NEW DISCOVERY IN
MARY WILDER MINE

PARADISE VALLEY, Sept 1.-THE
old Mary Wilder mine is coming back.
This mine, located on the saddle" or
divide between the Hanson and Singer
canyons, six miles from the town of
Paradise, was discovered all of thirty
flve years ago and worked by former
resident, Dave Wilder. He put down
a 20-foot shaft and shipped quantity
of ore. Then the decline in the price
of silver caused it TO be abandoned.
Since then different ones have done
work at various times, but ii remained
with Charles Hilpert and ]. NJ. Burns,
mining men of Tonopah and Goldfield.
to uncover what they say is promis-
ing mine. These recent Developments
disclose ledge, three and one-half to
four feet wide. from which assays av-
erage $3.50 In silver. with picked as
says of $50. These are from the
vein uncovered in the old shaft The
ore is a silver bromide found in pure
white quartz ledge matter. The for
nation is granite and porphyry.
The owners say they have three or
four carloads of ore in sight and have
crew of men at york ON a road to
enable trucks to come within 4 short
distance of the workings. They are
in receipt of thousand ore sacks and
have a crew of six men at work on
the lead.
A number of other locations have
been made. Chas. Wann and Art
Gillian, in company with w. w.
King. a pioneer of the Southern Ne
vada mining country, have a group of
claims where they have opened up IA
three-foot vein of gold bearing quartz
on the Little Iona" lode.
The new district has been named
the Keno Mining District.

SYNDICATE WELL AT
FALLOM NEARS GOAL

The Syndicate Oil Co. on the Jones
& Jewell ranch is making wonderful
progress with their we'll. Secretary
w. C. Noteware states that Thursday
evening they were down 1855 feet,
of which 200 feet is 12h-inch cas-
ing, 1925 is Pinch open hole and
no feat 1n-inch open hole, the COM
pany having reduced from a 12-incn
to a 10-inch bit at depth of 1925,
according to the Fallon Eagle.
The Syndicate rig arrived July 6;
since July IL the rig was assembled,
the derrick was built, and actual
drilling commenced August l. The
slogan of the Syndicate is keep the
drill going down." which is evidenced
by the above record made in about
five weeks. This shows that the Syn
dicate has knuckled right down to
business. They are running two L.
hour towers, SO the drill Is running
day and night. The operations of
this company means a great deal to
Fallon and this community, as the
regular pay roll means the distribu-
tion of $4,000 a month. But the main
point is the showing of the drill down
after oil. That is the thing that en-
courages people in the Fallon field.

by Constable Ritts while endeavoring
to peddle a number Of pairs of shoes

at the place at that time. One was
a house made of gravel, cement and

At the time the fire started I was
at the court house to secure informa-

of cutting a Chinaman during a card

trial and l stopped long enough to
secure additional details from Sheriff
Brady. l left Brady to return to the

my own plant burning.
In the Office when the fire started
were Leroy Murray, printer; H. P.
Remington. linotype operator and
Mrs. Ayres, who was doing some
bindery work. The story as told by
them follows:
The gasoline engine was supplying
power for all OF the machinery at the
time. the electricity having failed.
Consequently there were seven leath-
er belts running. and these belts pro-
duce what Is known as static cleo
tricity-the same experienced at
times while combing hair. The gaso-
line tank supplying the linotype be-
came empty and Murray started to
fill 1t. He says that spark from
one of the belts ignited the gasoline
as he was pouring It, Murray never
smokes, so his opinion must be ac-
cepted. That all were not burned to
death is considered miraculous, as
the can contained nearly five gallons
OF gasoline. Murray's burns were

Sidney, Montana,
Has $4,000 Fire

Sidney, Mont, March 23.-The
most disastrous fire that ever struck
Sidney caused q loss Of $3.50, 900
worth of property, destroying the
Gem City Motor company's garage
and workshops south Of the main
part Of the city. The blaze Started
from a kerosene stove and due to the
fact that the building was filled with
gas fumes the fire department could
do but little save protect adjoining
buildings.
An act of heroism was performed
by Roy Rounce, an employee, who
seized a red hot welding equipment
and made for the outside with it as
soon as the fire was discovered. It
is believed that had the tank con-
nected with the mechanism explod-
ed it would have spread fire to all
adjoining buildings.
Twenty-eix stored automobiles were
destroyed. The firm will rebuild.
