RESUME OF MINING OPERATIONS
IN THE DISTRICT FOR PAST WEEK

section of the Nevada Douglas estate
a very important development has
been made on the 400-foot level. Ii
is thought to be the same ore body
! that was opened above on the 2OO-foot
level. The winze on the seventh level
is in ore all the way down Further
south big body of high grade" has
been opened The full extent has not
yet been demonstrated but it looks to
be a big thing even for this property
The big spot ore" stope on Douglas
Hill is looking better than ever. The
keystone drill is hard at work drilling
on the north end Of Douglas Hill and
results are so far more than satisfac-
tory. Shipments are going forward to
the smelter with regularity and the big
property is in fine shape all around.
Smith Valley Mines Co.-Everything
is reported to be looking fine at this
property The crosscut from the 100
foot level of the shaft is reaching out
some distance and is in ore running <
per cent copper and $54 in gold. A
hoist is to be installed at once and
sinking to the 200-fo9t level pushed as
rapidly as possible sAs soon as the
present l60-foot levd gets far enough
away from the shaft this will be done
Ore chutes will be put in and stopping
started for regular production and
shipment to the smelter of the Mason
Valley Mines Co. at Thompson.

velopment of the property. The com
pany now has a shaft down to a depth
of 450 feet which is equipped with a

the mention of the company to start
lateral development and also sink a
shaft on another part OF the ground.
