White Pine Forests

Idaho boasts of the greatest white pine
forests in the world and in the comparative
ly short life of the lumber industry in this
state-snce the advent of the railroads into
the timbered regions-such a demand has been

called for the installation of saw and planning
mills already valued at nearly $4,000. 900

as much.

Worlds Lead Producer

The greatest lead producing mines in the
world are situated in this fair young state.
The yearly output is fully one-thrd of the
total product of the United States; and assoc
ciated with the lead are silver values which
puts Idaho in a position where its lead can
be mined on an extensive scale at prices so
low to make operations Of mines in many
great lead districts prohibitive.
Home of Red Apple
BY certain class of people, Idaho is called
THE home of the Red Apple" and the phrase
is well applied, as easteraers can bear testi-

crop of the state for 1910 amounts to fully
$2.0OO,OOO.

UNLISTED STOCKS.

j. A. Minnear * Co. say today:
Another week of uncertainty closes
with the situation quite as complex as
it has been for days past. To add TO
the uneasincss came the announce
ment that Steel prices had been cut.
Further bearish influence is felt be-
cause of the damage to tho wheat
crop. ON the contrary the most potent
bull factor is the tremendous short in
tercst i'm the market together with the
easy money.
There was hardly enough Of a cop
per share market TO be worthy of COM
mcnt. Lake furnished the bulk of the
trading and scored a two-point adj
vance. North Butte holds fairly firm.
Montana Clinton offerings under
thirty cents have been cleaned up.

tinuc 20 find their way on the mar
