ing is done, the ore being shipped to
the Belmont mill Just as it is broken
down, and q 50-ton ear Is going for

MacNAMARA
Development work continues in this
property. in the limited block Of ground
in which they are permitted to work
owing to the injunction served upon
them BY the West End Mining COM
pany. The trial of this case was set
for April Goth, but has now been post
poned until August Sd, whcn the ques-
ton will undoubtedly be taken up. NO.
3 upraise from the 300-foot level, which
was started about $50 feet west Of the
shaft, Is now up 81 feet and has, been
in ore for the past 25 feet. This raise
will connect with the stope from No.
2 upraise, work in the latter having
been temporarily suspended.
MONTANA-r0N0PAH
Development work in the Montana
Tonopah continues at a rapid pace, over
40 feet of new work having been done
during the past week, with results that
are most gratifying to the management,
as the veins upon which they are work
ing have shown marked Improvement
Work has been resumed on the first or
392-foot level, where they are run
ming a south crosscut to cut the Martha
| vein which is opened up to quite an ex-
tent on the second, or 392-foot eve
The faulted portion Of the Macdonald
vein has recently been picked up on
this level and some good milling ore Is
being stopped from it. The ledge shows
a width Of about four feet.
On the second, or 492-foot level
stopinp continues on the Macdonald
vein west Of the shaft. the ledge show
ing about the same as last week.
ToNoPAH COMPANY
The most important news this week
from the Tonopah Mining company
property is the statement that they
have succeeded in picking up the big
Mizpah vein again on the 500-foot eve
Some time z this ledge faulted at a
point about 900 feet east of the shaft,
and after prosecuting south and east
along the fault about $50 feet the ore
body was again found. This is the
largest throw yet encountered IN the
mine. The vein as far as developed
shows up a strong body of good ore,
but enough work has net yet been done
to determine the full size of the vein.
The east drift on the 500-fcot level
will be continued and connection made
with the Belmont workings on the sixth
level, in order to secure better air cir
~culation. It is expected that this con-
n~ection will be made within the next
100 feet. The regular work is being
carried on on all levels in the Mizpah
and Silver Top claims and much de-
velopmcnt work is in progress. Cross
cutting north has been started on the
second or 240-foot level Of the Silver
Top claim to prospect The ground, 1s
no work has been lone in this section
Of the claim on this level tcfore, and it
presents a large block Of virgin terri
tory. On the 900-foot level the neces.
gary connections are being made pre-
paratory to sinking the shaft down to
the 1,300-toot level. This work ought
to be completed within the next two
weeks, when the work Of sinking the
shaft to develop the ground at greater
depth win begin. The work is very i'm
poricnt and will be watched closely by
all who have interests in mining prop
critics in Tonopah
