IMPORTANT EVENTS OF WEEK
IN SILVER CAMP PROPERTIES

has not yet been sold, and the sill
yer has been carried to suspense
account at the estimated price of so
cents an ounce.
The operations for July show the
largest profits in the history of the
company and exceed the previous
high record of June by $22,593, and
strikingly illustrate the splendidly
improved condition of the mine.
Belmont
The report of the Tonopah Bel
mont Development company for the
month of July shows an increase of
IL tons milled and a decrease of
S1S,543 in net profits earned as COM
pared with the month of June. These
figures, however, are not final, as the
greater portion of the silver pro-
duced in July has not yet been sold.
Drifting on the faulted segment
of the Belmont vein, which was pick
ed up last week on the 100 level of
the main Belmont shaft workings,
has been commenced. and this work
is opening up a full face of very
good ore, the extreme width of
which between walls is not exposed
in the drift, and there is every indi-
cation that this work will open up a
large tonnage of very good ore.
North Star
A shoot of very good grade ore
was opened up this week in the
North Star mine in the footwall vein
in a new raise put up in the main
drift on this vein on the 1850 level,
and the ore for a width of about 3h
fet is of excellent grade, and all ore
extracted in continuing this raise to
the level above is being stored in the
big ore shoot or this level.
Drifting tast on this vein is also
in progress in milling ore on the
1O5O-foot level.
An intermediate crosscut is being
run between the 1850 and 113O lev
els in order to pick up the down.
ward extension o fthis vein.
Ally the ore bins at the mine are
now filled with good grade ore ready

tons at the MacNamara mill.
In the month of July the COM
pany shipped a total of 90 IONS of
ore to the MacNamara mill.
TOnOpah Mining
The raise on the 440 level of the
Silver Top mine of the Tonopah Min
ing company's properties, which was
started last week on one root of low
grade ore, has this week encounter
ed a width of from five TO six feet
of good grade ore in the Valley View
hanging wall vein. 1t is expected
that this work will result in opening
up a block of ground between two
old raises which will prove to be
about 100 feet long and about 20
feet high, and will. therefore, yield
a good tonnage of good ore.
On this level the west drift on the
new vein recently cut in crosscut
AGA nov shows a width of three feet
of mill ore as compared with a width
of two feet of similar grade last
week, but drifting east on this has
been discontinued for the reason
that this section of the mine, east of
this drift, has already been pros
pected.
Halifax-TOnOpah
The cutting of a station on the
500 level of the Tonopah Halifax
shaft has been commenced, and from
this point the upward extension of
the ore body developed on the 1000
level will be explored. Stopping of
ore for the mill is still in progress
above the 1000 level. Development
work is still in progress on the 400
and 100 levels. but no change has
occurred in the past week.-Tono-
