DISTRICT AFTER
ELECTRICITY AND WATER

At Wonder there is much speculation
as to. who is going to develop the
power. 1t is known that the Nevada
Wonder and Jack Pot Consolidated
companies have placed bids, and now
a Boston syndicate is looking into the
proposition, and, it is understood, has
put in a bid for the power. Operators
in the Wonder and Fairview districts
are determined to secure the water site,
however, and thus solve the heretofore
perplexing power proposition.
The water proposition at Wonder,
heretofore standing in the way of mill
construction and operations, has like
wise at last been overcome, as now the
Nevada Wonder has secured control Of
the waters of Horse creek, just across
the valley, where ample water for mill
ing operations on a large scale can be
developed, if the natural flow is not
dependable enough. At Wonder there
is a feeling that this old district is &C.
ing to come into it's own during the
next year, and that the construction Of
mills to handle company and custom
ore will mean widespread activity
throughout the district.

BONNIE CLARE DISTRICT
SCENE OF MUCH ACTIVITY

above the cost of some equipment not
of the latest and best, when all the
equipment is purchased of n con-
structing firm.
Is a Deep Mining District.
While some high grade has been
found in the Bonnie Clare district, it
is not a high grade district at shallow
depths. In the operations in that dis
trict down to 800 feet in depth, the
ore has been free milling, and held in
the quartz, which shows sulphide
stains. In some of the properties, i'm
mensely rich pockets of ore have been
opened in the upper levels, in this char
acter of ore. But the deeper workings
in the Bonnie clare property have
shown that the ore changes to %sulphides
at depth, and that they are increasing
in average richness. So the contention
of all the operators in the district hat
the ore bodies on the upper levels have
received their enrichment from below
seems to have good ground. Down to
300 feet in depth the ore bodies are
shattered, and there are signs OF IN
tense teaching. The new mill, handling
custom ores, win provide means for
many operators to attain depth, and
with depth it is expected that the dis
trict will come to the front as one OF
the big producing districts Of the state.
A number Of the 7. & T. and the
L. v. & T. railway officials have In
vested some considerable money in the
district-this after thorough investiga'
tion by their engineers. The Clarka
are among those interested. The Bon
ME Clare company has started q gen
eral store near its mine, several fami'
lies have moved there during the past
month, and the camp wears a general
air Of prosperity.

has been demonstrated by repeated
tests and mill runs. The Austin Mar.
haitian company, which is installing the
system, will put in a sampler and enter
the market for the purchase of all ores
produced in this section of the conn
try. AS the demand requires it, the
mill will be enlarged indefinitely as the
company has ample capital to warrant
extensive preparations for handling
custom ores.
This company is breaking a good
grade of milling ore both in the Frost
shaft on the Panamint vein and in the
Jack Pot mine.
The past week chronicles the opening
up of high grade ore at depth on the
Peerless lease on Midas Flat, two miles
northwest of the town of Austin. This

Oscar J. Lee is just back from his
Gold-in-Sight property of seven claims
in the Bonnie Glare district, where he
has a force of men doing development
work.
..The Gold Mountain Bonnie Ciare)

capacity of something over 100 tons per

company, but from the surrounding
properties in progress of develop

Mr.. Lee stated that the milling com
pany is planning to get one OF two pig
traction engines, and as soon as the
mill is ready for operation, to keep a
traction line busy hauling ore to the
mill. There are several properties In
that vicinity that have a large guam

FOL DFJELD ANNEX SHAFT
DOWN TO $50 FIT. LEVEL

The work of sinking the shaft on the Goldfeld Annex
lease ON the Poleverde claim of the Jumbo Extension is being
pursued in cleancut fashion with about three feet a day as the
gain. The shaft is now down nearly $50 feet and not until a
thousand feet depth has been attained will the management
have carried out its present plan. In fact, as it is now figured,
the Mohawk-Red Top vein will not be encountered above a
depth Of 900 feet.
1t is the Lucky Boy shoot Of that vein that the manage
ment of this well financed lease expects to strike and the
strongest possible confidence in the result is held by =. I. Wat
son, in charge of the operations, and the Philadelphians, who
are financing the project Of sinking the 1OOOfoot shaft, which
by the way, is pronounced to be one of the cleanest cut in the
Goldfeld mining district.
When the Goldfeld Annex Mining company, on June 10
last. resumed the work of sinking, the shaft was down 24l feet
and, since that time or in approximately five months and a
half. over 400 feet additional have been opened uD and not a
station cut. The vein is looked for at depth, and 10 that end all
efforts are being directed. The result of the work now being
pressed so strongly will have an important bearing on the
future of mining operations in this district. The lease on the
ground runs for almost two years hence, and II the VEN is en-
countered, as is so confidently expected, the company Will nave
a considerable period Of time within which to reap the beneht
of it's extraordinary efforts.

will increase the capacity Of the mil
by about 300 tons per day, it is claim
ed, thus giving the mill a total capacity
of about 900 tons per day, with the
full complement of stamps in operation
The new equipment consists Of sir
6-foot Chilean mills, 26 Deister concen
trating tables, four s-foot Callow
cones, two slime agitators and a pump,
couple of elevators and other minor
apparatus. The foundations for the ma
chinery are in place, and til is being
installed as fast as it arrives. The
Chilean mills have not arrived as yet.
The stamp battery of the mill will
not be increased in size, but much more
rock will be run through it. BY crush.
ing to a coarser mesh the capacity Of
the stamps may easily be increased 33
per cent, and back of the stamps the
Chilean mills will grind the product Of
the stamps as fine as is desired, and
with the added advantage Of affording
a sharper product that afforded by the
stamps, and consequently less shines,
and affording a higher saving.
The Chilean mills are to be installed
on the second floor of the big mill, AMI
below the stamps, being fed by gravity,
three at the extreme north and three
at the south end, to maintain the bal
ance of the plant. The Callow
will be between stamps and Chileans.
The Deister tables will be on the same
floor, below the Chilean mills. The
from the tube mills will be
carried back to the Callow classiiers,
the oversize here returning to the
Chileans.
The increase in equipment does not
seem at first glance to he adequate for
the increase in tonnage that the mill
will handle, but the explanation is in
the fact that the stamps will be re-
lieved of much Of their present duty,
which will be taken up by the Chilean
grinding mills, and in the fact that the
concentrating and cyanide equipment
was already in advance of present
Some changes meaning increase
of capacity and more equable distribu-
ton of duty are also being made in the
amalgamation processes of the big

of this vein is had not been determined
late yesterday afternoon; but the top,
sides, bottom and face showed ore of
a considerable better grade than that
developed in the assure just passed,
much to the qualification of officials
of the company. The ore in the bed
is very similar in character to that
found in the assure, being intermixed
with chlorides, galena and manganese,
associated with very satisfactory values

when he made an inspection of the
properties of the above named cor
porations. He also visited the Golden
Prince, adjacent to the Phoebe King,
and was greatly interested in the re-
cent developments there, which he de-
clares to be of immense Importance to
that side Of the camp.
The porphyry dixie opened in the lat
ter also cuts cross Phoebe King ter
ritory and will. be reached through the
east drift from the shaft. While the
company has been driving both east
and west, Mr.. Kirby, after having seen
the result Of exploitation in the Golden
Prince, has directed Superintendent
Bowen to pay particular attention to
the east and push the avenue through
to the porphyry dixie with as much
rapidity as possible. The dixie is ex-
posed up the hill from the shaft and in
running an open cut there some good
ore was found at the grass roots. The
Pioche King shaft is 800 feet deep;
but the crosscut to the east should
catch the dixie fully 800 feet beneath
the surface; when it is about as GER
tain as the sun shines that something
highly gratifying to shareholders will
be disclosed.
Mr.. Kirby expressed himself as be-
ing greatly pleased with the result OF
late development at the Point mine
Of the Phoebe Metals Mining company
where superintendent Lennon is ex-
seuting some splendid work. Mr.. Kirby
e0neurred in the suggestion Of MIR. Lem

a real live card. Many Of the mines of
the district are long since past the pros
pect stage. This next year they will
give such a good account of themselves
that there can no longer be any doubt
in the minds of even the most sceptical
as to the ~permanency of the ore deposits
the district in general, says the Mug
get.
One Of the objects of Mr.. Cushman's
visit to Round Mountain was to adjust
matters concerning the management Of
several Of the leases now operating on
Blue Jacket acreage. Joe johnson has
bought the interest Of the Gallagher
brothers and that lease is now owned
equally by w. r. Gibson, Joe johnson
and M. J.. McVeigh. They are still TAX
ing out ore and expect to have another
mill run ready by Christmas time.
The Stofelt- Cook Morgan lease has
struck another likely looking stringer
several feet from their main workings
and the boys are sinking on It. THIS
Blue Jacket lease has been a producer
from the grass roots and they also will
have another run Of ore ready for the
custom mill within a very short time.
J. A. Buchanan and H. Chism have
been sinking steadily on their ledge and
are able to get paintings showing mod
crate values in the ore. Also on the
southern end Of the leasehold Mr.. Buch-
AMMAN is doing a lot of trenching IN the
expectation Of picking up the Sassy Sal
ledge, which is known to carry very
good values.
McGhan Lease Producing.
Another Of the Blue Jacket leases to
have a mill run ready soon will be the
McGhan lease. They are taking out a
fair grade of mill ore now and have
been for some time. In fact they have
never been without their values on that
lease. Some times they have had "stiek-
pin stuff and sometimes it has not
been SO good. But always they have
been in the money to some extent In.
terested in the lease are NJ E. Nc
Chan, Tom Cahin and Duke Golf. AT
