vanced eighteen feet. During the
progress of this work nothing of
value was encountered. Drifting
east and west on the hanging-wall
streak is in progress. The streak
shows two feet of good milling ore,
while the west face shows from
twelve to eighteen inches of the
same material.
465-foot level-The raise from
the west end of the stope on the
Martha vein Is within a few feet of
making connection with the 800
foot level, the top showing the vein
to be in the ne~ighborhood of three
feet in width, carrying mill values.
515-foot leyel-The raise from
the west end of the stope on the
Triangle vein has made connection
with the west drift on the Triangle
vein on the 465-foot level. This
connection allows an opening for the
disposition of waste.
615-foot level-The east and west
drifts on the south branch of the
Martha vein were advanced fifteen
feet, the vein showing from one to
two feet of high-grade milling ore
in each place.
765-foot level-The main north
~crosscut from the shaft was extend
ed twelve feet to the ~1900-foot
point, the face being still in rhyo-
lite.
MacNamara.
The usual progress was made
during the week. There are nc i'm
portant changes to record. During
the week $50 tons of ore were con-
signed to the smelter.
200-foot level-Work here dur
ing the week was confined to the
slopes on either side of the winze
sent down from the west drift. In
the bottom of the winze is a fine
body of ore ranging from five to
seven feet of ore carrying good val
ues.
275-foot level-The stope from
the upraise from the northwest
drift has been connected with No. 3
apex raise twenty-five feet distant by
a drift at the foot of the stope. This
work has exposed three feet of good
ore.
300-foot level-In No. II Slope
there is no change to note over the
west drift which is being carried
easterly along the vein. In these
workings there is an excellent body
of ore exposed, it being four feet
wide and every pound of good mill
values. An upraise has been started
from the top of the west Slope above
the .300-foot level. This raise will
keep with the ore to prove it's ex-
tent.
Work on the 765-foot level is con
fined entirely to prospecting.~
Belmont.
Interest in the operations on this
property is conferred in the deep
workings. It is in this mine that
the deepest workings have uncovered
ore of q good grade. Mention was
made of a strike in the winze from
the 1056-foot level some time since
in these columns. The winze is now
sixty-five feet below the 11OO-foot
level on the dip of the vein. Here
there is four feet of vein matter Of
milling grade. A station will be cut
at the bottom of the winze and from
it drifts run to ascertain the extent
of the ore body.
During the week the Belmont shaft
was lowered fourteen feet.
No new work is reported on the
900-foot level, operations being con-
fined to the slopes on the South vein
where there is from three to four
feet Of milling ore.
Butter.
The news from this estate comes
from the leasers and is of the most
gratifying nature. Already ship
ments have gone forth from the Gill
lespie leaseholds, while others are
preparing to sack ore for transmits
sion to the reduction plants. The
Butler ground presents a splendid
picture these days. The scene quite
resembles the early days of the
camp when the leaser was ever
where in evidence.
1t does look as though TonopaS
is once again to become one of the
leasing camps in the state.
TOnopah Extension.
News from this property must of
necessity be confined to the new mill
which it is hoped will be in opera
ton by the first of the coming year.
At this time there is nothing being
done in the underground workings.
