PICTURE ORE FOUND
IN FALRVIEW EAGLE
STRONG RIVAL FOR THE NEVADA
HILLS
Big Ledge Recently Opened Which
Assays $3.50 Ton Clear Across.
Rich with SuIphide
Values

The Fairview (Nevada) News states
wide vein of picture ore has been
struck in the Fairview Eagle at the
2oo-foot level. For several weeks the
lower level of the mine has been flooded
with water, which appeared simultane-
ously with the richest sulphide values;
it has been necessary to hoist from
5000 to $4,000 gallons of water every
twenty four hours and the capacity OF
the hoist is taxed TO a degree that will
permit of no mucking; consequently
very little progress has been made
lately But sufficient has been done to
bring reward for the years work, ana
to open up an ore shoot of dimensions
exceeding the most sanguine expecta-
tions, and with values good enough tor
the picture frames.
In the main drift at the 2OO-foot
level, the general trend of which is
northeast, an ore shoot forty inches in
thickness has been cut, and by 1nvt-
tation of Manager j. w. Morris, the
reporter inspected the new discovery.
Three and one-half feet thick, vein
of sulphides in a lime spar formation,
and with values better than $3.50 for
the entire Dody, series OIL ASSAYS
taken by the management ranges from
800 to $500, but to experienced mining
men like James r. Davis, w. H. Web
Der, Roger Knox and many others, who
have examined the vein this week, no
assays are necessary, for the ore is a
genuine sulphide. 1t is worth men
tioning here that there is uniformity
in the manner in which the values in
crease with the appearance of water
in this, district as illustrated on the
Nevada Hills and Fairview Eagle.
The News reporter took his own sam
pies from this new ore shoot on the
Eagle and the returns of $29S.94 and
$273.74 per ton confirmed the opinion
that in this ore shoot the management
has developed another shipper of high
grade; at this point $3.50 ore can be
sorted.
A compressor, engine and pumps will
be ordered for the Fairview Eagle
without delay, and as soon as the sys-
tenn for taking care of the water is
installed. further developments of a
sensational nature may be expected at
this time.

HIKE, THE NEW CAMP,
CAUSE OF STAMPEDE

Hike" is the name of a new town
which it is expected will soon be in exist
ence in Eleven Mile canyon, about IS
miles due west of Wonder. For some
time there has been a party of prospectors
working on a property over there, and as
they were satisfied that they had a mine,
they had intended to keep the matter
quiet and tell only their friends so as to
have a community of their own, first, and
then let in outsiders. The original dis
coverers of the new diggings were Mr.
Baker, brother of w. A. Baker and a
Mr.. Ericsson. They have sunk a shaft on
the ledge of the original find to the depth
of thirty feet, and indications point to
the opening of a great body of ore As
says from the shaft show values from $3.50
down to So During the week the secret
of the existence of the diggings filtered
through the shell and got as far as Won
der and rush to the new FL Dorado

Helnze In Luck Once More

According to the latest reports from
Butte the rich vein of copper ore that
was discovered two weeks ago on the
Lizzie claim of the Davis-Daly COM
pany is ten feet wide and assays eight
six-tenths ounces of silver, while the
copper ranges from SA to $40 per
cent Arrangements have been made
for shipping ore at once to the Washoe
snelter. The Davis DAILY is one of F.
Augustus Heinze's properties.
The strike on the Lizzie claim,
which is believed to be the most i'm
portant yet made in the ground of the
Davis-Daly, was made at a depth of 100
feet. A drift has been started east and
west of the point of intersection.
While not so large vein as the one
in the original crosscut the new find
is impact and rich.

CALAMITY HOWLERS
WILL KEEP QUIET
CONSOLIDATED MINES TO PAY
DIVIDENDS
Statement Authorized by Directorate
of the Company at GoldfieId.
Plans Perfected for the
New Mill

Special to The Herald.
GoLDFIELD, Aug. 1S.-The Review
publishes statement that Bernard Ba-
ruch, the New Yorker who was here last
week to confer with the officers of the
Consolidated Mines company, has re-
turned to New York,
Before his departure it was announced
officially that he had taken up enough
of the stock of the company to cover his
loan to them of million dollars several
months ago, and set at rest once and for
all the canard which has been so preva-
lent for several months to the effect
that Baruch and his associates had Sc
cured control of the Consolidated
All the trustees of the company were
on hand at the meeting, and besides set
tling affairs with Mr.. Baruch the gen.
eral business of the company was thor
oughly gone over. Plans were laid for
future work and appointments which had
been made by General Manager Finch
pending the approval of the officials were
confirmed.
One of the most important moves made
by the Consolidated directorate was the
decision that some time within the next
sixty days a dividend will be paid. This
will be very reasSuring to the calamity
howlers who have long decried the fact
that the company did not distribute its
earnings in preference to making mines.
1t was decided, however, at the meeting
that there were sufficient funds on hand
to carry on the work which has been
outlined and at the same time pay a
substantial dividend. Just what the
amount will be has not been made pub
lie. In the meantime, under the. super
vision of Chief Engineer 'Geddes, the
plans for the new mill are being per-
fected, and when completed the Consoli-
dated will have one of the most up-to-
date milling equipments in the world.

NOW ZINC MINES
ATTRACT ATTENTION
THREE CLAIMS UNDER BOND AND
LEASE
Valuable Property Is on the Salt Lake
Railroad, near Jean, Nevada.
Ore Body Is 100 Feet
Wide

A new mining country is being
opened up about seven miles southwest
of Jean, New, a small station on Sena-
tor Clark's railroad. 1t lies in what is
known as the Yellow Pine mining dis
trict, Lincoln county, Nevada, and is
about the same distance from Good
Springs as it is from Jean. 1t has
been known for years that the country
was rich in zinc, but worthless for the
reason that the metal could not be
worked profitably. Lately appliances
have been discovered and zinc is as
much sought for as is any of the other
metals.
Guy Fruit and ]. R. Macdonald, both
of Rhyolite, New, have had the Monte
Christie group, consisting of three full
claims, under lease and bond from a
man named Kennedy, who discovered
them. Messrs. Fruit and Macdonald
turned their holdings over to Jim Har-
vey, Patsy Clarks expert, for $25O,OOO,
an increase over Fruit & Macdonald's S
bond of 100000.
The Clarks commenced mining, spar
ing no expense in opening up. the ore
body, and before there was shelter for
the men from the hot rays of the desert
or to either cook or sleep the first car
load of ore had been consigned to a re-
duction plant.
The ore body is at least 100 feet wide,
wholly in lime, the course of the vein
northeasterly and southwesterly and
dipping toward the north. A crosscut
tunnel taps the vein from which the
four cars of are were produced. A
winze is being sunk at the mouth of the
tunnel, where fifty-horse power gaso-
line hoist will be installed, although
there are mountains of ore without
having to go below the surface. The
winze is down thirty feet, all in ore.
Clark Is Interested
Two teams haul a car of ore a day
to Jean and freight back. There is no
water at the mine or at Jean, and it is
furnished by the courtesy of Senator
Clark's railroad.
1t is reported that owing to the i'm
mense quantity of zinc ore abounding
in the locality Senator Clark has in
view the building of a branch at the
very earliest possible moment. Vice
president and manager for the senator,
J. Ross Clark, his brother, has visited
the district and he was more than
faVoraDly impressed Win Lne WoIloei
full possibilities.
There is no stampede on for the rea-
son that very few prospectors know
zinc when they see it. The ore here is
white carbonate, and any miner or
prospector not being accustomed to the
character of the ore would pass it up
1t glistens like snow in the burning
sun, and the ore body in the Monte
Christie group samples 81 per cent from
wall to wall, with no returns on BIZ
products.
The Yellow Pine mining district is
one of the largest in the state of Ne
vada, and includes the Potosia, Good
Springs, Sandy and country for miles
tributary to them. and even includes
the rich gypsum deposits of 9S1s per
cent and on which mammoth plant
is being built by the Arden Plaster
company to manufacture the crude ore
into a marketable output. Arden is
twelve miles north of Jean.

Prison Commission.

Three members of the prison com. mission were here Saturday to investi. gate conditions and learn the senti. ment of the people on the question oi prison removal. The members here were: John P. Orme, member of the board of supervisors of Maricopa coun- ty; J. H. Hamill, editor and proprietor of the Globe Daily Silver Belt: and Bracey Curtis, prominent banker of Nogales.
 They arrived Saturday morning and registered at the Gandolfo. They spent a good portion of the day in going through and taking observations of the prison and grounds. devoting the re- mainder of the day to interviewing the interested property holders. One of the conclusions arrived at was that ad- ditional ground was necessary-perhaps 300 feet more on the south would be sufficient for enlargement, should the commission decide to leave the prison here.
 While not expressing opinions as to their positions regarding the choice of prison site, the gentlemen were very favorably impressed, evidently, with the prison, it's management and sur- roundings, with the exception above noted-lack of room for enlargement.
 One thing the members of the com mission learned while here was that the sentiment in favor of prison remov al was not the predominating sentiment of Yuma, by any means. The members left on Sunday mornings train for Phoenix, where the full commission was to hold meeting on Monday.

The UEitad States Agricultural Farm at Yuma.

The United States agricultural eX- pertinent station at Yuma will make some extensive experiments this spring.
 Cotton and sorghum will he planted and the results of the experiments with these plants will be awaited with much interest. Cotton has been experiment. ed with heretofore. but as yet no sor- ghum has been planted. Last year the cotton grew too rapidly and an effort will be made to restrain the growth this year. In the sorghum experiment special note will be taken of the amount of moisture necessary in it's cultiva- tion. A number of forest and experi- mental trees will also be cultivated and planting will begin in about ten days. T. H. Kearney, who has charge of the cotton selection department, with head quarters in Washington, and c. s. Schofeld, who is in charge of the west ern agricultural extension, will visit uIHd OCSdoIObu1Iy UO IOOC IuS pIOSFSSS made.
 Among the trees to be planted will be the rubber tree. Should this tree thrive new and profitable industry will be opened up for Southern Arizo- nona. A number of coffee plants will also be set out.
 To aid in scientific experiments ap- paratus is expected shortly from Wash ington which will be used in determin- ing the moisture requirements for the various plants.
 The experiments are under the gen. eral supervision of Professor Forbes of Tucson, who is at the head of the ex- pertinent station. In addition to the Yuma farm there is also farm at Tempe.
