the Fraction shaft in the Jim Butler
mine, and shows a great width of
low-grade quartz, and drifting east
on it has been started on from 4 to
5 feet of fair grade ore. The vein is
broken up at this point, but it is be-
lieved that by drifting OF it a good
shoot of ore will be encountered at
a point below where leasers in the
early days secured a good tonnage of
shipping ore. This vein is different
to that mined on the fifth level of
the Wandering Boy shaft, being
and has never been p%rospected be-
low the 3O0-foot level, except by a
winze which was sunk for about 200
feet on a shoot of low-grade ore.
There are, therefore, probabilities
that with further development from
this winze and at greater depth some
good o%rebodies will be uncovered.
On the 420-foot level the new
southwest crosscut started last week
has cut a stringer carrying very
promising values, and drifting on
this will be started shortly.
Mt. Oddie United
Work has been resumed on the
Mount eddie United property, ad-
joining the Buckeye-Belmont and
Halifax properties on the east.
The shaft on the northeast corner
of the Verna claim, which was sunk
last year to a depth of 40 feet, is
now being equipped with the gaso-
line hoist originally used to sink a
shaft, 200 feet deep, on the more
easterly portion of the property, and
sinking of the Verna shaft will be
resumed, the intention being to
carry this shaft down several hun
dred feet.
The property is well located, and
developments in the Halifax prop
erty have added greatly to it's posi-
bilities in the past year, as it is be-
lieved that it covers the extension of
the Halifax vein system, and the
Verna claim adjoins both the Halifax
and Buckeye-Belmont properties on
the east.

West End
Sinking of the winZe from the 600
foot level of the eastern workings of
the West Enc mine a resumed
this week, the bottom of the Wine
showing a 1uIl face of mill ore, the
vein dipping at a very fiat angle to
the south.
From the 6O0-foot level raising on
the vein is still in progress from the
two drifts west of the Wine, where
seven raises are being put up in the
ore, and continue to show a good
width of very good grade milling
ore.
In the extreme western workings
work was resumed in the west drift,
where the vein had encountered a
fault, through which the west drift
has been continued, and prosecuting
north is now in progress to pick up
the extension of the vein. Back
from the face of this drift raising on
the vein is still in progress on a
large body of fair grade mill ore.
-TOnOpah
The extreme length of the new
section of the A. B. X. vein in the
Montana mine has now been proved
on both the sos and 615 foot levels
between a fault on both the east and
west ends of this segment of the ore
body.
On the 565-foot level it was about
175 feet long, a varied in width
from 4 to 5 feet, all of very excel
lent grade ore, and on the G1O-foot
level it was about 140 feet long or
and average width of 4 feet, with a
footwall branch of about the same
length, averaging about 2 feet in
width, all of excellent grade.-To-
nopah Miner.
