GoLDFIELD MEN ARE
LUCKY IN REESE RIVER

The Ophir mine situated on the Reese
river 100 miles northwest of Goldfield
produced in the old days of Nevada's
greatness as a mining state gold and
silver to the value of $5.000,000. The
indications are that other mines equally
as rich will be found in the camp. Gold
field prospectors have been bringing in
for weeks past ore that al the test
OF fire and values in gold and silver and
copper would indicate that more than
one good shipper will be developed in
the new section about 3 miles from the
old Ophir. The first discovery was
made by George O'Nein who located a
group of 5 claims and brought some of
the ore here 3 weeks ago. The assays
on the rock went as high as $500 and he
claims the quartz was broken from out
cropping lodges. Fuetch and Casper,
also Of Goldfeld outfitted a party of
prospectors some six weeks ago and
they located a group of IL claims close
to the O'Neill locations and assays on
the rock they have brought in run all
the way from $3.50 to as high as 1886
in gold, silver and copper. Their friends

Mr.. Ernest A. Dunlap left Goldheld
last week with a full supply of tools,
ETC., for the purpose of starting at once
on the double-compartment shaft of the
Observation-Disclosures Copper
of Greenwater. Mr.. Dunlap will have
charge of the company's active develop
ment work, which is being managed by
the firm of Geo. F. Won Polenz & Co.
The sale of stock has proven a great
success, the first allotment being over
subscribed to a considerable amount. A
25-h-p. gasoline hoist has been ordered
and will be shipped to Greenwater as
fast as money and energy can get II
there. A recent examination of the
property showed copper values as high
as 22h per cent upon the main ledge.
and il is on this main ledge that the
new shaft will go down.

1t is remarkable that in spite of it's
wonderful showings of mineral re-
sources, it's many advantages ard IN
bounded possibilities of wealth pro-
duction the new camp of Wonder is
so little known, says the Reno State
Journal.
The fact that Wonder has not been
properly placed before the public, in
view of it's worth. is evidenced by so
many queries which are being put to
the ~prospector who returns from that
camp to the various centers of popula-
ton in the West.
To the end, then, that Wonder 10
better introduced to h mining world
the following is appended.
NEvADA-woNDEE
Situated on the north of the tow"
of Wonder, and half a mile distant
therefrom is the now famous Nevada
Wonder mine. This property has
changed hands recently and is now
owned and operated by a syndicate of
Philadelphia capitalists and Tonopah
investors. The sum paid was a large
one. Development work is now being
pushed as rapidly as conditions permit.
Owing to a temporary difficulty in
securing teams, supplies are slow in
arriving at the mine. This hampers
present activities OF the Nevada-Won-
der on. but the difficulty is
only transient and arrangements are
now being made to secure adequate
transportation facilities. When this is
achieved, and it will be soon, the world
will be surprised at the output of wealth
which will stream from the property.
The ore being taken from the Nevada
Wonder is mainly sulphide in character;
of high-grade and shows large quanti-
ties of free gold. 1t is found on a con
tact of porphyry and rhyolite. The
vein proper varies in width from ten
to forty feet. 1t has a northwesterly
and southeasterly strike with a dip to
the southwest.
This is not only true of the Nevada
Wonder property but it is also the case
with all OF the veins in the Wonder
district. Indications point positively
and plainly to the certainty that the
mine will Justify its name. 1t will be
a wonder in title and in fact.
One mile north of the Nevada-Wonder
are found the Stray Horses, the Neya-
das, the Castle Rock and the June
groups of mines. The district occupied
by these properties shows remarkable

possibilities and gives great promise.
With but few exceptions good values
have been found on all the claims on
this ground. Although 1t is a Fact that
little work has been done on these last
named properties some splendid assays
have been taken from the surface where
outcroppings show the veins to be
strong. These claims form the extreme
n~ortheasterly portion of the district.
Following on the course of these veins
Pot, Grand View and Richmond groups
are found.
THE JACK POT
On the Jack Pot active work is going
on. Five or six hundred sacks of ere
are now on the dumps awaiting ship
ment. The ore sacked will average from
two to six hundred dollars TO the tol.
Some beautiful specimens of horn and
native silver have been taken from this
claim.
GRAND VIEW LODE
Immediately adjoining the Jack Pot
is the Grand View Lode with proven
values and splesdid prospects. Two
miles farther west are the Spider and
wasp groups, WneTe active develop
ment work is also in progress.
Less than a mile southeast from the
Spider and Wasp groupes lie the Billy
the Kid mines. A large quantity of ore
is now on the dumps, but owing to a
deal now pending work has been tenn
porarity suspended. The property is so
valuable and promising in appearance
that several offers have been made to
the wners which offers are now being
considered.
There are many more claims and
mines deserving of special mention in
this Wonder country, but space at pres
ent prevents their discussion.
The peculiar nature of the Gaping
of the district prospecting has been
somewhat retarded. But such difficult
ties as face the developer of mines are
slight in contrast to the benefits to be
gained and will soon be overcome by the
men n money which will come to this
section of Nevada within the next few
months. Wonder will then take her
rightful place as one of the greatest
camps in the West, and her showing
of surface values, which surprises all
Corners. will V been proved to be an
index to the enormous wealth lying
hidden beneath.

The Angels, who had dozed along for
seven innings without scoring, came up
strongly in the eighth and showed three
men over the plate on as many hits. The
Loo-loo contingent in the bleachers
thought their team with the lead of
one tally had the game and shouted
themselves hoarse.
In the last half of the ninth the Oaks

FIRST MASON BEATS
A CLEVER FIELD.
Thistle Stakes Only
a Little Gallop
for Him.
Ornonde's Right
Puts Shaw Out Of
Commission.

NEW YORK, June 29.-First Mason
was so much faster than his opponents
in the Thistle stakes at Sheepshead
Bay track today that he beat them in
gallop with Jack Martin sitting up
right in the saddle. Behind him were
such fast horses as Garnish and Or
monde's Right. They finished second
and third respectively. 1t was q SELL
ing stake, and c.. E. Rowe entered First
Mason to be sold for $2700. a price far
below his real value. Rowe had this
great handicap horse in grand condi-
tion, something like his old shape of
two years ago, when he was one Of the
best horses in the East. He backed
him to win small fortune. He got
13 to against him in the early bet
ting, but accepted to 1 later. The
cut in the odds did not deter him from
backing the horse. and he never
stopped betting until his wagers in the
aggregate amounted to $4,000.
1t was fortunate for Rowe that he
backed the horse heavily, for he was
bid up to $4,000 after he had won. Bob
by McKeever, a betting agent for Paul
and Roy Rainey, the young Cleveland
millionaires, bid him up. The Raineys
did this because Rowe has bid up their
horses. First Mason was retained by
Rowe by an additional bid of $5.
A f1utter of excitement was caused

walked around the paddock without a
hood. He had never raced without
blinkers, but as he has failed to race
up to hIs previous performances Alex
Shields, his owner. asked permission
to start him without them. The horse
behaved well until Shaw, his rider,
attempted to mount. Then he broke
loose from his attendants and by twist
ing and turning threw Shaw out of the
saddle. Shaw was badly bruised and
stunned by the fall and had to be as
sisted to the Jockeys room. Perrine
was substituted for the injured boy.
and the blinkers were placed on the
horse.
The race was merely a strong gallop
for First Mason.
Only an ordinary programme was of
fered for decision. 1t was hot at the
course this afternoon. The betting ring
was like an oven, and the bookies had
an uncomfortable time of IL. The track
was in excellent condition and fast.

runs over in the final chapter and
blanking Seattle in it's half. Both Hit

costly. O'Brlen started in the box for

features of the game. and, although he
made one error, his fielding was high

SPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE CALI.

PORTLAND, June 2s.-What officers
of the vessel believe TO have been an
attempt to scuttle the steam schooner
Northland during the night was dis
covered early this morning. When the
men in the engine-room got up at 2
o'clock to warm the fires they were
surprised to find four feet of water in
the hold. 1t reached over the elevated
floor plates and appeared to be gain
ing rapidly. Realizing that the vessel
was sinking First Engineer John Ehle
notified Captain JamiesSn and the
steam pumps were set to work at once.
The pumps gained on the water. but
not enough to make her seaworthy and
the longshoremen who We're to com

to go home. While no one connected
with the vessel is openly accusing any
one of having bored holes in the huII

Today and Tomorrow on the Courts.

Today and Tomorrow on the Courts.
The State championship tennis tour
naments will be completed today and
tomorrow on the California Club
courts at Scott and Bush streets. The
Semi-fna match of the women's event.
which was postponed from last Satur-
day. will be played today. Owing to
the fact that Miss Ethel Rateliffe, the
champion, viii not defend on the after
noon Of the Fourth Of July, the final
match viii be played at that time in
lieu Of the challenge match.
In tOday's match the contestants
viii be Miss Bessie Valleau of Ala
media and Miss Coda Myer of the Cold
en- Gate Club. The latter has had more
practice Of late than Miss Valleau and
is expected TO carry of the honors.
Miss Nalleau is a clever player. how
ever. and. despite lack Of practice, is
conceded a chance TO beat the local eX-
pert Miss Myer at present is unques-
tionably the eleverest player in the
city. and, II she beats Miss Valleau, is
expected 10 make il interesting for
Mss Eotchkiss in the finals.
Miss Eotchkiss, the brilliant little
player from Berkeley. won both her
matches last Saturday quite easily. She
held the title in 1904 and has a royal
chance TO come into possession of it
again this year. Miss Myer has many
admirers at the park, most Of whom
are confident she can lower the colors
Of the eX-champion. Miss Myer and
Miss Falleau viii play their match this
morning.
The third round and semi final
matches OF the mems event viii fur
nish some great sport this afternoon
and tomorrow. The first match played
viii be that between Percy Murdock,
the Alameda crack, and Coast Cham
pion George James.
The other third round match will
bring together Herbert Long and Clar-
ence Griffin. Despite the fact that the
latter beat ex-champion Drummond
MacGavin, Long is expected TO win
from him. Griffin plays remarkably
we'll against certain players, but Long
IS not one Of them. Ever since Long
got into the first class he has had no
trouble disposing of the latter. Griffin
is not as clever as he used 70 be, while
Long has undoubtedly improved. While
the. latter is a poor tournament player,
he feels confident Of beating Griffin,
and for that reason viii play about as
well as he does in practice.
In the upper half of the semi finals.
which will be played tomorrow morn
in. Melville Long will meet the winner
Of the Murdock-Janes mach. Long, like
his brother, is not a particularly good
tournament player. but would unques-
tionably have an excellent chance to
win from either Murdoek or James. He
is a steady player and when he gets
started right he is hard to beat
In the lower half Harold Gabriel will
be opposed TO either Herbert Long or
Grim in the semi-finals. Gabriel is
probably the cleverest youngster for
hts age in the city In the San Fran
cisco championship tournament he al
most beat Charles Foley. Gabriel has
played some remarkable tennis in prac-
tice. but aside from the match just
mentioned has done little in tourna-
mente.

ernoon are Percy Murdoch against
