hosting capacity may be given the other
two shifts to raise ore. The drifts on
the different levels above the 900 on
both the Silver Top and Mizpah claims
were advanced respectively from II to
20 feet during the week and stopping
continues on all of them. and a fair
grade of milling ore is being extracted
and sent to the big mill of the company
at Millers. They are still following the
quartz on the 900-foot level, drifting
west of the shaft. and an advance of Is
feet is reported for the week. The face
is in solid quartz. with no perceptible
change from last week. Drifting west
still continues.

NACHANARA
Bigger and better than ever is tie
news from the Mcnamara mine this
week. The ore body now exposed in the
face of the No. 2 upraise is a perfect
jewelry store, the entire body glistening
with the pure metal. Some of the ore
being broken down is red with ruby sill
yer, while much of 1t is solid black
metal. While this vein has been rich
ever since it was encountered, the show
ing this week is much better han ever.
The face of No. 2 stope upraise from
the 300-foot level, 600 feet west of the
shaft, was advanced 5 feet during the
week., n is now up los feet. and shows
up a magnificent body of ore IL feet
wide and 6 feet think. all of which is
high grade shipping. No. / stope up
raise is now up 40 feet. This raise is
80 feet east Of No. 2 raise and is being
connected with No. Q raise every 10 or
IL feet. and the entire body of ore be-
tween the two raises is broken down
and shipped. No. 8 upraise, which was
started at a point so feet west of No.
2 raise on the 30O-foot level, is now up
about 25 feet. This work is being done
to catch the west segment of the vein
encountered in raises No. 1 and Q and
which was cut of by a fault. 1t is ex-
pected tina the ledge will be encoun-
tered within the next 80 feet. and there
Is no doubt but that 1t will prove as rich
as that part of the ledge now being de-
veloped. Shipments are going forward
regularly to the Western Ore Purchas-
ing company's plant at Millers. One
car. containing about so tons, was sent
out on Monday and another one of about
so tons went forward on Thursday. The
output to the sampler is now averaging
100 tons a week.
ToMoPAK Ell.
All efforts in this c~ompany's prop
erty are being directed towards develop
ing the Immense milling grade ore
bodies which exist in that mine. The
amount of this kind of ore in sight is
enormous. On the 270-foot level the
ledge is opened up for a distance OF
over 1000 feet. and the vein will aver
age over 6 feet wide for the entire dis
lance and is all Of good milling grade.
