OF FAIRvIEW
Joe Jarvis and J. A. Pearce
Acquire 2OO-Foot Lease
on the Rich Mizpah
Machinery Will Soon Arrive
for the Famous Nevada
Crown Property

During the past week things have
been happening in Fairyew which will
10 much to bring the camp to the fore.
Messrs. Morgan and Madden, owners of
the Nevada Crown group, paid the camp
and their property visit and while
here gave the Crowns very thorough
examination, the outcome OF which was
that they concluded that the showings
justified them in going ahead in radi-
cal way, and they have placed orders
for machinery with which to push the
work with greater rapidity. Mr.. Fred
Young, the man in charge OF the prop
erty, is now in Goldfeld looking after
the shipment OF the machinery. As
soon as installed the company will in
crease their working force TO twenty-five
or thirty men. Judge Madden said that
Falryiew was one of the most promising
camps he had ever visited, and his ex-
perience covers the country from Mexico
10 Alaska. He says that the ledges are
pronounced and carry metal in permar-
rnt form. He said further that the
Crowns in his estimation were worth
all the district of Rawhide combined.
Joe Jarvis and J. A. Pearce on Friday
'losed lease on the Mizpah estate.
whereby they acquired two hundred
feet of workings to the west from the
iunnel wall, at point about four hun
lred feet from the mouth. Mr.. Peafce
mas demonstrated that this Is the point
where the large vein opened up on the
surface, and which carries high values,
will show in the lower workings. This
lease extends over period of eighteen
months and both Mr.. Jarvis and Mr..
pearce say that the work will be carried
N In an aggressive Iaahasr. The leased
| ground will be worked 10 tnc s,pface
md to a depth OF at least three hundred
eet below the floor of the present tnn-
nel, in that. way demon rating the con-
htion of the deposits to depth Of five
iundred feet. At the same time it is
| he intention of the com pany To begin
work on the same vein on the east side
II the tunnel and TO push ahead as
rapidly as possible. As soon as II has
zen thoroughly demonstrated that the
| positively permanent character, both
he leasing company and the owners of
| he estate will increase their working
'orces. The Brets lease on the same
property Is looking exceptionally good
md has every prospect of opening up a
rich body OF ore within very few DAYS,
Mr., Breiz says that he has been getting
.ome very good assays from the rock in
Ill, al h
lief that the ore will 90 down.
The Almanto claim, on which work
was begun few weeks ago, is looking
better every day. The shaft on this
| property has reached depth II fifty
feet and cross cut is being made to tap
| vein which shows H. place on the sur
face. The vein should be reached with
in few days and there is every indica-
ton that the ore body will prove to be
permanent with depth. The Pittsburg-
Fairview company, which is working
this property is well supplied with
money, and 1t is their intention TO make
4 mine OF this claim. Mr.. f. Nj. Ray,
# Los Angeles, a mining man OF years
of experience. and who owns several fine
properties in different sections of the
country, visited the camp few days
| ago in the interests of Pittsburg men
aud while here went over the Almanto
and several other properties, and aftel
II thorough survey of the district saic
that Fairview was one of the best min
eralized districts that he had had the
pleasure of visiting In the State, and
that II the proper ties in the district
were worked as mines should be worked
hat Fairview would prove to be one o
the richest mining communities in Ne
vada, or the world, for that matter.
The Nevada Hills is still sacking hiel
grade from the strike made few week
ago on the $50 foot level and shipments
are being made with the usual regular
itv from that mine. Manager Webbe
said that he had every reason TO believ,
that the same body of ore would be en-
countered on the 200-foot level and ~
the ore was OF the character that usual,
nroves premanency, it was his opinion
that Fairview, and the world at large
need have no fear regarding continued
and regular shipments OF ore from thu
Nevada Hills for many wears to come
The ore runs very high in gold, silve
and copper. The ground in the drif
being run on the 200-foot level is yer.
hard and work on that level is not pro
crossing as rapidly as could be desired
For long time Fairview has beet
talked of as the lone mine camp" hu
the Eagles Nest lease has proven tina
TO have been erroneous, as the compan
working this lease Is now making reg
ular shipments and has considerable
quantity of ore on the dump. sacke
and ready for shipment. 1t is rumore
, that this company has made ricl
strike In their lease, but as the officer
will say nothing regarding such condi
tion, the report cannot be authenticat
ed, bnt as it Is well known fact tina
this company will ship only very higl
grade ore there is every reason to be
lieve there is some truth in the report
The Nevada Hills Extension, whicl
has a shaft down to the depth OF 80
feet. is now drifting to locate the vein
This company has the lowest working
In the camp and expects to demonstrate
n good body of ore at that depth, Al
they have good surface showings OF a
character that lie usually permanent al
