West End workings and shaft, AMI
by this method the MacNamara
company will profit to a greater ex-
tent than if it undertook to do the
work itself. In the first place 4
the MacNamara should attempt tn
work this orebody through its own
! shaft, it would Re necessary to cut
a new station at the level CORE
spending t the depth at which the
West End company found the ore,
and from the station run a ross
cut a distance of about 500 feet be-
fore the vein would be intersected.
Or in lieu of establishing such an
other level it would be necessary to
sink q winze from che of the uppe~
levels a considerable distance.
Either method would prove e.i-
pensive and would entail consider
able delay in reaching the ore. and
as tue arrangements made with the
West End are stated to be very sat
| is~factory the MacNamara can extract
and develop the ore in this ledge,
without doing any other preliminary
work, through the West End work
ings which are Immediately ada
cent to this block of ground.
West End Consolidated
At the West End Consolidated
mine all operations are being car
ried on in an entirely satisfactory
manner. The Slopes from which ex.
traction has been reported continue
to produce the usual quantities or
average in value.
There is nothing new on the 400
level and conditions remain in az
satisfactory a state as previously
reported.
On the 500 level stope 533 pro
duced the usual tonnage of good
grade ore, as was also the case il
stope 500 where the usual s~atisfac-
tory conditions prevailed.
In the neighborhood OF stope 500
some pillar work is being carried
ON at this level.
On the 600 level drift sos was
continued at the regular rate Of
speed in a westerly direction, and
grade ore.
Despite the difficulties unde"
which operations are conducted at
the property of tie Halifax Tonopah
Mining company, the work of max
ing connections between the winze
and the lower level made very good
progress during the past week.
The Jim Butler Tonopah Mining
company reports a gratifying in.
crease in net earnings for the month
of January, over those reported the
! several months Immediately precea-
ing. The report states hat 1852
tons of ore were shipped to the Bel
mont mill. and a total net profit for
the month of ~$2S,745.S2 was made.
The contractors engaged in sink
ing the shaft at the TcnOpah Be-
II Mining company are making
very good progress, a footage Of
about 3h feet per day being oh
tanned regularly in the sinking OPP
erations. At the present time the
shaft, which is intended to reach
The 1500-foot point, has now beeD
put down to the 1160-foot point.
The Desert King Mining CON-
pany group of claims, lying to the
south and east of the Bonanza prop.
cr,v, has been acquired by the To
Iopah Bononza Mining COMPANY
thus adding about 40 acres to the
a,ready large holdings CT the Bo"
nanza company.
At thc property OF the Res2,le
the shaft during the past two weeks
resulted IN advancing the depth 20
a point lG1 feet below the $50.
The formation is t%rachyte but IS
considerably altered and silicified IL
the shaft workings.
A small part on the compressor
at the Tonopah Midway mine was
broken during the week, and in con
sequence the mine was shut dow,
for a few days.
| There is still a small amount d
work to be done on the station on
the 1000 level of the MiZpah EXtel-
5icn before operations can be com
menced, but it will be a matter On
only a few days when the Wine will
be workings at full blast.
Developments of a very encohr-
aging nature have occurred during
the week at the Monarch Pittsburgh
Mining company property. On the
intermediate level, the drift was
driven fairly close to the end line
of the claim and then a cross
cut was projected into the footwalt.
The usual progress is being maze
in drifting operations on both tbs
1850 and 1850 levels of the Cash
Boy property, the drifts going oa'
on the contact. Conditions haze
changed materially and fer the let
