YER|AGT0N IS ONLY
COMPETITOR OF ELY
Resources Uniformly Richer
Than Famous Deposits in
Eastern County.

l., IA. Bartholomew, who has been
CONNECTED with the mining life of sew
eral Nevada camps in which Salt LAX.
ers are large owners Of properties, for
several years, is in the city from Yer
ington and Fairvisw. Mr.. Barthoo-
new Is one who knows Yerjngton like
book, growing with the camp during
splendid section s career. The deposits
OF ferlngton, as disclosed on such prop
critics as the Nevada Douglas, Mason
Valley, Blue Stone, Malachite McCon-
nell, and half score of others, are
so uniformly richer than Ely, and are
so extensive, that he looks for equal
returns IN point of value from both
camps.
Next to the Malachite group, owned
by Salt Lakers. Mr.. Bartholomew has
a group of eight claims known as the
Iron Chief property. This group, he
stated Wednesday, contains the same
contact from which so many Of the
Ierington mines are taking such sensa-
tional ores of the red metal He has
n small force of men at work at this
time, but upon completing his mission
in this city, he will return to Yerington
and get down to earnest development
work. He has every confidence in his
possessions, and will expend every ef-
fort to open typical Yerington prop
erty.
Fairview, stated Mr. Bartholomew. is
showing up splendid proportions.
Wherever any effort has been expended
upon genuine mining work. there have
been results registered Indications of
permanency IN resources are to be found
all over the district, and the coming
year s work Will more than demonstrate
this splendid region g merits. Mr.. Bar,
tholomew is very enthusiastic regarding
the showings that are being made on
the Nevada Hills property. This mine,
and il is a mine in every sense of the
term, is wonderful illustration of the

erty, and from all indications this will
be another Nevada Hills.
Mr.. Bartholomew states that the
Eagle s Nest property is showing some
extremely fine resources, and this gives
promise of being as great a proposition
as any in the camp. The Nevada Fair.
view company is doing some telling
work upon their large acreage. This
company has a banner Fairview prop
erty. and although there are at least
ten openings on the same, each one has
a fine ore showing, This exploratory
work has been conducted for a distance
of fully 5000 feet along the surface,
and Mr. Bartholomew states that the
values encountered are extremely high
in character in nearly all instances. The
Nevada Fairview group, he believes,
will make one of the big mines of the
camp.
Adjoining the Nevada Fairvlew is the
propertv Of the Nevada Condors com.
pany, an organization whose manage"
ment has disclosed from four to SIX
feet of ore that averages around S42
per ton. This vein is prominently ex-
posed on the surface from which the
above results were obtained By means
of tunnel the management has tapped
the vein at generous vertical depth, and
its values now average better than slO0
per ton. Mr.. Bartholomew will proceed
10 the Gold Mountain district, where
he has interests. and then viii start
at once for his Nevada properties to
urge forward a greater amount or e1-
ploratory work,
