company.
The record of mining operations
for the past week at the Extension
property shows that in total lootage
the record of last week was SLIGHTLY
exceeded, the amount of work AZ
complished for this week being $40
feet as compared with 323 feet for
last week.
OF this total, "a feet of work was
done in the workings in The vicinity
of No. 1 shaft, while a total of 255
feet was completed at shaft No. =,
and 81 feet of work was finished in
the Victor workings.
The report of development opera
tions and mining work for the week
does not show any occurrences of
extraordinary Importance, although
the regular mining operations ir
connection with Stopping on the de-
veloped orebodies described in re-
cent reports proceeded without
cessation. and the development op-
erations in progress last week have
come forward steadily.
The large orebodies on the 1929
foot levels are still producing the
enormous tonnage that has been III
process of extraction for some weeks,
the values of the ore and the size
of the bodies maintaining the rec
ord of the past few weeks with re-
markable regularity.
Jim Buffers Work
The record of mining operations
at the jim Butler property for the
past week shows considerable i'm
provement in several of the work
ings. while the regular progress was
made in the development work that
has been in progress constantly for
several weeks, particularly in the
Wandering Boy section of the mine.
Probably the most marked i'm
provement reported for the week oc-
cured in the Desert Queen terri
tory on the 500-foot level. West
drift SOC, which two weeks & was
being advanced in nothing but
waste, now show a face of from
three to four feet of excellent ore.
1t was pointed out in last weeks re-
port that a very considerable in.
provement had occurred. but condi-
tons this week show a much o
attractive condition, the face of the
ore being much wider and the value
of the ore considerably higher.
On the 400-foot level of the Des-
ert Queen workings, west drift 4O2
was advanced the customary dis.
lance for the week, and work is now
progressing on from three to four
feet of ore of very good grade.
On the fifth level raise sos is pro-
ceeding regularly, constant prog
ress being made, although for the
present the work is passing through
a barren streak in the vein, which
is not being saved for ore.
Raise 5O7 has also made the Gus
tomary progress for the week, and is
now prosecuting a fault to pick up
the yaulted segment of the vein.
Until recently the work in this raise
was following an excellent body of
ore, and it is expected that the
faulted segment will soon be en-
%countered, with every prospect of
reopening the orebOdy on which OPP
erations have been in progress for
several weeks.
MiZpah Extension
In the property of the Mizpah Ex-
tension company, the report for the
week shows that the north crosscut
on the 1155-fOot level did not make
quite as much progress as was re-
corded for last weeks operations,
the reason being that the formation
has become much harder, thus nat
urally retarding regular progress.
A series of quartz stringers have
appeared in the crosscut as the
work for the past week progressed.
but there is no indication of special
Importance to record. The work
is going ahead steadily in the
trachyte.
Development work during the
week in the North Star has resulted
in a new discovery of ore which is
looking very good indeed, although
it will be impossible until more
work is done to determine the i'm
portance of the discovery. This new
ore was encountered in a crosscut
on the $50 level and is a fault vein,
showing so far two feet and over of
ore, assaying from SIS to 500.
Drifting is under way on this ore to
prove it's extent.
The IL inches az pigh-grade ore
recently encountered on the 1913
intermediate level is still holding it's
own as work or it progresses.
Mining operations in the Tono-
pah Midway, both on behalf of the
company and as conducted by the
numerous leasers who are engaged
on different levels of the property,
have progressed constantly since the
last report was issued.
