OF FAIRVIEW

The past ten lays has been an ex-
ceptionally fruitful period for the Fair
view district; not that any greater eff
forts nave been put forth, for extremely
hot Weather is not calculated to call
forth greater efforts; but there must be
a reward for the efforts of the past few
months, and the reward is certainly
coming in now, at a time when least ex-
pected. We nave heard so much of the
cry, wait until the fall months for de-
velopment," hat one has been prone to
relapse into a state of suspense, and
many have doubtless done so. A series
of important developments has caused
a great awakening, and a state of sus-
pense has given place to one of ex-
pectancy.
BOULDER NO. 3"
The big vein of manganese ore that
was opened on the Wingfeld-Nixon
property last week. by the company of
leasers headed by II. l.. Taylor. con-
tinues to be the center of interest, and
deservedly so. for 1t has stimulated an
interest in many other prospects in the
district, and is having an immediate and
far-reaching effect on the status of the
development work everywhere in the
III II law THAT IL 5ttlhG was
made at the surface, on ground that
had been prospected repeatedly, and at
a point where surface indications were
conspicuous by their absence, has put
new life and energy into other PROPOSE
tions. and the good results are apparent
on every hand.
The leasers are sinking on their ledge;
a windlass has been put in place and at
a depth of ten feet in the shaft there is
not only a larger pile Of sacked ore,
but the vein shows up decidedly better
in every respect. 1t is bearing over
against the hanging wall. and is much
better defined than when first opened.
1t looks strong and permanent. and i'm
presses all alike with the belief that
depth will give 1t greater form and
values. The owners and leasers are to
be envied If it maintains it's present
showing.
THE NEVADA HILLS
Within the past seven days there
have been at least two Developments of
momentous Importance on this prop
erty. The demonstration shaft on the
east end has served its purpose well;
a drift in this shaft, at the 50-foot level.
after traversing a fault for 60 feet
caught the big rich vein that has been
opened up on the surface for a distance
of 1000 feet. One week ago the last
shot was fired in this shaft-the shot
that lay bare the 15-inch streak of high
grade, which has since been carefully
sampled, yielding an average of more
than $500. To the west $50 feet tunnel
No. 4 is prosecuting and will intersect
this vein at a depth of 60 feet below the
surface; at the mouth of this tunnel a
sampling platform will be Immediately
constructed. and everything will be in
readiness for stopping out the bonanza
ore at the 60-foot level.
THE D-RoMEDARY HUMP
Values rave been getting better and
better in the main tunnel of the Drome-
dairy Hump for the past ten days and
there is now almost a full breast of
good ore. Underground conditions have
at last begun to conform with the sur
face showings, and 1t is certain they
are on the track of the big rich pay
shoot that is known to exist there. The
tunnel is in more than 40 feet, and the
ore h they are now breaking down
assays $50 per ton. The first of his
week they started to sacking the ore
on the surface, at the top of the hill. of
which there are many o n in the dumps
and in the pay shoots that are at the
surface.-Fairview News.
