sEAFoAM DISTRICT.


1t has been my lot to be coun-
ted one among the hundreds of
prospectors that have been at
tracted here by the Thunder Mt.
excitement. Seeing the different
reports in the Statesman while
in Alaska, made up my mind to
try my lot there; but being too
late to get an extension of the
wonderful Dewey, Rainbow or
Sunnyside mine, like many 9th
ers have wandered away to 9th
er fields to hunt something new
on the same belt.
must say to my many friends
| have been to mining excite
ments in Colorado, Arizona, New
Mexico, Utah and Alaska, but |
have never seen a finer mineral
belt than this Seafoam district.
Like all other camps, it takes
capital to put in reduction works
(Which prospectors are not able
to do) to handle their ore. Here
at Seafoam are large veins run
ming through these mountains
with hundreds of tons of ore
lying on the dumps or in sight
waiting for capital to put in mills
and reduction works.
There is ore that will mill from
$40 in gold and 100 ounces in
silver and ore that has miIled
S4O0 in gold and 500 in silver and
40 per cent lead.
AS nearly as [ can learn one
amongst the strongest leads I'll
have ever seen is the famous
Seafoam group of six or eight
owned by I. w. Pfost of
Boise, held by him since 1888.
He has done lots of work, but
like all men, is waiting for re-
duction works. 1t the Seafoam
were known to exist in Colorado
or any where but Idaho, it would
soon be selling at a high figure.
Also on this lead is the Eureka
group of six or eight claims,
owned by Duffy & Clum. 1t has
tons of ore on the dump; also
the Greyhound group. owned by
Bowling brothers, John Early
and others, with as large a pay
ore shoot as the Seafoam. The
Bulldog and Susie d and others.
All of these claims lie in from 10
10 10 miles of the State wagon
'oad at Cape Horn. If Lewis
in getting his road
through to Thunder Mountain it
will run within one to three
niles of any of these claims. I
ton't think it will cost to exceed
$1,000 to build a road to Seafoam.
which is the center of all these
mines, and a lovely place for a
own.-Wm. H. Bott, in Boise

VIEWS OF AN EXPERT.


H. L. Hollister, a prominent
mining man and promoter OF
Idaho, has recently returned from
Thunder mountain. He made a
very thorough examination of
the district.
The Dewey mine, he says for
the amount of work done on it.
is the most wonderful mine he
ever beheld. Other claims to
the northeast all show high val :
ues with but little development.
There is every indication that
these values will increase as
depth is reached, and that the
Lodges are there is demonstrated
by the fact that large dykes pro-
trude up into the air from the
face of the mountain like white
monuments, which are composed
OF porphyry and conglomerate,
and, contrary to all mining rules,
carry the values which make
this region famous and will make
it known world wide.
1t is a low grade proposition,
but place for big men with
large capacity. That there will
be wonderful mines developed,
and not a few of them, is to my
mind equally apparent, and that
there will be great influx of
people into that region this sum
mer there can be no doubt. 1t
will show the richest values in
the near future of any in all this
western country, if not in the
whole known world.

GENERAL DE WET.

n Sood many people are uatur-
al hero worshippers. To such
we commend the Boer General
DeWet. He energies from the
great Boer-British war covered
with glory, the very grandest
figure of the contest. He seemed
to have made a covenant with
his own soul to make the best
fight he could and leave the re-
suit to God. From the first he
fought against hopeless odds; he
braved every danger, endured
every hardship; when all seemed
hopelessly lost, his resourceful
mind planned and executed new
attacks and new defenses; he
was ubiquitous; he put aside
fatigue and smiled at danger; as
his followers grew few he multi
piled himself into a host in his
country's defense; he never ex-
ulted, never despaired, never
complained, but fought on and
on, keeping the contract that he
had made with his soul and keep
ing his own books until thew
should balance and he would
know what Fate had decreed.
He forgot the elements, never
thought of the heat or the cold;
when he had no food he fought
on without it; his bed was the
ground, his side walls the biz
Yard, his roof the sky; for three
years he faced daily overwhelm-
ing odds; he asked nothing of !

follow where he led; thus grim.
