ToNoPAH MINING

or the past week total OF 40
feet Of new ground was broken in
the different workings of this COM
pany, which was divided as fol-
lows; Mizpah 1451a feet, Silver
Top 1922 feet, Red Plume lit
feet.
Silver Top, 240 foot level The
only work being done on this level
is the sending ahead of the west
drift from the south crosscut, which
is following stringer of milling
ore one foot in width.
240 foot level-A north crosscut
has been started from the main
of the shaft for the purpose of OPEN
ing up new block of ground. The
face shows andesite The regular
stopping on both this and the $40
foot levels, on the Valley View and
Silver Top veins, is producing the
regular tonnage.
440 foot level-The west drift
from the footwalI of the Valley
View stope exposes two feet OF mill
ing ore, which is quite an improve
ment over the showing of last week.
$40 foot level-The east drift
from the south crosscut from the
main east drift, shows from one to
two feet of milling ore. The HinIe

by the south crosscut, shaws mar

Mizpah-200 foot level-The
southeast drift under the Mizpah
fault shows quartz carrying no val
ues The south crosscut from the
stope on the South ledge has inter
sected from two to three feet Of
milling ore.
400 foot level-The south cross
cut from the main east drift has
cut several narrow streaks of ore of
fair values which should open up
favorably with more prospecting.
500 foot level-A raise is being
sent up on the ledge encountered
by the south crosscut from the main
west drift, exposing foot of mill
ing ore in the top. Both the east
and west drifts in the inter-level
between the 500 and 500 foot lev
els, are being sent ahead on from
three to four feet of low grade
quartz.
500 foot level-Two new raises
have been started from the main
west drift to tap the easterly work.

Red Plume-600 foot level-The
north crosscut from the main west
drift is at present passing through
a formation that shows evidence of
considerable faulting. The rock is

for prospecting purposes, shows da

The mill report shows that the
average number of stamps dropping
for the week totaled 81 out of the
100. During the week $3.50 tons
of ore we're crushed, of value of
$21 per ton, from which recovery
averaged 80 per cent. The bullion
shipment totaled 43 bars, of a value
of $3.50 per bar Thirty tons of
concentrates were also shipped, val
ued at $425 per ton.
MONTANA
During this week 25 bars of bul-
lion were shipped by the Montana
to the Selby smelter. The bars ag-
eraged about so pounds each and
are the result of the bi-monthly
melt.
The mill has been grinding stead
lily and has crushed $50 tons during
the week. from which an extraction
of 92 per cent was recorded. In
the mine 207 feet of development
work was added to the workings.
390-foot level-The winze on the
main Triangle vein was lowered 13
feet. the bottom showing the vein
to be fiatter than usual and carry
ing about three feet of good ore on
the hanging wall side, with no foot
wall in sight The east drift ON
this vein was extended 16 feet, but
the ledge is somewhat broken up n
the face and carrying two feet Of
good mill ore.
SIS foot level Stopping continues
on the main Triangle foot wall vein
and also on the South vein with
no change to note. The drift on
the hanging wall branch of the Trl-
angle vein east OF the winze con-
tinues to follow two and half feet
OF good mill ore.
565 foot level The west drift on
the Triangle vein. which was re-
Gently encountered east OF the shaft,
has been advanced t2 feet along an
average of four feet of milling ore.
