JUDGE RAY NOT
FOR mSPEAKERSHIP
SAYS HE Is NOT AFTER HONOR
WANTS TO BE ABSOLUTE
LY FREE

Assemblyman-elect Judge L o. Ray
of Rhyolite, was in town yesterday.
When his attention was called to the
report which has been appearing in
several papers lately to the effect
that he was an a%spirant for the
speakers chair, Judge Ray said: Il
am not looking for the speakership
of the next legislature and | wish
you would correct any report to the
contrary. | am going to the assem-
bly, to work and | don't want to be
tied down by any formalities which
will in any way interfere with my
duties. Many questions might come
up in which my constituents were
~vitally interested and / want to be
free to fight or approve such meas
ures according as | see it would be
props. This would not be possible
if | were in the speakers chair. Be
sides, were / SO honored, | know that
If anything should come up requiring
my support I would be out in the
middle of the floor fighting tooth and
nail. This, of course, would hardly
be the proper course
When questioned as to the matter
of Incorporation, Judge Ray answer
ed. This matter will surely come III
at the next session and | think tina
both Tonopah and Goldfield are en-
titled to Incorporation, ! have no
given the matter sufficient consider
alton to state my position. Without
doubt such a course would give ma
terial advantages, but on the othe
hand / think | can see where Their
might be a little difficulty. Tn
question will come up 1t the prope
time and it will be carefully consid
cred. Judge Ray leaves for Gold

THE FAIRvIEw G

Three shifts are now working on
the Wingfeld-Nixon property, the
third having been put on Wednesday.
This is the first work in the camp
to start a continuous run, and it
marks a new era in development;
"henceforth things will 10Y Just a
little faster. Especially is this true
of the Fairview Eagle, as it is learn
ed that a departure is to be made.
A station will be cut at the level
where the great ore body was first
encountered, and a drift will be run
in both directions, following the ore
shoot.
Since the installation of the big
hoist much more rapid progress has
been made here; from the 1st to the
goth of November the shaft wen
down on additional fifty feet or near
ly two feet per day; the total depth
is now 140 feet. In a very short
space of time there will be more
drifting going on at several levels,
and the work of honeycombing the
big ledge will be on in earnest.
Over on the Fairview claim Super
intendent Joe Morris has just start
ed some interesting prospect work
for the purpose of determining whe
Their the vein developed there is tht
same as the one they are WORKING
on Boulder No. 3 claim. If thiI
should prove to be the case it viii
have a great bearing on the varioui
properties of that neighborhood, AM
it will more exactly determine tn
general course of the main ore shoe
that is to several of them.
, Another improvement that may b
J noted is the erection of a neat an
{ comfortable cabin for the residenc
of the new foreman, Mr.. James T
Gordon, who recently arrived frol
Montana to take charge of the deta
work at the mine.

KEEP EYE ON RHYoLITE.
BuIlfrog District in Nevada Said to
BE Promising One.

BE PROMISING OnS.
RHYOLITE, New, Nov. 2S.-It
now appears that Rhyolite is in the
midst of a substantial boom. Build
ing is going on at a rapid rate on
almost every street in town. Car
penters get $1.0O per hour and $3.50
per hour for overtime. More than
one hundred carpenters could get
employment here.
Investors and mining men are
coming into the district every day.
The recent strikes on the Gold Bar,
Homestake, Gibraltar, Mayilower
Starlight, Tramps, Victor and a score
Of other mines of extremely rich ore
has created an excitement all over
the country. The recent invest
ments by Schwab and associates in
the consolidation of the May1ower
and Starlight, and in other proper
ties demonstrates their faith in the
permanency of the mines of this dis
trict. The substantial and unwaver
ing prices of Bullfrog stocks demon
strate that the mines are enhancing
in value and are going higher or
substantial merit and not on sensa-
tionalism.
Some Los Angeles parties recent!
purchased 40 lots in Rhyolite, ant
San Francisco parties are negotiat
ing for three blocks. The railroad
reception about the 18th Of Deem
Der will bring in a large number 0
investors, and it is fair to presum'
that one of the greatest and mos
permanent growths that has ever oc
Cured in a mining camp will 500
take place in Rhyolite and Bullfro
district. The investing public wiul
do well to keep an eye on Rhyolit
and the Bullfrog district.

The Goldheld Gold Banner Leasing
Company has started a shaft on the
Gold tanner claim, which adjoins
the Mohawk No. / on the north and
has ordered a hoist. The manage
ment expects to find within the boun-
diaries Of the claim an extension of
the famous Mohawk lead.
A roist has been ordered for the
Goldield-Rosebush Leasing and Min
ing Company, which is developing al
block of ground on the S%pearhead
Company's Rosebush claim. The
company has a years lease.
NEARBY CAMPS
Almost any shot should bring the
crosscut into the big ledge on the
ground Of the Goldheld Silver Pick
Leasing Company, On the Deserted
claim of the Silver Pick ground, and
when it gets there the management
expects, confidently, that ore sacks
will be in demand. The cross-cut,
which is from the 150-foot level, cut
two feet of ore t~hirty-eight feet east
o fthe shaft, which contained some
stringers of quartz carrying fancy
values. The big ledge was opened
in the shaft $50 feet from the sur
face, and the shaft passed through
feet of quartz that aver
ages $3.50 a ton.
Forty feet above the big ledge,
which dipped out of the shaft to the
east, a stringer of very rich ore made
it's appearance, %iourneying in the
same direction. There is every evil
dence that the dacite through which
the workings are being extended is
the home of the pay zone.
The Combination Fraction Leasing
and Mining Company's shaft on the

fore the 450-foot level is reacf Ell,
and another shipper added To yha

riencing difficulty in getting miners,
and is paying fancy wages. Cold

A good looking stringer was cut in

of the shaft on the st. Ives lease Sat

it being the plan to push ahead K
