Jdaho, May 2C (Special corre spondence.) I left Thunder Mountain May 15 Xor a brief trip outside." The sun had been beating down for several days, much after the fashion of Summer, the snow was melting rapidly, and tho streams rising with equal rapidity. So sudden was the Increase in the volume of water In all the creeks that the pack train from Salmon, conveying a second installment of merchandise to the store on Mnble Creek, found the crossing of that stream wholly impassable, turned back and attempted to force a way through by the Summer cut-off a trail which leads over a high pass. While the melt ing snow, swollen streams, the bare hill sides, covered with young grass and decked with flowers, offered unmistak able signs of Summer's approach, the high peaks, passes and regions of higher altitudes still carried a deep mantle of snow, which presented discouraging evi dence of the lateness of the season. Though expected for some days previous to my departure, the pack train had not arrived at the time I left, nor was any-, thing definitely known as to when It would arrive. Many men, hearing that provisions could be bought in camp, had come In llcht and as their numhpr rc-pr dally augmented by fresh arrivals, the I numtiuu ui wiiuu me supplies wouia ar rive began to assume something of im portance. Warren Trail the Best. The "Warren trail, which had been the most traveled all Winter, offered greater advantages at this time also than any other; it was certain that one could get out that way. By the other routes it was problematical, but, I have no doubt, probable. The traveler, however, who packs his bed and board on his back de sires above all things to get rid of any element of uncertainty. The trail, which in low -water had followed up .Monu mental Creek, crossing it some 20 times, now crossed it but six times. AH tho other footlogs were washed out. and instead of following the bottom lands along a water grade it became necessary to take to the hillsides, to creep along the rock slides or to ascend to a considerable height, where the mountains had broken sheer and clear, in order to get around, and then clamber down again. As work. It was infinitely more arduous than the low-water trail, but as a feat possible of performance no man with the physical capabilities for packing through a moun tainous country need shrink from It. The Only Danger. The only danger lay in walking foot logs. Some of them, notably that one half a mile above Taylor's cabin, were decidedly springy, and rose and fell Tin der the weight of a man's footsteps in a way that brought into play all his bal ancing ability. At this place I saw three unusually large and hardy men. They had crossed without packs, but were ut terly Incapable of making the attempt with packs on their backs, and were fall ing other trees, braelnir thp nni nirondv across, and resorting to every means their nunas couia aevise to strengthen, stiffen and broaden a crossing which now re minded them of nothing so much as a tightrooe. Their precautions were sen s ble, for no man could live In that rag ing torrent with a pack on his back, were he the best swimmer in the world. But the mouth of Monumental Is reached In 24 miles, and then the trail .takes up Big Creek. Then It Is easy going, with, out danger and without special difficulty. As I approached Elk Summit I was sur pr'fed that the snow had not receded farther; for six or seven miles It still stocd deep. A few horses and a few bur ros had been taken over the summit In the early mornings after cold nights, l'Ut the carcasses of several animals, the flesh already partly eaten away by tve bears, showed where the poor brutes had floundered to exhaustion and starved to death in the deep snow thnt lay be tween the green grass on one side of the ri'mmlt and the green grass on the other Ide of It. One old man vainly endeav sred to revive his spent nag's strength by sharing with him his beans and flour, but the animal never recovered sufficient ly to wallow to the forage below the snow line. In a Storm on Elk Summit. I encountered a hard storm on" Elk Summit on May 17, and had great diffi culty In getting across. Tho now snow was knee deep, and a biting wind drifted It over the trail until every sign was obliterated. Below the summit, down on the south fork of. Salmon, where the grass was green and luxuriant, pros pectors were camped everywhere, waiting until it became possible to cross with their animals. Between the south fork and Warren the snow was pretty well gone, except right on that summit, and there it was passable with horses. I met quite a number of pack outfits plodding along. From Warren to Resort the snow was practically gone, and where a few weeks before had been but a nar row trail a wagon road was now visible. It should be passable for teams by July i. At Resort the stables were filled with horses, and horses unable to find ac commodation were tethered outside. A large crowd of men filled to the point of suffocatldn the lounging-room of Fred's Hotel. Nearly all had come by Grange ville. swimminir their hnrnes nrrnw Salmon near where the state bridge was earned out this spring. Borne of the men had. come from Meadows, but those with horses had been obliged to go around by the Salmon, a distance of SO miles, as the trail across Secesh Summit was still deep with snow, and It was too soft and too near the breaklng-up time to bear an animal. Across Secesh Summit. Spending the -night at Resort, I started across Secesh Summit for Meadows tb,e next morning. The trail was free from any tracks but those of foot travelers, showing that horses had not been that way for some time. I met the mall going to Warren, being hauled by three dogs. The top of Secesh Summit Is a nearly level country, extending for four or five miles before It breaks away and descends to Little Lake. It -was all covered with snow. Into which I repeatedly thrust a staff which I carried, and which I should say was about four feet long, down to the end without striking the ground be neath. Still, tho condition of the snow was such that a few really warm days would cut it badly. Though the trail was bare in places, snow extended all the way to Fisher Creek, about 17 tollcs from Meadow. Two miles below Little Lake I met a New York outfit with about M animals wallowing in the snow. They were In charge of Ross Kriegbaum, an old-timer and an experienced man. He told mo that it was his Intention to break the trail across Secesh Summit, thereby opening It for the season. The people of Meadows, for tho first time during the year, finding their route the least desirable by reason of the Secesh snow, had encouraged this ven ture by supplying horse feed gratis. . I have no doubt that the trail will be broken, and that It will remain open there after, for the one that had been broken between Little Lake and Fisher Creek was stamped and thawed practically to the ground. Once that way, firm footing Is assured. From Fisher Creek to Meadows the road followed the shore of Payette Lake for some miles. Freed of Its Ice. It glistened like a mirror, a beautiful body of water surrounded by the greenest of foliage and backed by the bluest of hills. From Pay ette Lake to Boise It was Summer, and It was a delightful change. By the time this is In print It Is safe to say all trails will be open and travel by horses possible and comfortable. An Estimate of the District., That answers all questions pertaining to going to Thunder Mountain, but the question which is constantly propounded to ono coming from the camp is: "What is to be seen when you get there, and what are the prospects for mineral?' That is a question from which a mln- well shrink, or, at most, evasively answer he would not risk his reputation for Infallibility by a conclusion drawn from Insufficient evidence. A corre spondent, "however, has no suchresponsi bllltles, and cannot go Into a camp and come out again without committing him self he must say something. I have care fully weighed all the evidence for and against It, have prospected the rock, had it assayed, and seen as much of the coun try as wqs to bo seen. I unheritatingly say that up to tho present time there is not a particle of evidence against the camp, -absolutely none; and there I? much In its favor. - The Devrey Group. The development on the Dewey group lias thus far shown It good, and with every probability of its being a big prop erty. Back of Thunder Mountain la Lightning Peak. Some men brought down surface dirt from It and rocked out -over $50 inva couple of hours. South of the Dewey, and following its general strike, values have been found all along. From the rock, from an assessment hole, a mile to the south. I got an assay of to 29. The owner assured me It "would not carry anything, and the reason he had done his work there was because it was the easiest place where It could be done. Across Monumental, and to the west of Thunder Mountaln.porphyry dykes bearing close resemblance to that of the Dewey cut the mountains with the same general direction or strike. Along these dykes good, values have been found, and re liable and disinterested men have ossurcd me that they have found colors In pan ning over a considerable area of that country. The same can be said of the Sunnysidc district. Surface values can be found over a wide area and in nearly every direction. That they will go down development alone can tell, but It is far from a discouraging sign of value at depth to find value at the surface. The Important Thins to Lenrn. The Important thing for the prospector to learn in tho Thunder Mountain dis trict Is Tvhat rocks carry the values. He will find different conditions than he has probably encountered elsewhere. There are no quartz ledges in the Immediate district. The value seems to be In the porphyry. Rock of this character, thnt I brought out. and which had "a lean and hungry look," and I would have pro nounced valueless, assayed well. A creamy white porphyry went $2 SI; a bluish colored porphyry carrying large white crys tals of feldspar -went $12 35; and a black ish blue rock yielded ?29 68 gold. Of course, there Is ore of much higher grade. I brought out a slab of rock as large ns my two hands 'that Is plastered with gold it is a specimen, and a pretty one, but not to be taken into account in reckoning the camp's possibilities from a business standpoint. There is an abundance of timber and water in tho country; water power can be developed almost anywhere; and if the ores are free milling, and those who have treated them assure me they are, it will be possible to mine and mill at a very low cost A 100-siamp mill and a 50-stamp mill have already been ordered by two of the companies operating In there, and a wagon road will soon be in course of construction. This Is the evi dence In favor of the camp. By Fall the bubble will have blown larger or bursted. MARSHALL BOND. TREATING PLANT FOR MINE. Main Lrdgc in the Golden Winnrd Believed to Have Been Struck. SUMPTER, May SO.-Manager J. M. McPhee, of the Golden Wizard line, in the Minersvllle district, states that his company Is considering the installation of a large treating plant. The Bhaft, which proved that the vein was of some extent, is now down ISO feet, and CO feet of this is in solid ore, that assays $22 to J21 per ton. There is no wall yet visible. Man ager McPhee has come to believe he has Btruck the main ledge, which ho did not calculate finding short of 500 feet from, the surface where the shaft was started. Surface work on the Golden Wizard is quite extensive, tho ledge being stripped for a good distance. In this part of the work there is $200,000 to $300,000 of ure blocked out. With $23 ore In the shaft at 130 feet depth, a wider ledge than over, no prospect of either wall yet and all other indications favoring. It (a a safe proposition to Install a mill, that the own ers may Immediately begin grinding out values to pay for development and equip ment. The character of the mill has not been determined upon yet. A new style crushing machine, with a partial Jaw moUon and grinding finish, has been reported from Chicago, which will be investigated. This is much cheap er than a stamp mill of the same capac ity, and may be experimented with by the Golden "Wizard Company. Alamo to Have a Mill This Year. A 20-foot blind lead has been opened up in the long cross-cut being driven at the Alamo mine, in the Alamo district. The lead was struck at a distance of about 700 feet from the mouth of tho tunnel. It is a large water course, but it Is now under control, and work is concentrated on the crosscut, which will be continued until the main lead is cut, a distance of over 200 feet from the present breast of the crosscut. No drifting has been done on tho blind lead yet. but fair values -were found, and the management will later open It up on both sides of the crosscut After greater depth is attafned which the vein will bear, as It has fine walls, bearing heavy strata of talc, it is believed values will ba much better, be cause water would not leach so badly there. Owners of the Alamo state that this season will undoubtedly see a large mill erected on their property. Too Much Ore lor Mill. The stoplng force has been laid oft at the Columbia, as the few men. at work broke ore down so rapidly that the 20-stamp mill could not handle it. The ledge of this property is so large that it is not difficult for a few miners to supply an Immense mill. But 100 feet of the new Bonanza shaft remain to be completed. It has been driven frcm the lower workings reached by the old shaft, the laborers working up ward, .and tho -waste being removed -by means of the old shaft BUSINESS ITEMS. If Baby Is CuttlHsr TV,.

To Avoid Trouble He Is Encouraging the Indians to Attend a Feast in Idaho. SPOKANM. May SO. "The 'sooner troubles on the Spokane Indian reserva tion area great, deal more serjious "than has been generally supposed," said Indian Agent A, M. Anderson today. "The strain between the Indians and the 'sooners' has cctne near to the breaking point several times, and It has kept me busy to prevent bloodshed. The rupture Is not yet over, although it Is much caster than 10 days ago. "Since the troubles commenced we havo driven 500 'sooners' off the reservation, and it has kept a force of 100 rden moving to do It The regular force of Indian con stabulary numbers 23 men. We have been compelled to Increase the force to S3 men, and In addition 15 white men from around the agency have superintended the work of the Indians. With every five Indians whom we sent out to guard the reserve we sent a white man, for the Indians felt so bitter toward the 'sooners that there was danger of fierce bloodshed B. G. Lecdy. If -the red constables should chance upon a 'sooner' without a white officer to pre serve the semblance of order. "The reservation is now free and 1 think the 'sooners are learning that all efforts to stake ground now are useless. They must wait until the President, by proclamation, opens the ground, after It him hcn min'ovcl ami -f?i Trullnns hnvA received their allotments. It ' will be at j least a year before that Is accomplished. "In order to prevent trouble between the v whites and the Indians "l have en couraged the Indians to go-over to the Coeur d'Alene reservation to attend tho feast of Corpus Chrlstl this week. About 200 of th'em have made the trip, which ac counts for the unusual number of Indians in the city lately." PIONEER ADJUDGED INSANE. . TVclI-Known Grny's Harbor Contrac tor Sent to Ftellncoom. ABERDEEN, "Wash., May 30. Duncan Drummond, one of the pioneers of Aber deen, was taken to Montceano yesterday for examination as to his sanity, and, J Demg round ot unsound mind, was com mitted to Stellacoom. Drummond was one of the best-known characters in tho Gray's Harbor country, and his career here was most interesting. He first made h!a appearance in Aberdeen In 1SK2. Be ing a singularly handsome man, tall, erect and always faultlessly dressed, lie at tracted public attention at once, hut the only Information he ever gave about him self was his nam, and that he was a nativo of one of the Canadian provinces. Son .after his coming here he entered up a claim near where South Aberdeen Is now located, made somo Improvements on the property and then returned to Canada, having ben appointed superintendent of construction on the Canadian Pacific Rail way, then building through to the Coart Drummond returned here at Intervals, and when the boom struck the town he showed up again, went on hie homestead, platted It into town lots and. named the place "Drummond." He was offered $S0. 000 for his holdings, but refused to sell, and In 1SSS was lad to take $12,000 for hl claim. This money he spent for clothing, being always a regular Beau Brummell In attire and manners. By 1593 his money wna all gone, and protracted Illness and failure to rise again in any business he undertoo'k so wrought upon his nerves that ho became a physical and mental wreck. For the past nine years he has lived upon the charity of those who knew him in his better days, sleeping around the mills and degenerating into a truly pitiable object. He never epoke of hav ing any relatives, but it we learned at the examination yesterday that some members of his family live at Ashton, near Ottawa, Ont RACE DECLARED OFF. Chehnlis "Wanted to Race, but "Went Agroand on Gray's Harbor. ABERDEEN, Wash., May 30. The steamer Chehalis, Captain Thompson, and the San Pedro Captain Johnson, cleared from hero yesterday afternoon, side by side, bound for San Francisco. Friends of the two b'oats made" up a wager on. the voyage, tho San Pedro being allowed a handicap of five hours. Just below town the San Pedro forged ahead, and tho Chehalis, thinking to cut her out of the lead, sheered out of the main chan nel and before any one on board knew It she was firmly stuck on Cow Point, -while her more fortunate rival steamed on at full speed, sending back a series of de risive shrieks from her big fog whistle, Tho Chehalis was fast aground this mcrn Ing.'and had to remain until full flood to night before she can be floated.

It Is proposed to have & sawmill, shingle mill, planing mill, box factory and dry kiln. Lumber is to be brought down the river from the mountains. George 8. Rankin, one of the promoters of the Industry, said today: "About 30 cars of machinery -will be hore in a few days. Including equipments for camps, for we are going to do our own logging. In June men will be put to work In the woods, and we expect to have 3,000.000 feet of lumber driven down to the mill by the first of November.
