They Stole Hams.

Some time last Friday evening
sneak thieves gained an entrance
TO W. c. Clusters meat market and
stole six choice hams. The thief.
was not discovered until some time
Saturday. and up 10 this time
officers have not been able to get
any trace of the thieves. Upon
examination it was found that they
must have gained an entrance
through the front door BY means
of skeleton key as every entrance
was found to be as Mr.. Custer had
left it the previous night. acouple

THUNDER MOUNTAIN: tt


story of this marvellous region
reads like romance from the
pages of Arabian Nights. Gold
deposits SO vast in extent as to
stagger belief have been discovered
in hitherto unsettled and practic-
ally unexplored district in central
Idaho, and a mountain of ore in
the southern corner OF Idaho
county has become the Mecca to-
ward which thousands of adventur-
GUS spirits will wend their way the
coming spring and summer. And
the district will hold ali that will
go and more. The country is
60 great in size that Connecticut,
with its million inhabitants, would
be lost within its borders. Seven
thousand locations have already
been made, but so big is this Thun
der Mountain country that 10000
more would take up but a small |
part of the mineral bearing ground |
surrounding the first discoveries.
No need of asking you whether
or not you are going The only
question in your mind is "BY what
route shall [ go and how?" The
following facts should dispel that
doubt and cause you to go by the
Wood River route-the only route
that can give you the advantage of
shortest distance; quickest trans
portation; best roads; easiest grades;
unlimited service; spIenid accomo-
dations; freight and passenger

COKE TUNNEL
IS FINISHED
Hole Through the Quakake
Mountain a Success.
Gigantic Project of EckIey
B. Coke to Drain Beaver
Meadow Mines Completed
After Three Years Work.

A tunnel 500 feet in length, feet
wide and feet in heighth has just been
completed under Quakake mountain
that will drain all the Coke works on
the South Side. This contract was
commenced on December -, 1898. The
protector of the tunnel was the late
Eckley b. Coke. whose heirs have faith
fully carried out his plans.
Mr. Coke conceived and drew up the
plans and specifications for the tunnel
in 1884, but owing to the condition that
prevailed at the time it was impossible
to secure an outlet for the tunnel in
Qnakake valley, many of the farmers re-
fusing to dispose of their land. These
landowners later made concessions to
Coke Bros. & Co. that allowed the work
to be commenced in 1898.
The tunnel is driven from the lowest
portion of the Coke works in Beaver
Meadow and will drain all the collieries
of that company which had heretofore
been kept dry by pumps.
The tunnel was commenced on both
sides of the mountain, one entrance be-
ing at Beaver Meadow and the other
near the town of Quakake. In cutting
through the mountain the tunnel tapped
several small seams of coal. None of
thick, but may later lead to veins that
have not yet been worked.
To connect all the Beaver Meadow
collieries with the No. slope, which is
tapped by the tunnel, other holes will
have to be driven, and one of these,
from the No. slope to No. 2 slope, will
tunnel will be more than 1,500 feet in
length, and will be the important con-
Meeting link with all the workings of
Coke Bros. & Co. In that vicinity
The effect of the completion OF the
tunnel will be far reaching and of great
benefit, as hereafter it will be impossible
for an inundation of these mines to
occur.
The workings of Van Wickle & Co, g,
which are adjacent to the Coke collier
les, will ultimately be drained by the
tunnel.
Only one fatal accident marked the
construction of the big tunnel. A
driver boy was caught between car
and the timber and SO badly squeezed
that he died.
