| The call OF the. activity and lie IN
rapidly developing mining camp
was too much for Eye editor SO our
intended 3-weeks visit was cut to 10
days, and we are again back to the
sanctum Of the TRIBUNE trying to
keep tab on the rapid development of
this section.
Our first trip was to Vernon and
Seven Troughs, returning Tuesday,
and we were astounded at the growth
of the town of Vernon and the de-
velopment of the district in general.
vernon's Rapid Growth
In but two or three months the
Vernon townsite has been transform
ed from a sagebrush fat to busy,
bnstling mining camp. 1t now has 2
stores, 2 boarding houses, 3 saloons.
t2 assay Offices. 2 real estate and
brokers Offices, a livery feed and sale
stable, and various other enterprises
promised at an early date. There
are, besides the business houses,
about Is tents and residences of
various designs and elegance. Itall
bears the appearance OF stability and
permanence. Every lot on the main
street of the original town plat has
been sold, as well as three blocks in
the Smythe addition.
Vernon is situated on a gradual
slope, from the foothills in which the
mines are located. down to the valley
below. The soil is a rich sandy loan,
and though it stormed for the two
days We we're there, yet the ground
was hardly muddy, compared with the
streets of Lovelock. 1t is surrounded
by number Of very promising mines
which are sacking high grade ore
from the very grass roots and which
give every indication OF permanency
and richness. These mines are of
easy access from town and already
have many tons of bonanza ore ready
for shipment as soon as reasonable
freight rates out can be obtained.
Some of the Mines
Going up from town you come first
to the camp of W. r. Moler, who has
been working faithfully to develop a
group of very promising claims. He
is now down about 60 feet on big
ledge of high values and has several
tons of Gore sacked which will more
than pay for development work.
Just above him are the claims OF
E'John Andregg and associates, upon
which rich veins are. being opened up
by trenching and crosscutting.
Passing on up the canyon with the
monuments of lucky claim holders
standing out like sentinels on all sides
you come to the famous Fairview,
| from which the assays of S175,000 pt r
ton have been obtained and the fabu.
lous wealth of which has startled the
mining world. Here is scene of
great activity. Men and teams are
busy with the erection of orebins,
boardinghouses, shafthouses and other
buildings The ledge carries rich
streak about IL inches wide that will
run into the thousands of dollars per
ton, while the entire vein of over
, three feet will average hun 1reds of
dollars to the ton. B crosscutting
on the surface this vein has been
) opened for $50 feet in length, while
it has been traced through the com
pany's holdings for 5000 feet. Space
forbids further details of its wealth
and magnitude. Shipments soon to
be made will better tell the tale.
i Running north from the Fairview
ground is the great Cleghorn lode.
This was traced by the discoverer-
John CleRhorn-for a distance Of
1000 feet. Upon the showing in his
discovery shaft at depth of 10 feet
leases were-,let for the entire 1000
, feetin very short time. This ledge
was a silver lead, assays showing as
: high as $1,000, The work Of various
leasers along this load show it to be a
fcontinuous. well defined vein. Pyle
and Smooth have the deepest shaft
about so feet. They are now cross
