comparatively snort distance DelOre
entering the West End claim.
The stope on this vein on the 600-
foot level still continues to yield a
good tonnage of very good ore across
a width Of about 6 feet.
Monarch Pfttsburg
Very promising developments have
occurred this week in the west drift
on the 1100-foot level of the Mon
arch Pittsburg mine where encour-
aging assays were obtained last
week.
This drift is being run on the foot
wall side of a vein, which, on the
level above, is from 10 to 40 feet
wide, and last week showed 10 inches
of ore assaying $3.50 a ton. In
drifting on this the streak has
widened to about 2 feet carrying
average value of yer $40 a ton and
gives indications of increasing in
width.
A few feet back from the face of
this drift a north crosscut was start
ed and this has exposed a width of
5 feet of ore, samples from which
showed values as high as $34 a ton,
but an average sample showed val
ues of SIS a ton. The crosscut is
now being continued to the hanging
wall Oh the vein which has now been
proved to be II feet wide, the greater
portion of which is crushed vein mat
ter.
Should a body of commercial ore
be developed in the property it will
be of the utmost importance to the
camp, as it is, at present, impossible
to correlate it with any of the other
known veins in the western section.
Jim Butler
A very large tonnage of very good
grade ore is now being developed in
the Desert Queen workings of the
Jim Butler mine on the 6OO-foot
level.
The Occidental vein has now been
drifted on in an easterly and west
erly direction for practically 800 feet
and shows a width of from 3k to
6 feet of very good grade ore, on
which no stopping has yet been CON-
menced. All of this ore is, therefore,
in reserve and constitutes a very
large tonnage.
The South vein on this level has
also been drifted on for about 800
feet easterly and westerly, and only
two slopes are being operated. One
of these is about 60 feet long, and
this has only been carried up to a
point about 20 feet above the level
of the drift. Consequently a very
large tonnage Of ore is still avail
able in these workings on this vein.
The available tonnage in both
veins is still being added to by the
extension OF the drifts on both veins
which continue to expose a very
good grade of ore.
TOnOpah Elk.
The TOnopah Extension Mining
company shipped out this week &c
bars of bullion weighing 1920
ounces. of the estimated value of
$35,45O, being the cleanup of the
mill for the last half of the month
Of May. This shipment makes the
total bullion production of the COM
pany for May 1906 ounces of the
estimated value of $71,850, from the
milling of 4673 tons. showing net
company thus establishing a new
high record for production of bull
lion, ore and average milling values,
all of these being far in exces of
any previous months operations.
Moreover, these figures would have
been exceeded but for the breaking
down of the new tube mill on the
goth and goth of May, precluding its
operation for a period Of nearly six
days. The value of the bullion would
also have been greater but for the
lower price of silver which prevailed
last month.
In the past week the mill treated
1850 tons of ore, an average of near
ly $50 tom a day which will shortly
be increased to 200 tons a day, and
as the above average grade of ore
can easily be maintained, a largely
increased output of bullion is looked
for in June.
The mine throughout, in both the
old and new workings, continues to
develop in a highly satisfactory man
ner, the old workings from No. 1
shaft again showing great improve
ment this week.
Midway
The north crOsscut on the 1900
foot level of the new main working
shaft of the TOnOpah Midway mine
this week entered the footwall side
of the vein, which was passed
through at a depth of about 100
feet in the sinking of the shaft, and
the crosscut at present shows about
4 feet of very good milling ore with
selected pieces giving assays from
$40 to over 500 a ton and the cross
