HEAVY DEVELOPMENT
TO BE CONF ENCEO

Announcement was made yesterday TO
the effect that the Nevada Alpine mine, in
southwestern Nevada, is to be developed
on q giant scale.
This property was first brought to the
front by Utah people some years ago,
and has been operated successfully by
them ever since Ii was the first south
ern Nevada mine to pay dividends, and
has always been regarded as one of the
rock bottom propositions of the dis
trict.
The property consists of nineteen adj
Joining claims with two water claims
about a mile away. The ore IS a hl2h
grade silvcr-lead and the property since
its discovery has produced regularly and
has an unbToken record of weekly ship
ments which have scarcely varied more
than 80 ton from an average of SlJf.
As evidence Of the wonderful richness
of the ore. it may be said that there
is not an ounce Of II on the dunn Every
pound is shipped just as it tcmes from
the mine.
The development work on the property
consists of a 2.000-foot tunnel. practically
ali in ore and since its inception not over
any one time The shipments have praC-
ticaIly all come from the driving of the
tunnel.
I'd to this time slightly over S300, 900 has
been paid out in dividends, and under the
system of work to be inaugurated the
present rate will likely be doubled.
The company has secured the services
of Williams Beals, jr., a Boston mining
engineer. under whose direction develop
ment will be prosecuted in the future.
The company was organized in the lat
ter part of 1892. the following being the
officers: w. z. OMera. president; Thorn
as J. Lynch, vice president, and w. j.
O'Mera. secretary and treasurer. Up to
this time the company has been a close
corporation owned almost exclusively by
these officers.

A short time ago Marvin e Ish and

SALT LAkERS
IN NEVADA DEAL
Vernon TOWnsite Under Con-
tract to Local
Talent.
DISTRICT GAINING FAST
RECENT DEVELOPMENT GIVE
PROMISE OF GREAT FUTURE.

Vernon, the distributing center of that
extensive new mining territory in Ne
vada known as the Seven TrouGhs dis
trict, and the objective of the present
rush to the central Nevada gold fields
was the scene a few days ago of real
estate deal that has placed the entire
townsite in the hands of Salt Lake in
visitors for six months. The Salt Lakers
have taken over $50 lots, representing
property still unsold to the stream of in
Corners all of which they expect to dis
pose of at an enhanced valuation between
now and next June.
The deal was closed through the offices
of Clinton ID. Ray, representing a group
of Salt Lake investors. and Mr.. Freed
man. president of the Vernon Townsite
company, who is closely associated with
Jesse Knight and L. Holbrook in the own
erShip of the FaiTview mine, near the
town. 1t is understood that the new
company has secured in connection with
its tOWnsite rights. valuable water and
mining concessions. and that full pTepara-
tions are going ahead for promoting the
sudden growth of a considerable mining
town and for the reception of the large
population, due by every sign and fact
to arrive here within the next few
months.
The recent decision of the Fairview
owners, the hackers of the CleghOrn
group of properties, D. \. Harms, repre-
senting GOldfield capital; Mr.. Pyles, of
the Nernan Townsite company; ". r.
Moler owner of the BuckhOrn. and some
three or four other mining operators in
the immediate neighbOrhood of Vernon,
to begin extensive developments looking
to deep mining at once. makes it a prac-
teal certainty that a large population of
miners will be poured into Vernon within
the next six weeks. With ore disclOs-
ures in practically every property that
has been opened. and uniform improve
ment with every foot of depth gained.
the universal belief in the new camp is
that mining activity is gaining such a mo-
mentus that rush that will rival the
historic rush to Goldfield is now in its
manifest beginning.
