MOUNTAIN VIEW
HAS RICH ORE

The wonderful showing at Mountain
View at this writing Is almost beyond
belief. says the Yerington Times. The
ore body in the property Of the Wilson
COLD Mines company has been proven
for a width Of rs feet with no apparent
signs of Its pinching put. This vast kid
ney of ore in its entirety will pay to
ship: in fact. II appears at this time as
II the property would be on a dividend
paying basis before the close of the
year. The great quantity of or is such
that 1t is quite likely that work will
have to be temporarily suspended In
order to build a road to the mine so as
to be able to transport the pay streak
pardon the word-to the mills.
The compan has in mind the erection
of a mill on the Walker river to treat
their ores. Already there is enough in
sight and extracted to keep a mill busy
continuously for over a year. Now. IL
that is not the most wonderful record in
the state of Nevada, taking the Of
the camp into consideration. we have
spent our best years in Nevada mining
camps to learn nothing.
Mountain View. at its present rate.
will certainly start1e the world as p
gold camp. The mineralized zone is be-
tween 2 and 8 miles long and in the
neighborhood of 5000 feet wide. Not
very extensive you may say. but this Is
a case where good things come in small
packages. The Wilson Gold Mines COM
pany alone has a mine that will support
a thriving community. But II is not
alone. The Big Twenty, which is ira
versed by the east extension of the rich
Wilson vein is being opened up by leas-
ers, one of whom struck high grade i'm
mediately after beginning operations.
Indications are favorable that every
leaser on this property will be hand
somely rewarded.
Another property. the Shirley c.. has
a splendid showing. 1t. too. Will make
good IL 1t has not already done so.
Thad Hoppin and Harry Beers are
working the Piute and Shoshone claims.
They are confident that their labors will
be rewarded. Both are mining men Of
ability and place the greatest confidence
in Mountain View. The latter was for
years in the employ OF Chas. ID. Lane.
He does not hesitate to say that Noun
tain View is one of the biggest things
~
he has ever seen.
Ed Graham has taken a lease on a
block of the Carydon claim. He is al
ready at work opening up the ground.
If this new camp does not add a few
more names to Nevada's list of million
aires there will be some capable mining
men greatly surprised. Every leaser in
that section stands an excellent chance
to come out of there well supplied with
wealth.
A boom may be looked for any time.
Just now the attention Of the public is
being devoid to Rawhide. itself a won
derful camp. Witha1 Mountain View has
a showing which the great Rawhide can
not duplicate. Mountain View will soon
make a bid for supremacy. 1t Is entitled
to become one of Nevada's greatest
camps. The Times believes 1t will.
DEvrLoP1nMr WORK 1Esu1UD
Work has been resumed on the Red
Top Fraction under the SUPPLEMENTARY
of w. r. Christy. with Frank p.
Marisch acting as consulting engineer.
The shaft on the property was sunk to
a depth of $50 feet before the labor
troubles occurred and some high value
stringers were cut. The company also
owns the Daybreak n Lucky Bill
fraction, on each of which development
work has been done. At a recent meet
ing of the stockholders James E.. Powe
was chosen president of the company:
John w. Mccarthy, vice president, and
w r Chrfsty secretary and treasurer.
