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.

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

Joe Smith Loses to Walter A. Goss
by Erratic Piny.
The tennis match of the week was
that between Joe Smith and Walter A.
Coss, won by the latter. C-4. C-2. 4-0, tf-4.
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.

WOMAN'S DAY AT REUNION
Mrs. S. E. Miller and Mrs. L. H. Ad
diton Speak in Behalf of Their Sex.
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

"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

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
