FROM THUNDER MT.
Mining News of That Section
—Cyanide to Be Installed.
L. A. Way laud and aon and J.
I'. Cassell arrived here from Thun
der Mountain last Monday, and
will remain till after the democra
tic county convention at Cotton
wood next Saturday. They report
the mining outlook for that coun
try good. Mr. Wayland and others
receutly sold some very valuable
property to Boston capitalists, who
were represented by Victor Weil,
of Boston. We understand it was
a cash deal of 8120,000. This prop
erty is well located and consider
able development work has been
ddne. This work consists of 13
tunnels, shafts and open cuts, vary
ing in length from 10 to 130 feet.
Mr. Wayland has bonded two
groups of properties to Lovejoy &
Russell company for 873,000 for
three months, and 11 other claims
to Boston capitalists for 880,000
for three years. Capt. Treweeke,
general superintendent of the Sun
nyside property, is making arrange
ments to install a cyanide plant on
that property this fall. The plant
is to be 100-ton capacity. On the
property there is a body of live
acres of free milling surface ore,
which goes 86 to 88 per ton. Capt.
Treweeke thinks he can profitably
handle 82 rock when the new plant
is installed.
While speaking of the mines of
that section, Mr. Wayland said:
"There was a good strike just
before I left. This was made un
der Lightning Peak, south of Sun
nyside property about 1000 - feet,
by M. C. Spencer, who was former
ly of White Bird. He got full face
of ore that panned over 815."
After the convention, Mr. Cas
sell will go to Spokane, and Mr.
Wayland and son will return home.
They have a pack train of 30
mules and will take in quite a sup
ply of winter goods.
Mr. Cassell also has some very
valuable property in that section,
located on Ramey Ridge. He has
seven men at work developing it.
They will soon have a 300-foot
tunnel completed.
TWO NEW STRIKES.
J. D. Wooden and C. P. Wright
Tell of Find at Lucie.
C. P. Wright, J. D. Wooden
and H. S. Divine come out from
Lucile last Monday. They report
everything in fine condition in that
district. They tell of two strikes
made recently in the Lucile coun
try. One was made last Saturday
on the McKinley property. A five
foot ledge was struck at a depth of
160 feet. All of the ore is estimat
ed to go over 8500 per ton, and
some strikes in it will go as high
as several thousand dollars per ton.
Lockwood Bros, made a rich
strike recently on Willie Gulch in
the Warren section. Mr. Wooden
had some of the ore from this mine
and it showed free gold in big
quantities. It is estimated at 8500
per ton.
Mr. Wright, accompanied by
Messrs. Humphrey and Woodard,
of Portland, will return in a day
or two to Lucile.
H. 8. Divine is here looking
after the property of his brother,
Robert, who died recently in the
Lucile country.
ANOTHER CONTRACT.
Big Grader in Operation—More
Men and Teams.
Railroad work is being pushed
right along on this end of the N.
P. extension. Jack Edmond has
established a camp about six miles
out from town and wii begin grade
ing at once. He has about twenty
five men and quite a number of
teams. His contract covers three
mileB of the road bed immediately
beyond Mr. Ennerson's part. Mr.
Ennersou's contract has been ex
tended to cover the first five miles
out from town. He now has about
twenty-five teams and forty or
fifty men at work. Operation was
begun with the big sixteen-horse
elevating grader in the Mrs. JRoby
field just a half mile out of town
yesterday. The machine is a mon
ster and works perfectly, plowing
and carrying the dirt into place at
the same time. With this machine

Up till the time of convention,
there were from three to five as

a lively fight was predicted. Even
after the delegates arrived in Cot
tonwood there seemed little chance
of a compromise and it was notun
til noon, Saturday, that the matter
of places was settled. When they
met, however, there was no sign of
disappointment on the surface and
in no instance were two ballots nec
essary for a choice and in many
cases the candidate was nominat
ed by acclamation. The convention
was called to order by Judge De
Haven and A. A. Alvord was
