REPORT OF fA|RV|tW


Daisy mill from the Fairview mine.
This was soon completed, the neces-
sary connections made and mining
and milling operations begun. These
operations are covered in the report
of Mr.. Berry submitted herewith.
1t will be seen by the report re-
ferred to that the operations to
date have been fairly successful n
it now seems that production for the
fiscal 1919 may equal or ex-
coed that of the year just closed.
The credit for the successful out
come of last years operations is
due to Mr.. Gibson Berry, general
Superintendent; Mr.. E. Michal, mill
superintendent, and particularly to
Mr.. r. J.. Ledwick, mine superin-
tendent, who cannot be too highly
commended for the successful re-
suits he obtained in the develop
ment of the mine during the past
year.
The report of the general super
intendent is as follows:
A report covering mining and
milling operations of the Fairview
Round Mountain Mines company,
for the year ending December 81,
1918, is herewith submitted:
The company owns the Fairview
patented lode claim containing
1886 acres and the lode rights of
the Daisy group consisting of the
Blue Jay No. 8, Blue Jay No. So
Daisy fraction and Solid Gold lode
claims comprising 400 acres. The
Daisy group has been surveyed for
patent. and the application is now
pending.
Mining operations in 1918 were
conducted principally in the Fair
view claim; S,SO7.7 tons of ore
having a gross value of $191,951.49
were mined and milled, yielding bull
lion worth $17S, SO1.39, represent
ing an extraction of 92.1 per cent
of the gross value of the ore. Fig
ures per ton are as follows. Gross
value $21.7936. Tailings loss
$1.4931, and net recovery ~$20.3005.
The total operating cost exclus-
i've of depreciation vas $63.103.15,
or $7.1645 per ton, of which amount
~s1S,539.3O or $2.104S per ton was
for milling.
One thousand five hundred and
forty-six feet of development work
was performed at a cost of $1S.-
973.15, or 1904 per foot.
During the year 1851 tons of
ore and waste we're removed and
trammed to the surface. OF this
amount S,SO7.7 IONS of ore were
sent to the mill and 1888 tons
of waste placed upon the dumps.
During the first half of the year
mining operations were confined to
the south segment of the Fairview
and to the fault fissure between the
north and south segments of this
vein. In the period from January
/ to June 80, 1923 IONS were taken
from this section of the mine. Dur
ing the year 200 IONS of ore were
broken in the fault fissure stope of
which 1900 tons were removed and
milled and 1900 tons left in the
stope.
In June the $50 level was adj
SOD - h& 40Ht Ltror
this level raises were driven on the
north segment of the Fairview vein
and an intermediate level. the 220,
established above the $50 level.
Slopes on the vein from this level
and ON stringers in the hanging
wall of the vein with a strike par
allel to the main fault fissure yielded
a good grade of ore, but during the
last half of the year So per cent
of the ore milled was taken from
the north segment of the Fairview
vein.
In December a crosscut known as
10 crosscut was started from the
surface to cut certain stringers east
of the main fault fissure and to ia
~cilitate mining operations in the
eastern portion of the mine.
In general the outlook for the
coming veal is most encouraging.
The mine is well equipped, the levels
accessible and there is more ore in
sight than at any time in the his
