The result is largely due to the unfortunate turmoil between the stock growers nad the people of Johnson county, It served to divide the state into hostile camps, distracted public attention and imposed increased burdens on the tax- payers. ‘There is, how wotable evidence of progress.

The famous Ontario mine passed a dividend, and in addition had disbursed a surplus of $450,000. Some of the Bingham mines are about to close unless the miners agree to a reduction. At Tintic some of the chief mines have been shut down, and the cut in wages will be proposed about the 15th of January.

The Butte and Boston's smelting plant was de stroyed by fire early in_the year and opera- tions were not resumed till late in autumn, which decroased its output one-half.

The reduction of gold ores by the cyanide process has been introduced in different parts of the state, notably in Madison county, and_has proved a success in the treatment of refractory low grade ores.

Behind the diamond excitement, the opal rush and the placer stampede, there has been a healthful growth in all business lines in Idahg. In the past Idaho has depended more on the mining industry than on any of her oth resour It was first her rich | placers that caused the rush thirty or more | years ago to its gulches and busins by people in search of gold. Next came the quartz lodes with their gold, silver, lead and copper ores, and it was these lodes that brought to the then fair tes the t amount of capital requisite to do mining. As long as the metals kept up in price | there were prosperous times in Idaho and citizens were so much engrossed in mining s to leave the tilling of the soil almost en- tirely neglected. However, it was always a great grazing country ever since men boegan to make their homes there. Gradually a few men turned their attention to tilling the soil until this branch of industry has become | more popular and to it is mostly due the ty which crowned the state during the year just closed. There ave few if any states which have richer soll and finer climate, and where farming is easier than in Idaho, wherever a suflicient amount secured to thoroughly irrigate, ! With this great requisite the product of all field crops and of fruits are simply phe- nomenal, both in quantity and quality. S ago the common fruits wer v in the territory, and then it generally came from the outside. The change is best illustrated in the fact that during the past summer and fall the Oregon Short’ Line hauled carload lots of apples, peaches, pears, prunes and grapes to citie eostward, chiefly De verand Omaha. to take the place of Cali- fornia fruits which had heretofore supplied | their market The favor which fruit grown in the Snake river valley has gained, ing the planting of many orchards and not need a prophet to predict that the next five or ten years that section of | country will become almost a solid ol and as noted for fruits as Californ been in the past.
