Superintendent j. w. Morris of the
Fairview Eagle is in town with good
reports from that district. Shipping is
still handicapped by q lack of teams
and sven the voluntary increase in the
price paid for hauling made by the
mine owners from $40 to $3.50 has not
relieved the strain appreciably

Heine Harder, a lessee on the Great
Bend Annex, broke into a ledge at the
depth Of ninety-three feet which prom
ises to lead to a big deposit of ship
ping ore. 1t was but six inches wide
when first cut in the shaft and the
furnace showed but s6 In value. In
five feet the vein had widened to six
feet, with an average sample of SIT,
while ten feet farther down the width
had increased and the ore gave returns
of s28. At the point where the ledge
dipped away from and out of the shaft
there was six feet of ore. The shaft
will be deepened and the ledge cross
cut and If the Improvement continues
the 150-foot level should show up some
thing good.
The Annex is located for an extern
sion of the rich lodges in the Daisy,
Gold Coin and Triangle mines on the
east.
The coal deposits at Coaidale, fifty
miles west of Goldfield and within three
miles Of the Tonopah and Goldfeld Rail-
road, are to be developed on a large
| scale by the Nevada Coal Company, a
corporation composed of Pennsylvania
| coal men, who have purchased $50
acres after exhaustive examination and
| elaborate tests of the coal.
| The coal deposits were first discovered
| eight years ago by William Groezinger
an employe of the borax works, who
opened four veins measuring from three
| to six feet in width in an incline shaft
| 180 feet deep. In the Petty mine, which
was opened up soon after, the coal
measure is twenty-four feet in thick
ness and shaft 100 feet deep has
| traced the continuous vein of coal for
the entire depth.
! The coal found, so far as developed
| is a Ignite which makes a good do
mestic fuel and can on a pinch be used
! for a steaming coal, though 1t is of an
| inferior grade for this purpose. 1t is
hoped that with further development
the quality will improve and that q
mine will be opened up which will put
the neighboring gold mines in the
! shade.
