Prices Are Rather High.
Supplies are very hard TO get The
growth of the camp ran ahead or the
hauling facilities. but fairly good board
can be had FOR about so per week Water
costs from $3.50 to s. per barrel; wood
costs 800 per cord; so 1t is seen that tho
cost of living here Is something TO con-
slider, although good wages are PAID TO
miners, who arc getting $40 and s. per

Strike on the Wingf1eld.
ga rich strike wns encountered yester-
day on the Wlngfeld group, and still an
ether strike was made In crosscut tun-
mel being driven by Harnan on the iar-
nan group. During the last few days
there have been numerous other strikes
reported, and In almost every instance
the reports have been verified.
"An in all the reports OF the great
ress OF this camp have not In many esti-
nations been exaggerated in the least, I
am moro than pleased with the outlook,
and predict future for Fairview that
will place her second TO no mining dis
trIct In this State and this In no great
while. either"
