the Nevada Wonder, the only piece
of mining ground in the district which
has been given sufficient development
to show it's value, and which has dem
onstrated it's permanently sufficiently
to warrant the building of a small mill,
is not the only piece of valuable min
ing ground in the district, but which
is owned by a company which was
strong enough to weather the storm,
and is the first to resume work.
1t is the general opinion that the
work of laying the pipe and building
the mill will be rushed to completion,
and that ere the winter sets in there
will be great activity in the district.
1t is known hat the Nevada Wonder
has plenty of ore blocked out and on
the dump to keep the mill running
steadily for many years, and that, not
w~ithstanding the statement of one of
the company's officers that it is a big
low grade proposition, there is a large
body of high grade in the upper levels
which assays into the hundreds of dol

BUCKEYE PLACER MINES
ARE PROVING PROFITABLE

Gardnerville, New, June Within
n few miles of Gardnerville and in
what is known as the Buckeye mining
district. a little crew of men headed
bv Dick and Jack Rayeraft are placer
mining with great success. They have
been doing the same thing every spring
for wears, the amount of work wholly
depending on the flow of water from
the mountain. Last winter the snow
fall was unusually heavy and conse-
q~uently the sluicing season at Buckeye
this spring mas been of a favorable dur
alton. The c!eanups nave been better
than ever before, according to reports
received from the placer digglngs.
1t will be remembered that this dis
trict at one time attracted the famous
Lane, and had it not been for unsur
mountable stumbling blocks placed be
| fore him, the district would have beer
thoroughly developed years ago. As II
was thousands of dollars were spent
acquiring water supply IN Alpine
county, 80 miles distant.
If an abundant water supply was L
be had without the need of piping it q
miles or more, Buckeye today would b
the most thriving placer district in Ne
vada.

HEAVY SHOWS IN SlERRAS
DISAPPEARING RAPIDLY

In the Sierra the snow has disap-
peared below an elevation of $500 feet
even in the timber and other sheltered
places. At an elevation of 5000 feet,
depths of about 60 inches OF snow still
remain in the forested areas of the
northern slopes. From 5000 feet to
10000 feet, snow drifts were found to
measure from 80 feet in depth, with
an extreme depth of 200 feet measured
on the summit of Mt. Tallac in the
Lake Tahoe drainage basin. How
ever, during the early part of June.
the snow was melting rapidly even in
the timber at an elevation of 9O0O feet.
The level of Lake Tahoe is higher
now that it was at any time last sea
son The rise during the past two
weeks was 10 inches.
On the high Sierra the snowfall is
SO plentiful that there will be a sur
plus of water during the entire season
Notwithstanding the dry weather con
ditions of the past three months. The
season has been backward on ac
count of cool weather, and the sudden
change to warm at the close of May
brought high water in all of the feed
ing streams.
In the higher mountains OF the Hum
boldt river basin there is plenty of
snow for the seasons water supply.
There is not a great deal Of snow left
in the Reese river basin, and a con-
tinuation of the present dry weather
may cause a shortage of water in that
locality.

! been worked in the manner of d
quarry. They are not nearly ex-
hausted, their full extent is not yet
known, they will furnish ore for many
years to come; but the uniform grade
of the ore was considerably lower
than that of the ore opened in the
shaft, and so now the bulk of the ore
treated is that extracted from the
body in the shaft.
This working shaft is now $50 feet
deep, sunk in a true assure vein IN
diorite. This shaft has developed
virtually another mine for the Keane
Wonder, and has much more than
doubled the value of the estate. The
ore carries values varying from $40
to $50 to the ton, and is much more
desirable because of it's greater value.
The 25-h. p. hoist placed at this point
makes the extraction of ore now easy
and will hasten the sinking of the
shaft. which will be continued to the
depth of Ais feet. This will reach a
level with the upper terminal of the
tramway, and enable underhand stop
ing for four hundred feet upward, and
at the same time open up an immense
body of ore. At 100 feet deep a sta
ton has been cut and drifts started
from the shaft in the vein. The shaft
and drifts are all in ore and it is not
yet known just how wide the ore body
is. While this ore is very much the
same as that found in the lenses, it
carries "a greater per cent of sulphides
and more gold. 1t is evident that the
greatness of the Keane Wonder prop
erty is scarcely known.

INLAY WILL BE MODEL
TOWN FOR RAILWAY MEN

Reno. June 29.-The transferring Of
freight district headquarters from Win
nemucca to Inlay, on the Salt Lake d.
vision, has been deferred until July /,
when it is hoped that everything will
lie in readiness for the change.
In the meantime work of every de-
seription is being pushed forward at
Inlay, and the grounds around about
the handsome passenger depot and
new residences for railroad employees
are being beautifed with lawns, floral
decorations and the like. Several gen
eral stores and business houses are be-
ing erected at the new freight district
headquarters, and a library, church edi-
fee, schoolhouse and improvements of
that nature will follow during the
summer months.
Like Montello, Inlay will be a .'dry
town. in the broadcast sense of tina
term. and while billiard rooms ant
+, pool resorts will be allowed for thu
entertainment of employees running il
and out and stationed at Inlay, n,
'.wet goods of a stimulating or ex
hilarating character will be allowed o
tolerated ON company ground, whicl
embodies an area several miles in ex
tent.
This is due largely to the expressed
wishes of railroad employees as well a.
to the objections raised to saloons by
railroad officials from Superintendent
Manson down.

Speaking of the district in general.
Mr.. Edmunds stated that the condi-
lions were most favorable for the
opening up of other big properties. The
mineral belt is traceable for several
miles both north and south. Two miles
north of Charleston hill Cundy and
Brown are driving a tunnel on a vein
which in the opinion of Mr.. Edmunds
is the same as that which is producing
the sensational high grade in the Stall
lease. The same vein system is also
traceable to the southwark for over \
mile, with chances amounting almost to
a certainty hat other honanzas will be
opened up.
Mr. 'rospN, VINO Is an old-tlme min
ing man of Phoebe, was also greatly
impressed with what he saw at Ma

showing he had ever seen.
Mr.. Critchfeld went to National for
the purpose of arranging for the de-

in which he is interested. Those claims,

level within a few days. When sink
ing from the surface begins, the work
will be conducted at the three points
simultaneously, and it is calculated
that the shaft will be completed in
about six months. The size of the
shaft will be 12x12 feet, and will have
four compartments for hosting ore
