Churchill County Men Strikes 1t Rich

w. b. Isaacs, the civil engineer, who
made the Hazen-Fallon railroad survey,
returned yesterday from Ramsey,
where he is jointly interested with
County Commissioner +. 5. Hartman,
Frank Oar, and ". J. Meekin in the
ownership of the North Star group Of
claims. He is enthusiastic over the
prospects of the property and stated
that the first ore shipped would leave
today, consigned to Dayton, where ii
will be subjected to the cynide process.
Assay tests recently had tended to
make the owners of this mine believe
that they have a veritable bonanza.
When asked just how rich the ore be-
ing taken was, Alr. Isaaes would only
smile and say that it was too rich 10
talk about. As soon as returns are had
from the carload of ore shipped today,
it will be made public, but the owners,
being conservative business men, and
the corporation being close one, it is
not desired to start any fake stories OF
fabulous richness, (which in itself, Is
very commendable thing.

Times gone by, the early pioneers of

hogs running wild in this county, but

diminish their numbers. However,
there are still many OF these hogs still
running wild, some OF which have at

STOCK
So Says J. H. Wilson, One of Churchill
County's Enterprising Mining Men

j. II. Wilson, formerly Of the [. :.
Reclamation Service, passed through
Fallon this week from the IXL and Cox
Canyon districts on his way to Fairyiew
and Chalk Mountain. Mr.. Wilson
stated to representative of the Stand
ard that the IXL and Cox Canyon
mines really constitute one gigantic con-
tact lode, situated between porphyrv
and granite on the south and a slate
formation on the north, and crosses the
entire mountain range east and west.
The contact is 1000 to 1900 feet wide and
seven miles long. The entire fissure
is filled with highly mineralized lead
silver, gold and copper ores, the prin-
cipal surface manifestation of which is
an iron Gaping the entire seven miles
in length. Shipments have been made
from this contact running over 1900
per ton, and there are many rich veins
within the contact which will average
over 800 per ton. A recent discovery
shows gold and silver values of 1888 per
ton on the surface. At ten to fifty feet,
several openings show values from 800
to $4,000, silver predominating.
Throughout the entire contact, there
are abundant evidences OF copper. as
high as 6 per cent being obtained on one
ledge of sixty feet in width.
This contact presents smelling prop

perfected, will result in the production

SEWERAGE
FALLONl WILL HAVE MODERN
SEWER SYSTEM
Senator r. L. Douglass Is Preparing a
Bill To Empower Issuance of Bonds

Senator Elect r. L. Douglass has, at
this early date, announced his in n.entions
of presenting a measure for passage by
the legislature of next winter, empow-
ering the town of Fallon to issue bonds.
by which a sufficient sum can be real
lied for the construction of sz7.r-aoe
system.
The Churchill standard scribe inter-
viewed a number of the local business
men this week upon the subject and
failed to find single objection to Sem
ator Douglass pet measure. In fact
the men who are most directly concern.
ed by reason of the fact that they will
pay the largest portion of the taxes, are
unanimously and enthusiastically in
favor of Fallon owning, not only its
sewerage system, but its water system as
we'll.
State Senator w. w. Williams, who
will be succeeded on January Is, 1907,
by Senator-Elect K. l.. Douglass, had
the following to say:
You may place me on record as be-
ing unequivocally in favor of sewerage
system for Fallon, and shall certainly
be willing to pay my pro rata of the
cost that will be incurred in its con-
struction. Falion has needed sewerage
for two years, and the further growth
OF this season will make the departure
imperative. If can assume an adyls-
ory position, | would say that the
Chamber of Commerce should take up
the matter, appoint committees and
interview the interests, comprising the
town of Fallon for the matter directly
concerns US all, and we should all be
entitled to make suggestions. 1t is a
civic improvement of great conse-
quence, and of unquestioned merit and
after feeling out the sentiment OF the
community, a goodhealthy constituency
should be organized to work with Sen
ator Douglass and make his work OF
passing the bill the easier
However, there are other matters
aside from the mere building of the
system to be consideied. A gravity
water system will be necessary to flush
the sewers. Water and sewers are in
separable, and the gravity system mat
ter is an adjunct that must be had be-
fore the sewers can be operated.
II do not want to see any particular
water company granted an exclusive
franchise, and in order to prevent this
1t will be necessary for the town to own
its own water system, and it would be
the business thing to do too"
l. II. Kent, of the l. IL. Kent Com
pany, stated that he was heartily in
favor OF the projected improvement as
did also II. L. and Chas. Burchell, Sand
Al. Rosenberg,A. c. Burton, and other
business men.
Senator Douglass stated that before
Introducing such measure, he would
like the sentiment of the community,
and to this end, the Chamber of Com
merce could do some yeoman service by
appointing committees to take up the
work as suggested by Senator Williams.
