Mineral Resources and Progress Around Fairview Mines
The El Paso Herald reports on multiple mining groups near Fairview including the Great Republic group twelve miles east and the Buffalo mine northwest of Fairview owned by E F Wilder and associates. The Oliver Mining Company led by Joseph Oliver plans deep shafts and tunnels, with ore ranging from copper to silver and gold. Other prospects include Hoosier Boy and Girl near Chloride, Denver group west of Fairview, Silver Bell near Chloride, and Thomas Scales as owner of several central lodes. Assays show milling ores from $4 to $95 per ton and high grade shipments up to $1,000 per ton in exceptional cases, with extensive development work and prospects for profitable mining if large-scale operations proceed.
