IDAHO LEADS IN AGRICULTURE.

Idaho is now looked upon as a
leading state in a great many things.
The east recognizes especially the
quality of her products and there Is a
scramble from the best markets for
her produce. The Gem state, accord
ing to the census of agriculture in 1910,
which has recently been issued by the
director of the U. S. census bureau,
department of commerce, also show.
the largest increase in the value of. it's
crops in, 1909 as compared with the
year 1899, of any state in the union.
The crops Of Idaho in 1909 increased
in value 2707 per cent over their value
in 1899. The value of the crops (at the
farm) in 1909 was $S4,35S.OOO. Idaho's
principal crops, according to the report
were hay, forage, wheat and oats.
According to a recent issue of the
New York Sun, Idahos buckwheat is
in great demand by the leading res

WHAT is A MINING CLAIM?
Interesting Extract From Decision ir
a Montana Case,

In determining that the Northern
Pacific Railway company's reservation
of all minerals in lands granted to it
by the United States and conveyed by
the company, is taxable as an enter
est in land" and is not exempt from
taxation under the Montana constitu-
ton, which provides that ''mines and
mining claims" after purchase thereof
from the United States, shall be taxed
at the price paid the United States
therefor, the Montana supreme court
said in the recent case of Northern
Pacific Railway Co. VS.. Mjelde, 1877

tlon OF -. rules of construction
leads us to the conclusion that

Gates tract OF land to which the right
of possession or title has been acquired
pursuant to the acts of congress re-
lating to the disposition of mineral
lands, including coal lands, and that

NEW LEAD MINE N

Wood River district Of Idaho, says the
White Pine News,
The Utah Bellevue Mines company
OF which Kelley is the principal stock
holder Is preparing for extensive de-
velopment work as soon as weather
conditions will permit.
A. w. Kelley discovered and located
for the United Bellevue company the
Last Chance group of three claims.
They lie along the strike of a mineral
zone that can be traced across the
country for several miles. In the light
Of subsequent developments, which
have uncovered rich ore since Kelley's
location 1t was curious to find evil
dences that the old prospectors sought
only for gray copper. but within four
feet of the surface Kelley found a vein
widening out to four feet selected por-
tions Of which assayed sos a ton in
lead-silver, zinc and gold.
Between the time of location and the
closing in Of winter, the company un-
der the direction of Kelley sunk on the
vein a distance of SO feet The ore
body widened to seven feet at that
depth and become more uniform in its
contents of silver and lead. 1t shows
an average of $50 a ton.
The claims are in the heart of the
district with producing mines in all d-
rections. AS in all prospects in the dis
trict the surface ores run largely to |
zinc, but change to slver-lead as
depth is attained. The property Is
well located from shipping stand
point. requiring only three and a
half mile haul to the o. s. L. railroad
at Bellevue, whence 1t is brought to
Salt Lake for treatment.

AND MOUTH
DISEASE SPREADS
GOVERNOR PROCLAIMS QUAR-
ANTINE AGAINST PRACTI-
CALLY ALL STATES

On ccoun of the outbreak of the
foot and mouth disease among live
stock in Montana, the fourteenth
state to be quarantined by the fed
eral authorities in consequence of
the prevalence of the malady, Gov
ernor T. l.. Oddie has supplemented
his proclamation of November Is
establishing a quarantine in Nevada
by extending the prohibition upon
the importation of livestock against
all states of the Union except Cali
fornia.
In a letter referring to the latest
proclamation of Governor eddie,
which he is sending out, DR.. w. B.
Mack of the Nevada State quarantine
board says:
"As the disease spreads very rap
idly and is SO highly contagious, the
situation is acute and the most
drastic measures are needed to con
troll it. Our livestock men are fully
aware of the danger in the present
situation and are insisting upon the
most rigid regulations to protect our
herds. Montana makes fourteen
states that are now under federal
quarantine. No permits will be is
sued for the entrance of livestock
into Nevada from eastern points un-
til the federal authorities are GER
tain that they have the disease un-
der control. This is necessary to
prevent, if possible, the spread of
this disease into Nevada herds. 1t
is hoped that these drastic measures
will not be needed for long, that the
danger may soon abate and that
after a brief time we may be able to
resume gradually normal livestock
Shipments."
