THUNDER MOUNTAIN.
Character of the Formations in the
 New Gold Fields.

The Thunder mountain district is situated in the central part of Idaho, in the southeastern part of Idaho county, and comprises an area of about 625 square miles. This region is rough and mountainous, broken up, as it is, by lofty peaks divided by deep canyons, and so inaccessible that until recently very little was known of its rich ut!r.- eral deposits.
 The formation of this district is of a volcanic and sedimentary character commonly called "decomposed' lava. and is therefore very easily worked without the aid Of explosives. Of course. as in all regions of this char acter, the formation increases in hard ness as greater depth is penetrated. but until depth of ten or fifteen feet is reached. the use of powder and drills are not needed.
 The rock containing the free gold SD abundantly Is a variety of porphyry, and the gold is easily obtained by pull verizing the rock and washing it out in common gold pan. In numerous in stances on record s2O per day have been shovel and gold pan. Judging from the developments that have already been made. there are no definite limits to the deposits. There are no waste dumps in the region. everything is pay dirt from the grass roots down, thus no time is lost moving tons of dirt and rock to find out the character of the GeDosits

THE BLACK PRINCE.
Further Particulars of the Late Strike
 in Sulphide Gre.

Quite a good body of sulphide ore was recently encountered in the cross cut on the Black Prince mine of the Copper Basin Gold and Copper com paEy. The crosscut is being run at a depth of 102 feet for the purpose If determining the width of the dyke on which the claim is located, says the Journal Miner. The crosscut has beel run over 100 feet and no signs of a wall have yet been encountered. The rock for the entire distance has been min cralized, containing sulphurets. though no big values are obtained, but the opinion of mining experts who have examined it say that none may be req sonahly expected as the rock they are in IS q capping and that the real ore body may be expected 10 be found when they have cut through this cap ping.
 At one point in the crosscut a sort of vein or Assure was encountered in found in much larger quantities than in other portions of it, and drift has been run in on this. It was in this drift that the ore body mentioned above was encountered, and it is grow ing stronger and richer as progress is made on the drift. While work is still being pushed on the crosscUt this drift will be continued for some distance and this ore body followed. The dyke IS such a monster that the work Of opening it up compared with that nf

THE GOPHER MINE.
Short Story of the Property Operated
 by Mrs. A. v. Katuz.

The story of the Gopher mine Is an interesting narrative. going back as it does to pioneer days in Arizona and in- voiving many incidents of adventure worthy Of a frontier romance. says the Journal Miner. It was purchased by General A. V. Kautz in 1873. when he was in command of the department of Arizona. for a compara lively small sum and held by him for many years as an investment. During all this time it was considered silver mine, and was not regarded as a particularly promis- ing asset.
 Soon after her husbands death, how ever, Mrs. Kautz received an offer of S1O,OOO for the property. She refused it. but was led by the circumstance to send an expert to Arizona to investi- gate. The expert advised her to hold on to the property; that it gave indi- cations of developing into valuable free gold quartz mine. Acting under this advice, Mrs. Kautz laid the matter before her lawyers in Seattle, with the result that the Gopher Mining com pany, q close corporation. was formed with few of her intimate friends. in cluding prominent army and naval of ficers stationed on Puget sound, as stockholders. In all Mrs. kautZ raised about Sil,000, which was placed in the hands of practical miners for the de- yelOpment of the mine. During Gen eral Kautz's lifetime. owing first to the fact that the mine was in hostile In dian country and later the low price Of silver. the property had not been de- Veloped.
 New comes the most interesting part Of the story. Pending the development of the mine Mrs. hautz and family went abroad. Not long after Mrs. Kautz received information that things Were not satisfactory and she immedi- ately resolved to oversee the develop meEt work in person.
 Returning to the United States she proceeded to Arizona and with her two daughters, Miss Frankie and Miss Navarra Kautz, took up her residence on the claim, where they were practi- celly the only women remaining there until the transfer to the McCabe Ex- tension company

Richard Barnes Foster, the IA
year-old son of DR.. and Mrs. Richard
Foster. of this city, died Saturday
night, surrounded by the sorrowful
parents and bereaved brother and
sister.
"Dick, as he was Familiarity
known among his associates, was a
most popular boy, and few enter

Richard was the oldest son in the

where he went with his father two
years ago.
In Hobart "Dick' was president
of the Junior Christian Endeavor
society, and was at the time of his
death employed as bookkeeper in a
Hobart business house.
One incident that adds extreme
sorrow To his death is the fact that
he was the fifth in the Foster family
bearing the name of Richard, and
the former four each had sons to
carry the name down to the present

there are degrees of uniqueness we

no duplicates. Of course there is

hear from any purchaser the opinion
that he had not got his moneys

vast amount of information, which,
as the Salt Lake Tribune SAYS, it
ought to be made the official duty of

will, in October or the first Of
November, penetrate the forest
