order that the hoist and all necessary
material may be brought up to the

sacked continuously.
1t is stated that while the company's
attention will be principally directed
to this newly developed ground. work
on the m~ainshaft will be advanced as
before. and another gasoline hoist will
probably be secured in a short time.

In the list of leases under operation
in Fairview there is probably not one
hich at it's present stage of develop
ment holds out greater encouragement
than that of Stacy and Merritt on the
ground of the Dromedary-Hump mine
The great o~ut-cropping ledge on the
crest of the hill makes a very promi-
nent landmark to all passing up the
canyon, and the excellent surface dis
play made by the ore-shoot leaves moth
ing to be desired.
Stacey and Merritt have sunk their
shaft down to so feet. and thereupon
commenced to crosscut west to the vein.
1t was not found necessary to extend
the crosscut more than about IL feet
in order to strike the ledge. which was
proven to have a width of 5 feet. No

the lessees are now engaged in drifting
south along the ledge in order to get

already gone a distance of some 80 feet

further.
NEVADA HILLS EAST EXTENSION
Webb Parkison states that it is the
intention of the Nevada Hills Cast Ex-
tension company to resume work upon
it's Fairview property about the middle
of November. Various factors have
necessitated the suspension of develop
ment during the past month. Vigorous
exploratory work will be the policy of
the ompan upon starting up a month
from now, when the ground will be
proven up in a substantial way.
FAIRvIEw AZTEC
Last week work was started upon
the claims of the Fairview Aztec Mining
company. owning the Silver Bow group
in Fairview. This ground adjoins hat
of the Pyramid and the Fairview Eagle
companies, lying to the north of the
former and to the east of the latter. The
main ledge of the Pyramid company,
running north and south, should be
found to traverse the Aztec claims. The
ompany has started work upon a
shaft which 1t purposes sinking to the
200-foot level. A 15-h.p. gasoline hoist
has, it is stated, already been ordered
and should be on the ground within the
next few weeks.
In view of it's proximity to the big
strike on the Fairview Eagle and to
the Pyramid mine, the outlook before
the Aztec cannot be described
| as otherwise than distinctly bright.
