GOLD DISCOVERY
NEAR FALLON
All Openings Make Good
Showings; Property Will Be
Developed at Once

Twenty-eight miles south of Fallon,
where the Fairview and Silver ranges
of mountains meet, mineral dis
covery has been made which at this
writing shows much better than the
ordinary chance of developing into
one of the good-paying silver-gold
mines for which Nevada is famous
The main vein has been traced and
on its strike and six or seven holes
ten feet or less in depth have been
sunk at different points. All of these
openings give good promise but the
best showing on the property is at
the bottom of what is intended for
the main shaft at the base of the
hill.
This shaft has reached a depth OF %
feet and at the bottom the vein main
tains its average width OF five feet.
Samples of the ore taken from this
point were brought TO Reno by "Dia-
mondfield" Jack Davis, the controll
ing owner, and assays by Bellam gave
the following results: From II inches
on the hanging-wall the returns were
S53.3S per ton, of which $27 was in
gold and the balance silver. From
three feet on the footwall side of the
vein the assay returns were $2S2,
of which $3.50 was in gold and the
balance silver.
The vein is in a porphyry formation
with a phonolite dyke running thru
it and the ore makes against the
dyke. Plenty of water for present
needs Is found four miles away, but
