a share in the past few weeks. The
only wonder is that the present
showing and future probabilities
have not been more generally recog-
nized.
While the property has been in
excellent condition for many weeks
and months there is an unusually
good showing at this time, For in
stance, at the ITO level, the lowest
opened up, they are now breaking
and sending to the mill a good grade
of ore from a body that is fully 35
feet in width. 1t is not that the vein
Is merely 35 feet wide, with occas-
ional bodies of pay ore in it, but the
entire body is ore that averages bet
ter than the ordinary grade of mill
ore. The slopes on this level have
always been unusually wide but
during the week the main vein and
foctwall branch have come togeth-
er with the result that the pay ore,
as stated, is now So feet in width.
While the above = mentioned r
body is unusually good, even for the
Tonopah Elk, it is by no means the
only one that is better than the or
Cinary. Ore that varies in value
from the ordinary milling grade to
that OF high grade is found in this
same vein on five other levels, and 1t
is expected to open it up or two
more, the 1850 and the 1850, within
the coming month. On the upper
levels the ore in this vein varies
from ten to fourteen feet in width.
Monarch Pittsburgh
The main south crosscut, which
for weeks was being driven through
the Zig vein of the Monarch Pitts
bUrgh, has at least reached the foot
wall. The crosscut is in the vein
something like $50 feet, and this is
such an unusual width hat many
were beginning to believe that in
stead of prosecuting the vein it was
being drifted N However, the man.
agement had sufficient evidence that
the vein was being crosscut and con-
tinued on their curse until the
footwall, which is west end rhyo-
lite. was encountered.
Contrary to hopes and beliefs
last week at a point about 20 feet
west of the first raise, and which is
vanoed 25 feet. Some very good
looking quartz has been encountered
during the week but the values at
this time are only nominal.
The west drift has been discon-
tinued temporarily.
TOnOpah Merger
The report from the Tonopah
Merger for the week shows a con-
tinuance of the highly satisfactorily
CO conditions which have prevailed at
that time during the past two or
three months. The average weekly
production is 200 tons and the ore
is coming from four different levels.
The ore is above the average and at
times it can be classed as high
grade.
The ore that is coming from the
Slope on the $50 level is of a very
good grade and is from four to five
feet in width.
The ore that is now coming from
the Slope above the 1870 level is Of
milling grade and the ore body Is
from three to four feet wide.
On the 117O level the grade Of
ore is about the same as on the lev
ell above but the ore body is a lit
tie wider.
The stope of the 1880 level which
is 800 feet west of the shaft is pro-
ducine a better grade of ore than
on the two levels Immediately above.
A raise is being put up on the ore
about $50 feet west of this stope
and it is following about three feet
of ore of good grade.
Belmont
"he report of the Tonopah Bel
mont Development company for the
month of March shows net profits
of $9e,52O, which shows a decrease
of 1898 as compared with the
profits of the preceding month.
Owing to the breaking of n Of
the bis drums on the hoist, opera
tions at both mine and mill We're
suspended for several days during
the month, which materially inter-
fered with production and profits.
At the mine this week the inn
provement which has been noted for
some time in the east drift on the
branch B Of the Mizpah fault vein,
at the 900 level. has continued and
it is now looking better than ever,
there being Az feet of much better
than the ordinary grade of ore in
sight.
On the 1000 level two new drifts
were started during the week. n
to the east and the other to the
west, on what is probably the favor
lite vein, though this has not been
