PRICES SOARING
At WONDER CAMP
BOOM TOWN IN NORTHERN
NEVADA
Riding Money Away at Ten Cents a
Minute-Wages Range from $5
to $40 Day--ReaI
Estate

Special to The Herald.
GOLDFIELD, New, June 2.-Wonder
has the making of a great camp, and
the best mining engineers who have
studied it's geological formations say, IL
surface indications stand for anything,
the camp should prove the peer of all
recent acquisitions to the mining world.
The Nevada Wonder at the present
time is the "big" mine of the camp,
being held at a valuation of $4,000000.
The Vulture, Jack Pot and Spider and
Wasp properties are proving them
selves mines of the first water, and a
score of prospectors are diligently at
work sinking on lodges that traverse
the vast mineralized desert in a general
northwest and southeast direction. Big
capitalists and millionaire mine owners
are at the helm, and no money will be
spared in uncovering what promise to
be some of the richest lodges ever un-
earthed in the Sagebrush state.
Herman E. Ackerman recently came
in from Wonder to Fallon, via Fair
view. There are stages and automo-
bile service. For four hours automo-
bile riding" said Mr.. Ackerman. "the
rate is $25, which is equivalent 10
per hour, or over 10 cents per minute.
1t makes one feel as though he were
riding his money away
"Wonder has a population of 1900
at the present time, and new people
are coming in rapidly. Commodities of
every kind are very high. For instance.
eggs are 60 cents per dozen, butter go
cents pound flour SO a sack, lumber
S120 a thousand and everything else
in proportion. Meals cost from so cents
up, and cot (four in a room) $1.25 per
night, bed Individual rom), 81 and
up per night.
"Miners get $5 per day and up; wait
| ers in restaurants receive IS and board
per diem, while cooks receive $40. Car
penters command 81 an hour. There is
much activity in building operations
at present. Many buildings are being
retarded on account of scarcity of ma
| terials. This dilemma, however. is now
being overcome and soon the camp Will
witness a marvellous building activity
On my way out counted slxty-seven
! ingoing teams between Wonder and
Fallon. each being drawn by from two
to fourteen animals. The greater part
| of this traffic was desined for Wonder
1.-THE balance for Fairview. Among
these were huge fourteen-horse teams
loaded with building material and tim
ber for the mines; others were laden
with hoists, and some with provisions
for the camp. Among the two-horse
rigs were the fortune hunters. and
those willing to take a chance in the
| legitimate.
Real estate has greatly enhanced in
value during the year. cit is year
this month since the first discovery
was made) Corner lots offered by the
| townsite company a year ago at 5000
now command twenty-five times that
| amount and one cannot at this time
procure a fairly well located lot on
Main street for less than $500. We
have two banks at the present time.
one of which will shortly erect two

"SCOTTY" SHOWS UP
AT GOLDFIELD CAMP

Walter Scott of Death valley fame
stirred UP the natives at Goldfield re-
Gently on his way from his mine to
New York city. Everybody-men,
women and children-turned out in a
body to see "Scotty." The Review
states that "Scotty" made "a bee line
for the places which bound the busy
corner of Main and Crook avenue, and
from Z o'clock in the evening till the
wee sma' hours he literally made
Rome howl. His first stop was at the
Northern, where he, broke a $100 bii!
and asked the bartender that his
change might be in silver. Receiving
this, he scattered it to the winds, and
the scramble to secure one of these
coins was a sight for the gods. From
place to place he journeyed and at
each 4 repetition of his former ac-
tions occurred. Finally he wound up
at the Palace, followed by hundreds
of people, the crowd being so dense
that the streets for two or three blocks
in every direction were impossible. At
the latter place he made a speech to
the assemblage, and anyone who thinks
"Scotty' is uneducated and uncouth is
sadly mistaken. His looks certainly
belied his actions, for all that he said
was decidedly to the point. He de-
clared that many people had said he
was not the owner of a mine, but he
declared most emphatically that he
was, and that it was his own business
where it was located, but he declared
further that he was now considering
an offer which had been made him by
New York capitalists and that If all
went we'll the world would soon know
the source of his untold wealth.

QUARTZ IS SHOT
FULL OF GOLD
Lucky Strike Five Miles South of the
Johnnie Consolidated Property.
Claims Sold for $4,000
Cash

JOHNNIE, New, June 2.-About six
weeks ago prospector named Charles
Garrett came into Johnnie and after
getting a square meal and good
nights rest started out in the hills to
see what he could find. In two days
time he had uncovered as rich vein
of ore as has ever been discovered In
southern Nevada. The quartz Is shot
full of coarse gold and in places there
are nuggets of almost solid gold a:
large as marbles. This rich find wa:
encountered within two feet of the
wide and a shaft Is now down ten feet
still in the rich ore, but the vein has
widened to two feet.
This discovery was made about five
miles south of the celebrated Johnnie
Consolidated mine, one and one-half
miles southeast of town and one-half
mile southeast of the Congress mine,
owned by a crowd of Tonopah mining
men, headed by Harry Ramsey, Jim
Butler and Frank Ish. 1t is in a part
of the camp that has been but little
prospected and demonstrates how much
valuable ground there Is open in the
camp.
Later Mr.. Garrett sold his strike,
consisting of four claims, for $4,000
cash and a large number of shares of
stock in a company to be organized
on the property. The purchasers are
S. H. Barbee, formerly Of Seattle, but
who now has large interests in Bull
frog and Lee districts, and Messrs.
Woods and Stone, wealthy mining men
of Salt Lake City. A strong company
will be organized at once and extensive
development work will be done on the
property and later a mill will be erected.
A number of claims have been taken
up adjoining the strike by Robert At
kinson, j. l.. Coryell, Fred Bowler and
Jack Fairchild, all of Johnnie, who will
thoroughly prospect their ground, and
no doubt other rich finds will be re-
ported in the near future.

WORDS OF WISDOM
IN STOCK BUYING
Desert Editor Undertakes to Tell How
and When to Select Mining
Shares-Sure Thing
Chaps

Many people are at loss to know at
what stage Of the development of a
mine it is best to buy it's stock.
There is no best time, says the Won
der( Nev.) Miner.
In the beginning, mine is little more
than a prospect and it's stock is sold
very low on account of the risk OF
success that attends all new projects
and it is hard to sell the shares.
1t Is to offset the risk and unsal
ability Of such a stock that it is Of
fered at a very low price, and the pur'
chaser takes the risk and gets the
benefit.
If the mine afterward proves sue
cess the purchaser bought the stock
at the best time, and makes the most
money possible from his investment.
If a person prefers to see a more
advanced state of development before
investing, he pays a higher price on
surer thing, and represents a large
class of investors.
Next comes the man who wants a
dividend payer to put his money into.
He usually has to pay nearly, If not
quite the par value of the stock of
that sort of mine.
Then comes finally the fellow who
wants the surest kind of a safe in
vestment. He is seldom satisfied with
less than bonds. But he only gets to
per cent on his money, and If he is
only a small inv estor, while his invest
ment may be safe enough, he will never
make much money on that plan.
But to make money, the younger the
proposition is the better it is for real
money making, provided 1t is a real
mine and the management is good.
However, the choice is a matter of
individual judgment, and we have
known investors to buy mining stocks
all the way up from the beginning to
the dividend-paying stage, and were
satisfied all the time.

CHEERFUL NEWS
FROM GOLDF|ELD
Entire District Gives Good Evidence OF
Recovery from Long Spell of
ldleness-AlI Leasers
Busy
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald
GOLDFIELD. June 2.-Goldfield is
recovering from the setback in mine
production occasioned by the late shut
down due to the strike, and is swinging
into its old form as a producer The
shipments to the Nevada Goldf1eld Re-
duction company for week, accord
ing to figures furnished in detail by
the management, comprised 10,066 tons,
while the Combination mill of the Con-
solidated consumed several hundred
tons, besides $50 tons sent out from the
Mohawk workings of the Consolidated
to the Nevada Ore Purchasing COM
pany at Millers. 1t has taken some of
the biggest producers several months
to get their mines in the shape they
were in before the shutdown. The shut
down came without twenty-four hours
notice and many of the mines were left
with unprotected workings and serious
cave-ins resulted.
Since the resumption of, operations a
few weeks ago the mine owners have
accomplished wonders in putting their
properties in shape for extracting ore
on a more extensive scale. In addi-
ton to repairing the shafts and under
ground workings, new and more pow
erful machinery has been installed and
elaborate plans perfected by the COM
pdillSS cll6lllSSIS lOI Tie SClGllllllC uG-
velopment of the properties. The pre-
liminary work has, in a large measure,
been completed, and the actual devel-
opment work will now be prosecuted
intelligently and vigorously. Some of
the mines have already resumed ship
ments, but the shipments have been
mainly confined to the ore taken out
in the work of reconstruction and can
hardly be considered in the light of
regular production.
Not a cloud appears in the sky to
threaten the great and constantly aug
menting prosperity of the camp. The
strike is completely settled in every
place and no talk of discomfort is
heard. There are more miners at work
than ever before and more machinery
has been purchased within the past
month than during any previous six
months of the camps history. Fifteen
mines are shipping, and that number
will be doubled in two weeks. Scores
of new properties are being worked and
the hills of Goldfield are covered far
and near with leasers

been rapid, for it was but few weeks
ago that Cyrus Gresh, who is now gen.
eral manager of the company, began
sinking a shaft Immediately upon
finding his ore body and giving 1t a
thorough test arrangements were made
for a mill, and this has been ordered.
A bit of romance attaches to the
property in which Mr.. Gresh played
an important part. He, being the own
er, mortgaged the property, and was
compelled to allow it to go to eastern
parties. He then took lease and
option for one year and floated his
company, which bought the option and
lease outright.
Specimens of ore from the eighty-five
foot shaft show fabulous gold values,
and every pound of rock being taken
from the drift is pay ore.
1t is freely predicted that the prop
erty will be one of the greatest pro-
ducers opened in the canyon in recent
years.
Foreman DeBerry has arranged to
start two shifts at work blocking out
ore, and force of men will imme-
diately begin excavating for the mill,
which will be in operation within the
next ninety days.

LIFE SAVING STATION
WILL BE WILLOW CREEK

On account of the unusual purity and
excellence of the water found at the
spring below the camp of Willow
Creek, near Greenwater, a movement
is under way to establish a brewery at
that point, says the Greenwater Miner
The leading brewers of Milwaukee, St
Louis and other noted cities have been
addressed in regard to the project. The
general consensus of opinion is that a
brewery at this point would pay hand
some dividends and be of further ad-
vantage to the country in attracting
hundreds of prospectors to the Green

POSTOFFICE INSPECTOR
INVESTIGATES R0BBERIES
Special to The Herald.


OCEAN PARK, June 2.-Postoffice
Inspector Wilson of Los Angeles paid
visit to the local postoffice yester-
day to make a personal investigation
of the burglary of Friday morning of
the lock boxes rented by the First
National bank and the Commercial
bank.
The only facts that are known in the
matter are that the compartments
were forced open between 1 and
O'Clock Friday morning and that some
mail was taken from EACH The rob-
berry was discovered by Stewart King,
son of President Marvin r. King of the
Commercial bank, when he arrived at
the postoffice to make the morning COL
lection of mail.
The loss sustained by the banks,
the officials of the institutions state,
probably consists of nothing more VAL
liable than checks which could not
readily be cashed. Correspondents OF
the banks have been notified of the
robbery and it is expected that a de-
scription of most of the stolen matter
will be received within few days.

CRESCENT SHOWS
FINE PROSPECTS
Important Strike by Ike Reynolds,
Who Found $3.50 Ore at the
Grass Roots-Active
Mining Camps
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
CRESCENT New, June 2.-One of
the most important strikes of the week
has been made by Ike Reynolds, who,
while prospecting, opened four-foot
shoot of ore that averages $3.50 per
ton from the grass roots. The ore
carries high values in silver and lead,
and also some gold. Careful sampling
of the find shows that the values are
scattered all across the vein, and are
not confined to any given portion. A
shaft will be sunk on the vein.
The Golden Crescent company is now
developing the Opal vein on the Syn
dicate claim, and the workings have
opened up two feet of rock running
from $S to $40 per ton. The vein is
widening and the values are increasing
with each foot of depth.
Two feet of pay rock has been opened
on the Jumbo claim of the Searchlight
Gold Extraction, and exploration of
the find shows it to be a permanent
shoot, from which shipments can be
made. The development on the Jumbo
is being directed to blocking out good
ore reserves, so that regular shipments
can be maintained once the ore begins
to find it's way to the smelters.
Ajax BulIfrog Property
Three feet of fine shipping ore has
heen opened on the 200-foot level of the
Ajax Bullfrog, and superintendent R.
III. B. Warburton is now engaged IN
driving a 15O-foot cross cut for the
purpose of opening up the vein on a
more extensive scale. Two shifts are at
work and more men will be added as the
workings advance sufficiently to per-
NIT.
In the regular course of development
on the Nevada Crescent Superintendent
Stanish has uncovered a large body OF
ore that will run 5000 per ton. There
is sufficient ore in sight at the present
item to begin shipments, but the work
ings will be extended on to permit
blocking out ore reserves and place
the mine on a permanent producing
basis when shipments begin. 1t Is
planned to drop the present workings
to great depth before attempting TO
block out the ore.
