Show I Late Development Opens New Opportunities for AVell-Known Fainiew Mine. MANAGER W. H. WEBBER ! ' IX FROM DISTRICT; i I . Company Will Hold Annual Meeting Today in the Local Offices. What General jranajrer "William H. , Webber, of the Nevada Hills Mining i company, deems tlie most significant i discovery over made on ihe Fairview li property of the company was jiifit regis- K tcred shortly before ho left the camp I the first of the present week. .Mr. Web- ber reached Salt Luke Wednesday evc- rt ninSi having come to Snlt Lake for t lie purpose of attending tho annual stock-i stock-i holders' meeting of the Nevada Hills company, to be held today, i Tho latest find is an entirely new r vein, extending at right angles to the 1 original mineral xono ihnt. gave this mine its wide reputation. 1he new vein -was first tapped on tho 150-foot 1vl. where ovci1 four feet of new ore "was exposed. The ore is a sulphide, and IJr viiiges round .100 to tlie ton in gold V and silver. Tho management then be- t" gnn to search for tlie same vein on tho 1 0l)-foofc love!. The work on the 200- foot level bad proceeded to within ninc-r ninc-r ty feet of the point where !tr. Wobber j calculated to find the four-foot vein. (I when the crosscut encountered over one ti foot of ore that will run .fCOO to the ton. If At present Mr. Webber is not in- j, dnjging in an- predictions regarding 1 the new vein, but there arc several II items connected with it that, cause him a to feel confident of encountering over J four feet on tho 200-foot level when the r logical point is gained. In the first J place, ns he points out. the ore is dif- 7 fcront from the ordinary Nevada Hills , rock in that it carries "two-thirds gold V to one of silver as far as the values go, !' while on tlie upper levels the ore car- ;' ried larger silvor values in proportion to gold. This is not bad news at all (l these days of low silver prices. Then jj the' ore. is found beyond the big fault 1 which opens up a much wider range of opportunity for the property than that I heretofore' enjoyed. It also tends to strengthen faith iu the Dromedar-I Dromedar-I ITtiinp. group beyond. t Jlr. Wobber states that he is now prospecting the new vein by means of a winze l)ofore sending the "main shaft on down to develop it. Shaft work can . proceed more intelligently when this preliminary exploration is'accomplished. Tho new vein was encountered east, of I tho shaft.
