NEVADA HILLS A BONANZA

Goldfield, Aug. 4-James r. Davis, who,
with W. H. Clark, John A. Kirby, W, V.
Rice, w. H. Weber, James Farrell and
John T. Hodson, owns practically all of
the stock of the Nevada Hills mine at
Fairview, has returned from a month S
absence by way of Seven Troughs and
Fairvtew- Of the new strike in the Fair
view Eagle he was pronounced in his
opinion.
THE Eagle has the lowest workings in
the camp" said Mr.. Davis, land the find
ing of big shoot Of sulphide ores at the
water level proves that the values are not
confined to surface enrichment. We have
never had any doubt of the existence of
ore at great depth, but it is a matter of
satisfaction that it has been proven
went down the Eagle shaft, and found a
big shoot of very rich Ore-Slver sui
phideS which carry a large amount of
gold. The sulphides occur at a junction
of two veins, and the ore has been pene-
trated for four feet, every bit of which =
strictly in the high-grade class. The hang
ing wall has not been reached, and no
idea can be formed of the extent of the
vein. The water came in so fast that II
was necessary to bulkhead the drift and
close down until pump can be installed.
The ore was encountered on the 2fO-foot
level. while drifting on the east and west
vein"
Won't Sell Nevada Hills.
What about Nevada HTls-have you
sold the mine?"
THE Nevada Hills is not for sale. We
have had several offers for the mine but
have refused to entertain any of them.
Mr.. Weber has given his undivided atten-
ton to the property, and mas developed
mine which we believe will outlive any of
us He discovered the first piece Of float,
on the strength of which we bought the
mine, and found the first ore, and has
never driven a drift, raise, winze or cross
cut that failed to encounter ore None

depend upon it that the mine will re
main in the same hands for a long time TO
come. We have 1000 sacks of ore piled
up at the several tunnels, and every chute
in the mine is full Our shipments have
averaged $40 a ton. But a short time ago
we received $4,000 for single carload,
and S11 900 for another. In taking out the
ore which we have shipped we have done
no stopping.
Six Feet of High Grade.
Besides the high-grade, we have block
ed out thousands of tons of $40 and 500 ore:
At the bottom of the winze from tunnel
No. D. which is sixty-five feet deep ana
21O feet below the surface, we nave dflIt-
ed east on the ore, and now nave SIX
foot face that averages 500 ton, as u
goes into the sacks. This shoot is ouU
feet west of the Knox lease, and ore has
been developed for the entire distance
When the lease expires we Will SILK the
shaft to a depth of 800 feet and connect
with the WlnZe, WHICH We az ~" ~
ping down, having set up hoist in the
tunnel. This work will ali De IN ore eA-

May Build Railroad.
From tunnel No. west We have ore for
] 900 feet, so much we can't handle IL.
TRANSPORTATION is the most Yexatious thing
we have to contend with. 1t is impossl-
BILE to get teams enough, and we are com
PEELED to stack the ore up. | believe that
a smeIter Will be built at Walker Lake TO
handle the YeringtOn copper ores and we
may build an independent railroad ana
ship to that point Il
Yes the Knox lease has a fine body OF
ore. They were very near to the vein on
the 200 level when L left camp, and Will
then have three places in when 10 WORN
On the $50 level they are breaking Spieh-
did ore in the west drift, but IN the east
drift it is not so rich. They have a splen-
did equipment, machine drills and good
hoist and compressor plant, ana eInp.oy
eighty men. Our Mr.. Kirby is interested
in the leasing company.
Mr. Davis did not visit the Nevada Fair
view the Snyder property, but was IN
formed in camp that it is making a pig
mine There are six hoists WORKING IN lne
camp three of which are on the bronze
darV Hump. The company works on the
Hmm are in shipping ore and Jarvis also
has ore in his lease on the Eagle.
Likes Seven Trouehs.
E,,,ervtbing was closed down in Seven
Troug6s on account of a demand of the
miners for increased wages, but MI "a,

differences. The Seven Troughs Wonder
and the Kindergarten, in both OF when
Jesse Knight is interested, are great
