countered water. The strike was
made Tuesday afternoon and dur

the shaft. simultaneously with the
striking Of water came also the en-
countering in the shaft Of a heavy

posed quartz-porphyry. The vein
matter horns fairly we'll and gives
every indication that very important
results may be expected in the near
future.
Water was struck at the estimat-
ed depth. conclusions having been
drawn from the neighboring Spo-
kane shaft, in which the water level
was at 22O feet. The intention is to
continue sinking for some further
distance. probably so long as the
water can be handled with the
bucket. then at water level to drift

At the 200-foot level a station was
put in and a crosscut u sixty-three
feet to the south. For this entire
distance it is all vein matter. being
alternating streaks of quartz and
porphyry. This work demonstrated
among other things the continuity
OF the vein, as the same fine copper
stained ore on the surface was also
u in the crosscut. 1t also showed
a much disturbed condition, brought
about supposedly by the surface con-
ditions. there being a swale where
the shaft is sunk. The drifts I o be

the Majestic. Some good appearing
copper and iron-stained ledge mat

the short depth of eight feet. The
formation appears broken near the
surface. hence a vertical shaft will
be sunk until 1t becomes more set
tied, estimated at thirty feet. and
then the dip of the vein will be fol-
lowed. at least until the formation
is thoroughly proven.
The present work contemplates
thorough and systematic develop

have made with more advanced

Another shipment of fifty tons Of
ore was made by the Montgomery
Shoshone Consolidated this week.
Since the completion OF the Las We
gas & Tonopah Railway to Rhyolii
about 300 ton of ore have been ship
ped from this property. Steady
shipments of sacked ore will be con
tinued. Work on the railroad spur
from the RhyOlite siding to the mine
is being pushed with a large force of
men, and should be finished this
month. The spur is being built on
practically a three per cent grade,
and from the siding gains about 200
feet. Upon the completion of the
spur much ore will be loaded direct
without sacking.
Work on the big mill is going
ahead steadily, and the development
OF the ore bodies is being continued
on the several levels. With the mill
in construction on one side adjacent
to two producing shafts that are
busy day and night. and with the
extensive excavations for the railroad
grade in progress on the other side.
