HAS OPTION ON
fine PROPERTIES
THOMAS PHILLIPS RETURNS
FROM WONDER WITH SOME
GOOD ONES.

Inomas Phtlhps returned from
Wonder yesterday after securing for
Tonopah parties an option on some
very fine properties adjoining the
Black Rock Mining Company's
ground. He got in all, FIVE claims
and a fraction, known as the Black
Rock annexes, all being surrounded
by the Black Rock, Ramsey Wonder
and the Annette groups.
Wonder is surely a place we'll
named, said Mr.. Phillips, for !
never saw such a lot of energetic
rustlers in any place that | have ever
been. and better than anything else
they have the goods. There are at
least half a dozen properties which
are now ready to ship, and shipments
have already gone out of the camp.
The Black Rock looks as good
to me as anything in the camp, and
she viii be among the shippers inside
Of thirty days. They are down fifty
feet, and have started a tunnel. They
have ore there now ready to be
sacked, and they are only waiting
for the arrival of timbers to go ahead
as fast as they can in taking out the
pay rock.
They have the water into the
town of Wonder now, within 200
yards of the Main street, and the
town is getting its supply from this
source. The live people are for the
most part all young men, mostly
from Tonopah and Goldfeld, and II
doesn't take them all day to make
up their mind to do a thing.
Wonder is an up to date mining
camp, and there is something doins
there all the time. They have a
c~rack-a-jack baseball club, and they
have a social club like the Mizpah.
here. This is to be opened in a few
days with a swell dance to which
invitations have been sent out as far
East as New York. There are foul
banks now in Wonder, there are sa.
looms galore, a dance hall, two drug
stores. two hotels, one having been
Just completed which is lighted with
a~cetylene gas. There are also two
newspapers and everything is run
ming in the finest kind of shape.

Chief Of Police Malley, Sheriff j. J..
Owens and District Attorney p. H.

on the Turtle Dove claim on Liti-

same as fast as they can get a start
on the ground. Malley and McCar-
rem, in company with Arthur Ray
craft, will leave for Manhattan this
morning to look over the ground to
determine upon the best spot on
which to sink a shaft.
The famous litigation which has
kept idle the mountain which de-
rived it's name from the many ac-

it, was settled about two weeks ago

sheepman, the Chief of the Hills
mining property in the Cherry Creek

The Chief of the Hills mine prop
erty adjoins on the west the famous
Star mine, owned by Glasgow, Scot

duced more than 100000 in silver
and lead ores, but has been idle for
some years, as the result of the de-
cline in the price of silver, which
made it impracticable to transport
the ores to the railroad, which was

Wild HORSE Mines
SHOW RICH VALUES

The discovery of new mining dis
tricts in Nevada has at times been
accompanied by more or less of the
romantic, and the find of rich ores in
Wild Horse district was not an ex-
ception, for 1t was one of the first
finds made on the Walker Indian
reservation. The camp lies about
three and one-half miles to the west
of Walker lake and near Cottonwood.
This was a virgin field and the first
aggressive operators to enter it were
Colonel r. A. ~Falkenberg. a promi-
nent Goldheld mining operator, and
of the original locators of the
Old Dutchman mine, on Dutchman
creek, a lengthy review of which
was published in the Journal some
months since. On this trip of ex-
~ploration Colonel Falkenberg was ac-
companied by e. p. Bancroft, a bust
ness man of San Francisco, and
Frank Seykora. a mining expert very
favorably known in Nevada camps.
II was around Wheeler Pass springs
on Wild Horse trail that Seykora
picked up a lot of samples of copper
stained float which were subsequent
ly panned out by the colonial and it
was found that the quartz carried ex-
ceedlngly high values; in fact, 5000
per ton would not be an unreasonable
valuation to put on this ore. Sew
eral locations were at once made on
the outcrop of the vein which showed
up strong from six TO seventy feet
wide IN the surface. Assays had
after a limited amount of develop
ment work had been done showed
values from $37.S32 per o in gold
to amount to $64,50O per ton.
A corporation was soon after
formed with the following gentlemen
as directors: Colonel r. A. Falken-
berg, as president and general man
ager, who was recently appointed on
the military staff of Nevada's COVER
nor and who is also vice-president
and general manager of the Walker
Lake & Goldfeld Consolidated Min
ing company, general manager Of
the Old Dutchman Mines company
and president of the Nevada South
ern & Walker Lake Railroad COM
pany. The vice-president is Hon.
John Sparks, governor Of Nevada,
and with James II. Neven, bullion tax
collector of Nevada; Il. r. Bancroft,
a San Francisco merchant, as secre-
tary, and Frank Seykora, mining eX-
pert, superintendent. This corpora
ton is known as the Wild Horse Min
ing & Milling company and the devel-
opment work recently done has dis
closed an enormous vein carrying ex-
ceedingly high values in gold.
The estate of this corporation is
not only one of the first locations
made in the famous Walker lake re-
gion, but the promising surface show
ings have continued to the greatest
depth yet attained on the vein.
Within a few days a parallel vein
has been disclosed which is stronger
and very much higher grade than the
original discovery-Nevada State
Journal.

TOBACCO TRUST TO
ROB THE CRADLES

Press dispatches from Lexington, KY.
announce that a chance to test the
child labor law in that section is near
at hand. According to report, many
Of the tobacco warehouses and STEM
mer1es in that city are making ar
rangements to employ white women
and girls to perform all the labor that
does not require masculine strength.
They claim that like number of wo-
men or girls, all things being equal,
will do much more work than the same
number Of men, and do it better, when
the labor comes within the limitations
of their physical capabilities
The tobacco people have been in the
habit Of paying men from 81 to $3.50
per day for work that they propose
to give women and girls 81 to 81 per
week to perform.
While there may be no truth in this
press story, it behooves organized labor
In Kentucky to be on It's guard, and to
prevent, If possible. any violation of
the child labor laws Of the state.
Capital seems to be determined to have
child labor-to veritably rob the cradle,
Wage earners must therefore stand
ready to beat back all onslaughts on
the home.

INSANE UNION SMASHING.

This is a tale. of a bughouse union
smashing attempt. Over three years
ago employees Of a mill in Rochester,
N. Y, decided to demand higher wages
and went on strike. Thereupon the
concern, Vile & Oviatt, backed by the
Manufacturers Association, had four
prominent strikers arrested for con-
spring to raise wages. The defendants
demanded speedy trial, but upon one
pretext or another the case was showed
off from one term Of court to another.
Finally the case received a hearing,
and resulted in a disagreement of the
jury. A second trial was ordered, but
last week the court dismissed the case,
an dthus ends a legal battle that has
cost Monroe county, N. Y, and the
Manufacturers Association big bunch
Of money, while the Rochester unions
still live, are stronger than ever and
are still permitted to "conspire" to
raise wages.

LOCAL LABOR NOTES.
MUSICIANS UNION HONOR
THEIR POPULAR PRESIDENT

There is a good fellowship existing
among the Duluth musicians, which
ought to commend itself to every trade
union in Duluth. A short time ago the
union gave supper in honor of the
birthday Of 1ngvald Westgaard, the
popular secretary Of the local union
The affair was a great success from d
social standpcint
Last week it so happened that
Arthur Howell rounded up his tenth
year as president Of the Duluth Mu-
sicians union, and he was called down
town by telephone under the pretense
that he was wanted for business rea-
sons. He was met at the car and was
escorted 10 the headquarters Of the
Musicians union, where 1874 members
of the union were awaiting his arrival.
A fine spread was set, and Ingvald
Westgaard acted as POSTMASTER.
Speeches were made by H. w. Lam
ners, Edward Simpson, Jens H. Flaaten
L. Mostoe and several others. At the
conclusion of the feast Mr. Howell was
presented with a fine gold watch fob.
The charm consisted Of an emblem Of
the American Federation Of Musicians
During the "Wee sma hours Of the
morning. the banquet adjourned. It
was pronounced one of the most en-
joyable affairs in musical circles.
