the ore blocked out in reserve IS enor-
nous for the amount of work done. Tho
report of this company shows a total OIL
work lone to date of $500 feet with =
total ore development of ss32,s53. The
estimates are more than ultra con-
sentative since the figures include only
the width of the drifts in ore. The
drifts average 3 feet 6 inches in width
while wherever the ore body has been
cut it has proved to be from 10 to IL
feet wide. The ore is developed from
the outcrop to a depth of 400 feet. The
main working shaft is down to the 500
mark and long drifts have been run IN
the orc from each level excepting the
bottom, from which a crosseut had just
reached the ore when the mine sus-
pended work. The report conservative
as it is known to be shows a glittering
array of figures when taken in ore
locks. The values are shown to be
about evenly dividend between the vel
low and white metals with some levels
showing a decided performance in gold.
The average value of all ore developed
in the mine and on the dumps is stated
to be $25.3s per ton while the writer
has personally known a dozen response
BILE men who would willingly swear,
from personal knowledge, that the real
value is considerably higher. \ most
important part of the report is the de-
cision of the board of directors to erect
a mill to treat the company's ores. 1t
has been patent for some time that the
property is in shape for n reduction
plant and the opportunity for installing
a custom mill to draw large venue
from the company has been long reeog-
nized. The decision of the company's
promoters to give the ground a mill of
its own marks their work as the honest
of a clean board to make each
investment profitable. 1t
has beer announced by the company's
superintendent that actual work upon
the mill will begin within sixty days
and the breaking of ground for the
plant will be the signal for a score If
other companies to start development.

Cunningham is an engineer of decid ii
ability who has been engaged IN IN"
handling of Wonder properties aimos'
from the camp $ inception and IN view
of his careful figures and general grasp
If the water and mill situation 1t is
very probable that the Jack Pot m'ii
will be pounding the rock shortly.
The Weber promotions are gradually
being brought into line and work is
now being prosecuted upon the DickeT,
Goleonda and the Bald Eagle Mining
eompanies' estates. 1t is generally be
lieved that these three fine properties
will from this time on be thoroughly
prospected underground.
Work has also been continued in the
tunnel of the Doctor Mining COMPANY.
The fine ledge which has been opened
on the surface will be reached In \
short time and it is believed that the
eompany's board will decide upon thor
oughly prospecting this great body OF
quartz with a view of finding a eoa-
~tinuation of the ore shoot which shows
upon the surface. The work is being
directed by the present writer who IS
also experimenting the work upon the
Bald Eagle, Diekey and Golconda prop
critics.
vulture in Rich Ore
In the Vulture a little work is being
carried forward in a rich ore shoot.
Several tons of rich ore were shipped
from this property recently and the ore
which is now being extracted is the
lest which has come from the mine up
to this time.
The Flynn-Horgan lease upon the
rich Queens property is showing up g
markably well and the ore is in the
picture class. In a recent letter NJ.
Kirby of Denver, the promoter of the
Queen Mining company assured the
hIllCI ludL L L 10 Ii w e0Nf
proceed to real development work upoa
behalf of the company.
Among other properties which are
undergoing development at this time
arc the June Wonder and the Gold
King. In the former the inclined shaft
is being continued down. The present
depth is approximately 24o feet and the
walls of the ledge are fine slickinsids.
The pay streak has widened consider
ably and shows a fine i~ntermingling o.
gold, silver, copper and lead.
In the Gold King the erosseut tunnel
is being continued to catch the ore
veins opened on the surface.

SILVER ORE IN UBEHEBE

Fred Hessca was exhibiting some
specimens of silver ore from the Ebe-
hete district today that show assay
values of SIG in silver as well as u
good copper content. The ore came

In the Nevadan Renaissance which is
already dawning only those districts
which are built upon solid mineral
worth can expect recognition. In the
attention which Wonder is now reeeiv-
ing from the outside world there is a
strong proof Of popular belief in the
stability of the camp. When the dis
sstrous days of the fall of 1897 fell
upon the state like a hand thrust sud-
denly before the lens of a magic Ian
tern it left a memory, a phantasy of
large wealth; of money easily gained
and lightly expended, of mining com
panies whose stocks were in the hands
of thousands but whose mineral estates
lay without prospecting. Slowly, as the
watchers robbed of the brilliance AMI
charm of the lantern show struggle
back to reality, have those other
watchers of the mining industry of the
state awakened to the realization that
if the regime of the fake stock seller
is largely past there is a better, firmer
and more common sense foundation for
the prosperity of Nevada and larger
reasons for conservative investments
than ever before. The ending of the
drama found Wonder in a very
plight. The camp might be said to be
between the devil and the deep sea or
what in camp matters is the equivalent.
Possessing great bodies of good ore,
which have had but little prospecting,
the district has suffered largely from
the Misrepresentation of constituencies
promoters on the one hand and on the
other from the ultra conservative meth
DDS oe n number of men, who while en-
gagged in the honest endeavor to make
mines in the camp have shown but little
inclination to take the average investor
into their confidence. While the policy
pursued by the latter will ultimately
rebound with wonderful good for the
district has tended to arrest the de-
.vclopment of the place temporarily. As
it is the year just ended has not dealt
badly with the camp. The field has
been cleared of wildcatters and the
erection of at least two mills has been
decided upon.
