Salmon City. Ida, Nov. 80. 1901
Again the hand Of destiny points TO
Idaho, revealing the fact that no west
ern state has greater possibilities.
Thunder mountain is certainly equal to
If not greater than Cripple Creek.
Your correspondent has just completed
a seven weeks trip in the country. near
ana adjacent to this great mountain
Of gold And while the readers of The
Herald have been kept well informed
concerning this district, still there are
new things coming to light each dqv
which must add fuel to the already
brightly burning fame of enthusiasm.
The latest discovery in connection with
this district is a way Of entering the
district which outdOes any line pro
posed or talked Of during the days Of

After many days of weary travel
your correspondent in company with a
number of mining men found that
Thunder mountain could be reached in
two days travel from Salmon CITY.
And the wonder of it all is the fact
that the distance is many miles short
er than any Of the already talked of
routes
In fact, the distance is but 100 miles
from Salmon, and more than one-half
Of this distance is over a we'll Travelled
wagon road; while in making the last
naIt OF the journey but one mountain
range need be crossed.
It is the declared intention Of those
who are interested in the matter to
Keep the road open through the entire
winter season.
On another page Of this issue of The
Herald will be found an advertisement
inserted by the enterprising citizens
and business men Of Salmon, which in
dicates this new route, and so sub
divides the line that it will be inposgi-
bic for any one to be misled.
Salmon City is the most progressive
and up-to-date inland town Of the west.
And although it is seventy miles from
the railroad. yet it has it's electric light
service, waterwOrks and sewage sys-
TEN. And some OF the buildings would
do credit to towns with four times the
population.
Hence in placing before the public
the facts concerning this new wagon
road to the Thunder mountain district.
there can be no other motive than the
advancing Of the best interests Of all
those who are, or may become. interest
ed in this district. These men are not
advancing any wildcat schemes, but
wish to invite that investigation of this
new route which viii prove the aecura-
cy of the assertions made. But they
recognize the fact that honest and ju-
dfcious advertising is the best way to
enlighten the public on all questions
relative to the most feasible way to
reach the district.
Your correspondent was placed in
possession Of all the details and facts
relative to the matter. and we are pre-
pared to most emphatically state that
no other proposed route can come any
where near to the one from Salmon.
Again it is very important point
to bear in mind that the matter Of out
fitting is a very important one, and one
which would be disastrous to any who
should undertake to enter the district
unless fully prepared in the way Of
food supplies and plenty of clothing,
etc. The merchants Of Salmon are
amply prepared to furnish all supplies
and to make such prices which defy
competition from any Of the larger
points along the line.
Any person interested in this matter
can obtain any information by address,
ing the Idaho Recorder Publishing
company or Langsdorf & Co, bankers,
or from any Of the mercantile firms Of
Salmon.
Mail route to Thunder mountain from
Salmon viii be established at once.
