PRoHIRlTIvE FREIGHT RATES

It's an easy matter to build city
when all the material is at hand at a
fair price, but in the building of Rhy-
olite these conditions did not exist. The
town was practically established by
freighting in lumber, pipe household
goods and everything at a Scent a
pound rate from Las Vegas, 125 miles
away. Think of that for a moment.
Do you imagine that any business en-
terprise in Los Angeles would stand for
such an expense as that, but the gold
was in the mountains that surround
the town, and must be extracted from
the hard stone, and to do this required
men, many men, and to provide for
the needs of the miners the stupendouS
work of building a town on the barren
desert was begun under conditions that
would have appalled, Napoleon Bona
parte, but it did not daunt the gold
seekers, than whom, as class, there
are no more indomitable men living.
Neither did they send out a cry for
help, but quietly and gamely the leaders
mapped out their plans and set to work
with the grim determination to build
the town, develop the mines and place
the town prominently on the map as a
live one"
This they have done at great outlay
of money and vital energy, and the best
of it is that, unlike many mining
camps, the town is regularly plated
with wide streets, and it is only queS-
ton of few years-very few at that
when Rhyolite will no longer be a
mining camp, but a city. Why? Be
cause the rich collaborating rock is
there in great lodges, and the miners
will be working long after your chill
dren's children have passed away and
been forgotten. 1t is estimated that
even now after only two years of de-
velopment work over $36,000000 in
ore has been blocked out, and the work
has just begun, for actual mining in its
true sense has not been done. 1t has
been the object of the men behind
the big mining enterprises to fully
prove their property and arrive at a
true conclusion as to the value of the
ore. it's character with Depth and thus
come to a fair knowledge of the best
means Of treatment. First and best
known to the world comes the Mont
gomery Shoshone mine with almost
10000 feet Of development work, the
Tramp Consolidated mines with over
5000 feet the Gibraltar with a like
amount, the Gold Bar, huge milling
proposition with 5000 feet of work
done. The "Homestake" also will be
opened up. The "Original Bullfrog,"

that are no longer prospects but good
mining property. Wildcat ventures
are few indeed in the Bullfrog dis
trict, for the reason that there is no
need for the hotation of "phoneys,"
because good property is to be had
for a price all over the mountains
OF that rugged section. And having
faith that mines can be developed on

companies are sinking shafts, driving
tunnels and aggressively rending the

JUMBO PROPERTY
RICH IN VALUE
Mineral Groups In the GoIdfleId Dis
trlct Promise Early Results to
the Leasing Company.
The Officers

The Jumbo Extension Leasing and
Mining company owns the following
properties In the Goldf1eld district:
A lease of 10000 square feet on the
surface of the famous Jumbo Extension
mining ground, which is surrounded on
all sides by the richest properties and
greatest producers in the world.
The great Mohawk ledge from the
Hayes & Monette and Oddie leases to
the Kewana properties is expected to
run through the very ground covered
by this lease. There it appears to be
intersected by the ledge which runs
from the st. Ives to the Laguna and by
reason of this crossing of lodges 1t is
generally accepted that the ore deposits
on this particular leased ground contain
more and richer values Than in any
of the famous properties surrounding
Il. A large force of as many men as
can be put on is being employed on
this lease
The mine is perfectly equipped with
heavy electric hoisting machinery, COW
cred by a substantial corrugated iron
building. A number of buildings of the
same material have been erected for
the tool and supply house, blacksmith
shop and other purposes.
A two-compartment shaft, heavily
timbered. has been sunk 200 feet. At a
Ocplu Ol LOO 1cSI d It'll 6Olu USbl III s
ledge was encountered in the shaft.
This is now being explored. A station
is being established whence cross-cut-
ting operations for the great ore bodies
will be pushed.
Stock Eagerly Taken
Sufficient funds for the continuation
of the work have Deen raised by tht
sale of treasury stock, which has beer
eagerly taken up by Goldfield and east
ern capitalists.
In addition to this lease, and perhaps
an even larger factor in its future
earnings, the company owns two groups
of three mining locations each in the
well known Copperopolis and Phillips
burg district, a little north of Gold
fie44. These six mining locations are
known as the Cans and Jay prop
critics. Over a hundred feet of shafts
have been sunk on these properties and
the prospect of these locations is very
promising.
1t must not be forgotten that this
company is incorporated with a lesser
number of shares than usual, only 700,-
600 shares being all the stock of the
corporation, of which 100000 was placed
IN the treasury.
The officers are Robert L. Toplitz
president and treasurer; William b
Nichols, vice president; Fl. ]. Parker
secretary; directors, William B. Mich

dore Rougeot and Robert L. Toplitz.

GOLDFIELD, New, March 16.-
Drowned as a berry from the sunburn
and wind, j. H. Macmillan of the j. Il.
Macmillan company, incorporated, re-
turned during the week from a trip by
automobile into Fairview, Wonder and
Manhattan, where he was on a three
weeks tour Of inspection of his various
mining interests.
Mr.. Macmillan returns with unusual
enthusiasm regarding the merits and
prospects of the new Wonder district,
which is commanding so much attention
from the mining world at this time.
There have been no back-cappers to
the Wonder district thus far, most of
them speaking in glowing terms of it's
extraordinary surface showings and the
high grade ore now sacked and on the
dump. Mr.. Macmillan made an extend
ed visit to the properties, which are
considered the shippers in the Wonder
district, and declares now that the
stories Of fabulous wealth in that camp
but half tell of it's richness.
Earmarks of Big Mine
According to the Goldfield operator,
the Nevada Wonder has the earmarks
Of bigger mine than the Tonopah
hlulIlS company WHICH Is owned anu
operated by the identical people own
ing the Nevada Wonder. The develop
ment work done on this property has
been performed in most intelligent
manner, and the ore exposed and
blocked out Is sufficient already to JUS
tify the price of $3.50 per share now
asked for Nevada Wonder stock.
The Jack Pot, which but recently
made a new strike at the 200-foot level,
has 1000 sacks of ore ready for ship
ment, all of which averages better than
5000 per ton, while a goodly quantity
carries values above the thousand dol
lar mark. OF these values, Mr.. Mac
milan says: II am sure of thom because
Of samples taken from the ore bins and
sacks while there and from which
had assays made.
"On the Billy the Kid group known
as the Ruby Wonder, the workmer
have opened up an extraordinary rich
body of high grade ore and it was be.
ing extracted and sacked while 1 visited
the property. This company has per
haps one of the best showings in the
new and fabulously rich district, in
dications pointing to it's ore bodies be-
ing as large as the Nevada Wonder ant
Jack Pot"

in the future.
There never was such mining
camp I'm the history of the country"
said Roberts. THE development of rich
fields is scattered all over the state.
Nor Is 1t confined to gold. The Tono-
pah field is extremely rich in silver.
1t may yet develop rivalry to the ia
nous Comstock lode.

show that for the decade from 1900 Ne

"SEWARD'S ICEBERGS"
COST $7,2O0,00O

The United States originally paid to
Russia S7,2OO,OOC for Alaska, which at
the time was derisively called Sewards
icebergs. Imagine the feelings of the
czar when he learned that Uncle Sam
had mined in gold alone in 1906 three
times the purchase price of Alaska.
While the existence of gold in Alaska
was known ever since the territory be-

A rich strike has just been made on
the property of the Atwood Mines COM
pany in the Fairplay district. The ore
runs from $500 to $4,000 per ton in gold
and silver values.
Ore of extremely high grade and
averaging from 8 to 25 per cent copper
has been received at Salt Lake from
the Hazel group Of six claims in Miz-
pah district. The greater part Of the
ore was found near the surface and is
rich in sulphides.
