Goldheld, New, May l2.-Not since
the first gold discoveries In southern
Nevada has the outlook for the many
camps which have mushrooms like,
sprang into existence in almost a night
been so bright as It is today. From
many sections Of this already famous
gold producing country come reports Of
improved showings, greater ore bodies
and phenomenal strikes. A dominant
fact Indicative OF conditions. In the
fiscal affairs Of southern Nevada has
been the strength exhibited by Al Sc
cur'ies since the earthQuake In San
Francisco, Many Of the industrial and
railroad stocks Of the east slumped IA
a result Of this disaster, but through
II an Nevada stocks remained compar-
atlVely strong, In fact, when the en-
change opened up about week ago for
the first time since the San Francisco
disaster, the market was firm and stea-
dy This fact speaks volumes for the
stability OF character of the holdings
which the Nevada securities represent.
FROM FairvieW, the latest theater Of
mining operations. come reports Of re-
markable strikes made in several Sec
tons OF the camp and the development
Of a mine less than six weeks old, which
is destined TO become the greatest pro-
ducer In the state. The Nevada Hills
property. in which w. II. Clark w. V.
Rice and other Salt Lake people are in
terested, the stock of which IL selling
for 81 per share In New York. has in.
credible as this statement may seem,
mined during the past 10 days 100000
worth of ore
ON the Falrview Keystone property,
controlled by Patrick, Elliott & Camp
of this city, the same ledge from which
the tremendous product on the Nevada
Hills property was taken has been dis
closing some very high assay values
from the prospecting work done on II.
As this great deposit of ore has been
opened on two sides Of the Fairvew
Keystone the proving of the ore deposit
simply enlarges It's extent and increases
TO a manifold degree tho producing ca
pacity of the camp. The Fairyiew
Keystone Mining company has for its
president MIR. l.. l.. Patrick, who pro-
NOTED the Combination mine Of Gold
field Sol Camp, vice president of the
Fairview. and gives the most glowing
account not only Of the immediate
property in which he is lntereted, but
also OF the entire camp.
The character OF the formation at
Fairvew is absolutely true fissure,
and the geological arrangement of AZ
fairs closely resembles that existing at
Tonopah, The ores are almost identl-
cal with the products Of the older
southern Nevada camp.
At Manhattan there is renewed actIv-
Ity ON every hand The great Consol-
dated ledge, which has made the camp
famous, Is being proven to greater
depth each week and not only are It's
uniform Y, lues maintained, but the le-
post Is broadening out with depth
ON the Manhattan Mispah the ledge
has been proven at a number Of points
establishing its continuity for more
than 500 feet across the Mzpah COM
pany's ground. Three of the leasers
are sacking shipping orc, rock which
runs In excess Of 800 to the ton.
on the Manhattan Buffalo excellent
progress is being made with the double
compartment shaft, the first one to be
started in the camp. The entire work.
ing Is In milling grade ore. and for some
time past high grade shipping rock has
been sacked on this ground.
The Combination is making an i'm
proved showing every day, and mill Is
soon To be built to treat the milling
grade ores on both the Buffalo and this
property.
