GETTING OUT The
ORE AT WONDER
Golden Kings.

I
Golden Kings.
Superintendent Christy intends to
start development work on the prop
erty of this company on Monday.
About twelve men will DE put to
work. A shaft will be sunk, build
ings erected, and everything else
that can be done to make a mine as
rapidly as men and money can be
made to do the work.
War Eagle.
On the Wonder War Eagle the
management is busy at present doing
assessment work. 1t is the policy
of this company to not merely do
perfunctory assessment work, but
they are trying to intelligently use
the money it costs to hold their
claims, and develop the mine, as
the law providing for assessment
work intended.
Rich Ore in the Bald Eagle.
Some very rich ore vas uncovered
this week in the workings of the Bald
Eagle group, assays showing values
to the amount of $5S5, $74 of which
is in gold, having been obtained.
While the deposit of this very rich
rock is not very large, the value
shown is so high that Superinten-
dent Palmer is more than satisfied.
Black Rock.
Nothing Of Importance has trans
pired at the Black Rock this week.
Work is proceeding on the tunnel,
but until the contract shall have been
completed no special developments
are expected. Supt. Holmes has gone
to Tonopah, and will probably take
in some of the sights and scenes of
the metropolis before he returns to
Wonder.
Lost Chord.
At the Lost Chord they are still
sinking on the winze from the tun-
mel, and are now down 80 feet, and
still in the ore body. The prospects
are very favorable. Only one wall
of the ledge is exposed, as the ledge
is wider than the winze, and they
are following the hanging wall. No
new developments are expected un-
til Mr.. Kjelsberg, the principal own
err, who is enjoying himself in Cali
fornia, returns, which is is expected
will be some time next week.
Sunshine Wonder.
AT the Sunshine Wonder they are
running a tunnel on the ledge 1t
is the intention as soon as Supt. Ian
sing returns from Berkeley, where
he has gone to establish his family,
and place his children in school, to
put on two or three shifts of men.
AS the work progresses in the tun-
mel, the ore body is steadily widen
ing and Mr.. Lansing is very much
encouraged in the outlook. 1t is also
planned to prospect the hill with q
diamond drill as soon as the ma
chinery arrives.
Hidden Treasure.
At the Hidden Treasure develop
ment work is proceeding with all the
speed possible with the facilities at
hand. The shaft is now down Is
feet, and it expected that the ledge
will be encountered at a depth OF
$50 feet. A new hoist is on the
way, and as soon as it arrives it will
be put up and the work will be push
ed forward with all the energy OF
which the superintendent is possess
ed. Three shifts of four men each
will be put on, and the blasting and
hosting of rock will not be inter.
rupted night nor day until a mine
shall have been made of the prop
erty.

At the Christmas Wonder they arc
still working on the shaft. At Q
depth of sixty feet the ledge was
cut, and the shaft has passed
