MINE GROUP
w. n. Wise, President of
Firm, Purchases MONDAY
Gains; Development OF
District is Being Pushed.


w. II. Wise, president of the
Boundary Cone Consolidated,
has become enamoured of the
Carrera district. On his sec
ond visit to the camp, last
Sunday, he purchased from
Judge L. o. Ray the MONDAY
Group of four claims located
on the main vein system OF the
district and bordering the end
line of the Gold Ace property
on the west.
The MONDAY group are among
the early locations following the
recent high-Tade strike of the
Gold Ace company, and are re-
garded very highly by the practical
mining men of the district.
While at the property, Wise cr-
dered an official survey to be
made and put men at work pros
pecting the ground to find the
best place to start development OF
a shaft. He promises an aggressive
development campaign.
Ample Backing
The Boundary Cone Consolidated
is listed on the Los Angeles curb
and is amply financed to take on
this additional development cam
paign, as they also own valuable
properties in California. which are
reported near the producing stage.
Wise has been congratulated by
Las Vegas mining men on getting
into the Carrefa district which IL is
still at the period of initial de-
velopment.
Others firms which have recent
ly going into this district are push
ing their prospecting work ag-
gressively.
Others Develop
The AriSto Gold Mining company,
headed by Bril- Putnam c. Ray
Boggs, Hind and other members of
the Gold Ace company. has just
been incorporated and promises
actual development of claims TAX
en- over for their company. 1t is
believed they are promised ample
financial backing by a well-knoUn
eastern brokerage house.
To determine the depth OF the
main orebody in the Gold Ace
Mining company's holdings. the
sinking of two shafts has been
started. An incline prospect shaft
is being sunk on the richest part
of the ore and a accompaniment
vertical working shaft has been
started on the hangingwall side 100
feet northeast of the strike. which
will cut the vein on its dip at
about 80 feet. The vein strikes
north and dips in an eaSterly di-
rection at about 40 degrees, &C
cording to the Goldfield News and
Weekly Tribune.
G. Raymond BoggS. president
of the Gold Ace, states the
vein has been exposed for a
width Of about six feet, with
quartz still showing on the
footwau sido that contains free
gold. The real highgrade
streak, about two inches wide,
runsb etter than $4,000 per
ton, some specimens running
much higher.
Aside from this there is 10 inches
that assays 5000. and entirely ex-
elusive of these StreakS there is
four feet, now being sacked, from
which samples have never run less
than $50 0a ton, according to
BoggS.
