. S. l.. is planning to
locate stockyard there.
In conclusion we wish to say just
a few words about this man who is
doing things: Mr.. Wayne Darlington,
by profession is mining engineer,
and has operated in the Lost river
valley for the past % years. 1t was
he that was SO grealy instrumental in
developing the property of the White
Knob Mining company. He built the
smelter at Mackay and in fact he laid
out and plated the townsitee of Mac
kay. 1t was also through his own
individual efforts that E. H. Harri-
man was brought to realize that it
would be to the advantage of his
great railroad system to build the
road from Blackfoot to Mackay. And
yet Mr.. Darlington is modest in his
claims and although we have hardly
given him credit for half he has &C
complished we are compelled out of
Difference to this same modesty of
his to bring this brief sketch to a
close.

THE STATE BANK OF MACKAY

The State Bank of Mackay was es-
tablished little less than three years
ago, with a capital stock of $4,000.
For the first two years it's growth
was no different than that of the av-
erage young banking house strug-
Cling for a foothold in the face of
strong but honorable opposition.
However, September Of last marked
the infusion of new life in this insti-
tuition, and since then its deposits
have more than quadrupled' In fact
this bank is numbered among the
best managed and most reliable
financial institutions in the state of
Idaho.
There are many factors that have
played important parts in the growth
of this institution. Chief of which
are. Confidence in it's directorate,
its policy of conservatism which has
been without prejudice to progress,
we think it just, however, to give the
lions share of the credit to Mr.. A. J..
Fowler, cashier, for the bank has GER
tainly made it's greatest progress I'M
der his management. Mr. Fowler.
Is young man and hustler, and not
only that but he possesses other very
commendable qualities that make
him valuable to such an institution.
The officers of the State Bank of
Mackay are:
ID. A. Jones, president.
w. H. Folkner, vice president.
A. l.. Fowler, cashier.
John H. Wall assistant cashier.
They are all well known business
men whose names inspire confidence
which, as stated before accounts in
large measure for the prosperous con-
dition of the State Bank of Mackay.

A group of men whose names
stand for solidity. With the excep-
ton of Mr.. Archbold, who is young
man, all are pioneers, who have done
fully their share in developing the
resources of this section of the state.
And if a record of their individual
achievements was to be published it
would require many times the space
available in this publication.
Therefore, let it be sufficient to
state, that to men of the same cali
bre as these hardy pioneers and sur
viyOrs of lean years such as this coun-
try will never see again-do the peo-
pie of the Lost river country owe an
everlasting dept of gratitude for had
it not been for such men-the coun-
try would still be dry and barren
waste-the same as it was forty years
ago. For not only did these men
prosper but they shared their pros
perity with others, and dared to take
chances in investments that have not
only paid them big dividends, but
have greatly benefited everyone with
interests in this section.

Established in 1904, the firm of
w. G. jenkins & Co., Bankers, is
therefore the pioneer banking house
of Mackay. Moreover, it has by ever
looking after the interests of its pat
rons, made it's name synonymous
with all those qualities so much to
be desired in finacial institution of
its kind.

financial condition of this bank, on

RAISING POULTRY.

One of the neglected industries
of Louisiana during the past years,
and up to tho present. is poultry
raising; yet, when properly man
aged, the poultry yard next TO tho
homo garden is probably the best
paying part of the farm. 1t in.
wolves little expense when the feed
is produced on the farW; aud the
returns from poultry aud eggs arc
certain. There is today an almost
unlimited market for the products
Of the poultry yard; and there is
no evidence that future demands
will diminish. 1t 10 true that GER
tain parts of the State in it's CEN
trail portion they are building up
this business; but, 40 q whole,
Louisiana is not giving to poultry
raising the tenth part of the at
tention it deserves. The great es-
eeDtials in raising poultry are
clean and sanitary surroundings,
abundance of green food which
can be produced the year round in
our State, aud improvement in
breads by the use of pure males
from chosen varieties. Dept. Agri
