National Development company has lust
returned from pilgrimage into Nevada
hat has been fraught with more than or
binary Importance to his company. He
has evidently buckled on to one of the
best new things in the way Of a lead and
copper discovery that has been captured
by anybody during the year. There are
some detail matters to attend to Vet and
until these are disposed Of he saws he
cannot discuss the proposition out loud
Just before heading for home he took a
run down to FairvieW 10 note the prog-
ress OF developments at the Nevada
falrNleW cOmpanys property. He saws
the NO. tunnel and shaft workings are
giving better account of themselves
every day and he considers that barring
the Nevada Hills bonanza, no one in thai
country can boast Of a better sboU-ine
than that exposed in the possessions of bis
company.
The Nevada-Fairview has never had
much TO say about its properties - said
Mr.. Levy, but i am sure that we are
making as good q showing as most of
them, 10 say the least We have ore ana
ore that we believe will pay TO shin. we
are not opened right to do regulation mi

a shipment, anyhow, Just to show Won

pha shaft This is the highest grade of
copper yet shipped from the camp. Sam
pies of cuprite running So per cent are
being found with greater frequency and
some native copper is also being en-
countered. This leads local mining men
to believe that the great bodies of low
grade copper which are now being mined
are but the cappings for high grade min
eral which win be found at greater depth
the values having leached to the lower
depths.
