compared with the month of Novem-

a ton.
The property of the Tonopah Min
ing company again shows improve
ment this week, the Last Chance
vein on the 7OO-foot level having
improved in width from 2 to 8 feet
of good grade ore, which last week
was only classed as mill ore, and
the stope started last week or the
foot-wall streak of this vein on this
level also shows improvement, the
vein having widened to 4 feet of
good ore.
The ore-shoot in this vein has now
been proved to extend from the 400
foot level to a short distance above
the 7OO-foot level, although in it's
downward extension from the 500
foot level the vein split into a foot
wall and h~anging-wall streak, but as
the former is nearly 3 feet wide,
and the latter 4 feet wide, both of
very good grade ore, the total width
of the vein available for stopping is
greater than on the 500 and 900
foot level, where in the Slopes it is
from 5 to 6 feet wide. The vein has
not yet been picked up on the 500
foot level, but prospecting to locate
it below the 70O-foot level is now
in progress, and drifting to it on
the 4OO-foot level is also making
good progress, and it is probable
hat this drift will encounter the
vein in about 10 days.
