Lorenzo Falls of May was a
ChaIliS visitor last week.
The Mackay Telegraph in its
last issue published map-pur-
porting to be the Mackay- Chal-
lis route to Thunder mountain.
The map shows the route run
ming slap through Bayhorse and
leaves Challis of the line fifteen
miles. The engraver of this mar
should engrave another map and
then retire from business. But.
lit may not have been his fault,
probably he followed the origin
al draft.
Many are now pushing on tC
Thunder mountain. and a few
who have been TO the camp are
returning. We hear all manner
of reports-sOme say it is rich
while others pronounce it the
worst kind of fake. This ha:
been the case in all the great
mining excitements and vii
always be the case. While We
do not claim Thunder mountain
to be anything in richness as
claimed by certain boomers, We
we do believe it TO be a gooS
mineraiized country.

locality took permanent leave o
