Jack O'Hara. an old-time Utah miner
has returned from Nevada, where he has
been for the past six weeks. He told
yesterday of conditions in Ely and else
where in the Sagebrush state.
The TeX-Ricard or Northern building
is the largest in Ely" said Mr.. O'Hara.

which the building is erected sold for

ues heavy. The men who are coming in

maps will be finished within few weeks
Development is being done steadily and
new finds are daily occurrences
Nevada Hill Is Rich.
with the Southern Pacific's Fairview
branch graded as far as FallOn, eight cen
miles from HaZen, the first-namad camp
IS making great strides. The one draw
back TO the camp has been the scarcity
of water. Water for any purpose is being
hauled eight miles.
THE greatest prospect in the Farview
region is the Nevada Hill property, being
operated by Salt Lake company in
Guiding W. V. Rice, w. w. Armstrong,
John A Kirby and others. One wagon
is kept busy hauling ore from the tun-
mel to a loading station, where trains of
two and three wagons carry il 80 Ha
zen. The Gre contains silver and some
good gold values. The silver will rGn in
the neighbOrhO0d of 500 per ton. Sew
eral tunnels have been started. One of
hau fo in he anxy aN-
poets TO tap big vein geo feet further in.
The tunnel is driven at a point high on
the mountain, and the main vein an
ticipated at depth of 2gG feet. All jndi-
cations point toward a strike in the near
future. | am confident that a big ore
body is going to be encountered. Colonel
Nixon and Mr.. Wingfield have property
adjoining the Nevada Hill. and while ex-
celent showngs are made in their pros
Pect no ore has been uncovered.
The Nevada Hill company has just
completed two bunk houses and a board
ing house, which are models of their kind.
Superintendent Weber has unusually
good accommodations for his men. The
hunk houses are kept clean and neat. and
the beds furnished with springs, some
thing novel in mine bunk houses. The
board afforded the miners is like home

Cam NJonder. fifteen miles northwest
of Fairy is a lively little town of
about 800 j tbitants. A rush directed
toward tina amp recently has resulted
in a plant & of location notices over
ground for miles around Development
il not being done as rapidly as il will be
when the town is a little older and capa
BILE of supplying prospecting parties. The
ground on which the original discovery
was made is held by six or seven men
and some dispute appears TO be on among
them. Some want to sell the property,
while their partners refuse TO consent to
a sale Other property is being held up
on this account. Camp Wonder like
Fairview has no adequate water supply.
Fairview Is Prosperous.
"Fairview. although yet in it's infancy
is prosperous little camp. Good wages
are paid reliable men, and there is plenty
of work for the right kind of men. New
arrivals are coming in steadily. The town
has assumed an air of Dermanency and
has all the airs of a much older camp
Ground has been taken up thoroughly
and an unusual activity in development
will commence within a short time
M. Hennessey of Salt Lake left TOnO-
pah and now has charge of some property
in Rhyolite."
Mr. O'Hara will remain in Salt Lake
until his injured hand is in shape again
