The downward extension of the
Occidental vein on the 110O-foot
level of the Desert Queen workings
was this week encountered in the
western section of the Belmont mine,
showing good ore, the width of
which has not yet been determined.
This vein has now been opened up on
the 600, 700, 500, 900 and 11O0-foot
levels of this section of the mine and
although somewhat narrow, varying
in width from only 2h to 3k feet,
shows a general average of good ore,
and as it has been drifted on for a
considerable distance in the upper
levels a large tonnage of ore will be
available for the mill, a height of
500 feet on the veing having now
been proved. Drifting east is in pro-
gress on the vein on the 900-fOOt
level on good ore and a raise from
this level is being extended upward
on 3 feet of good ore.
