The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1907-02-09

One cannot realize the phenomenal
richness of the new camp of Wonder
until he has visited the district, OF
talked with someone who thoroughly
knows the various properties. High
grade shipping ore is being uncovered
in every section OF the district, and
properties already in ore have values
almost surprising belief.
The Nevada Wonder, the original
strike of the camp, was sold last May
for $500, 900. Today 1t has a valuation
of $4,000. 900. A tunnel was driven
into the side of the hill and has today
passed through 81 feet of ore and not
yet reached the hanging wall. The
exact value of the ore is not o~btainable,
but it is stated with this amount OF
work. $550.000 has been blocked out,
Values far into the thousands of dollars
per ton have been obtained, while the
entire width of the vein so far uncov
cred is a good marketable grade. A
winze is being sunk on the vein at a
distance of rs feet in the tunnel. and
at present is down 100 feet, and they
are now prosecuting to the big vein
The ore taken from the tunne is being
sacked without sorting. 5000 more
sacks were just ordered from Reno.
A 100000 mill has been ordered for
h Nevada Wonder property, and will
be installed as rapidly as possible. Two
hoists will be added to the equipment
and development pushed ahead in a
systematic name From II to IS men
are continually at work on two shifts.

promises to equal or eve excel the
original strike. On this property a
ledge 100 feet in width has been uncov-
cred, carrying values throughout, while
quite a few feet alongside either wall
runs very high. Values over 81, 900 are
common. A remarkable popularity ex-
lists on this big vein. On one wall the
silver values predominant by a ratio of
10 or IL to 1. and on the other wall
the gold predominates about 4 or 5 to
one. The ore of the Spider and Wasp
is identical to that of the Nevada Won
der. and from the trend and values. is
undoubtedly ali extension of the same
large vein.
The Jack Pot is sinking their shaft
on a large vein. and to date they have
sacked. preparatory to shipment, every
thing taken from the shaft. 500 sacks
of high grade shipping ore are piled or
the surface around the shaft that will
run from $500 to $1,000 per ton.
On the property of the yulture Mining
company. adjoining the Jack Pot, they
are sacking high grade ore in FIVE places
on the surface, that will run from 500
to $500 per ton. This company is driv-
ing a tunnel to tap the large ore bodies.
At this writing the tunnel is in 500 feet.
and according to surveys liz feet fur
Their will tap the ore at a depth of ESQ
where excellent values will nc doubt
be encountered.
A little further east is the Stray
Horse group. where rich ore is being
sacked from surface workings. A tunnel
is being driven on this property to tap
the ore bodies at depth. The Castle
Rock and Alice groups east of the
Stray Horse are both in high grade ore.
On the Alice group. q crosscut tunnel
is being driven. and high grade ore was
struck at a distance of IS feet in. at a
depth of so feet below the surface.
West of the Nevada Wonder is the
scene of many strikes. On the June
Wonder. high grade ore was encountered
