The cleanup of the mill for the
first ten days Of the month of June
resulted in the shipment on the 14th
of 81 bars of bullion Weighing 49,
7O3 ounces of the estimated value of
$23.b0O.
On the 10O0-foot level of the mine
the raise in the footwall of the
lower contact vein is up 20 feet
above the level and is expected to en-
ter the ore body in a few more
shifts.
On the upper levels, stopping of ore
is still in progress above the 900
foot level, the ore bodies showing
no important change and the regular
tonnage of ore for the mill is being
produced.
The Rescue-Euela
At the Rescue-Eula mine drifting
east is still in progress on the vein,
which shows a width of about two
and one-half feet of low grade ore.
The south crosscut east of the fault
has been discontinued, it having
reached the north side line of the
Jim Buffers Hidden Gem claim. :.
From the main west drift from the
shaft, at a point about 800 feet east
of the vets end line of the Rescue
claim, a new crosscut has been start
ed in a southwesterly direction to
the corner of the Hidden Gem claim,
and the Maggie May claim owned by
the Rescue-Eula company. This
crosscut is for the purpose of pros
pecting the trachyte east of the face
of the east drift on the vein. and also
to pick up the eastern extension OF
the vein first encountered in the prop
erty at tn end of April, which has
probably been thrown over into the
Maggie May ground, to which the
crosscut will be extended, as it is
believed that the trachyte formation
extends south into the Maggie May
claim.
TOnOpah Elk.
The downward extension of the
Murray vein in the Tonopah Extern
sion company's property was opened
up this week in the south crosscut
from the station on the 1O2O-foot
level of the incline shaft, and is now
over twelve feet wide, and the foot
wall not yet encountered, the entire
ore body being of excellent milling
grade with streaks of very rich ore
through it and better grade ore is
expected on the footwaii.
John G. Kirchen, general manager
of the company, returned from New
York Wednesday and next day in
vited a representative of the Tono-
pah Miner to visit the underground
workings of the property.
The crosscut on the 1020-foot level
was first inspected, and this work
demonstrates the fact that the vein
is very much better at this depth
than on the level above.
At the corresponding point on the
95O-foot level the vein was badly
broken UP, and only showed a little
ore. and the ore shoot, which rakes
to the west. was not entered until
the vein had been drifted on for
nearly 80 feet to the west. but on
the 1O20-foot level the crosscut i'm
emdiately entered the ore shoot. and
the first assay taken across a rich
streak on the hanging wall gave re-
turns of 90 unces silver, which with
the gold content is equivalent to
about $73 a ton. The crosscut has
now penetrated the vein for more
than IS feet and the drill holes. on
Friday morning were still in ore.
proving the vein to be fully Is feet
wide, all of which is of excellent
milling grade with several streaks of
very rich ore through il.
This crosscut indicates that the
ore shoot on this level will be longer
than on the level above, 1t having
commenced fully 80 feet east of the
point where it was first entered on
the 95O-foot level. The crosscut is
being continued to the footwall of
the vein, and when this has been
reached drifting west will be COM
menced. The station is vertically 70
feet deeper than the 950-foot level,
and on the dip of the vein at 40 de-
grees gives a height of 40 feet on
the ore body.
