Belmont
A new body of rich ore was open
ed up this week in the Belmont mine
on the 9OO-foot level of the Desert
Queen workings and has now been
penetrated for about six feet and
the hanging wall has not yet been
encountered.
The vein was cut in the north
crosscut recently started ,on this
level in trachyte formation and dips
at a rather fiat angle to the north
and has not yet been correlated with
any other known vein in the eastern
workings. 1t is thought to be too
far south to be the Favorite vein,
but may prove to be the Shaft vein,
and If so, the Favorite vein has yet
to be cut, but in any case it can be
drifted on for a great distance to
the eastern workings and should
therefore yield a very large tonnage
of ore.
This is the most important devel-
opment made in the western work
ings of the mine for many years,
and is also the most important i'm
provement in the whole property in
many months.
Jim Butler
The Jim Butler company is this
week opening up a new body of ore
which promises to be of extreme I'M
portance, as it carries very good
values, and it's full extent has not
vet been determined.
This ore was opened up in the
eastern extension of the West End
MacNamara vein at a point about
1rn $50 ooo% of tho forrifnrU In dis
pute with the West End Consolidated
and was encountered in a
northeast crosscut from the wfnze
sunk in the footwall of the vein
from the seventh level of the Wan
dering Boy workings.
The vein at this point is of great
extent, and the new ore body was
encountered near the hanging wall,
but that wall has not yet been reach
ed. a1d ii is. therefore, impossible
to say how wide the ore shoot will
prove to be, but it has at present
been penetrated for about three and
one-half feet.
Prospecting of this vein in the
undisputed territory has up to now
only revealed low-grade quartz with
occasional %stringers of good ore. 1t
is notable that the commercial ore
in this vein occurs in ore shoots. and
it is hoped. therefore, that the pres
ent workings will demonstrate a
body of good ore.
