FARRELL WILL BOOM.
North End Of Seven Troughs Dis
trict Given a Fine Send-Off.


Conditions generally in the north end
of the Seven Troughs district and in the
immediate vicinity of Farrell could not
be better" said w. B. Sullivan of the
Seven Troughs Promotion company to q
Lovelock Tribune man Saturday. land 1t
is my candid opinion that when business
is again normal our section will have a
hoom that will equal, if not excel, any
yet had in the state"
Mr.. Sullivan was in Lovelock on i'm
pOrtant mining business He spoke very
flatteringly Of the future of the entire
Seven Troughs district, and said that
Notwithstanding the depression in the
money market, a vast amount of work
was being accomplished with gratifying
results
THE recent high-grade strikes" con
tinued Mr.. Sullivan, ''and the favorable
comments from the press all over the
country are having telling effect, and
the result is that capital Us seeking invest
ments in the district. .Sot only are the
people seeking mining investments. but
they are buying homes and business lots
in Farrell This latter is evidenced by the
fact that the tents which mark the incep-
ton of a new mining camp are being sup
planted by substantial wooden structures.
During the past six weeks a number OF
new buildings have been built and Far
reil is now taking on the appearance of
a city
In speaking of the work being done in
in every instance good results were being
obtained. The Nevada & Salt Lake Ex-
plOrauOn company. which recently pur-
chased the Wild Cat and the Little Hero
has let contracts for sinking deeper
shafts. The manG cement of this COM
pany has announced its intention of pros
ecuting work vigorously. and there will
be no cessation until the property is thor
oughly and systematically developed
Shaft houses and other modern convent
ences have been added, and everything is
now in readiness for the winter scam
paign- The shaft at the Wild Cat is now
down to a depth of sixty-fiye feet and
at this pOilt the showing is better than
any yet had. While it is true the high
grade streak lying next to the hanging
wall is diminishing to a certain degree
the higll-grade streak on the foot wall is
widening per eeptibly, and gives the en-
tire ledge a better general average.
On the Seven Troughs Royal a shaft
has been sunk to a depth of 80 feet From
this point the contractor will run cross
cuts fifty feet to the north and fifty feet
to the south. There are several lodges
cOnverging near the shaft and il is be-
lieved by the owners of the Royal that
something sensational will be encountered
when the crOSs-cuts are completed. Nu-
merous small stringers have been cut in
ues as high as $40. and It is thought
their presence indicates the close prox-
unity Of the main ore shaft. Over 1900
feet of surface development work has
been done on the Royal group and the
values obtained from the different lodges
stamp it as one of the biggest milling pro-
positions in the district
Charles Myers and Frank Karlsten have
taken a lease on the CRATER. A tunnel
has been driven in for a distance of 200
feet and will be continued for 100 feet
further There are three parallel lodges
cutting through the lease. showing an ag-
gregate width of thirty feet. Thus far
the values show only milling grade, run
ming about $50.
The hex, which Joint the Caesar on the
west. and which is regarded as among
the best in that section of the district is
also being developed. The hex is owned
by John c. Davis and associates of Yer
non.
