The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1915-09-25


shows that the ore milled for the
month amounted to 1890 tons.
The Jim Butler mine for the week
has maintained its excellent record
o. development and production and
while there we're no occurrences o.
unusual Importance the general con
ditions are most satisfactory.
On the 500 level the workings at
the Desert Queen shaft are continu-
ing to show very attractive condi-
tons with some new developments
of an attractive character. Raise
sos on this level has picked up the
faulted segment of the south
here looks very much as it did at
the top of the stope where it was cut
off. The work has passed through
from two and a half to three feet OF
ore of a very good grade at this
point without yet going through the
vein. Conditions generally where
this discovery was made are practi-
cally the same as they were at the
top of the stOpe, the ore being of
about the same character and grade
and the vein maintaining about the
same size.
Buckeye-BelmOnt
Operations in the Buckeye-Belmont
are progressing regularly, the usual
amount of development work having
been done for the week. IN The
north crosscut on the 900 level in
the No. 1 shaft of the property the
ore stringers which were being cut
last week continue to show very at
ira ctive conditions, the size Of some
o. the streaks having increased con-
siderably, with appearances IL strong
naturalization.
On the 1900 level the work in the
north drift is to be pushed on until a
connection is made with the Halifax
workings. This is necessary for air
purposes while the management also
has in mind the purpose of making
use of this working for mining pur-
poses, which can be prosecuted with
greater economy.
Several prominent eastern stock
holders of the company, including u
j. Bergeron and wife, and John ]
Huebner and Catherine Huebner of
Toledo, Ohio, arrived in Tonopah re-
Gently and carefully inspected the
workings of the property. They re-
port hat conditions in the mine arc
highly satisfactory.
Montana
The leasers in the Montana-Tono-
pah have been pushing their mining
operations during the week with I'M
usual vigOr and a good tonnage is
being developed in many places in
the mine. No hosting or shipments
were made during the week, but con-
siderable quantities of ore have been
accumulated to be hoisted during the
coming week.
Perhaps the most sensational de-
velopment was made in the lease of
George Badgett and associates. Mr..
Badgett is authority for the state
ment hat the developments in their
block of ground are most gratifying,
a n excellent body of high grade ship
ping ore having been opened up. This
ore carries such excellent values that
the n are planning to make n
good sized shipment at an early date
to the smelters. Mr.. Badgett was
one of the early day managers of the
Montana-TonOpah mine, and has
made good use of his expert knowl-
edge and thorough familiarity with
underground conditions in the mine
in opening up his splendid showing.
West End
The report from the West End
Consolidated Cor this week shows a
most encouraging new deve .opnter..
This occurred in the crosscut being
un Ecrth from Col winze, where an
intersection was made with the fault
ed block of the vein. This has just
been broken into for which reason
the values and extent of the ore body
are as yet unknown. In general ap-
pearance, however, the conditions at
this point are most attractive.
On the GAL level from the winze
the west drift was continued the US
uaI Instance during the week. There
is no change to report here either in
n width or values. The foot wall
crosscut from this drift encountered
five or six feet of medium grade rock
in the foot wall portion of the vein,
from which a stope raise is now be-
ing put up. From the east drift on
this level a raise is being put up on
the ore. The average has held up
well and it is of good stopping width.
The winze itself has been sunk the
usual distance during the week. The
entire face is in quartz, showing
spots of ruby silver, and while not
of very high average the outlook here
is encouraging.
