lash wagon" There is little of any
the very best milling grade, and it
is well-nigh impossible to convey
through the medium of written re-
ports, the extent to which the ore
body has been opened up from one
week to the next and the additional
that have been blocked out
by means of such development
workings.
North Star Mine
Some of the plans under cOntem-
plation by the management of the
North Star Tunnel e Development
company, as set forth in it's recent
reports and notice of assessment to
the stockholders, are now being car
ried out for the thorough develop
ment of the property in sections
which have never been opened up.
On the 10OO-foot intermediate
level, the cross-cut that is being
projected towards the Belmont line
is reported to be in a formation
that is considered very favorable
for the making of ore; in fact,
within the last few days several
stringers of quartz have been cut,
some of which carry good values.
The drift from this cross-cut has
passed through the fault and is
now in good quartz formation. In
spots, excellent values have been
found as the drift makes Roadway.
Halifax-Tonopah
Excellent Roadway is being made
in both working faces at the Hall
fax Tonopah Mining company, but
no change has been shown as yet.
Tie cross-cut No. 1918, on The
10th level, is proceeding through
Mizpah trachyte, and No. 1855, on
the %1200-foot level, was extended
the usual distance, also without any
change in conditions.
MacNamara Mine
The MacNamara mine and mill
are gradually, but none the less
surely, arriving at the point of
maximum efficiency. The output
has consistently been increasing,
since the first week that operations
were started, and ore in consecu-
lively greater volumes has been
which, according to the latest re-
port, succeeded in reducing and
milling completely 4S7 tons. Such
showing brings the daily average
of the mill up to 70 tons, which is
within 5 tons of the expected
record, and there is scarcely any
doubt that with everything
in fine shape, as is the case at the
MacNamara mill. that this standard
will soon be reached and established
on a firm and steady basis.
Under the direction of Superin-
tendent Simpson, the workings
have all been extended at a good
rate of speed. and without a single
every development face
is in splendid grade ore. High
grade values have been encountered
and followed in several Of the
workings, which material, mixed
with ores of lower grade, is keep
ing the average millheads we'll
around normal.
jim Butler Mine
Excellent conditions have been
shown during the past week at the
Jim Butler mine, in both sections,
without much change. Footages
for the week were up to the usual
and the regular produc-
tion work was carried on, resulting
in the shipment of $50 tons to the
Belmont mill at Millers. The mill
has reported the shipment of 20
bars of bullion, weighing 31,SS7
ounces and 90 tons of concentrates,
most of which represents the treat
ments of the Jim Butler ores, which
is the Belmont's mills largest Gus
The bullion and concen-
trates have an estimated valuation
OF $39,S37.
