PEOPLE VINO ARE PASSING

Ex-Lleut, Gov j. w. Atkinson OF
Idaho Is a guest at the Cullen from
Boise with "Fitz Mac" the newspaper
writer. Gov Atkinson was secretary
and manager of the Denver Mining
Exchange 10 years ago, and a good
friend OF the newspaper men. But the
tough times OF '93 made it expedient TO
browse elsewhere, and he struck Idaho
with his right foot forward remaining
rightsde up with care ever since. Gov.
Atkinson brings further corroborauon
Of the stories Of the riches OF Thunder
mountain; only he says that the entire
district Is low grade gold proposition,
the bulk OF the ores being in 81 and $40
gold. As a free milling proposition
and with transportation within reach,
this vast district win well repay de-
velopment, but at present only 800 gold
ore viii pay. However, the extent OF
the low grade ore bodies is something
enormous practically unfathomabe,
and with cheap means OF treatment
and transportation, a golden stream
WIN pour out of that district the COM
ing season. Governor Atkinson eX-
hlbited sample OF pure tin
that Is being mined In north
crn Idaho, and rich cinnabar ore yield
ing heavily IN quicksilver has been dis
covered. He considers Idaho as des.
tined to become one Of the greatest
states OF the Union He says Il Is
practically an lmposslbilty to build a
railroad clear through the Thunder
mountain district on account Of the un.
usually rugged and preclpltous char.
aeter Of the country. Fitz Mac Is on
his way home TO Denver TO write up
the results Of his trip.
