footage report made.
total of 1877 feet was made in ex-
tending the different cross-cuts,
drifts and raises on and from the
1860 and 135O-foot levels, which
were the only depths at which any
development work was undertaken.
On the other levels, the $50, $50
and 100. the only work done vas
in the nature of stopping and ey-
traction work. Development work
was also extended on the 400 in
termediate level from the main
winze. which extends from the 1850
to the 1540-foot level.
Rescue-Eula Mine
Everything is progressing favor
ably at the Rescue-Eula mine, 1e-
volopment work being pushed as
rapidly as possible and the normal
tonnages being extracted. During
the past week, 3O5 tons were sent
to the West End mill.
Vice-President Zadig, on the last
visit to Tonopah, made during the
past week, went down into the
mine Immediately on arriving and
again just before leaving. Mr.. Ia
dig said:
Important developments are be-
ing made at the Rescue mine. A
great amount of ore has already
been developed, and as it is OK
tracted and turned into bullion, it
statements as to the value of the
pl operty are correct.
"a new raise has been s~tartel,
in addition to the first four which
are up some distance. The newest
raise has been started lea the
east face, and is already up s.
feet, showing very good ore all the
way. The vein has flattened ,ut
considerably at this point, and the
raise will be carried up on it
until the cap-rock is reached. 1t is
our intention now to start drift
ing east again when the new raise
is up so or 60 feet to start an
intermediate drift to connect with
the raise to the east.
"The winZe is going down in it's
1050-foot level as quickly as pos
sible. Superintendent Thomas in
tonds to cross-cut for the vein on
this latter level and then run east
and west on the ore"
West End Consolidated
Operations at the West End Con-
sOlidated mine continued with en-
tire satisfaction to the mana ge-
ment during the past week. Pro-
duction, which in the aggregate
tons, was continued from the usual
stopping places, both in the West
End proper and in disputed terri
tory. The stopping operations on the
third level in West End territory
We're carried on over chutes $50
and $50, and on the fifth level in
500 territory. Development work
as this section of the mine con
sisted of the extension of raises
which are being driven on the
vein, being designated at 304 and
5000 raises.
Development work in progress at
the Jim Butler mine goes steadily
onward, while plans contemplating
the opening up and development of
sbOWings encountered in The pre-
sent workings will be put into Oper-
alton to prove up the possibilities
of the UNEMPLOYED portions of the
property. The output of the mine,
which in the last few weeks has
been increased to 1900 and 1850
tons, is being consistently mann
tanned.
North Star Mine
Superintendent Lowe reports that
during the past week, on the $50
foot level, he is still following the
vein, which continues to show about
2 feet of very good milling ore.
On the 900 intermediate, a drift
has been started on the same vein
which has been encountered above.
This drift, as it advances shows en-
%couraging conditions.
The stope above the intermediate
Oh the 1850 is holding out consist
emily, with practically the same con-
ditions showing as were reported
previously, the vein being rather
small but very rich.
Decidedly improved conditions in
the vein recently uncovered on the
100O-foot level OF the Monarch
Pittsburg mine. The crOss-cut is
now in the vein a distance of 90
feet, and the last round of shots
blasted exposes better showings
than ever, the appearance of the
quartz indicating that the face Of
the drift is approaching the value
bearing material.
