aoLDFIELD MAN LUCKY
IN CALIFORNIA CAMP

A brand new strike in one of the old
est mining districts of Northern, Cali
fornia is what M. ]. Cooney, the mining
expert from Goldfeld. has made within
a week after his arrival in Oroville, and
that strike is a new discovery not far
from one of the richest placer mines In
the world, the Spring Valley at Cher
okee. Mr.. Cooney has made two Local
tions on the ledge which he found out
cropping like a stone wall as broad as
a wagon road and from all surface In
dications 1t is one of the biggest lodes
ever struck in Butte county, putting
into the shade such old bonanzas as the
Yankee Hill. Banner. and Gold Bank.
The Sunset No. i and 2, which is the
name given to the claims by Mr..
Cooney, contains twenty acres. and the
ledge running through ii is thirty feet
wide. That is. the main ledge, which is
of white quartz. Accompanying 1t on
the hanging wall is another ledge six
feet wide. At the contact is a pay
streak of very high grade ore. No as
says had been made up to yesterday.
but the quartz all pans free golo
How such a ledge escaped discovery
is a mystery. A pick had never
been stuck into it before Mr.. Cooney

G. X. JARVIS OPINION
OF FAIRvIEw AND WONDER

c.. K. Jarvis, the Columbia merchant.
returned from Fairview this week and
brought with him an array of samples
from the different properties in that
camp and also from the new discoveries
at Wonder. Mr.. Jarvis is the vice pres
ident Of the Fairview Eagle Mining
company. the one organized by George
Wingfeld, Senator Nixon and other
Goldfeld capitalists, and 1t is about this
that he is enthusiastic. The Eagle joins
the Nevada Hills property o. the north
and consists of five claims. 1t was pur-
chased at the very outset of the Fair
view excitement. the present owners
practically having their pick of the
whole camp. The Nevada Hills COM
pany has been the most talked about re-
Gently and has, according to Mr.. Jarvis,
a wonderful showing. but he admits
that the Eagle is a close second and will
soon share in public favor with the Ne
vada Hills. The greatest showing in
Fairview is now in the bottom of a 40
foot shaft on the Nevada Hills where a
three-foot vein gives values of 90 ounces
of gold and $500 ounces of silver per
ton. On the surface this vein has been
traced a distance of LOO feet. The
stock of that company is selling on the
Salt Lake exchange at So per share. Mr..
Jarvis says he believe the company will
be paying dividends inside of six
months.
On the Fairview Eagle Mr.. Jarvis
states that ore Is being sacked in three
places, the best ASSAYS so far being 80
ounces in gold and 1000 ounces in silver
per ton. The company shaft is down so
feet and drifting toward the main shoot
is in progress. The utmost interest Is
taken in this work in Fairview where
it is believed some sensational records
will be made as soon as the Eagle Is
we'll under way. The samples brought
to Goldfeld have been placed on ex-
hibition in the office of w. F. Bond &
Co.
Mr.. Jarvis is a pioneer in Nevada and
has had an interesting career. He was
one of five men who graubstaked
Meyers and Murphy when they came to
Goldfeld and located what is now the
Combination mine. The original n
sold out to the men In the present
company for $4,000. Now there are
men. or eight interests represented
by sets of men. who are each drawing
$4,000 per month in dividends from the

HIGH SURFACE VALUES
IN FAIRvrEw DrsTzrCT

Excellent surface showing has been
made on the Goldstone claims in the
Fairview district. In the prospect
shaft. at a depth of 10 feet. two feet OF
rich ore has been encountered. showing
an average of over $50 a ton. The shaft
will be continued to disclose the size OF
the ledge. Last week the property was
examined by w. b. Dillingham;. CHER
engineer of the United Investors cor'
pany, of New York. and by Arthur F
Price of Thos. Price & Son. the well
known San Francisco firm of ~consultipe
mining engineers. Their reports were
received by A. J. Norton & Co., only a
few days ago and are both enthusiastic
over the possibilities of the property.
according to these reports the showing
on these claims is little shor of phe-
nomenal. The vein can be boldly traced
for the entire length of the property,
ou~tcropping continually. Surface as
| says show high values.
The CLAIMS have been Incorporated as

NEVADA HILLS GETTING BUSY

The big task of cutting a roadway
up to the different workings on
the Nevada Hills properties has been
practically completed. and 1t has made
a great difference in the aspect OF
things. The miners are back into the
rich streaks again, and every day adds
$50 sacks of ore to the humble piled UP
on the dump.
The Is per cent grade to the bottom
of the gulch enables the management to
get the ore down there quickly and
economically, and there are now 1900
sacks there awaiting transportation, In
addition to what has already gone out
this week. Four ten-mule teams are ex-
pected here this evening to a away
900 sacks tomorrow. Kodaks will be
flashing tomorrow.
A new strike was made on Nevada
Hills yesterday. 1t is a hard quartz
differing from the general run of ore,
in this respect. on this property, but is
Identical in that 1t carries the great
silver values in predominance. The new
ore was taken from the surface crop
pings on the ledge that show up for a
distance of 100 feet, and simply gives
additional evidence that the rich streaks
are continuous.
Tunnel No. 1 is in $50 feet. An up
raise for air has just been started. AS
soon as air is had the third shift will
be put on.
On the shaft at the east end work
they are now drifting both ways at the
50-foot level, and the vein continues to
yield the values.
