lance during the week.
West End Mine
The fine showings that have,
since the vein was first struck,
constantly been disclosed In the
workings in the Ohio ground, still
keep abreast with the extension of
development work on the vein,
The most important development
during the past week was in the
west drift, from the face of which,
across widths of 5 and Z feet, sam
pies we're taken that fairly amazed
the officials of the company, when
the returns from the assays were
made.
Cuts across the face showed that
high grade ore exists across the en-
tire width of the drift, and all
signs point to a continuation of the
strong values as the working prog
resses on its way westerly.
Besides demonstrating that the
high grade values, which have been
one of the strongest features con-
nected with mining operations on
the vein ever since its discovery,
exist in a portion of the vein
widely separated from previous
workings, the drift to the west,
known as No. 535, Is serving an
other purpose, that is, to block out
the vein and demonstrate its ex-
tent to the west.
Buckeye-Belmont
The work in the Buckeye mine
has been delayed quite a little for
the last month or so owing to a
court decision that raj delayed un-
expectedly. The Buckeye Belmont
company is a holding company, that
owns 80 per cent of the issued
stock of the Belmont Extension Min
ing company. The Belmont Exten-
sion itself was i~nsolvent and had no
treasury funds for development.
Monarch Pittsburg
Work in the raise at the Monarch
Pittsburg Mining company, going
up from the 800-foot level, is now
we'll under way, and as soon as the
proper point is reached a station
will be cut and cross-cuts started to
prospect for veins at this upper
level. The shaft has been CON-
pletely repaired, and work Is again
going forward as usual.
President H. c. Brougher arrived
in Ionopah yesterday, to look over
his various mining interests in
Tonopah and the Gold Mountain
districts.
Halifax onopah
Indications that are said to be
exceedingly promising, in the way
of developing into important discov-
cries, have recently been made at
the Halifax Tonopah Mining com
pany, ON the 1000-foot level and on
the 12OO-foot level as we'll. The
cross-cuts, which are going out from
the main workings on these levels
have both cut a few stringers OF
quartz carrying some values, and
good progress is being maintained
in each.

was totally unexpected. as it was
not thought any thing would be
found until further distance haC
been reached in the cross-cut, where
the downward extension of the
small vein found on the 14SO-foot
level, was expected to be cut.
North Star Mine
The work in the North Star mine
proceeded during the week as
usual, and the developments indi'
