NEVADA WONDER GETS
THE ORE ON 1900 LEVEL

j. s. Austin, president of the
Nevada Wonder Mining company, as
well as of the Tonopah Mining COM
pany of Nevada, who is now in camp,
confirms the recent report of the
finding CT ore on the 1900 level of
the Nevada Wonder mine at the
camp of Wonder in Churchill coun-
ty. Following his well known rule
for extreme conservatism Mr.. Aus
tin was reluctant IL discuss this
latest development as the drift had
Just entered the Gre shoot when he
recently examined the mine. He
states that further development
alone will prove how important this
ore disc; osure will he and that I'M
H. it is eve he prefers to say lit
tie ;bout II.
There has been no development
of the Nevada Wonder vein from
the 1000 level until the 1900 level
was reached. At this latter point a
crusscut was run and the vein drift
ed on a distance of 1000 feet be-
fore the ore shoot was encountered.
This was eXpec' ed, however, and was
in accordance with the surveys made
at the levels above.-Tonopah Min

BULL MOOSE SOLD

During the past week the first in
stallment upon the purchase price of
the Bull Moose Mining company. the
Baltzer property, was paid to Chas.
Baltzer. president of the company.
The purchasers are said to be a Los
Angeles syndicate, and the purchase
price is reported to be in the neigh
borhood of 100000.
1t is over two years now since
the continuous prospecting of Char
lie Baltzer was rewarded by the
discovery of the values in the big
brown ledge, visible for many a mile,
which fronts one of the foothills of
Bare mountain, and in that two
years much work has been done OH
the property, tending to show the ex-
istence of an extremely large ore
body of a low grade free milling
character, w%arranting the expendi-
ture of none yin physical develop
ment and the erection of a stable
plant to treat the product.-Carrara

RUBY HILL NINE IS
TRANSFERRED UNDER BOND

Raymond Walker, who recently
returned from California where he
spent several months on mining bus
mess, reports that he bonded the
Ruby Hill mine in Pine Nut to a
group of we'll known Nevada min
ing men and that work is to be
started on the property within 80
days.
This news has been received here
with much rejoicing, inasmuch as the
Ruby Hill property is conceded to
be m of the best copper and gold
propositions in this section. r. C..
Walker owns the majority of the
stock in the mine but certain inter-
ests held by a Reno party has pre-
vented Walker from doing extensive
work as has been desired by him.
However he has been plugging along
in his own way and has succeeded
in developing the property to a point
where it gives announcement to
capitalists to take a hold and devel-
OPP the mine.
Two years ago the Mason Valley
Mines company had an option on the
property and spent several months
with a drilling outfit prospecting the
lodges. Although the mine showed
up to all expectations, other pending
deals prevented the company from
The new company has already put
a crew of sever men to work at

NEVADA MINING MAN
VISITING SALT LAKE CITY

L.. A. Friedman, president and
general manager, and Attorney r.
Hartley, director of the Rochester
Mines company, came in from Ne
vada recently. They said that the
mill is complete in every detail. The
electric line will be completed and
the power turned on soon. The ma
chinery will be given a limbering up
Of several days and the expectation
IS to start the crushing department
up on Monday.
What is considered an important
strike was made on the Big Four
lease the past week. On the 500
level the miners broke into a body
Of gold ore. Samples of the casing
went $1O.4O in gold and $1,000 in
silver to the ton. Recent advices
are that as the work progresses in
this new ore shoot that the values
have increased to $40 a ton. They
may be doubled this summer.
The new mill has a capacity OF
100 tons. 1t is estimated that the
property has 10000 tons of ore
broken and blocked out. This ore
averages SIS to $40 a ton. A rail-
road has been completed to the
mill.
The camp in general is looking
good. At Lovelock the Seven

HILL MINE
HAS $4,000 GOLD ORE

What is regarded as the most i'm
portant strike ever made in the
Rochester district, particularly be-
AUS of its high values in gold, has
just been made in the tunnel of the
Lincoln Hill Mining and Milling CON-
pany, according to reports brought
to reno recently by E. /. Orr of Ore
ana, one of the prominent mining
and business men of that section,
says the Reno Journal.
Mr.. Orr was up to Rochester Sat
urday and inspected the strike,
which he declares to be 16 inches of
ore that will mill $4,000 per ton or
an average of a dollar a pound. He
states that this estimate is well with
in the facts, for the ore shows mug
gets of free gold as big as a kerr
mel of wheat or larger sticking out
of it in liberal quantities.
The find was made in the new
tunnel at a depth of nearly 800 feet
on the vein or 1873 feet deeper than
any other workings on this property.
An assay on a specimen taken for
the purpose of getting a fair idea
of what the average value might be
showed 1912 ounces gold and 81
ounces silver or a combined value
of $1,224.94 per ton. The values
are apparently improving with the
small amount of development that
has been done since the ore was dis
covered.
This property is located between
Lower and Upper Rochester and is
provided with a little two stamp
mill which, it is understood, has al
ready pounded out $4,000 worth
of gold from ore produced from the
old workings. Mr.. Orr says the
people of the camp are greatly elated
and he predicts hat this is the be.
ginning of the real boom for Roch-
ester.
A fierce snowstorm prevailed ia
camp last Saturday, a foot of snow
falling in four hours. Mr.. Orr says
he flakes looked like silver dollars
coming down through the air.

Years of great prosperity are be-
fore us and the continuing habit OF
thrift among the people will fortiiy
America I'm It's new role of world
banker and assure the prosperity of
the nation NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
Post-Intelligencer.
Strange as it may seem the great
est amount of saving does not take
place in most prosperous times. Con-
ditions such as have arisen in some
parts of this country as a result or
the war in Europe are often the sig
nal for a return to a simpler scale
of living and an increased proper
ton of saving.
1t will not take a very large in
crease of savings per capita to MAKE
a radical increase in the amount of
capital available yearly and that in
crease will be necessary to keep the
factories, the railroads and the mines
going.
With the great European nations
out of the market as lenders Of
money, there is greater need in
America for the cultivation of the
saving habit among the people to
accumulate capital with which to
finance not only the growing de-
mands of this nation but also Of
those portions of the world that re-
main at peace. If Americans re-
spond to this new duty there will be
no lack of capital for all the needs
that are likely to be felt.
But will they?
The trouble is that as the proe-
perry of the country has grown,
most people have taken on more
costly habits of living. 1t is easy
to let the dimes and dollars slip
away into new ways of spending,
and triply hard to re urn to former
frugal habits.
This is a time for persons in
moderate circumstances to cast away
all false pride. They should feel
nc shame eve if they do cook their
own dinners, shine their own shoes,
shovel their own snow and carry
their own %suitcases when travelling.
The life insurance companies ad-
vertise hat only 5 per cent of those
who die leave an estate. Ninety
five men make money, only five ade-
quately save; only five per cent pro-
vide for the future. Out of this
five per cent who leave estates much
more than one-half are found among
the poorer class of people.
Many who live in fine houses and
ride about in limousines are con-
stantly in debt and have a very hard
time to make both ends meet. They
leave no estates. 1t is noticed that
the habit of saving has increased
among the common people in the
last few years, while among those
who are often deemed rich it has de-
CT eased.-T. d. McGregor.

AUSTIN-DAKOTA ORE

The work Of each week constantly
better ore showings in the
drifts on the property of the Austin
Dakota company south of town. Two
weeks ago the best breast of ore
in the mine was on the 800 level
where shipping rock was broken n
has been maintained ever since.
However, it apepars that this
same ore shoot on the level 100 feet
above is even richer than in the low
err drift. The vein is much larger
and the indications are that the mine
will turn out in as hort time a ship
ment that will materially change the
ledger account of the company. -

CONTACT BOOSTERS PAY
VISIT TO CITY OF ELKO

Who say that the people of Con-
tact are not boosters. If any such
statement has been made right now
is a good time to retract it. A party
of business men from the copper
camp of northern Elko are in the
city today with the idea of boosting
the home camp and attracting the
eyes of the world in that direction.
The party which includes j. A. Abra-
son.. C. l.. Eastman and E. HI. Childs,
the latter the editor of the Contact
Miner, will do all in their power to
make the coming year the greatest
one that Contact has ever seen. Mr..
Childs sta es that he will in a short
time produce a special boosters edi-
ton of the Miner and will scatter
copies of it broadcast over the Unit
ed States. All information relating
to the camp will be contained in this
edition and other literature will be
distributed.
These gentlemen r all loud in
their praise of the possibilities of
Contact and state that prospects are

have ever been.-Eiko Independent.
