dental vein showing 2 feet of mill
ore. The South vein in the west
drift is not so wide as it was last
week, being now only is inches. In
the west drift the vein is still 6 feet
wide, but is not carrying quite such
high values as last week, although
still of good grade.
The Slopes above the 700 and 500
foot levels of the shaft are still
showing good bodies of excellent
grade ore.
In the workings from the Wander
ing Boy shaft the east drift below
the third level on the Fraction vein
encountered very good ore this week.
which had only beer drifted on n
few feet when it encountered a fault
and drifting through the fault is be-
ing continued to pick up the vein.
On the 70O-foot level prosecuting
through the eastern end of the West
End-MacNamara vein is still in prog
ress in low-grade ore, this work
proving an immense width of low
grade ore between walls and when
| the 1Ool wall VI Tic NClh "a pCSh
reached, drifting on 1t to an ore
shoot will be commenced.
North Star
No very important change has oc-
Cured in the North Star mine in the
past week.
On the 113O-foot level drifting
west on the vein is still in progress
in low-grade ore, which occasionally
shows some fairly good values across
a width of from 6 to s feet. From
this drift a raise was put up this
week on the vein which connected
years ago from the 1O5O-foOt level,
and it is interesting to note that had
this Wine been sunk a further A
feet. it would have encountered the
vein. This raise was all in low-grade
ore.
in progress in low-grade ore, the
vein still being somewhat broken up.
The north crosscut on this level is
still being extended to cut the down
ward extension of the c. E. X. vein.
On the 1200-foot intermediate
in progress to pick up the faulted
segment of the Macdonald vein. A
south crosscut on this level is also
being extended to cut the downward
extension of the Footwall vein.
Montana
Mo ;mnnrtapt obonUoc hoyo OooIr
red in the Montana-Tonopah mine in
the last week, but drifting on the
new segment of the Triangle vein in
an easterly direction on the 465-fOot
level has proved a length of over SO
feet of excellent grade ore. At this
point the vein passed from trachyte
into West End rhyOlite formation,
and became lower grade, and a Wine
was started on it, and was sunk 10
feet in excellent ore in order to de-
termine length of prosecuting that
would be necessary to pick it up on
the 515-foot level, where this work
is in progress.
On the 565-foOt level work has
been resumed in an old raise on the
Macdonald vein where it was some
what broken up. but this quartz has
now been passed through, and some
very good grade ore is now veing
exposed in the footwall of the raise,
with every indication that a good
body of ore will be opened up.
On the 69S-foOt level the new
north crosscut passed through a small
vein about 2 feet vile of lOw-grade
ore this week, and the crosscut is
being continued to pick up a faullod
segment of the Macdonald vein west
of the Slopes on the 765-fOOt level.
The e south crOsscut. which start
ed from the same point as the north
crosscut encountered a body of low
grade quartz this week, about 1C
feet wide, and drifting east on this
has now been commenced in the eX-
pectatio nthat better values will be

Tcnopah Mining
The Last Chance vein the To-
nopah Mining company's Red Plume
ground continues to furnish a very
large tonnage OF ore Oh eXcellent
grade in the different Slopes from
above the 400 down to the 70O-foOt
level. and on the 400-foot level in
the past week the values have shown
great improvement. the top of the
stope above the level now showing
over 6 feet of good mill ore. This
vein is still being drifted on the
7O0-foot level, but does not at pres
ct show any commercial values i'm
the drift.
On the S00-foot level drifting east
and west is in progress on some
small quartz s%tringers carrying very
good values which nay possibly prove
to be the downward extension of the
Red Plume vein.
