on one foot of mill ore and another
raise from the intermediate drift on
this vein shows one and a half feet
of mill ore.
On the 340-foot level the raise on
the Burrow vein has holed through
to the level above and stopping on
this ore will now be started.
Tonopah Extension
A body of very good ore was open
ed this week in the Murray vein on
the 100 level of the Tonopah Ex-
tension company's new main work
ing shaft where the west drift last
week only showed low grade ore on
the hanging wall side Of the vein.
This new ore body now shows to
be over IA feet wide of excellent
milling grade, and was exposed by
cutting out for Slopes from the hang
ing to the foot wall side of the vein
and is of great Importance because
it proves the continuity of good val
ues in the vein from above the $50
down to the ITO level and further

proving in depth, good ore being en-
countered nearer the shaft on the
lower levels than on and above the
95O-foot level.
In it's downward extension the
vein continues to maintain its width
of IA to IS feet, and on it's western
course is strong and carries excel
lent values as drifting west pro-
crosses, the main ore shoot on the
950-foot level having now been prov
ed for a length of over $50 feet and
the faces of the drifts on all four
levels of the mine still show excel
lent milling values.
An immense tonnage of ore has
now been proved from the ITO level
up to the $50 level, fully justifying
the increasing of the capacity of the
mill to over 800 tons daily, and as
the vein is strong and carries excel
lent values in the bottom of the
drift on the ITO level it will sure
ly continu to much greater depth.
The old mine from No. 1 shaft is
also well maintaining it's greatly i'm
proved condition and a remarkable
body of ore is being developed in
the Egyptian vein in the extreme
western workings.
The stope on this vein is now
about $50 feet long, showing a width
of eight to nine feet of ore carrying
very high values and drifting east
from this stope, started this week,
has now proved the extension of
this ore shoot for a further length
of 81 feet and the ore still strong in
the face.
The lower contact vein on the 500,
600, $50 and 6SO-foot levels is also
showing a width of from four to nine
feet of good mill ore, and the work
done on these levels has exposed a
very large tonnage of ore available
for the mill.
Montana
While development and prospect
ing work in the Montana-Tonopah
mine has not exposed any new ore
bodies of commercial value, the
Slopes on the Macdonald, Martha and
Triangle veins continue to furnish a
good tonnage of ore for the mill.
A very extensive campaign of de-
velopment has also been started in
the old workings of the Midway
mine which will probably result in
new developments in the Montana as
on several levels ore was drifted on
in the Midway on its east boundary
line, and the continuation of these
veins has not been picked up in the
Montana, although this will now be
done.
Connections have now been made
between the two mines in such a
manner that the ore can be handled
just as economically as If it were in
the Montana mine, and 1t is believ-
ed that as Slopes are opened up a
large tonnage will be secured.
The 515-foot level of the Mon
tana has o been connected by an
up-raise with an old intermediate
drift below the 365-foot level of the
Midway which was run on the Mac
donald vein, and all ore below the
intermediate drift will o be stopped
by continuing the 515-foot drift both
on the vein and under some old
Slopes in which some good ore has
been left for a length of over 100
feet.
Much of the ore exposed in the
Midway drifts is of low grade across
the faces, but it Is exceedingly
probable that better values will be
encountered as stopping progresses.
Jim Butler
The Jim Butler Mining company
continues to add very largely to its
available Of shipping ore
in both the Desert Queen and Wan
dering Boy workings.
In the past week the work on the
7OO-foot level of the Desert Queen
shaft has opened up a width of over
