WONDER GOLD ROCK
PURCHASED BY 0oLDrIELDERs

Walter O'Brien has landed a big deal
in the Wonder district. He has pur-
chased 1874 acres, known as the Gold
Rock group, the property lying between
the Spider 4 Wasp and the Moss groups.
This latter property was recently ac-
CURED by John Hays Hammond and as
sociates.
The Gold Rock contains undoubtedly
the rich ore shoots of it's n~eighbors.
Samples from the groupings of the ledge
assay s24.27, while float goes as high as
5000. The latter undoubtedly comes
from a lead on Gold Rock ground. being
proven by the extent of the territory
and the topography of the ground.
In a few days the Gold Rock will be
incorporated for one million shares, -four
hundred thousand in the treasury. Mr..
Monnette. DIR. Robinson, J. l.. Lindsay
and Walter ID. O'Brien will be the incor-
porators. The property was purchased
for $4,000 cash and $4,000 shares of
stock. There are shippers on all four
sides. A campaign of development will
be undertaken at once. The ground will
shortly be patented.
Mr.. O'Brien also bought a group adj
joining the Spider & Wasp. 1t is known
as the Owl group. The estate consists
of six claims comprising about ITO
acres. Associated with Mr.. O'Brien In
this deal are w. W. Keith of Tonopah.
d.. p. Sullivan Inc II. c. Jones'. This
will be a close corporation. Work on
the property will begin at once. A lease
on the Spider e. Wasp. which is produce
ing rich ore, shows a continuity of the
ledge into Owl ground. The ledge is
well defined on the latter property and
will be developed by a tunnel.

The new twenty-five horse power
hoist ordered for the Goldfeld Amethyst
some time ago has arrived and is now
on the property waiting to be installed.
A gallows frame is being put into place
and necessary buildings are being
erected. When these improvements are
finished the Amethyst will have as COM
plete an equipment as any new prop
erty in the district. Diamondield Jack
Davis, the father of Diamondfeld, thinks
well of the Amethyst and is preparing
to develop the estate on the most extern
sive plans.
The surface indications show three
well defined veins, one coming from
the Red Buttes and the other trendine
westerly from the Daisy and Great
Bend. The main shaft is being sunk
at the junction of two of these veins
and in Mr.. Davis opinion it is only
a question of depth and development
before opening up the same great ore
bodies as are found in Daisy, Great Bend
and other bonanza Diamondfeld mines.

Is ACTIVE

The cost of buildings now under con-
struction is up in the million dollar
class and they number hundreds. Such
activity was probably never before
equaled in a Nevada mining camp. In
the vicinity of Hall and Main streets,
near which the office of the News is
located, two thirds of the buildings are
either in course of construction or in
embryo. On Columbia street the condi-
ton is similar. Buildings costing any
where from a few hundre to a third OF
a million dollars are being erected as
fast as artisans can work and material
be supplied.

j.. d. Paulson was having a we'll
dug in the real of the Hess build
ing on the east side, and when
down five or six feet when water
was reached operations were sus-
pended IN account of the presence
of oil. The surface os the water
is covered with oil and it keeps
coming in spite of the fact that
the water has been bailed out a
number of times. A we'll on the
premises of F. NJ. Baker, a few
feet to the east, shows oil in the
water to such an extent that it is
unfit for use. Either some wag
has ''salted" these wells plentiful
ly with kerosene, or oil is making
it's way to the surface in a way
that would indicate it's presence in
paying quantities at lower
depth.

Death of Arthur Parr

We have just learned of the
death of Arthur Parr of Encamp-
ment at the home of his mother.
from penOmonia on Sept. 10Th.
Arthur was only sick a few days
before his untimely end. AS soon
as he showed any sign of illness
Mrs. Parr summoned a physician
but the cas took such a turn for
the worse that it was beyond med
ical skill to retain any life as it
quickly ebbed away.
Arthur was IA years, 7 months
and II days old at the time of his
death, and his taking away was a
hard blow for his mother and sis.
tiers and brothers. He was a boy
growing into manhood with
every faculty to make a mark for
himself in this world His moth
er feels the loss keenly as only a
mother can and she with her fam
lily has the sympthy of all the old
timers of this valley who have
known them as good substantial
neighbors.
The funeral was one of the
largest ever attended in Encamp-
ment and the flowers brought
from far and near covered the
grave and casket until neither
ere visible.
He was laied to rest bes ide his
father in the old dunkard ceme-
tary. This makes the third death
in Mrs. PARIS family in the past
year.

Another Check Forger

William Norton took it into his
head last week to get some easy
money. He had been working
for r. A. Day and received a
check for his wages, $2l so, this
he cashed at the bank. But be.
fore cashing it he studied the
signature carefully, and practiced
writing it on a an old piece of
slate until he got it down fine en-.
ough. Then he started out. He
drew several checks for $21 SO
each, one of which he induced G..
W. Maxtield to cash and another
he passed on the Webb saloon.
This was as far as he got before
he was caught. Marshall Taylor
took him in and turned him over
to Deputy Sheriff Richmond who
took him to Rawlins Friday. On
Saturday he was taken before
Judge Craig, plead guilty and
now has winter quarters at the
Hotel de Heyn.
