and is adding considerable tonnage
to the output. During the week
the Red Plume vein was cut in a new
place by intermediate crosscut 500.
While the vein is from six to eight
feet in width only two feet along
the hanging wall goes for ore.
On the Silver Top at the 440-foot
level, a new east drift has been start
ed from raise 474 and is following
three feet of mill ore. Stopping is in
progress on this same block of ore,
owe the west drift, and also on the
MacNamara vein.
A new east drift has been started
in the footwall of the MacNamara
vein on the $40 level of the Silver
Top which, like the west footwall
drift, is being put out for mining pur-
poses. There is no diminutiOn in
the size of the ore body in the Mac
Namara vein on this level and 20
feet of ore which averages a milling
grade is being broken down in the
stope.
On the GAO level the Slope on the
s~outh-dipping vein west of the shaft
is showing about the same width and
grade of ore. The same is true OF
the stope on the Valley View vein.
Some new work was done from
the 700 level OF the Silver Top in the
shape of a raise from the top of the
stope on the small vein north of the
shaft The ore in the stope on this
vein shows a decrease in values for
the week.

A very decided improvement. took
place during the week in raise Ill,
which is following the south branch
of the south vein on the FOG level.
After passing through a fault the
week before the raise cut the vein,
which then showed three feet of ore.
1t has been widening since and there
is now in sight five feet of ore of
better than ordinary grade. Raise
712 on this same level is following
three feet of fair grade ore, while
raise 713 is now passing through a
fault.
A new raise has been started on
the 800 level of the Desert Queen to
PICK up the faulted segment of the
south vein. The north crosscut on
this level is still prospecting the
%trachyte, but the south crosscut has
beef stopped temporarily. The inter-
mediate west drift between the sixth
and seventh levels is showing five
feet of quartz. but the values are low
There are two drifts on the 800 level.
but the veins are narrow and the
values small at this particular time.
The raise on the 500 level is follow
ing a 12-inch streak of low grade ore.
On the second level of the Wan
dering Boy there has been a slight
increase in the width of the vein in
east drift $50, but the grade of the
ore is still low. The raise on the
vein shows about the same width and
values. West drift 63S, on the COO
foot level, has been stopped for the
being but the usual ogr was
made on east drift 639 and southeast
crosscut 636. The east drift off the
Winze from the 500 level is showing a
full face of quartz with low values.
while the north crosscut from this
winze has been stopped for the pres
ent. On the bottom level, the inter.
mediate east drift off the raise shows
TWO feet of low grade ore. The inter-
mediate west drift is now passing
through a fault.
Belmont
With two shifts al work an average
OF seven feet a day is being made in
northeast crOsscut S31, on the 500
level OF the Belmont, which is to
connec with raise 10 on the Rhyolite
vein. East drift $50 on the same
level, has struck a fault and crosscut-
ting south to pick up the other seq
ment of the vein has been started.
Two small streaks of medium grade
ore are showing in raise three on the
Occidental vein .
There are but three pieces of de,
velopment work now going on at
the 900 level. The east drift on the
hanging wall branch of the Fayorite
vein shows a foot of medium grade
ore, while the east drift on the Rrv.
olite vein shows Is inches of a good
grade of ore.
On the 1000 level, west drift 1OsG
on the Favorite vein is following nine
inches OF good ore, while a full face
OF vein material is showing in the
intermediate east drift, off raise SIS.
on the Mizpah fault vein.
The only development work on the
100 level during the week was a
northeast drift on the Rhyoiite Elm
off north crcsscut 6, which shows
three feet of low grade ore. Other
development on this level was tenn
porarily discontinued.
