COMING
HIS WAY
JOHN SPARKS MAKES A FIND
IN HIS PROPERTY
Wedekidd Ledge Dips Back
Into ORIGINAL Ground

An important discovery has been
made with regard to the ledge of the
Wedekind mine. The ledge has been
followed from the Wedekind into Des
ert King ground, and it was supposed
that from a certain depth the ledge
was entirely within the confines OF
the Desert King. The latest develop
ments 60 to show that the pitch of the
ledge changed at a still greater
depth, and from there down the ledge
is again in Wedekind ground.
The explanation OF this is very sim
pie The ledge from the surface, and
probably for couple of hundred feet
down, is located in ground, where at
some previous time a slip occurred,
DETECTING the upper course of the
ledge. The Wedekind mine is higher
up than the Desert King, and the de-
Election was great enough to bring
part of the ledge within the bounds
of the Desert King.
The Desert King was formerly owned
by Charles Bell. and this ownership
was the source of the famous battle
with John Sparks, which was settled
by compromise months ago. AS Mr.
Sparks is sole owner of the Wedekint
and only a partial owner of the Des
ert King. the recent discovery canno
fail OF being to his benefit.

OF FOLLY
ABANDONED MINING PROP.
.ERTY FROM THE SOUTH
Old !. X. L. Mining Machinery
Is SOlu

Yesterday the big team of Peter
sen & Springmeyer brought to this
city what is left of a monument of
folly that was erected by an English
company in the country south of here.
The wagon contained two big boil
ers that originally belonged to the
/. K. l. mill at Bullionvflle, near
Markleevilee. Another set OF wag-
ons will bring in the balance of the
trappings. This mill is being dismantel-
ed after twenty-five years of idleness.
The fact is the boilers never had a
fire under them and never stamp
dropped in the battery.
The property was originally pur-
chased by an English company and
like many investments that were
made in the bonanza times, the mill
was built before pound of ore was
extracted, When the mill was in run
mig order, the mine promoter began
| looking around for mine and not
sign of one could be found. The En-
glishmen at home refused to put up
and the whole affair went to the wall.
The elegant mill never turned a
osity to the traveller and tourist for
the past quarter of century.
After time the official undertaken
of English mines and mills, A. J. Nc
Cone, of Virginia, settled his eagle
eye on the property and secured the
entire outfit for song, and some o
