IliE. GOLDFIELD NEW AND WEEKLY TRIBUNE

production for June 111,S73 ounces,
equivalent to 8 tons 1878 pounds, of
the estimated value of $7S,5SO, from
the milling of $3.50 tons of ore.
Compared with the gross output
for the month of May these ngures
show an increased output of $3.50
from an additional 963 tons of ore
milled, the average recovered value
of the ore having been 1894 a ton,
or over $40 a ton gross milling value.
1t is expected that July results will
show a very considerable increase
over June operations for the reason
that the mill is now treating an AVER
age of over 200 tons of ore daily o.
about the same average grade as last
month.
Since the issue of last weeks
Miner comparatively little work has
been done on the 1920 or 110O-foot
levels of the Murray vein on account
of the holidays of the 4th and 5th
inst, since which work has been con-
centrated on the installation of the
! new double drum election hoist at
the station OF the incline shaft on
the 95O-foot level and also the in
s~tallation of the 2-ton skips and cleo
enlargement of the station to make
space for this machinery.
Jim Butler
The Jim Butler Tonopah Mining
company will very shortly commence
a most extensive campaign of de-
velopment work from both the Desert
Queen and Wandering Boy shafts, a
portion of which has already been
started this week by commencing a
series of raises on the South and Oc-
cidental veins from the 60O-foot
level of the Desert Queen shaft to
| determine to what height the veins
extend above this level. One of the
raises on the South vein is already 20
feet above the level in fair grade
shipping ore, and it is highly probable
demonstrate that a very large tom
mage of ore is available above this
level.
On the 6O0-foot level four veins
have been developed, the South vein
with it's h~anging-wall and footwall
branches and the Occidental vein.
and comparatively little stopping has
been carried on on any of these ore
bodies, and the proof of their eX
tension will add a very large amount
to the tonnage of shipping ore avail
able in these workings.
C~rosscutting has also been started
on the 700 and S00-foot levels to pick
up the downward extension of these
veins, only two veins having so far
been developed on the 7O0-foot level,
but there is every reason to believe
that all of the veins extend DOWN
ward to the S0O-foot level and prob
ably below this depth.
Montana
The output of the Montana mine
for the month of June showed con-
siderable improvement over the
previous month of May, both in
point of tonnage of ore treated and
in production of bullion and concen-
trates.
For the month of June the mill
treated 450S tons of ore with a total
output of $500 pounds of bullion,
valued at $4,000, and 81 tons of
concentrates as compared with 1856
tons of ore treated in the month of
May for 247O pounds of bullion,
valued at $4,000, and 10 tons of
concentrates, the concentrates pro-
duced in June, however, having been
of very much higher grade than
those produced in May.
The mill is now treating an average
of from 40 to $50 tons of ore a day,
and the output for June should,
therefore, be maintained in the pres
ent month.
Very little change has occurred in
the underground workings of the
mine the past week.
North Star
A body of very good ore, about 3
feet wide, is now being stopped in the
Footwall vein from the raise which
was put up along the North Star
boundary above the 1130-foot level
and this stope gives every indication
of yielding a good tonnage of good
ore.
Drifting east on this vein is still
in progress on this level, the drlft
showing a series of recurring step
faults, between which the ore is OF
good milling grade, these faults only
throwing the vein a very few feet,
and presenting no difficulties in
picking it up on it's eastern course.
A new stope is now being opened
upon the MiZpah Fault vein on the
1OOO-foot level west of the Mizpah
fault and showing a width OF from
2 to 4 feet of good mill ore.
