neighborhood of $4,000.
The Favorite vein of the Belmont
continue to furnish good reasons
for having been given it's anne AS
development proceeds there is a
constant succession of good ore
showing along this vein. 1t was
opened up OF the 100 level at a
point 200 feet further east than ever
before. The crosscut is not yet
through the vein at this point but is
in it some Is to 16 feet. The entire
width is not ore but about 10 feet
of it is ore of a good grade. 1t is
possible that this will prove one of
the most important developments
that has occurred in the mine fof
some time.
On the 1000 level also the Favor
lite vein is showing up splendidly in
raise 40. This raise has been in a
very good grade of ore for some time
and now shows seven feet of it. .
Monarch Pittsburgh
Developments at the Monarch
Pittsburgh for the past week have
pSCh vel odtioIdCtOty GlouSh botI-
ing of a sensational nature occurred.
The raise which was started at a
point in the vein where the best ore
showing occurred has reached the
hanging wall at a height of 81 feet
above the $50 level and has been
discontinued.
There was a nice streak of high
grade ore from four to eight inches
wide showing brittle and ruby silver
nearly all the way up in the raise in
addition to occasional wider bodies
or punches of lower grade ore.
The main south crosscut is in the
vein a distance of nearly 100 feet
and the same old story of no foot
wall in sight still goes. In this
croscut the values have been low for
the past week but it is looking very
encouraging.
The southwest crosscut has been
turned into a drift and is being III
along the vein almost due west. This
drift is looking unusually we'll at
this time, there being two-foot body
of ore showing in the bottom that
will average about $50 per ton. This
ore was exposed by the last round Of
shots and just what it will amount
to cannot be told until it is further
developed.
Midway
1t begins to look as if the Mid
way mine would soon give a good
account of itself and one more re-
enter the list of producers.
The shaft has reached a depth OF
1870 feet and for the last IL or
IA feet has been going through {
quartz vein from which assays going
rom 50 to $25 per tOn have been
secured. 1t is believed to be the
first ledge that was opened up by
the crosscut at the 1900 level south
of the shaft.
There was a second ledge cut in
this same crosscut at the 1900 lev
Ell and it is the intention of the Mid
way management to continue sinking
the shaft until this second ledge has
been encountered, from Is to 100
feet below the present depth it is
estimated.
This second vein is larger and
showed better values than the first
one on the 1900 level.
! Merger
The new ore showing which was
recently made at a point $50 feet
west of the shaft in a raise from the
$50 level of the Tonopah Merger. is
meeting all expectations as develop
ment proceeds. Both the size of the
ore body and the values are being
maintained and there is every indt-
cation that this will prove n of the
most important developments that
has ever taken place in the Merger.
A stope has already been started and
better than four feet of ore is being
broken down and ser to the mill.
A raise has been started from the
footwall drift at the 1870 level with
the object of picking up the down.
ward extension of the ore shoot
which is being stopped at the $50
level.
Stopping is in progress from above
the ITO level and about three feet
of good mill ore is being broken
down at this time.
Halifax TOnOpah
Stopping is in progress on and
above the 1000 level of the Halifax
and also from the 1161 intermediate
level.
At the present time the output of
ore from the Halifax is from 100 to
200 tons a week and it is being
treated at the West End mill.
Development work is also under
way on the 1900, 400 and 1900
levels and is being prosecuted with
the object of prospecting a very big
area of ore bearing trachyte which
lioc in the eastern norton of the
