The Standard
The Burley tunnel at the Standard mine is now driven 260 feet. The rock is now solid requiring no further timbering and the Great Terrett Lode should be cut within … (page torn) tunnel the drift on the lode is in 75 ft. and 65 feet from the beginning of the drift a crosscut of the lode is being made. At this point the lode swerved slightly to the west but is coming back to its former direction. On the foot wall of the lode a drift was started south from the Elk tunnel Tuesday morning.

20th Century
Thirty-one men are on the payroll of the 20th Century Mining & Power Co. and the force is being constantly increased. Work is being pushed on the Central, the Toltac and the Blue Point tunnels.
A. A. Lyden, who is an experienced charcoal burner, has been given a contract to burn 2000 bushels.
The saw-mill, which was started and running smoothly last week, has been obliged to shut down for two or three days on account of an accident. A block of wood passed through the grizzlies and stripped the bevel geared wheel of cogs. The damage can easily be repaired however and sawing will soon proceed.

The Sunnyside.
Work is being pushed at the Sunnyside in preparation for the starting of the mill which will occur in a few days. The tramway is nearly ready, the crusher is being put in place, and the main stope is laid out so that the large number of miners required to furnish the ore may work to advantage. In the Bur Oak tunnel the raise to the blanket is progressing well.
A fine station has been built at the foot of the raise which is underground over 1800 feet. Cars are run under the ore compartments and iron slide doors, opened and closed with levers and worked with perfect case, allow the rock to fill the cars and shut off the discharge at the will of the operator.

Reardon Creek.
On March 11, THE NEWS called attention to the work being done on Reardon Creek by the owners of the Reliance and Helen Gould groups, eight claims in all. The owners are Frank S. Allison, Lester H. Busby and Richard R. Blackburn. Mr. Busby has just returned from the property and may well feel delighted with its showing. A representative of THE NEWS was allowed to pan some of the rock which was brought in and the prospect was … (page torn) group, where the work is now being done, is about three-fourths of a mile from the summit south of Diamond’s road house.
A well defined lode of quartz runs through the property, and in one place is so situated that by running a tunnel diagonally to the vein the ore will be reached in about 45 feet at a depth of 150 feet. The work is already begun on this tunnel. The surface rock is a white oxidized quartz and seems to be entirely free. Mr. Busby and his partners have great faith in this ground and firmly believe they have a valuable mine.
— — — —
Prospective Sale.
Frank B. McCann and Lester H. Busby have made a conditional sale of their property on the east side of Sugar creek about two miles from Rainbow Summit. Capitalists from the East have an option on the group till July 15 for $50,000. A tunnel 65 feet in length has been run and the showing is good. The lode which is of porphyry is 45 feet in width and has both walls of granite well defined.
As the sale depends only upon the verification of the representations made by Mr. McCann and Mr. Busby, it is safe to say that the deal will go through all right.

Big Creek Mines.
B. F. Goldman arrived from Big creek last Friday. In speaking of the country Mr Goldman said that the Independence mine never showed up well as at present. This is a great cyanide proposition. About 600 feet of tunnel work has been done. The rock is looking better and the assays are running higher.
The Crown Mining Co. is just letting a contract for 1200 feet of tunnel. Upon the developments in the main tunnel at the Independence, which joins the Crown Co.’s property, depends whether the work will be done on the Crown group or the Empress … (page torn) …
W. E Edwards is expecting parties from the East to inspect the property in which he is interested.
Shepp Edwards, in drifting for the Sunday lode on his claims, has run into a body of galena ore over twenty feet wide: He expects to reach the Sunday lode in about twenty days.
Mr. Goldman says the road to Big creek is assured. It is now only a question whether it will be built from Warren across the South Fork of the Salmon and over Elk Summit or branch from the Thunder Mountain road at Johnson creek and go up Profile creek. Mr. Goldman warns all travelers to avoid the Snowslide mountain trail for the next few weeks unless they can get over it early in the day. After passing on Friday, he watched two snow slides shoot down the mountain side tearing everything before them.

The Mysterious Slide
Placer Ground on Mule Creek
Of all the mining properties of the Thunder Mountain country perhaps there is not one giving great promise, which is less known and concerning which there has been less said and written, than the Mysterious Slide group owned by Martin Curran and Ben Caswell, and for the past two years under the management of Joe Davis, one of the most thorough mining men in the country. Both the owners and Mr. Davis are reticent men which perhaps accounts for the fact that while, work has progressed steadily, the property has received tittle notice from outsiders.
Three of the five claims of this group are located on Mule creek with the stream flowing down through the middle of the ground, the other two are situated on the south side of the upper two claims and running parallel to them. The group is bounded on the … (page torn) property and thus extends down Mule creek from the Dewey mine about three-quarters of a mile and in a direction almost due west. The beginning of Thunder Mountain’s history was the placer from which the Caswell brothers sluiced some $20,000. This placer was situated on what is now the Dewey ground just above the present site of the Will and some 2000 feet above the Mysterious Slide claims on Mule creek.
At the time the Caswell boys were working their placer and before any ore had been found in place on Thunder Mountain, other parties had located the claims below them, or perhaps the placer would have been found at that time and worked to the mouth of the creek.
Mr. Davis has quietly worked the property and from his study of the formations he has formed a well grounded opinion concerning its possibilities and courteously gave to THE NEW’S representative his theory of its future which is outlined below. Mr. Davis’s cabin is situated in the Mule creek gulch about 1500 feet below the Dewey ground. From this point up the creek is a great gravel deposit the width of the gulch – about 200 feet, and varying from 50 to 100 feet in depth. This deposit probably contains eight hundred thousand tons of gravel and ore float which carries values in gold from $4 to $12 a ton. Mr. Davis considers this a great cyanide proposition. There is plenty of water in Mule creek to run such a plant and the returns would be enormous. The west tunnel on the property has been driven over 200 feet through this deposit obtaining a depth of about 60 feet … (page torn) … is noticed. A good prospect can be panned at any point in the tunnel which has been driven under great difficulties. It is wet and caves continually. The ground swells in places to such an extent that lagging cannot be used but the timber sets must be placed scarcely two feet apart.
A few hundred feet above this tunnel another has been driven 50 feet and there is no change in the formation or values.
Below the cabin little real prospecting has been done but Mr. Davis believes that when properly worked a good placer deposit will be found there.
We have mentioned the two claims on the south side of the other three and adjoining the Dewey. These claims lie on the range of hills which extends from Thunder Mountain proper in a westerly direction. A line in the direction of the Dewey stope would pass right through these claims and so it is not unreasonable to surmise that proper development will discover the ore body. The Missing Link tunnel has been run 450 feet but in a direction nearly east. At the time this tunnel was begun the work at the Dewey had not shown the general trend of the ore there. It is thought that by driving a tunnel due south into the side of the hill a good deposit of ore will be found. It is much to be hoped that this property will be thoroughly worked from this on. The developments thus far certainly indicate an extensive deposit of paying ground.
Mr. Davis is not able to say at this time what the future operations will be but he expects Messrs Curran and Caswell within a few weeks and believes that extensive work will soon be begun.
We feel sure that if given good development work the Mysterious Slide will take its proper place among the other great mines of Thunder Mountain.

Big Creek Wagon Road.
Considerable controversy exists concerning the location of the new wagon road to the Big creek district. We presume the interests of the people living in that district and owning property there have very little right in the matter. The principal question to decide seems to be whether Warren, Meadows, Council and Weiser shall have the financial benefit derived from having that route, the outlet of the Big creek district, or whether Boise shall be the recipient.
The road to Johnson creek can be built for much less cost than to Warren and after it is once built could be used the year round as the Thunder Mountain road over Elk Summit, would become absolutely impassible during several months of the year on account of its great altitude and snowslides.

As we go to press, reports of the oriental situation are meager and uncertain. The movements of the Japanese armies are as … (page torn) shrouded … complete mystery … perfect secret … Field Marshal Oyama’s … moves has contributed largely to his success. With Napoleonic confidence in his own matchless ability as a master of offensive tactics and with perfect reliance upon the courage and blind patriotism of his troops, Oyama has planned and executed some of the most daring and overwhelming operations in the annals of war. Russia waits for the terrible blow she knows will soon be struck. We believe the commander-in-chief, Gen. Linevitch will prove a more aggressive fighter than did Gen. Kuropatkin, but it is difficult to conceive of a general capable of enough resource to vanquish the fanatically patriotic soldiers of Japan commanded by the greatest captain of the age.

The Capital News is an honest, fearless, Democratic newspaper of a high order. We quote from its editorial columns: “They assert at Washington that Senator Gorman scored a victory in the defeat of the San Dominican treaty. Well, what if he did? It is triumphs of this kind that have relegated the democratic party to the rear as a political factor – always opposing some progressive idea, and with no definite purpose of achievement in view. San Domingo needs to feel for awhile. the strong hand of this government to bring order out of the existing chaos, and the president’s plan seems designed for that end. Gorman and his followers would defeat the program outlined without offering any substitute that will bring about a desired result. Such obtuse leadership is destined if adhered to persistently to wreck for all time the stained and leaking ship of democracy.”

Considerable attention is being paid to the deposits on Rainbow mountain. Rainbow mountain was the scene of a lively excitement about eighteen or nineteen years ago, owing to the discovery of rich placers. The placers proving to be quite small, the excitement soon died down. Today, however, there are a number of promising quartz properties on the mountain, and considerable development work is being done.

The reports from the mines this week show increased activity in all directions. Thunder Mountain will soon take its place as a great bullion producer. Six mines and probably eight will have mills or cyanide plants in full operations before winter closes in again. We shall have a large and steady payroll which will continually increase.

His Experience.
“Love, so says a scientific writer, is controlled by vibration,” remarked young Singleton.
“I guess that’s right,” answered Wedderly with a large, open-faced sign; “at least that had been my experience.”
“How’s that?” queried Singleton.
“Well,” explained Wedderly, “I trembled when I proposed to my wife, trembled when I interviewed her father, trembled at the altar, and her ladyship has kept me trembling in my shoes ever since.”

News From Gold Field.
Joseph Cheatham arrived from the Gold Fields country last Friday and is glad to get back to Thunder Mountain where he has extensive mining interests. He says the great rush is now to Bullfrog, and that from 25 to 150 teams arrive there daily. A strip of country from Bullfrog, sixty miles long and twenty miles broad, is completely staked and Mr. Cheatham thinks the belt extends clear through into Northern California. He says the richness of … (page torn) disputed … long by a foot square, said to be worth $60,000. It had been sawed in two and showed a bar of gold running lengthwise several inches in diameter and the whole mass seemed to be alive with the precious metal.
Although thousands of claims have been located in the Bullfrog country, there are but twelve, says Mr. Cheatham which have produced anything or give any promise of producing anything, except the fact that they are situated in a gold producing country. As in all other great strikes the country is entirely overrun and everything is overdone. At least 5000 people are in the vicinity of Bullfrog and at least 3000 are “broke.”
Three stage lines run to Bullfrog and they are taxed to their full capacity.
One great drawback to the country is the great scarcity of water. It sells for 50 cents per barrel and to water a pair of mules or horses at the spring or well costs 25 cents. A ranch there with a good spring is better than an ordinary gold mine. He speaks of one rancher who is making $100 a day from his road house and water.
Mr. Cheatham was fortunate in finding some old acquaintances and in company with these they took a pair of mules with a wagon and loading it with provisions, mostly water, they went on a prospecting trip for three weeks – as long as the water would last. The climate is hot and dusty and the dry, hot wind fills the air with alkali dust till it is almost unbearable. Mr. Cheatham says Thunder Mountain with its pure air, bright skies and crystal water is good enough for him.

Fishers Make a Big Catch
Lashed to the stern of a small fishing craft, the largest fish ever taken in Puget Sound came to this port, says the Seattle Post Intelligencer. It measured a trifle more than nine feet in length, and weighed probably 600 pounds. There was a dispute regarding its species when the black monster was towed in by Nick Dupont and a crew of Greek fishermen. Some were of the opinion that he was of the shark variety, and a majority, including men who claim to have seen the same kind in foreign waters, were of the opinion that it was a blackfish.
Dupont operates a small salmon fishing crew on the sound. The nets were set off West Seattle, and about 2:30 o’clock in the morning the crew went out in charge of Dupont, to make the haul. No sooner had they taken hold of the seine than there was a terrific struggle beneath the waters, and it was evident that more than salmon had been caught. The men pulled the net to the surface, when the captive was brought to view.
For a moment the tremendous tail lashed the water into a foam. The net was torn from one end to the other, and whatever the catch of salmon had been, it was released.
While the fish was struggling a rope was secured and made fast about its tail. It was then the work of a few minutes to take the oars and pull for the shore.
On the way over the fish seemed to be fagged out, and did not make much resistance until near the wharf, when he began to fight, and for a moment it looked as though the little fishing craft and its occupants would be sent to the bottom. However, the men managed to keep the fish away, and finally he was landed near a jetty, where he remained over night.
Rough measurements showed him to be a little more than nine feet long. His body is black in color. In form he resembles very much the sturgeon. His back is straight, and his tail bevels up fully a foot over the top of his back. In his thickest part he measures probably 18 inches through, and tapers from head to tail. His eyes are very large, and protrude, giving him the appearance of great ferocity.
After he was tied to the stern of the fishing smack he appeared to be at ease, and took a long rest. An hour later he tugged at the two feet of rope which was given him to play, but again realized his captivity, and settled down for the night.
Within the recollection of the oldest fishermen in Seattle there never was so large a fish taken in Puget Sound before. He is evidently at home in the ocean, and adventure led to his fate.

Any section of the state desiring a wagon road built under the authority of the act of the last legislature establishing a state wagon road commission must pay dollar for dollar with the state. That is the decision arrived at by the commission, which is now in session in this city. The commission has but $50,000 at its disposal. Several times that amount is asked in bills presented during the legislative session and which went over by unanimous consent to be considered by the commission. In order that any appreciable benefits should accrue to different parts of the state it was found necessary to adopt the dollar for dollar rule, which was done by resolution.
