Thunder Mountain mining activity grows with many workers
Thunder Mountain shows rapid development as about 150 miners are employed in the Thunder Mountain country. Worden Hoff mine leads in manpower while ore is mostly low grade but abundant. A miner reportedly produced ten tons of ore, slaked for ten days, then sluiced for nearly $30 in cleanups. Wagon road work moves slowly with wages around $2.75 daily and high supplies. The camp holds a bright future.
