the mining operations on the Com
stock the past week, as taken from
the official reports Of superintend :
ents
Con Virginia and Ophir have
raised eight feet above $500 sta
ton of 27O0 winze for the purpose
of placing sheaves for hoist.
Ophir installing sill floor sets in
southwest drift ore vein on the 1000
level, to raise on vein. Four cars
of ore, assaying 1925 were saved.
Ophir, at Central tunnel, drifting
along footwall of east ledge
through zone of crushed quartz con-
tanning boulders of good ore. From
development work and Slopes
saved 46O cars of ore. Milled $50
tons.
Andes has reached old stope and
will now draw ont old fill from the
slopes.
Mexican mill crushed 144 tons tf
low grade ore and shipped three
bars of bullion to the smelter.
Mexican west crosscut on the 27OO
level and south DRIFT No 8 on the
$500 level are in porphyr and quartz
of low assay value. Material from
the latter drift sent to wedge dump
Union Con in main north lateral
drift on the $500 level at the 275-
foot point, put in sill floor sets and
started to stope, saving 10 cars OF
ore averaging $34.72 per ton. In
making oom for timbers, 81 cars
of wedge rock saved.
Union in southwest drift on $500
from Sierra Nevada incline saved 23
tons averaging SO per ton.
Sierra Nevada and Union cleanfns
up and repairing old $500 station OF
Sierra Nevada incline, and also the
drift to Union shaft.
Comstocy Pumping association are
cleaning up the east drift from the
Ophir-Mexican Wine or 200 level.
Jacket-Crown Point Belcher Mines
company mill received 9S7 tons CT
dump rock and shipped a bar Of
bullion to the smelter.
Point 80 feet below the 1900 sta
ton of the joint incline in the DID
Belcher ground reached and water
being readily handled.
From the 1900 Belcher raise Sc
cars of mill ore saved, and ~ cars
from 1900 c.. P. northeast crosscut.
The mining reports will be read
with much interest today, especially
at the north end, where much import
ant work is now under way. Ophir
and Con Virginia have been repair
ing the south airway on the 1880
level from the Wine, and on the
$500 level, at the 200 level winze,
have raised to a point eight feet
above the winze station for the pur-
pose of placing sheave timbers fer
hoist. The Ophir company in the
southwest drift, at a point ITO feet
from it's starting point, has been
cutting out ground in the ore vein
for the purpose of installing Sill
floor sets and prospecting the vein.
From this opening four cars OF ere
were saved assaying 1925 per ton.
At the Central tunnel, the north and
south drifts were advanced through
low grade ore. The east crOsscIt
in the east ledge has reached the
footwall, and drifting along the
footwall is now under way, through
a zone of crushed quartz forma-
ton containing boulders of good ore
D- A. orln~oant xunrE and
slopes above the north drift, 400
cars of ore were saved. At the mill
$50 ON were treated. In the Andes
ground, the old stope has been
reached and the old fill will he
drawn out of the stOpe.
The Mexican mill crushed l44
tons of Mexican ore assaying 5.72 per
ton and shipped three bars OF but
lion to the smelter. On the 270J
level, the west crosscut from the
station was extended Is feet
through porphyr and quartz, giving
low values, with the face in the
same material. Total length of the
crosscut. 20 feet, On the $500 level
south drift No. 8 from the west
~crosscut on the north boundary lire
was advanced Is feet to the 2O-foot
point through quartz and porphSl
Of low assay value, the material be-
ing sent to the wedge dump. The
face is in porphyr and quartz.
The Union Con on the $500 lev
el in the southeast drift from the
old Sierra Nevada incline station
took out E3 tons of ore of an aver.
