over 80 feet, and contrary to
umors that have been circulated,
there has been neither horse, fault
or interruption of any kind what.
ever. The drift has advanced cor-
tinuously in ore which shows X
cellent values, and the tonnage
milled has been entirely produced
from this drift and the 25 feet of
raise.
Jim Butler Mine
While the report of the net earn
iIgs of the Jim Butler company for
the month of February show a slight
decrease from those of the preced-
ing month, there is considerable
cause for qualification in the fact
that the average grade of the ore
was greatly in exces of the average
Tor January. To illustrate, while
shows that 1852 tons of ore were
milled and earned Il net profit of
$2S,745 the operations in February
resulted in the milling of only 313J
tons, but the net earnings resultant
amounted to $25,512. The decrease
in tonnage is partly accounted for
by the fact that not so much work
has been done in the Wandering
Boy section of the mine during the
past month as has usually been the
case.
In this part of the mine, on tic
fourth level, 453 east drift continued
its advance on the three feet of
quartz, containing low values, as
reported heretofore; and no change
is reported in the north cut,
which is still advancing at the
usual rate of speed in trachyte.
West End Consolidated
Conditions at the West End Con-
solidated Mining company have re-
tanned their usually gratifying sta
tus during the past week, while
several pieces of new work have
been undertaken.
There is no change from the sat
isfactory reports regarding opera
tons in stope 500 and stope sos on
the 500 level, from which slopes
the usual production of good grade
ore was made.
The usual tonnage was also pro
duced from 5000 stOpe in the
CAT chute territory as well as in
657 chute.
On 623 intermediate level from
winze COL the several stopping OPP
%erations, known as slopes s, II, and
16, yielded the usual amount of
ore of very good grade.
On the GAL intermediate level
from the Wine the drift was ~
tended the usual distance with no
change occurring in the workings
OF a particular natur Footwall
cross-cut 6, likewise made good
progress during the week.
Satisfactory progress is being
made in the operations at the Gypsy
Queen property. The management
is getting everything in readiness
to install pumps to handle the wa
ter which is coming into the work
ings, and within a short time these
should be in operation.

nections with the 1900 level. made
good progress during the week.
Four shipments we're made by
leasers in the Montana Tonopah
company's ground this week, but
returns have not yet been received
for the shipments.
According to the report of the
operations being undertaken by the
Tonopah Mining company at the
MiZpah Extension Mining company S
property, the usual good Roadway
has been made in the preliminary
work at the winZe. fne raise from
the 1855 level is being enlarged,
as reported, and good progress was
made during the week.
A shipment of very good grade
ore. considerably higher than the
average mill heads of ToEopah, was
made by the MacNamara Mining
company to the West End mill dur
ing the week. This shipment
amounted to 80 tons.
In the drift on N 1350-foot
level of the Cash Boy Consolidated
Mining company a very important
strike has recently been made. Sup
e~rintendent Dooley kept the fine
secret for about 10 days. but a:

of ore taken on the footwall side

of which $3.50 was in gold. Thu
