GOLD AND SILVER IN IDAHO.
Geological Survey Publishes Account of
Deposits in Loon Creek District.

There is one town in the west where
fuel (cokel costs SAG ton. This is
lvers, Idaho, the principal local settle
.ment in the Loon creek mining district.
This high price, however, is due to the
long haul by wagon from Mackay the
nearest railroad point, 10 miles distant.
i The route is difficult because of two high
SUBMITS which must be crossed in addi-
J ton to a 3-mile climb. The cost OF
haulage is ply cents pound for the
! lound trip. When a load can be taken
zach way this is split into ! Y cents in
and cent out.
The Loon creek district comprises an
AREA Of perhaps IS square miles situated
in the northwestern part of Custer
county, Idaho. Plaeers which are vari-
ousiy estimated to have produced from
100000 to 100000 in gold were work
ed actively on Loon creek during the de-
cade closing with 1879. Most of the
white men in the. camp, attracted by
other placer excitements, left the creek
in the middle seventies, but 80 or 30
Cinnamon remained. In 1879 all of these
were massaered save one, who escaped
on snowshoes. At that time il was com
monty supposed the Indians committed

Since then comparatively little mining |
has been done on the creek, though all /

than an ounce being not uncommon.
This gold has a market value of SIS an

also been found in the district. but

MOTHERHOOD
SUGGESTIONS
Advice to Expectant Mothers

The experience of Motherhood is a try
ing one to most women and marks dis
tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not one
woman in hundred is prepared or I'M
derstands how to properly care for her.
self. OF course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at
such times, but many approach the
experience with an organism untitled
for the trial of strength, and when it
is over her system has received a shock
from which it is hard to recover. Fol-
lowing right upon this comes the ner-
vous strain of caring for the child, and
a distinct change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is that,
with all the evidence of shattered nerves
and broken health resulting from an I'M
prepared condition, and with ample time
in which to prepare, women will persist
in going blindly to the trial
Every woman at this time should rely
