The winze which was started on the

about 500 feet north of the shaft is
rapidly nearing the 200-foot point, 1t
being now down 1913 feet. A station
will be cut at the 200-foot point and
the Big ledge crosscut. The Wine will
then be pushed to a further depth and
the ledge thoroughly prospected. The

BELMONT
Each week OF development work adds
more and more TO the ore reserves
of the Belmont company. Nearly every

MONTANA
The work Of developing the mine of

out considerably during the past week.
Ore is being extracted from the Mac
donald vein on three levels and also
from the South vein both east and west
of the shaft OF the third and fourth
levels. the latter vein being from 3 to 4
feet wide and of a good milling grade.
