71S.40, and the concentrates are
worth, on the basis of $3.50 per
ton, $12,250.
The value of the product of the
Belmont Milling company at Mil
lers is placed at ~$4O,256.SO. This
gives a total estimated valuation of
the bullion of $12S,975.2O, and the
concentrates brings the aggregate
valuation of the shipments up to
S141, 220.20.
Operating conditions at the mine
are maintained with satisfactory
results. The mill beside the Bel
mont shaft is kept working at
capacity on the product of the mine,
the weekly output fluctuating close
around the 5000 ton point.
On the 6O0-foot level. a praise
veloped during the week on 500
east drift off southeast cross-cut $50
on the South vein. While the ore
body itself is narrower than in the
past, the grade has improved to a
great extent, and ore of exceptional
quality is being broken down from
a face measuring 2h feet wide.
Raise 651 which is being projected
from the same east drift on this
vein, now shows only about 1As
feet of ore, and this is of rather
low grade.
On the 7O0-foot lever, rapid pro-
gress was made in $50 west drift
from 760 south cross-cut, which is
being run for mining purposes. The
necessary distance has not been
reached as yet, but when such a
point shall have been attained,
raising will be commenced to tap
the ore bodies above the South
fault.
West drift $40 from southeast
cross-cut 757 encountered a fault
during the week, which cut off the
ore in the face of the drift. The
drift has been turned along the FAULT
in a northerly direction and is now
prospecting for the faulted segment
Of the vein. At the present time
the formation is Mizpah trachyte.
Rescue-Eula
The Rescue Eula is forging ahead
rapidly in it's efforts to develop the
ore bodies on it's main and inter-
mediate levels. A level has been
started from raise 5 at a point
about 70 feet above the main drift,
and is being run to the east. 1t is
going out on a full face of good
ore. The drift from the winze be-
low the $50 level shows about 4
feet of very good grade rock.
The output from the mine, which
this week amounted to about 225
tons, is coming solely from the de-
velopment operations. no attempt
being made to carry on stopping.
The regular amount of progress
was made at the Mizpah Extension
Mining company during the past
week in the two cross-cuts. That
Oh the 114O-foot level, which is go
ing out to the north, is continuing
in the breccia formation, no change
having been disclosed in such
period; while the same conditions
obtain in the east cross-cut on the
IoOO-IOoJ lCNCl. IWO oHllIS " HlcH
are engaged in prosecuting this
exploratory work.
jim Butler Mine
The same normal averages have
been maintained in executing the
development work on the various
levels of the Desert Queen and the
Wandering Boy portions of the
mine. while the slopes which have
been producing from 500 to 1900
tons weekly furnished the maximum
amount during the present week..
At the Wandering Boy section,
on the End level, satisfactory pro-
gress continues to be made in $50
east drift, on substantially the same
showings hat were mentioned in
last weeks report, two streaks of
ore, n on the foot and one on the
hanging wall being followed. There
has been little change in widths or
values, the streaks being IL inches
wide and of fair value.
A most satisfactory physical con-
ditiOn exists at the Monarch Pitts
burgh where drifting and raising is
being had upon the big vein lying
between Extension breccia and West
End rhyolite. While the values in
the drift have been stationary, there
has been a decided improvement in
the 1925 raise which was recently
started and is now up Is feet. The
entire face of this raise is in white
quartz which is ~impregnated with
the usual black sulphide.
