WONDER DISTRICT DEVELOPING
SILVER-GOLD Mines Of Value

and native silver. There is said to
he high-grade on the 500 level of
the Extension shaft and the 1900
level of the main shaft that would
grace any cabinet, and it is evident
that the average value of the mill
ore can be raised at the will of
the management.
Development on the lower levels
from the main shaft proves that the
orebodies are deep-seated and the
lite of the mine with the large area
on the north that has been
but slightly explored, cannot be
computed. From the 1900 level
the big Wine has been sunk 800 feet
and has opened a wonderful deposit
of excellent mill ore with lenses of
high grade. A few days ago a raise
on the 500 level of the Extension
shaft. which was being driven to
get waste for the filling of a work
ed-out stope broke into a lens of
specimen ore.
A stable market for silver at adj
vanced prices has reawakened inter-
est in this rich section of the state,
and ~prospectors and operators are
in search of promising properties.
Murray Scott and Lou Savage, who
discovered the Nevada Wonder mine
10 years ago., are again prospecting
in this locality and have located
some ground lying east and south of
Fairview peak which pans well in
gold. They are now establishing a
camp and will do some development
work. Scott is directing the deve.-
opment of the Nevada Lincoln mine,
IL miles east of Wonder, which
greatly resembles the Nevada Won
der both in character of the ore
and the formation in which the
veins make. The two discoveries
were made on low, rounded hills
bearing close resemblance.
Northeast of Wonder at Bernice
high-grade copper ore is being mined
and the district is attracting at
tention. The American Nickel COM
pany is reported to have settled in
ternecine disputes which have kept
the mine idle for several years, and
is TO resume work soon.
The town of Wonder is growing
steadily and is soon to have another
general merchandise store, for the
accommodation of which a building
is being constructed. Vacant houses
are at a premium and the hotels and
rooming houses have about all the
guests they can care for.

An important deal has been con-
summated by the Nevada Wonder
Mining company, which has secured
the lease on the Jack Pot mine held
by the Atlas Leasing company, says
a correspondent of the Reno Gazette.
{ is announced that work is to start
very soon OF the development ci
this property.
The Atlas Leasing company was
given a 25-year lease on the Jack
Pot mine about five years ago. The
company is composed of prominent
capitalists of San Francisco, headed
by Capt. Matson of the Matson Nav
igation company, who also is heav-
lily interested in the Honolulu Oil
company, one of the big producers
of California.
Among the assets of the Atlas
Leasing company is a valuable water
supply which is piped to Wonder
through a four-inch pipe line, fur
nishing the domestic supply for The
town.

HIT 1T RICH

Joe Lang, who has been in the
northern part of the county for the
past week, returned yesterday and
tells of three prospectus who are
grinding out a fortune in gold FROM
the old Este McNinzie mine at Bull

but the vein has been too small for
big profits, so the companies who
had hold of it announc d. On Jan.
/. the three men relocated the
ground and since that time have
been busy getting things cleaned
up. They have installed an old
fashioned arastra with which in the
PAST 81 days they have ground
out cver $1,000 in gold. The vein
varies in width from four inches
to a foot and a half, and carries
over $1,000 per ton.
They are planning to build a
second arastra which will be run
with an engine, their present aras-
ira being run by horse power. =
