HAS RICH ORE
LAST STRIKE Is IN THE DRIFT
FROM THE 1OO-FOOT
LEVEL.

FAIRVIEW, New, Oct, 12.-The
excitement for the past week center
ed in the Eagles Nest property, which
was the scene of another wonderful
strike, a large body of $400 ore hav-
ing been opened In the drift from the
100-foot level.
The strike in question was made
By the Eagles Nest Mining and Leas-
ing company, financed and fioated by
Alexander Russell, w. H.. Weber, H.
c. Morris, Charles r. Murdoch and
Lotus and Davis. These people, af-
ter a careful examination of the
Eagles Nest property, and the rich
vein OF the Fairview Eagle, became
satisfied that development would
open the same rich shoot in the
Eagles Nest ground. The lease was
secured, and work started less than a
month ago, and a thorough under
standing of conditions enabled the
company TO open the rich ore shoot
Immediately. Sacks have been or
dered and will soon be on the ground.
A complete hosting plant has been
purchased in Fairyiew, so no time
will be lost in placing it over the
shaft, and getting everything in read
mess for heavy production.
The strike in the Eagles Nest has
demonstrated the continuity of the
rich Fairview Eagle vein, and the res
idents of Fairview and vicinity are
clamoring for leases on the balance
Of the Eagles Nest and Hailstone
property. The groupings of the vein
are traceable into Ha%ilstone ground
and with proper development, thu
rich silver sulphide ore should b.
opened in that territory.
This section of the Fairview dis
trict is fast becoming a record break
er, as the Nevada Hills. Eagle
Eagles Nest. Dromedary Hump an,
Golden Boulder are all in rich ore
and are all sacking the high-grad,
ore for shipment.

I. the camp. II is estimated that owe
$4,000. 900 worth or ore is nov
blocked out in the different work
j ings on this property Most Of thi
! tonnage is of a shipping grade. Abou
, fifty men are employed in the differ
: ent workings on the Nevada Hills
: and more are added as fast as place
can be made for them. The ne'
/, railroad. arrangements for which ar
: practically completed, will be hui
/; right up 10 the loading station, ans
i being the property of the Nevad
inns Company, will make it possibl
o for nearly the entire output to j
j shipped TO the smelters.
q The Jarvis l~easeson the Fairvie'
Eagle. is daily sacklng large quaint
y ties OF ore that will assay better tina
I $1,000 per ton. while the main con
d pany workings are being opened I

for a distance of about seven or eigl
miles. At the extreme northern en-
