474 WEST SHORE. The Graham mill and other property, owned by an English company, and sold at Sheriff1 tale last week, went for next to nothing, the Idaho World ii informed. The mill, one of the finest in the territory, put up at a cost of $.350,000, was sold for $9,500, and the thirteen mines, tramway, buildings and other property, brought only $500. It is said that this English com pany has expended, all told, In the neighborhood of $1,000,000. " Tliis," remarks the Ketchum Keyitont, " is another instance of remarkably bad management, a monument of folly and ill advised operation. It is only another illustration of the fully of constructing costly reduction mills and smelting furnaces be fore mining prortles are sufficiently opened to ascertain by development work whether or not they powess merit and value enough to warrant the expenditure of such large sums of money for the erection of colloesul works. All such absurd, and to all intents and purposes, visionary operations, have in a measure been the caue of retarding the mining industry, intimidating capital and bankrupting unsuspecting promoters of mining en terprises more than any other thing connected with the mining business." The largest fig orchard in the United States, says the Los Angeles Champion, is about to be set in Pomona valley, be tween Pomona and Ontario. The orchard will consist of 11,000 white Adriutlo and 5,000 Smyrna fig trees, planted eighty to the acre on 200 acres. The total product of the mines on the Comstock lode, Nev ada, for the quarter ending the first of October was $835,410.32. For the preceding quarter the production of the same mines amount -d to $1 350,000. A FAMOUS WOMAN AND WHAT SHE SAYS Of A PAUnn. ARTICLE, U A Clear, Conclie, Conscientious CertiAcate.
