The Goldfield news and weekly tribune. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1911-1947, 1915-10-09

raise 81 on the 1OOtWall Drancn OF
the Belmont vein was carried to the
point during the week where it be-
came advisable to suspend further
mining operations, ALTHOUGH there
are still three feet of good ore in
the face. Work was stopped in this
drift as a precautionary meaure. the
purpose being to have a pillar be-
tween the raise and the stope.
In the other portions of the mine
no changes of unusual Importance
have occurred. All operations have
| continued steadily, however, the
usual amount of mining and devel-
opment work being maintained.
West End
The report for the West End Con.
for the week shows that mining OPP
erations in the various workings OF
the property lave progressed with
the usual regularity, and while there
are no developments of extraordi-
nary Importance, constant progress
has been maintained and very attrac-
tive ore conditions exist in the nu-
merous faces where stopping opera
tions are being carried N.
On the 400 level stopping opera
tions were continued in slopes 4S2
and 1872, there being no particular
change either in the width or value
of the ore sh%owings.
On the 500 level the values in
raise 533 showed considerable in
crease, the improvement being suf-
ficient to justify sending the product
to the mill.
On the 600 level the conditions
continue to be very attractive, the
west drift referred to in the prevf-
Gus reports was extended about 20
feet on a full face of good ore, the
exact width of the vein at this point
not yet having been demonstrated.
Jim Butler
The report of mining conditions at
the Jim Butler property this week
shows that no very important chang
es have occurred, although all OPP
erations have proceeded steadily,
and the usual amount of develop
ment work and ore extraction were
maintained.
A very attractive showing has
been developed on the Desert Queen
workings on the 600 level, where, in
No. / raise off No. 6 stope west,
there is now a fine face of ore from
five to six feet in width carrying
good average values. This is a
marked improvement over conditions
last week and appearances are en-
couraging for continued favorable
development.
The intermediate west drift off
raise FOG shows about four feet of
quartz of low values. Operations
are continuing regularly at this
point, with very good prospects.
North Star
The development work at the
North Star has not resulted in n
changes of special Importance since
the last report from the property
was made a week ago..
On the 500 level the north cross
cut was advanced the usual distance,
with no change worthy of note oc-
curing. The crosscut is being driv-
en- ahead in the %trachyte, the usual
DeluS uldlltdllCu.
On the intermediate 1894 level, a
new raise has been started, but is
up only a few feet at present.
About two and one-half or three
feet of vein is disclosed showing a
generally attractive appearance.
Some fair-looking rock is in evidence
in this territory, but some of it is
spotted as yet.
Crosscut 1865, which is the north
crosscut from the 1894 intermediate
level, was extended the usual dis
lance in trachyte in the direction of
the downward extension of what is
termed the hanging wall vein, but
it has not yet reached the proper pc
sition.
In the other workings there are
no changes of importance.
Halifax-TOnOpah
Development operations at the
Halifax property are in constant
progress, the regular amount of foot
age in all the workings having been
maintained for the week.
Work of the character heretofore
reported is going ahead steadily on
the 1900, 400 and 100 levels, the
same, with the exception of the op-
erations on the 100 level in which
a very visible change has oc 'urred.
IT is not vet known definitely just
what this change signifies and can
not be ascertained with satisfaction
until further work is done. The
crosscut is passing through fault
material at the present time.
On the 400 level. the east drift
continues in trachyte and the same
is true of the south crosscut.
On the 1900 level the south cross
cut is being advanced in trachyte,
and the east drift is in fault ma
