Wonder, Nov. 20.-A strike made on
the range southeast of the camp, end
lining the Battleship claims on the
south and the Sunshine on the north,

rich was the ore that free gold could be

The Battleship struck a pocket Of
ore recently that assayed $2,241 and
several stringers nav been cut on this
property that ran high but as no large
veins nave been cut. it cannot at his
time be said that the Battleship will

The Sunshine is another property that
is being watched with interest on ac-

that it bears no unsavory name on ac-
count of Wildcats Wonder has de-

with the rapid strides being made on

hat can be truly called mines. While
we are far remote from a railroad. still
we have the ore that will pay to freight
and the railroad situation will be
changed within the next year"
Many local mining men are not dis
posed to await the coming of the rail-
road but are now actively talking mill"
BY reason of the excessive freight
rate ore that runs less than $50 cannot
be shipped, and very little OF that grade
have gone out of the camp. That speaks
volumes for the richness of Wonder
rock.
BY establishing a local reduction works
at least 81 per ton can be saved and
the operators will be independent of the
shelters.
Heretofore the question remained in
allegiance on account of the lack Of
water. but now that the mains are In
and Busch, creek water is coming in with
good pressure and in sufficient quantity
to not only supply the camp but a mill
as well. there is strong talk along this
line.
BY practical tests II has been proven
that G~runewalt's chlorination process
will practically catch all the values In
the Wonder ores. but 1t is not certain
that this process can be secured for the
fact that the Nevada Wonder holds the
rights for the Wonder district. That
company w.H build it's own reduction
works end it is said that the Jack Pot
n Vulture will also build a mill at
Hercules.
In the event that Busch creek canno
furnish sufficient water for milling pur-
poses there is an available supply in two
canyons. on the other side of the Dixie
fiat. which will give an additional sup
ply of 1000 gallons per minute.
Wonder has passed the experimental
stage and is now down to brass tacks

inent mining men do not hesitate to say
that this will be one of the greatest
mining districts Of the world.
