Jacobs, of Boise, Ida, says only hall
the story has been told of the rich
ness of Thunder mountain.
MANY persons believe that the re,
ports from Thunder mountain have
been greatly exaggerated Mr..
Jacobs said, but, in my opinion, the
region is really richer than prospec-
tors believe IT is. There are great
surprises in store. The 100 square
mile area is owned by the govern
ment. Any man is free to drive a
stake and file his claim. \ person
may sink almost any place in that
coumtryand find paying ore. 1t only
costs Sl.25. at the highest figure, to
mill the ore, and, by the way, that is
one Of the advantages of Thunder
mountain over the other districts.
The ore is more free and costs less to
mill, Some of it can be put through
for fifty or sixty cents.
Thunder mountain is the center
Of wonderful mineral country. On
every side are districts viii h have
turned out large sums of gold, most
" placer. Boise basin has produced
$50 million dollars in gold; Warren
can show Is million dollars on the
express books; Florence 36 million
dollars and tuster City, in the east,
10 million dollars.
at will be found this summer that
there are many other districts quite
as rich as the Thunder mountain dis
trict have some claims myself,
twenty miles away, that showeighty
ounces in gold Then there is cop
per, silver and lead until it almost
makes you sick to see it all go to
waste.
Provisions are scarce in Thunder.
The prices quoted there are $40
sack for flour, So IA sack for sugar,
s pound for coffee, 60 cents half
pound OF soda, - cents pound for
bacon, 81 80 for a 12-ounce can OF
baking powder, There is no salt to
be had in there at any price, This
lot of supplies was taken in on three
pnck horses. WHO had to travel on

from Thunder. He indorses Prof.
Meads report. Said he.
Il advise prospectors to enter by
way of Fayetteville. This is the old
trappers' route and was used by the
Hudson Bay trappers one hundred
years ago. You can still find the
trappers beaver frames and their
old bear traps at points along the
trail,
son one OF the logs OF a cabin
standing to-day, fifteen miles from
Thunder mountain, is the mark OF
Lucille Loutville, French.Canadian
trapper, who built the cabin in S52.
1t is a souvenir to day of a people
who went into that country for furs
and never thought of looking for
gold.

NEW RECORD IN KLEpTOMANIA
Wan OF wealth and Position Arrested
In Paris for Cutting Ribbons
from WOmen's Dresses.

A curious incident occurred on the
boulevards of Paris the other day.
While crowd was watching cine
matograph man attempted to cut the
ribbons attached to woman's reti-
Guile. He was arrested as a thief At
the police station he gave proof that
he was man of wealth and position.
When questioned by the commissary
of police the prisoner Indignantly de.
MED that his intention was to Steal the
reticule, but declared that he could
not resist the temptation to take the
ribbons. He said he carried scissors
with him to cut ribbons off women's
dresses when he had an opportunity.
The truth of his statement was proved
by the discovery in his apartment of
thousands of pieces of ribbons. After
indemnifying the woman he was re-
leased on promising not to begin again.

of 100000 to 100000, says the Chi

down to the plain people the man who
