level winze are taking out old 3
inch pipe and replacing ladders and
guides, preparatory to operating on
the 200 level.
Ophir on the $500 level raised to
the third floor on the vein in the
southwest drift and saved "A cars of
ore ~assaying 1928 per ton.
Ophir in Central tunnel extended
the north drift 16 feet. In the bot
tom of the drift quartz assays from
a few dollars up to $40. South
drift on the $50 level is being re-
paired and cleaned up.
Ophir saved 500 cars of ore from
development work and milled pa
tons.
Mexican goo level east crosscut
No. 3 shows porphyry and quartz of
low assay value. On the $500 level
west crosscut were extended through
porphyry and quartz of low assay
value. Mill crushed 81 tons of I'm
ion ore ~assaying 1892 per ton. and
SO tons of Mexican wedge rock.
Union Con-, on the $500 level i'll
the main north lateral drift in the
quartz extracted IL cars of ore aver
aging $39.2S and from the south
west drift four cars averaging
$3S.75 per ton. In cutting out for
timbers in the north drift AS ears
of low grade ore were saved. Joint
work continues with the Sierra Ne
vada in the 2450 raise and reopen
ing of the southwest drift to the
Union shaft.
Sierra Nevada aside from joint
work cleaned out the north drift
from the Sierra Nevada incline sta
ton, laid track, etc, preparatory 20
prosecuting for the vein.
Andes repairing $50 level connec-
tions with the Ophir $50 level and
has found lower level of the mine in
excellent condition.
COmstOck Pumping association on
the 200 level enlarged drain and
laid floor and track for ia feet
in the old north drift.
The Jacket mill received 924 tons
of dump rock and shipped a bar Of
bullion to the smelter.
On the 1900 station of the joint
Crown Point - Belcher incline, new
pumps were started and are work
ing well. Water lowered in incline
l3 feet and water held at 125-foot
point below the 1900 station.
Dn1oha, ,a;ca 1Onn f0r nhuto I'd
vanced 80 feet and SO cars of mil
rock saved, which was mixed with
ore from raise No. l on this level.
Repairs were made to the Jacket
shaft and incline and on the 400
level.
The Con. Virginia and Ophir com
panies on the $500 level have been
taking out old three-inch pipe from
the 200 level winze, located at a
point 40 feet in the east crOsscut
on their boundary line and replaced
ladders and guides. The airways on
this level were also repaired, joint
ly with the Comstock Pumping u.s.
ISOLATION. The Ophir in the south
west drift from the east crosscnt
from the $500 station of the 2200
winze, raised to the third floor Old
the vein and extracted IA cars as
saying 1923 per ton. In the Gen.
trail tunnel, the north drift was eX-
tended 16 feet and quartz in the
floor of the drift shows assays from
a few dollars up to SO. From the
DEVELOPMENT work 800 cars of ore
were saved and 275 tons were millcd
The main south drift on the $50
level is being cleaned out and re :
paired preparatory to extensive de-
velopment and prospecting work on
this level.
The Mexican company Jointly
with the Union and Sierra Nevada,
cleaned 600 feet of drain and track
on the 1900 level of the Union shaft
and eased timbers. On the $500 lev
ell, south drift No. 5 from the vest
crosscut on the north boundary line
was extended Is feet through por-
phyry and quartz of low assay value
and the face is in pOrphyry and
stringers of quartz. Total length OF
drift 70 feet. South drift No A was
extended four feet through porphyry
and quartz to the 12-foot point, n
the lace shows the same material.
On the 200 level the east crosscnt
No. 3 was extended eight feet ana
the face is in porphyry and quartz
giving low assay values. Repairs
were made in this drift. At the Mex
dean mill 81 tons of Union ore were
crushed averaging 1912 per ton, n
SO tons of Mexican rock from the
wedge dump.
The Union Con, on the $500 v
in the main north lateral drift WORK
ed in quartz and saved IL cars OF
ore ~assaying $39.2S per ton n IN
making room for timbers 40 cars OF
low grade ore were taken Il III
