JOINS WINGFIElD
IN BUCKHORN PROPERTY
Claimed That Scientific Develop
ment Has Demonstrated This
To Be Coming Camp
OF West

Salt Lake Telegram: That the Buck
horn mining ground in Eureka County
bids fair to equal some Of the largest
producers of the West was evinced some
time ago when the United States Smelt-
ing Company proffered $1,000. 900 for
the estate. This was refused by George
Wingield, who asked s., 900 900 for the
property at that time. Since then an
immense amount of development work
has been done, and the contract has just
been let for the equipping of the prop.
erty with q 700-ton reduction plant. Il
Is said that Mr.. Wingield has associated
with him Fl. O. Prick and some other
wealthy men in this proposition. One
who has recently visited the property
says:
when three multi millionaires join
fortunes in any kind Of an enterprise,
the business world sits mp and takes no.
tice. When the big three in the indus
trial and financial world Joined hands to
develop one of the biggest deposits of
low grade gold ore thus far discovered
In the West. or in the world for that
matter, no one paid the slightest atten.
tion, for the good and sufficient reason
that no n knew anything about it ex
cept the gentlemen themselves, and
they never tell tales out of school.
However. it has gradually leaked out
that the men behind the big project at
Buckhorn. associated with Mr.. Wing
field. are the two men whose names are
a guarantee of good faith, and a further
guarantee that if there is any gold in
those old gray hills at Buckhorn it will
be converted into coin of the realm. and
the hills and mountains in that locality
will de induced to reveal their hidden
wealth. 1t also means that the worlds
supply OF gold will be visibly increased
and that millions will be added to the
wealth of the Nation.
"For four long. dreary years these
magnates have dug into the bowels OF
the earth and tunneled here and there,
until seven miles Of tunnels and slopes
told the story of the immense riches
with which nature had endowed this
land Of already known fabulous wealth.
These gentlemen have invaded natures
laboratory, and wrested from nature
herself q secret which has been q mys.
terry to mankind during all the years
that are past.
There are over $11 900. 900 already
blocked out, and values still remain se-
cure from the prying eyes of oovetous
men which. if computed by dollars and
cents, would dazzle the mind Of finan-
ciers and make the above figures look
like decimal fractions.
while this phrase may be considered
a figure of speech. it is founded on fact,
and fiction has no standing in the face
OF the thorough scientific development.
which has demonstrated to an absolute
certainty the immense values at Buck.
horn, the coming camp of the West.
Walter Trent of Reno has contracted to
erect a power plant at Beowawe, 25
miles from Buckhorn, which is to furnish
ample power for the working of this
valuable property. Two huge locomo-
bile distillate engines imported from
Germany will generate the power,
which, it is estimated. will be of suf-
hcient capacity for the present.
when the mill il completed it is ex-
pected that 700 men will be continually
employed and the capacity will be in.
creased should further development
demonstrate the necessity for so doing.
"Buckhorn is not a poor mans camp.
1t is a milling proposition, pure and
simple 1t takes millions of money to
develop the property, and fortunately
for the State it has a Wingfeld, who is
king among mining men throughout
the entire West. H. O. Prick, the steel
king. is one of the men associated with
Mr.. Wingdeld in the development of
the Buckhorn property"
