ADDS STEADILY
TO THE WORLDS WEALTH

Miner
work, owing to the caving nature o..
ground, but this has been -.
through, and it is expected thar -
progress will be made when the. bor.
again started.
MacNamara
A visit to- the underground worr;-
of the MacNamara mine will co,,;-
anyone of the merits of this pro,a-.N
At several points in the different H.
strong bodies of ore have been exn..-'
and opened up and each weeks VOL
adds immensely to- the ore reserves =.
wfthstanding the shipments to the min
and smelter average seven carloads -
80 tons each and every week. snne.;.
tendent Chandler is working a mo.
wherever he can be p~roftably smplov.
and is developing up the ore bodies :.
a much faster pace than the extraetio,
is diminishing them.
Jim Butler
The usual progress was made thropoh |
out the workings from the Stone C.I;. |
shaft this week, a total of I13 fea, :, |
new ground having been brohen.. all a.
which has been for development mn, |
poses. A few days ago Wort thrmsb |
Wandering Boy shaft was discontinued
temporarily, pending important change,
in the plan of development, and il il /
expected that operations will be 70.
sumed very soon. This gave rise. No
doubt. to the rumor that the Jim Butlo, /
had ceased operations, which was All. /
solutely baseless. Work is going an +
through the Stone. Cabin staff with /
mere vim than ever, and the ore bodies /
being developed are showing up better /
every day. By far the larger portion T
of the company's workings is in ore F
and no time is being lost in sinking the /
shaft down to the 700-foot level in |
order to crosscut and tap the known I
veins at that depth. During the past
week the shaft was lowered II feet
making the bottom now down 6s71S
feet.
Montana
The Montana mill worked through.
out last week to perfection, having had
no trouble from lack of power. the re.
suit being that the 40 stamps were
dropping continuously, crushing 1,l58
IONS of ore, the full capacity of the
plant. The per cent of extraction con
tinues around the 80 per cent mark.
which is certainly a high rate of saving.
Nothing of a sensational nature trans
PRED in the mine since our last report.
The workings on all the levels continue
to make an excellent showing, yielding
the necessary amount of ore to keen
their mill running full blast without
drawing upon the reserves to any great
extent. Development and prospecting
work is being kept up in several see
tions of the property, a total Of III
feet Of new ground having been broken
during the past week.
On the first, or 390-foot level, the
west drift on the South vein was adj
vanced 20 feet this week, the face be-
ing out 100 feet and exposing 1 feet
of milling ore. About 40 feet back
from the face a Wine has been started
on this vein and is down about 6 feet,
exposing 2 feet Of good milling ore in
the bottom. Between the Wine and the
breast Of this drift a raise has been
started, the top showing 2h feet OF
high grade milling ore.
On the second, or 465-foot level, the
old slopes on the Macdonald vein, be-
tween 700 and 1000 feet west OF the
shaft, are producing an average OF
feet of milling ore. In the new stOpe'
to the west of the old ones, the VEN -
fully 6 feet wide, all of which is gooa
milling ore.
