Telling Points.
Special to The Tribune.

FARRELL, New, May 2I-The latest
acquisition to the district OF Seven
Troughs in tho shape of new camp IS
the town Of Farrell, situated about
seven miles northeast of Vernon, and
located at the entrance to what has
been known as Stone House canyon, the
latter name being taken from the pres
enco in the canyon Of stone cabln
which was erected some thirty odd
wears ago. The new camp had its IN
ception five days ago, commencing win
n population Of nothing, am at tins
writing there arc forty tents on the
ground, and several frame buildings GO
ing up, while every day sees additions
to the community being made at an
astonishing rate. The company IN cnaIge
Of the work Of laying off the townslte
has had surveyors on the ground Tor
some time, and the necessary plats have
all been prepared with view 10 accom-
modating the rush which the next nlne
ty DAYS seems to warrant on the part
Of the promoters.
Lovelock has been the gateway so far
into the Seven Troughs district, but the
FurrelliCes arc TO import their goods
from Rve Patch, station on the South
ern Pacific twenty miles east Of Loyyo-
lock. since the haul is several miles
sborter and there is n much better
grade, the summit amounting 10 com

which is necessary to cross In Rett1nR
into the country from Doveioeks. nS
usual accommodations IN tho shape OF
TRANSFORMATION via autos and stages VIII
he nut on from Rye Patch to, the new
camp, and already the enterprlslng pro
motcrs are running free stage from
Vornon and Mazuma to Farrell, when
is kept busy hauling prospective pusi,
ness men and miners to the scene OF
activity. A number or men wen hhomn
in the mining world have quietly Dech
acquiring ground IN the vicinity OF the
new camp for some time past. and the
showing. speaking from mining stanu-
point. seems TO Justify the claims OF the
parties that this section is to be pan
ner camp in the course OF the next ItM
months. The general formation Oh the
country is that Of porphyrltlc quart,
the veins, as rule, running east ana
west. and the dykes crossing at rlght
angles. The country, as whole, is an
easy one to work-that is, 1T is not or
precipitous nature-and the road TO the
railroad already referred to makes the
question of shipping ore an easy mat
ter TO dispose Of in regard to charges.
What might be called the leadlng
strike has been made recently on, wnat
i
of nine claims located by ex-senator K
s Flaniqan. his partner, James Dunn,
botb of whom are well known as eapl-
faGs+s of Reno, W. f. Farrell and Mar,
lin Gotisolo. This group is. located
about three quarters of a mile from the
new camp, and the owners have, IN the
course Of the sinking OF forty'tooc
shaft. a drift of thirty feet and tuh-
mel over 100 feet long, exposed series
of lodges which Will run all tne way
/ from 500 to so per ton. This quar-
tatte also owns the six claims upon
which the new townsite IS located ana
! il is not at all improbable, from the
| indications, that there may, be countess
millions underneath the plat, which is
now a busting scene of activity from
dawn till dark. Others who are among
| the pioneers in the way of mining IN
! clude Harry Henry, Charles Wider! . d.
| Crotty, DR.. F, A. Pruett and William
| Synnott. and each Of them possesses
ground which will be shipping ore IN
! side of the next month or two. Like
many mining men of the class who are
not millionaires at the start, they have
/ heen waiting for some one to come IN
! and provide the means TO market thelI
! orc and since the day has arrived and
! tbev have what Is technically known as
- the goods" it will not be, very long
f. before ore wagons will be In demand
/ One of the best factors in the make
up of the new camp is the presence OF
= mapnifcent stream of water, enough
IN srnplv quite a city. and this in itself
! in the land of sagebrush-ls almost
enough to guarantee the success OF the
new Damn, even If the desirable ore
| was not in evidence. With the pres
! ence of both in unlimited quantities, Inc
! future of Farrell seems TO be assured
