THE MOORE E. CAMPBELL PROP
ERTIES IN THE THUNDER
MOUNTAIN DISTRICT.
They Will Probably Install Very
Large Reduction Plant There
Next Spring.

Walter B. Moore, one of the owners
of extensive mining interests in Idaho
is now on his way home to this city.
While in Boise yesterday Mr.. Moore
talked to a Capital News reporter and
gave out much information regarding
the claims owned by Charles Campbell,
Frank A. Moore of this city and him.
self. The Capital-News says:
When asked about the Wisdom and
other properties in the Thunder noun
tain district Mr.. Moore said his part
ner. Campbell, who had been in Thun-
der mountain all summer doing devel-
opment work, had sent out some very
interesting reports. While the Wisdom
claim is good, Mr.. Campbell reports
the Big Dipperr' a claim they own
on the south, is still better.
Mr.. Campbell struck a body of ore
in the Big Dipper which is better than
anything shown in the Wisdom. That
being the case, the new find must go
better than $50 in gold to the ton. The
development consists Of 70-foot tun-
mel and a shaft that is down 25 feet.
The ore body, it has been definitely
ascertained, is blanket formation.
From prospect holes it has been shown
the Moore & Campbell holdings en-
compass an ore body 22OO feet long, of
unknown width and depth.
To the south of the Big Dipper"
claim they have another called the
Zizzag. which pans better than the
Wisdom and is thought to be higher
grade. The firm will continue their
shaft in an effort to learn the depth
of the wonderful ore deposit which
covers their ground and that of the
Sunnyside. Values have been imprOv-
ing as depth is attained and it looks
as though no mistake was made when
$50. 900 was refused for their TIC in
tereSt in the Wisdom claim. If their
group does not prove a bonanza, rich
surface indications are of no value.
The firm has concluded to install a
reduction plant early next season, on
their property, which promises to make
it a dividend payer before this time
next year. Owing to the plastic nature
of the ore, Mr.. Moore said he thought
had not been fully decided yet as the
order would only be placed for spring
to make further Investigations.
