EAGLE

rArzvrEw EAGLE
The main interest of the camp con-
tinues to center upon the Fairview Eagle
company's big strike on block 7 of their
Boulder No. 3 claim. That this is to
prove one of the most important devel-
opments of past months and of the
greatest bearing upon this camps pro-
duction is now a foregone conclusion.
AS may be expected. much activity
prevails at block z, n the work of
sinking the shaft. which Is this week
down TO rs feet. goes vigorously on. On
Tuesday the new road that is being built
To this ground was sufficiently advanced
to enable a load of lumber to pass along
IL. and the day shift has now started
upon the work of timbering the shaft,
while the second shift is engaged in the
shaft. When the final touches have been
put to the road. the Fairbanks-Morse
hoist will be transferred from the com
pany's main haft to the newly opened
up ground. A gallows frame will be
built in the camp. and as all the other
material is on hand, and the ground can
quickly be leveled for the foundation.
the hoist should be erected and in run
ming order in a very short time.
The ore. which is being sorted and
sacked right along. continues to make
the same excellent display as before,
while the high values in both gold and
silver seem to be well maintained. Sui
phide ore. identical with that found
throughout this zone. predominates,
though there is considerable blue-black
tale rock similar in appearance to the
1 1T. ~~o1a 90 found nm the g11rfoNa
above tunnel No. 2 of the Nevada Hills
mine.
DRoMEDARY HUMP LEASE
The steady and vigorous work which
Stacey and Herritt rave for past
months put into their lease on the
Dromedary Hump ground this week
seems about to bear fruit.
Having sunk their shaft down to the
50-foot level, the lessees some ten or
twelve lays ago commenced crosscut-
ting. 1t was not their expectation that
1t would be necessary to go more than
10 to Is feet to reach the ledge. and this
belief would seem not to have been III
founded. as the results of The past
weeks work.
On Wednesday last, after having ex-
tended their crosscut some 10 feet from
the shaft, the lessees ran into consider
able vein matter, If, in fact, this proves
not to be the ledge itself. Some 4 feet
of soft tale and graduated as well as
solid quartz already pierced make a de-
cidedly good display. while what is yet
to be well marked with sulphide values.
No assay test will be made of the rock
until next week. when the men will be
more into the ledge.
FAIRvIEw KEYSTONE
Next week should see the men at
work upon the southeast crosscut from
the Fairview keystone c~ompany's shaft,
which is now down to close upon so feet.
Some encouraging quartz ~stringers
have been coming into the shaft during
the past two weeks.
Two of these of 6 inches and 8 inches
in width carry small sulphide values.
running probably around SO or s12 to
the ton. Another and smaller one
makes a better display and would go
considerably higher.
MONTANA LEASE
% Roadway and a very promising
outlook-this is a right description of
the present state of affairs on the Mon
tana lease of Martin and Williams, on
the Cyclone ~company's ground.
From the crosscut, which itself is in
some IS feet, the drift on which the
~lessees are now at work has been ex-
tended a total of 35 feet. The face of
the drift is now in anthracite rock, car
rying quite a little quartz. Some 4 fee-
of this rock has already been removed.
Only a short distance at the most re-
mains to be e~xcavated before the men
get into the vein. and this is a develop
ment thai is ooked for daily.
CYCLONE PROPERTY
For the time being. work in the fdI'-
mel of the Cyclone mine has been sus-
pended, to allow of exploration work
upon the surface being accomplished. A
shaft is being sunk just off the rad
leading up the gulch.
EAGLES NEsT-FAIRvIEM
The initial development work started
last week upon this very promising
ground may now be said to be well I'M
der way. Already some 25 feet of sur
face rock has been removed from the
portal of the proposed tunnel, and the
men should early next week get under
| cover.
In order that the work may advance
rapidly and without delay, a black
smith shop has been erected on the
ground and all the accessories to rub
