No. IL south crosscut. at n point 600
feet south of the east drift. encountered
a body of ore fully 6 feet wide, carry
ing good milling values throughout.
Drifts have been started east n west
on the new find and have followed the
ledge IL feet in zach direction, the ore
body showing as strong in both faces as
when first encountered. Two machine
drills, working double shift. are used
in these drifts and the work is being
pushed as fast as possible. The ledge
shows an excellent, smooth hanging
wall, which looks exactly like the hang
ing wall Of the Occidental vein opened
up on the s00-foot level, and the man
agement is almost sure that it is the
1900 lol-~ xLa o.. ho.n1 nf tba eano
character. The strike was made about
200 feet north of the sideline of the
Rescue property, and the strike Of the
vein is almost due east and west. The
ledge lies almost perpendicular, having
a slight dip to the south.
Montana Tonopah
A new vein of oxidized ore, over 3
feet in width and averaging over $500
a ton, is the good news from the Mon
Jana Tonopah this week. This ledge
was found on the third or 515-foot level
in the east end of the stope on the
South vein. A winze which has been
started on the new find is now down
nearly 90 feet and shows the ledge to
be perpendicular, not dipping a foot to
100, and for the whole 20 feet thus far
developed it maintains its size and
richness. This is an entirely new vein.
and from present indications it prom
Uses to make one of the best bodies of
ore vet found in the mine. A erosscut
is now being run to encounter this vein
on the 615-foot level, and it is the in
t~ention to continue the Wine down and
make connection. 1t will take about
125 feet of work to bring this erosscut
to the point where the Wine will make
connection, but when completed it will
give fully 125 feet of backs to work
upon. The mill continues to do ex-
cellent work, the extraction this week
being SO Is per cent.
Midway
The extensive prospecting campaign
inaugurated by this company is being
carried out as fast as possible, good
Roadway having been made in the north
crosscuts on the lower levels, which are
running through virgin ground. The
crosscuts on the S35 and ~1,035-foot
levels have passed through the big body
of quartz, both faces now showing an
desite mixed with quartz, the formation
in which the ore bodies in Tonopah are
found, and the management is greatly
encouraged by the change.
