/ provement in the value of the ore,
so much SO that the entire face,
which is six feet wide, is full Of
high-grade milling ore, with no
footwall in sight. Since encounter
ing this vein east of the fault the
general average of the ore has been
good milling grade. but for the
past few days the values have
shown a perceptible increase. Some
fabulously rich ore is also being en-
countered in streaks and punches in
the Slopes, and some of the richest
specimens ever found in the camp
are continually being taken out.
There is only one way of express
ing the condition of the Belmont
mine, and that is that it is growing
bigger and better with development.
Montana
The past week was a very good
one for the Montana, both in the
mine and MILL the report from the
former showing that total of 243
feet of new ground was broken in
the various workings, the best prog
ress made for some time, while the
report from the mill shows that
1928 tons of ore were crushed and
treated. from which an average ex-
traction of ola per cent was OBJ
tanned. The regular semi-monthly
cleanup of cyanide precipitates,
covering the first half of Decem-
Der, was started yesterday and will
fbe completed Monday. when it is
expected the regular amount of bull
lion will be shipped. Everything in
mine and mill is running smoothly
and both departments are making
a very good showing, adding nice
: sum monthly to the treasury. which
is in such flourishing condition as
: to enable the declaration of divi-
= dend of cents a share, payable De-
celnber 20. The work of making
: out the dividend checks is now In
progress. and they will be mailed
from the company's Office on the
: day the dividend is payable.
! MacNamara
III An important piece of develop
ment work was commenced this
: week in the MacNamara mine will
the cutting of station at the 700
:. foot point of the shaft, preparation,
< to starting drift which is planned
to cut the lower vein exposed b.
: the workings on the 800-foot leve
4 at point southeast of the Mac
Namara-Extension fault. This drift
will crosscut through the fault ant
~ raise sent up to the vein in tn,
= western territory. This importan
;. piece of work will call for consid
: cradle drifting, the outlay beinl
warranted by the encouraging show
ing made in the raise in the veil

= the drift on the same level. Fo
= the past 20 or 80 feet this raise Il
the vein has exposed a persisten
shoot of milling ore, the ore bod
! showing increased strength as tn
raise is advanced.
Mt Midway
40 Although but little has been sal
nf late copcarninu +ba onocot;on, /;
re the Midway, work has been goin
as on steadily on the several levels q
I'd the mine and shipments of or
as have been going out weekly to tn
or smelter, the value of which is cor
at siderably above the average grad
w of milling ore. In the southerl
e. portion of the property the opers
a tons are confined at present I
IT, stopping on the No. 4 south vel
re and on the Brougher vein, both {
a. which are yielding an excelleI
al grade of ore, though the tonnage
lie limited. The development has II
oh some time been confined to openin
en- Iup the large acreage owned by ii
in company to the north of the form,
re workings, where the formation Ell
tie. countered gives every promise
vi containing good ore bodies. TIL
oh new work is being done on the 43
* and 535-foot levels, and althous
its some good stringers and at tim
in. fair sized blocks of very good o.
Ter have been found, thus far the veil
ne have been found to be considerab
ax- fanlted, thereby limiting the leng
ed of the ore bodies.
