Miles Bramblee, of Placerville,
after putting in five months pros
pecting at Thunder Mountain, re-
turned home a few days ago.
While there he located several
good claims. Bramblee, Fry and
Day left the mountain December
Dist for the outside world without
snOwshoes. The third day out
they were in heavy snow storm.
The snow drifted until it was en-
tirely out Of sight. The only way
they could find it for a distance
of about mile over the Elk Creek
summit, was with sticks, which
they punched through the snow to
find the bottom Of the trail. Mr..
Day, who was Klondike pioneer,
froze both Of his big toes, which
made travelling on foot very pain
full for him. Fry and Bramblee
stayed with him to the lakes at the
head of head Of Long valley. A
team was sent back after him. Mr..
Bramblee gives the World the fol-
lowing interesting account OF the
central Idaho mineral belt:
Thunder Mountain is all right,
and under the able management oil
those in charge, everything has
moved along like clockwork. The
mill, model ten-stamp, built by
Patrick Murphy with all modern
improvements will be ready to
drop stamps in few days.
Col. Dewey has not secured all
the valuable properties in the
Thunder Mountain district, and
does not show disposition to con.
troll them, being, like the majority
Of the pioneers Of a new camp,
willing for others to have an equal
chance.
While the country has beer
staked for some distance from the
original locations, it was not real
lied until late in the fall that the
mineral belt extends for severa
miles in a southern as we'll as 1
northern direction, when prospec.
tors, doing the work necessary t.
record, found very encouraging
free gold prospects on the surface
Fine surface showings have beer
discovered from fifteen to thirt,
miles from Thunder Mountain.

ore, retort it and get all the quick
silver they need in placer mimi,
