workings, 139 feet; Mizpah, 14s1a and
Red Plume 50. When it is taken into
consideration that this amount of work
was done in addition to extracting from
5000 to $500 tons of ore to keep their
1OO-ton stamp mill running, some idea
can tie formed of the way things are
being pushed in this property. TIT
stations at the 1900 and l506-foot
points of the main Mizpah shaft have
been completed and guides are being
put in from the 1200-foot station down,
and other necessary work done prepar-
atory to sending the cages down to the
1500-foot point in the shaft, after
which the work of prospecting the for
nation at that depth will be taken mp.
While this work is being pushed ahead
as fast as possible, nothing is being
overlooked ON the upper levels; in fact
the whole property, from the 140-foot
level down, is the scene of much activ-
ity, every effort being made to make
up the time lost while awaiting the ar
rival of the new compressor. While
a great deal of the new work taken up
has not progressed far enough to give
results in an reproducing way, IN
some instances the results nave been
very gratifying, as new ore bodies have
been encountered which give prom
Use Of adding materially to the known
resources of the mine.
West End Operations
A great deal of work is being done
on the 275- and 400-foot levels and
the intermediate between, and some ex-
cellent bodies of shipping ore are being
opened up, to say nothing of tn vast
tonnage of second-grade ore that is be.
ing left standing in the mine for future
extraction. An immense body of quartz
passes through this property, at times
over 100 feet wide, and throughout this
mass of mineral bearing rock appears
numerous streaks of high grade from ]
to 8 feet wide, which are at present fur
nishing the ore that is being shipped
During the past week a total of 50 feet
of development work was done on the
various levels and $50 tons of high
grade milling ore were sent to the sam
pier of the Western Ore Purchasing Co
at Millers. The mine in general is in
an excellent condition, with plenty OF
ore in sight.
Mac Namara Mining Company
While there is nothing particularly
new to report from the undergrounJ
workings of the MacNamara mine, tha
news that the general condition of the
property is fully up to the improve
ment noted during the past few weeks
is good enough for all purposes. Stea |,
shipments of ore are being made every
week, varying from 400 to $50 tons
and the amount of broken ore III iii,

carried on in the various slopes tae e
