MINES PROF|T|NG
FROM S|(vER'S ADVANCE

SS9,941.5O. The Shipment from
the plant at Millers comprised %
bars weighing 52,392 ounces, hav-
ing a valuation estimated to be
$39,294. The total value of the
two shipments, therefore, is $129.-
1850, constituting the most val
liable shipment that has been sem
from the Belmont company's reduc-
ton plants for many months. In-
asmuch as there have been ship
ments made within the last year
which exceeded the present ship
ment in weight, the enhancement ia
value is the result of the higher
prices quoted for silver bullion.
These two lots resulted from the
cleanup for the first two weeks in
April.
According to advices, the annual
meeting which is ordinarily held
during the first week in May of
each year has been postponed until
some time later in the month. In
the meantime, General Superinteud-
ent Bradshaw has gone to Surf IN
let to inspect the progress which
has been made at that property
since his last visit to Princess
Royal island some weeks ago.
West End Cons.
The report of mining operations
for the past week at the West End
Consolidated mine, as usual, comes
fully up to the excellent standard
so long maintained by the manage
ment.
There is nothing new in the re-
port concerning the operations on
the 500-foot level, the efforts of
the company being confined to ex-
traction work from the various
Slopes on this level Slopes 400 and
533 were worked as usual and flu.
nished the customary tonnages for
the mill.
On the 600-foot level, operations
were continued in 6O0-C stope,
where conditions are practically
the same as have been reported
previously, the excellent widths and
and values being we'll sustained.
In sol winze territory, good tom
nages were also furnished by the
slopes in this locality, slopes s, II
and 16 being worked continuously
without any particular change hav-
ing occurred.
On the GAL intermediate level
from the winze, operations in north
crosscut No. 8 were continued and
good progress was made in extend
ing the face.

which have been made by the man.

which is being extended on two feet
of low grade ore.
On the fourth level, 435 east
drift was continued and good prog
ress was made in extending the face
of TIE drift. There is at present
showing in the drift two to three
feet of low-grade ore, and this
showing is being followed.
At the Desert Queen workings. on
the fifth level. operations were car
ried on vigorously in 517 north
cross-cut, which is going out in tho
trachyte formation. No. 513 east
drift has undergone no change from
the conditions reported previously,
the two to I'VE and a half feet of
low-grade ore continuing during
the weeks operations.
Rescue-Eula Mine
With no material change noted
in the workings on the vein at the
Rescue-Eula, the report OF opera
tons during the past week shows
that the excellent showings have
been very we'll sustained. although
owing to the starting of the raise
No. 4, work in the face of the drift
has been discontinued for the pres
ent. At the point where operations
were suspended. the drift shows a
face between four and five feet
wide. of very good ore.
The raise workings were continu-
ed as usual. and the vein has been
found intact in each place, with the
values continuing as satisfactory as
could be desired.
At the North tar property, cross
cutting is in progress to the east
and west through a block of ira
chyte on the $50 level. An inter
mediate level is being run in a
southeasterly direction on the vein
between the $50 and $50 levels,
