orebody has widened as depth is at
tanned.
On the 750-foot level, ear cap
rock, the vein is from 5 to 6 feet
wide of low-grade mill ore, but wild
ened to nearly IA feet on the $50
foot level, the values showing great
improvement with some streaks and
punches of very rich ore.
West End
The Wine from the 600-foot level
of the West End mine is still being
sunk in a body of very good grade
ore, which is exposed for a width of
6 feet in the bottom of the winZe,
and it's full width not determined.
Sinking will be continued on the
hanging-wall side of the vein TO the
7OO-foot level. and as the vein dips
at a very fiat angle, a very large ton
mage of ore will be exposed between
the two levels.
On this level drifting east and
west on the hanging wall of the
vein is in progress in mill ore, this
work being carried or between the
main east and west workings of the
mine.
In the extreme western workings
raising on the vein is still in prog
ress on a body of very good mill
ore, but drifting on the vein westerly
has been temporarily discontinued.
IN xho Enn foot lnxrn1 q nnur south
cross-cut has been started from the
footwall of the ven to the hanging
wall, and this cross-cut is now out so
feet in low-grade quartz, and has not
yet reached the hanging-wall where
it is expected that the upward extern
sion of the orebody on the 600-foot
level will be encountered.
TonOpah Mining Co.
The January report of the Tonopah
Mining company shows an increase
of S65 tons milled, but a decrease
in profits of $13,702 as compared
with December operations, the ore
having averaged $2.55 a ton less
in value.
d. l. ~ p
ident; and Colonel G.. A. Higbee, sec
rotary of the Tonopah Mining COM
pany, arrived in Tonopah Monday
on their usual trip of inspection to
the property, and left on Thursday
for Wonder, most favorably i'm
pressed with the present excellent
condition of the company's proper
ties here.
In conversation with a representa-
tive of the Tonopah Miner, Colonel
Higbeen stated:
The company's property in Tono-
pah is in a most excellent condition,
and there is every indication that a
very large tonnage of ore will be
drawn from both the Last Chance
and West End veins, while we are
very hopeful of satisfactory develop
ments in the Sand Grass claim"
Merger
The new ore-shoot in the extreme
western workings on the 117O-foot
level of the Tonopah Merger mine
continues to show a large body of
very good grade of shipping ore.
This ore-shoot has now been
drifted on for over 70 feet from the
point where it vas first encountered
the drift being carried 6 feet wide,
and occasionally showing streaks OF
very rich ore in the face, and the
orebody promises to be of great eX-
EN- and to produce a very large ton
mage, but as in the case of the pre-
vious ore-shoot, about 400 feet west
of the shaft, the better grade ore
appears to be in the bottom of the
drift, indicating that at greater
depth even better grade ore will be
uncovered.
The north cross-cut on this level is
still being extended, but no import
ant change has occurred.
During the past week the shaft
was fitted with new guides and new
timbers we're set in one or two places
in the upper workings above the
SOO-foot level, and it is now in eX-
cellent condition.
Rescue-Eula
C~ross-cutting northe on the 500
foot level of the Rescue-Eula prop
erty is still in progress in most
promising trachyte formation, in
which stringers of quartz carrying
very good values are occasionally en-
c%ountered.
The trachyte belt as developed in
the west drift from the Rescue shaft
to the west end line of the Rescue
claim is estimated to be about 1000
feet long east and west, and over
500 feet wide, extending on the
south to the Maggie May claim, and
is believed to be about 700 feet
thick, it being estimated hat there
is a height of about 800 feet OF
trachyte above the present workings,
and about 400 feet below.
1t is the intention of the manage
ment to thoroughly prospect this
