ByHEWS OF THE WOHDER DISTRICT••We hare enough ore In sight on our MO-foot level alone to boom the town of Wonder and assure the future of the Wonder district.”—Charles A. Hlgbee. president of the Nevada Wonder Mining company.Mr. Hlgbee arrived In Wonder last Saturday afternoon, and. after spending the night at the home of J. B. Daniel, general manager of the company, left for San Francisco Sunday morning. He made the above statement Just before departure, after a long talk with Mr. Daniel and an examtatlon of the work In the mine at the 500-foot level. He expressed himself as much pleased wlCf the development of the property thus far, and. In the conversation with Mr. Daniel, outlined the plans for the future.A 50-h.p. hoist will be Installed for the sinking to the wster level, estimated to be at a depth of about a thousand feet, which work, as slresdy announced, will be started with the resumption of general activity on the property. The hoist will be operated by stesm. because of the greater rapidity of thla power, and a special boiler has been ordered In Pittsburg. This boiler will be adapted to either gasoline, dlstlllats. or crude petroleum as fuel. A dealer In crude petroleum is expected In Wonder within a abort time to go over with Mr. Daniel the matter of ualng thla commodity aa fuel. The boiler will be of the locomotive type, with the special fuel appliance added. Because there Is no brick for holding heat In this section, the boiler will be encased In asbestos. Construction of the boiler and the filling of the* order for the hoist will take several weeks, and It la estimated that thla machinery will not be on the ground until about two months after It la ready for shipment. Mr. Daniel says that there will probably be no general work done on the Nevada Wonder again until about March 1st.At this time. In addition to the continued sinking, the work In the drifts and crosscuts at the 500-foot level will be resumed, with a view to thoroughly prospecting the seven ledges which have been cut In the surface workings. Only one of these ledges, the Badger, has so far been cut This ledge shows an unusually large body of ore at this level, and Indicates an important Improvement In the formation. The latter Is not broken by Intrusions of country rock and cross Assures at thla depth, as It Is
