Great Rash Expected in There Early Next Spring. GRANGEVILLE THE OUTFITTING POINT Warrens is the Key to the Rich Mining District. T. W. Thompson, better known as Long Thompson, is out from Warrens where he spent the summer, and reports the camp as being very lively with the multitude of people outfitting there for the Thunder Mountain country and contiguous and adjacent territory. Of course, travel has mainly suspended for the winter, nevertheless there is considerable activity connected with the new camp, for many enterprising people are making the effort of their lives to get in supplies of everything in order to be on deck when the boom sets in next spring. Storekeepers, hotel keepers, saloon and restaurant men and others have several hundred tons of freight already stored at Warrens, and some of them have gone to the extreme of employing dog teams to transport a portion of their freight over the divide into the new camp. A man named Beaver, an old Alaska packer, has a 30-ton team with which he has already made three trips into the camp and will continue this method of freighting all winter. There is a good deal of snow on the Elk creek summit, and it is significant that everybody in the southern part of the state looks first to Warrens, and have abandoned all efforts to get freight into the new camp from the southern end. The fact is Warrens is the key to the situation and the people who ignore it are going to get badly left. Incidentally, we may state that Warrens can be reached from Orangeville over the state wagon road two months earlier in the spring and two months later in the fall than from any other point. The fact should also be remembered that Orangeville is the nearest and cheapest outfitting point. To the Thunder Mountain mines. * o o O 11 Ü O <  Riches Are Eulogized by Carl Johnson. ors of the and In for it The riches of Thunder mountain were never more fervently nor in telligently exploited than they were on the return of Carl John son from the new camp, and while he betrayed the effect» of a hard trip, he feels that he was compen sated for all that was endured, says the Salt Lake Herald. In the lo cality he found about one hundred and twenty-five persons equipped for a continous campaign through the winter with the Dewey, for which the present owners recently shelled out $100,000 spot, as the star attraction, bodies Mr. Johnson was enthusias tic, and confessed that conditions as he had found them in the bo nanza exceeded all that had been depicted by those who had preceded him on the ground. The new mill, with a battery of ten stamps, is being rushed for a start about Jan uary 15, and with everything ready for active stoping the plant should experience no difficulty in turning out dividends. The var ious workings having been glutted with ore, it was necessary to with draw the men from them. No less impressive were the dis closures in the property of the Gold Ridge Mining company, the reef of gold bearing ore which is being opened up there correspond ing with that on which the Dewey claim is located, while the Sunny side group, with which the Caswell boys have positively refused to part, is responding as did the Dewey under their direction. Not only did he find gold in the reefs on the mountain, but in the gravel of every creek that radiates from Thunder Mountain, and he looks for developments next season equal to those that have made Cripple Creek famous. On Smith Creek, Mr. Johnson was shown large bodies of ore that showed from fifty to 260 ounces silver, fifteen percent lead, and $7 gold per ton. The copper-bearing ledges of the Big Creek reveal from $6 to $20 in gold, while on Profile Creek, there was a surface showing of eighteen feet between walls, with a full breast of ore in an 80-foot tunnel that averages thirteen percent copper and $17 gold per ton. The country, with plenty of timber, water, and game, is an ideal one, says Mr. Johnson, and he looks for it to become one of the most populous in the west in a short time.

The annual report of the directors of the Union Pacific railroad is interesting reading to our people. The reasons for acquiring control of the Northern Pacific are thus stated: "Developments in connection with the constantly increasing traffic of the northwest, and of the states of the Pacific slope and the vital importance of securing for the Union Pacific system its due proportion of the tonnage and revenue tributary to its lines, rendered it essential in the judgment of the board of directors that steps should be taken to maintain and protect the position of the system and to safeguard its future against combinations of other lines. In furtherance of this policy and for the purpose of developing and extending the business of the system and opening nett channels of interchange, the directors deemed it necessary to acquire 178,108,000 par value of the Stock of the Northern Pacific Company. From this it will be seen that the Union Pacific people have not surrendered the Clearwater twain, and of in B. How Do You Know Those baking powders are made from alum?

Tom Johnson, one of the California argonauts of '48 and owner of some fine placer property Fall creek, was out from Salt river this week en route to his old home in Logansport, Indiana, where he goes to interest people in the opening of his mines. He knows the mountains of this county like children know their A. B. C., and he says that the best way to reach the new Thunder Mountain country is by way of Grangeville, and thenoe either by way of Warrens or Buffalo Hump and Dixie. He visited the new camp quite recently and says that the surface showings are a revelation to him, and he knows every mining camp in the west and thinks Thunder Mountain caps the sheaf. A company with 11,000,000 capitalization has been organized at Dover, Delaware, to work the Belle of Thunder Mountain group in the new camp.
