BONANZA
Great Excitement Over Rich
Showings of ChurchilPs
New Camp.
Town Lots in Shadyrun Are
Selling Off Like Hot
Cakes.

The rich gold camp OF Shadyrun to
the northeast of Fallon about 40 miles
is now the cynosure of all eyes. There
are now over 100 prospectofs in the hills
in that district, many at work on claims
already located and from which they
are extracting high grade gold ore, il
one can believe the stories that find way
to the outer world from there.
That rich values are to be found in
that district is true. Saturday Frank
Smith, who has seven claims at Shady
run. called the Gold Wedge group, was
in town after provisions and incidental
ly showed the editor OF the STANDARD
little bottle of coarse gold, which he
said weighed sl6 and which was taken
from a chunk OF ore weighting six
pounds. This jewelry came out OF the
Gold Wedge claims. The gold was in
yeritable little nuggets. one of which
was as large as Yankee bean.
Sheriff Robert Shirley and Vet Smart
have located three claims, the El Norte
Nos. /, 2 AMI 3, from which Sheriff
Shirley received assays of between 80
and "a from rock taken at the grass
roots.
G. H. Bristol, of the Fallon Livery
Stable, has also several locations in the
district.
C. l.. Wilbur came in last week from
surveying the townsite of Shadyrun, and
he brought in some fine rock assaying
over 500 to the ton. Mr.. Wilber said
that he had heard one man knock
ing the camp, who to his certain know
ledge had never stuck a pick in the
ground, as at the time he was there the
snow covered the ground to depth ol
over six inches and no one was doing
any prospecting.
Tuesday one Of the locators of the
townsite OF Shadyrun, was in Fallon
and showed the STANDARD reporter q

COL. BURNS IN TOWN
Saws This an Ideal Country for
Breeding of Race Horses.

Col. Dan Burns of California, politi-
clan, breeder OF fast horses and owner
of the famous Candelaria mines in Old
Mexico, spent several days here last
week as the guest of II J. Kinkead, at
the latter's stock farm, about three
miles south of town. Col. Burns was
accompanied by his brother-in-law,
Mr. Shindler.
Before leaving Sunday, and after look
ing over the country thoroughly, Col.
Burns gave il as his opinion that Chur-
chill county was an ideal spot for the
breeding OF thoroughbred race horses.
Mr.. Kinkead recently received eleven
thoroughbred mares, all in foal by
Eddie Jones and Altamax, from the
famous Burns * Waterhouse stock farm
at Hopland, Mendocino county, CAL
liornia. Several colts have been foaled
since their arrival. Tuesday the thor
oughbred mare Twin" gave birth to
the first horse colt. The sire is Eddie
Jones' and the grand dam Imported
Polomns," famous EIglish race mare.
Mr.. kinkead says he is going to name
this youngster "Fallon." Let US hope
that "Fallon' will live to carry the
colors OF it's owner to victory III many a
classic event on the turf OF this coun-
try.

the STANDARD yesterday afternoon that
there was bare chance of the patient

delirious and towards morning got out

second-story window, but was prevent
ed by the prompt action of Mrs. Moore,
the nurse. In his wild deliriums he
had broken out the window, sash aud
all.
Since Mr.. Prices location in this
community he has made many sincere
friends by his manly department and
appreciation of the duties of good citi.
zenship, and il is the sincere wish of
the people of Fallon that he may be
spared round out a career so full OF hope
for the future.
Ats o'clock this morning, the hour of
going to press. Mr.. Price was reported
as being much better.

SURVEYORS
ARE NOW
IN FIELD
Corps Working Both Ways
on Line Fror, Rock
Springs.
Fallon Will Continue to Be
"the Gateway to the
Mines"

As announced in last weeks STAND
ARD. the surveyors engaged to locate the
right-of way from this city to Rawhide
started at their work bright and early
Monday morning. They left here sun
day for Rock Springs, which is just hall
way between the terminals, at which
point the force was divided, one-hali
working toward Fallon, the other to-
ward Rawhide.
Before leaving for the field Mr..
McGregnr, engineer in charge Of the
work, informed the STANDARD that III
his opinion the survey would be CON-
pleted within fortnight, as there was
nothing to hinder them from going right
ahead with the work, and with the
corps divided and enly twenty-one miles
to work each way from the starting
pont, he was certain that two weeks
would cover the time that his men
would be la the field.

FIRE F|END
PAYS CITY
A VISIT
Burchell Bros Store Saved
by Prompt and Intelli-
gent Work.
Entire Business Section of the
Town Threatened by
the Flames.

Last Saturday morning about
O'Clock fire broke out in Burchell Bros.
hardware store that but for the timely
assistance and intelligent work of the
citizens of Fallon would have destroyed
the greater portion OF the business Sec
tion of the city. Fortunately no wind
was prevailing at the time. though a
strong wind had been blowing for forty
eight hours previous.
Evidently the fire originated from a
defective stovepipe and started inside
the store building. 1t had gained a
good headway by the time ladders were
put in place and the bucket bridade was
ready for work, the flames eating hole
in the roof and threatening 10 get be-
yond control. 1t was at this point that
the men, led by Charley Bailey, Charley
Burchell, Charley Evarts, Jack Kerr
and others too numerous to mention,
proved that there was plenty and COED
material for the forming OF first class
fire company. With axes and shoyels
and constant supply of water from
the bucket brigade they quickly sub
dued The fire and saved thousands OF
dollars worth OF property from what
seemed like inevitable destruction.
At the height of the excitement and
at time when the hydrant at the Rees
pharmacy, from which the supply OF
water was being obtained, threatened
to become exhausted, SO weak WAS the
supply, Wm. Sanford attached his big
hose to the hydrant at the New River
hotel and set at rest all fear on that
score.
Although the loss from this fire WAS
insignificant, the warning should not
go UNDECIDED. All that is required to
supply the town with the necessary ap-
paratus is organized effort. Chairman
Wightman, of the board of county COM
missioners, authorizes the STANDARD to
issue call for representative body OF
citizens to appear before the board at
their next meeting, which takes place
next Monday, to discuss ways and means
for fire protection. The matter is one
that should appeal to every property
holder in Fallon. Be on hand at the
meeting and protect your property.
Monday fire broke out in the cook
room OF the Barrel House restaurant
1t occurred in the afternoon just at the
time when the wind was blowing strong
est. A few buckets OF water served tc
quench it, Another case of luck.

Keep Up Your Stock.

There is a city ordinance against the
running at large OF stock within the
town limits, and this ordinance should
be rigidly enforced. Some of the resi-
dents are complaining of the destruction
of young shade trees by stock, asserting
that they are compelled to set out new
trees each season on that account
some protection should be afforded
those who are seeking to beautify their
homes and the city, and the law invok-
ed in this respect regardless OF whom il
may reach.

| Frank Smiths claims. He WAS atsonish-
| Ell at the amount of gold panned from
a small piece OF rock, and showed the
result TO all chance visitors at his Office

was the richest ever found in Churchill
county, and said that it would not sur
prise him to see 1000 people in Shady
run inside OF the next THIRTY days.
Ali who have visited the district say
that the ground laid out for the town is
al ideal spot foI one, there being plenty
of wood and any quantity of fine spring
water, which has been appropriated by
the tcwnsile company. 1t was reported
the first Of the week that saloon would
be established at Shadyrun in a few
DAYS backed by Fallon business men.

Making their own lamps is q rad
