Tonopah Belmont
The main feature of the report of
the Tonopah Belmont Development
company for the present week is that
at the highest working level, on the
vein recently cut across a width of
20 feet and over, the management
has commenced cutting out a sill
floor with the intention of putting
in a square set stope. The plan of
the company, in The way of extract
ing ore from the vein, definitely con-
firms the bigness of the orebody;
and inasmuch as the ore has ranged
in grade from good to medium, a
large volume of milling material will
be broken down in this particular
stopping area alone.
The manner in which the Belmont
mine, through lean years and fat, has
developed, is most gratifying, and
coupled with work recently inaugu-
rated. and which promises to be of
incalculable benefit to the future life
of the mine, the Belmont shares are
rapidly reaching the status of an
investment hat will pay handsome
dividends to the generations to come.
The other work mentioned consists,
in Tonopah. of the drilling opera
tons on the recently acquired prop
critics, which may develop at any
time: the early inauguration of ac-
tra' ~CnOrations at the Surf Inlet
mine, and the development of other
rronerties in California and Colo
RADIO.
With regard to the weeks de-
velopment at the local property.
the report is as follows:
On the 700-foot level, prospecting
WI 10 pClb6 NOhtlLuCu ny "a
of 70S northwest crosscut, running
out from the west drift from raise
. for the purpose of cutting the
Shoestring vein, which faulted a
short time go. The crosscut made
its advance in MiZpah trachyte.
AS stated above. the only work in
progress in 761 territory is the cut
ting out of a sill for the purpose
of building a square-set slope.
On the 800-foot level, raise Is
tai east drift, with the object OF
prospecting the downward extern
sion of the 761 vein. The face of
the raise at the present time is in
trachyte. The early contamination
of the plans and objective of the
company will mean the demonstra-
ton of backs from the 70O-foot
level down, and the consequent in
crease in the Belmont's reserves.
East drift 500 from 8S4 north
crosscut, on the Shoestring, reports
a better width than was mentioned
last week, the vein having increased
to 2 feet. Good ore continues to
be shown. East drift $50 from S84
north crosscut, on the III vein, is
at present prosecuting through a
fault to pick up the other segment
of the I'll vein. The formation
shown in the face of the crosscut
is West End rhyolite.
on the 900-foot level, 9O01 west
drift from 979 northwest crosscut
was advanced the regular distance
on the Shoestring vein, and shows
a 1R-foot face of medium grade
ore. There has been no change in
north crosscut No. 5000 from the
sill of west stope 6, on the Belmont
vein. since it was started last week
for the purpose of intersecting the
Shaft vein. it's advance being made
in Mizpah %trachyte. Southwest
crosscut 995, from $50 northwest
crosscut, is also in Mizpah trachyte
e~ndeavoring to locate the faulted
segment of the Rescue vein.
On the intermediate levels be-
tween the 900 and 100-foot lev
els, a west drift from raise 60 on
the Belmont vein shows a full face
of medium grade pre-, and the usual
rate of speed in advancing develop
ment work was maintained. The
northeast crosscut from raise 81, on
the Favorite vein, shows a width of
2 feet of good grade ore.
On the 10O0-foot level, raise &C
from the west drift 1868, on the
Favorite vein, was continued during
part of the week, and so far is
making progress on a l Y foot width
of medium grade ore. During the
week operations were discontinued
for the present in the raise. Work
