was no interruption in the milling
operations.
At the Belmont shaft, on the
600-foot level, there has been abb
solutely no change disclosed as the
face of 654 south cross-cut, run
ming out from 639 east drift, was
driven forward for the purpose of
prospecting for the Occidental vein
at this level. With the usual rate
Of progress maintained, the cross
cut advanced constantly through
trachyte.
The block of ground within which
is contained the South vein, has
been thoroughly explored by means
of 656 west drift, which was also
projected from $50 east drift. Dur
ing the week the west drift, after
making the usual distance on the
2-foot width of low grade ore shown
during the preceding period, reach
ed a fault to the west of the Miz-
pah fault, and operations were
t%hereupon discontinued.
Another cross-cut, Nc. 653 which
is being driven to the north from
the same east drift $50, is engaged
in prospecting for branches of the
South vein, but up to date no de-
velopments of importance have been
made.
On the 7OO-foot level, cast DRIFT
721, which was started some weeks
ago from 702 north cross~cut, fol-
the purpose of prospecting on the
hanging wall side of the Belmont
fault, was extended at the usual
rate of speed, with conditions re-
naming much the same as pre-
viously recorded, the entire advance
during the past week having been
in the trachyte formation. From
another point on 702 north cross
cut, west drift 1875 is following the
new vein, which was recently inter-
sected by the cross-cut. The show
ings in the face of tho west Drift
consist of about 1 foot OF quartz.
Similar conditions prevail in drift
725, which is going out opposite to
west drift 726 along the new vein.
Rescue-Eula
The report for the week from
the Rescue shows that good work
is being done at this property. The
drift on the 970-foot level is max
ing excellent Roadway on > feet of
medium grade ore.
%1O5O-foot level: The hanging
wall cross-cut has just entered the
vein, which is the downward ex-
tension of the vein on the $50
level, although it was cut about 100
feet farther east. Samples taken at
this point run around SIT per ton.
After the vein has been cross-cut
to the other wall, drifting will be
commenced in both directions.
11OO-foot level: The cross-cut OF
this level is about ready to connect
with the Wine that was put down
from the S00-foot level. When
this connection is made, it will TAR
nish the workings in this part of
the mine with good air, and the
tramming distance will be greatly
shortened, as the ore can be hOisted'
through the Wine.
Halifax TonOpah
A very satisfactory development
has taken place at the Halifax
Tonopah Mining company, on the
%110O-foot level, where a raise, No.
1112, has been going up on a
bunch of drag ore that is stated to
be of exceptional grade. At times
the ore has shown a width up to 3
feet, and all of the rock from across
the widths shown is being shipped
to the mill of the West End Con-
solidated.
Cross-cut 113 on the same level
has made fair Roadway during the
week, and no change has been en-
countered as yet.
The work on the 12O0-foot level
consisted of the extension of 1859
raise, which has shown no change
since the previous report was made.
No operations were carried forward
on the 175O-foOt level during the
period covered by this report.
Some ore is being taken out OF
1914 stope, and, as mentioned
above, out of HIP raise.
The North Star
The North Star Tunnel & Devel.
opment company, on the 9OO-foot
level, is drifting along the foot-wall
side of the Mizpah Fault. The usual
progress was made in the drift last
week, but nothing material has
hcon davalOned IN tO date. 1T is
