quartz on the 100 and 1OO0-foot

A great number of veins are now
being developed in the different
workings of the Belmont mine.
From the Desert Queen shaft, the
New, South and Belmont veins are
being opened up and from the Bel
mont shaft work is in progress on
the Belmont, Shaft, Mizpah Fault,
Lille Bell, Favorite and Thanks
giving veins, as well as spurs from
the Mizpah Fault, Shaft and Bel
mont veins.
In the Desert Queen workings the
development of the new vein on the
7OO-foot level is being carried on by
Stopping, and in the past week the
ore has widened and is of better
grade han at any time since the
vein was encountered.
On the 1O00-foot level drifting
east is still in progress on the South
vein on 2 feet of excellent grade
ore, and a raise on this vein has
proved it's upward extension to a
Apint where stopping on it was dis
continued by the Tonopah Mining
at their boundary line
This work also showsa2 feet of very
god ore.
In the workings from the Bel
mont shaft, development of the Bel
mont vein on various levels contin-
ues to expose very large bodies o.
ore. On the 90O-foot level the vein
is being developed east of the old
Slopes above a fiat fault, and raising
on it at this point is exposing a.
large body of mill ore, although an
other raise is only opening up low
grade ore, but it is expected that a
very large tonnage of mill ore will
be opened up above this level in
ground hat has not hitherto been
developed.
Jim Butler
What may prove to be the most
important development ever made
in the Jim Butler mine has occurred
this week in the Wandering Boy
shaft where a new vein has been en-
countered at a depth of about 115
feet below the seventh level, and
has proved it to be from 16 to is
feet wide.
The seventh level of the shaft is
625 feet deep, and the vein was
encountered at a depth of about 740
feet, and the shaft, now 1855 feet
deep, is being continued and will be
sunk to a depth of about 25 feet
below the vein before drifting on it
is commenced. This vein is in trach-
yte formation, dipping to the south
and is thought to be an entirely new
body of ore, in no way related to
the other veins on the sixth and
seventh levels, though it is thought
that the Fraction vein has ~junctioned
with it at this depth.
Where encountered the vein was
low grade, the best assays showing
only good milling ore, but it is be-
lieved hat in drifting on it, ore
shoots will be encountered. A very
important feature about this devel-
opment is hat it proves the con-
tinuation of the trachyte formation
to this depth, and as the vein is of
great extent, there is no doubt that
it will yield a very large tonnage of
ore when fully developed, and the
Jim Butler may yet prove to be one
of the big mines of the camp.
