WONDER DISTRICT NOW
TN THE LIMELIGHT

at a depth of zoo feet in their shaft
The same ore body trends through the
Joe Wonder ground into the Dami'
group, where good values have beer
obtained. This vein has already beer
opened up for a width of 80 feet. Fur
Their west is the BILLY the Kid" group
where they are sacking 5000 ore. The
same is true of the Red Top and Miz'
pah groups.
To further enlighten those interested
in the new Wonder district. it might
be well to state that to date. three sepa-
rate vein systems have been uncovered
forming a large letter a." One system
of veins trends from the Alice group OF
the east, through the Castle Rock. Stray
Horse. vulture. Jack Pot, Queen, Colo
King and into the Spider and Wasp
The second system trends from the
famous Nevada Wonder northeasterly
through the Hidden Treasure. NORTH
Star, Gold Coin, Jumbo and Moss groups
forming a junction with Elm system No
1 in the Spider and Wasp group. Vein
system No. 8 trends from the Nevada
Wonder, which is the point of junction
westerly through the June Wonder, Joe
Wonder. Damit. Billy the Kid, Red TOT
and Mizpah groups.
Rich ore bodies have been uncovered
on nearly every property in this huge
letter 'Z.' Cross assures intercept the
larger veins at various places, demon
strating that Wonder is a veritable net
work of rich lodges. This has been
demonstrated on the Nevada Wonder
and Joe Wonder. both of which have
junctures between the easterly and
westerly and northerly and southerly
veins.
Another correspondent of the News
writes:
The marvels of the Wonder district
will never cease. Now comes the report
of another big strike seventeen miles
from the town of Wonder on the Blue
Bell property. Every big operator has
a man on the ground and when the
report reached Wonder. a stampede vas
made towards the Blue Bell. Diamond
field Jack Davis. one of the live opera
tors of the state, had sent his best sad
die horse into the district several weeks
before and so his representative was
able to outdistanee the rest. Twelve OF
the best surroundings near the strikes
were located. The m~ineralized area
now covers an extent of 25 miles. being
almost twice as large as any other dis
trict in the state.
The stages cannot carry the passen-
gers going into the district and SO
much building is going on thai skilled
labor is held at a premium. Wonder is
rapidly changing its appearance from a
tented lamp into a modern mining
town.
All the big brokerage firms have their
branch offices there and in a short time
Wonder will look like another Goldield,
A peculiar feature about the Wonder
flotations is the fact that all classes
in the district are buying as much stock
as they car carry.
The mineralized zone of the district
is dissimilar to any other mineral zone
in the state because of the fact that
the ore literally comes up to meet YOU
On almost all the big properties two
dollars have been taken out in develop
ment work for every one expended. The
ore occurs in large dykes of rhyolite
in which the planes of fracture silicih-
cation have developed In almost pure
quartz. AS the foot wall is left the
silicincation lessons until eventually
the vein is lost in the unaltered rhyolite,
