surface cut, it's shippings maintained
regularly and without cessation from
the start, with an average value at
the smelter of 1884 per ton, divi-
dend of ten cents per share within
eight months, and four such divi-
dends, aggregating $500, 900, within
eighteen months-when this young
camp gave to the mining industry
such producer as this, the record
of mining was broken and new rec
ord established.
What will the mining world say #
we do it again?
Is it possible that the world-beater,
for production, can produce another
mine to maintain such record for
production and dividends?
The answer is that once having
eclipsed the rival camps in this re-
spect, the slogan Of Fairview is
Nothing impossible" for this dis
trict.
While we cannot predict another
Nevada Hills for the camp, in view
of this slogan, we must admit that
the latest surface strike of the camp
is equally as good as the one that
caused treasury fiotation of $4,000
shares at $1.00 per share to be ten
times over-subscribed within one
week. Looking backward the differ
ence between the latest sensation
here and the Nevada Hills of the pres
ent is but eighteen months of time
to develop and take out ore for divi-
dends.
The Mizpah claim is now the Gym
osure of all eyes.
Two and one-fourth miles due
south of the Nevada Hills, lies the
mining property that may become it's
rival royal. We know what the Bon
ANA of the camp has done. We saw
the management take from surface
cut and ship carloads of ore averag-
ing 1854 per ton at the snelter, to
be followed by hundreds of carloads
as the ore shoot was followed down.
That is a real grass-root mine. Now
we cannot say that the Mizpah will
do this, but we do know that it looks
like a Nevada Hills today. The
ground broken ten days ago, and an
ore shoot has been opened at the
surface, SO rich in values as to make
it possible to sack $500 ore today.
From no other property in the State
but the Nevada Hills has such ore
been taken from an ore shoot bullying
at the top of the mother earth.
The discovery is on strong ledge
that has the characteristic strike on
the Lodges of the district northwest
and southeast-almos entirely across
the Mizpah, at an angle which gives
that claim seven hundred feet of the
outcrop. The vein has been opened
at several points, and at each the ore
is so extremely rich, the shoot takes
such a permanent form at the sur
face and is SO large that the discovery
has taken rank with the Nevada
Hills strike, and bears every indica-
ton of yielding shipping ore from the
! top of the ground down. At its wild
est point there is two feet of high
grade ore, with strata of tale and
gangue matter on each side; the
I gangue matter is filled with scatter
ed soft quartz; bromide of silver
running in values thousands of dol.

strictly sulphide quartz, and the
plentiful specimens, brought int
camp by the sackful, have created
q sensation not surpassed by any ex-
element in the history of the camp
1t is not in the least to say that the
Mizpah can sack and ship ore today

while the average across more thar
two feet runs $500; it is no trouble
to pick specimens of the bromide orc
that will go $4,000 to the ton.
The discovery was made by Sam
Watkins, who undertook the surface
prospecting of the Mizpah and At
lanta claims, the TWO that form the
group. on an agreement that he
should show $40 ore in place Tt
say that he has given the owners
more than he promised is drawing il
mild. As a result of his work he will
have substantial interest in prop.
