AVEST END. " .
During the week the West End
shipped 250 tons of ore to the Bel
mont mill at Millers. The winze on
the 150-foot level, which was started
last week on the ledge, is now down
eighteen feet with the bottom all in
ore. .,.,,-.
The west drift on the 200-foot
level has advanced fifteen feet during
the week and is now in 352 feet from
the main 'lateral drift. The face is
all in quartz, mixed with small seams
of pay ore. The upraise, sixty feet
from the face, which was also, start
ed last week, is up seventeen and
one-half feet with the top all in ore.
The west drift on the 400-foot level
has advanced eleven and one-half
feet and is now in a total of 132 feet
from the south crosscut. The face
is in. broken quartz with some pay
ore. The east drift has been ex
tended twenty-one and 6ne-half feet
'and is now in 464 feet from No. 2
shaft. This drift has forty-five feet
more to run before it connects with
No, 1 crosscut In the old shaft. The
face is in low grade quartz. The
stopes along thlB level east and west
of the shaft continue to produce the
regular amount of ore and Bhows no
material change since the last re
port.
shaft has' about three feet of good
ore exposed. The west stope on this
vein is up' about eighty-five feet and
the ledge averages about three feet
of milling ore. The stope on the in
cline vein also has about two feet of
good milling ore exposed.
200-Foot Level-J-From three to
eight feet of good milling ore is be
ing worked in the. stopes on the
north vein vfhich traverses a distance
of over 150 feet in length. Stoplng
is also being conducted oh the inter
mediate vein thirty 'feet below thje
200-foot level and the north vein is
exposed both east and west of the
shaft and about four feet of ore is
being mined."
TONOPAH EXTENSION.
Drifting and raising in three places
is the extent of the work being done
on the 400-foot level of the Exten
sion. The company is paying more
attention to development work at
present than to the work of extract
ing high grade, which accounts for
the small amount of ore shipped
The drift on' the south vein on the
400 level( has exposed five' feet of
good pay' ore. The raise on this
same vein is now up twelve feet,
This vein is being developed thor-
oughly and when the question of a
mill is settled, the work of extrac
tion can be rushed without the de
lay of developing the ore body. .The
770-foot level has made no material
change and the drift on the north
crosscut is being pushed ahead with
all possible rapidity.
JIM BUTLER.
The operations in the Stone Cabin
mine are confined to the stopes .on
'the first and second levels and
development and prospect work
which has been discussed will, appar
ently soon start in the other parts of
the mine. The stopes are yielding
their usual amount of good milling
ore and the shipments for the past
week aggregated 300 tons.
100-Foot Level A body of ore
nearly ten feet wide is exposed and
being worked in the stopes on the
south vein west of the shaft. This
ledge has remained the same in size
and values all the way up and the
indications are that it remains this
way1 until it nears the surface. The
stope on the north vein east of the
mines show up good
BELMONT.
; The workings in the Belmont have
advanced about 150 feet during the
week, with the usual amount of stop
lng on the Nevada vein on the 800
foot level. On . the 900-foot level
they are working in the stopes on
both the South and Nevada veins
with nov change in the ore. bodies,
No development work is Being done
on these two levels.
1000-Foot Level The west drift
on the South vein . is out 145 feet,
with an advance of nineteen feet for
the week, and shows about three and
one-half feet of a fair grade milling
ore in the face. A raise has been
started in the drift at a point twenty-
five feet back from the face, which
will be driven along on the vein
through to the 900-foot level. The
distance on the incline will be about
106 feet. The vein at the point
where the raise is started is about
four feet wide andr is all milling ore
The west drift on the ' Occidental
vein is out 111 feet, having advanced
eighteen feet and shows about four
feet of ore in the face of the drift,
The vein is low grade in values and I
is considerably broken up and mixed.
No. 1 raise in the 1009 west drift has
advanced eleven feet and' is up sixty
six feet. " The top of the raise shows
bunches of drag quartz carrying
some values., The east crosscut from
"A" vein on the 1000-foot level is
out 553 feet and has advanced forty
two feet since the last report. There
is no change in the face and the
work has been suspended in the
crosscut, as they have reached the
point under the old Belmont shaft
and are now preparing to raise and
make connections with the bottom of
the shaft.
The' winze on the 1056 is now
down 190 feet and has advanced
twenty feet. The bottom is still in
a vein formation, a mixture of por
phyry and quartz stringers carrying
low vafues. This week the winze
will reach the 1100-foot level, where
crosscutting and drifting ' will be
started to reach the vein and ore
shoot, which lies to the east. The
crosscut will be driven south to make
connections with the 1100-foot level
at the bottom of the 1054 winze
which is about 220 feet distant. The
east drift No. 2 from the 125-foot
level in the winze is out 115 feet and
has advanced twenty-eight feet. The
vein at this point is broken up and
mixed with stringers of quartz carry
ing fair values.
1100-Foot Level Raise No. 3
from the east drift has advanced ten
feet and is now up 115 feet, where It
connects with the 1000-foot level.
They are now commencing to stope
to the east from the bottom of the
raise. This will be known as the
1100 east stope. The west stope on
this level is still looking good and
has from five to ten feet of good
grade ore being worked. A cross
cut has been started from the main
shaft on this level out to the South
and Occidental veins, a distance of
about 600 feet from the station.
These two veins should be stronger
on this level as they have appeared
stronger when deptr. was reached.
When worked on the 1000 level they
were stronger than on the 900 level
and it is expected they will be still
better when found on this level.
tinued on the Macdonald vein in
three places below this level, which
show no material change. The stop
lng above the level on the A. B. K.
vein continues to show about a foot
of high grade ore.
MONTANA-TOXOPAH,
During the week the Montana mill
has crushed 1040 tons of ore; of this
745 tons came from the Montana
mine and the jemainder from the
MacNamara property.
On the first level of the mine the
east drift on the Triangle vein has
advanced twelve feet along the fault
and has not yet picked up the, vein.
The crosscut south from the Triangle
vein has made an advance of
eighteen feet with no change of for
mation in the face, It continuing to
show andecite with occasional string
ers of quartz. The west drift on a
branch of the Triangle vein has ad
vanced ten feet and the face shows
about a foot of milling ore. Stoping
is being conducted over the vein for
its' entire length and the easterly
100-foot section shows the ore body
to average about one and one-half
feet In width of a good grade milling
ore. The westerly 200-foot section
of the stope shows two streaks of a
good grade quartz ore aggregating
about five feet In width. . .
462-Foot Level The east drift on
the Triangle vein encountered a
fault this week after advancing
eighteen feet, which cut-off the vein
in the face and apparently faulted it
to the south. Where the fault was
encountered the vein averaged about
one foot in width and carried high
grade ore. The west drift has ad
vanced twelve feet and is now out
thirty-six feet from the crosscut,
with the face showing eighteen
inches of good milling ore. The
stopes along the Macdonald vein at a
distance of 1000 feet west of the
shaft average about four feet of good
grade ore. .
515-Foot Level The winze on the
South vein west of the shaft has ad
vanced nine feet and is now down
twenty-two feet. This winze is all in
a good grade of milling ore. The
east drift on the new vein recently
cut in the southwest crosscut has ad
vanced eighteen feet and shows
about one foot of good milling ore.
The west drift from the same vein
has advanced fifteen feet and has ex
posed two feet of good milling ore.
565-Foot Intermediate level
Stoplng has been continued on the
south branch of the Martha Vein
which is about two and one-half feet
wide and, of good oxidized ore.
615-Foot Level The raise on the
Martha vein, 150 feet east of the
shaft, has advanced thirteen feet,
The vein in the top of the raise is of
gooa mining grade and averages
about two feet in width. The south
crosscut west of the shaft, which is
headed for the Triangle vein, has ad
vanced forty-eight feet. The face of
the crosscut is in rhyo'ite containing
broken mineralized quartz. The
east drift on the new vein recently
encountered near the Midway line
and at a point 650 feet west of the
shaft, has made an advance of fifteen
feet. The face continues to show
streak about one foot wide of a mill
ing grade ore. Stoping is still con-
MACNAMARA.
The shipments for the week from
the MacNamara to the Montana mill
aggregated 300 tons. The company
is making preparations to sink at the
bottom of the shaft to an additional
depth of 200 feet. When the dia
mond drill was operating in the mine
some time ago it encountered a vein
while crosscutting at a point 270
feet below the shaft, and with the ex
pectation of picking up this vein and
also striking the continuation of
others, the work will be commenced.
The timbers have been ordered and
necessary arrangements made.
200-Foot level The west drift on
this level is now operating in four
feet of good ore. A raise has been
Btarted at a point about ten feet from
the face of the drift on the vein and
is now up thirty feet with the same
amount of ore in sight as when the
raise was started. About fifty feet
above this level, in an intermediate
stope, drifting is being done to the
east. This drift shows about two
feet of good milling ore in sight.
Stope No. 1 has three feet of good
ore exposed for a distance of fifty
feet from which a good portion of
the shipping ore is extracted. A raise
on thei vein about 100 feet west of
stope Nq. 1 is now up about sixty
feet.
300-Foot Level The raise 650
feet west of the shaft on this level,
is now up forty feet and has four and
one-half feet of milling ore .in sight.
The ledges throughout the mine are
looking excellent and continue to
produce their usual amount of ship
ping ore. j

MIDWAY.
Nothing out of the usual transpir
ed. in the Midway workings during
the week. The company's policy of
prosecuting development work con
tinues and only enough ore is being
hoisted to pay mining expenses. This
the company can afford to do with
its healthy treasury, but it is expect
ed that the operations under ground
will soon be extensive.
On the 235-foot level, the north
crosscut from the east drift is be
ing rapidly shoved ahead. The face
shows quartz which carries very lit

drift on this level continues to en

are increasing in value. The north
