! Tonopah-Belmont north crosscut

to show a large body of splendid ore.
Tonopah Mining company now
prosecuting with three shifts on the
1O0O-foot level of the Sand Grass
claim.
Montana-Tonopah A. B. X. vein
continues to show excellent values
in Slopes being opened up on two
levels. Mill now making increased
output of bullion.
North Star company arranges to
mill SO tons of ore daily at Mac
Namara mill, and starts development
of the c. E. X. and Footwall veins
on the 1O50-foot level.
Tonopah Extension Murray vein
shows width of 60 feet between
walls on the 950-foot level with two
parallel shoots of excellent grade
ore
TOnopah Merger vein becoming
more solid, and showing improve
ment in values on the 117O-foot
level.
West End company making excel
lent progress with the addition to
the mill, and esum sinking of
winze from the 600-foot level.
Jim Butler encounters Fraction
vein on the third level, and also en-
counters good ore in the new north
crosscut on the seventh level.
TonOpah Midway commences drift
ing on the vein cut in south cross
cut from the 1200-foot level, and
continuing to crosscut south.
Halifax drifting and raising on
quartz vein cut on the 1100-foot
level, and drifting on quartz on the
140O-foot level.
Monarch Pittsburg commences
sinking of Wine from 1000-foot level
on stringers carrying good values.
Belmont
The Shaft vein has now been OPEN
ed up on the 18th level of the Bel
mont mine, and where first encoun-
tered was G feet wide, although
somewhat broken up, but shows 21a
feet of very good ore, on which drift
ing is now in progress.
This vein, which has always been
branches of the Belmont vein, has
now been proved from the 10O0-foot
level down to the present depth for
a length of $50 feet of splendid
grade ore, and it is notable that on
it's downward course it has become
on the 1000~foot level. A very large
tonnage of ore has been blocked out
in this vein from the 10th to the
18th levels, and neXt to the Belmont
vein, it is the most important ore
body in the mine and it's develop
ment on the 18th level means a great
increase in the ore reserves of the
property.
The Favorite vein which has come
into prominence in the last month
still continues to show a great body
of splendid ore on the 11OO-foot
level in the west drift. In drifting
east on it, the vein is somewhat
broken up, but shows a number of
rich stringers which make the en-
tire face of good milling grade.
Another improvement in the mine
this week is in the Desert Queen
workings where a stringer of ore on
which drifting vas started last week
on the 70O-foot level has widened to
Is inches of very good mill ore, and
on the 1OO0-foot level of these work.
ings the drift recently started on
low-grade ore now shows 2R feet of
good ore in a full face of quartz.
Work is shortly to be started in
this property on both the eight and
ninth levels.
The Thanksgiving vein has now
been proved from the 18th level of
the Belmont shaft up to the 400
foot level by a raise which for a con
siderable portion of the distance was
in excellent ore, but near the 18th
level encountered rather low-grade
ore, in which it holed through to
that point, yet this vein, in drifts on
the 1000 and 1100-foot levels shows
some very excellent grade ore.
On the 14th level raise 8 on the
Belmont vein from the west drift has
now holed through to the level above
in excellent grade ore, and this now
gives good air and ventilation to
these workings and drifting east on
the vein will shortly be resumed.
The two other raises which are being
put up on this level are both being
extended in splendid grade ore, one
of these being from the east drift on
the vein, and the other from the
west drift.
Drifting on the Lille Bell vein is
still in progress on the 1OOO-foot
level in very good grade ore, which,
however, is only about Is or Is
