TONOPAH BELMONT BUYS Mine;
silver CAMP DEVELOPMENTS

mine widened put to from 4 to 5 feet
of good ore on the 60O-foot level
this week, showing great improve
ment in both width and values, and
all indications point to this develop
ing into an important ore body from
which a large tonnage of good ore
will be mined.
The South vein on this level is
also showing a width of 6 feet of
very good ore on this level and over
5 feet of good ore on the level be-
low.
This portion of the mine is open
ing up in a most satisfactory manner
and there is every probability that
other bodies will be discovered in
the Stone Cabin claim through which
a southeast crosscut is being run on
the 7OO-foot level.
The Wandering Boy section of the
mine is yielding from 500 to 900
tons of ore each week from the
slopes on the 70O-foot level where
work is at present mainly concen-
trated on the east end of the West
End-McNamara vein and the Frac-
ton vein.
Tonopah Mining Co..
The east drift on the Last Chance
vein on the 40O-foot level of the
Tonopah Mining company's Red
Plume shaft broke into about 8 feet
of good ore this week after having
been extended for some distance in
low-grade ore.
This development is east of the
stope on the vein and proves the up
ward extension of the eastern ore
shoot in the vein and indicates that
a very large tonnage of good ore will
be opened up in this section of the
mine.
In the past year, this vein has pro-
duced a very large tonnage of ex-
cellent ore and a very large tonnage
will still be available for maintain
ing the average values of the ore
sent to the mill.
Another favorable development
this week was on the 6OO-foot level
of the Red Plume mine where the
West End vein has been found to ex-
tend beyond a fault which apparent
ly cut it off on the east end of the
stope but has now been found to be
Of the same width and excellent
grade as before.

level of tn" Iont pah Merger mine is
still in progress on a face of ore IL
feet wide with neither hanging-wall
or footwall of the vein exposed.
The ore extracted from this drift
in the past week has averaged from
$50 to $35 a ton, a streak of very
rich ore about s inches wide is being
left on the ha%nging-wall side, which
will be mined later.
This ore shoot has now been
proved for a length of about 165 feet
and is still strong in the face of the
drift and it is intended to continue
this drift to the extreme western
limits of the property and connect

Back from the face of this drift,
about 100 feet, a stope is nov being
opened up on the ore across a width
of s feet which continues to carry
the same good values on it's upward
course but it's full width is not yet
known and shipments from the mine
are being maintained from the ore
extracted from this stope and from
the west drift on the vein.
North Star.
At the North Star mine drifting
EAST is still in progress on the foot
foot levels, which continues to show
a width of fully 3 feet of good grade
ore.
Crosscutting south on the 1850
foot level to the C. f. X. vein is also
in progress.
On the ~1,130-foot level the north
crosscut from the end of the east
drift made the usual progress in
trachyte formation.

ting is still in progress to the down.
ward extension of the Macdonald
vein.
In the past week the company
shipped out three cars of ore, APP
proXimating 100 tons, to the Mac
Namara mill.
Montana.
The slopes on the Macdonald vein
which were started from the lowest
level of the Montana-TonOpah mine
continue to yield a very good ton
mage of mill ore and are now up
above the 700-fOot level and are con-
tinuing upward.
