BANNER NINE
PROGRESSING
Great Wealth Which Will Me.ke
the Owyhee Mining District
Foremost in Idaho

The Banner Mine is coming to the
front as fast as conditions will permit.
The mill is ready in every detail, except
fuel and supplies. which cannot as yet
be shipped in OH account of road con-
ditions, to turn out as much or more
bullion per ton than any mine that has
ever been discovered in the Owyhee
district. There is now two hundred
tons Of ore ready for the mill and more
being added every day as the property
is being developed as fast as possible.
Assays are running as high as $4,000 O0
and over and the management is very
anxious to get the mill into operation.
AS matter Of fact the Banner Company
does not care whether they get news
paper notoriety or not as they have no
stock for sale.
1t is almost foregone conclusion that
Silver City will enjoy more prosperity
and better times generally this summer
than she has for many years. New
business enterprises springing up in
the camp and other indications seem to
warrant the fact that this will be one
of the busiest mining camps in Idaho.

FIRST CROP PAYS FOR LAND
This is Claim Made for Farming
Tracts in Wyoming.
DRY FARMING METHODS USED
FInx f. Principal Crop, Though
wheat, Oats ana Vegetables
Arc Grown with En-
cOurngiBE Success.

The land where one crop pays-for the
land" is the sign that attracts Land
show visitors at the Coliseum.
People wonder where this land can be
and frequently laugh at the Idea, but they
are soon convinced after q talk with c.
L. Beatty. the man IN charge, who ex-
plains that the exhibit comes from Pine
Bluff, the first station in Wyoming on
the main line OF the Union Pacific.
The Pine Bluff proposition Is one Of
dry farming ana one where the system
has proven a great success, as there has
never been crop failure.
Prior TO 1895 the country around Pine
Bluff was given over to the cattlemen,
though a small Swedish settlement was
established farther north as early as
1887. In 1896 after the Roosevelt order for
fonces to como down, the country settled
rapidly and since then settlers have been
pouring in and buying land, much Of
which remains for purchase at SIS per
acre on easy terms and crop payments.
This land, according 20 Mr.. Beatty, will
produce crop, the returns from which
the first year pay for the land. This
crop is flax. something that Is a sure
revenue Of from $40 to SIS per acre.
Although dry farming Is carried on in
this section Of Wyoming, the average an
nual rainfall Is eighteen inches, ten and
one-half inches Of It falling during the
four growing months Of the year
On the high. level table land wheat
Yields from ten to forty bushels per acre.
and oats twenty-five 70 forty Weighing
as high as forty-four pounds to the
bushel. II is a natural alfalfa country
the land producing two cuttings per year
and the yield running from two to three
tons per acre. Taxes are low, this year
having been 1928 per 100 acres.
Although no claims are made to this
section OF Wyoming being a corn country.
this year this cereal is yielding twenty
five bushels per acre. The finest veg
ctables In the world are raised, all grow
Ing TO enormous size.
In 1909 Pine Bluff shipped more oats
than any station on the Union Pacific
between Grand Island and the west line
Of Wyoming.
Since locating in Pine Bluff Mr.. Beatty
alone has located more than 1000 families
on farms in the vicinity, which simply
gives an idea of the rapid growth of that
portion OF the state.
