tons, shipments of ore are being
made as rapidly as possible. Two
carloads, ~aggregating los tons, were
sent forward from the mine to the
Western Ore Purchasing company,
at Hazen, where the ore is sampled
and returns therefor made.
All the ore that has been shipped
so far has come solely from develop
ment operations along the new vein
which was recently discovered at a
point about 10 feet south of the
bottom of the winze from the 1850
foot level. This development work
has been done mainly in the west
drift from the c~ross-cut which inter-
sected the vein, very little ore COM
ing from the eastern side of the vein.
Superintendent Dooley reports that
he is now preparing to commence
active operations in the east drift,
where, according to the present
showings, development work should
prove up just as attractive showings
as are at present manifested in the
western drift.
West End Cons.
Exceptionally good progress is be-
ing made by the West End Consoli-
dated Mining company in exploring
and opening up the Ohio vein at
the western portion of its estate.
intermediate cross-cut raise No. 528,
which is being advanced for the
purpose of making connections with
No. 513 raise, before beginning any
stopping work in the vicinity of the
raises mentioned, made very good
progress during the week. The
same statement also applies to 534
winze, which is going down on ore,
and registered a satisfactory foot
age within the anne working period.
Drift $50, which is going out to the
southeast, was extended the regular
distance, but is showing only low
at the present time. The drift
is really a cross-cut cross the vein,
and will be continued until the hang
ing wall is reached.
MacNamara NJ. & NJ. Co.
The report for the week shows
that development has proceeded in a
most satisfactory way and that there
is practically no change from the
conditions reported for the past two
weeks. The usual amount of work
has been carried on, and the slopes
and other faces have been extended
the regular distance and have pro-
duced the scheduled amount of ore.
Five hundred and forty-six tons of
of a good milling grade was
extracted during the week and
shipped to the company's mill for
treatment.
ell is making good Roadway and was
advanced a distance of 80 feet dur
ing the week.
A new piece of work has been
started, in the way of "a raise from
the 6O0-foot level, which is being
put up to connect with the West
End Rhyolite contact.

Active development work is being

shown by the weekly report. Ship
ments of ore to the mill will be re-
sumed, after a few weeks delay
caused by the necessity of repairing
the shaft. The blower that was in
stalled on the 110O-foot level Is fur
nishing ample air for the lower lev
els, which greatly facilitates work
ing conditions on these levels where
the air was bad.
North Star
Superintendent Lowe reports that
the usual progress was made on each
of the working levels during the past
week. On the 1000-foot intermedi-
ate lever drifting along the Belmont
line is still in progress and a very
encouraging face of trachyte is being
shown continuously as the drift ad-
vances. Several s%tringers of quartz
intermixed with a few spots of val
ues, have been found. but so far
there has been nothing of CONNER
cial value developed.
In the 1850 hanging wall raise,
the fault was passed through, and
the vein has been recovered. Where
it was picked up again, the vein is
somewhat smaller than before the
fault was encountered. but the values
are still fair.-Tonopah Miner.
