THE BUCKHORNS
VAST RESOURCES
WINGFIELDANDF Prick DEVELOP
MENT OF GOLD PROPERTY En-
PECTD TO ADD MILLIONS TO
THE NATIONS WEALTH.

That the Buckhorn mining ground
bids fair to equal some of the largest
producers of the west was evinced
some time ago when the United
States Smelling company preferred
$500, 900 for the estate. This was
refused by George Wingfeld, who
asked $~3,000,444 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
property with a 700-ton reduction
plant. 1t is said that Mr.. Wingfield
has associated with him II. C. Prick
and some other wealthy men in this
proposition. One who has recently
visited the property says:
when three multimillionaires
join fortunes in any kind of an en-
terprise, the business world sits up
and takes notice. When the big three
in the Industrial and financial world
joins hands to develop n 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 attention, for
the good and sufficient reason that no
one knew anything about 1t except
the gentlemen themselves, and they
never tell tales out of school.
However. IL has gradually leaked
out that the lei behind the big pro-
ject at Buckhorn, associated with Mr..
Wingfield, 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
be 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 i'm
mense riches with which nature has
endowed this land of already known
fabulous wealth. These gentlemen
have invaded natures laboratory, and
wrested from nature herself a secret
which has been a mystery to man
kind during all the years that are
past.
There are over S11 100000 al
ready blocked out, and values still re-
main secure from the prying eyes of
c%ovetous men which, If computed by
dollars and cents, would dazzle the
mind of inanciers and make the
above figures look like decimal frac-
lions.
while this phrase may be con-
sidered a figure of speech, it is found
ed on facts, and fiction has no stand
ing in the face of the thorough scien-
tiic development, which has demon
strated to an absolute certainly the
immense values at Buekhorn. the
coming camp of the west. Walter
Trent of Reno has contracted to
erect a power plant at Beowawe,
thirty-fve miles from Buckhorn,
which is to furnish ample power for
the working of this valuable property.
Two huge loeomobile distillate en-
gines imported from Germany will
generate the power, which, 1t is esti-
mated, will be sufficient capacity for
the present.
when the mill is completed il is
expected that 700 men will be con-
~tinually employed and the capacity
will be increased should further de-
velopment demonstrate the necessity
for so doing.
"Buekhorn is not a poor mans
camp. II 10 q hhliiihS PiopoSi'ioh, PuiS
and simple. 1t takes millions of mon
ey to develop the property, and for
%tunately for the state it has a Wing
field, who is king among mining men
throughout the entire west. II. c.
Frick, the steel king, is one of the
men associated with Mr., Wingfield in
the development of the Buckhorn
property"
