crossing subjects IN tins section, ana
nnless all signs fail, they will constitute
larae factors in our future life. People
of all classes hailing from everywhere
have passed through Fallon during the
,aet week, all bound for the new camp
n Fairyiew. Many strikes have been
renarfed and new enterprises have as
sumed tangible form in a night. Town
sites have been plated, stores, eating
bnnses. saloons and even newspapers,
are sharing in the general business
prosperity, until, we find 1t impossible
To chronicle transpiring events save III Il
briei summary.
The past week has been marked by
some active work that has been pro-
ductiye Of results, and although Fair
view Is as vet too new camp 10 pre-
diet its future with certainty, its
possibilities seem as great rs those OF
any of the southern mining camps. Its
mineral formation is the result OF the
eruptive period, and pyrites and lydites
abound. Its reefs resemble some
crustaceous congiomerate, although in
some instances ore bodies carrying high
values have been encountered. Nearly
all of the samples unearthed to date
earrya larger value in silver than in
gold and the major part OF the ore !

reported to be 1850. 4 strike was
made on the Berlin group OF claims,
owned by a Goldfeld Company, while
drifting work was in progress the
first of the week. \ permanent lS-inch
ledge was uncovered that showed
value OF $l0S in silver, gold and
copper.
One of the greatest drawbacks to the
FairvieW district Is the lack OF water.
1t Is reported that water is selling at
s. per barrel at the present time.
Among the Fallon parties who are
prospecting for water are +. NJ. Brown.
jess Bruner and Jack Barnhill, who
lett Fallon the first OF the week for
the Fairyiew district equipped for dig
ging and they hope To locate water
within few miles OF the present town
site OF Fairyiew. At the present time
water is beiug hauled l5 miles
George T. Millner, an experienced
mining man, hailing from Goldtield had
the following to say as regards the
merits OF the new camp. 81 wouldn't

sidered thatthe pay area, as defined at
the present time is II miles square in
extent my statement does not seem eX-
iraYagant Values can be PANIED from
nearly every part Of this area, and a.
prospecting continues, the pay belt will
surely be extended. Every mine in
the district is looking better with each
day work and you have my word for
it that some wonderful discoveries are

Warren Richardson, California
capitalist who is heavily interested in
Ionopah and Goldtield passed through
Fallon Thursday in company with T..
;. Sheffield, mining expert of much
experience, whom he has employed TO
expert his property at Fairyiew. Mr..
Richardson stated that indications were
OF the best and that should favorable
report be rendered 10y Mr.. Sheffield, a
large amount of money would be set
aside Immediately for development
work.
Messrs. Bertschy and IIinckly who
are associated with +. o. Norton the
original discoverer of the district passed
through Fallon the first OF the week.
They are optimistic as regards the
future of the section and made the
following statement.
There are about one hundred men
IN the camp" said Mr.. Bertschy
'and all of them are working hard
10 get claims located and the re-
qaired location work done. Within the
last few days the real influx from the
outside world has begun and it is my be-
llei that We will have "a big population
within very short time
"Fairyiew is going to make a big
camp. The formation is hryilite and
porphry, and the values are found in
true fissure veins. Assays show that
The ore is principally gold, with large
per cent OF silver and that it is high
grade.
Thus far no extensive work has been
done. Myself and my associates,
