MAKES HIG
SHOWING FROM SURFACE

Enough high grade ore is now being
removed from an open cut on the ground
of the vulture Mining company at Won
der to defray current expenses of devel-
opment. The rock goes better thar $500
A tunnel started along the ledge last
week has been put in some 35 feet
already. 1t will be driven a distance of
500 feet, attaining thereby a depth of
400 feet.
The company, on its estate of s.
acres. has now opened up ore in five
different places. Pay rock has just been
discovered on the Bird Fraction, which
was merged in the Vulture company
upon it's formation. The main ledge
ON the estate traverses the Fraction.
Great difficulty is being experienced in
Wonder. as in other camps, in securing
an adequate number of miners.
The management OF the Vulture com
pany states that it could give employ
ment to at least twenty more men. but
is unable to get them.

ALICE AT WONDER

Wonder is making its name good,

The Alice is showing four feet of
better than s100 ore. The stock, which
was put out by Patrick, Elliott & Camp
at rs cents. has advanced to 40 cents
and no more will be sold at that price.
Wonder North Star, another promotion
by this firm. has made a similar adj
vance, but II is due to location rather
than ore development, the claim being
contiguous to the Nevada Wonder and
near the Hidden Treasure.
