values shrinking and the end not yet
in sight. 1t is a good time to contem-
plate the condition of affairs on Me-
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 90
miners, under the direction of Man
ager w. H. Weber, are delving
every hour of the twenty-four for the
marvellous riches that are yielded by
the worlds greatest gold and silver
mine.
The Mohawk is shut down, Con-
sofidated 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 car.
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 of avar-
acious operators; here is the mine
that is not affected by the stock-job-
bing of few manipulators 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-
tion 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 matter of fact
Fairview stands more than ever pre-
eminent in Nevada by contrast with
It's 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 Fairview has become 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 it as a producing
mine, with it's $3,O00,0OO in ore ac-
tnally blocked out between the tun-
mel No. and the surface; this ore
reserve was demonstrated months
ago, and since then the breaking of
the Slopes has simply been in proper
ton to the capacity of the freight
teams TO haul away the output. But
the development work has never
stopped for moment, and while the
public has marvelled at the ore re-
serve demonstrated in less than a
year, the management has continued
the exploration work, until the works
are open on three sides of SIS 1000, 900
in high grade values
And still the mine is doing more
than holding it's own in production
and exploration work that increases
the ore reserve. New strikes are
constantly being made, and the rich
ness of the mine is constantly unfold
ing itself in new directions and in
enlarged proportions. Occasionally
demonstration is made that affects
adjoining properties, as in the case
OF the showing made west of the
fault several weeks ago, chronicled
in the News. and Of which we shall
hear much more in the near future,
as soon as development work can be
prosecuted at that point.
A strike has been made this week
in the east drift from tunnel No. S,
where the ore shoot is developed in
big form, and with values running
into the hundreds; the Importance OF
this strike may be measured properly
by those only who watched the search
for the ore in tunnel No. a year
ago. At that time very little depth
had been obtained and this deep
crosscut was expected to open the
ore at the 16O-foot level, demonstrate
