big new milling plant at Garfield. west
of this city. His inspection at these points
concluded. he will go down to Newhouse
and size up conditions at the Cactus.

much to interest him and also find that
wonderful progress has been made in both
the Boston Consolidated and Newhouse
mines since last he was out there.
He will find that the Boston COnsOli-
dated is in shape to make the record of its
existence this year in the matter of pro-
ductiOn of shipping ore and that the
great mountain of cOpper-beaTing por

manded when the mill at Garfield IS
placed in commission.
At the Cactus bonanza of the Newhouse
Mines company, Mr.. Shirmer will learn
that, while apparently wild and woolly'

OPHIR MINE TO RESUME
OPERATIONS MAY FIRST

G L. Peak. the Well-known mining man
and claim owner of the Stateline district,
was i'm the city yesterday loking after
business on this end of the line. He re-
ports that orders have Just been received
from the New Haven owners of the Ophir
property, mines and mill, in that camp,
to get everything in readiness for the
campaign that is to be inaugurated on the
first day of May. The man in charge OF
the property is now employing a small
force in '-spring cleaning about the
works and between now and the end of
the month whoever is to be placed in
charge of the properties will be out to
marshal his crew of twenty or more men
which will start the ball rolling.
The lively manner in which things are
being done in the Gold Springs district,
in the same vicinity. is having a stimu-
lating effect on the Stateline district. and
Mr. Peak believes that it will get off on
the right foot this time and forge right
to the front.
L am STAYING with Stateline" said Mr..
Peak, because I know it is one of the
richest gold and silver regions in this
country and because. when the time
comes. il is going to Outshine three
fourths of the gold camps of Nevada 1t

the San Pedro railroad. and the history
of the Johnnie. the Ophir, the HomeStake

ositions down there, is such that no one
doubts the value OF the mines themselves
A dozen or more other fine propositions
are coming to the front right now, and l
predict that the stream of gold and sill
yer bullion, to say nothing of the high
grade shipping ore that comes from Gold
Springs, Stateline and the other districts
nestled closely together there. will be

GOOD REPORT FROM THE SEVEN
TRoUGHs WONDER.

Mr.. W. F. Gray of Goidield has just
arrived from the famous Seven
Troughs district which is attracting so
much attention of prominent mining
men.
During Mr.. Gray's stay in Seven
Troughs he visited all of the most
promising properties The Seven
Troughs Wonder, Mr.. Gray considers
one of the greatest properties ever
discovered in this district. and says
that within a short time this property
will be a wonderful producer.
A shaft has been put down to a
depth of ninety feet and from the six
ty-five-foot level a drift is being run
on the vein for a distance of fOrty-five
feet with high-grade ore showing all
the way.
The amount of treasury stock allot-
ted to r. X. Cobb & Co, this city, is
being rapidly taken at 25c per share,
and Indications are that their allotment
will be Over-subscribed.

IN NEVADA WONDER

over in Wonder. sixteen miles from
Fairview. New. and said to be a part
of the same mineral belt. vein eighty
feet wide Is reported as having been
opened up in the Nevada Wonder Mining
company's ground, which is controlled by
the Fourth National Bank crowd of
Philadelphia and the owners of the Tono-
pah q Geldfield Railway. This mine, al
though under development less than six
months, has been freely compared to the
Homestake in the Black Hills, which for
years has been the important source OF
income of the Hearst estate.
There are other producing mines in the
Wonder district that were only pros
reefs few weeks ago. and among these
are freely mentioned the Jack Pot, the
Rich Guleh, the Spider and Wasp. the
Badger, the Sunrise. the Christmas Won
der, the Queen and others. Wonder is
opening up even faster than Fairvisw
has. and although il has not a traction
of the ore in sight which Fairview al
ready boasts of, the mineral area is be-
lieved to be consider ably larger tnan that
Of Fairview, and the number of prospects
that give earmarks of making great
mines in the Wonder district is said to
exceed that of Fairview.
