Group Is five claims and a fraction. Adjoins Colorados where rich ore found. "WALLACE MACGREGOR." Here Is a detailed report of the property by Edward Hoffman, the consulting engineer and mine manager of the Rich Gulch Wonder Mining Company: WONDER. Nevada, April 4. 1907. To the President and Directors Rich Gulch Wonder Mining Company, Gentlemen: I have examined the Rich Gulch mining property, and beg to submit the follow lng report: The property Is located In the Wonder Mining District, Churchill County, Nevada. The fol lowing mining claims are embraced In the group: Rich Gulch, Golden Fleece, Porcupine, Good Hope and Butterfly. There are about 95 acres in all. This property is one of the best located In the dis trict, being In the center of the mineral rone. The property carries two strong quarts leads. The main vein can be traced 3,000 feet through the Golden Fleece, Rich Gulcn nnd Porcupine claims. A shaft on the Golden Fleece claim, jiint commenced, Is eight feet deep and has a good show ing. The ore here carries gold and istl.-e.- values of from $8.00 to $22.00 per ton. There are other openings on the vein on the Rich Gulch and Porcupine claims from which as says have been taken that give returns cf fiom $7.50 to $404.00. , The main vein as revealed on the surftce and In shallow surface cuts varies in width from four to twenty feet for the entire dlstauce of 8,000 feet through the property. The strike of the vein Is northwest an'l southeast, similar to the strike In the vein on the Spider and Wasp and the Nevada Wonder, the other i wo important properties of the dlsrnt. There has also been opened on the Men Gulch property, striking east and wast, a quarts vein which crosses the Rich Gulch and Good Hope claims. Surface assays on this vein give average returns of $21.00 per ton. I have examined the properties which neighbor the Rich Gulch, and find that the Golden Won der, adjoining the Rich Gulch on the southeast, has opened up the same vein and Is In one on the sur face that assays $200.00 per ton. On the Colorado group, adjoining the Rich Gulch property on the northwest, there has been opened up a continuation of the Rich Gulch vein, and shipping ore has been disclosed In four places. The Billy-the-Kid group to the north, owned by the Ruby Wondeir Mining Company, has sev eral openings from which they are sacking ore that assays from $200.00 to $600.00 per ton. The proved width and length of the main ledge, on the Rich Gulch group would stamp the property as worthy of the highest development, were the assays only half as flattering as those al ready obtained. Taking the width and length of the ledge. In conjunction with the splendid assays ob tained, showing the presence of large bodies of both milling and shipping ore, I do not hesitate to say that the property owned by the Rich Gulch Wonder Mining Company compares at this time with any mining property In the Wonder District, barring the Nevada Wonder and the Spider and Wasp alone, which are in a much more forward state of development. Acting under instructions I have engaged a force of twelve miners, and have commenced the development of the property. Respectfully submitted, (Signed) EDWARD HOFFMAN. E. M.
