TOnOpah Ex.
The richest shoot of ore that has
vet been encountered in the workings
from the new main shaft OF the To-
nopah Extension Mining company
was encountered this week In the
main west drift on the 950-foot level
of the Murray vein.
This drift is now out 23O rect
west of the incline shaft and has
proved a shoot of high grade mill
ing ore from fourteen to sixteen feet
wide for this distance, but on Wed
nesday very much higher grade ore
was encountered, the face OF the drift
being all in splendid ore with
width of two feet of exceptionally
rich solid black sulphides in the CEN
ter. making it the richest ore shoot
that has been encountered in this
vein and proving that better values
are being encountered as drifting
west on the vein progresses.
From this level raising to the $50
foot level is in progress on a width
of fourteen feet of good ore, proving
the upward extension of the ore
shoot.
On the 1O2O-foot level drifting
west on the vein is being continued
in very good ore, this drift being car
ried across a width of ten feet, but
the width of the vein is over fourteen
feet as shown where cutting out for
stopes is in progress, the entire vein
being of very good milling grade.
Drifting west is also in progress
on the 100 level on full face or
good ore. The east drift from the
south crosscut, east of the shaft, was
run for twenty feet in low grade ore
and then discontinued, and from IL
raise has been started to connect
with the east winze sunk from the
95O-foot level, and west drift has
been started from the south crosscut
on fairly good ore which will be con-
tinued to the shaft.
Work has now been resumed in
the station on the 100 level ana
crosscutting to the vein, east and
west of the shaft, will be commenced
in a few days.
