METAL PRODUCTION OF IDAHO
Value OF Output Increased About
S2,35O,00O in 1912.

The value of the mine output of pre-
clous and semiprecious metals in Ida
no in 1912, according to G. n. Gerry, of
the United States Geological Survey
was $21, 466,521, against $19,100,S94 in
1911.
The production of gold was valued
at $1,3S1,214 only slightly more than
in 1911. The yield from deep mines
was about 100000 less in 1912 than in
1911, but the yield recovered by dredg-
ing and other placer mining methods
was $2SS,000 larger.
The silver output was S,294,745
ounces, an increase of less than per
cent. About 81 per cent of the silver
was derived from lead ores and 6 per
cent from lead-zinc ores.
The production of copper increased
from 5,152,937 pounds, valued at s644,-
III, in 1911, to 7,492,152 pounds, valued
at S1,236, POS in 1912, although the

Brady Gets Relief Tor Settlers.

Senator Brady, the settlers of the Fort
Hall reservation have been given re-
lief from the payment of excessive
water fees to the government and 9TH
er injustices which they have been
past.
Soon after reaching Washington
Senator Brady visited the department
in behalf of these settlers and laid be-
fore the secretary all the facts in the
case, and convinced the secretary that
the settlers were not receiving a
square deal, and that they were suf-
feriing as a result.
He advised the secretary that the

French Wants Pending Land Cases
Expedited.

Representative French has had I'D
with the interior department the Dues
ton of eXpediting a large number of
land cases that are pending before the
secretary of the interior on appeal and
the delay in consideration of which is
causing great hardships and loss to
the persons involved.
Secretary Lane has advised Mr..
| French that there are 220O cases now
on appeal to his office from the gener-
al land office and that these cases in
Volye rights of claimants to home
steads and mineral lands, the claims
OF railroads to land grants and the
claims of western states to school
lands, a multitude of cases involving
land, Indian, water power and other
questions and that have to do with the
rights Of the homesteader upon his
l6O-acre entry to tracts and interests
worth many millions of dollars.
The secretary says that with the
force available in his office it is i'm
possible for him to expedite the con-
sideration of these cases excepting in
such unusual instances where health
or similar questions may be involved,
unless he may be given additional ap-
preparation to enlarge his force that
is assisting him in considering the
cases in question.
Mr.. Lane says he should have $50
600 additional to be used for this pur-
pose and Mr.. French has introduced a
bill calling for an appropriation of
this amount and is pressing the same
before the committee on appropria-
lions in the house.
Mr.. French contends that no saving
can be made to the government by de-
lay over expenses that will need to
be borne ultimately in considering
these questions and that on the other
hand untold loss often results to the
homesteaders or other persons inter-
ested, on account of the delay.

COLORADO COAL PRODUCTION

Coal mining as an industry in 0nAQs
RADIO began in 1864, when prodNo1
OF 800 short tons was recorded
1876 the production reached for the
first time total exceeding 100000
tons, and six years later, in 1882, it
had reached the million-ton mark.
Since that date the increase has been
almost uninterrupted. The produc-
ton exceeded 100000 tons in 1890;
10 years later 1t had grown to over
100000 tons, and in 1910 it exceeded
100000 tons, but in 1912 1t fell Just
below the 11,000,000-ton mark.

canal had never been completed, and
that the maintenance fee had not been
ascertained by the cost of mainten-
ance, but simply charged for the ar
bitrary reason that the same amounts
was charged the year previous.
The hardships caused by the ruling
of the department that all rents be
paid in advance before any water be
turned from the canal, were many. In
some cases the crops had burned up
for lack of water, because the settlers
in a number of cases were unable to
pay the water charges and keep up
the expense of operating their farms.
The senator insisted that it would
be nothing but simple justice that
these settlers be given immediate re-
lief, whereupon the secretary ordered
an investigation of the conditions by
the Indian office.
AS a result of the investigation
which has just closed, the Indian of
flee reports that conditions were
found as represented by Senator
Brady and that they recommended
that the fee be reduced from 81 to so
cents per acre for 1913. The report
has been adopted by the department
and in addition to granting the reduc-
ton of maintenance fee the secretary
wired Mr.. Dietz, superintendent of ir-
rigation in charge of the Fort Hall
system to deliver water without re-
curing payment of charges in adj
vance. The maintenance charge has
been arranged in two payments one
half due July 18th and the balance Oc-
tober 31st, 1913.

NOTES FROM WASHINGTON
Items OF Interest to the People Of
Idaho.
Especial Correspondence
Congress Faces Long Hard Grind,

Washington d. c., July 22.--Like
the mower who rests upon his scythe
handle at the end of the swath, and,
hopping the perspiration from his
brow, contemplates the uncut field be-
fore him, your congressman pauses
these days to look about him and view
the legislative landscape DER.
Here they've been in session since
the first Monday in last December,
barring the interval between March
4th and April 18th, and the prospect is
they will be at it for a couple of
months more, anyhow. Whenever they
do adjourn they will hardly get set
tied down at home before they will
have to pack up to come back in De-
cember for another long spell.
For there is an ambitious program
cut out for the new administration, a
large section of it devolvent upon con-
gressional action. Revising the tariff
is but a portion of it. There is legis-
lation upon various subjects to be
passed, in order that the administra-
. ton may fulfill the pledges of the
Democratic platform so earnestly reg
istered just year ago
Bound to Be Busy Session.
Assuming that currency will be act
changes in the interstate commerce |
law, in the antitrust law, in labor
laws, in immigration laws, in judiciary |
questions, in relations with oversee |
possessions and thousand and one |
other matters. Then there are public |
buildings, river and harbor improve
ments, and other pork barrel items
of legislation. The regular session is
bound to be busy one.
Long Debate Expected.
If anyone can find anything new to
be said about the tariff he will be a
wonder to the veterans about con-
gress. But, of course, there are the
new senators who haven't had their
fling, and full siX-week debate is
expected in the senate. The Republic
cans are not lining up for much of a
struggle. They realize the inevitable,
and, more than that, they want the
Democrats to hurry up and do their
worst, so that the expected reaction |
may set in.
Currency Bill Progresses.
Currency legislation is progressing
slowly, but, it is admitted by con-
gressmen progressing persstently |
and that in the face of almost heart
breaking opposition Despite the hold
ing back, the indifference and in cases |
the absolute disaffection Of some DEM |
ocrats to the presidents currency
plan the bill is going steadily through |
the planning mill.
Vacation Plans Gone A.GIimmering.
long summer of hard work is seen
ahead of congress by the members of
both bodies, and vacation plans have
already gone a-glimmering for the
rank and file. It's mans job, the
work of the world, they say, and they
are buckling down to it with the best
grace possible.

Confidence i'm Senator BOrah.

A little incident in the senate the
other day when a bill in which Sen
ator Borah was interested came I'D for
consideration serves as sufficient
commentary on the estimation in
which he is held by his colleagues to
those who know the ways of the SEN
ate. The bill had just been reported
from the committee and was pressed
for immediate consideration. It was
not very well understood by many
members of the senate, and not
knowing the pressing need for the re-
lief sought to be provided by it, GER
tain senators began to make inquiries
and rose to object. There was no
time to explain but the statement
was made that it was Senator Borah's
bill and the amendments met with his
approval, which was sufficient. OBJ
lection to immediate consideration
was not made and the bill was passed
without opposition.
1t is we'll known that Senator Borah
has been remarkably successful in
getting legislation through the senate
introduced by him Or which he has
had in charge, and while his fighting
qualities and generalship have been
called into full play in pushing mat
tiers like the direct election of sena-
tors, where there has been a funda-
mental difference of opinions of years
standing, there have been several oc-
casions like this where his colleagues
have been willing to rely upon his
judgment in matters which they know
have had his particular attentions, i'm
portant though they have been. so
that he has been able to obtain unus-
ually quick action upon them.
Idaho Congressman Hard at Work.
The vote in the house the other day
which prevented the elimination of
the clause granting the committee.
authority to investigate Mulhall,
power to counsel, illustrates the i'm
portance of the vote of a single men,
Der at times.
There were many members who
were opposed to any investigation.
However, these and others working
with them tried to prevent the en-
ployment of counsel by the committee
that were to investigate into the
charges made.
On the rollcall that was demanded,
the provision was retained in the bill
by the majority of one vote. Repre-
sentatives French and Smith of Idaho
both voted to retain the provision in
the bill and favored the fullest inves-
ugation. Had either one of these
members voted the other way, it would
have changed the results absolutely.
