Will SOON BEGIN
STAMPEDERs ONLY WAITING FOR
THE WORD go"
RUSH WILL BE A GREAT ONE
Storm Of Humanity to See What the
Much Advertised Thunder Noun
tain Contains in the Way
of Riches.

A few weeks from now will see the real
beginning of another remarkable min
ing rush-that to the Thunder Mountain
region in Idaho, says the Pacific Coast
Miner This is about all that can Re
said with certainty about Thunder
Mountain at this time. Wild stories of
the marvellous riches that fiji the noun
tains and canyons for 80 miles or so
have been floating out over the snow and
getting into the papers under big head
lines, but these reports are vague and
conflicting and there is an almost COM
pete lack of reliable information about
the resources OF the district. Whatever
the merits and future of the district, the
reports we are now reading in the news
papers are grossly exaggerated beyond
question.
Thunder Mountain Is In a remote re-
gion difficult of access, but 1t has been
known and prospected more or less for
many years. There are some valuable
producing mines In the region, notably
the Dewey. The district never attracted
much attention until late last fall. when
some discoveries were made which at
tracted attention and since then, while
several feet of snow has clothed the
country, tales of fabulous wealth in
ledges and placers have been growing In
size and multiplying in number.
All Told Great Stories.
Last fall there were less than 100 pros
pectors In the entire district. Such of
these as have come out over the difficult
trails during the winter have told Won
derful tales, declaring II TO be "the
greatest goldbearing belt in the United
States" The press has enthusiastically
blazed forth the good story" public
immigration has been fired and thous-
ands are getting ready for the dash in,
which will be in progress as soon as the
snow is nearly gone and the trails are
fairly open, which will be during May.
Nothing can stem the stampede which Is
gathering and Thunder Mountain will
cut a large figure in the genera, mining
news of the rest of the year. Most peo-
pie will go after gold, but there will be
another army that will go to get the
gold that other people bring In or dig
out of the ground. Stocks of goods of
every description Will be rushed to the
new camps, townsites will be laid out
and doomed and every feature Of min
ing excitement will characterize this
new paragraph in western mining his

JACkETSOf COPPER
CALIFORNIA COMPANY SEES AD-
VANTAGE IN 1T.
BOILER IRON USED IN Butte
It Stands the Heat Better Than Cast
Iron-Jackets in Delaware Are
Lined With Red
Metal.
BOILER IRON USED IN Butte

AT Keswick, Shasta county, Cal, the
Mountain Copper company is now maxi
ing water Jackets of copper instead of
cast iron as formerly keswick COR
respondent of the Redding Free Press
In writing of the experiment says:
"Water Jackets have to undergo great
extremes of heat. When made of cast
iron, unless the greatest of care Is ex-
ercised in attending to them, they crack
or break and lose their usefulness. There
are SO water jackets TO furnace, cost
ing about $40 for each east iron jacket
AS many as ID jackets out of 36 have
had to be made new inside of month
and a half. And then there is the ex-
pense Of digging out the furnace when
ii has frozen up, which is considerable.
"In Butte water jackets are generally
made of boiler iron. This stands ex-
pansion and contraction pretty well. In
the new furnace here, number five. the
Jackets are made on the Butte city pat
tern; and they stand the test much bet
ter than the cast iron.
Made of Copper Throughout.
"In Delamar the jackets are copper
lined. The furnace there runs .. for
months without freezing up. The jack
cts although expensive, are probably
| the cause.
"The Mountain Copper company now
| goes one better. Ii is making all It's
| Jackets not copper lined, but solid cop
! per. The jackets cost about $75 piece
| and are made In the companys foundry.
| The metal Is obtained from the copper
cement, the product of the teaching at
the mine The first copper jacket was
made about three months ago. The test
since has been satisfactory. Although
costing much more in the first place,
their tenure of usefulness is so long that
they will in time replace cast iron jack
cts
"Smelter men from other places say
the copper jackets at keswick are the
first they have seen. Furnace number
one is now furnished throughout with
the new style of jackets, and 1t Is con-
sidered by all odds the best furnace at
the smelter. other furnaces have few
copper Jackets, the new style being put
in as the old Jackets give out.
"Spouts, TOO, are now made OF "copper"
To the ordinary eye they appear to be
q simple cast Of iron. But foundrymen'
who ought to know, say they are
casting that is very difficult to make 30
that it will stand the fiery test OF tie
furnace. However, spouts made OF cop
per stand that test, and in the future
all spouts will be made OF copper not
withstanding their increased cost.

ONE COWSKlN.
An Instance of German Military
Thrift and Red Tapeism.

An instance Of military thrift and of
q red tape system which is not peculiar
10 Germany comes from the Prussian
war Office In 1866 the guards were
breakfasting hurriedly. They had on
the previous day fought the battle OF
Soor and had accomplished altogether
q nine days march. This was not the
era of canned meats, and to each regi-
ment had been allotted certain num-
Der Of cattle which had been killed,
skinned and cooked, but while the men
were still eating scouts came In with
tho news that the Austrians were near
at hand.
The men got into marching order and
in a few minutes were in rapid adj
vance toward the enemy. The Grena-
der guards, conspicuous always for
their dispatch, hurried to such purpose
that they failed to secure the skin OF
q COW which had been made over to
them for rations.
When the official who was response
BILE for the value of the hide came to
ask for ii, 1t had to be reported miss
ing. Inquiries were set on foot, evil
dence was collected, and a voluminous
correspondence lasting fourteen or fif-
teen months failed to account for the
skin.
There had been COW. She had been
made over to the guards. She had a
hide. The hide was government prop
erty, representing a sum fixed by ofii'
cial tariff. The government must be
credited with that sum. The hide was
not forthcoming. Who should be re-
sponsible for its cash value?
1t was at last decided that the colonel
Of the regiment should be held account
able, and a year and half after the
conclusion of the seven weeks war
he was requested by the war office to
remit the sum Of thalers, the price
Of one cowskin lost by the Grenadier
guards. When the sum was paid, the
subject was at last officially dropped.

COSTLY ACCIDENTS.
A Lost Tin Mine and n Lead Mines
BottomIcss Pit.

BOttOmlcss Pit.
Immense plans which seemed about
to be completed, but have been brought
TO disastrous failure at the last mo-
ment are frequent enough in the his
tory of industry.
London Answers tells the story OF
tin mine in England which might have
yielded a fortune but for a storm.
With the finding of a new vein Of ore
running out toward the sea new level
was driven out below the water; then
If was found that the lode bent up
ward too near the sea bottom for MN
ing TO be safely carried on. Undiscour-
aged. the owner borrowed money. butt
a sea wall to cut off the water, erected
pumps and again went to work.
On the sixth day just as an enor'
nous mass of rich ore was being tap
ped n gale came up, ship was blown
upon the wall. which went to pieces at
once. and the sea drove the heavy
stones in upon the thin roof OF the
mine. In moment the workings were
hopelessly flooded, and the owner was
a ruined man.
A story equally tragic is told of the
Speedwell lead mine in Derbyshlre.
Believing that Il rich vein of ore exist
cd In a nearby hill, the owner rlskcd
his entire capital TO bore n tunnel 3,OOO
feet long into the heart of the noun
tain. SudGenly the miners broke
through wall Of rock into vast ND
den cavern. through which flowed Il
stream of water.
They began TO dump rock into the
stream. and after 10000 tons Il bridge
began TO rise out of the darkness, ana
then their farther progress was stop
ped. Month after month they toiled
and at last, after 10000 tons i'll al
had been cast into the cavern, they
gave it up.

/ day as the Bottom S Pit.
