have their own reduction plants, and
in the end get more money for their
ores, and get it quicker, and at no
distant date you will see many of the
Nevada mines, now dependent on the
shelters, thoroughly independent of
everything except the government
mints, and that is the way mining
should be done anyway. One of the
most notable instances of this is at
Round Mountain, 16 miles north of
Manhattan. Round Mountains first
discoveries were in the spring of 1906,
and now it has several mills at work
However, it is this way with many of

although the public hears little of it.

actual gold on the premises, even their
work is hardly noticed beyond their
immediate vicinity
ssIn northern Nevada / found con
ditions quite good. This is the better
part of Nevada for future mining. At
Fairview I had a look at Nevada
Hills. 1t is an elegant property and
most ably managed by Mr.. Weber,
Weber, one of the best mining men
the country has furnished, and of ex-
p~erience before he came to Nevada.
The possibilities are that many of the
other properties at Fairview, now un-
der moderate development, will final
ly make good. Water is still hauled
to Fairview from Westgate, twelve
miles distant. A well is being sunk
in the fat a few miles from Fairview

why this was not attempted some time
ago.. The talk of a railroad being
built from Fallon to Fairview will
most certainly not result in anything
of the kind being done for some time.
In fact such action is quite a ways
off, in my opinion. If there were only
another Nevada Hills at Fairview, ]
think between the two of them they
could and would build their W road.
but to get the other Nevada Hills is
now the mighty question.
"Gold Park, So miles southeast of
Fairview, is going to make an ele-
CANT mining district. 1t is, however,
owned exclusively by the Gold Park
Mining company of Boston. This COM
pany owns the stream of water, a
great uedl u patented SrouHu, ana
the TOWNSHIP, which latter, instead of
being owned for the purpose of sell
ing lots, is owned for the express pur-
pose of keeping lots from being sold,
as they do not want Nevada's worst
affection, that of selling town lots. to
touch Gold Park district. The Gold
Park Mining company expects to have
its new mill completed in a few weeks
at which time the ores, all gold. will
be reduced to bullion on the ground,
and another of Nevada's gold prop
critics will be Independent of smelters
and escape the cost of transportation
thereto.
"Battle Mountain is gonig to make
a very successful mining district and
in the most legitimate way, the alb
sence of boom and boosting being
most particularly noticeable. It's ge-
ographical conditions are most excel
lent, and many mines worked profit
ably there in the early days are proof
that the formations can make good.
1T has unusually fine transportation
facilities, and the water and fuel
problems are most easily and cheaply

Mountain is easily obtained.o
