ore. The regular amount of prog
ress was MADE IN extending the DRIFT
during the week.
On the second level the quartz
which for some time had been show
ing in the drift lying beneath the
workings in the first level has pass
ed out entirely, but the drift is now
being run so that at a point further
on connections may be made with
other workings and the drift used
for ~ore-handling purposes. The
drift has not a great distance to go
before this purpose cal be achieved.
On the fourth level, at this section
of the mine. the usual rate of prog
ress was made in AIS crosscut, which
is engaged in prospecting for the
extension of the Burro No. 4 vein,
which is expected to be found at a
point south from the vein where it
was worked at other places. Such
good progress has been made in
driving this work ahead that it is
confidently expected that the vein
kill be encountered in a short time,
%whereupon development work will be
prosecuted from the point of inter
section.
Cash Boy Cons.
The development work at the Cash
Boy Consolidated mine in the past
few weeks has been of immense value
in proving up the possibilities of
the property. Besides the drift east
ward from the bottom of the winze,
which has now reached a distance
Of 80 to 50 feet, the drift out to-
ward the west has reached a point
about 40 feet from the winZe.
From the latter working, a raise
is going up, and up to the time OF
Nhe writing of this report, it has
reached a height of 80 feet above the
drift. A good width of ore was
shown when the raise was started,
measuring about six feet across, on
the hanging wall side of the ledge,
knd the top of the raise now shows
the ore shoot to be about four feet
wide. The ore produced from this
development work vas placed on the
ore platform, without being subject
ed to any but the most usual sorting.
MISREPRESENTATION
Two leases were granted in the
Buckeye Eagle this week, n on
ehe 900-foot level and the other on
the 1900 level. Both blocks of
ground have good potentialities.
Meanwhile the work to southeast
continues. On account of the heat

be cut through from the south cross
cut of the Buckeye-Belmont.
This work to the southeast is eX-
tremely encouraging. The rock is
soft, easily drilled and scanned and
crossed with stringers of quartz.
some of which show good values. 1t
is believed that this work is now just
under the foot of a big vein.

The exploratory work has been
following a large mass of drag
quartz, which shows considerable

in the production of 40 to II tons
of very good ore per day. In the

Mizpah Extension
Supplementary the regular prog
ress which was made in the cross
cut to the north. No. 1905, at the
Mizpah Extension company, some
development work was undertaken
on a small vein which was located
neal the winze station on the 1000
level. Only a short distance was
made on either side OF the winze,
