vein is low grade. A crosscut is
also being run across the vein in this
drift.
From the east drift on this level a
raise has been started on the streak
of ore which was opened up on the
foot wall w weeks ago. A winze
is also being sunk on the GAL level
and good progress is being made.
Work continues as usual in the
600-C territory, the normal amount
of ore having been extracted during
the week, with no particular varia-
ton in the widths or values of the
re bodies noted. A raise has been
started in the west portion of this
stope over the GO chute. The raise
is up Is feet and shows considerable
increase in values in that distance,
the width of the ore remaining the
same.
Gypsy Queen
So encouraged is the management
of the Gypsy Queen i've the present
outlook for that property that a
third shift has been put on and now
work is continuous during the en-
tire "a hours. The shaft is down
something like 125 feet in the ore
bearing trachyte, which lies direct
ly under what is generally referred
to as the lower rhyolite.
Chas. E. Knox, president of the
Montana-Tonopah, and vice presi-
dent and general manager OF the
Mizpah Extension companies, was
down in the Gypsy Queen shaft this
week and made a careful eXamina-
ton of the formation. While Mr..
Knox made no official statement for
publication, it is known that he was
greatly pleased with what he saw,
believing that it has an important
bearing on the future of the Mon
tana Tonopah. A very considerable
portion of the north end of the Mon
tana territory has never been we'll
prospected at depth, and since it is
known to have the same lower rhy-
olite as the Gypsy Queen, and ad-
joins it, it is almost a certainty that

found underneath.
Jim Butler
The report from the Jim Butler
mine this week shows a continuance
of the splendid conditions which are
assuming the character of a habit.
There was a loss of two days during
the week, including the shutdown
for Labor day, and while this OF
course lessons the output it does not
alter the favorable showing as a re-
suit of the development work.
The 500 level of the Destrt Queen
Is looking particularly good. A new
raise was started during the week
from the back of west stope No. 2,
and this raise is following from six
to seven feet of ore that is much
better than the ordinary grade. A
new drift to the west was also COM
fenced which will follow the south
branch of the South vein. Raise
sos, which was started last week to
pick up the faulted segment of the
main branch of the South vein, is
Stlll In 1ault material.
There is no development work at
present on the 600 level. but the in
termediate drift between the sixth
and seventh levels is following four
feet of ore OF fair grade.
MOntana-TOnOpah
During the week just past the
leasers on the Montana-Tonopah
shipped an unusual amount of ore
and thereby proved that the leases
are growing more profitable as de-
velopment proceeds.
The largest shipment came from
the lease of Davis and associates
and consisted of 1923 tons of ore, it
is expected to run between $25 and
$50, though returns had not been
received at the time of going to
press. There are four partners in
this lease, and they have shipped
quite regularly from the start.
Mitchell, Lynch, Stock and Nc
C.arthy also made a shipment of SO
tons during the week, but no esti-
mate of the value was given.
Priddle and Honey have a lot of
about so tons out and will probably
send it to the mill today.
Cash Boy
The usual good progress was made
on the north crosscut which is go
ing through the vein on the 1850
foot level of the Cash Boy. The
hanging wall, where the best ore is
eAl ected to be found, is not yet in
sight, which shows that the Vein is
a massive one. During the week
the vein showed considerable quartz
assuring, but no commercial ore
was encountered.
The south crosscut showed a
change of formation coming in yes
terday and the next few rounds may
prove something beyond the ordi
nary.-Tonopah Miner.
