TONOPAH DEVELOPING

has started the work of laying
heavy steel rail in the newly COM
pleted straight crosscut where the
proper grade ore has been establish
ed. and is rapidly completing the
grading work that remains to be
done. When finished, and the ore
pocket completed, the company will
begin the work of cutting out at the
SO-foot level of the West End shaft
for the accommodation of extra
tracks, and will be able to move its
ore expeditiously and economically
from the slopes to the mill.
Monarch Pittsburgh
After a cessation of development
in the 600 south crosscut for a per-
iod of three months, during which
time the shaft was retimbered and
other minor repairs made, work has
again been resumed in the face OF
the crosscut which is being sent out
to pick up a possible extension OF
the Ohio vein. Since resumption, a
footage of 20 feet has been added.
making the total distance from
shaft $40 feet. 1t is the intention
of the management to drive this
crosscut to the extreme south side
line of the Monarch claim.
Since our last report from this
property, a shipment of 25 tons OF
ore was SEN to the West End mill
which ave a return of $44 per ton
There was also II tons of ore ship
ped from the second-class dump
having an assay value of $616.So.
Rescue-Eula
The same interesting showing in
the Rescue continues on the 1850
foot level, and about rs tons OF
good ore is being shipped to the Yves
End mill for treatment each week
but due to the fact that the mill is
over-crowded with ore, the Rescue
shipments have not been treated as
rapidly as they would have beer
otherwise. The east drift on the
hanging wall vein on the 1850 lev
has been advanced a distance OF
35 feet, with the values varying
from an average of $40 to $40 per
tom. A week ago the ledge was
about seven feet wide, carrying val
ues about $23 per ton, and this
week the ledge is only four and
one-half feet, but the grade OF ore
is considerably higher, samples tax
en- across the face averaging be-
tween $35 and $40 per ton.
The raise hat is being u from
the 1850 level for the purpose oil
intersecting the downward extern
sion of the rich vein that was dis
closed in the bottom of the 3O-foot
winze from the 1050-foot level has
made slow progress on count OF
conditions over which the company
had no control, but the management
reports that the indications warrant
the belief that the top of the raise
is very close to the vein, as quartz
stringers are being frequently cut
Jim Butler
Since the cessation OF efforts on
the part of the Jim Butler Tonopah
Mining company at the Deser'
Queen workings, the company has
been concentrating it's activities al
the Wandering Boy portion of the
mine.
The intermediate west drift from
F stope S, on the second level, is
being driven on the Wandering Boy
vein. which is about two feet wide
and of good grade. The drift made
satisfactory progress during the
week.
On the fourth level there has
been no change shown in 461 east
drift, going out from 400 north
crosscut and following the Wander
ing Boy vein. the showings in the
face of the drift still consisting OF
two six-inch streaks of medium
grade ore.
On the sixth level, raise 651, of
6O3 east drift, is, going out on the
same vein. The conditions shown
in the face of the drift are much
the same as those mentioned in the
report for the previous week, the
vein being about four and one-hali
feet wide, of which one and one
half feet is medium-grade ore.
