OVER $10,000 IN NINETY HOURS Fstther and Four Sons MaUlnc For- tonci on a Fealc Where Thnoder Ix Continually Rollins. BOIS3, Idaho, Aus. 25. There arrived la this city last evening William Caswell end wire. A. B., Cv R.. L. G., D. G. Cas well, all from Thunder Mountain, being lha father, mother and four sons. These people are the owners of the famous Thunder Mountain placer and quartz mines. In the southern part of Idaho County. This deposit Is perhaps the most peculiar in the world, being Indeed a mountain of conglomerate material, carrying high values In gold, and where in 90 hours of piping the Caswell boys have taken out, as per returns from the Government assay office In this .city, 510, 203 57. Speaking of the country. Ben Cas woll said: "Thunder Mountain Is about SOOO feet high, a conglomerate mass of rock, sand, etc., and every Inch of it, so far as we have been able to determine. Is pay. It was not found in the regular way or prospecting, but rather by accident. My brothers and I had been out prospecting in the section about, the south fork of the Salmon River all of the Summer of 3892, and we found many things that in terested us, indications In plenty of good veins of pay rock, as well as of placers. "We determined to exploit the section xthoroughly. but the snow drove us out ior that Winter. The next Spring, how ever, we started In again, but went over a. different route, in somewhat a round about way. through the Meadows, "War ren, and then across country. We pur posed pushing through without delay, and had followed that line for some time. But eoon wo began to hear mutterlngs, as though the elements were continually grumbling, these Increasing continually, till they became so loud and constant that we could not hear each other speak unless we fairly yelled. Riding along at the foot of the mountain whence seemed to rise this rumbling, or in fact, thunder. we encamped one night on a small but ewift creek, and here, after supper. I took a stroll, carrying with me a gold pan. Coming to a good place, I took out a. panful of the gravel and panned it. with the result of something over a dol lar in gold. I went back to camp and showed the stuff, and right then we made camp and have never since broken It. We went to work, and that season put in a small ground sluice, and did a little mining, but the water season was so short that we made little more than grub money for the next year, our ditch ing having occupied so much time. But we put in provisions and stayed there that Winter, preparing for the Spring work, such as ditching when we could, and then whlpsawlng lumber and putting together flume and sluice boxes, so that by the time the water began running we were prepared for It, and in the two mon.ths of that next season we made a good clean-up. This season, from a num ber of causes, we were not prepared to take advantage of all the water to be utilized, so we put In only 90 .hours' actual piping, but the result, as you see, is 110,203 E7. "Thunder Mountain Is so named because there seems to generate there continu ous thunder. To me it seemed that if there was a storm within a radius of hundreds of miles, the thunders would echo on this peak. It Is the dividing ridge between Monumental and Marble Creeks, and the divide that makes up Its foot hills runs about north and south. It stands at an elevation of 9000 feet, heav ily timbered, with a smooth surface and top. It Is porphyrltic, with the surround ing country of a basaltic character. The porphyry carries the gold, though I be lieve the whole eminence is of a sedi mentary character, this conclusion being based upon many things. When first taken out, the rock Is hard and appar ently like all other, yet upon exposure to the air for a year or two it slacks out, turning Into a sort of mud or clay. Throughout this, at various deplns. wo find all manner of vegetable substances, as well as lignite, -stone coal, and char coal, and It is a fact that all these sub stances prospect welj in free gold, showing that they were left here with the gold as it was brought from its original source. That It is not from ledges within the hill itself seems ap parent, for we have been as yet unable to find a single lead or ledge in the whole three miles square, though we have prospected It thoroughly. Opinion Is di vided as to this formation, but I think It is wholly sedimentary, and of recent origin. To examine the formation of Thunder Mountain is interesting. I take it that this was at one time a lake, and that when the upheaval came the waters were dissipated and the excava tion filled with the washings from sur rounding mountains. These washings car ried materials to make the porphyries now found in the completed mountain. With this material there was, of course, much gold, which settled very naturally and gradually with the material with which it was associated in transit. "Thunder Mountain is about 170 miles from Boise, almost due north, and may now be easily reached, by way of the state wagon road from this city to Bear Valley, thence by an excellent trail we have made, 40 miles to the camp. We have this season taken In 5000 pounds of supplies over this route, and found It in ' ever?' way feasible. There are but two j other outfits In that section beside our- j selves who stay all Winter, and. while there have been many prospectors In there this Summer, all will Winter out side. It is not a bad place to Winter, though the season is long, with consid erable snow. Still the cold is not in tense and there Is game of every species common to high altitudes. While conducting our placer operations right along, we have also paid considerable at tention to the quarts possibilities, and for that reason have prospected carefully, and for a width of 1000 feet we have stripped the surface and taken samples. finding the material throughout, without ' a barren spot, to average above JS per I ton, the assays running from $2 SI to 526. The $2 E7 rock was in what we and all others considered absolutely dead ma terial. It is a quartr body. We aro simply washing the surface compositions, having 100 Inches of water which we bring to the ground In a ditch a .quarter of a mile long. By putting In a two-mile ditch we could get 200 inches, and this would last at least two months every season, which is not the case with our present facilities. "During the time we have been in that section we have cleaned up about one half an acre, and in the ground we are working there are 14 acres. There is no gravel, as such, though some of the de posit has that appearance. There Is no black sand, but instead "there are sul phurets. running high in gold. While the entire mountain appears to be gold-bearing In paying quantity, we find many rich pockets. Last Winter I discovered, while driving a tunnel through which to run our ditch, a small crystallized cavity, and ' in n was a aeposit or gold which vlelded IS ounces." DOUGLAS COUXTT. A necloa Exceptionally Adapted, to Stock and Fruit. Itoseburg Plalndealer. Douglas County is one of the largest of the Western Oregon counties, its eastern and western borders extending from the -b5csop nnnge or mountains to the Pa- clftc Ocean. Its surface is mountainous. ' though intersected with many large and l small valleys, which are drained by nu merous mountain streams, the soil ofi these valleys, being immensely produc tive, while the rolling hills and moun tains furnish a fine range for stock, as well as valuable timber and mines. Fruit-growing is one of the most import ant agricultural industries of the coun ty, this county being placed at the head of the fruit-producing counties of the state. While apples, peaches, pears, cherries and other fruits have given handsome profits to the growers, no other fruit has offered the Inducements or proved to remunerative as the prune. The perfect fitness of the soil tributary to Roseburg and throughout the county, to gether with the mild, equible climate, has led many to engage in prune-growing and Douglas County is now first as a prune producing county In this state. Poultry and stock-raising, grain, hay and garden growing are also counted among the chiefs Industries of the county. VAITJE OF UMATILT,A FARMS. RiSht-of-Wny Prices for the Assessor to Remember.

His philosophy Is so simple and lucid that It appeals to men more than threat of law or prohibition measures. And there Is not a single tendency to pessimism.

Duntley Cansht "While Shifting a Belt Band Wheel Un accountably Broke. A terrible accident occurred at Inman, Poulsen & Co.'s saw mill yesterday morn ing, in which Marcus H. Duntley, a planer, received injuries from which he died late in the afternoon at St. Vincent's Hospital. The accident happened in the large planer department of the mill, which is full of whirling machinery. This particular planer stands near the east end entrance of the building. Duntley was working about the band wheels of this planer, shifting the belt from one wheel to another. Just how the accident hap pened no one seemed .to understand. The men at work In other portions of the building were horrified to ' hear Duntley cry out, and saw him whirled with the belt and dragged around the band wheel, which now flew into pieces from some TEMPERANCE. cause. The band wheel is close to the floor. Duntley was dragged over and un- dor the ragged portions of the wheel! The power was turned off as quickly as possible by the other employes, but not until the unfortunate man was terribly Injured. Duntley was wedged In under! tne oroKen wheel m.such a way that It took some time to get him out, and he was only released by shifting the shaft of the band wheels. At first it was thought he had been killed outright and the Coroner was sent for, but it was seen that Duntley was alive and the patrol wagon was ordered. It was found that both legs were crushed, his left arm broken, his collar-bone and breastbone Injured, a bad gash on one side of his head, and his body was cov ered with bruises. Duntley, it seems, was In the act of shifting the belt from the outer to the middle band wheel, with which to start the planer with a lever. He was caught by the belt, which gave way. The band wheel flew to pieces. The parts were hurled some distance. One piece tore through a metal conveyor near the celling Just what caused the wheel to go to pieces is not known. One man, who aided In releasing Duntley, said that the accident was -caused by the explo sion or breaking lip of the band wheel.

This Is the secend time these two local champions have come together, and each now has a match to his credit. Goss played his customary steadv, consistent r.-vme. and Smith played In his usual dashing, brilliant manner. Smlih was wilder and more erratic than In the pre vlo,iUu match, and he lost because of thejrreat number of balls knocked out. Ofthe 152 points made by Goss, 69 were eAt on outs by Smith. The: .whole match was replete with ex citing" rallies, and abounded In clever' passes and difficult returns. In the first set Smith's unsteadiness became appar ent, and with the games 3-2 dgalnst him, Goss took three games In succession. Smith secured the ninth game after a deuce had been called three times, but just when he needed another game to tie' the score he collapsed, knocking out three and ne'tlng one. giving Gcss the set. fi-1. The second set was short and went to Goss. 6-2, Smith winning the first and third games on his own service. With two sets against him. Smith played more carefully and accurately, artd took the third set, 6-4. For a while It looked as though Smith would win the fourth set. The games were 3-2 In his favor, but he lost the next game after deuce had been called seven times. This perturbed him. and Goss took two straight at love and deuce. As In the first set, with the score 5-3 against him, Smith made a tempo-. rary stand and won the ninth game on his service, but again he went up in the" air and knocked four balls out, losing that set.- 6-4.

Testerday the Woman's Relief Corps was In charge at the reunion at Haw thorne Park, and presented an interest ing programme of addresses and musical selections to the audience that had gath ered. After a patriotic selection by Brown's orchestra. Judge Mayo, president of the association, arose and announced that the day would be observed as Woman's day, and that the veterans would accord ingly turn over the programme to gen tleness and beauty. He then formally In troduced Dr. Flora Brown and left the platform to the Woman's Auxiliary. Mrs. Brown responded with appropriate words of greeting, and extended an Invitation to any who wished to join the organiza tion. She stated that their banner was broad and admitted all. Miss Welsh then sang "The Star-Spangled Banner," when Mrs. S. E. Miller, past department president of the Relief Corps of Oregon, was introduced. She read an excellent nansr nn "U'nmnn'. Work for the Soldier." Beginning with ' the work of Florence Nightingale, whom ' she took as a living example of woman's heroism and devotion to duty, she traced the history of women in war down to our present time, when she took up Clara j Barton's services in the Civil War and i In the recent War with Spain. Woman's helping hand was indispensable not only ' during war, dui ai us ciose, wnen there was so much confusion and suffering. She was needed then to assist the men, whose wrecked health and disabled bod ies rendered them unfit for the labor that gained them the necessities of life. It was woman's duty to aid them both ma terially and spiritually, to administer the cheering sympathy. Mrs. Miller then re viewed the work and Influence of the Woman's Relief Corps, and, In closing, stated that from the time of its organiza tion up to 1S99, the sum of $1,875,158 S6 had been expended in the relief of suf fering. Mrs. James Church and Miss Welsh next sang solos in a very acceptable man ner. Mrs. L. H. Addlton, who spoke on "Patriotism," opened her address with a gem from Sam Simpson, "Unfurl the Flag," which she delivered in her usual vigorous and finished style. In part, she said: "Great epochs of progress have de pended upon the strength of the women. We find many Instances both In biblical and other history where the women have contributed largely to the success of a nation. England was lifted out of a crisis in her national affairs by the sagacity and statesmanship of Elizabeth, and there are Instances in every county where woman has steered safely Into port the ship of state. The world's record of progress is replete with the names of women who, by their great courage and nobility of character,, have worked re forms towards civilisation and enlighten ment. But, in our review of patriotic women, we must not forget the women who remained at home. There wore those who from the fireside upheld the Ameri can home while the men upheld the American Nation. Those weary weeks and months of anxious waiting and suf fering were hard to bear and required quite as much courage as to face tha enemy's guns. "In teaching children pitriotism they should bo instilled with the truth of the National organization. They should know and love those principles, temperance, loyalty and devotion to duty, that make a nation great. A bad. Intemperate man is worse and does more harm than a bad dollar. And in your Instruction don't for get to teach the God-given law of fra ternity. It Is an open sesame to peace and will lift us out of troubles. It Is a law that controls the universe. Life Is a great circle and full of much suffer ing and discouragement unless this law of fraternity pervades it." The afternoon session closed with the singing of "America," after which the Woman's Relief Corps held "a business meeting. The following officers for the year were elected: President, Mrs. Laura Smith: first vice-president. Dr. Flora Brown; second vice-president, Mrs. Agnes pir7!5555B Ogilbeo; secretary. Miss Myrtle Bates: treasurer, Mrs. Hattle Belden; executive board, Mrs. S E. Miller, chairman; Mrs. Annie Pool. MTs. O. D. Dolan. Mrs. Amanda Williams, Mrs. M. J. Emily. The ex-Soldiers' and Sailors' Associa tion met In the afternoon, but no busi ness was transacted. The association was calledo order by the president, John E. Mayo, and Jmmedlately adjourned until a future date, which was left to the dis cretion of the president. Last evening a programme of a patri otic nature was given. The orchestra rendered several selections, and Profes sor M. L. Pratt gave an Illustrated lec ture on Abraham Lincoln. The lecture was of a high order, and met with much appreciation. A vote of thanks was ex tended Professor Brown and his orchestra in recognition of their services and the interest they took in the reunion. Today there will be religious services on the grounds at 11 o'clock. BIGGEST WEEK ON RECORD Over Half a Million Shares of Min ing: Stock Sold Last Week. Several new stocks are to be listed soon. Secretary Hard, of the Oregon Mining Stock Exchange, has received, through the kindness of E. C. Pentland, of Grant's Pass,, specimens of quartz from the fol lowing mines of that vicinity: The Ris ing Star mine, on Williams Creek. 20 miles from Grant's Pass; the Copper Stain mine, 35 miles north of Grant's Pass; Sunbeam mine, three miles east of Grants Pass; Gold Bug, 35 miles north; the Oregon Bonanza, 20 miles south; Gol conda, on Applegate River, 14 miles south of Grant's Pass; the Challenge quartz lode, on Applegate River, 4' miles east of Grant's Pass; the Midnight, on Ap plegate River, 14 miles south of Grant's Pass; the May Queen quartz lode, on Green's Creek, 4& miles east of Grant's Pass. Mr. Pentland Is taking a lively Interest In mining matters, and is one of the many Oregonians who are seeing so soorf the direct benefits from the Oregon Min ing Stock Exchange. The samples show every Indication that this former well known placer mining section Is liable to take Its place among the lode mining sections of the state. Placer mining has been so profitable that, until recently, no attention ha3 been paid to the lode mining. The dally call, at 10:30 A. M., is becom ing an attractive hour.
