RICHES OF WILD HORSE.
Much Development Work Going on
and Many Strikes Are Made.
Especial Correspondence

Mazuma, New. April Pa visit to
Wild Horse canyon firmly convinces
one that the richness of the Seven
TrOughs district is by no means con-
fined to the Seven Troughs canyon,
and that some of the best mines are as
yet unknown. Wherever, in the entire
length of the canyon, a pick has been
stuck in the ground the prospector has
| been rewarded for his efforts and goad-
ed on to fresh exertions.
Beginning at the north end of the
canyon is the Hawkeye Mining COM
pany, which has been carrying on eX-
tensive workings since last fall. Man
ager Wiley states that the results of
his efforts so far have been so crafty
! ing to his California hackers that al
ready sufficient money has been placed
! in the treasury of the company to in
sure exhaustive development. Senator
Cartwright of Fresno recently paid a
visit to the district and was so high
| ly pleased with this property that he
| is endeaVoring now to procure adjacent
territory. The shaft on the Hawkeye
ground is down over 100 feet on the
vein which was opened on the surface,
and it is the intention of the company
| to continue the shaft to the 100-foot
| level Milling ore has been encounter
| ed practically the entire depth of the
shaft and the completion Of the mills
! is being awaited with much interest by
! the company.
The next work of Importance in the
canyon is that of the North Pole COM
pany. Mr.. Bogart. the manager of the
company, has sunk a working shaft to
a depth of 165 feet. where water was
encountered to such an extent as to
Inecessitate the discOntinuance of sink
] sv,-- IL.
| the meantime the work of cross-cutting
has been started. Sulphides appeared
comparatively near the surface and
! these have increased in value with the
| depth. A piece of rock picked at ran
| dom from the dump, when roasted,
panned string of gold such as here
| tOfOre has been expected only In the
| Mazuma hills or Fairview.
! Adjoining the North Pole on the south
! is Tho B. & j. group, owned by Bogart
& McGivney. On this property a tun-
mel has been run 140 feet and at this
writing a vein has just been cut in the
| face of the tunnel that varies in width
! from three to six feet and pans free
| gold across its entire width. Joining
this property and on the same vein is
the Wild Bull, owned by SmOOt &
Harschbarger. The strike on this prop
/ erty made recently was one of the SEN
satiOns of the camp. A vein was open
! ed on the surface that assayed several
thousands of dollars per ton. A shaft
| has been sunk to a depth of eighty
/ feet on the vein and the sensational
( values have not decreased. On ac-
count of water the shaft will not be
continued until a pump is placed on
| the ground.
| The latest strike in the canyon has
| just been made by Barrett e Barry
on their property, the Golden Horse
shoe This claim adjoins the Wild Bull
on the east, the Tomboy on the west,
and is directly in the course of the
Badger vein. Considerable trenchine
has been done on the ground and al
almost any place where the ledge has
been uncovered free gold specimens can
be found
Messrs. Barrett & Barry have start
ed tunnel and also a shaft on the
ground and will lose no time In devel-
oping their property.
| Taken ali in all, the properties in
the canyon are showing up wonderful
~, and as this fact is becoming known
applications for leases are being re-
ceived daily by the owners of proper
| ties.
