The PAST WEEKS
WORK AT WONDER

Twelve thousand feet of timber
has arrived, and most of this will be
used for the vertical shaft, which
will be timbered all the way down.
The blacksmith shop, bunk-houses
and other buildings have been COM
pleted. The shaft, now down about
80 feet, was started this week on the
Wasp claim. 1t is intended to make
this shaft a model of its kind, and,
from various levels to crosscut the
big lodges which have been proved on
some of the leases to carry remark
xble values.
Quartzitc.
A shaft. has been started on the
ledge and fair assays are being OBJ
tanned. Surface prospecting is be-
ing continued. The work is in charge
of j. H. Mccoy of Colorado.
Ruby.
A force is engaged in trimming
hoist. This shaft is now down SIS
feet on the ledge, and the rock at
the bottom looks better than ever
1t runs over 500 across three feet.
Castle Rock.
Superintendent Seager is down 20
feet with the shaft, which is just
through the wash and on a ledge
from which good assays are being
obtained.
Stray Horse.
A considerable force is working
on the surface and in the shaft tun-
mel, which is being driven on the
ledge with gratifying results.
Truett Wonder.
The shaft is down 40 feet on this
property, known as the SHEPPARD
Light group, and much surface work
is still being done by a force of
eight men under the direction of
George S.. Pelton. Rock from sew
eral lodges shows excellent values.
Doctor.
Two shifts are at work and the
tunnel is in about 100 feet. 1t is the
expectation that the ledge, which
showed good values IN the surface,
will be cut in a few days.
Vulture.
The force of a dozen men is en-
gagged in prosecuting from the tun-
mel, which is in 600 feet, and is
working from the top to get the pitch
of the ledge. Good ore is being
taken both from the top and the
tunnel.
Dicky V.
The shaft is down so feet. 1t is
the intention to crosscut at the 100
foot level, If the ledge is not cut
before that depth is reached.
GOIconda.
The work on this ground is still
limited to surface prospecting and
trenching.
Wonder View.
Two shifts are engaged in driving
a tunnel, in which some rich string
ers have been cut. A shaft was
started some time ago and in it a
ledge was cut, but the work on the
shaft was abandoned on account OF
the difficulty in getting timber.
Marie.
Two men are sinking a shaft which
is down 80 feet on the ledge, which
is showing quartz of promising APP
~pearance, although the assays are no
high as yet.
Hidden Treasure.
A force of men under Murra!
Scott are sinking a shaft and the in
tention is to erosscut at the so ant
1OO-foot levels. Big assays were OBJ
tanned about two weeks ago from The
ledge, which was uncovered in al
open cut.
Surface prospecting is still in pro
gress on this ground.

acres adjoining the Shephard-Ligh
and Desert Wonder groups an
which is owned by the D'Arcys.
Gro Wonder.

and have also started a shaft. TIL
surface assays are showing excellen
values, with a preponderance O
gold.
Wonder Grandad.
Several men are engaged on tn
surface, from which assays of 81
have been obtained. The ledge is
strong one and is believed to be tn
