Soon after this O. L. C. and J. D. Fairchilds leased the office. Adair Wilson was engaged as editor and in December Myron Angel became assistant. Mr. Wilson continued in that capacity until 1864, and then Mr. Angel was editor until January, 1868. In 1864 Mr. Phillips sold the plant to the Fairchilds brothers, who enlarged it and on May 24 issued the first number of the Daily Reese River Revelle, a morning paper of nine columns to the page. Mr. Locke was made local editor, to be succeeded by Mr. Wilmington, and the latter in 1865 by B. J. Burns, who was an able journalist and filled the position until 1869. A decline occurring in the mining operations, the paper was reduced to six columns to the page and fifteen inches in length on August 2, 1864, and in June of the following year the columns were made seventeen inches long, which was the size of the paper until 1881.

In October, 1868, J. D. Fairchilds sold his interest to his brother, and on August 14, 1871, the plant passed into the control of Andrew Casamayon and John H. Dennis. September 9, 1873, Mr. Dennis sold his share to John Boothe, Mr. Casamayon taking the position of editor, and on December 21, 1875, the paper appeared under the firm name of John Boothe and Company. Fred H. Hart became editor, and Mr. A. Maute (now state printer, 1903) was business manager. From 1881 to 1883 Alf Doten was its able editor. On the death of Mr. Casamayon, Mr. Boothe became sole proprietor and continued the ownership and publication until March 13, 1884, when his death occurred. Mr. Boothe was a native of England, and was a man of much ability and large journalistic experience. He had made hosts of friends and was one of Nevada's best known and most esteemed pioneer ciitzens. He was a member of the Masonic fraternity, and was buried with the honors of that order.

After the death of her husband, until 1886, Mrs. Boothe continued to publish the paper with John W. Madrill as editor. George W. Carpenter then had charge as editor and manager until 1888 when the plant was purchased by C. W. Hichcliff, George Rutherford becoming editor. In 1890 A. F. Philips became editor, and filled the position until June 20, 1893, when the Reveille Publishing Company purchased the enterprise. Judge W. D. Jones was its able editor until the fall of 1898, when F. H. Triplett was made editor and has continued to fill that responsible office to the present time.

May 19, 1894, the Publishing Company sold the Reveille to Dalton and Clifford, the Lander county druggists and business men. These are able men, and the latter is a practical printer and a forceful writer, and under the present management the paper is receiving good patronage in subscriptions, advertising and job work. The Reveille was continued as a daily until 1890, but has since been issued semi-weekly, a four-page, five-column, eleven and a quarter by seventeen inch sheet, and is published independent in politics.

Mr. Triplett is a native son of Austin, Nevada, and was the first white male child born in the town, which important event occurred and was duly chronicled in January, 1864. He has been connected with the Reveille since 1876, serving in all the capacities from devil to editor and manager, with the exception of six years spent in newspaper work in California and other parts of this state. He has proved an able worker at the head of the Reveille, and has done much to maintain the paper's reputation gained through forty years of continuous existence.
