GREAT PROGRESS
IN FAIRVIEW

The past week has seen one oper-
.tion started that VIII De watched
a. ~ tbe greatest interest by all in
wiz .od IN the district. This is the
'e tbe Nevada Hills management
r,ode for the depths. The Wine
has .od in No. 5 tunnel is going down,
s viii be continued until the mat
aNN settled for all time. At present
=, Going down on shipping ore and
ting stronger and richer with
30, foot of depth. Other properties
taxing out and sacking ore, and
s.tore the season advances many
weeks there will be several new
D,,aners adding their wealth to the
IAN moving toward the railroad.
"la advent of the Sullivan G. Rice
aorle TO the activities of the camp
r.n create considerable stir, as they
unl push the development of their
new properties to the limit.
Nevada fdlENlth
superintendent Williams of the Ne
do Fairview company states that
.ho nroperty is in better physical con-
l,tion at the present time than ever
sotore In the No. 4 tunnel, where
,ho hest showing on the property is
,oode. the work is progressing rapid
!, The tunnel is now in 2S5 feet,
ard following the ledge and in ore
,or over 200 feet. The Wine in this
funnel is now down forty-ive feet,
Nth about four feet of ore showing.
This Is of a high grade, and is being
,oten out and placed IN the dump.
The winze will be dropped probably
ATTY feet more, and then drifts will
no started In both directions. This
will afford a great deal of Stopping
Ground. and it is expected that sufi-
cent ore will be blocked out here to
allow of regular shipments. In fact,
shipments could commence at once,
as the ore is OF sufficient grade to
make this possible, and there is a
great deal of It on the dumps. The
vein on which this work Is being done
has been developed by open cuts for
distance OF over 900 feet and this
will afford some idea Of the reserves
Of the company upon the completion
Of the work in hand. The other work
ings on this great property are also
boxing well, and from all of them
more or less ore of shipping grade
Is being taken. Here is the making
Of one of the districts great mines,
and within a very short time will be
one Of the regular contributors TO the
worlds supply of metals.
Ballard and Hazen Lease
The Ballard G. Hazen lease on Ohio
No. 4 claim is just about finishing NJ
The preparatory work, and viii short.
" commence drifting for the pay
ledge. Their shaft is now down sew,
enty-six feet and II win take but
about thirty feet of drifting TO reach
the main ledge. where It is expected
from present indications, that the pay
ore will be opened up. This lease Ii
splehdidly located the leaders still
have plenty Of time, have cut gooC
rock in their shaft, and the OUTLOOK
is very promising indeed for a rici
strike at this point. The ledge mat
ter through which the saft was SUM
gave assays all the way down. Tit
developments OF the very near futur,
will be watched with much interest
Clipper Group
The management of the Clippe
group having made up their mind
to develop the ground, have starte,
IN on a campaign of work whicl
promises much. A shaft has bee
started and will follow down on tn
main ledge, where there are showing
Of great value. This Is the mos
promising ground In the north en-
Of the district. Considerable surfac
exploratory work has been done an
this has resulted in the tracing of
number Of veins which cross tn
estate of the company. These will b
developed. Assays taken from th
surface give returns which are higf
encouraging. In fact, in several {
me cuts values have been foun
which border on the sensational
Golden Slipper
sinking on the Golden Slippt
claim is still in progress, and Il
smart is now down sixty feet. TIL
VIII be continued to the s%eventy-si
1901 level, where a crosscut 10 u
north will be started. From tn
point real operations will begin, an
y Is expected that when the ledl
Is cut the real values will be pickC
