BOISE. 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

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

"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

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."

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
