Among the LuCky-=-Many
New Deals Reported

Wasp property are also looking partic-
ularly fine In the Toohey-Renicke lease
the same high grade of ore is being
sacked and the mine is in a fair way to
yield a heavy tonnage.
In the lease which was formerly the
Herzog, wonderful things have hap
pened since it's purchase by George
Watt of Austin. A company known as
the spider-wasp Leasing company has
been formed and the development is now
vigorous and mine fashion.
In the Red Wonder last week ledge
fully 40 feet in width was discovered
close to the surface which gave returns
from a pay streak three feet wide of
1856. The course of the ledge is almost
north and south and it's existence was
not known until a crosscut trench
opened II. In view of the fact that this
section has been generally supposed to
be heavily capped over the finding of
this immense ore body so close to the
surface can scarcely be overestimated.
A number of big deals have been
worked up here in the last few days
prominent among them being the pur-
chase by Henry Weber of the Joe
Dandy and Valley View group
north of the Gold King. Mr.. Weber was
one of the first of the Goldfield people
to realize the Importance of the Won
der district and he has not missed
chance since to acquire a good piece of
ground. The claims involved in this
purchase are very desirable and the
price is in accordance.
Work is to commence at once upon
the Jack Pot Fraction ground which is
controlled by Thos. H. Condor & Co, of
Goldfield and Wonder. The treasury is
now in good shape and this fine pros
pect will be developed rapidly.

A. III. Mayne arrived from Ramsey

Strikes are following one on the heels
of another in the Wonder mining dis
trict in a way which is both fast and
furious Within the week very inn
portant discovery of rich gold ore has
been made upon the Golden Wonder
ground. The company in which A. H.
swallow and many Goldfelders are in
terested, has been doing considerable
prospect work on the estate and some
fine lodges have been uncovered. On
Friday last prospecting tunnel in about
25 feet ran suddenly into a blind ledge
which was found upon examination to
be literally besprinkled with free gold.
The assays across two feet where the
ledge was first cut averaged $3.50. The
ore is white quartz Of particularly
healthy nature which carries consider
able iron hematite. Beyond few
ounces in silver the values were prac-
tically all gold. This discovery extends
the proven zone of the camp to a con-
siderable extent and has brought prop
critics on the range of hills west of the
town strongly into demand. AS a con-
sequence of the strike the town was
pretty thoroughly canvassed for Golden
Wonder stock and sales are reported as
high as 10 cents.
Another find of considerable magni-
tude is the discovery of a 12-foot vein,
in the Edwards lease of the Spider and
Wasp company, which returned aver
age values over good part Of the body
of 5000. This vein was cut in the shaft
at depth of 80 feet. The force of
men will be increased at once and the
ledge will be thoroughly prospected by
means of drifts in either direction while
the work of sinking continues without
interruption.

For over three months. almost daily. the
question was debated. Naturally there
were some, those who espoused the
cause, who were convinced before the
movement was begun, but they were
primarily in the minority. Mr.. w. r.
McDowall was the first one to make the
suggestion. 1t was done quietly and the
germ was allowed to develop gradually
The daily papers of New York learned
of the movement and one day the story
came out and the fight was on. Oppon-
ents of the measure resorted to several
moves, among them being to start the
story that the New York Stock Ex-
change would sever cordial relations
with the Produce.
I'm a way this report did much to
crystalize the matter, as the Produce
being the largest exchange in America,
with the largest trading floor In the
world, and being the Oldest in the his
tory of American exchanges, the threat

has been deposited. the ground pans
from surface. At bedrock returns by
panning of $50 to the ton have been re-
ported.
The experience of all who have been
operating in that section is that the
values increase slowly but surely from
the surface. While in places the oxi-
died rock will pay, it is thought to be
necessary to pierce the sulphide zone be-
fore finding shipping rock.

When work closed down the shaft on
the Mary claim of the Imperial Mining
company, a holding of the Mohawk
Ledge company, was down twenty feet
and a splendid ledge was being pros
pected This is a showing that promises
to develop into producer. In the mean
time the best of news came from the
Mohawk Ledge on the Jumbo Extension.
The drift was daily piercing better ore
and the last shot brought out rock as
saying 1920 to the ton. The manage
ment of this company is determined that
dividends be paid as soon as possible.
The company has no indebtedness and
its properties are well equipped.

The management of the Goldfeld

erty with one of the most complete ma
chinery plants in the district A 20
hourse power hoist is on the ground and
the other machinery necessary to make
the plant up to date in every particular
Is on the way. The proximity of the
Amethyst to the big bonanza mines of
the Diamondfield section makes this
estate of great value and the known
trend of the ore zone westerly from the
Great Bend and the Daisy gives the best
ground for the belief that here will be
found ore bodies of size and value equal
to any Of the big properties of Diamond
field.
The character of the fomation of this
portion of the district will permit of
rapid work and within short time the
property should be on better than pay
ing basis. Sinking will proceed rapidly
until the 1O0-foot level is reached. when
lateral work will be commenced.

C. W. Hayes. one of the big mining
men of Goldfeld and principal owner in
the Nevada Frisbee Mining and Milling
company. just returned from trip Of
inspection to the companys property at
Ida. He reports the mine in the best
possible condition. Two shifts are now
employed in prosecuting from the 200
foot level to open at more depth the i'm
mense ore bodies showing in the upper
levels. Already one of the veins has
been cut through and sf ows an immense
body of milling ore. with strinsers Of
some extremely high grade rock. Work
is being pushed along as rapidly as pos
sible to cut one of the largest veins
showing above and 1t is believed this
will be encountered within the next 20
feet. with the opening Of this vein the
Frisbee can then be said to be one OF
the large milling propositions of Ne
vada. A mill will be constructed as

Marc M. Reynolds, editor of Nc
Dowell's magazine, Of New York, has
been in camp for several days posting
himself on the mines of the district.
Mr.. Reynolds tells an interesting
story of the fight for the listing of min
ing shares on the New York Produce Ex-
change. the largest in the country
which resulted favorably to the miners.
Mr.. Reynolds, in referring to the mat
ter. said to The News:
Probably the most important move
to investors and people interested In
legitimate mining, is the one made by
the famous old New York Produce Ex-
change. which will hereafter exercise
a protectorate over the listing and deal
ing in mining shares in the east. The
story of the sessions which eventuated
in the final affirmative vote. would be
interesting.
TT was not an easy matter to per-
suade a body of twenty-four hundred

titled to rank on the same level with

RUBY HILL ESTATE

Extensive development work is short
ly to be started on the property of the
Ruby Hill company, which consists of
As acres adjoining the Christmas group,
which is owned by Senator Oddie.
The Ruby Hill shaft Is now down
100 feet, from which point considerable
prospecting is to be done. The work
thus far shows the property to be very
we'll mineralized and the company is
sanguine of opening up a shoot of pay
ore. The management has purchased
gasoline hoist and will sink another
hundred feet. from which point cross
cutting will again be started. The COM
pany has sufficient capital to carry on
active development for long time.

f. w Clipson. manager on the ground
for Wallace II. Hopkins company, of
Chicago. is anxiously waiting the signal
from the Mine Owners and Business
Mems association. when resumption of
mine operations will occur, so he can
again get to work on the fine lease OF
the company on the Red King claim.
This lease is south of the Little Flor
ence lease and adjoining the Pollard and
the Dewey leases, all of which were
about to break into the ore, apparently,
when the shutdown came. The Flor
ence-Hopkins lease has drift 210 feet
deep and was showing strong mineral
ization all through the last so feet.
There is good chance for this lease to
get the Little Florence vein, IL it
proves continuous.
The company is doing intelligent and
energetic work and will get the ore IL
there is any there. 1t Is among aristo-
cratic neighbors.

NEVADA GoLDFIELD GOING
ARrER ORE AT GREATER DEPTH

Work has not been suspended on the
Nevada Goldfeld, a property situated
south Of this camp. Twenty-one miners
are steadily employed and crosscuts are
being run north and south from the 500
foot point. The north crosscut is ad-
vanced $50 feet and will get the ledge
in about two weeks 1t will probably
require eight weeks to cut the ledge in
the south crosscut, which is now in 500
feet.
Both these lodges have been opened
down to the 200 level, where they
showed greater width and better values
than on the surface. The new level
will give $50 feet of additional backs.
