good ore t encourage them - there
are also new ones starting in, so that
the average of 80 men at work is
being maintained. Under the terms
of the lease, 20 shifts per mar for
the month must be put in and if this
work is done in a miner-like fash
ion, the lessee a operate independ-
emily in the block of ground assign
ed him.
So far there has been no diff
Guilty with the lessees over the way
the work is being done and the ore
is better in grade than the general
average for the camp-the values
for the week being above $50 per
ton.
West End Con.
At the West End mine this week
preparations are being made to
mine in and extract the ore from
the territory which has been tied up
under injunction since April, 1914.
Under the stipulation which has
been made with the Jim Butler COM
pany, the West End can mine and
mill the ore which is the subject of
litigation, but the net proceeds are
to be impounded until the case is
finally settled. 1t will probably be
another week before these prepare
tions r completed to the point
which will permit of milling the ore
to commence.
Yesterday the West End company
shipped 81 bars of bullion, whicn
weighed $1,000 ounces, and are
worth in the neighborhood of $685.
900. This is the result of the clean
up of the mill for the first two weeks
in June.
Halifax-TOnOpah
Crosscutting both north and south
Is in progress from the east drift
on the 1900 level of the Halifax.
The north crosscut is out about $50
feet, and the south crosscut As feet
from the drift. Both are in the
trachyte formation.
The east drift on the 400 level
is out 665 feet from the shaft and
for the last 200 feet has been in
trachyte.
The east drift on the 1900 level
is out 353 feet from the shaft and is
in CLASSY trachyte.
North Star
At the North Star a raise which is
being put up from the southeast
crosscut on the $50 level is fellow
ing IL inches of good ore and is a
very encouraging prospect.
The north crosscut on the $50 lev
ell is still in the trachyte and shows
no change.
A small amount of stopping is be-
ing done above the intermediate lev
ell below the 1850. This intermedi-
ate level has been driven eastward
through the fault which has to this
depth been the eastern limit of the
stopping, and the faulted segment OF
the vein was encountered a few
days ago.
Mizpah Extension
Drifting continues on the vein at
the 1855 level of the Mizpah Elk. and
there is practically no change to re.
port in regard thereto-the width
and values averaging about the same
as when the vein was first o
tered in the crosscut. In the cross

the usual progress was made in the
trachyte formation.
The drift on the second vein which
was encountered in the crosscut on
the $50 level of the Rescue-Eula is
now in a b%roken-up zone, but it is
being continued in the hope that ore
will again be encountered in solid
formation. The north and south
crosscuts are going ahead as usual in
the trachyte formation.

to arrive from Dayton, Ohio, work
was resumed Thursday morning at
the Monarch Pittsburgh. The work
of driving the north crosscuts, which
are 24O feet apart, is now going
ahead.
Umatilla-TOnOpah
At the Umatilla a station is be-
ing cut on the 1900 level and a small
raise is being put up to accommodate
the diamond drill apparatus. This
work should be finished early in the
week, the drilling machine installed
and a hole started for the purpose of
locating, if possible, a payable ore
body.

At the Buckeye-Belmont the east
drift from the north crosscut is be-
