Hon. E. H. Dewey. Nampa, Idaho
Dear Sir: | have examined the wonder
full Thunder Mt. group of mines situated
in Thunder Mt. Mining District, Idaho.
Nature did wonders for this property, as
the great vein or zone stands up for one
hundred feet on the westerly end to one
hundred and fifty feet on the easterly
end, over the level of the surface, expos
ing the great ore body for more than
5000 feet in length, and from one hun
dred to one hundred and fifty feet in
width, leaving exposed l,5OO, 600 tons OF
pay ore, at conservative estimate worth
$4,000. 900. The underground workings
consist of about 500 feet of cross cuts
and drifts, every foot in pay ore, The
main cross-cut 60 feet, samples gold

feet, gold S5. 79, silver 40, total S6 27.
Ore in the face of west drift, gold SIo2,
silver 80. total S7.S2 The dark ore on
the south side of the west drift samples

At this point it requires cross-cut south
to determine the width of this high
grade ore: ais, forty foot cut north to
cut through the brght-colored ore
Such is the face of the west drift. Al
present it is unnecessary to do any more
work in the mine until the mill starts, as
it is easier to handle the ore from the
mine than from the dump.
| On the surface and about the centre o
this great ore body there is very rlcf
shoot of ore exposed 40 feet long ant
from 5 to 7 feet wide that assays as FOL

the same values to the tunnel level witt
the same width and length, it will con

$500 per ton, or $500, 600.
This property can furnish lOoo tons 0
ore per day and as soon as there are
few chutes put in the mine from whlc
to load cars can be mined for sixty cent
per ton. The property requires ~

IRRIGATION DISTRICT PROGRESS.
Election to Decide on Bond Issue May
Be Called in so Days.

The board of directors Of the
Weiser Irrigation District has order
ed the final steps to be taken which
must precede the election on the
question of issuing bonds for the
purchase and enlargement of the
Galloway ditch.
Engineer Utter has been engaged
to prepare plat showing the loca-
ton of the lands in the district owned
by each individual, the number of
each tract, etc. The board from this
must prepare list of these various
tracts of land and apportion to each
its share of the purchase price OF
the ditch according to the benefits
each will receive. This estimate is
then to be submitted to State Engi-
neer Ross for his approval.
1t is also necessary that another
survey be made Of the present ditch,
and an estimate made of its probable
cost, together with the cost of en-
larging its capacity to 8, 600 inches
This will also be submitted to tn,

COIN FOR THE PHILIPPINES.

WASHINGTON February 21.-A. M.
Townsend, agent of the Hongkong
and Shanghai banks, and just ap-
pointed joint manager of Its London
branch, appeared before the senate
Philippines committee today and ad
vocated the use of full weight sill
yer dollar in the Philippines to circu-
late at its bullion value, and opposed
the proposition recommended by the
Philippine commission of dual
standard for the islands. He did
not appear, he said, on behalf of the
bank, but being familiar with the
monetary conditions in the east con-
cluded to give the committee the
benefit of his experience.
Great Britain's experiment of
placing India on gold basis, he
said, had proved conclusively that
the standard was applicable only to
rich countries Gold currency was
entirely unsuitable for the Philip
pines, because it would increase the
cost of everything, would tend to
restrict rather than develop the ex-
port trade of the islands, and would
be tax and burden to the United
States to maintain it 1t would not
remedy the question of exchange
between the archipelago and the
United States, because there was
fuctuation in the rate between the
gold countries The Filipinos would
not readily accept the gold, and to
introduce it would only breed dis
content. They would, however, ac-
cept the silver dollar, which would
also circulate everywhere in the east
, on par with the Mexican and Brit.
ish dollar. That currency would be
used for export also to pay outside
debts, and would return to the Phil
+ ippines when the balance of trade
+ favored the islands.
He would make the dollar a full
, weight American dollar, with practl
q cal free coinage, marked with boil
/ American and Filipino emblems. 1t

J. ion, could only be distinct gain ant
