charge of the construction of the new
90 stamp mill at the Fairview mines a
few miles above Washington, expects
to have the mill completed by Septem-

the hill by a fine tramway over which
the ore will be transported. Sixty tons
a day will be the capacity of the mill.

piece OF property. A new Office for
