n also prosecuting north.
North Star east drift on the Mac

Belmont
The January report of the To-
nopah Belmont Development COM
pany shows an increase of 400 tons
milled and a decrease of $21.57S
as compared with December opera
tions, due to the cleaning up of some
old slopes of low-grade ore. These
: profits, however, leave a surplus
of $25,2SS over dividend require
ments.
Drifting on the new vein %encOunt-
cred on the 18th level of the Bel
mont mine last week continues to eX-
pose a width of from 3 to 3R feet
OF very rich ore in both the east and
west drifts, and there is every indi-
cation that a splendid ore-shoot is
being developed. This vein has not
vet been correlated with any of the
other veins in the mine, although it
is possible that it may prove to be
the downward extension of the Fav-
Orite vein, but this is rather doubt
full. Cross-cutting to pick up its
downward extension on the 18th
level has now been started.
Drifting is also in progress on the
other big vein which was cut on the
18th level last week. These drifts
are at present in low grade ore.
In the Desert Queen workings Of
the mine drifting east on the 100
foot level is still being continued in
mill ore, and from the 11OO-foot
level a new cross-cut has been started
to pick up the downward extension
of the Occidental vein which was
opened up several years 6 in the
workings from the Belmont shaft
The Belmont vein above the 900
foot level is showing a fine body of
good grade ore, which is steadily in
creasing in values as the raise is car
ried upward.
On the 14th level raise 5 from the
east drift on the Belmont vein has
entered a body of splendid ore, in
which it is being extended up to the
level above, and the raise 6 has holed
through to the 18th level in very
good grade ore. The different raises
from the east drift on this level have
now proved up a very big ore shoot
of splendid grade ore between the
levels. Cross-cutting to the vein on
the 18th level will shortly be start
ed. the different drifts and cross
cuts from the station for car shortage
and mine purposes being now nearly
completed.
TonOpah En-.
Both the raise from the 95O-foot
level of the Tonopah Extension mine
and the east WINE from the same
level encountered splendid ore this
week in the Murray vein.
This raise is now up 90 rect on
the hanging-wall side OF the vein,
= and for the last 20 feet has been
9nassing through a body of exceed
