NEVADA HILLS DEVELOPMENT
w. Il. Webber Gives Out
Additional information
About His Mine.

The recent development of rich ore
in place on the 470-foot level of the
Nevada Hills property at Fairview
provided the key to the ore system of
the property which the management
has been diligently searching for dur
ing the past two years or more. Will
lam II. Webber, the general manager
of the company, reached Salt Lake
from the mine last week, and he says
that the recent developments have so
simplified future operations that the
company for the first time can read
the formation as if from an open book
according to the Salt Lake Tribune.
When the Nevada Hills was first
secured By the Salt Lakers still retain
ing the management and control, the
first rich ore found was close to the
top of the mountain, and from little
more than surface work the ship
ments of ore We're made which not
only paid for the ground but per-
mitted the company to enter the diyi-
dend columns as well. This ore was
developed for some distance to the
east, then the first fault was encoun-
tered. The rich ore followed the drag
OF the fault for go feet in depth, and
then continued again to the east prac-
tieally paralleling the surface.
Abost 400 feet still further east was
second fault, with still greater
drag, down which the rich ore pro-
ceeded. Between the two faults the
main shaft struck the rich ore at the
200-foot level. This shaft was con-
tinued level to level as the winze
work along the second fault continued
TO show up the existance of the ore.
1t was a cross cut sent out from the
470 foot level Of the shaft which failed
to strike the second fault that gave
the company most of It's worry, but
Manager Webber figured that the con-
tinuing to the east be would find ore
in place again and beyond all influences.
Of this second fault.
Not long ago this theory was abso-
lutely demonstrated, for the face broke
into ore positively in place and it has
been drifted on now for 10 feet or
more showing steady dimensions and
continually increasing values as the
drag of the fault is left further behind.
mot only have we solved the ore
problem" said Mr.. Webber to the
Tribune, "but we have found out sew
eral other things about the ore that
compels me to withdraw some of my
past predictions. You will recall that
as We left the surface workings our
gold values increased materially over
the silver, and thought with depth
the ore would carry gold mainly, but
now on the 40 level the silver again
predominates. 1t is exactly the same
old Nevada Hills ore we had at the
beginning of operations, and we are now
making for the eastern and untouched
portion of our property, where lies
the biggest end of the Nevada Hills.
1t is going to make big and steadily
with depth, while we have all Of 500
feet of sloping ground now available
east of the second or main fault.
ITO the north of the property is the
Eagle, with which we are to CONSOLE
date. Across this property extends
parallel vein system with faulted
conditions exactly identical with our
own. We know how to operate the
properties now. and the Nevada Hills
will be one of the biggest and best
mines of Nevada. We will start ship
ping some of the high grade suiphides
soon, ore necessarily extracted during
development. The company is busy
preparing mill plans, and the money
for the plant has been raised by Mr..
Wingfeld in New York.
