claimed that three and half feet OF
this ore is in sight. The lead runs ul
the hill and the tunnels to he let will
in all likelihood follow it.
1t is given out that representative
of prominent eastern mining man
who visited the property recently
stated that should the vein prove to
be Is inches in thickness, no trouble
would be experienced in getting $3.50,
600 cash for the mine, and said that
he was willing to make that offer and
accompany it with cash guarantee.
Recent development work has dis
closed a vein not Is inches in thickness,
but 31a feet instead, and any offer of
the size mentioned would not be con-
sidered at the present time. Every
prospect points to one of the biggest
and richest mines in the state.
Fairviewis booming town of
hundred people and diversified business
interests. Three saloons are already in
operation and others are projected.
K estaurants supply the wants OF inner
man, groceries and meat lines are
represented by Douglass and Kent and
Wightman X Downs, whose interests
are being looked after by Joe Jarvis,
who left the first of the week with two
big freighting outfits loaded to the gun
vale with the supplies 1t is reported
that he is already enjoying II flourish
ing business.
The drug line Is represented ably by
the &. 4 X. Drug Company, and an up
to-date stock is already housed in Il
good building. ID. j. Keeler is dis
pensing the curealls, and of course is
meeting with good business success.
\ good many wagon loads OF lumber
have been forwarded to FairvieW dur
ing the week, and carpenters are said
to be in great demand. Buildings are
being put up indicating permanency
The owners of the Fairview group of
claims have already sacked about two
tons of ore which has been shipped
away for tests, and every effort is being
bended to follow this shipment with
many similar ones.
fairview has an enterprising rival in
the new camp of Fairfield, situated
some five miles to the northeast of the
original discoveries. Watson x Van
Dyck, attorneys, of Goldtield, are be-
hind the new townsite, which is situated
directly at the Berlin group of claims
These claims embody one OF the most
promising properties in the district and
an lS-inch OF free milling ore has al
ready been encountered that runs $lOS
in gold, silver and copper. The owners
OF these mines are also preparing to
makea shipment OF their product, and
it is given out thata large force OF men
will be put ON as soon as practicable.
The gentlemen behind the Fairfield
project are enterprising parties, eX-
perienced in mining and their business
standing allows OF little doubt of the
ultimate success of their venture.
The townsite which they have is al
ready surveyed and plated AMI lots
will be on the market by March lst.
One thing that especially commends
the Fairfield townsite is the water in
dications which it is thought can be
had in sufficient quantities by digging
only few feet.
Lots in Fairfield will be sold at what
appears to be very reasonable prices.
Corner lots will be held at 800 while
inside lots will go for $50 each.
Among the many promising prospects
none have come to notice with more ap-
parent merit than a property owned by
Anne Bermond, situated near Eagle
Vile. This hardy prospector has done
his own development work, until now
he sends in the information that he has
uncovered an ore body averaging three
feet in thickness, and carrying gold
values of from $lS to $75. The samples
brought to town by Ed Brown are good
ones and would indicate permanent
property.
A. +. Branch, of lIazen, is also the
owner OF several promising claims in
the Mount Ann district. He has been
working on his property for the past
month, and while in town Thursday
stated he had uncovered shipping ore.
He stated that he would soon
puta force OF men towork, and consider
able money will be spent IN the
development OF the groupin which heis
associated with G.. W. Likes and Jake
Gregg.
The town OF Lovelock has secured n
fine flow OF water from we'll which
will furnish an ample supply for fire
and domestic purposes. A tank to hold
