which an intermediate drift above
the level has been run for a very
considerable distance.
On the 500-foot level an informed
late drift has been started from a
stope on the Valley View footwall
vein, showing from 2 to 8 feet of
mill ore, and the raise on the Valley
View vein from the 64O-foot level
now shows from 4 to 5 feet of mill
ore of very much better grade than
last week.
In the Red Plume mine drifting
east on the 400-foot level of the
Last Chance vein is still in progress
on a full face of mill ore. The east
end of the stope above this level has
now encountered the cap rock but
there is still a body of ore east of
this about 40 to so feet long, which
will now be stopped. The Last Chance
vein continues to show a width of
from 6 to s feet of very good ore
above both the 500 and 600-foot
levels.
Above the 6OO-foot level stopping
IN still in progress on the West Enc
vein across a width of 6 feet of very
good ore, and a raise has now beeu
started into the hanging-wall of the
vein to determine whether this is
the true wall, but on the 5O0-foot
level the eastern extension of the
vein beyond the Burro fault has not
yet been encountered.
The North Star
A very good grade of ore is now
being shipped from the North Star
mine, it being estimated that the
first five cars shipped this month,
amounting to about 265 tons, have
netted sufficient to pay the entire
working expenses of the property for
the month of April.
While no important new develop
ments have been made in the past
week, the ore reserves of the COM
pany are being steadily increased.
The intermediate drift between the
1850 and 95O-foot levels is still be-
ing extended on a width of 3 feet of
good ore, which has now been proved
for a length of so feet at a depth of
80 feet on the Footwall ore body,
below the 950-foot level.
On the 1O5O-foot level crossccut-
ting south is still in progress in
trachyte formation.
The intermediate drift below the
113O-foot level has now reached the
North Star fault, having been con
tinued for a length of 60 feet on a
width of from 2 to 4 feet of very
good ore. ~Crosscutting north on The
113O-foot level is still progressing in
trachyte formation.
The work done on these levels has
prompted the starting of a crosscut
on the 1200-foot level to pick up the
downward extension of the Macdon-
aid vein, which it is believed can
now be located at this depth.
In the past week three cars of ore,
amounting to $50 tons, were shipped
to the MacNamara mill.
Tonopah Elk.
The Tonopah Extension Mining
company is establishing a new rec
ord in bullion output this month,
the cleanup at the mill for the first
half of the month of April exceeding
all previous production since the
plant was put in operation.
The company this week shipped
out 81 bars of bullion weighing 81
value of $4,000, representing the
run of the mill for the first IA days
of April and the total output for the
month should therefore exceed $751;
900, an increase of about 25 per cent
over the output of SCI 900 in March,
indicating that April net profits will
be much greater than any previous
month and in vivid contrast to Feb
ruary when net profits of $SO11 were
earned.
This greatly improved condition is
due to the high average grade of ore
being mined from the Murray vein
and the fact that a larger tonnage
of ore is being treated and a higher
percentage of the values is being re
covered, the mill now saving "a per
cent of the assay values.
Montana
Some interesting developments are
now being made on the lowest leve
of the Montana-TOnOpah mine where
the Macdonald vein, which for sew
eral years was neglected and not ser
iously regarded as an asset because
of the low values exposed, is proving
to be a most important orebody.
Stopping on this vein was started
some time ago and the values stead
lily increased, the ore showing an
unusually high ratio OF gold values,
car samples from the middle stope
on n day this week giving returns
of 2 ounces of gold and 26 ounces OF
silver to the ton. These slopes haw
