40,743 ounces. The total number of
bars shipped was 60. and the aggre-
gate weight was 104,6S4 ounces
The bullion, which is estimated to
have an approximate value of 81 per
ounce, is therefore worth in the
neighborhood of $1O4,6S4.
General Manager Frederick Brad
shaw returned last Sunday from a
trip of inspection to some of the out
side properties of the Belmont COM
pany. Everything is reported to be
progressing at such places in salts
factory manner.
The usual degree of activity was
manifested at the local mine during
the week. What few changes have
occurred have been in the nature of
improvements. better conditions hav-
ing shown at some of the working
faces in the property.
The work of constructing the adj
ditions to the mill, in providing. the
belt conveyOr at it's terminals, in
Guiding the erection of the tower at
the ore bins of the mill, goes on
apace, and it is confidently believed
that everything will be in readiness
about the middle of the coming
month for the reception of the in
creased tonnage arranged for by the
directors of the Belmont company,
after which the work Of dismantling
the old Belmont mill at Millers for
shipment to the properties recently
acquired in California and Colorado
will be commenced.
Until all is in readiness at the To-
nopah plant to receive the tonnage
from the Jim Butler and other COM
pany has arrangements for treating
their ores, such product will go for
ward for reduction at the Millers
plant.
At the Belmont shaft on the 700
foot level very satisfactory condi.
tons have resulted during the week
in extending raise 5 from the 760
west cross-cut. Proceeding through
trachyte at the end of the previ-
Gus week and the beginning of the
present, the south fault was
tered, which was quickly solved, and
the raise was pushed ahead until
within q short time the faulted seg-
ment of the south vein was recovered
on the hanging wall side of the
fault.
MacNamara Mine
Having in mind the close proX-
unity of the big vein recently de-
veloped in the California claim of
the West End Consolidated Mining
company to the boundary lines of
its own estate, the MacNamara
company has started work in the
direction of the vein on the 725-
foot level. Such work is being
done by means of what has been
designated as drift IS, and an adj
vance of IL feet was made during
the week. The drift is %runninP
southwesterly from drift 10, and at
the present time is showing a two
foot width of fair grade ore in it's
face.
Other development work On this
level has been started up in drift
10. going out in a direction slightly
east of north, and this drift shows
ore practically across the entire face
of the drift, there being a wide
streak on each wall of good grade
with a narrow width of lower grade
ore between.
Slope 2 on the 725-foot level is
breaking against good ore. al is
also stope 1, and the yield from
these places Is being hoisted to the
bins for treatment.
On the 375-foot level, raise So
was extended nine feet, on a

and ore of low grade. This raise
is under the rich territory worked
some years ago, and inasmuch as
there Is a big block of ground
which has been opened ur
the prospects for discovering an ex-
tension of the rich shoots are ex-
ccllent.
Cash Boy Com
Confidently and vigorously the
development work at the Cash Boy
Consolidated Mining company has
proceeded in the last few weeks
until just yesterday it was an
rounced by the management that
