The Weiser signal. [volume] (Weiser, Idaho) 1890-1904, 1902-02-06

80 days sooner and two months be-
fore 1t would be possible for people
to get In any other way. The present
travel demands it and with sleighs
running to Warren the traffic would
be quite heavy now.
Mr.. French has lost four men
from the Blue Jacket at Seven
Devils. II. + Cowden, Jack Harp
er, K. S. Hesse and - Mcbride
have joined the ,ilgrims who are
going to Thunder They came to
| Weiser to outfit.
Joe Thomas, the Meadows hotel
man, writes the Signal that his last
big toboggan outfit conveyed 16 peo-
pie going into Warren and Thunder
mountain. Joe and his partner, Ross
Krigbaum, are putting in good stop
ping between present stations so that
in case of severe weather there will
be no long distances between Ravens
Of refuge.
Joe Venable, who came out last
week, said it was as comfortable
winter trip as he ever took in the
mountains-plenty ofstopping places
and no hardships AS he came out
he met seven different parties on
their way in. 1t is easier to reach
the country now than it will be for
q month or two when the snow breaks
up, but no prospecting Of Importance
can be done before June.
Peter Foster, cook of Deweys
camp came out from Thunder Noun
tain on the Both ult. He was 5
days from the mountain to Boise.
On the way out he met four Grange
vile parties that had come up the
Little Salmon and were on their way
in Meadows. He also met three
parties from Boise going over the
Weiser route. Among the parties
met were M. f. Eby of Boise, and
Eph Day and VIM Black, of Council.
Esten Freeman, of the Council
Meadows stage line, was in Weser
Tuesday and states that his line is
kept busy hauling passengers in and
out from Thunder Mountain. He is
putting on special conveyance be-
tween Meadows and Council to meet
the demand for train connection at
Council. The mail stage does not
leave Council until morning and ar
rives in the evening, but the special
conveyance will enable continuous
travel. A petition will be sent to
the department at once asking for
the resumption of the summer mail
schedule, which will send the mail
out Of Council Immediately after the
train and arrive from Meadows at
noon.
