Fairview Mine: Relief Hill Searls, Box 136-1, photo, Fairview Bridge Asbestos Mine Searls, Box 136-5, photo, Asbestos Mine, Washington, 1946 Fairview Mine, C. M. Wilson, per Pac Tel & Tel Directory 3-1912 “The old Washington district, above Nevada City, is producing considerable gold and chrome, and has started to yield asbestos. The Washington Asbestos Co., controlled by Oakland capital, has placed 10 stamps of the old 20-stamp mill at the Fairview mine in operation and is shipping high-quality asbestos to Oakland. The mill has been equipped with special separating machinery, making tow products. Shortage of water is hampering work, but as soon as the fall rains set in the mill will be operated steadily. John D. Hoff is president and general manager.” Mining & Scientific Press, page 700, 11-10-1917 “The Washington Asbestos Co. has overhauled the old Fairview mill and will soon have it operating on asbestos. The flume-line has been repaired and everything around the mine placed in shape for a steady output. The asbestos is stated to be of fine quality; it will be shipped to San Francisco, Oakland and San Francisco people are interested chiefly.” Mining & Scientific Press, page 588, 10-20-1917 “The Washington Asbestos Co., Oakland capital, has purchased an extensive area of asbestos-bearing ground in the Washington district, a short distance from the Fairview mine. The deposit is about 150 ft. wide and has been traced for 5000 ft. The old 20stamp Fairview mill has been acquired and a tram built from the mine to mill. Arrangements have been made for the addition of special machinery to the mill for sorting. Itis estimated that the product averages 10% of fine quality asbestos. John D. Hoff, of Oakland, is president, and R. E. Conrad secretary-treasurer.” Mining & Scientific Press, page 364, 9-8-1917 “The Fairview mine is now under the management of Arthur W. Hoge, who is identified with the Montana mine, at Grass Valley, and the Downey at Jones bar.” Mining & Scientific Press, pg. 768, 6-3-1911 “Arthur W. Hoge was elected president at the annual meeting of the Fairview G.M. Co. The 20-stamp mill, a few miles above Washington, which was damaged by snow last winter, is being repaired.” Mining & Scientific Press, pg. 674, 5-13-1911 “The construction of the Fairview mill is nearly complete and the management expects to have the stamps dropping by the middle of the month. While the work on the mill has been under way over 400 ft. of drifts have been driven on the shoot and several raises run blocking out a large amount of ore.” Mining & Scientific Press, pg. 315, 9-3-1910 “Work is to be resumed on the 20-stamp mill at the Fairview mine in the Washington district early this month. Underground work has been continued throughout the winter and considerable ore blocked out. C. M. Wilson is manager.” Mining & Scientific Press, pg. 304, 4-2-1910 “The Fairview is arranging for the completion of its mill and tramway.” Mining & Scientific Press, pg. 272, 3-5-1910 “A new shoot has been opened 300 ft. from the cross-cut adit in the Fairview mine assaying $30 per ton. The ore at this point is 10 ft. wide and cut at a vertical depth of about 500 feet.” Mining & Scientific Press, pg. 142, 1-15-1910 “The main vein has been opened 300 ft. from the adit at the Fairview. It is 10 ft. wide and samples average $30 per ton. C. M. Wilson is superintendent.” Mining & Scientific Press, pg. 109, 1-8-1910 “Work has been stopped for the winter on the Fairview mill near Washington on account of the heavy snow.” Mining & Scientific Press, pg. 803, 12-11-1909 “The raise from the adit level to the surface of the Fairview mine has been completed. It was driven a distance of nearly 500 ft. and was in pay-ore the entire way. Drifts are being run in both directions on the ore and a large tonnage will be blocked out by the time the mill is completed. The plant is situated 800 ft. below the present level and a lower adit will be driven at some future date to open the vein at this point.” Mining & Scientific Press, pg. 342, 9-11-1909 91
