of the county of Nye for a donation
out of the town fund of Tonopah OF
$1,000, said amount to be expended

INYo COUNTY FAIR
WILL BE A BIG EVENT

The Inyo county, California, fair,
which will be held at Bishop, October
18th to 18th, inclusive. will probably
be attended by many people from
this section, and this is as It should
be. And Nye county should be well
represented In the mining exhibit
which will be held at the fair, as
other sections Of Nevada will have
good exhibits there. This county can
make as fine a showing as any OF
them, and the opportunity to effect
ually advertise the resources of Nye
should not be overlooked.
The citizens of Bishop have raised
a fund of over $4,000 to be used ex-
clusively as purses and premiums.
There will be live stock exhibits from
both California and Nevada sections,
agriculture and horticultural displays,
Tonopah bonanza. [volume] (Butler City [i.e. Butler], Nev.) 1901-1909, 1908-10-10

showing every product of orchard,
farm, vineyard and dairy, and a spec
ial pavilion has been constructed for
the advantageous display of the Inyo
county mineral products. Mono

exhibit, and the invitation has been
extended to all the Nevada counties
to participate likewise.

commercial exhibits, there will be
sports a-plenty, as there will be four
days of horse racing, baseball, etc.
The Tonopah Mining company ball
team, the Eagles-Elks and the Mon
tana teams will join in the fun and
help entertain the visitors. The Ton
opah ten-piece band has been hired
by the management of the fair for
the four days. Other features will be
a big barbecue on Friday afternoon,
the last day of the fair, and on Sat
urday there will be a mammoth
shooting tournament. This shoot
will be afield and ducks, geese, noun
tain and valley quail, snipe and cot
ton tail rabbits will all figure on the
score card, the shoot TO decide which
side pays for a game supper. Per-
mission has been secured to shoot
over an area of nearly twelve miles
square, with Bishop as the central
point.
Special rates will be given on the
railroads for the fair and an excur-
sion train will leave Goldield and

BURKE NINE MAY
PROVE A BONANZA

Ore similar to the ore from the
famous Ophir mine of Virginia City
has been discovered on a ledge n the
Burke district, five miles north of
Virginia City and it is possible that
the Burke district viii in the near
future become one of the big mining
districts of Nevada. During the
early days of the Comstock, James
Burke, the well known farmer resid-
ing near Steamboat, located several
claims in this district, and started to
work the property, taking in two
fasteners, cousins of General Butler
of Massachusetts,, as his partners.
These two young men died shortly
after the work of development start
ed and Mr.. Burke did nothing more
with the property until recently.
A few weeks ago Mr.. Burke's son,
William S. Burke, and his son-in-
law, James George, went to work on
the old Burke property and are now
sinking a shaft which they believe
will tap the big ledge discovered by
James Burke during the prosperous
days of the Com3tock. They now
have copper ore that will run more
than 10 per cent and hope to strike
this big gold and silver bearing
ledge, which when first p%rospected
by James Burke, went more than
$1100 per ton clear across its face.
Mr. Burke states that McRoss, the
mining engineer for the Consolidated
Virginia, has become interested in
the property and that within a few
day he will visit it and may take an
option on it. The ore now being
mined is similar to the rich ore taken
from the Ophir mine in Virginia City
years ago and for this reason 1t is
believed that the Burke mine may
prove a bonanza.
