EAST PICKS OUT
WONDER FOR BOOM
Youngster Among Mining Camps
Will Be Center Attraction
This Summer.
INVESTOR WANTS A
CAMP LIKE G0LDFIELD
utahns Are Prominently Inter
ested in Wonder and Will
Be Benefited.

If one thinks that the interest In min
ing in Eastern cities is becoming less
intense, and that the faith in the IN
dustry is lessening, he will find his mis-
take quite readily by feeling the pulse
OF Eastern money centers. Thus
spoke G.. G.. Rico Tuesday. Mr.. Rice
has shown by many years of dealings in
mining stocks that getting aquainted
with the public is one of his strongest
cards, and for several months he has
been III New York and, in fact, all the
large cities along the coast, During this
time he has kept closely in touch with
the situation, and he states that never
before has the Eastern investor dis
played so keen desire for mining
stocks.
Apparently the East realizes that
there must be another district selected
from the many in Nevada that will pro;
vide food for the investor. Goldfcld
properties by becoming merged have
been temporarily removed from the
reckoning of Eastern circles, and the
Eastern talent has selected the camp
OF Wonder as presenting more ideal
chances for boom of Goldfield pro.
portions than any other section of the
Sage"brush State. There arc fully thir.
teen properties now at Wonder, stated
Mr., Rice yesterday, that are sending
out resources at this time or are amply
able to do so. Such showing for
camp not much over year old has
hardly been equaled by the State of
Nevada during the resurrection period,
Another thing that has impressed the
East is that several Wonder stocks are
ranging, well up the value ladder. One
stock already is quoted at 81 Il share,
another at So and several lower than
these figures, but at extremely satisfac-
tory levels. Mr.. Rice states that the
East is Impressed with such values. and
thinks that a camp that can produce
such showings at its first milestone III
life will be able to do something a great
deal better as time advances, SO Won
der has been selected as the point upon
which Will he focused the attention
and the Eastern booster of mining
stocks, and this summer there will be
repeated at tins camp one of those pic
turesque campaigns that made Gold
field noted the world over.
MIR. Rice pointed out that such a
campaign at Wonder will greatly bene-
fit Salt Lake and Utah interests, for
of all camps that have risen into pub
lie estimation by the efforts in part of
Salt Lake talent, Wonder has been dis.
tlnctively the scene of sueh endeavor.
Salt Lake talent was among the very
first TO land Wonder properties, and
while the first arrivals, in numerous in
stances, succeeded in turning over To-
cations at a very fine profit, many re-
tanned their properties and developed
them into present-day interest centers.
The boom for the present season. there.
fore, will have steady application TO
local circles, and it will emphasize at
the same time the successful manner
in which Utah talent operates in Nc
vada.
Mr.. Rice was very enthusiastic re-
garding Wonder and its future, and be-
fore leaving yesterday afternoon for
that camp predicted that it would be-
come a second Gold6eld.
