WONDER MINERS
SIGN AGREEMENT

n possibility of a tie-up at Wonder
on account of labor troubles is no longer
| feared as the miners union has signed
| an agreement with the mine operators
| association for one year OF the basis
of SIS a day. Henry Weber, who is heav-
| lily interested in Wonder properties, re-
ceived news of the settlement early in
| the week and at once began preparations
for pushing work on the various prop
critics he represents. The hoistS for the
| Doctor Wonder and the Dickey mines
| nave arrived at Fallon and will be
hauled to the mines as soon as the con-
| dition of the roads will permit. The
recent storms have resulted in practice
| ally a suspension of traffic between
| Fallon and Wonder but it is expected
that the roads will be opened up again
by the first of the week when the rush
into the camp will be renewed.
The signing of the wage agreement
was a signal for the resumption of work
in all the mines of the district.
Another shipment of ore will be made
in a few days from the Vulture and
from now on shipments will be made
regularly as the mpa has a large
body of $500 ore blocked out.
The Doctor Wonder, after one weeks
work, has opened up a three-foot ledge
that averages $31 on the surface. The
ledge is a continuation of the Vulture
ledge and the prospects are very en-
couraging. Two shifts will be put TO
work on the property at once and deVei-
opment work will be pushed actively.
The Joe Dandy group has been incor-
porated as the Dictator mining COM
pany and two shifts are at work getting
out shipping ore.

SHIPMENTS TO BE
MADE FROM LEE

J. P. Nelson is in from Lee and brings
very assuring news from the Hayseed
and Burro properties. At a point 800
feet %northerly from the original Hayseed
strike, the surface has been exposed for
about eight feet square,, exposing a solid
bed of ore that shows free gold in
abundance. The ore may be sacked and
shipped without sorting and Superin-
tendent Nelson has ordered sacks to pre-
pare a shipment. The old shaft, thirty
feet deep, has been squared UP, and sink
ing will be resumed on a fine ledge of
shipping ore. In another place, the
miners are working in shipping values,
making three places where sacking may
be done almost from grass roots. A ff-
teen horsepower gasoline hoist has been
ordered by wire to equip the original
shaft. Mr.. Nelson brought in some of
the recently discovered ore from the
Hayseed, and the specimens may be seen
at the office of the Rhyolite Mining &
Brokerage company.
The miners have stripped the ledge
for quite a distance and have exposed
some picture stuff that represents ship
ping values.
The Hayseed Mining company has
erected ODlctTS Us lOllOWS- sam r..
Lindsay, president; J. p. Nelson, vice
president; o. o. Kincaid, treasurer; ]. p.
Largent. secretary.
In the new workings on the Lee b.
nanza the shaft is down twelve feet in
solid ore, paintings from which would
indicate values of better than 5000 per
ton in places, and it is believed the en-
tire body will pay to ship. This shaft
is on the main ledge on the Beck claim,
which can be traced on the surface by
groupings for a distance of 1000 to
1900 feet. 1t has the same trend and is
generally believed to be an extension of
the rich Hayseed ledge. The property
of the Lee Bonanza is in many respects
similar to the Hayseed, having the same
character of ore and being located on
low rolling hills opposite the fiat from
the Hayseed. There are five strong
ledge on the Beck and Valley claims,
all of which have been opened up by
surface work, and in all these workings
good values are obtained. Con Driscoll,
superintendent, who has been connected
with some of the big mines of Goldfeld,
calls it Jumbo Hill No. q"

Manhattan. New. April 2.-One of the
most important among several plans
looking ward a coalition of Manhattan
mining properties is that having at its
object the consolidation of the Mustang
and Hindocraft estates For several
weeks past the Hindocraft people have
been purchasing large blocks of Mus
tang stock. A few days ago, John
Humphrey gave to w. J.. Arkell of this
city. representative of the Hindocraft
company, an option on a block of Mus
tang. approximating FIVE hundred thou
sand shares. 1t is known that the
Chicago parties behind the deal have
ample funds with which to take up the
option. This leads to the deduction that
the Hindocraft and Mustang are to be
merged. In an interview with your
correspondent Mr.. Arkell made the fol-
lowing statement in relation to the
purchase. and the option OF a large
blocks of Mustang stock.
1T is true that 1 rave an option on
a large block of Mustang and that these
shares, together with the block of that
c~ompany's stock tina I have purchased
within the past three weeks, gives the
PtVHtt " tifdU a
control of the Mustang. 1 cannot state
what the future will develop as I am
not a director in either company. 1
was asked to purchase a certain block
Of Mustang stock and to secure an OPP
ton on a large block, both of which I
have done. / am not, however. fully
advised as to the future plans of the
interested companies"
MUSTANG DEvELoPMENT
Development of the Mustang is pro-
crossing as rapidly as is compatible
with systematic mining effort and under
conditions which assure continuity of
ledge and values to a depth greatly in
excess of the present point of opera
tions. Two veins are being worked at
the 210-foot level, both of which show
sulphides in quantity and carry much
gold in the free. The entire product
from both lodges is shipping ore and no
inconsiderable portion is sufficiently
high in gold grade to warrant it's being
sacked and stored in the workings.
From the pitch of these lodges 1t ap-
pears probable that they will make into
a common ore body at about 800 feet in
depth.
THE HINDoCRAFT
Whorton & company, contractors, have
driven the Hindocraft TUNE a length
of rs feet into the hill and are pushing
the bore ahead as rapidly as the close
grained, drill point turning country for
nation permits. The breast of the tun-
mel is streaked with quartz %stringers
that resemble in appearance the high
grade ore being mined by the Otero peo-
pie. These stringers, while very mar
row, return shipping assays and will
doubtless converge into a single ore
body at a point not far in advance of the
present face of the tunnel. The object
i've point sought by the Hindocraft man
agement is the huge ledge which out
crops almost the entire length of the
property.
THE SANTA LOLA
The tunnel being utilized as a devel-
opment medium for the Baby Ruth claim
of the Santa Lola Mining company has
a distance of 425 feet and in its breast

NEWS OF MANHATTAN DISTRICT

Is exposed n quartzite dyke showing
heavy liberalization. Quartz stringers
In this ledge return assays as high as
s3S in gold to the ton. From the general
character of the ore 1t appears prob
able that pay grade in place will be en-
countered with but little further devel-
opment. At the 35e-foot point in the
tunnel an upraise for air circulation is
being made. 1t has been driven a length
of 90 feet and will reach surface within
a very few days.
MANHATTAN MAMMOTH
Development work on the Manhattan
Mammoth estate at this time consists
of a unnel COS feet in length. 60 feet
of drifting and a shaft SIS feet in depth.
Forty-eight feet of vein matter has been
crosscut and prosecuted. and the bore
is now being driven to reach contact
with the third of a series of lodges that
cross the acreage. This ledge has an
outcrop so feet wide at the apex of the
hill and will be tapped in the tunnel at
a depth of 800 feet. For the past 200
feet of drifting gold values have been
secured as high as $50 the ton. When
the third, or east ledge. has been cut
drifts will be run out on 1t In both direc-
lions.
orERo VALUES
At a depth of 25 feet values in the
Otero ledge show no signs of diminish
ing, but in contra distinction appear to
be a permanent asset of the owning
company. So far as exposed the vein
has an average width of 3h feet. most
of which is shipping quartz. The ledge
is standing almost vertical. dipping but
slightly to the south end pans gold from
grass-roots to a depth of rs feet. A
contract has been let for 100 feet of
shaft sinking. A few days ago another
ledge, presenting strong indications of
making into pay ore at no great depth
was located at surface. Superintendent
Shepard is now running an open cut
thereon for the purpose of proving up
at surface. The point of it's location
is 500 feet south of the vein from which
the miners are now sacking high
grade.
roQUIxA coPPEB
Drifting from the end of a 16-foot
crosscut in the ledge at the 170-foot
level of the Toquima shaft has resulted
in the discovery of an ore body richer
thar any before opened up in the prop
erty. The face of the drift has an
average value of 10 per cent copper.
and is notified with high punches of
almost c~halcopyrites. Development is
hampered by the non-arrival of pump
ing machinery. ordered some time ago.
THE INDEPENDENT
Samples taken recently from across
the shaft which is following the ledge
downward on the estate of the Man
haitian Independent Mining company
gave assay returns as high as $52S.20
in gold and 1894 in silver the ton. This
shaft has a depth of 81 feet. Samples
taken from the vertical shaft being sunk
for the purpose of cutting this ledge
on it's dip gave assay returns of 1884
in gold. This shaft is as yet in the
country rock, but is expected to tap
the vein at a depth of between SO and
rs feet. A sampling of the location
hole gave assay returns of $599.2O in
gold and $511 in silver to the ton.
