The Boston Transcript of April 15 said , editorially : " 80 years of piano building , during which the business founded by Jonas Ohiokoriug in 1823 , lias grown from modest beginnings to Its present reputation and vast pro portions , wore celebrated by Ohic-koring & Sous last evening in Ohiokoriug hall Upon the platform stood two pianoi spanning the history of the Ohlckor ings. Ouo was the first piano built bj Jonas Ohickoring in 18213 , the firs' ' built in America. Modest , square and simple in design and construction it typified its period as olosoly as did the massive concert grand of the 100 ! ! model , whioh represents the latest advance in piano making. Yet music was the soul of each as was demon strated when Mr. B. J. Lnug played first the ouo and then the other. Dur ing the past week the mnsio trade papers of the country have from one to four pages of Ohiokoriug history , ro- forriug in glowing terms to the great .nrlr tiinf. him boon nRcomnlishcd. the existing harmony between the company and its employees , many of whom have boon iiv their employ for 20 to10 years , in this line ono paper states ; "there hnvo boon various gatherings of Chick- iring employes , but nouoi could have Jurnished a stronger criterion of the unanimity of interest , the feeling of brotherhood , which exists among the men employed in this great factory ; ha n their coming together in Quicker- ng hall last evening to do honor to ho memory of one who was in many ienses n father to the corporation nnd thorn.

The Thunder Mountain Gold Mining and Milling Company has n splendid property of 120 acres , across whioh there is a tremendous vein of free-mill iner ere 30 feet wide and running right into Rainbow Peak. Mr. Charles J. Perkins , general manager of the com pany , spent all last summer in the dis trict.

The company whioh Mr. Perkins rep resents made its first public offering of itock in January , and so many sub- jcriptions have been received that a great deal of the equipment for the mine has been purchased and prepared 'or shipment as soon as the way ia opened for travel. It ia estimated that fully three mil ions of dollars worth of machinery and jqnipmoat is now on the way to Thun der Mountain for variona companies. One of the companies sold stock n year ago at CO cents a share and now it is not to bo bought for $8.00 per share. Thirty other mines are opened and are getting into richer ere every day.
