THUNDER MOUNTAIN.
Is Compared With the Times of '49.
Says Mr. Simmons.
SPOKANE. March 29.—E. B. Simmons, who represents Eastern investors in the Thunder Mountain country, returned yesterday from the new mining camp. He said:
"Thunder Mountain has had enough development work done to show that it is one of the richest gold bearing territories ever yet discovered. The country is literally filled with auriferous rock of easily milling nature. Colors are to be found wherever one cares to wash out a panful of dirt. I would not be surprised if we experience just such a rush as there was in '49."
