The Carson Appeal says; A few
weeks ago the papers Of the State were
requested by @. @. Powning, President
Of the Agricultural Society, to run the
advertisement OF the State Fair. Six
papers in the State printed the adver-
tisement and sent in their bills. Eight
papers In the State, however, declined
to run the advertisement unless they
got their pay in advance Well, they
didn't get their pay in advance and so
didn't print the advertisement. The
Appeal is always willing to gamble on
any scheme that Powning Is in on, for
il the Fair had been short at the finish
Powning would slide a relief bill
through the Legislature and land his
goods. Powning always wins out on
these rackets il you give him time.
Yesterday the Appeal received its
| check for the advertising. and every
other paper who ran the Reno Fair ad-
v~ertisement got its money. We regret
that some newspapers in the State were
so short sighted as not to be willing to
gamble a little on the success OF a fair
in Nevada. II We would all back the
| State a little more in the pools, the
confidence so displayed would help
things.

silver STAR MINES.

Silver Star is situated about eight
miles west Of Soda Springs, q station
on the Carson & Colorado railroad,
some 81 miles south Of Hawthorne, in
Esmeralda county. The mines lie on
the south side OF Messiah mountain
and are in Silver Star Mining District.
The country rock Of the district, says
Dan De guile, in the Salt Lake Tri-
bune, is trap or diorite on the south
side OF the mountain, and 1t is in this
formation that the gold veins are found /;
on the south side, limestone Is the
prevailing formation with a strong
syenite belt running parallel with and
between the limestone and diorite.
The gold-bearing veins run east and
west and the syenite appears to form
the foot-wall Of the whole mineral belt.
The mountain itself is a huge one, and
the only one in all that region that is
heavily timbered.
The mountain rises to q height oil
$500 feet above sea level and the mines
are situated on its slope at an altitude
Of from $500 to 100 feet. All the
veins are well defined and vary in
width from two to twenty feet. The
vein material is a friable calcite. In
this gold is found in the free state and
containing a very small per cent of
silver.
The mines yield near the surface
from 1920 to $50 per ton, and at the
east end OF the system there are seven
veins lying from 800 to 400 feet apart.
These veins seem to converge at a point
about a mile west where on q ridge
the vein is about 80 feet wide on the
surface, the surface material assaying
from 50 to $l2 in gold and about 80
cents in silver. At q depth this large
bulge is liable to contain a bonanza Of
great size.
