THUNDER MOUNTAIN. IDAHO. A
MINERAL TREASURE HOUSE

Fortunes of Gold Are Being Found IN
the Center of tho State of Id-ho
Thunder Mountain. the new Idaho
gold field, is the most promising min
eral region in the United States The
richness of this country was no.
known until late in the fall of 1901,
after heavy SHOWS had closed all ave-
nues by which the region might be
reached except upon snowshoes- Not
withstanding this fact, Colonel W. H
Dewey of Idaho, and others who have
had wide experience in mining, have
expended vast sums in the purchase of
undeveloped claims. The surface indi-
cations are marvelously rich These
gold bearing lodges, from 100 to 800
feet, will run through mountain par
allel to each other In the Dewey
mine, this vast deposit has values run
ming from 81 to $4,000 per ton. and tho
plates of the 10-stamp mill which runs
on the ore have to be cleaned of their
accretions of gold every six hours
In few weeks two miners last
spring cleaned up 81 800 in placer gold.
using small cotton hose to wash
the gravel, the water coming from
small reservoir on the mountain side.
The mineral zone covers a large sec
ton of hitherto unexplored country,
and is about IT'S miles from a railroad
There are five routes leading to the
Thunder Mountain country, viz: via
ketcnum, Mackay, BOISE and We1Sers
Idaho, and Bedrock, Montana all on
the Oregon Short Line railway. A
great rush to this mecca for miners is
predicted, and Ion to Thunder Noun
tain" will be as familiar as the old
watchword, Pixies Peak or Bust as
soon as the SHOWS disappear so that
the camp may be reached with sup
plies, which will probably be between
May Is and June 1. A scarcity of pro-
visions at present keeps miners away,
as flour at $50 per sack is considered
somewhat of a luxury even in the gol-
den land.
Surrounding Thunder Mountain is a
large section of country adapted to
agriculture and stock-raising.
d. E. Burley, general passenger
agent of the Oregon Short Line rail-
road, at Salt Lake City, sent an expert
to report upon that country, and viii.

Burniug Head.


Star City, Ark, May 26th.-A very
remarkable case has just occurred
here.
Mr.. W. H. McFalls has been suffer
ing severely for two years with an all
ment that puzzled the doctors and
everybody. The trouble seemed to be
all in his head, which had a burning
sensation all the time.
Sometimes this burning pain in the
head would be worse than at other
times, but it never left him.
At last he tried new remedy called
Dodd's Kidney Pills and was agreeably
surprised to find that the burning
gradually disappeared
An attack of La Grippe has laid him
up for the last few weeks, but Dodd's
Kidney Pills have banished his old
trouble entirely.
His son George used few of the
Pills which his father did not need and
they have done him so much good
that he says he would not take ten
cents pill for the few he still has left.

IRONING A SHIRT WAIST.

Not infrequently a young woman
finds it necessary to launder shirt
waist at home for some emergency
when the laundryman or the home ser
want cannot do it Hence these direc-
tons for ironing the waist: To iron
summer shirt waists SO that they will
look like new it is needful to have
them starched evenly with Defiance
starch, then made perfectly smooth
and rolled tight in a damp cloth, to be
laid away two or three hours. When
ironing have a bowl of water and a
clean piece of muslin beside the IRON
ing board. Have your iron hot, but
not sufficiently so to scorch. and abso-
lutely clean Begin by ironing the
back. then the front, sides and the
sleeves, followed by the neckband and
the cuffs When wrinkles appear APP
ply the damp cloth and remove them
Always iron from the top of the waist
to the bottom II there are plaits in
the front iron them downward, after
hrst raising each enc with a blunt
knife. and with the edge of the iron
follow every line of stitching to give 1t
distinctness- After the shirt waist In
troned it should be well aired by the
IRE or in the sun before it IL folded
and put away. says the Philadelphia
Inquirer.

laxative, you will obtain satisfactory
results BY taking DR.. Caldwelrs daxa-

He Got a Disagreement.

ST had business in the far west last

er day, "and while was stopping in a
small town for a day or two man was
tried for stealing horse. l went over
to court to see how they put things
through and closely followed the evil
dence on both sides. There wasn't the
shadow of a doubt in my mind that
the prisoner was guilty, and that even
ing l said to his lawyer:
you'll lose your case tomorrow.

One day a man who had had consider
able experience with parrots happened
to come in, and when l complained of
the birds lOquacity he said: why
don't you get an owl? You get an owl
and hang him up close to that parrots
cage, and in about two days you'll find
that your birds dead sick of unprofit-
able conversation"
Well, ! got small owl and put him
in cage close to the parrots cage.
The parrot began by trying to dazzle
the owl with his conversation, but it
wouldn't work. The owl sat and looked
at the parrot just as solemn as a min
lister whose salary has been cut down,
and after awhile the parrot tried him
with Spanish. 1t wasn't of any use.
Not word would the owl let on to I'M
derstand Then the parrot tried brag-
ging and laid himself out to make the
owl believe that Of all the parrots in
existence he was the ablest. But he
couldn't turn a feather OF the OWL
The noble bird sat silent as the
grave and looked at the parrot as if to
say, "This is indeed melancholy ex-
hibition of imbecility." Well, before
night that parrot was so ashamed of
himself that he closed for repairs, and
from that day forth he never spoke an
unnecessary word. Such. gentlemen,
is the force of example in the worst Of
birds.-W. L. Alden.
