@. L. B., Albuquerque, N. M.-Our
Wonder representative sends the fol.
lowing about the Nevada Wonder Elk
tension: "The Nevada Wonder Exten-
sion certainly does not look good. The
property of the company consists of
several claims lying in the malapai
range east of the town and has abso-
lutely no bearing upon the Nevada
Wonder or pom the Wonder Extension,
which is controlled by the Nevada
Wonder crowd. The promoter of the
company is a man named Champion
whose headquarters are in Chicago.
There is a story current here Cor was
until the promotion was forgotten) to
the effect that John TAFT, an engineer
now in Goldfeld, offered to make a re.
port upon the ground for the sum Of
5000. Mr.. Champion said, We'll, Nj.
Idlt. VIII ~ Nv a. itPpit.
No. TAFT replied, 1T certainly will
not A tunnel was run into the hill by
the company but so far as j can learn
there were no results
q. B., Cripple Creek.-We can not adj
wise you as to your chances in the res
~taurant business as between Rawhide
and Chafey. Rawhide is the older anl
much larger camp and is well supplied
in the restaurant line, but of course. II
depends entirely upon the man, whether
he can succeed with the competition he
would nave in that camp. Chafey has
a population of about 700 people
camp and town, and has three shipping
mines and a number of prospects, be
side two small mills. Chafey is reached
from Winnemucca or Mill City, both
of which are on the Southern Pacific,
the latter being nine miles from Chafey.
You might investigate the Seven
Troughs district, which is coming along
nicely. There are two towns in the dis
trict, Mamma and Vernon. That
camp has ten shippers, three mills and
1000 people.
T. R., Anaconda, Mont.-The Yerrinc-
ton National Copper company was in
corporated on Oct. 81, 1908, with w. A.
Johnson as president; G.. w. Gallagher,
traa GuPar an1 StrnopiIar
tary. The capitalization is $1,250,000
with shares at a par value of 81 eaen.
The company has $4,000 cash or hand.
has no debts and has 10 claims unpat-
ented. Of this number Is have been
surveyed. On these there is a bonded
Indebtedness of 100000 due Sept. ..
1909. There has been a 40-foot shaft
sunk and a tunnel of 800 feet made.
The property is Is miles from a rail
road. 1t is the intention of the com
pany to construct buildings, track the
tunnel and construct other necessary
requirements for the mine within j
short time. The company has never
made a shipment and not sufficient de-
velopnsent work has been done to meas
ure up ore. The stock was recently
listed on the Salt Lake exchange and is
selling at about II cents.
R. g., Denver, Colo.-Tin ore has been
discovered in commercial quantities in
what is called the Shelborne district,
Nevada, about twelve miles from the
town of Muncy, White Pine county.
Samples of the ore sent to the Mining
and Scientific Press carried a tin con
tent of from IL to 30 per cent. This
discovery created considerable excite
ment in that section, as a tin mine is
almost as valuable as a gold mine. Tin
is one of the rarest metals, no tin in
commercial quantities having been
found in this country except in the
Black Hills, and in Alaska, the United
States importing nearly all it uses from
England.
H. H., Cresswell Lane, ore.-While
the Nevada King property is perhaps in
the Goldfeld district, it is on the
Montezuma side, and therefore thought
of as in the latter district. 1t is about
three miles west of Goldfeld lover the
malapai' as we say, and in the oppo-
site direction from the big mines of the
district. Considerable work has been
done on the ground, and a plant of ma
chinery erected. The property is well
thought OF and is in the neighborhood
of several good prospects.
R. A. M, Oakland, cal.-There never
was a pool in Goldfeld Ethel. The
stock was issued at the time of sale.
Inc company has a good treasury both
In cash and stock, no work having ever
been done on the property. 1t is now
under the control Of the Wingfeld and
nixon Office. When we say there never
was a pool IN the stock, we mean of the
STOCK sold to the public. The promo
ters pooled their stock for a few weeks
at the lime of organization, but it was
long ago released.
