The Men Who Are Financing
Some of the County's
New Activities

Milwaukee, Wis, passed through Fallon
Monday on their way to Fairview. There
would be nothing out of the ordinary in
this announcement if it were not fol the
prominence OF the men in question, and
the fact that they are weaving them
selves into the financial aud industrial
fabric of Churchill county, so fast filling
up with strangers that il is becoming a
uard matter to keep track Of them all.
Mr.. Morgan is treasurer Of the Neva-
la Crown Mining Company, and Mr..
Madden is one Of the directors of that
company. That in itself is not so won
dsrfnl, but when it is known that Mr..
Benedict, OF the firm OF Hayes, Mon
nette, Benedict X Smith. is the presi
dent OF the Nevada Crown. and that A.
Z. Blatz, president of .he Val. Blatz
Brewing Company of Milwaukee, is
vice president, and NJ. j. MonHette a
director, the fact begins to dawn upon
the reater that Messrs. Morgan and
Walden are associated with very
strong company. But there is more to
be said. Y. b. Leonard, cashier oil the
Nevada Bank x Trust Company, is the
western manager for the Nevada Crown
Mining Company, and it is limited that
Alessrs. Benedict, Blaiz, Morgan, Mad
den, Mounette, Leonard, S. W. Col
lins of fairyiew, ct al, are the
power behind the Nevada Bank & Trust
Company OF Fairyiew, the Merchants q
Miners Bank OF Rawhide and the First
National Bank OF Fallon yet to begin
business). And that bears out the
statement that they are identified with
the financial interests OF the county. As
ior tue Industrial, it need only be said
that the Nevada Crown Mining Conn
pany's properties are situated in the
Fairyiew Mining District, this county.
fhe company owns nineteen claims,
comprising 334 acres, in nnquestionably
the strongest known mineral zone in
the State.
The great Snyder dyke, which trav-
erses this property for distance of 5000
feet, outcropping the greater portion Of
that distance, is traceable 10 the now
famous Nevada Hills mine, and is un-
doubtedly the mother lode Of the Fair
view district. The numerous quartz
veins and smaller dykes leading into it
from practically all directions are proof
positive of this assertion.
The physical conditions of this prop
erty show strong indications of large
and permanent ore bodies being pres
ent, the outeroppings of some of the
ledges standing several feet high.
The veinsand ore bodies, when opened
up by small, shallow workings, are sim
liar in appearance and texture to the
Nevada Hills, Nevada Fairview and
many other properties along this extern
siye mineral-bearing formation, which
gives assurance that the same conditions
accompanying the disposition OF the ore
prevails,
This is shown by values obtained by
mine samples that range from a trace
up to 1862 80, giving an average OF $50. 20
in silver and gold to the ton.
At the present time the main work
ings ae confined to shaft forty yfive
feet deep on the Gold Crown No, 4
claim. These workings are on d cross
vein which is composed principally oi
decomposed quartz and tale, ranging in
width from three to seventeen feet; al
the depth of about twenty five feet the
shaft cut a stringer of brown tale about
two inches wide, dipping to the south
which has the appearance OF b ing al
apex feeder TO an ore shoot. In driv
ing a drift three feet to the south this
seam of tale increased to fourteen
inches, from which an average sample
gave the following results:

In the bottom OF the shaft eros
drift exposes the vein fifteen feet Ii
width, averaging $3.50 In silver anC
gold.
". L. Cooper, one of the best know
mining engineers in the west, has jus
made a fine report on this property.
MIR, Morgan and his associates pro
pose to develop their property to TIN
fullest extent; and when it is furthe
known that Mr., Morgan organized TIN
Goldfeld Leasing Company; NJ. j
Monnette, president; IL. Benedict, I
director, and Mr.. Morgan, treasurer
and general manager, it goes without
saying that there will be something
doing soon In The camp of Fairview.
And while we are on the subject, just
a few more words for Fairview, "the
camp with the ore.
Fairview Is just about two years old
