Jim Butler
Never in the history of the mine has
the showing been anywhere near what
it is today. The constant development
work being carried on has been re-
warded with results which are most
satisfactory. Good bodies of ore have
been opened up on the 100 and 20O-foot
levels, and the prospects on the 400
foot level are the best. The shaft has
been sent down to the 700-foot point
and crosscuts started this week to open
up the ground at depth, and in every
way possible the work in the mine has
been done along lines which will place
the property in the foremost rank.
During the past week a total of 3S1a
feet of new ground has been broken,
the work being carried on through the
Stone Cabin shaft.
Midway
Steady development and prospecting
work is being carried on throughout
the Midway property, and a great deal
of new grounl is being opened up.
Several of the crosscuts are in a very
promising formation, and it would not
be surprising to hear of the cutting of
a new ore body any day. During the
week the regular shipment of 100 tons
of ore wen. out to the mill.
200-foot level-In the southeast
crosscut, which is being sent out south
of the shaft some good %stringers of ore
are being cut, and the work promises
to yield good results before long.
300-foot level Stopping is going on
on the South vein, 400 feet south of the
shaft, the slopes being up about 10 feet
and showing a foot of high grade ore.
This ledge has been oroned up by an
east drift for over $50 feet, exposing a
continuous ore holy averaging over a
foot wide and all high grade ore.
4S5-foot Intermediate level-The only
work being lone on this level is in the
slopes on the Brougher vein 300 feet
north of the shaft, which are producing
about 3 feet of good milling ore.
535-foot level-The west drift, which
has been following the Brougher vein.
is now out 400 feet north of the shaft
the face showing stringers of ore. A
is being sent out southeast
from the south crosscut for the pur-
pose of prospecting that portion of the
ground on this level. The face shows
p%orphyry.
COO-foot level-A northeast crosscut
has been started from a point 300 feet
moth of the shaft, in order to get I'M
der the Brougher vein, which has been
opened up on the 435-foot level, and
incidentally prospect the ground.
MacNamara
From time to time we have been tell
ing our readers of the high grade ore
encountered in the MacNamara mine,
and to prove the truth Of our assertions
it is only necessary for us to point to
the fact of the arrest last week of a
bunch of miners who were coming OH
shift in this mine, charged with high
grading; in fact some of the rich rock
was found on their persons and more
of IL in their homes. While the ores
coming from all the Tonopah mines
