Thunder Mountain Country Again Endorsed

OPINION OF EXPERT E. M. RAY
Says the Big pophyy Dyke Carries Higher Average Values
Than the TreadwellThe Ore is Absolutely Free

mine. have taken a great many
samples and find the average be-
tween $2.75 and $3.50. 1t is ab-
solutely free milling and can be
handled with a good profit with
sufficient milling capacity Mr..
Ray added that the entire noun
tain could be mined. In the sum-
mer the ore could be quarried out
from the surface, but in the win
ter the ore supply would have to
be secured from under ground.
"The great feature of the camp
next to the ore bodies," said Mr..
Ray, is that the ore is absolutely
free milling. Plates only are
needed. You don't have to have
concentration machinery or any
thing else beyond the batteries
and plates. There is no base in
the ore, and the values can be
saved by simple amalgamation. ="
This reduced the cost to a min
imum, he said, and left nothing
to be hauled out or reduced by
some more expensive process.
Referring to the conditions at
the time of the boom, Mr.. Ray
said there was nothing showing
then but the low value on the
surface of the mountain. If there
had been such a showing then as
there is now, he added, the dis
trict would have Immediately Sc
cured a large population. But
those who went in were discour-
aged; they told discouraging stor-
les when they came out, and thus
an idea was spread abroad that
the district did not have values.
That conclusion was natural, but
it has since been demonstrated
that the district was very rich.
Mr.. Ray visited the Sunnyside.
He found rich channel opened
up that was fully thirty feet thick
and abont 200 feet wide, and its
length had not yet been deter
mined. He took a number Of
average samples from different
parts of the works and these Far
from SIS to 500 per ton. There
was a vast amount of ore in sigh
he said, and this was all of tn,
free milling character as that O.
, the Dewey.
1t may be added here that there
are 108 men at work in the min,
and in preparing for the arriva
Of the mill. Twenty carpenter
are to be sent out on Saturday
The sawmill is running and ha
= already turned out 100000 fee

The Boise Statesman says:

llC DOlOO DICOOOlllclll Ocly
Those who have kept watch
of the developments at Thunder
Mountain became convinced long
ago that there was no doubt that
the camp was rich and would be-
come a great producer. The
Statesman is able this morning,
however, to give the judgment
of a mining man of the first class
regarding the wealth of the dis
trict after having made three
critical examinations of the prop
erty situated there.
The man referred to is E. M.
Ray, the widely known mining
man. He was in Boise yesterday
after having made a trip to the
camp, this being the third time
he has gone in there to examine
the Dewey mine for Mr.. Barns
dali. Two years ago he made the
first trip. At that time he was
very non-committal, He found
some things which interested
him, but the development was so
limited that he was not prepared
to make up his mind. Last year
he visited the district again and
came out with pronounced opin-
ion in its favor.
Now, after his third eXamina-
tion, Mr.. Ray endorses the camp
without qualification. He said
yesterday: "The development
assures the camp a place among
the richest in the country l feel
perfectly justifable in sa. ing SO
much as that, and l might add
that in my opinion, the district is
likely in two or three years to be
better than Cripple Creek"
(; Continuing. Mr.. Ray said he had
teen attracted on his frs visit by
the fact that the entire mass OF
the porphyry surface of Thunder
Mountain, where the Dewey mine
is located, carried gold. He could
not find a place where it did not
assay. 1t was his opinion then
that where such an immense body
cf rock assayed, better ore would
be found in the vicinity. That
has been proved by the develop
ments. There are channels run.
ming through the mountain, the
grade of which runs up as high
as $40 ton in gold. 1t is not
known how many of these chan
nels there are, but the one devel
oped is of great size.
Of the general mass of porphyry
Mr.. Ray says: 1t averages high
er than the ore Of the Treadwel

countered the property should be
one of the leading mines of the
camp,
''The Lucky Lad is making a
fine showing and every foot of
work shows the property to be
getting better. They have re-
Gently come across some good ore
in the mine, and it should be one
of the big propositions Of the
camp.
AT the Colonel there is some
work going on, but the bad air
makes it impossible to do contin-
uous development. A pipe line
is to be put in soon and the prop
erty can then be worked full
force. Values are steadily in
creasing and the showing is fine.
ION the Jumbo and Cracker
jack there are great showings.
These properties are so thorough

there are closely watched. The
Jumbo has made great strides

Geo. D. Walters returned from
the Hump Monday, where he
went to look for work. He re-
ports the camp rather quietel
than he expected to find it, but
it is going ahead steadily. The
pay roll is being gradually in
creased and comprises now about
100 men. The Crackerjack com
pany has let a 300 foot contrac-

School Notes.


J. NJ. \. school established here
have never sent a child a day to
the school?
Did it ever enter the minds of
our citizens that the manage
ment of the J. NJ. A. will con-
clude that after another years
work or so that the people of
Jacksan need no other school
than the public school?
Did it ever occur to you that to
let a pupil attend the public
school one year and the j. NJ. a,
the next year was no help to
either school or pupil?
Again, did you ever realize
that it was unfair to send your
boy or girl to the j. NJ. A. six
months or a year when he or she
could scarcely read or write, and
then after the patient work of the
teachers get them so they could
learn something to send them
away?
Another kind of patrons that
would not be very highly appre-
ciatec by US were we teacher are
those who Just send this year to
help the school out"
We will also make this state &.
ment, without fear of successful
contradiction The public school,
to do justice to the j. Nj. A.,
should admit no outsiders be-
cause the public school does not
need the pupils and the other
school does.
The present management of
the J. NJ. a. has proven to our
citizens that with very hard work
the school has successfully run
for two years
Did it ever occur to the advl-
sorry board that if the }. NJ. a. is
not good enough to send their
children to that it is hard to make
people away from here believe
that it is a good school to send
their children.
Some of our citizens seem to
think the hope of owning the j. Nj.
A. building after running sue
cessful school for ten years is a
big thing. Were it US we should
have to inform them. that school
building, however fine, is nothing
without pupils.
In the language of DR.. j l..
Jenkins, these remarks are
thrown out with the spirit OF
intensity and astonishment" and
that Profs. Birmingham and
Hamlin will work hard and earn
estly this year, and then next
year will expect more help from
Jackson. We will say here that
Profs. Birmingham and Hamlin
are good teachers and the j. NJ,
A., under their management, Is
good enough TO be attended 10y
any pupil in this county.
This week Coils. Birmingham
and Hanllin will visit the homes
of our Jackson people and SEE
how many pupils Jackson viii
send to the j. NJ. \. this year
When they come do not meet
them with, so yes, think the
j. NJ. \. is a good thing foI
Jackson, but our boy will go tc
the normal this year" Or
"Well, we would like to senC
our girl to the j. NJ. A. but she
thinks she will learn more by
going off. Such remarks as these
do the j. NJ. A. professors no good
and the sending of your boys anc
girls away to school will cause
the j. NJ. A. to come to an end il
year or two more. Nothing
will make your Jackson Military
academy go here but patronage
