HAVE RICH ORE.
Workman and Davis Have Shipper in
the National.

Bringing with them some rich
specimens of ore from National camp
near Buckskin mountain, J. L. Work.
man and Fred L. Davis arrived in
Winnemucca in their auto last night.
One of the specimens weighs fully
fifty pounds, and 1t shows plenty OF
ruby, horn and chloride of silver.
The ore will go fully $500 per ton
and is from a ledge three feet wide.
Messrs Workman and Davis have
sunk shaft to depth of so feet
and the ore at that depth retains the
bonanza values that were found on
top. Twelve inches of the ledge is
ore of shipping grade. It is their
intention to begin drifting on tho
ledge from the bottom OF the shaft
and it will be an easy task to break
down enough of the rich stuff to
make shipment at an early date.
Already, according to Mr.. Davis, they
have taken out enough ore to pay
all the expense of sinking the shaft.

ENTHUSIASTIC ON EAIRyIEw

Sam Crane, the New York Life in
surance agent, returned from Fair
view this week and says the Nevada
Hills is the greatest mine in Nevada.
Coming in he passed ten teams with
an average of ten tons of ore each
from this mine.
He states that Pittsburg capitalists
have purchased the Alameda claim.
near the Mizpah, and it will hereafter
be known as the Fairview Pittsburg.
These claims have 24-foot ledge
on the surface extending the entire
length o. both claims, with a two-foot
vein assaying from 500 to $3.50.
Mr.. Crane says the street car will
be running from Fairview up the
gulch to the Nevada Hills mine with
in thirty days. A gasoline engine
is to be used to generate the cleo

l.. L. Downs came In from Raw

tic over the developments. He says
lease was let one morning and at
3 o'clock in the afternoon they began
sacking ore. He states that twelve
sacks of ore shipped from one lease
returned $4,000 and nearly every
sack goes from 5000 to $500.
Mr.. Downs and C. J. Pancabarl put
up the first building in Rawhlde and
opened a store, carrying a full line
of groceries and miners supplies. The
name of the firm is the Rawhide Mer-
camille Co..
Ben Smith also came in yesterday
and says a blast was put in on a
lease and blew out the rock three
and half feet deep, which ran 5000
ounces in silver and 13 ounces in
gold.
And Notwithstanding these reports,
the people at Rawhide have all along
been endeavoring to keep down the
excitement and are still trying to
prevent a boom.
Budd Williams spent a few days
the past week in Regent and Raw
hide. He and Hank Fister sold their
feed yard and water business in Re-
gent and Rawhide to Catterson Bros,
who took possession Tuesday.
Mr., Williams says that Rawhide
bears quite prosperous air and that
people are getting in and buying
town lots and preparing to star
many branches of business. A bank
is among the enterprises in contem
plation.

When the law was enacted it car
ried an emergency clause which pro-
vided for its operation upon its being
signed by the governor or within five
days without his signature. The
governor, George L. Sheldon, though
elected by the republicans upon a
so-called a%nt-railroad platform last
fan. or the stump during the cam
paign advocated a gradual scale OF
fares rather tnan a flat twO-cent law,
believing the latter would be confis-
catory In many eases OF small or
branch roads. So when the legisla-
ture passed the bin providing for a
nat two-cent rate, Governor sheldon
hesitated TO sign the bill, thinking TO
be consistent with his prediction
course. But when he considered that
without his signature the law, which
the people demanded. might be un'
constitutional owing To the wording
OF the emergency clause, he decided
to sign It rather than place himself
in the way Of what the majority Of
the legislature had deemed a wise
measure.
