ing show considerable improvement.
On the 500 level stopping operations
are in progress in stope SCI on a
body of ore about IL feet in width,
the ore carrying very high grade
values.
In raise $50 on the 600 level,
which is being put up from the
back of a stope near the western
limits of the territory, there is a
marked improvement. This raise
was started in waste a short time
ago, and within the last few days
has opened up from four to five feet
of ore running about $40 per ton.
In the other workings regular de-
velopment is proceeding, the usual
amount of tonnage being maintained
in development operations, and the
customary amount of extraction be-
ing kept up.
The last cleanup of the mill re-
suited in the shipment of As bars
of bullion, weighing 56,659 ounces,
of the approximate value of $4,000.
Jim Butler
The report from the Jim Butler
mine for the week shows that min
ing operations in the various work
ings of the property have been push
ed with the usual persistence, and
while there are no developments of
extraordinary character, regular
progress has been maintained in the
development work and very at
tractive ore conditions exist in the
numerous faces where stopping is be-
ing carried on.
West drift SOC on the fifth level,
which was started during the week,
already shows from two and a half to
three feet Of ore of very good char
acter, with exceedingly attractive
prospects ahead. In raise 507 on
ing prosecuted on a body of ore
from five to six feet wide. and car
rying very good values. The show
ing in the west drift of raise FOG is
also very encouraging, there being
about four feet of ore exposed at
this point, where, while it is low
grade as yet, the prospects for early
improvement are excellent.
On the seventh level, raise 712
has been advanced until a connection
was made on the sixth level, the
vein at this point of intersection
showing between three and four
feet of ore of very good grade. Min
ing operations at this point should
develop a very interesting condition
within a short time as further devel-
opment of this vein is carried on.
MOntana-TOnOpah
The leasing operations at the
Montana Tonopah are being conduct
ed with great persistence and many
shipments of excellent ore have
been made during the week.
Mckay and Gerun shipped from
their lease 35 tons of ore that yield
ed about $45 per ton, and they are
preparing for a further shipment or
ore of about the same grade during
the coming week.
From the lease of Dick Hill and
associates a shipment of III tons
was made of ore that ran about $40
per ton. These men are busily en-
gagged on their lease and have pros
poets of greatly increasing their ton
mage within a very short time. They
l,ope to have a good sized TOM lge
ready for extraction at the next
hosting, which will take place in a
few days.
Mike Glogovez and associates have
developed a body of ore of excellent
grade, and yesterday were engaged
in making a shipment of about AZ
tons of ore running better than $50
per ton.
Halifax TOnOpah
At the Halifax-Tonopah there
have been few changes of import
ance to report during the week. OPP
erations, as reported last week, are
being continuously carried on, the
usual progress in foOtage having
been accomplished.
Operations are still being advanc-
ed on the 1900, 400 and 100 lev
els, the formation continuing about
the same as when the last report
was made.
Manager Chandler is away from
Tonopah this week, having gone to
San Francisco to attend the national
mining congress-, and it is expected
hat upon his return a more COM
plete report on the condition in this
property will be available.
Meantime all work is progressing
without interruption, and the results
realized are meeting with general
satisfaction.
Gypsy Queen
The Qipsy Queen sinking opera
tions are being steadily advanced
with three shifts of men, and the
management reports this week that
faster progress is being made owing
to the fact that preparations under
