MINING RE- In the
I VIEW. Iron World.

The Fayal location, which
since the first work of clearing
and building was commenced
five years ago, has always ex
cited the admiration of visitors,
continues to be improved IN the
same substantial manner which
has marked each step of ad
vancement since the opening of
the property. Among the late
improvements is the new Town
Hall, just east of the office, an
elegantly appointed building for
the use of employees and for local
entertainments. The first floor
is spacious hall, while the up
stairs is neatly fitted up for a
reading and billiard room.
Township Offices and court room
are also embodied in the upper
story. The fine new hospital,
which will be as we'll appointed
as any similar institution in the
county, is progressing nicely,
and ground has this week been
broken for an elegant residence
for the mine physician. But it
is not on the surface alone that
the march Of advancement has
been going forward, as is evil
denced by the fact that this mine,
still in the infancy of develop
ment,is now shipping $4,000 tons
per month, a record which can
easily be eclipsed another season.
The huge stockpile at the mine
is now nearly cleaned up, and
one shovel of the Drake & Strat
ton company is now loading ore,
in addition to the ore mined and
hoisted by shaft. The FayaI
employs 500 men this season. A
