cutting up the larger blocks OF

end that the uttermost possibilities

may be escertained.
There are quite a few places in
the mine where smaller veins were

With the working out of the
larger ore bodies, the company is
now taking up the process of devel-
oping the smaller veins, and that
it's efforts are meeting with success
is attested by the in which
the company maintains it's produc-
ton record from week to week,
corroborated by the %quartely report
/ just issued by the company. The
gross value of the ore milled dur
ing the period which included the
months of March, April and May,
was $506, 2S1, resulting from the
treatment of 25,495 tons of ore.
This shows a value of nearly $40
per ton for the ore milled during
the quarter, a considerable improve
ment over the average gross value
of the ore milled during the pre-
ceding year.
West End Consolidated
In disputed territory, the ore is
coming from the usual slopes
served by the two wines, and from
the 600-foot level. The east drift
on the 717-foot level from the
bottom of go Wine encountered a
fault during the week and a cross
cut is now being run to solve it.
The west drift on the vein from the
col Wine, on the same level as
the first mentioned working, is
making excellent progress.
The North Star
Herman Zadig, president of the
North Star Tunnel and Development
company, made a visit to Tonopah
during the week and expressed him
self as being very well pleased with
the recent developments in the prop
erty.
Regular shipments are being made
now by the company, another carload
ha wing gone forward yesterday. The
weights and values on this last ship
ment are not available as yet, but
it is expected hat they will approx
mate closely the splendid returns
that have been made on previous
shipments.
The development work on the sew
eral deep levels of the mine is pro-
crossing satisfactorily, according to
Superintendent loves report, but
there has been no especial change to
be mentioned.

turned Friday after two weeks alb
sence, during which time he was oc-
cupied at the Chips Creek Mining
company property in Plumas county

"With the striking of the channel in
the adjoining property the fact has
been absolutely demonstrated that
the gold bearing gravels are con
tinuous under Gravel Ridge, and if
there ever was an element of doubt
it has beer entirely eliminated.
