BILLY MACKAY'S OPINION OF
SEVEN TROUGHS DISTRICT

view of the recent panic, / am firmly
of the opinion that it is not one-tenth
what the properties deserve, Judging
from the results thus far attained.
Startling Discovery.
All records have been broken in the
Seven Troughs district by the latest
sensation in the Reagan-Hayes lease on
the Mazuma Hills estate. After drift
ing for two weeks in the bonanza ore
shoots which have never failed for a
single foot to enrich, the climax was
reached the early part of this week
when high grade was encountered in
quantity and quality that staggers be-
lief. The nature of the disclosures has
startled the most conservative mining
men here. Single specimens have been
shown about Seven Troughs containing
at least 800 worth of gold.
According to Mr.. Reagan, who bears
the reputation of being very conserva-
tive in his statements, the vein has
widened from three and four feet wide
on the surface to eleven feet wide on
the 165-foot level where the disclosures
are being made. In the eleven feet of
vein matter is seven feet of ore. -Four
feet of this is shipping ore that cannot
be classed as anything but high grade,
1t is impregnated so lavishly with pie.
ture rock of a most magnificent kind
that the entire four feet is pushed up
into an average of perhaps several
thousand dollars a ton. Mr.. Reagan
said: monday grab samples from the
product of the last two shifts work
give an average for the four feet of
$3,l14 a ton. If the vein continues to
enrich below the 165 level as rapidly
as it has from the surface down to the
165 level, we will be up against the
proposition of mining solid gold.".

FAIRVIEW MINERS VOTE TO
ACCEPT TONOPAH SCALE

The Fairview Eagle company adj
vised their men last week that on May
first the Tonopah wage scale would go
into effect. The Nevada Hills company
advised their men likewise, the scale
to take effect May fifth. The Fairview
Miners union held a meeting on May
second and ordered a referendum vote
on the subject. This vote was taken
the next day, and when the vote was
counted it was found that the majority
was in favor of the new scale, says the
Wonder Mining News.
This action on the part of the miners
will do much toward bringing Fairview
to the front. 1t proves to the men with
capital that Fairview is a safe place
10 make investments. Such men will
know that the union will give them a
square deal. Since the acceptance of
the new scale several companies have
signifed their intention of increasing
their forces. Instead of q handful Of
men at work. Fairview will soon have
q large payroll and become one of the
liveliest camps in Nevada. One mine

A carload shipment of high class
shipping ore from the famous Seven
Troughs mine, the property of the
Seven Troughs Mining company, left
the company warehouse at Loveloek,
the nearest railroad point, Tuesday for
the smelter at Selby, CAL, says the
Seven Troughs Miner.
The shipment was made up of about
thirty-fve tons of ore. The estimated
value per ton could not be learned, but
it is known that the ore was of a high
grade order. The shipment was accom-
panied by Charles H. ~Ellithorpe, gen.
eral superintendent of the Friedman
properties, one of which is the Seven
Troughs mine.

mining to determine to locate in the
Seven Troughs district. In company
with Fred L. Johnston, of Santa Bar
bara, Cal, who was formerly con-

Copper company, at Bisbee, Ariz., Mr..
Mackay spent all of last week in max
ing a thorough inspection of all the
principal properties in the district. He
left Sunday for his home in Goldfeld,
but announced that he would soon re-
turn here.
MIR. Mackay holds the record of hav-
ing produced more rich ore during the
life of the Frances-Mohaw lease than
any other mining man in the Goldfeld
district during the same length of time.
"This is my third visit to the dis
trict,' said Mr.. Mackay. 81 have been

Mineral Paint Pound

All kinds Of mineral have been found
in Pine Nut and this week Will Frey
who has been prospecting in that sec,
ton added another to the already found
list of minerals. He has a
six-foot ledge of red graphite, which
is by far superior to anything heard OF
in this section. The rock is very soft
and can be ground up with little or no
effort as fine as powder, but OF course
heavy. 1t carries seemingly a part OF
oil and is very adhesive to the hand. A
sample was pounded up in a mortar and
mixed with a little boiled oil and 1t
makes the best brilliant red roof paint
that could be imagined.
