Belmont
A great tonnage of very excellent
grade mill ore is now being opened
up in the Shaft vein in the Belmont
mine, which has now been proved
from the 1O0O-foot level down to the
18th level, a vertical height of over
800 feet, and only partially developed
on the 18th level.
This vein has been proved for a
length Of over 700 feet on the upper
levels, and drifting on the 18th level
is still in progress, the vein on all
levels showing an average width vary
ing from 4 to 10 feet with several
shoots of very excellent grade ore.
The vein dips at the very fiat angle
of about % degrees, and therefore
show a height of about 200 feet be-
tween every 100 feet vertical height,
thus giving a total height of at least
600 feet on the vein, and making
available a very large tonnage OF ore,
which is being increased by the drifts
on the 18th level, between which and
the 18th level some splendid grade
ore is exposed in different raises.
This is the lowest depth to which the
vein has been developed, but crosscut-
ting to it on the 14th level shortly be
commenced.

and this is exposing a full face OF
YER good grade ore, Wnlle on tne
level below, the raise on the vein is
also exposing a full face of good ore,
but in the east drift on this level the
ore is at present rather narrow and
low grade. this, however, being n
of the distinctive features OF the
vein, which w'dens and narrows in
various parts of the mine, and like
all veins shows varying values.
The Belmont vein on the 14th
level shows a width of over 20 feet
of good grade mill ore in the new
slopes that are now being opened up
and the raise on the 18th level is
being extended upward on'a full face
of mill ore, this raise being now up
"a feet above the level and having
vet to be extended IS feet in order
