FAIRvIEW GROWS GREATER Sc.
WITH EVERY DEVELOPMENT

Each day new and more wonderful
stories of the richness of Fairview
reach The News and as strongly as
they represent the development or thai
camp they bear the ear marks OF truth
and are derived from excellent sources
Manager Davis of the Nevada Hills
company reports that a great strike mas
been made upon that wonderful prop
ertv This strike hich is looked upon
as by far the most important find upon
the nroperty is in the west or Eagles
Nest drift in about 60 feet with a YER
teal depth of a feet. The body at this
point is about 3 feet wide and averages
$3.50. The vein has been explored FOR
500 feet and high values have proven
continuous. From this drift about s12.-
600 worth of ore has been shipped to
Salt Lake. The company has in transit
about 30 tons of ore which assays over
5000. There is also 700 sacks on the
dump awaiting shipment. From the
various workings on the property ore
ia being taken which assays from sl5o
to $4,000.
Mr.. Davis on Wednesday received a
wire from w. II. Clark, a part owner IN
the mine. The message is here given;
"The greatest I ever saw. &C. Ed
Knox (president of Montana
says nothing in Tonopah ever equaied
n Full breast of high grade ore
stock in the Nevada Hills company has
advanced in three days from $3.50 asked
to $40.
The interest, however, while centering
in this great property, is by no means
confined to 1t alone. On the Bowlder
No. 6 of the Golden Bowlder Mining
company, ore has been opened up
through the entire width of the claim.
This is said to be the same ledge tnat
the Ridge and Mclaughlin people nave
traced through their ground. The
Golden Bowlder company is preparing
10 run a crosscut tunnel into the hill
which should hit the ledge at a depth
of 100 feet. Several shafts are also
being sunk on the vein and are now
down about 20 feet.
On the Fairview Eagle group consid-
cradle ore is being taken out In the
sinking of a shaft which is now down
about so feet. On the same ledge sew
eral lessees to the westward are sack
ing $3.50 ore.
On the Nevada Hills East Extension
development is being carried FORWARD
with good results as Is the case on the
Smith Syndicate ground and the Pyra-
mid group which adjoins the East Eek
tension.
On July 1st a force of IL men will be
started on the East Extension and wors
will be pushed with all possible speed
On the Orc Plata a tunnel Is being
driven upon the Lena No. 2 claim &c
catch the vein from the Lena NO. 3
From a cross vein on the latter claim
s65 ore is being extended. The loca-
ton is good and the property Is re-
garded as a valuable one.
Miners are very scarce in the district
and on a number of properties work Is
retarded by the lack of competent men
Webb Parkinson, who is interested In
several of the properties named above
has been obliged to stand the expense
of sending men from Goldheld TO tht
ground. Mr.. Parkinson reports that the
telephone is now connected with FAR
view and the railroad Is progressing
fast to Fallon. The distance from Reno
to Fallon is 16 miles while the con
tract calls for % miles of railroad
which leaves the country about in :
quandary as to where the terminal VII
be. Mr.. Parkinson also states tina
water from the Truckee river Is nov
flowing through the big government
ditch which will irrigate the Carson
sink. Homestead tracts have been lai'
out with from 40 to 100 acres accord
ing to the natural advantages of tn
location. These plats with the waite
rights in perpetuity will be sold at III
per acre with a term of ten years II
which to pay for them and the time VII
be further regulated in proportion witt
the number of acres under cultivation
All his should make Fairview a yer!
comfortable camp insuring as 1t doe
fresh vegetables and other farm prod
ucts.
