a length of 225 feet on the 1850 lew
ell, with large bodies of good grade
ore on both the foot and hanging
walls. No slopes have yet been
started on the 1850, MOI has the vein
been sufficiently crosscut to deter
mine the average width of the ore,
but the slopes on the 1860 show an
average width of IL feet.
Stopping continues from the 500
level of the old shaft and from the
six upper levels of the new shat:,
the mill eating up an average of bet
ter than 1880 tons per week. There
has been little change in the width
or values for some weeks past.
West End Con.
That the West End Con. mine is
doing a little better than holding its
own is evidenced by the fact that
the last two shipments of bullion
frfom the mill are the best the COM
pany has ever made. The one made
this week as a result of the cleanup
of the mill for the first half of the
present month consisted of AZ bars,
which weighed 69,379 ounces, n
worth in the neighborhood of $45,-
100. This shipment was a little
smaller than that for the last half
of July which was the banner ship
ment sent out by the West End COM
pany.
Very little change is reported
from the mine this week. Wine
go is still being sunk and the cut
ting of the station has not been
started as yet. The winze is partly
in the footwall and there is six feet
of fine ore showing on the footwall
An additional SO feet will be sunk
on the winze before drifting is
started.
Great Western Con.
The report that the Great West
ern Mining company is planning to
start operations at this time should
come under the head of important
if true" There was a report to the
same effect some three or four
months ago and in fact n whose
authority was limited went so far as
to engage employees, n or two of
them coming from Goldfield. How
ever, nothing came of it and the hike
of the prospective employees out to
the Great Western was followed by a
hike back. without any work other

1t may be stated, though, that
when the management finds condi-
tons propitious they are in a posi-
ton to at once resume operations
and the result of the work to date
on that property is distinctly en-
couraging. The company is said to
have something like 100000 cash in
the treasury, and hat will pay for
considerable development work. The
shaft has been sunk to a depth of
over LOO feet and sufficient good
quartz, containing values, has been
found to encourage the belief that
ore in commercial quantities will be

The extensive development cam

though there is no new work going
on at the 9O0-foot level of the Des

The four pieces of development:
which are in progress on the 500
level of the Desert Queen made the
usual footage during the week with

the south crosscut, off raise sol.
cut a good stringer in the fault which
it is now going through.
The three branches of the south
vein are being developed by raises
on the 600 level, none of which show
any particular improvement. The
intermediate west drift on the
south branch of the south vein be-
low this level shows good improve
ment in the width of the orebody.
There is more than the usual
amount of new ground being bro
ken on the 700 level but much of 1t
IS being done for mining purposes.
with the object of getting at known
orebodies, and it's full significance
will be more apparent later.
The only development work on
the 500 level is the raise which is
going up on the south branch of the
south vein and which shows an aver
age of Is inches of low grade ore.
Belmont
AS a result of the cleanup of the
mill for the first half of the month
of August the Tonopah Belmont
Development company today shipped
SO bars of bullion. which weighed
1858 ounces and estimated to be
worth better than $4,000. No con-
centrates we're shipped at this time.
The development work at the To-
nopah Belmont this week was more
or less of routine character and lit
