the Intention of the management to
start another raise from the top OF
this stope within the next few lays.
Stopping is progressing satisfac-
in 500 drift during the week and the
stope is producing a good tonnage
of ore of good grade.
The west drift from winze ;0l
encountered another step fault dur
ing the week but within 4 short
time the western segment of the
vein was picked up, showing that
only a slight displacement occurred.
The material from these workings
is going to the mill, being of at
isfactory grade for treatment there
Drift III was extended the usual
distance during the week with 10
particular change recorded in the
workings. The rock extracte from
this drift was also selt to tan nil.

the stopping of the diamond irill
operations. However, Charlie, l.
Knox. president of the Montana To-
nopah Mining company, VITA which
company the Umatilla was engaged
in such operations as a io'nt en-
terprise, is expected to arrive in
ToIiopah this morning and it will
no doubt be decided, after an in
spection of the workings, and a
consultation with the management,
whether to sink the shaft to q
greater denth or to prosecutA lat
er'l development at the present
bottom level of the shaft.
The raise from thc 1900 lie gel OF
the Buckeye Belmont, which is re-
ing sent up to intercept the vein
discovered OF the 900 level, has
Progressed 12t feet to date. and is
being driven rs rapidly as 1t is pos
sible to drive it..
Work has again been started upon
thc vcntilating cross-cut, wlicn is
being driven due north in the east
c.dl of the property on the 200
level to meet q crOss-cut that is
teing driven to the south on the
same level of the Halifax. There
is yet to be driven in the Buckeye
1873 feet and in the Halifax 575 feet
to complete the boiling through.
Stopping and development opera
tons continue as usual III the
North Star. Stopping is going on in
the $50 stope above the $40 level,
One car of ore was sent to tde West
End mill for treatment during the
week and another a is about
ready to be seht to the mill.
A cross-cut is being run on the
$50 level in a hitherto unprospected
block of ground. A cross-cu. is
also being run on the 1850 level
and good progress is being made.
Sinking in the Rescue continues
to make excellent progress and the
shaft is now down so feet below
the $50 station, and is in excellent
looking trachyte.
The Eula north cross-cut is max
ing slow progress OH account OF be-
ing unable to handle the muck
from both the crOss-cut and the
shaft but work is being pushed here
as rapidly as possible under the
! circumstances. This cross-cut is
now $50 feet in Eula ground.
The management of the Gypsy
Queen Mining company has ABOUT
completed the station on the 1850
level from wnich II is intended 10
sink a winze. The showings at
this point are v.ry encouraging,
a nice lead of quartz being ex-
posed at the point where sinking
Of the Wine will be commenced.
The usual amount of satisfactory
development took place at the Cash
Boy Mining cOmpany's properly
during the week. Drifting is in
PROGRESSES on both the 1850 and the
1850 levels.
There is very little change to
rerort as to operations at the Mig
pah Extension Mining company's
property, the work on the 1000
level still being confined to getting
tho winze in shape for operation.
Timbering is still in progress at the
hoist station on this level, and the
c"hles are being strung for the
rkip.-Tohopah Miner.
