clean UP $4,000 in the month, as
the gravel is known to be very rich
in coarse gold.
Tie report from the mill for the
week ending June 13 shows that 95
stamps out of the 100 have been con-
stantly dropping and crushed 1855
tons of ere of an average value OF
$3.50 81 ton for the average extrac-
ton Of 90 per cent of the values.
Shipments from the mill consisted OF
As bars of bullion valued at $52,700
aud 32 tons of concentrates valued
at st1,S00, making a total of 1884,

Montana-TOnOpah
The Mcntana-Tonopah mine shows
great Improvement this week with
considerable encouragement for the
opening up of new ore bodies on the
700, 765 and below the 765-foot lev
ell of the mine.
On the 70O-fot level the south
crosscut from the main drift on the
Macdonald vein encountered this
week a streak of ore seven inches
wide, assaying 800 per ton, and
drifting has been started on this in
the expectation hat it will widen on
it's course, as it is believed to be a
foot wall branch of the Macdonald
vein.
On the 765-foot level drifting east
was started on a body of low grade
quartz encountered nea the Midway
line, and this drift passed for 20
feet through three to four feet of
ore averaging SIG a ton, but the
face of the drift is now in low grade
mill ore, but drifting is still in prog
ress, and a west drift will also be
started in the expectation that other
ore shoots will be encountered.
This vein will probably prove to
be the Macdonald vein, as it has not
previously been opened up, near the
Midway line, having faulted on its
course into this portion of the terri
tory.
Another encouraging development
occurred on the Macdonald vein in
the west drift from the Wine. which
is being driven preparatory to open
ing up slopes on the downward con-
tinuation of the vein below the
slopes started on the 700-foot level.
This drift now shows a width of eight
feet of fair grade mill Ore, and bet
ter values are occasionally encOun'
tered.
North Star
A considerable amount of develop.
ment work is now in progress in the
North Star mine. twelve machine
drills being operated on development
work alone, and the extensive
amount of waste rock to be hOisted
from the various crosscuts prevented
the shipment of nor than 100 tons
of ore to the mill in the pas
week.
Drifting east on the footwall weir
is still in progress on the 113O-foot
level on a width of three feet OF
good ore. The west drift on this
vein has now encountered the North
Star fault, and raising has beeeI
started to connect with the leve
above, this drift having shown
width of three feet of good ore uI
to the fault.
Crosscutting to the Mizpah fault
vein on this level is still in prog
ress.
On the 105O-foot level work has
been resumed in the main east drift
which is being extended through the
Mizpah fault. which is expected te
be cut in a distance of about rs feet
The Midway
Crosscutting of the big vein re
Gently encountered on the 120O-foo'
level of the Tonopah Midway mine
is still in progress, the hanging wal
not having yet been reached. and the
face of the crosscut showing low
grade quartz. 1t now appears thai
the vein has a northeast-southwesr
course, dipping to the southeast, ant
for this reason it is not believed tC
be the Merger vein, which is proba
bly, still further to the north.
Where the vein was first encoun'
tered in the crosscut, some very goot
stringers of ore, carrying very higf
values. were passed through, the as
says showing that this ore carried
about equal proportions of gold ant
silver, but the stringers were appar
emily crossing the vein instead o
running with it.
West End CONSOLIDATED -
Raising on the lower contact weir
on the 1OOO-foot level of the West
End mine has now been commenced
as it is evident that the vein has fiat
tened out, and it is believed that II
will be encountered more quickly by
raising to it than by continuing the
crosscut. 1t is expected that the
raise will enter the vein in the course
