The recent strikes at sawtooth have
been of such an encouraging nature as
to stimulate operations in that section.
A number of prominent mining men
have visited sawtooth during the week
and they have been ~astonished at the
rich showing on the properties on which
development work has been done. As
the result Of the strikes and the ex-
aminations made a number Of deals have
been concluded or are in process OF con-
summation. The outlook for the Saw
tooth section Is therefore very bright
and everything points to 1t as one OF the
sure winners and that the era of produc-
ton Is not far on.
J.. F. Robinson and NJ E. Golden OF
San Francisco visited the camp during
the week and they were enthusiastic
over the prospects Of the district. 1t Is
likely tha they will acquire . sub
stantial interest in the sawtooth town.

ANOTHER BIG WONDER DEAL
Gxtracs from aoldaeld News of March 9th. 1907

Extract from Goldfeld News of March 9th, 1907
Among the strong mining companies of Nevada recently organized 10
the Monnette Wonder Mining Company, with M. J. Monneth, of Hayes
Monndte Mohawk lease fame, Is President. The Company viii operate
in Wonder and has taken over the Nellie and Jim properties adjoining the
Nevada Wonder mine, reputedly one of the richest in the State u Nevada
and controlled by John W. Brock, principal owner of the famous Mizpah
mine of Tonopah, and B. h. Rushton, President of the Fourth National
Bank of Philadelphia. Mr.. M,nnette's confidence in this property is SO
great that he has connected his name with that OF the company. The
ground is considered by mining engineers IS among the choicest IN the
Wonder district and is the last big property centrally located in that
district to change hands.
Some few weeks ago the firm Of Davis, Wheeler & Co. secured an
option on this property for a large sum ($300,000) and after a thorough
examination by the best mining engineers in Nevada, they purchased it
outright OF behalf Of themselves, N. j. Monnette and their associates.
The property adjoins the Nevada Wonder mine on the north and west and
is contiguous with it for nearly 1900 feet, with a total area Of IS acres,
situated O. the crest of Wonder Mountain, with the same great lodges
exposed on the surface a s on the Nevada Wonder. It is said that the
shipping ore has already been opened up on this property.
Immediately O its acquisition, Jack Davis, better known throughout
the mining world as "Diamondfeld Jack" Davis, placed a force of men
at work upon the property, with one of the best known mining engineers
in Nevada in charge. The development work is being pushed with all
possible dispatch and both MI. Monnette and MI. Davis feel confident OF
opening up the sam great ore bodies in the near future as already
blocked out in the Nevada Wonder mine adjoining.

Extract from Goldned News. February 9th. 1907
Another Wonder property has just been added to Davis & Wheeler
extensive holdings in that sensational camp. The Nellie and Jim claims
joining the Nevada Wonder on the northwest, are the claims bought by
Diamondfed Jack Davis and his associates and up to the time Of its sale
was the last big property centrally located in that district that had not
changed hands. This property has always been the rich plum sought after
by the big operators yer since the Nevada Wonder and the famous Jack
Pot mines were sold, but Parkinson, Fitzgerald and the other owners have
always refused to sell.
Last November Mr. Davis made a hurried trip to Wonder, the object
being to acquire the Daisy Wonder situated on the west of the Nevada
Wonder. While there he examined the Jack Pot and other famous mines
and also the property he has just bought.
Davis, noted drought Nevada for his exceptional mining acumen,
was 81 favorably impressed with the wonderful possibilities Of the prop
ery for mine making that he Immediately set about to acquire the mine,
but the original owners realizing the value of their holdings, refused to
sell until this week, when, after a three days consultation in Reno with
Davis. they finally agreed to give up their property. The transaction IN IN,
volved the payment Of 100000 and the vendors also received 100000
shares of stock in a company which win be Immediately formed for the

to provision embodied in the petition
the strip of land referred to- if accepted
by the council can be used for no other
purpose than that of highway.
The docking will involve an expense

the night cometh when no man can
work. The insomniac, utterly ia.

but a coma, lethargs, torpor, born
of fatigue. In a few hours the demon
says Awake" and the insomnia
starts instantly into waking with
bright, staring, winkless, sleepless
eyes. Is there no cure? None. In
somnia comes with age. You cannot
