Belmont
y The workings on the 18th level of
.the Belmont mine opened up two
new ore bodies in the past week,
both of which promise to be of great
importance when more fully devel-
oped.
The first of these was encountered
by what is known as the south cross
cut No. IL, which passed through a
vein fully Is feet wide of general
average low-grade vOlues, but show
ing streaks of good milling ore, and
drifting on this for an ore shot will
shortly be started. This may pos
sibly prove to be the downward ex-
tension of what is known as the
Middle vein, which was first opened
up on the 10th level, about three
years ago, and was proved by a
winZe to the 110O--fOOt level, but
very little work was done on it at
this depth for the reason that it was
generally low grade, but it is be-
lieved now that at this greater depth
better values will be encountered.
The second orebody was encount-
cred in north cross-cut 13, which
,ncroI an y foot Of VnrV r1cn
ore, on which drifting east and west
has been commenced. This vein may
prove to be the downward extension
of the FavOrite vein, or a footWall
branch of it, but this fact will not
be determined until further work
has been done, both on the vein and
in the continuation of the north
crOss-cut beyond 1T.
The mine continues to open up in
a splendid manner.
West End
The winze now being sunk in the
eastern workings of the West End
mine from the 600-fOOt level to the
7OO-foOt level encountered a body OF
good ore this week on the hanging
wall side of the vein. The ore is
about s feet wide and sinking on it
is being continued.
At a point about ESQ feet west
from this Wine on the 6O0-foot level
a new raise has been started on the
hanging wall side of the vein, and
this is being continued upward in
very good grade mill ore, proving the
upward extension of the east ore
shoot, which has now been demon
strated to be 200 feet long on the
6OO-foot level, and is expected to
continue upward for this length to
the 5OO-foot level, where it has been
opened up in two cross-cuts, and the
(NwOrk in this raise will block out a
