WONDER POSSESSES
BRIGHT PROSPECTS

According TO latest reports, the We
vada Wonder company hopes to get
work on its projected mill under way
this winter, says the Wonder Mining
News. j.. B. Daniel. general manager,
is said to have made a statement to
that effect. Ii is also. said on. good
authority that the company is now
figuring on a mill with a capacity of
one hundred tons,. and that the mill
will probably have this, size. The oper-
alton Of such a mill, it is estimated,
will require in the mine and the plant
a force of men approximating two hun
dred in number. The. construction work
has been postponed to await expert.
ments with Nevada Wonder ore in the
improved c~blorination process mill in
Goldfeld, which is owned by the same
group of capitalists who control the
Nevada Wonder. The company desires
to install such a mill here, provided the
process proves to be practicable for
Nevada Wonder ores. The experiments
with these ores in the Goldfeld mill
have convinced the company, it is said,
that the process is well adapted to
Them.
The work in the mine is nov being
concentrated upon the drift at the 300
foot level, where a wide pay shoot has
been developed.
Properties to Northward
A group of claims about twenty miles
northeast of Wonder, and about eight
miles from the Alpine ranch, are to re-
ceive development by N. A. Getchell
and associates, who have obtained from
Frank Byers of Fallon and the other
owners a bond and lease on the whole
property. Mr.. Getchell, who was in
Wonder this week on his way to Raw
hide after an inspection of the ground,
which is known as the Contract group,
made careful samplings of the crop
pings,. and obtained assays ranging
from about $14 to $57..
Jack Pot
High grade ore is being taken
steadily from the one hundred and two
hundred-foot levels on the Jack Pot,
and nearly enough ore for a carload
shipment is now ready. No word has
been received here as to the meeting or
directors which was scheduled for
August II in San Francisco, and which
was Intended to complete the consolida-
tion of the Jack Pot, Globe, National
and Hercules properties. 1t is believed
that this meeting may have been post
poned because of the continued absence
in Alaska of Fred Mcmillan, the com
pany's consulting engineer.
Golden nawns
1t is reported that j. j. Moss, who is
interested in a number of the prominent
properties of this district, will be in
Wonder in a few days to get work
under way again on the Golden Dawn
group. The property already has a tun-
mel driven about 700 feet into the hill
and a drift of some distance on the
ledge. 1t is believed that but little
more work viii be required to cut the
pay shoot. which crops with big values
on the surface. The Gotlen DawL CON
pany is a strong one.

A South Prairie woman writing to
the Independent, says that she has
been asked to write an article refuting
certain things that neighboring cor
respondent has written in the Inde-
pendent. She says that some of the
people think that the items appearing
in the Stringtown and Freedom news
are derogatory to her community and
thru them the actions Of certain indi-
viduals are unjustly criticized. '.For in

of Paul Lang for blind pigging in
Stringtown without any reference or

PRIVATE FRANCHISE KNOCKED
OUT
Council Decides That It is Better for
4 the City to Control its Own Water
Works System-WiIi Locate Pump
ING Plant West Of City.

The city council met Monday night
and the much talked Of water works
question was taken up.
Mr.. Craig who proposed to secure a
private franchise in this city, did not
show up, much to the surprise OF
everyone. The city council turned
down the ordinances Of Mr.. Craig and
James Kennedy of Fargo asking for
q franchise, and also rejected all bids
for the laying of the mains.
City Attorney Gammons gave his
opinion that it is illegal to bond the
city tor the purpose of erecting a
water tower and installing pumping
plant, which must be constructed by
money paid in as a general tax. On
this account the bids were all reject
ed, and new bids will be entertained.
The council have decided that the
lots north Of the court house, which
the city bought recently for the
pumping station, will not do, as too
much Of the city's impurities pass in
the river past this place, but favor
a location west of the city where the
wafer will be in better condition.
A committee has been appointed to
secure such q location The change
will cost the city from SIS, 900 to $685.
900, but since the city is laying the
foundation for a good system, there
will be no objection to this.
The city has already reached her
debt limit. but the amount needed for
the water tower, about $1,000, can be
raised by special assessment.
