Thunder Mt. district for the past six
months, has no conception of what
is being done and has been done in
the way OF developing what promises
to be one Of the greatest mineral
producing districts in the United
States, and will make known the
name of the state of Idaho the world
over. She will become famous for
having within her borders one Of the
greatest mineral producing districts
in the world, a district that contains
every known mineral that is valuable,
and that is of benefit to mankind in
manufacture and commercial pro-
ducts. 1t Is being demonstrated be-
yond the question of doubt that the
district is all and more that has been

is now in progress and will be con.
