No new mining camp remains free
from mining buzzards long. Just as soon
as it becomes known that a mineral
field promising to develop into a good
their emissaries are on the ground stalk
ing off claims. to nave a nucleus for a
company. so that they can be the first
to sell stock to the public. 1t is i'm
material to them where the property is,
or what is it's character, as all they
want it for is to keep from getting into
the clutches of the law for obtaining
money under false pretences, or using
the mails for fraudulent purposes.
Take the new Manhattan camp in Ne
vada. From hearsay, we understand
there are some likely prospects there
that promise to turn out very good
mines.
But for the few claims that may
prove good mines. there are hundreds
of claims already staked out by the

spread broadcast, and in the ADVERTISE

actual ground. These buzzards, before
honest propositions have had a chance
to interest capital, will enrich them
selves. milk the people dry, and give
the amp a black eye.
No one knows this better thar honest
miners, who are the real sufferers. They
annot be crooked. and it is, therefore,
difficult for them to get capital, no mat
ter how rich in promise their claims
may be.
There doesn't seem to be any way 20
prevent these mining buzzards from
sweeping down upon a new field. Vigil
ance committees are Intellectual as these
buzzards don operate from the camp
itself but are cautious enough to re-
move their headquarters to a very safe
distance.
The only way to initiate against the
evil that they bring with them is for
each new camp to form a publicity COM
mittee which should publish a fearless
independent mining journal to be sent
free to investors. Every AXE should
be listed and fully described in this
paper.
Consistent publicity of this character
is about the only practical step that can
be suggested to prevent the mining buzz
yards from swindling people and give
the camp a black eye.

NOTICE TO PRosPECToRs
AND OTHERS ENGAGED IN MINING

Under the state law of Nevada APP
proved March 16, 1895, the University
of Nevada is required to receive, ex-
anime. and report upon the mineral con-
tent and value of all ores sent by citt-
gems of the state and taken from within
the boundaries of the state. Provision
has been made IL the University budget
for a small yearly sum of money to de-
fray the expenses of carrying out this
work. This sum is not sufficient 70 en-
pioy a man for this work during tho
summer recess of the University and
consequently all specimens and samples
received during these months are held
over until the first week in September
at which time the necessary work is
done and the reports are rendered.
Notice is herewith given that all
the samples received after May goth
will be held over until September 1st.
at which time. reports will be sent out

FAIRVIEW DISTRICT is
MAKING GOOD SHOWING
NEVADA KILLS. sACKINe
ORE IN TWO PLACES

ORE IN TWO PLACES
Ore is being sacked in two new places
on the Nevada Hills property. An aver
age of so sacks a day is being piled up
from the west end cut. From the mid
die cut 1t is expected that this amount
will be increased somewhat in a few
days. as soon as profitable preparations
can be made for handling the ore.
On the main shaft good Roadway is
being made and the ore taken out Is of
a rood grade, being sacked as broken.
Work on the tunnel il progressing nicely
and three to four feet is being made on
this development every day. The cars
and track have been installed and this
has greatly facilitated matters in the
handling of rock from this point. In all
a force of % miners are at work and
another shipment will be ready to go
out in a few days.
Work on the switch back road is be-
ing pushed rapidly and a force of men
are at work %excavating and grading the
same. This road will cross from the
Boulder to the Ida NJ, thence to the
Lena, coming into the canon at the base
of Eagle Rock. With the completion of
his road shipments will go out ECU
larly from the Nevada Hills property.
The stock of the Nevada Hills Mining
company was issued this week. Owing
to the fact that the allotment was over
subscribed. the proportion of each sub
scriber was regulated accordingly

ANOTHER FAIRvIEw DISCOVERY

A few days ago c. d. Wilkinson and
C. r. Murdoch, while examining one of
the lodges cutting the Lena No. 3
ground, discovered some highly miner
allied groupings and some preliminary
surface development work has %ncover
ed a pay streak fully our feet wide,
containing high grade values in gold.
This is the extension of a huge ledge
cropping prominent on the Boulder No.
2 and extending into the Lena No. 8.
Small land samples, mortared and
PANIED, reveal many small nuggets of
gold the size of a grain of wheat.
Very little work has been performed,
but it is a reasonable superstition that
another bonanza has been found and
only awaits development to become a
producer.

rArRvIEw TO BE
GREATEST CAMP or STATE

Quincy Gordon, the mining expert
who has been so successful in Judgment
and investment in the various camps in
the state. is back from Fairview and
emphatically declares that 1t will ulti-
mately develop into the greatest camp
of Nevada
Some three weeks ago Harry Taylor
purchased for his associates and him
self claim No. s of the Boulder group
after having made a thorough examina-
ton to his own satisfaction. This prop
erty has been incorporated as the Fair
view Golden Boulder with Harry Taylor
president, Quincy Gordon, vice presi-
dent. Eugene Amann. secretary; r. N.
Norrington and Clyde Garrett. directors.
Fifty thousand shares of treasury stock
only have been sold, nearly all in the
east. This will be the limit and was
more thar twice over subscribed. The
ground has been opened up in five
places, exposing rock that assays from
$500 to $500 a ton.
I'm my Judgment said Mr.. Gordon,
Fairview will be the biggest camp in
the state, not excepting Virginia City
and Comstock. We have identically the
same formation, and the surface indica-
tions are the most wonderful in my ex-
perience. Already more than a dozen
properties rave shipping ore. and a few
are hauling to Hazen now. A new town
site has been formed pa miles closer
to the mines. Some 500 or 600 people
are there now and there to stay, and one
thing that Goldfeld will be proud of
and boast of in years to come is the fact
that probably four-ffths of Fairview's
population are Goldfield men backed by
Goldfield capital.
ct cannot be said that there is great
excitement there at present. Develop
ment is systematically being prosecuted,
but this fall 1 predict a great boom for
the district"

DENVER FIRM MAKES
DEFENSE OF METHODS

Marshall, Ellis & Co., about whose
Methods a question was raised in this
paper some. weeks ago, especially in the
matter of selling 1 cent stocks, SUBJ
NIT the following:
We know, of course, that most of the
Goldheld companies are capitalized after
the California fashion. which is like
this; 1,0O0,0 900 shares of stock. of
which 700,0 900 shares are gobbled up by
the promoters n a skinny 800, 900
shares put into the treasury of the
company-this is sold at loo a share,
realizing. we will say. 100000. About
20 per cent is deducted for commissions
and selling costs. which caves the
with about $4,000 to patent it's
properties and do some work on the
same.
Now contrast our method: We cap
italize a company with 1900, 900 shares;
put 1000, 900 or 10000 0 shares in the
treasury, and sell not over one-half of
this stock at lie a share, and the balance
at &c, Sc and sc. On an average we re-
alize from the sale of the treasury
stock $40, 900 to $4,000. BY selling our
stock at a low price the advertising
costs are ridiculously low. The stock
practically sells itself. 1t is no trouble
at all to put so per cent into the COM
pany's treasury, and that means $780,
900 to $12, 900, or more thai the Cali
fornia companies can raise, as a rule,
OF course. part of this goes to the pur-
chase of properties, for We generally
start out with a few outside claims and
buy inside property as the financing OF
the company proceeds.

old lady, who, OF being asked what
her objections were, answered that she
had read the epistles of st. Paul and

From Romans 10 Hebrews answer

Yawning, though contrary to the can
ons Of good society, is undoubtedly
very beneficial TO the Individual. Mus
cles are brought into play during a
good yawn which otherwise would nev-
er obtain any exercise at all. and its
value as sort of natural massage is
considerable. The muscles which move
the lower jaw and the breathing mus
cles of the chest are the first ones used
during the process of gaping; then the
tongue is rounded and arched, the pal
ate tightly stretched and the uvula
raised. The eyes generally close tight.
ly toward the termination Of the yawn,
the ears are raised slightly and the nos
trils dilated. The crack sometimes
heard In the ear proves that the aural
membranes are also stretched and ex-
