The Weiser signal. [volume] (Weiser, Idaho) 1890-1904, 1902-11-08

this section of the country in 80 short
a time, much less will a man Of
discretion and judgment attempt it.
1t will take only time and develop
ment to prove it to be worthless and
on the contrary to disprove that the
sbowings and groupings are not the
true earmarks of good camp.
People have gone out Of every
camp on earth Disguised and cursing
every man who thought such a place
would make camp, yet people
went on just the same. So they will
be in Thunder Mountain and prove
that mining is successfully carried on
by work and sinew and not on wind
and jaw.
There seems to be no avenue for
the business man of the west to ac-
cumulate fortune as quickly as in
mining and the eastern investor has
readily caught the idea and the two
hand in hand turn these western hills
upside down to find the hidden
treasures.
Legitimate mining in the ground
and not on paper, has proven the
true way of getting the wealth out of
mother earth.
Unless you are capable of going
into that section prepared to stay for
the summer, don't 60, and if you
have no idea of taking the advantage
of hardships get some one to go with
you having experience and then the
hardships will be easier.
The snow begins to melt in April
and continues until all gone, so if
you desire to 60 early, go in before
the 1st Of April If that is too soon
don't go, unless you know the coun-
try, until June 1, when the snow
will have melted and the waters gone
down, then you will find it pleasant
trip until along late in the fall.
1t will take about eight to ten DAYS
of comfortable and easy travelling
from the railroad into Thunder noun.
tain, and if the roads and trails are
good it can be made in much less
time.
Everything appears favorable for
large influx of people into the coun-
try next year and of much different
class OF prospectors than the past
year has shown.
TO say that Thunder mountain
will not be camp would be to saw
that where gold, silver, lead and cop
per ores crop out, the ground is
valueless.
Necessarily this camp will have to
confront all adverse statements the
same as all other camps have had to
DO and which only form the first few
pages of its early history.
No man can see under the ground
any farther than another and only by
analogy and similarity are mining
camps judged and should mining
nan pass upon Thunder Mountain in
The negative he undoubtedly will still
nave another guess coming unless all
signs fail.
We must all learn to look for gold
and not formation, for it is where we
east expect it and is just where we
ind it.
