Mining News.
ONE YEAR QLD.
With this issue of the Mining News
the paper will have run a year. Found
ed for the purpose, primarily at least,
of informing the investing public of the
matchless mineral resources of Idaho
county, and especially that portion lying
, betweep the main Salmon and the mid
dle fork of the Clearwater, tfiis object
has never been lost sight of for a mo
ment. Although at times this paper
has been forced to deviate for a time
from its chosen course to combat flag
rant public abuses, it has kept these
resources and their development con
stantly before the eyes of the mining
world. In this we are glad to say that
with few unimportant exceptions, we
have had the hearty co-operation of the
operators and citions generally, with
the result that, insofar at least as Elk
City district is concerned, it has been
taken from the position of the moat un
favorably known district in the county,
and been plaeed second in importance
only to Thunder Mountain, with the
certainty th$t before her paper's second
birthday she will at least divide honors
even with that great camp.
Like all human affairs, however, in
this as in other enterprises, causes for
regret mingle with causes for congrat
ulation, chief of which in our case is the
lack of ability on the part of the editor
to do full justice to the splendid natural
resources and conditions which surround
him, and the indefensible acts of certain
gentlemen in public life which made it
necessary for the paper to subject them
to severe criticism. In the former case,
all we can say is that the editor will
continue to do his best in the position
accident has placed him; as to the latter
we hope no occasion will arise for other
than friendly criticism. Should such
occasion present itself, however, it will
be dealt with unsparingly.
A PROTEST.
The Mining News is forced, in self
defense and in defense of this district,
to enter a protest against the practice
of two of its exchanges in appropriat
ing mining news from its columns and
rehashing and otherwise altering it till
it ceases to convey any sense, or to
possess the slightest rational meaning
for anyone familiar with the industry
or the surrounding conditions of the
news matter mentioned. Both of these
exchanges pose as technical mining
journals of a high order, which may or
may not account for the lack of sense
conveyed in their record of mere every
day happenings, and their lack of hon
esty in appropriating to their own use
the capital of another newspaper.
While those good people were content
to steal the item and republish it in its
entirety, we did not object, but we do
object to revision at the hands of the
janitor who might, in a spasm of mis
taken righteousness, give credit to this
paper for one of his startling produc
tions, and being an amateur ourselves,
naturally our literary productions are
not of that powerful structure that can,
with impunity, withstand the assaults
nf the amateur.
