d. j. Brown and M. T. Whitaker
arrived in the city Wednesday from
Thunder Mountain and bring out
news of a rich strike in the new
camp. The find was made on the
Gray Horse claim owned by Brown
& RtthASqsgn, and situated about $500
feet north Or the Dewey property,
in what was previously believed to
be barren district. Mr.. Brown
Wednesday displayed samples of ore
from the new and the specimens
were filled with free gold visible to
the naked eye.
| Brown and Whitaker went into
Thunder Mountain in the early part
of last December. Brown had beer

Whitaker was "tenderfoot in the
district. Brown had promised Whit

last summer. "We have three
claims left that we consider as good
as those upon which negotiations are
pending. Although several times
pressed for an option Oh these we
have always refused and it will take
a tempting proffer indeed to make US
release our grip" That is the way
Mr.. Moore explained the situation
last night.
The mines owned by Messrs.
Moore and Campbell are in Thunder
Mountain proper and are known to
contain vast quantities of ore as well
as gold in placer deposits. The
properties adjoin the famous Dewey
group. No sales have oeen made,
only an option having been given.
The Northern Pacific and Harri-
man systems are industriously adver'
tlsing the various highways to Thun
der Mountain, but after travelling th'
roads and trails for four years Messrs
Moore and Campbell declare the bes
route to be by way of Weiser, Coun

AS to the climate in the mountain
regions of central Idaho during the
winter months l might say that an
extremely severe winter might equal
in coldness an average winter in the
upper Yukon. l do not vouch for
the statement that miner while en-
gagged In covering his cabin with
s'shakes" at Dawson slipped and slid
down the roof and when he struck
the frozen ground broke in two like
an icicle. The winter of 1861 and
2 was an unusually severe one in the
mountains of this state. In Decem-
ber of the above year | met an old
packer at the foot of Salmon River
mountain, at the point where State
creek enters into the Salmon river.
To reach the summit a steep eight
mile pull was necessary before going
down into Florence basin. He told
me that he had taken q contract to
deliver two barrels of whiskey into
Florence. He was to receive the
small compensation of $l.00 per
pound freight. The whlskey was in
0-gallon barrels and of course could
not be packed on an animal. 1t was
his intention to draw the ''fire-
water" off into 10-gallon kegs. But
he stated that his plan would not
work. So he knocked off the hoops,
sawed the whiskey up into 50-pound
cakes, put them into gunny sacks
and delivered his cargo IN good or
der He wound up by saying it was
fun to see the char keeper" chip of
piece of ice and hand it out to the
boys for their morning toddy. II

population were sssuckers.

This the way the pilgrims the Boise pipe dream

make the trip even in midwinter.
The trip becomes less appalling when
we consider the difficulties sur
mounted by many on their way to
Klondlke. They plodded their way
through slush and muck from Dyea
to Sheep camp, crossing one stream
81 times, finally reaching the Stone
House, and then commenced the
steep ascent of % miles to the sum
nit of Chilcoot Pass. Then again
across treacherous lakes and down
turbulent streams a distance from
Dyea to Dawson of 100 miles.
But then it must be remembered
that the conditions existing at the
end of the two routes are entirely
different.
At Klondike the wealth sought
was deposited in fats and gulches
and the miner could locate and stake
his claim on the snow with reason
able certainty that pay dirt would bt
reached before bedrock. 1t would
be difficult to locate a quartz claim

However, like the unwritten law

these laws leaves the locator IN pos

However, it is evident from the
great number of letters l have re-
ceived that there is much interest
awakened in the Thunder Mountain
country. l submit few extracts
which will give some idea Of the in
formation sought. A prominent
mining manager of Spokane writes:
Some parties are desirous of learning
something regarding the Thunder Noun
tain country. where the same is located,
how to get there, what lis resources are,
and such general information as your
good judgment would suggest.
Another party writes from Colo

rival in camp they went to the hills.
On December IL Brown made 18
locations and his friend an equal
nun. ber. The locations were made
separately, Brown, taking one side of
the ridge or apex, Whitaker the op-
posite side. Then to unite the two
groups the two prospectors ran the
lines across the ridge, Whitaker TAX
lug one half the ground, his partner
the other. Brown named his claim
the Gray Horse, while Whitaker
called his the Lost Star. 1t was on
the Gray horse that Brown made his
discovery, and Whitaker says the
same ore body extends into bis
ground.
The rich discovery was made in
the bottom of a I0-foot hole in 6
phonolite and porphyry formation
Whitaker says Brown had sunl
through three feet of lava and ba
saltic crust, when suddenly the
formation changed to that of por
phyry. His curiosity was aroused
and after putting in another rounC
of s'holes" the strike was uncov
cred. Brown then went through al
additional five feet Of phronolite ant
operations were stopped as the pow
der supply was exhausted and non
could be purchased in camp.
With this condition confrontin

to come out to purchase supplies.

Pacific, would travel 76 miles further
than if they went in from Council on
the P. g. l. N. Ry.
Mr.. Krigbaum also writes that he
has broken the road for sleighs to the
Upper Lake and has men and teams
at work pushing over Secesh summit.
When the work Is finished, passeng-
ers can be taken clear through to
Warren in sleighs. The last storm
spell brought down three feet of new
snow and caused two slides on Secesh
creek. The trail has been rebroken
across the slides and travel is not in
terfered with. Ross reports that the
soft weather has made the snow rot
ten and hard for horses to travel and
he advises people to at least wait un-
til change in the weather. There
is really no reason why there should
be any great amount of travel until
late as the country cannot be pro-
spected to advantage until the snow
is out. The main reason why travel
is starting now is that it is easier to
get outfits in now than when the snow
is breaking up in the spring. On
January 9th they opened station
at Fisher creek, between the two
lakes and Joe Thomas states that
there has not been less than ten men
at any meal since.
