being put up at a point just below
the 340-foot level, and is expected
to connect Herewith some time dur
ing the coming week, as the dis
lance now intervening is only about
30 feet. Stopping of the footwall
streak of the Valley View vein, west
of the shaft, on 2 feet of ore of
good milling grade is also in prog
ress, and is going ahead on the
same vein as is raise 49S, only this
piece of work is further west of the
shaft.

The profits for June reflect the
usual splendid production at this
property, and compare very favor
ably with those of May, which
amounted to $66,011.41 as against
$61,031.6S for the month of June.
In May the company milled 1920
tons as compared with 1885 tons in
June, and it can readily be seen
that the ore maintained a very uni
form value, showing about 81 net
profit per ton for the months OF
May and June.
Considering the average grade of
ore sent to the mill, and the tailings
loss, this certainly is a good show
ing, and manifests economical and
efficient management.
Operations at the mine continue
in the same satisfactory manner,
with scarcely any special change to
report. In addition to the usual
weekly development, there is con-
siderable exploratory work going
on and a number of cross-cuts are
being sent out into virgin territory
in search of new veins and ore
bodies.
On the 600-foot level, north
cross-cut 653, off $50 east drift, adj
vanced through trachyte the usual
distance during the week. 1t is be-
ing sent out for prospecting pur-
poses, and is exploring virgin
ground. East and west drifts off
south cross-cut 654 on this same
level, are following a small vein of
quartz carrying low values.
On the 700-foot level, east drift
725 off north cross-cut 702 is max
ing good Roadway against a AZ
foot vein of medium grade ore. This
vein was cut about a week ago,
and as drifting has progressed there
has been very little change in con
dition, the ore remaining about the
same value. AS yet, nc work has
been done on the levels below, in
this vicinity, where the vein will
project downward, but in the very
near future prospecting work will
be started for the purpose of pick
ing up this vein on the lower level.
West drift 726 made the scheduled
distance against a small face of ore
about l foot wide and carrying fair
values, while 702 northwest cross
Gu is advancing at a good rate of
speed through trachyte as it goes out
into virgin territory in search OF
new orebodies. West drift 712
off 70S northwest cross-cut is fol-
lowing I'll vein.
West End Cons,
The development at the West End
is probably among the most inter
esting in the district at this time,
as a great deal of it's exploration
and development work is being ar
ried on in virgin territory. The
rich strike hat was made in the
Ohio vein about a year ago, and
which created such a stir in mining
circles, continues to show the same
splendid condition as existed at that
time, and as development at this
point has proceeded a large guam
tity of exceptionally good ore has
been opened UP, a part of which is
sent to the company's mill each
week for treatment.
The weekly report indicates that
the general condition at all the
workings in the West End is most
gratifying and that extensive mining
operations are being prosecuted.
Probably the most important show
ing in the mine this week is in the
Ohio territory, on the 555 inter
mediate level, as the drift on the
Ohio vein continues to be advanced
against a full face of ore of excep-
tional value.
The width of this orebody has
not, as yet, been determined, as only
one of the walls is exposed as the
drift FORCES ahead. 1t is known,
however that the ledge is quite
