He Prospector And Thunder Mountain News April 8, 1905

T J. Lynch returned Thursday from the Middle Fork of the Salmon river where he has
been for nearly a month. He was delighted with his trip and speaks in glowing terms
of the springs and says that in all his experience in the mountains he never saw two
prospectors situated so comfortably as are Voller and McNerney.

They have a fine ranch of about forty acres cleared on which they raise all their
vegetables and hay for stock; they have a fine range and are well supplied with
fresh eggs, milk and butter. The hot springs are situated near their cabin which is
but a short distance from the ore lode they are developing. They are not pushing the
work on their mining property very fast - perhaps because they are so pleasantly
situated. They have had some good assays. They are now building a two-story house
14x24 feet in the clear.

Mr. Lynch says Mr. Cunningham is very feeble and was unfortunate in loosing [sic]
nearly all of his potatoes last winter by frost. J. Herron is assisting him on the
ranch.

Jack Murray has taken up a ranch five miles below Mahoney's. Mr. Mahoney has leased
his ranch to his two sons and he himself this summer is going to build "that
ditch."

Mr. Lynch says that deer are very plentiful on the Middle Fork and that the fish are
just beginning to come up the stream.
