Slope 533 continues to furnish
the usual amount of tonnage from
the faces that were opened up re-
Gently and the grade of ore is very
good, the values improving as the
work has been extended.
Stcping above the $50 level and
a small amount of stopping above
the 900 intermediate level is still un-
der way in the North Star mine.
Two footwall cross-cuts Just above
the $50 level have been run in or
der to pick up the footwall sec
ton of the vein. This has beel
accomplished.
The dri.t on the main $50 levei
is still going ahead. Small prog
ress was made owing to the usual
shutdown owe the holidays.
One lot of ore, amounting 10 80
tons, was shipped during the week.
The report for the week of oper-
ations at the Cash Boy is not 50
encouraging as previously reported.
The vein on the northwest drift on
h 1850 level is reported as hay-
ing faulted and operations are. be-
ing extended in an endeavor to pick
up the vein again. The vein in the
store on this level also faulted while
operations N the west drift from the
south eross-sut have been discontin-
ued fer the present.
The west drift on the footwall
vein was extended 20 feet during
the week and is being pushed for
ward in the hope of picking up the
contact at a point calculated to be
about 200 feet northwest from the
face of the northwest drift On the
North vein.
Stopping continues on the 1850
level and a face Of ore is exposed
giving assay values of around SIS
Per ton.
Developments at the property Of
the Gypsy Queen Mining company
continue to be entirely satisfactory
t. the management of the company.
The usual footage was made during
the week and the vein which has
teen exposed in the property shows
both walls to be perfect, while the
values continue to improve as the
work progresses. Bunches of blac!,
sulphides are appearing in the face
of the workings on the 1850 level.
The south cross-cut from the new
shaft of the Midway Consolidated
Mining company was advanced a
distance Of 40 feet during the week
with no change worthy of special
mention having occurred. The
crosS-cut still discloses the lOrma-
ton in which it has been advanced
so far, lie. West End rhyolite, ana
the conditions existing in this work
ing are practically similar t those
reported last week.
At the cid shaft territory, the
leasers are producing about the
usual amount of good grade ore for
shipment to the West End mill, and
good indications are shown in all
the workings for the success of the
l~easers' operations.
Operations at the Halifax Tono-
pah are proceeding in a satisfactory
manner The winze is still being
continued in "a face of ore which has
maintained for it's entire distance
the same satisfactory values dis
closed when it was first struck.
Development operations are being
confined to the Wine work and
prosecuting on the 14OG level.
The report of operations at the
Great Western Consolidated Mining
company disclosed the fact that the
bailing process is proceeding with
great diligence and at the present
time the water has been lowered to
the 1O00-fOot point in the shaft.
The work in the Eula cross-cut is
still making the usual good prog
ress in trachyte formation and nu-
merous stringers have been cut dur
ing the last week.
All other work has been stopped
in order to get ready for sinkiry
operations Immediately after the
shaft timbers arrive, which should
be during the first week i'm January.
At the property of the Tonopah
Bonanza Mining company the work
of sinking the shaft is being con
tinued energetically, the shaft hav-
ing teen lowered a distance of 10
feet during the week. AS this work
Of sinking is being done under CON
tract, 1t is certain to be pushed for
ward rapidly, and when the 1900
level is reached prosecuting to
the north and south will he started
to prospect the adjacent territory.
Everything continues to run along
smoothly at the Monarch Pittsburgh
Mining company's property in the
western section of Tonopah. Tie
intermediate level between the $50
and 1000 was advanced the usual
distance. and it is confidently ex-
pected that within a week or so
this crOss-cut will penetrate the
foctwall of the vein which showed
on the $50 level the rich ore.
