,.nv has no, sold an ounce of silver Tor
nearly two months, and now has stored
in the vaults of the Selby Smelter cora
many about 100000 ounces of the whi'e
metal. The bars of bullion producer
by the company's mill are sent 10 'he
refinery, where the gold is separated
and n,aeed ON the market and the silver
stored for future sale.
Montana Mine
Durinp the past week the melting
furnaces for the refinery plant at thc
Montana mill arrived in TonoPah ana
The foundations for the same are no"
being put in. 1t is expected that every
thing will be in readiness to start the
plant up within a month. This plant
will reduce the cyanide preeipitates 10
bullion, which will be shipped out in
bars, thus making quite a saving in ex-
press charges, which will soon pay for
expenses incurred by installing the re-
6nery. The mill has been running con-
stantly all week, crushing 964 tons OF
ore, of which 70S came from their W
mine and $50 from the MacNamara, the
records showing an extraction of W per
cent. Throughout the mine the usual
development work has been sent ahead,
with results that are very satisfactory.
During the week a total of l16 feet OF
new ground was broken on the several
Levels. The slopes Throughout the mine
continue to produce a good tonnage OF
ore, the veins holding their own in
strength and value. Drifts are being
sent along the Triangle vein which was
recently encountered on the 465 and
515-foot levels and the ledge thoroughly
prospected. Considerable development
work is in progress on the several levels
of the mine and a great deal of new
ground is being opened up by the vari-
Gus prospecting crosscuts, which are
beng sent out in territory thought to
contain good ore bodies.

Operations continue to be confined to
the slopes ON the various levels FROM
the Stone Cabin shaft and a good grade
of ore is being extracted. Plans for
future development work from both
the Wandering Boy and Stone Cabin
shafts are under discussion, and it IS
thought that before long work will be
resumed along these lines.
100-foot level-The stope on the north
vein east of the shaft is being carried
up wei a length of 80 feet and is up
on an average of 80 feet, showing 3 feet
Of good ore in the back. The west stope
on this vein is up 80 feet for a length
of 90 feet, the vein averaging from 2h
to , feet of milling ore. The stope on
the incline vein, which was started 1T
its junction with the north vein, west
of the shaft, is up % feet for a length
of 60 feet, exposing about 2 feet Of
milling ore. The slopes on the South
vein, west of the shaft, expose a fine
body of ore fully 10 feet wide, all Of
which carries good values and is being
sent to the mill without sorting. This
stope is up 40 feet and has yielded an
average of 10 feet of ore all the way.
200-foot level-The slopes on the
North vein on this level are being car
ried up we a distance of $50 feet and
show the vein to vary from 3 to s feet
in width, all good milling ore. On the
intermediate level, 30 feet below the
200-foot level, stopping is going OF on
the North vein east and west of the
shaft and an average of 4 feet of ore
extracted.
