NEAR WALKER LAKE

Under the direction of County Com
missioner Charles Worden active devel-
opment will soon be inaugurated on the
property of the Marguerite Mining com
pany, about seven miles cas- of Walker
Lake. The group consists of seven
claims, in which Mr.. Worden is inter
ested with Seattle people.
A shaft has already been sunk 125
feet, encountering considerable high
grade and disclosing 16 feet of ore that
win average from $12 to $40 per ton on
the 60-foot level. The formation is a
lime and granite contact, and Mr..
Worden believes they will develop a
mine there.

NEVADA HILLS CROWD IN PI0CHE

Secretary Hodson. "When this work
is finished we lshall fully equip the
ground with substantial buildings and
machinery designed to operate on an
extensive scale and at any depth. We
have the extension of the Prince Con-
solidated lodges in a northerly diree-
ton for 5000 feet, and the main operat-
ing. shaft will be located at a point
best suited to the opening and develop
ment of these veins. The Prince is TOE
big a mine to play out before reaching
our property, and, as a matter OF fact,
it has proven its ore to a point within
$50 feet of our lines already. The bulk
of our ground lies between the Prince
! Consolidated end the Golden Prince.
The chief men in the organization OF
this company are all wealthy operators
of ripe experience. and their inves--
ments in the Phoebe camp are not con-
fined to this splendid property. They
have bonds and leases on other we'll
known properties in one or more Of the
districts which surround the old bo-
nauza camp, so it is safe to say thai
other enterprises will be launched by
them during the next year or two.

MINES OF WONDER SHOW
ENCOURAGING CONDITION

The year 1908 has left behind facts
that are not only significant but most
encouraging to those who have mining
and business interests in the great gold
and silver camp of Wonder, says the
Mining News.
The company which has followed out
tine most complete plans of develop
ment and which has done most to prove
its property is the Nevada Wonder Min
ing company. During the year 1908 the
work done on the two, three and four
hundred-foot levels respectively not
only s~ubstantiated the early predictions
and expert Judgment of the manage
ment, but demonstrated the great ore
body to such an extent that the engi-
neers could decide with exactness the
capacity of the mill necessary to handle
the ore from these properties. Not only
mas the company proven the extent OF
Us ore body, but has made exhaustive
tests on the best methods of ore treat
ment. The mill, when installed, will be
equipped with the latest appliances for
the most economical treatment with the
highest percentage of extraction of
values.
The Bald Eagle and Diekey ", two
! ropcrties belonging to the Manning in
t~erests, have proven to be of sufficient
merit to warrant Mr.. Manning to ac-
wise his associates to raise money and
( .oceed with their development at once.
Jack Pot Proves UP
The Jack Pot company has been 4
sti,nulator of faith b. the consolidation
Of the Jack Pot, HeyG..gs, National and
Globe into one company, kIexn as the
Jackpot Consolidated. Although~sast4

much Of anything was demonstrated,
Goldfeld was known. Its name was
heard in Wall street and in State street.

came to produce more than was the or
binary wont of new districts, the ee-
ment became thicker and more cohesive.
Goldneld was known, and the more it
was known, the more money there was
forthcoming to demonstrate either its
possibilities or their lack. Fortunately,
the possibilities were brought forth, AMI
so, in reading the news Of the day the

two years, and the third for n year.
The Cole-Ryan people probably will
have representatives in the first two
classes, leaving the one year class to be

the Giroux Mining company. In this
shifting it will become necessary ulti-
mately for nine Giroux directors to re-

For the purpose of incrcasing the

title of the camp attracts, and we look
to see "what is new now"
But up in Idaho, in Washington, Or
in some other place, there are new
camps the world never hears of, and
never learning of them or failing to see
their mention frequently, nome looks
for what they are achieving. We know
certain patent medicines for their ad-
vertising, and even though We may
lack data as to their merit, their names
still "stick." Few camps have the
hackers and pushers we find in Coll
field or in Cobalt. Few districts persist
in making themselves known. Hence,
the strike in the isolated camp loses
favor, because its memory is fieeting.
Perhaps we have, in some degree, re-
piled to the question, and if some one
has a better answer, let us have it.

prove the merits of these holdings. The
results of Investigations have been Of
sufficient encouragement to warrant one
OF the principal stockholders to state
that a mill will be installed as soon as
sufficient ore is blocked out. At present
the company is exploiting the numerous
veins to determine the best location for
the permanent shaft which it is pro-
posed to sink on the estate.
The Queen Wender Mining company
has been particularly instrumental in
proving the merits of the district.
Every mining engineer who has ex-
amined the remarkable Queen lodges
has predicted a most fattering future
for the property. The unusual assay of
$51.2O per ton of average samples taken
along $500 feet of an eight-foot ledge
by an eminent mining engineer of Colo
RADIO Springs, speaks for itself.
Open New Ledge
Horgan and Flynn have thus far
proven that the great ledge is not the
only valuable vein on the property.
They have opened up a smaller ledge
parallel to the large one, which carries
shipping values. Thus far the leasers
have betrayed expenses of sinking their
shaft from the ore extracted.
Upon doing the annual work on Queen
No. 9 a new vein was opened up to the
north of the main ledge and paralleling
it, which carries values of 500. Mr..
Horgan has traced it throughout the
length of the Queen group. This new
discovery adds materially to an already
valuable estate.
The legal tangles of the vulture and
nactor companies are nearly adlnssr
