Thunder Mountain

R. W. Purdum has returned
from six weeks trip to the Thun-
der Mountain country. He will
90 back again next Monday, and
remain until snow flies.
Mr.. Purdum says the country is
of the kind that must be seen to
be appreciated. He says it will
make the greatest camp of this
northwestern country. Every inch
Of advance in the development Of
the mines belonging to Colonel
Dewey and others gives an addi-
tional value to them, as showing
their immensity and value.
MIR. Purdum assisted in making
the surveys of the Dewey proper
ties, which cover, in his opinion,
the richest ground in the United
States. He says the facts and
figures are such as TO give one the
impression that the Thunder
Mountain country is going to
make the richest section of the
northwest, and possibly Of tn.
lcountry.

Work began today on the Idaho

put in to enable the material to be
unloaded to advantage have been

possible it has been hlished in the

There is one Southern Idaho

markable for an unselfsh and
earnest effort toward the better
mrnt Of his state. We refer to
Col. W. II. Dewey. He came to
this state as early as '63, and with
pride and firm belief in its re-
sources, he Immediately began the
work of development in a hitherto
rough and almost untouched re-
g;on. During the years spent here
Col. Dewey has builded fortunes
for himself and others. He gave
an impetus to the mining indus

rich districts, which be sold out

access to market was needful fol
