OUT Ill one part VI the Ncih w SCN
eral raises which have been connect
ed with the 1O7O-foot level. These
raises have demonstrated that the
richest ore-shoots do not extend
above the 1O70-foot level and the
assumption is that a bigger mine will
be developed at greater depth.
Belmont
The Belmont mine is showing i'm
provement this week or nearly every
level of the property.
In the western workings two veins
are being developed from the Desert
Queen shaft. One of these, known
as the New vein, north of the
shaft, on the 700-foot level, shows
a width of over 8 feet of mill ore
and the other, known as the South
vein on the 1000-foot level has been
drifted on in excellent ore from 2
feet to over 4 feet wide and raising
on this has now been commenced.
On the SOO-foot level work is in pro-
gress to develop a west segment of
the Belmont vein, above an old stope
from the level below.
From the Belmont shaft. the Bel
mont vein has now been drifted on
for about 400 feet east of the shaft
in mill ore and a raise recently
started now shows 4 feet of good
ore and it is confidently anticipated
that a very large tonnage of good
ore will be developed above this level
in this section of the mine. A new
cross-cut has this week encountered
this vein on the 100O-foot level, east
of other workings and drifting east
is in progress in good mill ore. On
the 18th level, raising has been
started on a hanging-wall branch OF
this vein on two feet of good ore.
West End
What may properly be regarded as
the two new orebodies opened up
last week in the West End mine are
developing in q most satisfactory
manner and will undoubtedly add a
very large tonnage to the already
great reserves of profitable mill ore
in the mine.
On the 500-foot level, the two
cross-cuts, run SO feet apart, from
the footwall to the hanging-wall of
average width of 40 feet between
walls. Drifting west has been started
from the east cross-cut on a width Of
Is feet of ore averaging over $40 a
ton. These cross-Cuts are over the
eight raises in the eastern workings
on the 6OO-foot level and prove the
existence of two parallel ore-shoots
on the 50O-foot level, n on the
h~anging-wall and n on the foot
wall side of the vein.
east and west on the South vein,
which was cross-cut last week, is in
progress on a width of s feet of mill
ore in which punches of rich ore are
encountered at intervals. This vein
is known to extend up to the 500
foot level, above which it has been
stopped, and as it dips at a very fiat
angle a very large tonnage of ore
will be developed.
From this level, the sinking of the
been resumed on a width of 6 feet OF
fair grade mill ore on the hanging
wall side.
North Star
The development of the North
Star mine continues to open up an
increased tonnage of ore in the prop
erty above the 1130-foot level, and
operations have nov been commence
ed to open up the ore on the 1900
foot level.
From the west drift from the
winze on the 113O-foot level a new
raise vas put up in the vein this
week to a height of 40 feet from a
point between the bottom of the
winze and the stope, and for this en-
tire distance the raise exposed a full
face of good grade ore, and is now
being continued upward to the 1860
level. Beyond the Slope the west
drift is being extended to pick up the
faulted segment of the vein, and is
expected to MS any udy.
The east drift from the bottom OF
the Wine shows some improvement
this week. 1t has now entered solid
quartz between two well defined
walls, after having been driven for
a length of Is feet in brOken-up
quartz, the values, however, are still
only low grade.
At the 12O0-foot intermediate
level a station has now been cut, and
prosecuting to pick up the down
ward extension of the vein from the
113O-foot level has been commenced.
