sion that the Halifax strike was
made close to the Belmont line, N
that it is, therefore, an extension
of the Belomnt vein system. The
Halifax discovery, as a matter of
fact was made 1850 feet easter
ly from the eastern limits of the
Belmont property and so far as de
veloped it has not been possible, with
any degree of satisfaction. to CORE
late this discovery with known con-
ditions in the Belmont.
A great mount of work must be
done in the Halifax before satisfact-
DRY conclusions may be reached OH
this subject, which under any cir.
cumstances. owing to the great dis
lance of the Halifax discovery from
the Belmont line, will be very diff
cult to settle with definiteness. The
Halifax disclosure however will have
a very favorable general effect GU
the Belmont.
TOnOpah Extension
The output of bullion and concen-
trates from the mill of the Tonopah
Extension company for the second
half of October reached the record
breaking figures of $4,000. The
mill cleanup for this period result
ed in the shipment of "a bars of
bullion weighing S1S3 pounds or the
net value of $71,5OO. together with
concentrates of the net value of
$500.
This remarkable record of pro-
duction from a mill of limited capac--
ity is unanswerable evidence OF
splendid and constantly improving
conditions in the wonderful Extern
sion mine, particularly in the matter
of the rapidly increasing average
value of the ore, which is being eX-
tracted from the large slopes de-
scribed in umerou recent reports.
Through an oversight the record
of net profits of the company for
the month of September. which nave
beer available for publication for
sometime. was omitted from the last
issue Of the Miner and stockholders
will be pleased to learn that the Sep
TENDER profits amounted to $52.-
600.
Jim Butler
The record of operations at the
Jim Butler company for the past
week is one of ~unceasing progress
in the development work thai has
been going forward for sometime. as
we'll as in the extraction of ore from
the developed orebodies, in both OF
which respects the company has
splendidly maintained it's general
average.
Very considerable improvement is
reported in the east drift off raise
sos in the Wandering Boy workings,
in which there is now a face of four
feet of very good ore, whereas when
the last report was given out the
feet in width carrying only low-grade
values.
At the Rescue property since the
last report was issued the work in
the WINE from the $50 level has
been discontinued for the present
pending plans for more practical and
economical workings of this territory
at greater depth, the winze work be-
ing very slow and expensive.
Work of North Star
During the week development
work at the North Star property pro-
ceeded steadily on the new showihgs
CT ore recently encountered, and
conditions at the present time, gen
orally speaking, are very ~satistac;-
DRY to the management.
There have been interruption i'll
the shape of step faults. with when
the company has had to contend in
connection with the ore showing i'll
the $50 intermediate drift. But
these difficulties have been only
temporary, the vein in each instance
having been picked up again with a
few feet of work, the displacement
caused by the faults being only
slight.
The latest cleanup at the West
End mill resulted in the shipment on
Nov. 5 of Al bars Of bullion, weigh
ing 65,S44 ounces. and being of the
estimated value of $4,000.
Vigorous work is in progress In
all of the leases in the Montana
property, and very satisfactory ship
ments of ore were made from sew
eral az these leases during the pas;
few days.
Conditions in the Buckeye Bel
mont property remain much the
same as they were a week ago, al
! though the management is more
encouraged in the belief that the
vein lately encountered On the 900
level. to which reference was re-
Gently made. may develop into a
discovery of extraordinary conse-
quence.
