Showing On the Fairview.


 6,0O0 feet. Development work to date has been centered on the Fairviev claim, although sufficient work ina: been done on the other claims of the group to demonstrate the continuity to the north of the vein and its values An open cut on the Fairview ledgJ shows for a length of 30 feet three distinct veins-one along the hanging wall. another through the center ana third along the footwall of the de posit. I1 other words, the veins TUT with the course of the ledge in what are termed bands
 A tunnel has been driven along tho center vein, or band, for a distance ot 225 feet. Near the portal the pay streak was Is inches wide. In thI breast it is four feet wide. A 50-tor shipment sent to the Humboldt smei ter gave the following returns. Gold l.l6 ounces; silver, "A ounces; copper trace; iron, PAS per cent; insoluble 4o.S per cent. Picked samples gave returns of from $40 10 S70 per ton principally in gold. The ledge mas |; varying breadth of from 40 to lOi feet. The bands along the hanging and footwalls have an average widtl of two feet and gold value of iron $4 to S20 per ton.
 Nelson Will Soon Ship Ore.
 With the possible exception of tn, War EagleGladiator group, the es tate of the Nelson Mining Compan! is more thoroughly developed thar any other in the north of Crown King basin. Within a snort time ore ship ments will go forward regularly tC the Crown King mill. As means tC that end, the company has built ; standard-gauge railroad from th' mine to Crown King station and i! now constructing two 250-ton or' bins-one at the portal of the Nelson tunnel and the other on the. main lin; railroad at Grown King station. Int success with which the oil flotatioi process is treating ores in the Crow. King mill is the reason assigned fci the decision to ship the Nelson orc to that plant
 The lower. or main tunnel on thi Nelson has a length of 3!050 feet. I ! has been in a well defined ore body for the last 200 feet. The ore is sai, to sample about S25 per ton across ; breadth of three feet. A shaft sunl depth of 250 feet near the apex O the mountain cut a six-foot vein 0 SIP ore. A crosscut run from tn, | bottom of the shaft iEtersected thre. veins from two to four feet wid which sampled about Sl0 in gold pc, ton. The lower tunnel will have l; depth from surface of about 1000 fee when it is directly below this shaf; Near the face of the tunnel a cross cut is being run to tap the extrem' western. or War Eagle vein. The ob jective is about l40 feet ahead. T. the upper tunnel winzc is being sunl to connect with an upraise from thi lower, the depth between them bein; about 240 feet. The winze is down s: feet and is in pay ore. The property has been sufficiently developed tC demonstrate ore-yielding possibilitie! equal to the best gold mines of tn; famous Oatma1 field, and has con siderable tonnage on dump awaiting ! opportunity for reduction.
 Endlini1g the Fairview and the Nei son properties on the cast is the fam ous Lincoln group. a veteran of early territorial days The Lincoln has pro duced about S6O00O0 worth of golC ore and is apparently prepared to pro duce a tonnage having value far 1T excess of that figure. The Lincoln ledge is a continuation Of the Tigci Gold ledge and is being developed UT der mineral conditions which indicat, long and remune-ative period o productivity. The ore mined in form CT years had an average value of S3s It was treated in the i0-stamp mill or the property. Gold values at that time ran as hign as Sl20 per ton. Ir this day of more efficient mining and milling appliances, the large tonnage of from SIS to $20 ore exposed in the workings and on dump can be hand led at a good profit. The tailings dump of the old mill will likewise prove remunerative when subjected to the oil Notation process.
