IN legislation the country very generally
admits that he was right.

GREYHOUND GROUP.

The Greyhound group of mines
situated in Sheep mountain dis
trict, Custer county, and owned
by Boise people, consists of five
locations on the vein proper and
runs from Sulphur creek in a
northerly direction 1900 feet.
The group consists of the follow
ing claims: John Henry, Rufus,
Ruby, Col. Bernard and Logan.
The Ophir, Birdie and General
Grant run parallel to the above
veins. Millsites have already
been located, Last year work
was performed on the Rufus lode
which consisted of a crosscut to
a depth of so feet. The drift was
then extended northwest S5 feet,
and the face of the vein was
found to be II feet wide, with
ore throughout that averaged $40
per ton, carrying some gold. Six
feet of the vein averaged S25 and
10 feet $50 per ton. The distance
to Thunder mountain from the
Greyhound group is 25 miles. S.
M. Smith and G. M. Hayes OF
Boise have a bond on the prop
erty and will develop the same
the coming summer on d large
scale. An average assay from
the Rufus gives $500 per ton,
l$16.80 being gold. Capital News.

May is EARLY ENOUGH.

You are thinking of going to
the Thunder mountain country ?
You want to know where it is?
You want to know what it is
like ?
You want know how to get
there /?
Do know anything about it ?
Have [ ever been there ?
Is it really great
Do I think it is going to prove
a slayer
Is it a poor mans country
Is the rush going to be big ?
Is there much excitement over
the country about it ?
Say, don't talk so fast. Keep
your clothes on. There isn't any
use of getting excited. You
can't go today. You can't go
tomorrow. You should not go
before the last of April. You're
a fool if you do. You can't gain
anything by it. 1t would be
perfectly useless. You can't
prospect. The snow is three
feet deep. There are no roads
into the heart of the region. The
trails are buried. A suow-slide
might swish you into kingdom
come in jiffy.
Then where'd you be ?
Yes, I've been there-severa
times-came out from there just
two weeks ago. But then you
see 1 didn't go clear to Thunder
mountain-only to the Thunder
mountain region, within forty
miles of it.
And that makes difference.
Up to that point the trip is
picnic. Beyond that-but try it
and you'll know.
Met a haggard spectre who hac
lust come over the trail on snow
shoes-got caught in swirlin:
storm. lost his bearings and wa
six days without food-old noun
taineer and prospector, too, AM
right onto all the curves, but h
came staggering in with his ski
hanging to his bones like a. .shir
on a bean pole, and it took al
the whiskey had in my clothe
to bring him around.
You'd better not try it-see ?
n n
The hardship will be perfectl
useless-can't do anything I'll
the snow goes-first of May wi
he time enough-let the shell
game men and the townsit
whoopers go ahead and brea
the trails.

Salmon and Ketchum people
are now advertising their respec
tive routes open to Thunder Mt.
They know there is no truth in
such statements, but it is put out
to fool people who are strangers
in the country. Such false state
ments only tends to injure their
routes when the newcomers find
out the truth in the matter. At
this time there are no routes open
only for snow-shoers, to Thunder
mountain, not even the CEallis
route-and this is the earliest of
them all. The snow has been
falling in the mountains during
the past week and a depth of
from one to two feet of new snow
has fallen. We would advise the
people to wait at least a month
before rushing to the new gold
fields. Perhaps within a week
or Ten days you can go as far as
Singiser by wagon, but after 20 u
get there you will have to snow
shoe it for a distance of so miles
to Thunder mountain, whether
you go in by the way of Salmon
or Challis. After you get to
Thunder mountain you will find
five or six feet of snow covering
the country at this time and you
cannot prospect. There are nc
supplies to speak of in the camp,
no town to shelter you from
the winters blast. So what are
: you going to do ? Let us be
, fair IN this matter. We are some
what familiar with all the "best
routes" to Thunder mountain, and
: know that none of them are open
roads for traffic at this time OF
the year-whether you go by
ChallIs, Salmon, Ketchum, War
rens, Boise or Weiser. It's all
, of month too early. There is
, no use deceiving the public about
, your ''open roads" for it is ar
: injury to the the country. W.
believe that the Thunder noun
, tain country is great unexplor
ed mineral region, and when i
t is thoroughly prospected will
prove the theory OF our homes
. convictions. OF course there
} will be hundreds of people out o
the thousands that will rush il
