CYANIDE SOLUTION TO BE DIS

OVER THE SAND.

The Nevada Wonder keeps on
pursuing its monotonous way, send
ing up plenty of ore to keep the
mill working steadily and crushing
from IS to so tons a day.
The raise from the 3O0-foo, level
where the air has given some trou-
Bile to the 2OO-foot level, has
been completed and a good current
OF fresh air now blows gently
through the workings above that
level
Exploration of the ore bodies on
all the levels continues, and the
showings are most satisfactory
Since Mr. Burgess assumed the
management OF the mine no work
has been done on the 500-foot level
of the mine, the upper levels fur
nishing plenty of ore and plenty of
opportunity for development work
In accordance with his policy of
keeping his exploration work ahead
of the ore consumption as far as
practical, the station at the 500
foot level is being enlarged and
put i'll shape, and as soon as ma
chimes can be spared from the levels
above, the development will be
pushed forward. The former man
agement ran a long crosscut and
drift at this level and it was said
that a big ledge of milling ore had
been opened up. These workings
are now to be opened up and got
ten in shape for taking out the
ore as it is needed, and explora-
ton continued.
The tailings from the mill are
carried down the gulch and out on
the fiat. The solid matter has set
tied in the little channel, forming
nicely cemented water way, and
the material has been carried fur
ther and further into the valley.
The water as it leaves the mill
carries little cyanide in solution,
and as it evaporates it becomes
stronger Forming in pools out in
the valley, live stock have been
drinking it, with the result that
eight head of cattle and about a
hundred sheep have fallen victims
