from the Wine. The work of ex-
traction proceeded as vigorously as
usual on all levels, but there were
no development operations under
taken on the two upper levels. The
three big veins are furnishing their
respective quotas of ore that range
from mill grade to an excellent
the mill is maintained at the nor
nal rate.
Halifax TOnOpah
A short distance beyond the
bottom of the Wine from the 1900
level a raise from the 1900 level
made connections with the 1910
level. This raise has been en-
larged to three compartment size,
spaces being provided for an ore
chute on one side, a waste chute
on the other, and a manway in the
center. An air hoist is installed ut
the head of the raise for the pur-
pose of hosting and lowering steel
and other supplies.
The work Of extraction of ore
at the West End Con. continued
without abatement during the
week. Since the last report was
made, wherein it was mentioned
that work was resumed on the 400
level, because the present price
of silver will justify the eXtrac-
ton of lower grade ore found on
that level, 1T has been decided to
enlarge the scope of the workings
On the lower grade material;
hence a resumption of operations
is noted on the gao level. On this
level and the next level below, this
work is now in progress, and IA sat
isfaetory extraction is being made.
At the Jim Butler mine the us
ual satisfactory progress was made
at the Desert Queen working. The
past week has seen very little
work done in tn" way of develop
ment at the Wandering Boy,
the time being taken up in max
ing repairs to the shaft. 1t is
expected that the repair work will
not be completed tor four Or five
days more or perhaps a week. In
the meantime all development work
done by the company is at the
Desert Queen workings.
At the latter section of the
mine on the fifth level steady
progress was made in SIT north
crosscut, which is advancing in
trachyte. Lately small stringers
of ore, carrying some values, have
been cut by this crosscut.
Rescue Eula Mine
Herman Zadig, vice president OF
the Rescue Eula company was a
Tonopah visitor the past week, in
company with President Laing OF
san Francisco, who is also one
of the prominent brokers of the
coast metropolis. Both gentlemen
expressed themselves as being well
pleased with the condition of the
Rescue Eula.
The hoist to be installed at the
head of the winZe is ready to be
set, and it is expected that with
in a few days complete installation
of this equipment will have been
made and at that time sinking OF
the winze will be continued al
much greater speed.
During the past week raises ]
. and 3 were continued withOJ'
interruption or interference and
within the past few days a con
slant improvement has been noted
The ore as brokt1 in this devel-
opment work is OF excellent grade
and all of it is being sent to the
mill.
North Star
The report Of operations at tn
North Star property continues tC
show the favorable aspects which
have been reported for severa
weeks past.
On the $50 level drifting to the
east was continued on the new
vein, which shows a width of two
feet of good milling ore. The
south crosscut in which the new
vein was encountered, has beer
resumed and good progress wa
made in extending the face.-To
