the level. At the same time, opera
tions were discontinued in south
cross-cut 610, west of the shaft, and
drifting towards the west was re-
sumed on a streak encountered in
the cross-cut some time ago. The
outlook is very favorable for the
making of an orebody in this di-
rection, 1-foot width of quartz
being of the most encouraging ap-
pearance. 1t is thought that this is
perhaps the downward extension Of
the Valley View Footwall vein,
which is being stopped on the level
above. and with this idea in mind.
work is being prosecuted as ener-
getically as possible for the purpose
of opening up the present showings.
Stopping continued on this level
on the Burro No. 4 vein, where 8
feet of milling grade is showing.
At the Mizpah shaft, on the 400
foot level, there has been no change
il the conditions appearing in the
underhand stope on the Mizpah
vein, which is undergoing extrac-
ton as a point west of the shaft.
The 3 to 4-foot face of milling
grade ore, which has furnished sat
isfactory tonnages for some weeks
past, continues to be exposed as the
stope workings are extended along
the vein.
On the 5OO-foot level, the north
east cross-cut west of the shaft was
least, and underhand stopping has
been started on some quartz show
ing in the bottom of the cross-cut.
Not enough work has been done as
yet on this showing to afford any
index to the possibilities that may
work on the vertical vein west of
the shaft has brought back accord
ing to the present report, the
greater width that had been re-
ported in previous weeks until the
last preceding report was made, at
which time it was stated that the
vein had decreased to 2 feet. The
vein has r~egained it's former width
OF 3 feet, and the customary ton
nages were extracted, all of milling
grade ore.
On the 6O0-foot level, west DRIFT
COS was projected the usual distance
during the week, with an encourage
ing change having been shown.
During the latter part of the week,
a 2 to 3-foot width of barren quartz
was exposed in the upper portion
Of the drift, and the drift is now
being continued on this showing.
The stope on the MiZpah vein pro-
ceeded as usual on the same width
as reported last week, namely, a
9 to 3-foot face of good milling
grade ore. Appearances indicate
that the stope work at this point is
about finished, the vein appearing
to be cut off on top by a flat fault.
At the Sandgrass, on the 1140-
foot level, the work of cutting ont
for a station is still in progress,
and during the past week ross
cutting towards the north vas
started. This cross-cut will be con-
tinued until connection is made
with the present workings on the
1140-foot level, and a considerable
distance will have to be traversed
before it's object is accomplished.
In the intervening distance, the
greatest possibilities exist for the
n nnnntnri nf clhcfn ntin1 ~
bodies.
The usual distance was made in
the west intermediate drift on the
Upper Sandgrass vein, which is go.
ing out in rhyolite, wherein some
streaks of quartz, at the top of
the drift, have been disclosed.
On the 120O-foot level, the west
drift on the Breccia vein has beel
discontinued, but work has been re-
sumed in the face of the DRIFT,
which is being projected toward the
east on the same vein. At this
latter face, the vein has faulted,
and it is with the object of recover
ing the faulted segment of the vein
that the resumption of work in the
east face has been ordered. The
stope on the Breccia vein continues
to produce from a 3-fOot width of
milling grade ore. and the hosting
of mill material has been resumed,
after a suspension due to the pro-
secution of the shaft-sinking work.
TonOpah-BelmOnt
: On the 9O0-foot level. a 1-foot
width of fair grade ore is showing
in 994 west drift from 81 north
Shoestring vein. This condition is
similar in all respects to that men
toned in the preceding report, and
the regular amount of progress is
recorded in extending such daYplnn-
