TON0PAH mining OPERATIONS result
IN USUAL HEAVY OUTPUT FOR WEEK

The penetration of the ledge oc-
Cured in the easten end of the
vein, and so far the values disclosed
are small, consequently a drift has
been started to the westward, where
all the known values exist. 1t is au-
ticipated that the drift will have to
be driven about 200 feet to reacn
the point where better values in the
vein have been found in the Levels
above, and while this work will nat
urally be of a tedious character TO
those who are interested in the
property and are anxious to have
the development plans consummat-
ed at an early date. there is a ST.
yer lining to ven this small cloud,
consisting of the possibility that in
diving the drift an immense ter
ritory along the course of the vein
will be opened up fraught with the
brightest prospects of Unexpectedly
developing good ore en- route to the
known area of profitable values.
The developments in the drift will
be awaited with great interest as
the work is prosecuted.
A shipment of bullion was made
to the smelter during the week, con-
sisting of 80 bars weighing in the
aggregate S7,165 ounces. The val
tie of the shipment is estimated at
about $4,000.
Jim Butler Mine
The new work at the Jim Butler
Mining company, which is being
prosecuted with a view to develop
ing hitherto unexplored portions of
It's great area, has been considera-
bly, added to during the week, and
chiefly occurs on the 600 level in
the Desert Queen shaft territory. At
the various points of operation, the
conditions are generally in as sat
isfactory a condition as has been
the case for many months past and
production has been maintained reg
| larly, the results remaining salts
factory.
Midway Con.
At the Ionopan Midway Consoi-
dated Mining companys property,
operations are of a very encouraS-
.Ig nature. At the shaft TERRITORY,
work is Icing confined to the south
clo-s-cut on the 500 level, which is
",lng rapidly advanced for the pur-
pose of encOuntering at greater
1epth some of the veins that were
~evelored in the old workings. The
CT oss-cdt is now in West End rhy-
lite, and has cut some very cool
looking quartz stringers, but the
ie1ges are not expected to be inter
sected until the trachyte is reached,
that being the best ore-bearing for
nation. 1t is anticipated that the
cross-cut will enter the trachyte with
out little more work.
Cash Boy
The report for the week of min
ing operations at the Cash Boy is
very encouraging. In the northwest
face is disclosed, with streaks of
extremely high-grade ore. The south
east stope on the north vein shows
tour feet of ore which is stated will
average $40 per ton. The west drift
from the south cross-cut it now out
a distance of so feet, and is pro
ceeding on four feet of vein matter,
which though carrying but small
values gives many promising indi-
cations.
At the Great Western Con. Mining
company's property, satisfactory
progress is being made in repairing
the shaft timbering and unwatering
the shaft. The timbering has been
repaired down to the 900 level, ana
will be continued until the 100
level is reached, when drifting will
be started both north and south for
the purpose of thoroughly prospect
ing the territory on both sides OF
the shaft.
In the Mizpah Extension Mining
company's ground conditions re-
main practically unaltered from the
preceding report. though work has
been started on the 1000 level with
the intention of cutting a station
Cor the installation of a Wine hoist.
On the 1855 level the north cross
cut was discontinued for the pres
and the machinery which had
been in operation at this point is
being removed to the 1000 level.
The encouraging conditions shown
in former reports of the North Star
continue to be maintain
ed, and there is no unusual change
to be reported.
A shipment of SO tons was made
to the mill this week sustaining the
usual record of production.
Operations at the property of the
Queen Mining company are
very interesting and the develop
ment as it proceeds is laden with
the greatest possibilities. Work Is
being prosecuted in an economical
and practical manner and the man
agement is entitled to hearty COM
for the zeal and activity
displayed.
