THUNDER MOUNTAIN IDAHO A
MINERAL TREASURE HOUSE
Fortunes of Gold Are Koine Found In
tlic Contor of tlio Stuto of Idaho
Thunder Mountain the new Idaho
gold Held is the most promising min
eral region in the United States Tho
richness of this country was not
known until late In the fall of 1901
after heavy snows had closed all ave
nues by which the region might be
reached except upon snowshoes Not
withstanding this fact Colonel W H
Dewey of Idaho and others who have
had wide experience in mining have
expended vast sums in the purchase of
undeveloped claims The surface indi
cations are marvelously rich These
gold bearing ledges from 100 to 300
feet will run through a mountain par
allel to each other In the Dewey
mine this vast deposit has values run
ning from 7 to 4000 per ton and the
plates of the 10 stamp mill which runs
on the ore have to be cleaned of their
accretions of gold every six hours
In a few weeks two miners last
spring cleaned up 7500 in placer gold
using a small cotton hose to wash
the gravel the water coming from a
small reservoir on the mountain side
The mineral zone covers a large sec
tion of hitherto unexplored country
and is about 175 miles from a railroad
There are five routes leading to the
Thunder Mountain country viz via
Ketchum Mackay Boise and Weiser
Idaho and Redrock Montana all on
- the Oregon Short Line railway A
great rush to this mecca for miners is
predicted and On to Thunder Moun
tain will be as familiar as the old
watchword Pikes Peak or Bust as
soon as the snows disappear so that
the camp may be reached with sup
plies which will probably be between
May 15 and June 1 A scarcity of pro
visions at present keeps miners away
as flour at 50 per sack is considered
somewhat of a luxury even in the gol
den land
Surrounding Thunder Mountain is a
large section of country adapted to
agriculture and stock raising
D E Burley general passenger
agent of the Oregon Short Line rail
road at Salt Lake City sent an expert
to report upon that country and will
cheerfully give any information re
quired as to the routes and general
conditions in and around the great
mining camp

FUTILE ATTEMPT TO EXAMINE
MOUTH OF VOLCANO
SEES ML PELEE IN ERUPTION
He Gets Near but Says No Sane Man
Would Accend Crater in Action
Declines to Predict What trie Vol
cano Still Active Will Do
FORT DE FRANCE Island of Mar
tinique May 28 A tremendous explo
sion of very black smoke from Mount
Pelee at 915 oclock this morning ac
centuated the fear entertained for the
safety of George Kenuan the Amer
ican author who with a land party
has been examining the northern part
of the island The governor of Mar
tinique M LeHuerer was at once
seen with the object of arranging for
a rescue party to proceed by land in
connection with the voyage along the
coast of the United States cruiser
Cincinnati should such steps appear
necessary
At about 11 oclock this morning
Fernand Cierc a wealthy land pro
prietor of Martinique arrived here and
announced that Mr Kennan and his
party were safe on a plantation at the
north end of the island
Prof Robert T Hill United States
government geologist and head of the
expedition sent to Martinique by the
National Geographical society who
left Fort de France Monday on horse
back for the volcano returned here
this morning He was completely
worn out by his trip
Speaking personally of his expedi
tion to Mount Pelee Prof Hill said
My attempt lo examine the crater of
Mont Pelee has been futile I suc
ceeded however in getting very close
to Morne Rouge At 7 oclock Monday
night I witnessed from a point near
the ruins of SI Pierre a frightful ex
plosion from Mont Pelee and noted the
accompanying phenomena While
these eruptions continue no sane man
should attempt to ascend to the crater
of the volcano Following the salvos
of detonations from ths mountain
gigantic mushroom shaped columns of
smoke and cinders ascended into the
clear starlit sky and then spread in
a vast black sheet to the south an
directly over my head Through this
sheet which extended a distance c
ten miles from the crater vivid and
awful lightning like bolts flashed with
alarming frequency They followed
distinct paths of ignition but were
different from lightning in that the
bolts were horizontal and not perpen
dicular This is indisputable evidence
of the explosive oxidation of the
gases after they left the crater
This is a most important observa
tion and explains in part the awful
catastrophe This phenomenon is en
tirely new in volcanic history
I took many photographs but do
not hesitate to acknowledge that I was
terrified But I was not the only per
son so frightened Two newspaper
correspondents who were close to
Morne Rouge some hours before me
became scared ran three miles down
the mountain and hastened into Fort
de France
The people on the north end of
the island are terrified and are fleeing
with their cattle and effects I spent
Tuesday night in a house at Deux
Choux with a crowd of 200 frightened
refugees
The volcano is still intensely active
and I cannot make any predictions as
to what it will do

Ashley North Dakota June 2d J
H Hanson of this place has found a
cure for Dropsy
For years Mr Hanson himself has
suffered with Rheumatism of the
Heart and Dropsy and of late has
been so bad that he could not work
He has tried many remedies but
nothing he could get helped him in the
least and he was growing worse and
worse
Finally he began a treatment of
Dodds Kidney Pills and to his great
delight he soon found that the Dropsi
cal Swelling was gradually going down
and that the Rheumatism of the Heart
was also disappearing He says
I have taken seven boxes of Dodds
Kidney Pills and am feeling better
than I have for five years
I am able to work again and if the
Dropsy or Heart Trouble ever comes
back I will use Dodds Kidney Pills at
once

husbands
