 southerly Over on that hill MT
 Giroux says there are developments lof much importance Ed Block has
 a property, known as the Fairview
 on which Fred Pendergast and part
 ners are contracting, and drifting on
 the vein. MT. Giroux says they
 have opened a body of quartz car
 rying $40 in gold and copper values. I Mir. Giroux says if this is not the making of a mine he is mistaken and
 that he does not make many mistakes
 when things look as they do at that property. The Fairview lies to the
 west of the Nelson tunnel which is
 being operated by the Philadelphia
 Mining company, with J. P. Sweet
 and the Nelson boys looking after
 the work. They are cross-cutting on
 contract with Mir Block and other
 owners of ground to the westward,
 and when they reach the Fairview i and Spring Green veins, both of which are on Mir. Blocks ground, they will have a depth of about 600 feet perpendicular under the three feet of $40 ore which Mir. Block
 has opened Up.
 Besides what the Philadelphia may
 gain on their contract with MT. Block, they will gain much on the Nelson vein as it will be thoroughly cross-cut at that level, and other large lenses of ore have been found.
 Eastward of the Philadelphia com pany's Nelson tunnel which was planned and driven for a long dis tance under the late George P. liar
 rington, lie several other good veins
 which may also be tapped by cross
 cutting from the Nelson tunnel
 Whether this is in the plans of the
 Philadelphia people has not been an nounced. Further west of the Nel- son is the Saratoga property which Deming and Patterson are backing and it is reported that southern capital is to join in the exploitation of this property. It is a direct ex- tension of the famous old Crown King mine which produced the pie ture gold rock that made the biggest boom i'll early day quartz mining i'll the Bradshaws. The old Peck silver only few miles north of this same place, was the most spectacular of | the old-time silver producers and IS also getting in shape to again hold | the boards in the production of the white meal. O. I. Tawney has set ! his mind upon seeing the property a | producer again and thinks he has success in sight.
 Back between the Swastika mine and the town of Crown King lies several other properties The Gold King, with only small operation at present, but with a large area of Then the Blue Bird, which belongs to Tom Roach and Austin Mulvenon, lies next It is being operated by Strain & Co. of Martinez, $ -alif., and they are. shipping their a econd carload of ore recently.
