II TO De b feet WIDE or mill ore and
drifting west on this has now been
started. This vein is situate about
so feet south of the West End vein
and from the 900 up to the 4OO-foot
level produced a very large tonnage
of excellent grade mill ore.
Belmont
The above report of the Tonopah
Belmont Development company for
the month of December shows a de-
crease of 222 tons in tne amount of
ore milled, but an increase of $1O,-
479 net profits as compared with the
month of November. and leaves a
surplus of $36,3S7 over the dividend
requirements of rs per cent quarter
ly.
The vein on the 1OOO-foot level of
the Desert Queen workings of the
Belmont mine shows great improve
ment this week, having widened
from 2k feet last week to a full
face of very excellent grade ore, and
this vein promises to produce a
very large tonnage of excellent ore.
On the 70O-foot level of these
workings stopping is in progress on
a full face of mill ore in the South
vein, and prosecuting northeast is
in progress on the SOO-foot level.
In the workings from the main
Belmont shaft in the esatern end of
the property, drifting east on the
Belmont vein on the 9O0-foot level
is still in progress in an easterly di-
rection on a full face of mill ore.
On the 1166-foot level drifting
east on a hanging-wall branch of the
Belmont vein has been started on a
body of very fine ore, the downward
extension of a splendid ore-shoot de-
veloped on the level above.
TonOpah Elk
The west ore-shoot on the 95O-foot
level of the Murray vein in the To-
nopah Extension mine has widened
this week to nearly 9 feet of excel
lent grade ore.
This drift which is being run on
the footwall side of the vein is now
out LOG feet from the station, and
on the north side showed what ap-
peared to be a we'll defined wall,
but prosecuting into this exposed a
width of 3 feet of splendid grade
ore, the supposed wall being but a
slip only a few inches thick, and the
face of the drift now shows nearly
8 feet of very excellent grade ore
on which drifting west is still in
progress.
Drifting east on the footwall side
of the ore-shoot is still in progress
in good mill ore, although not of
such high-grade as in the western
drift. On the hanging-wall side of
the vein drifting east and west is
still in progress on a full face, about
5 feet wide, of very good grade mill
Another important development
in the past week was the extension
of the raise from the 95O-foot leve
to the S5O-foot level, with which it
this work having proved
the continuation of the vein on the
fOCtwall side between the two levels,
the total height of ore being about
1875 feet on the dip of the vein, thus
demonstrating the TACT that an i'm
mense tonnage of ore is available
between these levels for the mill.
TOnOpah Merger
D,r;pr tho nooL woD1r <ho TD.oNoh
Merger vein was cross-cut from the
hanging-wall to the foOtwall in the
face of the west drii. on the ITO
foot level, and proved to be 20 feet
wide.
Drifting west was resumed on the
fOotwall side of the vein, and the
face of this drift now shows streaks
and punches of very good ore with
drift. The entire face of the drift
indicates that it is entering another
shoot of very good ore.
The north crOSs-cut from this drift
is still being extended in West End
formation.
Two cars, approXimating 100 tons
of ore, were shipped to the old Bel
mont mill this week, shipments be-
ing at present restricted to only suf-
fcient to cover the current operating
expenses of the mine.
The pump and motor for the
winze on the 1170-fOOt level are now
On the way from Allentown, Pa.
Montana
The downward extension of the
A. B. X. vein has now been opened
up on the 665-foot level of the Mon
tana-Tonopah mine below the fault,
apparently cut it off between
level and the 615-foot level.
Where encountered on Wednesday
last the vein shows a width of 3
feet of excellent grade ore, and
drifting on this has now been COM
.enced. This vein has now been
proved from the 565-foOt level for
