chase of this property by the Wilson
interests considerable work has been
done; 20 feet of tunnel work, in which
they are making a drive for the main
vein, has been completed, and encourag-
ing values have been repeatedly found.
although they do not expect a body of
ore until the objective point Is reached.
when they will have $50 feet depth.
The Nevada condors joins the Snyder
property, and is a splendid prospect.
with surface showings scarcely second
to any in the district. 1t is in most
excellent hands, too. The owners have
great faith in the entire district. and
in their opinion. IT is Fairview that will
produce the immense onnag that will
very soon draw a railroad to this point.
xEE RAI1vIEw AZTEC
The double compartment shaft IS o
SIS feet deep. and no further sinking
will be attempted until the hosting
machinery and gallows frame are In
place. After an almost interminable
delay the timber is at the works. and
a force of men are preparing to put
everything in place, after which the
start will be made for the 200-foot level,
where Developments of important ma
ture are expected. The gasoline hoist
is now on the ground. and with the
arrival OF the necessary lumber no
further delay will be experienced. 1t
has been very difficult to get the proper
timbering material for any of the work
in camp during the past three months,
and the fact that the Aztec has a big
treasury fund has not been instrumental
in overcoming delays in freight. Geo.
L. Reading. the consulting engineer. is
expected to arrive daily, for the pur-
pose of personally supervising the In
s~tallation of the machinery.

reached the works. and is ready fol

town, with a view to developing thu
supply; If a flow that comes near thu
surface is struck here a third hole will
be drilled still nearer town. AS thu
piping will cost about $4,000 per mile
1t will be economy to get as near In
as possible; there will also be another
saving in operating expenses, as thu
cost of pumping two miles to the reser

miles. which is the distance of the pres

THE FAIRvIEw EAGLE
A great amount of underground worl
Is going on here. Three shifts are work
ing in the drifts at the 70 and 150-foot
levels. A timberihg crew has recently
completed the 75-foot station, and are
well along with the second. In the mean
time the sinking has reached a depth
of 100 feet. On every hand are the
evidences of the most exacting precise
ness in opening up the mine in the
most thorough manner possible, with
every detail cared for with a view &c
getting ready for stopping out the ore
One cannot but be impressed with the
fact that this property is in the hands
of mine makers. Taken altogether. II

and shows a master hand.
CYCLONE GETTING CLOSE
TO ORE BODY
The sensational gold strike in the
"Pinky' Stewart shat on the Harnan
property mentioned in this paper several
weeks ago, has been followed up with
good effect. With greater depth aver
age assays have demonstrated the pres
: ence of shipping values, and a greater
quantity of the quartz develops con-
stantly. Although the Cyclone has had
sacking ore in a number of places, this
shaft seems to be more o n the track
of the hig ore shoot than any work
yet undertaken. From the values that
have been found on this property it is
SAFELY Judged that the vein, when found,
will yield second to none in the entire
district.-Fairview News
