lew udyS 10 allow the HnlSnlnS
touches to be put on the Wine
station, such as %timbering and in
stalling the necessary machinery.
When this shall have been COM
pleted, work on the Wine will be
resumed, as well as operations in
the face of the east drift and in
raise four.
West End Consolidated
The West End Consolidated Min
ing company reported the usual
satisfactory progress at all points
in the mine.
On the 500 level the usual
stopping operations were continued
IN 500 and 533 slopes, which pro-
duced the normal tonnages.
On the 600 level, 6OO-C stope
produced as usual and in the west
ern territory. 6OO-A stope showed
no change from the satisfactory
showings which have been made
there. and the territory served
through chutes $50, 554 and $40
were worked as usual.
n. 621 crosscut has been start
ed and is advancing to pick up
4 segment of the vein which was
opened in raise IA on the GAL in
telmediate level.
In Wine Col on the 623 inter
mediate level. work was confined
to stopping operations, which were
carried on in regular name in
Slopes s, 10 and 16.
MacNamara Mine
J. J.. Joseph, president of the
MacNamara Mining company, spent
several days in Tonopah during the
past week going over the affairs
of the company. which he stated
were in excellent condition. Lately
there have been rumors to the eff
feet that the MacNamara mill was
to be opened and run on company
ores, and a representative of this
paper sought an interview with Mr..
Joseph on this point.
Mr.. Joseph took pains to ex-
plain at length the position of the
company. In substance he stated
that his visit was principally for
the purpose of making certain in
vestigations with a view to rehab-
ilitating the milling plant of the
company, which would depend to
some extent on the price of silver
remaining stable around the pres
ent prices. There is considerable
ore in what is called the Lower
vein. which has been developed by
several thousand feet of work, most
of which was done directly IN the
vein.
Jim Butler Mine
At several points in the Jim
Butler company's property, i'm
proved conditions in the way of In
creased widths or better values, or
both, Jare reported. A greater
amount of activity existed in the
Wandering Boy section of the mine
than has been noted for several
weeks, while in the Desert Queen
workings a resumption of opera
tons on the 500 level, after a
suspension of some duration is re-
ported. The regular tonnages Of
good milling grade ore continue
to go forward to the Belmont COM
PAWS mill at Millers.
The shaft at the TOnopah Bo-
anza Mining company has now
reached a depth of 1,47O feet. 1t
is the intention of the company to
continue sinking until the 1850
foot depth is reached, after which
a station will be cut on the 1900
level for the purpose of starting
crosscuts north and south at this
level. When these workings are
well under way. it is the present
plan of the company to continue
sinking to indefinite depths.
The results of operations for the
past week at the North Star mine
have been very gratifying. On the
$50 level, a vein about two and
a half feet wide and of good mill! =
Ing ore is being followed, with eV-
cry indication that the promising
showings will develop a substantial
body of ore. A continuation of
the raise from the 90O-fOot inter
mediate level was made on about
two feet of low grade ore. Drifting
is in progress on an intermediate
level from the ton of the raise from
the 1850 level, on a small stringer
of very fine ore.
The Tonopah Midway C%onsoli-
dated continues it's prospecting
work on the 500 and the 100 levels
in vigorous n No particl-
lar change is recorded in either
of these workings. the crosscuts
encOuntering stringers of quartz
of similar character to those pre-
viously reported.
