From the Tonopah Miner.)
Az has been the case for some time,
the most interesting news from the
Tonopah-B Belmont mine comes from the
deeper workings, where the most OF
the operations are being carried on, and
which have resulted in the finding of
eveellent bodies of ore far deeper than
in any other mine in this section OF
the country. The important event OF
the past week in these deep work
ires is the ~encountering of a body OF
are by the east drift from the 1886
winze on the 1100-foot level, at a point
about $40 feet east of the Wine. The
vein inst encountered is without doubt
A continuation of the Belmont vein, m
shows from 5 to Z feet of good milling
ore. 1t was picked up east OF the
northeast southwest fault, which has
cut off the Mizpah and Belmont veins
on the 900 and 1000-foot levels, and
this is the first time that pay ore has
been found east of this fault, which is
a post fault to the Mizpah fault, this
fact having been proven by the devel-
/ opment work done OIL the l0O0'fooi
level. The finding of this strong ore
\ body east of this fault is considered
most important for the future OF the
4 mine, as it marks an important step
n towards solving the extent of the ore
\ Eodies towards the Belmont shaft which
is over 1000 feet east of the Desert
Queen shaft, through which operations
are now being carried on. The body
Of ore reported last week as being en-
keOuntered in the bottom of 1886 WINE,
which is SO feet vertically below the
llOO-foot level, is being developed By
EAST and west drifts, and thus far has
been opened up a total distance of SO
feet, showing a good ore body the en-
tire length the full width of the drift,
with the same grade of ore continuing
pn the footwall side. The drift is fol-
xlOwing at present what may prove to
the hanging-wall, but owing to the
continued occurrences of strong string
frs of quartz coming in from that side
pf the drift it may eventually turn out
70 be a false hanging-wall, and the
Rein prove to be much wider than it
! thought to be at present.
Montana onopah Affairs
The annual meeting of the stockhold-
4fs of the Montana-Tonopah Mining
company was held last Tuesday at the
2fiees of the company in Tonopah, ami
PIE report submitted was fully up TO
Pc forecast published by The Miner
psf week, showing the company to be
possessed of an excellent mine and mil
zee from all debt and a substantial
Reasury besides. Another important
pint touched upon in this report,
&hlch is now in the hands OF the
Finter and will be mailed to stock
Elders of record at an early date, Is
Pc milling question, which makes PLAIN
e object in recommending the segre-
FtIon of mine and mill, and forming
independent company to operate and
N the latter. At the meeting just
ID the stockholders passed a reso
lon empowering the board of direc-
rs to proceed with the plan OF trans
ing the mill and mill site to an in
pendent company, owing to the FACT
~ they had been approached by an
ner company operating in Tonopai
IN a request that they be allowed tt
~ stamps to the 40 now operating
Montana ore, the said additional Y
rups to be used on the production o.
other company's mine. In order t.
Try this plan out, it would be neces
TO form a separate company Il
~ over the milling end, as unde
FSeht conditions they could not hav'
partner in the mill without having
same partner in the mine, on &C
OF the ore losing it's identity a
= as 1t reaches the battery bins. Tn
"ion of the 20 stamps and neces
equipment for treating the add
"ai ore will not call for the expen
&c OF a single dollar from the fund
ne Montana Tonopah Mining cor
and as it is proposed to opel
''e sixty stamps as a unit, it woul
IN the reducing of the milliu
:" all ores put through at leas
'on' and probably more, and a
lug that the Montana will mill tn
number Of toni during the pre-
year that it did last year, it wi
@'a'y increase the profits of tn
TO that extent.
