10 feet.
Work in the West End
More attention is now being paid to
development and prospecting work in
this property than for some time. and
important operations are being carried
on at several points. Stopping continues
from the 150-foot level and a good
grade of ore is obtained, the vein show,
ing a width of from 4 to 6 feet in the
back of the stope.
On the 200-foot level the west lateral
drift has been continued, the face show
ing lunches of rich ore and the balance
second grade rock. 1t looks as though
they are entering the shoot of ore
opened up on the level above.
-Four hundred-foot level-Stoping
continues from the west drift from No.
2 shaft, the vein yielding from 3 to 5
feet of high grade milling ore and con-
siderable second-clas ore. A west
drift from the south crosseut west Of
the shaft has been started and is now
in about 10 feet, the face being full of
low grade quartz. The stope from No.
3 raise 60 feet east of the shaft shows
from 3 to 4 feet of good shipping ore.
No. 4 raise 60 feet east of No. 3 is up
As feet, having passed through several
seams of quartz, some of which give
good assays. Prospecting will be done
on the seams as soon as the raise
reaches the hanging wall. No. . raise,
which is $50 feet east of the shaft, is
up 80 feet, the top showing small
stringers of pay ore. No. 6 raise, still
65 feet further east, is up 10 feet, show
ing quartz and small seams of high
grade ore in the top.
The weeks ore shipments consisted
of 205 tons to the mills.
Tonopah Extension
Work on the first, or 35-foot level, is
being pushed ahead as fast as possible
in order to be prepared to ship the mill
dump as soon as the necessary arrange
ments with the local mills are made.
The north crosseut was sent out 90 feet
under the dump, when a west drift was
started, which is now out about 80 feet
from the crosscut, from which numer-
Gus raises will be sent up to tap the
big pile of milling ore on the surface,
which is estimated to contain 10000
tons. Considerable prospecting work
is going ON on the 400 and 770-foot
levels, where some very interesting
ground is being opened up. On the 400
foot level the south crosscut in the ex-
treme west workings of the mine is out
26O feet from the main west drift, all
in lode ~porphyry. OF late occasional
stringers of quartz nave been encoun-
tered, showing some values. The
stringers have an east and west strike
and dip to the north. On the 77O-foot
level the west drift, which has been fol
lowing a body of quartz, is out 100 feet
from the main north crosscut, the face
at present being in lode p%orphyry, the
body of quartz having faulted to the
north. After running about 100 feet
further, north and south crosscuts will
be sent out to thoroughly prospect the
oround. A raise will also be sent up
from the 600-foot level and connection
made, which will give a much better
circulation of air throughout the west
ern workings.
Montana onopah
Pursuing it's policy of devoting the
greater portion of its energy to the
prospecting and opening up OF new
ground the Montana Tonopah Mining
made good progress this week
throughout the different workings OF
