IDAHO NINE OUTPUT
IN 1918 LESS THAN 1917


The value Of the gold, silver, cop
per, lead, and zinc mined in Idaho
in 1918, according to the estimate
of C. N. Gerry, of the United States
Geological Survey, Department of
the Interior, was about $38, 900
decided decrease of $16,7OO,OO0
from the value in 1917. The de-
crease was marked in all the metals
but gold, as well as in the total value
of the output. Even the value Of
the silver, which increased in price
during the year. was less by more
than 100000. Many OF the mines,
particularly the smaller ones, were
handicapped on account of the scar
city of labor. and even the larger
mines were at great expense on ae-
count of the increase in cost of
freight, treatment. and supplies.
The mine production of gold in Ida
no increased from $SO4,s09 in 1917
to about $4,000 in 1918. The most
important gold production came from
the Sherman and Corporal property,
in Idaho county. Close to this was
the output OF the Gold Hill and Iowa
mines, in Boise county. A considera-
BILE output of gold has its source in
the copper ore from Mackay. In Gus
ter county. Although the Boston and
Idaho dredge at Idaho City was OPP
awa4ad Rnp a time dvxwgww 1ha r,na~
the total gold from dredging opera
lions was considerably decreased.
The plant of the Kirtley Creek Co.,
In Lemhi county, made only small
production previous to being dis
mantled. and the dredge at Pierce
had only slight output.
The mine output of silver de-
creased from 12.O29,3ss ounces in
1917 to about 9.595,O0O ounces in
1918, an unusual decline OF nearly
30 per cent. and the value decreased
from $9.912.175 to about $685.
00e.
The mine output OF copper de-
creased from 7,S27.574 pounds in
1917 to about $1.2s6.OO0. The EN-
pire Copper Co.. at Mackay, was the
largest producer but did not uphold
Its record of the last few years The
National Copper mine, near Mullan,
produced considerable copper from
concentrate. and the Richmond mine,
farther east. made shipments OF
crude ore. There were also smaller
shipments from mines near Salmon,
In -Lemhi county.
The mine output Of lead. which ia
the most abundant metal in Idaho
decreased from 3sS,559.521 pounds
in 1917 to about s00.774.O00 in
1918. The average price was some.

IDAHO STANDS HIGH
HEALTH STATISTICS

According to statistics recently
published by the United States public
health service, compiled from army
records, of the traces Of veneral dis
ease found in drafted men from each
state in the Union, Idaho men show
ed remarkable freedom Oregon
standing first and the Gem state sec
ond-Oregon's percentage being O.5S
and Idaho's O.76. This constitutes
an excellent record for both western
states, as compared with New York,
1872 per cent; Missouri, $50 per
cent, and Florida $50 per cent.
The figures were taken from exam
nations of 10000 men from each
state. The percentage may be easily
arrived at by taking the percentage Of
Maine, 2O2, which means that out
Of every 10000 draftees from that
state. 2O2 were affected with veneral
disease.
Many Had Disease.
According to the records and sta
tistics, 3 per cent OF the first million
draftees had a veneral disease when
they reported at camp. This means
that five-sixths of the veneral disease
in the army is brought in at time Of
mobilization. The large proportion
of cases originating in civil life is
partly due to the long period during
which exposure to disease is possible.
The protection against possible infec-
ton given to soldiers is far better
than that given most men and boys
in civil life.
Veneral disease constituted the
greatest cause of disability in the ar
my, an average of six soldiers, both
married and single, having traces of
disease out of every 100 men.
Urges Fight BE Made.
The surgeon general and other au-
thorities say civilian communities are
largely responsible for such a eondi-
tion, because they had been afraid to
attack the problem OF veneral dis
ease. The surgeon general now
urges that an communities institute
vigorous fight against such diseas-
IS, by installing free infirmaries. and
establishing laws that would make
the acquisition of such diseases pun
lshable. 1t is a matter of record that
out of 1000 men examined at one
time, only % were free from disease,
condition that If allowed to exist
will work havoc with the health OF
the nation and It's children.

to the mind of the reader:

were the means of restoring me to

ARE WAR EMERGENCY
METHODS TO CONTINUED

Washington, d. c., Dec. 30.-The
unity of purpose that inspired labor
and capital in war time constituted
one OF the finest exhibitions Of loyal

lions are arising out Of the insiBtence
by various interests that conditions
be recognized as permanent which
were clearly adopted to meet war
emergencies. The people or the coun-
try expect that prices will fall, but 1t
is hardly tribute to human nature
to observe that most producers want
the reductions to descend on some
other than themselves. In these col
umns we have considered that affairs

HONOR FARM" PROPOSED.
Prison Inmates to Work Without
Being Constantly Guarded.

ATLANTA. Ga, December 27-
Plans for an "honor farm authorized
by Congress. where about 200 picked
men from the Atlanta federal peni-
tentiary will work, were announced
tonight by Warden Fred Zerbst.
There will be guards as super
visors. Mr.. Zerbst said, but he plans
to have the prisoners work without
being behind bars and without being
constantly under guard. The land.
about 1,400 acres, near Panthersville
suburb. already has been purchased
and Mr.. Zerbst said he hoped to have
the farm started by spring.
Intensive methods will be used in
production of truck and dairy prod
ucts, which will be used at the fed
eral penitentiary. only prisoners
who are willing to WORK hard and
study especially to ft themselves for
their duties will be allowed to re-
main on the farm, and il is planned
for them to get share of the pro-
ceeds a number of prisoners already
are taking correspondence courses in
agriculture, MIR. Zerbst said
