John u. Pope, general manager o
the North Butte Mining company ha
issued a report OF the work done al
the property for the quarter ending
June 30 The report is as follows:
Our Spectacular shaft was sunk III
feet during the quarter, and is now "a
feet below the 2S00 station set The
work of sinking will be finished during
the month Of July. and the stations and
skip chutes on the 26OO and $500 levels
viii then be started.
The third compartment of the Gran
tie Mountain shaft has been timbered
for depth of 400 feet completing the
shaft as fun sized thrcc-compart-
ment hosting shaft 10 that depth.
This shaft was originally sunk with
two compartments, and this charging
was necessary 70 make the older por-
tion Of the shaft large enough to per-
nit of permanent work.
The upraise under the Gem shaft on
the 1900 level has advanced 100 feet
and the cross-cuts on the 2000 and 1900
levels have reached a position directly
under the Gem shaft These upraisos
are necessary to provide air for the
northern part Of the mine aud they
will be- started on the 2OOO and 200
levels as soon as the preliminary work
is finished.
A cross cut has been run to the Nd
irondack vein on the 22OO level and
drift west will be started on this
vein during the present month. The
vein where cut showed a width of
about feet with some lunches of first
class ore. but it will be necessary To |
drift west about 400 feet before we
can expect TO encounter the ore chute |
disclosed on this vein on the 1900 and |
1900 levels
The West drift on the Edith May |
vein ON the 2OO0 level has been extend
ed So feet showing width of four
feet of ore assaying 80 per cent cop
per for length of 65 feet
The west drift on the 2iOO level has
extended 212 feet Of which us feet
was in ore six feet wide, assaying AZ
per cent. copper and 2.3 ounces silver
per ton. This is in downward continu-
alton OF the ore body, on the 220O and
230O levels between the faults and cor
responds closely both in size and grade
with the showing on the $500 level
This drift still has about IS feet to go
before it encounters the more westerly
of the faults which cut off the ore on
the 200 level.
Continued drifting on this vein on s
the 1000 and 22OO levels has shown that &
this vein is cut off by the North Croe- d
sus vein at the point where they come $
together and that it carries the same h
small and irregular bodies OF ore which T.
II has heretofore shown up 90 the la
point where il is cut Off In
ON the 1900 lcycl our west drift on s.
this vein has disclosed an ore body 80 In
feet long which averages feet wide, In
2.5 per cent. copper and Il IF
ozs silver per ton. This Que shows in n
the face Of the west drift. so that the a
ore chute may be considerably longer b
than it has been opened up 20 date. b
The cast drift of the 220O level has in
been in soft ground carrying mp 20 six ],
per cent copper and IL ounces silver p
per ton The appearance Of the vein II
has been quite favorable, ana there s.
seems 20 be good chance of finding "
a body OF ore at this point 10y extend %
ing the drift farther west q
Drifting on this vein has been vigor- q
ousIy prosecuted on all levels from tie D.
1000 10 the 22OO The 1000 and 1900 il
levels have shown vein matter with s.
small punches of high grade copper m
ore. The 1900 has shown two ore bod r
