splendid heights by the series OF
raises which have been sent up di-
rectly on the vein, the Rescue Eula
is daily demonstrating additional
backs and thereby adding to the
vastness of its reserves. The week
ly reports issued by the manage
ment shows that the excellent val
ues of the ore have been consist
emily and uniformly maintained
along the entire length of the vein
and from the top of the raises to
the bottom of the winze.
North Star Mine
Superintendent Lowe reports
that the operations at the North
Star property are progressing in a
most satisfactory manner, with de-
velopment and production work
proceeding under normal condi-
tions.
On the main $50 level the oper-
ations consisted of the extension
of the south crosscut, which ad-
vanced at the regular rate of
speed, with no change having oc-
Cured since the last report was
issued; and stopping in the east
drift from the south crosscut.
On the intermediate level just
above the $50, drifting was con
.tinued on about two feet Of milling
ore. Between the $50 and 1850
lavels the intermediate was extend
ed as usual. The face of this in
e mediate is proceeding on about
a foot of good grade ore.
Another carload of ore was sent
to the mill, while an additional
carload is being made up.
During the past two weeks the
work at the Buckeye has been con-
fined to retimbering a part of the
shaft, where the timbers had be-
come rotten. This is the last sec
ton in the old timbers that were
put in by former owners, and makes
a completely retimbered shaft when
the work is completed.
Three faces are being worked at
the Monarch Pittsburgh. Cross
cuts are being driven north and
south and a west drift is being
extended along the footwall contact
of West End rhyolite and Extern
sion breccia. The body of Exten-
sion breccia encountered some time
ago is proving to be of large di-
mension as prosecuting has been
had for a distance of over 200
feet with no hanging contact yet
in sight.
The report of production and
earnings of the Jim Butler TOno-
pah Mining company for the
month of May recites the facts that
3,153 tons of ore were produced
and milled, at a profit of $23,-
36O.64. This showing is in favor
able comparison with the earnings
OF the preceding month, when
3,166 tons were produced at a
profit of $24,67S.
Satisfactory progress is reported
at the Gypsy Queen, where the work
of sinking the shaft is going steal
be reported in the conditions at
tending this work.
The surface improvements have
been installed at the West Tono-
pah Mining company's property,
and the repair work at the shaft
completed. Sinking is now under
way, it being the intention of the
management to sink to a point
100 feet lower than the present
depth of the shaft, which Is about
$50 feet. From the bottom, lat
eral work will be started to deyel~
op the ground at this level.
Operations at the Mizpah Extern
sion were continued during the
week, though in a limited way. The
only work in progress has been the
sinking of the winze and contin-
uing the stopping operations on the
flat vein. 1t is expected that Mr.
Spur, consulting engineer for the
Tonopah Mining company, will be
in Tonopah within the near future,
and at that time the progress so
far made will be given the most
thorough consideration.
The regular satisfactory progress
was maintained in the West End
Consolidated mine during the past
week, with production fully up 20
the general good average.
The company continued STOPPING
operations on the third, fourth,
fifth and sixth levels. On the third
level. the tonnage was produced
through chutes $50 to $50. -
