SHOW EXCELLENT PROFITS FOR SEPTEMBER

' iCIOl SHdIt. ~ 81 iCCN was wv

The large slopes on the 1920. the
!17N and tho 1860 levels continue
20 yield the laI ge production that
has been reported for several weeks.
there being little variation either in
the size of the ore bodies or the
general grade of the ore.
The stopping operations on the
$50 level are progressing as usual.
the ore conditions in stope 91S be-
ing exceedingly satisfactory. This
stope is being advanced on a body
of ore six feet in width. carrying
very good values and the ore body
as stopping operations continue ain
tains it's width and uniformity III
values with very gratifying regular
ity.
On the 1920 level, where STOPPING
is also in progress, the large to-
1O4 shows little change in condi-
tons as reported last week, there
being still IA feet of good ore on
which mining operations are IN
without interruption.
On the 100 level, the big body OF
ore on which the company has been
stoping for sometime still retains ITS
width of 20 feet, with practically no
change in values. On this level,
raise 211 made the usual distance
during the week. having made prog
ress to the extent of over 20 rect.
This raise is being advanced in the
footwall Of the vein, and thus far
DEVELOPMENTS have disclosed no new
conditions justifying special COM
ment.
On the ITO level, raise $40 made
to the extent of 26 feel
during the week. and a very good
showing of good mill ore continues
at this point.
Stopping operations are being reg
ularly prosecuted on this level
Slope 317 is being advanced at the
customary speed, and a splendid
showing of good mill ore over 20
feet in width is being mined. Stope
SO also shows very attractive
ditions. there being eight feet oil
good mill ore in the face, The size
and average values continuing most
satisfactorily.

The report of net profits for the
Jim Butler Mining company for the
month of September shows a falling
off as compared with the record OF
August, the net profits for Septem-
Der amounting to $22,232. This
falling off is due largely to the fact
that a great deal Of new work has
been in progress under condition
which necessitated the handling OF
a large amount of ore Of a grade
somewhat below the average in val
ne.
At the property of the jim Butler
Mining company, the report of min
ing operations and developments ior
the week shows that not only Was
the usual footage maintained in TIE
breaking of new ground, but tina,
certain new developments occurred
OF such a favorable nature as to
make the record of this week an ev-
ceptional one. The developments
referred to are connected first with
the operations in progress in the
Wandering Boy workings. On the
700 level in the Wandering Boy sec
ton of the mine. drifting operations
have been in progress for some
days. and a condition has been de-
veloped that is not only very attcac'
tive at the present time but bids
fair to improve constantly as WORK
proceeds. The prosecution of the
east drift off raise sos on the .9o-
foot level of the Wandering Boy
workings has resulted in opening up
a body of very good grade ore which
now is over four feet in width, the
extent of the ore constantly increas'
ing as operations progress, and the
values continue uniform and persist
ent.
Another DEVELOPMENT Of unusual
importance occurred during the
week on the 500 level in the Desert
Queen workings. In the work that
hos been in progress recently in raise
5O7 that is being run from the back
of No. 2 west stope on the south
vein, a most interesting and import
ant ore development has occurred
Over six feet of very good ore is no v
shown in the face of these work
ings, with general conditions most
promising. Mining operations on
this ore are in constant progress and
a very gratifying tonnage of ore Is
being extracted.
West End Con.
The report of operations at the
West End mine for the week shows
that stopping still continues regular
ly on numerous faces of very good
ore in different levels in the mine,
and that the weekly record of de-
velODment work was more thar
