ia. no matter how much general
knowledge you may have had prev
iously, you must start all over IN
Thunder Mountain. The Belle OF
Thunder Mountain Co., is steadily at
work. on their Cooney Creek proper
ty. Matson & Poston are showing
up good ground. This takes US to
the mouth of Cooney Going up
Monumental we find the Phean
ground owned b. Jewell and Phelan
in the assessment work for 1901 in a
80 foot tunnel they reed an assay
of $22. 40 On the Murray & Kill
patrick ground they have good show
ings, also have two stamp mill
which will be up aud ready for work
in the early spring it all being on the
ground
The Gold Reef Mining & Develop
ment Company have been working
steadily all winter. part of the time
with two shifts This is a company
that is trying 10 thoroughly develop
the ground, James f. Jewell the
manager carefully samples the work,
and they are well aware of the re-
suits. On the Rainbow side, on
Botha Creek, Sundamacher, Fnltol
and Jewell have good ground, re-
ceiving as high as 500 assay. The
next ground with much work is the
Gold King and Moronto grouns, pro-
perties of the Rainbow Mountain
Gold Mining Co. The North Star
Group and claims owned by Chas
Lillien bear mention Now we
come to the Fairview, the big work
ing tunnel which was started the first
of the year is one of the important
features of the camp. l have touch
ed very lightly upon the companies
in each, their managers are capable
and efficient men, sparlug no pains
to reach the goal and can give re-
ports interesting to all. There are
plenty of good properties with ten
foot shaft, but my aim is to show
you, what development, will do for
our camp. Tue sturdy miner with
his pick and shovel backed by capital
will cause Thunder Mountain to be
one of the best camps IN the histor,
OF the country. The district called
Thunder Mountain extends ten or
twelve miles in each direction from
Thunder Mountain proper, but the
mineralized district is probably 40 or
80 miles and is yet to be prospected.
There are no positive lodges, but 1t
the opinion of our own experts and
superintendent who have watched
the workings of the Dewey, Sunny
side and Fairview. that good paying
lodges will be found in place with
sufficient development. l would like
to tell you of the good things found
on Trap Creek, Sugar Creek, Big
Creek, Smith & Beaver, Yellow Pine.
Dynamite and Rush Creeks | have
often thanked God that all the good
people were not congregated in one
spot, so our prospectors echo the
same wish in regard to the claims.
for | have touched upon an exceeding
ly small area, not to exceed two
miles square.
Newton Hibbs, our townsite man
has proven a good friend to every
prospector, encouraging them with
good advise and substantial aid when
needed
