enabling the Jim Butler company to
ship lower grade ores to the mill and
at much better profit than previous
ly shown.
On the 1000 level of the Mizpan
Extension property, work is still be-
ing prosecuted in the way of cutting
the station at the top of the raise
from the 1855 level. The work in
the raise now consists mainly in en-
larging the raise to the necessary
dimensions for the installation OF
the skipway timbers, and of course
as the Wine work below the 1875
level proceeds the same dimensions
will be maintained.
North Star Stopping
Stopping in the block between the
900 intermediate ana the $50 level
still continues at the property Of
the North Star company with little
change noted in either the widths
or values of the ore.
The drift on the $50 level on the
vein is now out about As feet from
the main $50 north cross-cut and
(, shows that the vein varies in width
from Is inches to two feet and car
ries fair values.
Development at the property of
the Cash Boy Mining company is
more encouraging than reported last
week. In the west on the 1850 lev
ell, the vein which had faulted was
picked up again at a point about
$50 feet west of the Slope on this
level.
A small amount of extraction IS
being made from the stope on the
1850 level, and assays show the ore
to contain values ranging from SIS
to $40 a ton.
At the property of the Gypsy Queen
Mining company, the report of oper-
ations shows a more encouraging
condition existing. The prospects
seem much brighter as the opera
tons are extended, a slight increase
in values being noted and the ledge
is widening with continued develop
ment.
At the new shaft territory of the
Midway Consolidated Mining com
pany work continues with the usurO
diligence in the south cross-cut on
the 500 level and during the week
it was extended a distance of 40
feet. At it progressed, some small
stringers of quartz were cut, and
while the conditions are very nco
aging no values were disclosed in
the quartz.
Timbers for Rescue Eula
A carload Of shaft timbers has ar
rived and has been delivered at the
property of the Rescue Eula Mining
stump is being bailed out and trap
doors are being put in at the 950
level station in the shaft and prep
a~rations are being completed ior
the sinking of the shaft. 1t is ey-
pected that drilling operations will
be commenced and the first round CT
shots fired in the shaft on FRIDAY.
The present intention of the man
agement is to sink the shaft $50
feet deeper, at least before under
taking lateral development work.
An event of unusual Importance
in the operations at the Monarch
Pittsburgh mine last Sunday, when a
vein about six feet wide was cut on
the $50 level. Further Developments
on this vein, through drifting, snow
it to be well sustained and opera
lions will be prosecuted vigorously.
AT the property of the Halifax
Tonopah Mining company the winzo
has been extended about the usual
distance, and continues to show 4
face of ore containing as good val
ues as when first discovered. The
cross-cuts on the 400 level. being
projected to the north and to the
south, also made the usual distance,
and SO far show no change in the
iormation.-Tonopah Miner.
