TONOPAH MINING GO. DECLARES DIVIDEND:
REVIEW OF WORK IN MINES OF SILVER CAMP

company, where work has not yet
beea started on the new vein that
was cut in the hanging-wall of the
West End vein on the 500-foot level.
Belmont
The new vein recently cut on the
900-foot level of the Desert Queen
workings of the Belmont mine con-
tinues to show full faces of very good
grade ore, although not so rich as
when first encountered, where the
streak in the vein carried such very
high values hal 1t was broken down
on canvas. This ore was exceedingly
rich in ruby, silver, stephanite and
native silver, the streak being from
10 inches to 2 feet wide, and con-
tinued for a length of fully 35 feet
and is still showing in the top of the
drift.
The vein has now been proved for
a length of $50 feet on its eastern
and western course, and the east
drift still shows two streaks of rich
ore in a full face of mill ore, and
the west drift shows a full face of
very good grade ore and this work
has already developed a very valu-
able ore shoot, and the vein is con-
tinuing on both it's eastern and west
ern course, and will undoubtedly
yield a large tonnage of very excel
lent ore.
Another improvement in the mine
this week was made above the 1000
foot level, where a raise was started
from what is known as east stope 1
on the Lille Bell vein, which at the
top of the stOpe showed a width of
l foot of mill ore. but in a few feet
above the stope this widened to 4
feet of splendid grade ore. and the
vein is looking stronger in the upper
workings above this stope than it
has at any time in the stope or on
this level.
Jim Butler
The downward extension of the
South vein in the Desert Queen
was again encountered this week
above the 700-foot level and shows
a width of over 6 feet of very good
grade ore. This is SO feet east of
another raise which is being put up
on the vein on Z feet of good ore
and this work is proving that the
excellent values are continuing down
from the 600-foot level where the
vein is from s to ~ feet wide and
raises from the top of the slopes
have already proved it to extend 100
feet above the level.
The vein is also being opened UP
on the SOO-foot level where raising
is in progress on over 4 feet of very
good ore.
The new orebody in the eastern
extension of the MacNamara vein, on
the 18th level of the Wandering Boy
workings shows ONE streaks of ex-
ceedingly rich ore this week, some
of these assaying from $500 to $4OO
a ton and carrying high gold values
with every indication that an exceed
ingly valuable ore shoot will be de-
veloped.
A new vein, over 6 feet wide, was
encountered this week on this level
in the footwall of the MacNamara
vein, but where encountered was low
grade but drifting on this will be
commenced later.
Montana
Underground conditions of the
! Montana-TonOpah mine are practi-
cally the same as last week.. From
below the bottom level of the mine
drifting east is still in progress on
the downward extension of the Mac
donald vein in low grade ORE, and
stopping on this vein above the 69S-
foot level is producing a fair tonnage
of good milling ore, and stopping on
the footwall branch of this vein,
which was started last week, is
showing a width of 2k feet of good
ore, and another stope on a branch
of the Macdonald vein above this
level is showing a narrow body OF
good ore.
On the 565-foot level a new south
crosscut has been started from the
| central portion of the Martha vein to
prospect a block of trachyte fOrma-
ton in which it is thought that a
branch of the Martha vein will be
encountered.
On the 665-foot level another
south crosscut has beer started to
pick up a branch of the Macdonald
vein, and also a branch of the Mar
thu vein, both of these crosscuts be-
ing at present in t~rachyte formation.
TOnOpah Merger
Work was resumed in the Tono-
pah Merger property on Thursday
morning in the east Wine from the
1170-foot level.
This Wine was sunk to a depth
of 81 feet before the incoming water
compelled the suspension of opera
