FORTY TON ORE SHIPMENT
FROM THE FAIRVIEW Mine
Seven Troughs District has More High
Grade Ore than Any Other
Camp in Nevada

A forty-ton ore shipment from the
Seven Troughs Mining company, was
made from Lovelock last Monday 70
the Selby smelters Of the American
smelling and Refining company, while
about one ton of high grade that il
expected to bring nearly $4,000, was
shipped by express to the same com
.pany, To fill the forty-ton car that
had been. set out at Lovelock to re-
ceive the ore, only about half Of the
ore that was stored here was requv
ed. A&
Mine superintendent Ellithorpe has
gone with the ore. He will witness
the sampIing at Hazen and then 90
with it to the coast and remain there
until the check sampling has been
done at the sampler at the smelter
z "While the ore that has been ship
ped will be sampled and assayed at
dazen, states Manager Friedman, we
shall not release the, figures on the
ore until the cheek sampling at the
smelter has been done and we know
just exactly what We are going to re-
ceive from the shipment. But l prom
Use you now that just as soon as
know what the ore 10 going to bring,
you shall have the correct figures, no
matter what they are or how much
Mr.. Friedman in an interview in
salt Lake City said that he had been
advised by letter from Provo that the
Knight interests in the company with
the exception of Mr.. Lester Mangum,
who still retains his original interest
in the company have sold out and
that they stand ready to assign their
POSITIONS to the directorate. Uncle
Jesse Knight, his son, J. William
Knight and r. E. Allen have notified
Mr.. Friedman that they are no longer
stockholders, and az all the directors,
- Jesse Knight as president and X.
e. Allen secretary and treasurer OF
the company, they win all step down
audited and meeting called for the
reorganization of the board.
81 don't want the impression to go
out that there is the least. friction
or the least suspicion Of ill feeling ex-
sting between myself and the Provo
members Of the hord. of directors, -

[ want anyone to get the idea as has
been repeatedly suggested to me dur
'ng the few hours that l have been
IN town that feel sore or piqued over
he fact that these interests have been
selling their interests. They put their
good money into the proposition at the
beginning and they have a perfect
eight to sell if they want to. In the
reorganization of the board the three
vacancies to be filled will be select.

stop will be made until the $50 foot
mark is reached, when cross-cut will

indicates that we are just reaching the

am ready to wager that we will have
richer ore and more of it at the $50

An automobile ride through the

Winnemucea team upon his arrival at
Lovelock was to have been given q
ticket which entitled him to order
whatever he wanted at one of the best
restaurants in Lovaiock, free Of
charge. A good time had been. ar
ranged which was interrupted because
f the heavy rain which rendered the
Lovelock diamond too soft to be used
"A good game Of ball is promised the
local enthusiasts next Sunday, when
the home team goes up against the
