specimens of remarkably rich gold ore.
The rock is literally fecked with free

Nj there is two-inch vein of it near this

John Sparks, owner of the Wedekind
mine near Reno, says of the recent
rich strike in the property: '1n JUS
tice to George Wedekind, | desire to
state publicly that no new strike has
been made in my property. The bo-
nanza rock now being taken out Is not
from a new apex, but from an extension
of the original find. The only differ
ence is that while in the original
workings the seams of bonanza rock
were numerous and small, here they
are found in compact lead, some
what higher in value and of consid-
erably greater thickness. The new
strike simply prove sthat there is a
continuous ore body and no mere pipe
or outlet Mr.. Wedekind is still en-
titled to all the credit of the finds
made in Reno Star ground"
Work is progressing fayorably on

way. The Brougher shaft is down
nearly $50 feet and the ledge is about
twelve feet wide in the bottom. The
drifts ON the 250-foot level from this
shaft and the Cutting shaft are be-
Egnning to show up fine ore. The re-
turns from the ore shipped to Everett
have been highly satisfactory to the
shippers, as on the whole they aver
aged higher than the leasers' samples

the manager of the Pacific Coast Ore
Sampling Works, has recently made a
visit to this camp with view of pur-
chasing all the ore on the dumps from
