SEVEN TROUGHS
BOOSTERS HERE
Members of Publicity Associa-
ton Hold Business Confer
enCeS With Local Men.

number OF the officers and directors
of the Seven TrOughs District Publicity
association were in conference with To-
cal interests in the mines of the Sever
Troughs camps in this city yesterday
This association represents Farrell
Vernon, MaZuma, Seven Troughs and
Lovelock. and il is doing everything il
possibly can in a legitimate way to at
tract capital and encourage investment
in the mines of the rich mineral region
mentioned
Among the Nevada men who are in
the city working up an interest in the
association are Frank Egan, its presi-
dent; George l.. Jordan, vice presi-
dent; Clinton D. Ray of the directorate
and Mr.. Baldwin, formerly a Cripple
Creek ore buyer, the representative OF
John Harnan, chief owner in the Maui
ma Hills bonanza property.
Meetings were held yesterday morn
ing and again in the afternoon at the
offices of Captain o. A. Tibbetts and
DR.. j. j. Snider, and the objects and
aims of the association were discussed
with quite number of local operators
who have large interests in the various
camps of the district. 1t is not the pur-
pose of the association to boost any
particular property or camp In the dis
trict, but it is determined that the
world shall know what has been accom-
pIished there; what the opportunities
for legitimate and profitable investment
are. and the entire membership is
pledged to contribute funds and work
in harmony to make the district what
they know il is entitled to be, namely.
one of the biggest, if not the very best
and richest, producing sections in
the entire state of Nevada. The asso-
citation is Differed by a crew of Operat-
ers who have spent their own money in
helping to develop the mines, and they
are hustlers from the ground up. They
are building up a publicity campaign
fund of several thousands Of dollars,
but not a penny of il is TO be used in
Misrepresentation.
1T is not necessary to either lie
about or exaggerate the merits of the
Seven Troughs country" said a menu
Der of the association during the after
noon, "but we have now reached a
stage where the assistance of big men
and big money is desirable. We are
going to work on the proposition that
everybody is from Missouri, and that il
will be necessary to show them. We
are going to invite investigation, and
before We get through we are going to
get everything we seek. we are going
TO have our mines magnificently
equipped. as they deserve to be, and
we are going to have big mills to ham
die the world of splendid milling ore
that we have already developed and
which we know exists in limitless guam
tity throughout the district for dis
lance of eight by not less than fifteen
miles. We are going to show that the
mines have the rich classes of ore as
we'll as the milling grades, and we are
prepared to show now that the goods
are there and that nothing but means
for handling them stands between the
properties and a wealth of dividends.
That is what we are hustling for, and
nothing can head us off. Salt Lake is
largely interested in the Seven Troughs
district, and Utah men have done much
to prove the merits of our mines. We
are now going to carry the war into
Egypt. so to speak, and make the world
understand what we have got"
