trict, and sensational discoveries to
attract the attention for the time be-
ing, the depression in prices nipping
e~verybody's toes, banks su%spending,
values shrinking and the end not yet
in sight, it is a good time to contem-
plate the condition of affairs on Ne
vada Hills, where no official daily re-
ports are sent out, no information
heralded except every three months
when the dividend checks are dis
tributed, but where the work of max
ing these dividends continues with
clock-like regularity and where 80
miners, under the direction Of Man
ager w. H. Weber, are delying
every hour of the twepty-four for the
marvellous riches that are yielded by
the worlds greatest gold and silver
mine.
The Mohawk is shut down, Con
solidated shares are on the toboggan
slide, carrying all other Nevada Sc
curities with them, including Nevada
Hills, and other Fairview stocks that
are suffering the general decline,
though in less proportion than the
Goldfields, but our great mine goes
on as ever, producing and shipping
more than 1000 sacks every day of
the week and months, of ore that
nets the company $4,000 per ear.
Here is a sight that is good to look
upon at the present moment; here
is the mine that has not been victim
lied by the bad management If avar-
icious operators; here is the mine
that is not affected by the stock-job-
bling OF a few m~anipulators at San
Francisco; here the one bright spot
in the entire State.
Just at this time, when the invest
or does not know which way to turn.
the Nevada Hills mine is the beacon
light for this district, surrounded by
its dozens of bright prospects and
half-dozen budding mines, in addi-
ton to the several that have proven
ore shoots from which they may ship
to the smelter. The whole makes a
showing for the camp that shines
brighter as the general situation be-
comes darker. As a matter of fact
Fairview stands more than ever pre-
eminent in Nevada by contrast with
its sister camps. And it all comes
from the fact that we are able to de-
liver the goods; starting in with the
Nevada Hills as a grass-roots shipper,
the subsequent Developments have
followed in such rapid succession and
with such telling effect that the name
of Fairyiew has become a SYNONYM
for real mining and the camp is to-
day above and superior to all Others
in the State, in the mind of the in
vesting public.
But when We say that the Nevada
Hills is going along in the same old
way, we speak of il as a producine
mine, with its $4,000, 900 in ore ac-
